Owing (o circumstances beyond their control, the Tagals under Luna have turned ot'er their rations to the United States. Iif his latest interview Gen Miles speaks guardedly. It would have been to his advantage to adopt the habit ear lier, and the same may be said of some other officers. "Abolish the tariff," howls the Inde pendence Conservative, "and prices will seek their natural level." Yes, the deed level of 1S33-1S07 under the Democratic Wilson bill. Kt. A town in Luzon which paid the Span ish officials $18,000 has been forced to hand over to Aguinaldo $112,000. The arrival of the American army U anxious ly looked for in that plac. Cuba is doliglited with mails that ar rive and depart on time, American fash ion. The more the Cubans learn of our ways the more they will want to seo old glory a fixture on the island. Siicb January I, the typhoid fever record in Philadelphia is 5787 cases and 018 deaths, or three times the casualty list of the war with the Filipinos. The city needs pure water and needs it badly. In a caso before the Potter county court Judge Morrison took occasion to say: "It is n mistaken notion that one driving a horse along the highway can compel a man on foot to give the whole of tho road or run over him. A' footman has a right to am pie room as well as a team." The Anti-Imperialist Long no advises the President to keep one small island and turn the rest ot the Philippines over to Aguinaldo. This would eousign the majority to a lato they protest against and the result would be a scoro of fierce tribal wars. Such auvicn should be re served for a different kind of administra tion. Each American soldier in the Philip pines is provided with two full suits of khaki, two white duck suits, an unllned blouse, a pair of kersoy trousers, a cam paign hat, a cork helmet, a pair of leg gings, ono pair of barrack and one of rus set shoes, and both wool and cotton un derwear. Skimping the soldiers in food or raiment is not in Uncle Sam's line. The Governor has approved the bill requiring township supervisors and road coinmiss!oners to make a contract on the first Monday of April for tho removal of loose stones on the main traveled high ways in their districts at least once a month during April, May, June, July, August September and October. The authority conferred by the act may be delegated to pathmasters and the com pensation allowed shall be made by crediting the amount upon the road tax assessed against such perrons. The Democrats of Pennsylvania aro looking to the Republican State conven tion to do something that will give the State to their party this i&W.Philadcl 2hia Press. In accordance with past actions wo sup pose the I'ress will continue to give aid and comfort to the Democrats in its active support of John Wanamakcr and other disorganizes. In this section the Re publicans well understand the Press and its schemes and know that the Press is a good assistant Democratic paper. TI"r ren Mail. Ditto down this way. The question asked by the Royersford Tribune : "What will Senator Penrose do when the case of Senator Quay conies be fore th 3 Senate?" is easily answered. He will voto for Senator Quay's admission, first, because Mr. Quay is the choice of the party j second, because be was ap pointed by the proper appointing power, and, third, because he knows that, under the Constitution of the United States, each house is the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members. Thore are a few other reasons, based mainly upon the distinguished ser vices which Mr. Quay has renderod the party, but the throe named pre sufficient. I'ltila. Inquirer. Andrew Carneoie says the world must turn to America lor the supply of iron and steel which it can no longer obtain from Great Britain and Germany. The iron and steel industries of those two countries are and will be worked to their full capacity, but they can no longer supply the want of the world in that line. Therefore, while there will bo com petition between the three iron and steel producing countries in dull times, they will all be taxed to the utmost in times of business activity to meet the demand up on them. This is additional evidence to that which is being constantly developed. that tho era of prosperity which is now at full tide in this country will continue so for a long time to come. Chaik.man Ei.kin, of the Republican State Committee, has caused to be pre pared a list showing the representation each county will bo entitled to in the next State Convention, there being a do eided change in this respect because of tlio slump in the Repblican vote for Gov ernor last November, The State conven tion will be composed of 213 delegates, Armstrong, Indiana and Jefferson will Lave 2 delegates each and Westmoreland 5. Allegheny will have 22, Philadelphia 01, Lancaster 8, Clearfield 2, Clarion 1, Elk 1, Forest 1, the reduction of over 100 delegates, as cwmpared with the last con vention, being shared quite evenly by all the counties, the heaviest losses falling on those that gave Dr. Swullow the heav iest vote. m.nvMrf tn Mm, to Dun's llcview, were theMuaut....... month since records by months began, 33 per cent, smaller than in April of last year, not a third of the amount of 1S!7, and not half the aniouut in April of any previous year. Roth in manufacturing and in trading they wero the smallest ever known in that month, and in trad ing the smallest ever known in any month, as in manufacturing they were if the larger failures wero omitted. The ratio or defaulted liabilities to Rolvent payments through clearing house was less than 70 cents per f 1,000, against !H) cents in January and f 1.19 in March, $7.89 in August and $S.02 in September, 18!H5. A great share in the risk of the business world has been eliminated. Truly these are good protection times. Tub contest for the speakership of tho next National House of Representatives gives promise of having some lite in it. The resignation of Speaker Reed was un locked for and had thrown matters in a somewhat chaotic state, but as the states men have had time since to gather them selves up it developes that the woods arc full of "willing sacrifices," and every State is turning out one or more, favorite sons. General Ringham of Philadelphia is most liked by Pennsylvaiiiaus, and John Dalzall of Pittsburg, has the fever in a mild form, but being considerably out of line with his coll:igues of the del egation from this State is not seriously considered in the race. And having been largely engaged during the past winter in trying to disrupt party organization we don't see how lie could well be. In the opinion of the Chicago 7'ribunc, "it is eminently