Ti niCEY has been engaged in war
thirty-eight years of the present cen
turyconsiderably more than one
third of the time. Spain comes next,
with thirty-one years of war; France

Tue bills now before the Legisla
ture increasing the tax upon foreign
fire insurance companies should be
defeated. All such bills entail an
enormous cost upon our home insur
ance companies by reason of the
reciprocity acts of other states. But,
aside from this, the bills go a step
further, und wipe out the fund appro
priated by the state for her disabled
firemen and the widows und orphans
of firemen killed while in the per
formance of their duty. All these
bills should be promptly defeated.
Good beef was sent to the navy
and bad beef to the army. That is
the long and short of it, -The-men In
the nnVy Maintained excellent health;
the meu in the army sickened and
died. In the navy the lives and the
health of the men were protected by
the o'Dcers charged with the purchase
and inspection of their food. The
men in the army had no such protec
tion, and when Gen. Miles protested
against the inexpressible wrong he
was treated by the War Department
as if he himself were a criminal. The
meu who sold this beef, however,
should not escape.
'Food for the Hungry."
Once again the information is given,
and in a semi-ofllcial way, that the
President is about to take from the
classified service a certain number of
offices that were placed therein at the
close of the Cleveland Administration.
ft has taken the President two years
to make up his mind on the subject.
In the meantime the Cleveland Dem
ocratic holders of the places that are
involved have been enjoying the em
oluments thereof, much to the chagrin
of the numerous Republicans who
have been left out in the cold.
We are told that just before the
President left on his recent trip
South, he referred to the members of
his Cabinet the recommendations
they had made as to the exception
from the classified list of the civil ser
vice. The matter was up for discus
sion at the Cabinet meeting held on
the President's return, and it was
found as was anticipated that trie
heads of departments had few changes
to make in the recommendations
heretofore made.
Some criticisms of the methods of
administration by the civil service
commission were indulged in by Cab
inet members. . The President stated
that he would be glad to have the re
ports sent back to him soon with
whatever ohangee are recommended,
as he desires to promulgate the order
and get it oft his list of unfinished
business. The Cabinet members
agreed to this, and it is understood
that by the end of this week the
President will have in his possession
the final recommendations of heads of
departments. Within a short time
afterward he will revise the order he
bus had prepared for so long time,
sign it and make it public.
It Is said to be the intention of the
President to exempt most of the gov
ernment printing office employes
from the operations of the civil ser
vice sooner or later, but it is not yet
determined whether he will inoorpor
ute this exemption in the coming
order. He may deeide to do so, that
lie may entirely remove the subject
from further consideration. If he
does, the clerks in the printing office
will be kept within the service, the
same as clerks In other parts of the
government service, but the printers,
pressmen and nearly all other em
ployes will be put outside of the civil
service.

the Filipinos.
Two heavy coast guns were discovered

The situation in the Philippines is now
clearly In Anierlcnn hands. The Phil

tives. It will not contain a single word
suggestive of Independence for the Kll
plnos, but will coiiipl their complete
subjection to the will of tho United

The proclamation, which Is to be sent

be nn eminently humane document, al

nntlves a choice between surrender nnd,
practically, extinction.

of soldiers from Agulnahlo's standard,
and the number of those hnstcnlng with
flags of truce to the American lines for
amnesty is so great, thnt the Philippine
commission lias decided that this Is the
time to reason with the natives for
pence.
Indications nre thnt Aguinaldo has
lost much of Ids hold upon the people,
nnd thnt it would require n long time
for him to gather the ends of his scat
tered and dismayed army Into an ef
fective force.
The fields nnd woods nbout Mnlolos
nre dotted with the white lings of those
who seek protection in the American
lines.
Although the natives are being per
mitted to enter the lines in large num
bers, General MncArthur Is keeping
strict watch of them to prevent a trench
erous outbreak.
The remarkable stories of Filipino vic
tories, of the annihilation of whole
divisions of the American nrmy and
other such monstrous fabrications are
having their effect upon the nntlves no
less than the Americnn shot and shell.
Aguinnldo's stories have proved to be
so false that many of those who were
his blindest partisans have lost all faith
In the wily lender.
It Is a prevailing belief among the
Americans that the strength of the in
surrection has been exhausted and that
the so-called Filipino government will
collapse within a short time.
GENERAL, OTIS' CONFIDP.NCE.
niH Cliporlnu PlHpntcli IMcnses tho Of-
flelnlH nt Wnali'nstnn.
Wnshlngton, April 4. War department
officials were pleased by the cheering
dispatch from General Otis received yes
terday. It contains a great deal of en
couragement to them, nnd those who
know General Otis well say he is not
a man to take n roscnte view of the sit
uation unless there is reason for it. It
Is nrgued at tho depnrtment that the
h illpinos have never been used to th.
kind of warfare thnt the Americans
have given them, and for that reason
thoy nre now nwnro that It will be im
possible for them to accomplish any
thing bv fighting. General Otis' dis
patch follows:
"Present indications denote insurgent
government in perilous condition: its
nrmy defeated, discouraged and scat
tered. Insurgents returning to theh
homes in cities nnd villages between here
nnd points north of Malolos, which our
reconnoitering parties have renched, and
desire protection of Americans. Newa
from Visnyan Island more encouraging
every day."
While there is disappointment because
the movement for the capture of a large
force of the Filipinos was not successful.
It is believed the pressing of the insur
gents steadily forward toward the north,
capturing their capital and driving them
from place to place has had a very dis
couraging effect upon the natives who
have been following Aguinaldo. It is
evident by the reference which General
Otis makes to reconnoitering parties
that ho is having the country thoroughly
covered, and that the information which
they are giving him is the basis of th-!
dispatch received yesterday. It is be
lieved that desertions will soon deplete
the nrmy of Agulnnldo to little or noth
ing. It would not take long for an
army of the kind he has gathered to
melt awny nnd disappear In the moun
tains and Jungles of Luzon.
That portion of the dispatch relating
to tho A'lsayans refers to the operations
of which Hollo is the base. The group
Includes Pnnay, Bihol, Cehu, Negros and
others of less importance in the same
vicinity. The rebellion against United
States nuthority wns not very serious
In these Island3, being stirred up by
emissaries' of Aguinaldo nt Hollo. The
constant detent of Aguinaldo's forces
north of Manila hns no doubt hnd a de
pressing effect upon other insurrection
ists. Iloti-olt's Municipal Purclinse Scheme
Detroit, April 4. Governor Pingree
nnd the other commissioners who will
negotiate for purchase by the city of De
troit street railways executed bonds yes
terday for $250,000 each and took their
oaths of ofllce. They sent 11 letter to
the street railway companies stating
that the commission is organized and
ready for business and the lines upon
which they nre willing to ncgotinte.
Members of a citizens' committee which
is opposing the municipal ownership

to the attorney general to begin a test

An Iowa Woman's Story
"It is with pleasure that I write and tell you what your
medicine has done for me. I had been doctoring for two
years and no medicine ever did me so much good as yours. I
tried three doctors, and the last one said nothing but an opera
tion would help me. My trouble was profuse flowing; some
times I would think I would flow to death. I was so weak that
the least work would tire me. Reading of so many being
cured by your1 medicine, I made up my mind to write to you
for advice, and I am so glad that I did. I took Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and followed your directions,
and am now well and strong. I shall recommend your
medicine to all, for it saved my life." fliss A. P., Box 21,
Abbott, Iowa.
