LIN CARKOLL. As to Puerto Rico. There has not been in all the history of our insular posessions a more diverting, and a more characteristic episode than that of the game which has been undertaken in the case of Puerto Rico by a curious combination of freetraders, anti-expansionists, and well, there is no one word sufficiently polite which accurately describes those who would drag the polyglot island of the sea iuto tbeAmericanunion and give them a share in the government of this continent.

The first thing was to get this country committed, if possible, to the extension of the United States tariff sys tern as matter of course to Puerto Rico. To that end it was deemed desirable to convey the impression -indeed, categorically to declare that there had been free trade between that island nnd Spain, whence it could be argued with some effect that this country should be at least as generous as Spain had been to Puerto Itico. Of course that statement was a deliberate falsehood. And if that point could have been gained, wbnt next? Well, the people who want Puerto Ricans to make laws for the government of the United States would have won their trick. For if Puerto Rico was by right under het United States tariff, wby.it must be under the whole constitution, and be eligible for statehood in a year or two.

But the other two parties would have had othpr cards to piny. Obviously the the island would be without adequate revenue, and there would be a cry that we were starving it to death more cruelly than Spain ever did. A revenue must be provided. How? by direct taxes. That whs the prime grievance agaiust Spain.

By issuing bonds? That would mean ultimate and rot very remote bankruptcy. By making ap propriations from the United States treasury? What a howl that would raise, of "paternall6m" and "pauperism" and And in that the anti-expansionists would win their trick. The Republican party had its bit th in an isue very like that which is now presented. The Calhoun doctrine was that the constitution, by its own fore, car ned slavery into the territories of the United States. The Republican party sprang into being from the uprising of the public conscience against tliMt doctrine.

One of the resolutions of the Chicago platform of 18G0 on which Abraham Lincoln was elected presideut, was in these words: "That the oew dogma that the con stitution of its own force carries slavery into any or all of the territories of the United States, is a dangerous polittcal heresy, at variance with explicit provisions or that instrument itself, with contemporaneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial precedent; is revolutionary in its tendency and 6ub vernive of the peace and harmony of tee country. "Ton political heirs of those who put forward the dogma that tli constitu tion of its own force carried slavery into thB territory oi mo uuncu onum uvw maintain the dogma that the constitution of it own force carrlw free trade van into the new Island territory of the SALE Bargains. CLOTHING CO. United Stut en without any legislative actiiin. it is an interesting ctrcum stance that in this new epoch of our his tory the Kepubiican party is again battling for a principle kindred to that which gave it birth.

In tlie extended debate in the house upon the Puerto Rico tariff bill, it was shown that of the sugar and tobacco i Qnw oij the ichicti was owned by the sugar and tobacco trusts, and that the imposition of the turifT proposed would fall upon those neil able to btar it and to contribute at least that much to the support of the Puerto Uicaus But, as in a 1 such cases, the Democracy voted against, the bill because they want the poor tobacco and sugar trusts to have the benefit of free trade. They also shell hogbeads of tearsover theimpesi tion of a small tariff upon Puerto Rican But when the pportunity, through President McKiuley'a special message, to make the revenues resulting from that tariff revert to the people for whom so much sympathy had been expres-ed, every Republican voted for the bill and the only votes cast against it, 11)7 in number, were cast by Democrats. The whole scheme from beginning to end has been a nice one, well planned and ably managed, but we believe it will fail, and we look for the bill with some minor amendments to be passed by lie senate. The Questions Answered. A number of our Djmosratic contem puranesare running an article, present ing live questions supposed to cover points in a resolution introduced for the purpose of inquiring into th management of the national treasury, by Secretary Gage.

Allot these questions were promptly met by the national secretary, and as his answers have not jet been published by these papers, will give them from week to week until the live are answered. The fourth is as follows: 'What securities passed back and fourth between the treasury department and the Standard Oil company?" To this secretary Gage replied: the treas-ury department has at no time held any bonds in trust for the Standard Oil company, nor for any interest, olncr than for the depositing bank. Road Commissioners Meet On last Saturday the newly appointed road commissioners of Lswis township met in this city and effected an organi zation by telectmg W. S. Gifford as president and M.

D. Walker as clerk. After organizing they proceeded to dn? cu--s the best manner in which to work the roads this year in order to give the best jKissible service, knowing as they do that the new road law make9 no provision for expenditures from the county revenue fund; that each roud district must keep its roads in order from the disWict's revenue, the ten cent levy and the poll tax. If this can not be doue, then thev must vote an additional levy. They decided on allowing $2.00 for man and team, and fixed the poll tax at SI.

00 They divided the township into twj sub- dUlncts. The north and south part of the towuship to each constitute a dis trict. The contracted with John F. Elder for the making of the roads in the south district and with J. M.

Foster for the north district, i he price being fixed at i'lSl) per day man and team. Work only to done when and where ordered Ly the commissioners. Mr. is a new man, in one sense of the word, but we believe he will prove a mo-t excellent selection. Mr.

rosier is nit uiu mciccn iuiij uu-deritnnds the work, and doubtless will give the very best of satisfaction. We believe the commissioners chosen by the county court to superintend the road making in this township, will compare with any other three men along this line, to be found any where in this part of our state. While in some respects they regard the law as weak, their logalty and patrotism will prompt their every action to give it a free Bnd impartial trial, and, under their guidance, we believe we will have better roads than ever before.

