The various reviews of the year's
business and commercial progress in
the United States do not indicate any
immediate necessity for adopting
free silver.
If we had only kept to onr origin
al thirteen States we would probab
ly never have gotten into this fright
ful Philippine muss. As it is, we
are quickly sinking into oblivion,
and will probably carry Boston with
vis.
Secretary Gage's action in pre
venting a financial crash is looked
upon by the Populist as particularly
reprehensible. A wa ve of disaster
would have been a splendid card
for them in their Jpresent depressed
and depleted condition.
With War expenses 38 per cent,
less than one year ago and the
Treasury surplus for the last six
months of 1899 over $21,000,000,
those Democratic soothsayers who
saw the Republic tottering on the
brink of an abyss of imperial finan
cial ruin have qnickly turned their
attention to other fields of criticism.
, The Democratic Louisville Cour
ier Journal gives an aralysia of tiie
expansion question -which is fur from
complimentary to Democratic sagac
ity. It says: "The policy of es
panmon is the old Democratio pol.
icy, which the Republicans have
been shrewd enough to take np, and
which some Democratic leaders are
tryintf to getfeiiiocrats to antagon
ize simply because the Republicans
have taken it up."
Bank clearings are safe indications
of businoMS transacted, At the com
mencement of the new year, accord -ing
to Bradslreet's, the total of the
country's clearing housssa was $03
billions an increaiie of 33 per cent,
over the pronperity of a year a(?o,
of 71 per cent, over lb97, and pract
ticiilly double 1SU4. "Aolive ttixk
6peeulutiou," Bradrit rout's says,
"and iuiniense industrial flotitings,
but above all 'Uurmous trade and
indusfriul activity, naturully swell
ed the volume of clearing "
Thi custom receipts for December
with a short number of business
days, amounted to over $19,KW,HH4.
it most renmrkuble and to Detno
cr.ts disgusting showing. When it
is remembered that these receipts
are, with the exception of the small
Item of tea, entirely under the orig
inal IMngley law ns enacted, it will
b ) seen that Democrat who predict
ed its failure as a revenue producer
have cause to look sour. Under the

the customs receipts wore 110,779,-

Theiftiti-impoii ilist propoe togo
before the workiugmen of America
with the proclamation that with the
retention of the Philippines the Un
ited KtJites will lie overrun with
cheap labor Whioh will pauperize
the labor of the country. Such
stateinentts will hardly bear the
light of scrutiny when it is known
that the Filipinos could not be in
duced in any number to leave tUeir
tropical native country for a foreign
colder and alien one. Attention
might also be called to the fact that
England, which supports a far great
er proportion of laboring and factory
hands than the United Blates, has
for years had close relationship wil li
the cheapest labor of the Orient
that of India and yet no pauper In
ilian laborers are found in the fac
tories of Ureat Britain.
The anti-imperialist propaganda
plainly states that it will attempt to
catch the labor vote by showing thai
with the occupation of the Phil
ippines the Chinese Exclusion Act
would be evaded and thia country
would be flooded with pauper labor.
Wo could not, they say, refuse ad
mission to people from those islands,
ai.d that being the case, they would
bo used as a gateway for the entrance
into America of all the Oriental
hordes to exclude which the Chinese
Exclusion law was enacted. There
does not seem to be any great simi
larity in appearance between
Filipinos and Chinese, but even
granting there is, and that it Is im
possible to police the islands to keo,
out those desiring passage to the
United States, there are various oth
er methods by which nndosi ruble im
migrants can be excluded from this
count.rv. American statesmen,
upon arriving at bridges, have hero
tofore always devised some manner
of crossing them, and when this ilif
Acuity arises, if it ever does, it will
be provided for easily and effectual
ly unless Democrats should happen
to be in power.
"Publish copies of every record
of my administration if called for,'
U the sum and subttance of Presi
dent McKinley's instructions to the
members of his Cabinet. That is
the'straight-foward answer of the
man who knows that the closer his
official acts Hre studied, the higher
his adminstration will star.d
to the roundabout attempts
of the democrats Hiid assistant Dem
ocrats to play politics by offering
all sorts of resolutions asking for
all sorts of information, so worded
as to arouse suspicion in tne minds
ot the suspiciously inclined that
their authors know of something
discreditable on the part of some
branch of the administration. .This
offer to furnish any information
desired by Congress, together with
President McKinley's request to
the republican leaders iu both
branches of Congress that they
would not take advantage of the
republican majority to defeat re
solutions of inquiry offered by do-
niDCrnts.has disconcerted the de
mocrats, anil they seem to be in
doubt as to what they shall do next.
The democratic Sona'ors seein to
be even more afratd of the financial
questiou than were the democrats
in the House during the debate on
the republican financial bill. There
was something almost putuutio in
the attitude of Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, when he asked Beuator
Aldrich who is in charge of the
financial bill, if no more republicans
intended to speak on the bill, and
acknowledged ihut no democrat was
ready to speak. Senator Aldrich
promptly replied that thj republicans
were ready to vote on the bill, but
were willing to allow its opponents
to do all the speaking against it
they wished. So far the only speech
iu the Senate against the bill has
been made by bonator Hlewart who
is along ways from being a demo
crat, notwithstanding bis radical sil
ver views. Mr. Bryan expected in
VVahliingtou this week, vu route to
the Eastern .States, where he is go
ing to try to convince the properous
puoplo that tbe country isn't get
ting along all right. Perhaps alter
they confer Willi nun, I no demo
cratic bouatots will be reaily to i!o
more talking, all hougn rumor says
that Mr. Bryan himself has piomUcd
not to do much silver talking in the