proper that a great ban quet should be given to Admiral Dewey when ho returns home. It should be a banquet, however, at which all classes should be represented and not tho rich alone. The President of the United States should attend. Congress should be rep resented. So should tho army and the navy. The learned professions, the ag ricultural classes and the labor organiza tions should be there through their rep resentatives. Some man liko Hooker T. Washington should be present to welcome Dewey on behalf of tho colored men of America. At such a banquet tho Admi ral will be at his ease. He will be among thoso who have always been his friends. The fare may be plain, but the company will be good." The State Treasury is no longer a club in the hands of Quay haters. They have used it in past campaigns for all it was worth. Tuey have lost their only amu nitiou. Any hOHest man of ordinary In telligence can run the Stato Troaury, thanks to the law that a Quay legislature ture passed. Under that law there is ab solutely no opportunity for maniptlating State funds. The public money is placed in banks and the interest upon that mon ey is paid into the State Treasury. It is all very simple, indeed. So there is really nothing (or the insurgents to light about, and wo don't wonder that they are willing to take almost any candidate that the other side suggests, only they want to know tho name of that candidate in advance so they can bo in at the start and give tho impression that they are really winning a victory. Philadelphia In quirer. m Solomon O'Bail, grandson of the not ed Indian chief, died at his home on the Cattaraugus reservation on rnriay ot last week. O' Hail was in his 8.'tb year and n tipical Indian of the old school. He was buried according to the ancient Indian rites and went to tho happy hunting grounds of his fathors at peace with every boitv but those pale-laced denizens ot Oil City who refused to regard him as the owner ofO'JSails Flats. Uradord Era. Future legislators will miss the grizzled and bent old chief, whoso visits to Har risburg were as regular as tho sessions convened. He came there with an inter preter, usually tho big, bronzed Andrw John, who weighs over 300 pounds. After a fortnight's stay in the city they were generally helped homo by an all-round "chip-in" by the good naturcd mcmbors. Tho old chief was linn in his belief that bis tribe had been swindled out of the land on which Oil City is built. And maybe ho was right, lor some of those Oil City chaps aro said to be tough cracks. The more modern of the anti-annex ationists are denouncing Atkinson for his seditious painphlots and utterances. Moreover, his documents will not beper mitted to get into the Philippines. Atkin son has rolled up a rocord in the past few weeks which will trouble him as long as he lives. The copperhead leaders of tho old days suffered for their disloyalty to the end of their lives. Nouo of them could ever be elected to any office after ward. Vallandighain, an abler and more influential man than any of the present Knights of the Golden Circle, was killed politically by bis course in 1801-05. His defeat by Borough by a majority of over 100,000 in the governorship canvass of 1863 in Ohio would have been repeated half a dozen years later if he had been a candidate, though he had done something in the interval to partially alone for some of his political iniquities in the war days. Tho Bryans, Laughlins, Atkinsons and the rest of the Filipino doughfaces will have VTallandigham's fato. Ulobc Dem ocrat. The independents of Baltimore having succeeded in turning over tho govern ment of that city to tho Democrats are now much disturbed lest the old, corrupt Democratic ring may be restored to pow er. One of the independent newspapers is screaming in the largest type: "Dem ocrats beware ! the crafty Rasin is seek ing a foothold." It is probablo that the notorious "Free" Rasin is seoking a foot hold again, and it is still more probable that ho will get it long before tho Demo cratic Mayor-elect's term is out. The "reform"caiupaign in Baltimore was suc cessful in bemboozling tho independents and some Republicans, mid they were helped by the $15,000 ex-Governor Brown contributed. But they would not have be ?n strong enough to elect a Democrat in Mayor without the aid orttie old (iorinan "gang." Ami now that the victory has been won it is not strange that the"gang" wants its pay and thero is little doubt it will get it notwithstanding the screaming against Rasin. There has never been auy other result when reform has been attempted by the way of the Democratic party. Plain. I'ress. And that's exactly the stylo of reform the Press and a number of other Phila delphia papers have been trying to bam boozle the people of Pennsylvania with in the past half year. Tho Press's brand of "reform" is an exact counterpart of that which thn Baltimore independents have helped that city to. Monkins win I lie rintmmr hhii mum?. leaving the entire amount for the two ensuing years $10,000,000. In justifica tion of bis courso he says: The net an nual revenues of the Commonwealth are bout f 11,000,000 of which there is paid out of the Stato Treasury annually more than $(),000,000 in support of the can so of education. Ho says that this magnificent appropriation to the public schools has fi nancially embarrassed tho State, but that if the revenue would justify it lie would cheerfully allow the appropriation to re main at f 11,000,000. Ho claims it is abso lutely necessary to reduce tho appropria tion, and he is confident that the people will justify him in making a reduction of $."O0,0O0 annually, in order that the ap propriations mado by the legislature may bo paid. In this action he is not so much to blame as a certain element in tho last legislature, which styles itself the insurgents. Guerrillas would be a uioro appropriate title. These members first tried to make it appear that tho legisla ture was dominated by Senator Quay and his friends; then, in order to bring as much odium upon the regulars as possi ble, they wero enablod, by the assistance of a number of Democrats, to thwart any effort at passing adequate revenue legis lation that the Quay people might pro pose, In this way tho State was practi cally lelt without sufficient revenue to meet tho usual appropriations. Gov. Stono repeatedly warned the legislature that hu would cut oil' appropriations till they eamo within the limit of the reve nues. The independents, with their Democratic allies, can bo blamed for this condition, but these, will be tho first to accuse tho other side. Teacher..' Examinations, Rrookston, Tnes lay, May 30th.
