WEDNESDAY. MAY 3; 1899.
At last Spain has peace, but
this government is still fighting for
it in the Philippines.
Tzxab lias fallen in line and the
legislature of that state is now
wrestling with an anti-trust law.
The bifi as introduced is said to be
Tery drastic.
Possibly Secretary of War Alger
is being upheld by McKinley in
holding on t his cabinet portfolio
because the President remembers
that when "Algy" bought the posi
tion he paid a good price for it.
Ik announcing Secretary Alger's
opinion that the end of the Philip
pine war is near, the Philadelphia
Kecord says that a waiting public
stands ready t to receivo the first
authoritative sign that the end of
Alger's official career is also . at
hand. ' 1 " ' .' "
What about that public road
meeting mentioned in these columns
last week? If arrangements could
be made to hold it at some time
convenient . to ' the people ef the
county, we believe it would be well
attended and result in much good.
Think over the matter, and if you
are interested let us hear from you.
Now that the traveling salesmen
of the United States have taken up
the fight against the trusts, there
would seem to . be little prospect
ahead of the latter except a forced
unconditional surrender. At all
events,' the drummers can talk the
monster octopus within an inch of
his life, if they do not entirely
scotch him. -
Certain Ohio Republicans have
expressed their willingness to rely
on the Lord to straighten out the
political tangle in their state.
This is quite a change from the
condition' that has .existed lathe
Buckeye state for several years,
for until quite a recent date the
Lord wasn't figured on, everything
being left to Mark Hanna.
The works of Henry Tim rod, the
- great ante-bellum poet of South
; Carolina, have just been published
in an attractive volume. The prof -
; its from the sale of the book will
go to the Timrod Monumental As
sociation, whose object is to erect
a monument to the author. There
are few men, even in his own be
loved Southland, who are familiar
with the life and poetry of this
great genius. The literary editor
of the Charlotte Observer says of
him : MHenry Tfmrod was one ot
those men who battled with what
some men call fate. He was a dream
er and a poet, as ardent a loverof na
ture as William Culien Bryant In
his brave struggle with disease and
poverty, his career reminds one
eomewhat of Oliver GoWsmith's.
His devotion to the Lost Cause,
which produced his war lyrics, and
his friendship for Paul Hayne, are
the two facts in his life with which
1 Southern people are most familiar.
However, the average educated
; Southerner may find some difficulty
Lin "recalling the words of any of
Timrod's war poems. "Tim
rod has made a distinct contribu
tion to the literature of the coun
try and some of bis work deserves
to rank with William Cullen Bry
. "ant's 1 4To a Waterfowl' and The
Forest Hymn.' I do not think any
one who studies Timrod will incline
to think this judgment extrava-
r Cant." ; . . v

Sand oxtd Dust Storms.
One of the worst sand storms in
year prevailed in central and west
ern Kansas and in Nebraska Sun
day. At Newton, Kan., the veloci
ty of the wind reached sixty miles
an hour, trees being broken and
small buildings overturned.
, At Ellinwood, Kan., hundreds of
window panes were broken, the
skylight in the hotel Wolf was
blown off and many loose articles
were carried away. , The wind came
from the west and blew at a terrific
rate all day.
The storms were severe in Ne
braska, much serious damage hav
ing been done. A dispatch from
Omaho says the rain fall was the
heaviest known for years' at this
season, 'damaging private s property
and washing out sewers in some
parts of the city. At North Platte
a hundred ' telegraph : poles i were"
blown down. At Valparaiso, in
Saunders county, a wind approach
ing the proportions, of a tornado
demolished farm - - buildings and
killed stock. ,
' Stands by Ooshlan.
Philadelphia, April 27. An au
thentic statement was made this af
ternoon, after his arrival in this
city, that President McKinley had
no intention of remeving Captain
Cbgblan from the command of the
United States cruiser Raleigh. The
President, it is stated, reports1 to
the contrary notwithstanding, has
not even considered any such ac
tion and has not thought of adopt
ing any such drastic measures on
account of the heroic commander's
utterances at any banquet. It was
also learned from the same authen
tic source that the admiration held
by the President for Captain Cogh
lan's participation with Admiral
Dewey in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Manila completely
overshadows any desire on his part
to administer rebuke to the Ral
eigh's gallant commander for his
fling at Germany and the Kaiser.
INTERRED AT ARLINGTON.
Two Hundred and Fifty-Two
Boaies of Soldiers iFrom Cu
ba and Porto Rico.
Washington, May 2. The bodies of
252 of the soldier dead brought from
the battlefields of Cuba and Porto Rico
by the steamer Crook were interred at
Arlington to-day with military hon
ors. The ceremony was identical with
that held on the occasion of the inter:
mentof the bodies brought by the
Crook on her first trip about a month
ago, but. neither the President "nor the
members of his Cabinet were present
to-day as on the former occason, the
military display was elaborate and the
crowd much smaller. Acting Secre
tary of WarMeiklejohn, as the repre
sentative of the War Department, in
tb absence of Secretary Alger, how
ever, was in attendance, and Major
General Miles and his staff in full uni
form paid their last tribute to their
departed comrades.
Prosperity's Boorm
Publisher Chappie of 4The National
Magazine" of Boston, in the May num
ber, in writing on the business condi
tions of the country, in part says :
"Evidence has accumulated during
the past month presaging a year of
prosperity in this country. With the
growth of confidence, and Increased
investment had circulation of money,
tho stress of hard times will soon be
forgotten.- Even panics have their
uses in bringing about and adjusting
revolutionary changes in business
methods. Lower prices, smaller mar
gains and a general concentration of
business interests to meet these con
ditions, have been marked features In
trade during the past few years."

hundred years ago.- The memorial
will be printed in English, French

Congress in order to insure its re
ception. It was at .first intended
to have addressed it to the Presi

the request, that he submit it to
the Congress through the proper