EXPENSIVE STUTTERING.
Colonel Davie Talhe tr tnitm Pie
tanre Telephone to Ronton.
Charles A. Davis, envoy extraordin
ary and minister plenipotentiary at
large for a well-known circus, In a
most picturesque and accomplished
stutterer. Mr. Davis withal Is digni
fied, distinguished and decorous, and
resents bitterly any indication on the
part of his hearer Hint he baa not a
free flow of speech. Once in apologiz
ing for his allure to ke-sp an appoint
ment with a friend he started to ex
plain about the accident which bad be

"1 have j-j-J-ust arrived In the s-s-s-s-s-s-8
" He was hopelessly an
chored to that word, and his beuovo
lent friend mildly auggeeled:
"City?"
"N-n-n-n-n-ool" shrieked Davis,
with a gtwture of Inexpressible dis
gust. "D-d-d-d-d-darn it, the t-t-t-t-t
town, darn It, the town!"
Recently, Colonel Davis wna led to
break his rule of steering clear of tele
phones. He was anxious Immediately
to adjust a bit of business with John
Lewis of Boston. He went to the long
distance telephone nt the Hotel An lie.
In New York, hsd Mr. Lewis called up,
and courageously begun the task of
making his wishes known. Nlne
tenths of the conversation consisted of
repetitions of the same consonants.
Colonel Davis has known what It was
to have trouble with consonants, but
on this occasion all his previous ex
periences were surpassed. Consonants
arose like mountains to check his pro
gress. But perseverance finally made
good its reputation for conquering all
difficulties, and Colonel Davis com
pleted his arrangements, the telephone
remaining Intact Davis, with a look
of deep relief, came forth from the box,
wiped bis brow, cracked the drip off his
finger-ends and offered payment. The
girl in charge, with a smile, said:
"It'll cost you t0, sir."
"O-g-gr-great H - H - II - Heavens!"
cried Davis, "1 thought the rale was a
d-d-d-dol-dollar and s-sa-s-seventy-f-l-ff-flve."
"That'a for five mlnutea' talk. We
charge extra for each additional min
ute." Colonel Davis slowly brought forth
a roll of bills from, an inner pocket,
and murmured, as he paid the $40:
"N-n-n-next t-t-t-time I'll a-a-v-e t-
t-t-tlme and m-m-money by t-t-taklng
a t-t-t-train."

the north to the harbor and point of
Bombonon on the south; from the last

Sierra Dumaguete. Its streams are
not important, being short and of little

in the island 49 pueblos, 41 barrios and
40 rancheriae of subdued Inficles.
The east coast of Negros Is bordered
by a reef, which extends more than a
mile from it. Layers of coal have re

The province of Western Negros Is

The capital is Bacolod, Inhabited by

2,000 Inhabitants.
Eastern Negros on the same Island