Il-eii-' listed at St. Joseph, on the 22nd' nay or June, lo.r.i, not! lull Uregou on Wednesday morning, June, 27th for San Francisco, arriving there at no on the 1st day ot July. He remained at San Francisco in the casual department drilling and being drilled, in military tactics until the loth August of same year. He then company with 670 other recruits took the Traiwixirt "Seoator" and sailed for Manilla.

Thev el.ipped fit Honolulu. Hawaii, fur two tortit: therJnil and of and then made their direct pws ge to' Manilla, arriving there on the 11th or! September. They lay aboard the boat in Manilla for three days, and weie there I landed and snl out to their y.moim regiments, Mr. Rostock going to Caluui-pit, where he had to wail for three days before the gunboat Florida, the boat he was being then transported upon up the Rio Grande de la Pampana river could pass under the bridge at Cilumpil, the river at that lime being very much swollen from heavy rains in the mnun tains (this was nil in the rainy neuron in the Puihppiues, and Ed. says that "the rainv season" iiieans something in that country.) Upon leaving Calumpil he went further up the river to th head quarters of the 22nd regiment at Can dahn.

He was drilled there along with the balance of the six companies of the regiment that were stationed nl that place (the other halt of said more companies, being scattered about at different places upon the island doing garrison duty) until tho 12th day of Octolier, when the generel advance all along the north line, was ordered by General Lawton (now deceased Ron lock's command first btruck the "Pious" at Arayat about eight miles from their starting point, Candaba. Here a considerable battle occurred, the Pinos being entrenched about two miles out from town where the encounter first took place. After about an hour's bard tussle, tbu Pinos (who numbered about two to one of our men) were finally rou led from their entrenchments, and fell back into'the town of Arayot. Here the 24th U. S.

regulars who were swinging around upon the town from another direction, struck them, routing them again when they then fled to the mountains. He then remained at Arayot for five days awaiting supplies and reinforcements, the former ot which had to come by way of the river, and tbe lat ter by overland marches from San Fer after which a night advance was maile northward in the direction of Cobino. the town next to be attacked. Ed. with seven others were placed on guaid at the furthereet outposts from the camp and staid tbe balance of the night on guard.

The next morning by some sort of oversight tbe command put out towards the town tor the attack leaving these 6entnes still on post, aud it was only as the rear with the wagon trains pulled by that tbe boys discovered that they hadbeeu abandoned in tbe eaemy's country, the eight of them alone. A chase then began by tbe boys to overtake tne command and it was not until the town was about reached and the "Pinos'" began to open fire upon our boys that the "lone eight" arrived on the scene and fell into line inBUppurt of the attacking columns of Macabebe scouts. The "Pinos" immediately skipped out northward towards San Isidro, but tbe command stopiwd at Cobiao for the balance of that day and that night, and that night (the second night in succession) Mr. Rjstuck waa again put upon guard. The next morning it was raining sb usual but that did not delay the advance on San Isidro.

This town was six miles from the troop's starting point, but was reached by nine o'clock in the morning. Tbe Pinos were first in evidence however some two miles before the town waa reached where they had torn up about one half of a bridge. They made a stand here of about a half an hour, but when reinforcements came up the Pinos vamoosed and made thir way rapidly to town. Ed's company crossed the bridge and was deployed upon the other side after which they advanced on tbe town and it is to the credit of this company. (Ed's company) that they took the inwn of San Isidro.

Here they remained aboul a wiek awaiting more supplies, nnd for the towns behind tn lie garrisoned. Here a ferry was put in on tbe Rio Grande de la Pm panga river by the engineer corps, and the command crossing over this ferry took up the march fnrSanta Rosa. Here unolher engagement occurred lasting about three quarters ot an hour after which (to put it in Ed's own language) "the Niggers got up and Hew." The next move was made to Cabanalaun. from whence Mr. Rostock was fcent back to the division hospital at San Isidro on account of sickness.

After t-t tying here three days, he in disobedience to tbe doctor's commands, left tie hospital and went back to the army in the field. (He was fined for this disobedience of orders one month's pay but. afterwards the fine was remitted by Major Hall, commanding the first reserve hospital at Manilla.) After returning to the command from hospital al San Isidro he accompanied tbe army on through the campaign until the town of San Fabian whs reached during which time a number of more or less interesting skirmishes were had with tbe festive Fiilipinos. and hero be, in company with over other tol-diers on or about the loth of December left the command by order of tlie chief surgeon, and was sent to the first reserve hospital at Manilla. He remained at Manilla from this time until February 1st, 1900.

when he was discharged, and he then sailed for home on the 7th of the same month as herein before related. M. Rostock brought home with him a trunk full of relics and curios. On his return home he visited several interesting places in Japan, and also colleoted several mementos of his experiences with the Japs. He was three days at Nagaisiki.

Comb-, of Craig, died in St. Louis, on Friday ot last week, March 1(5, 1900, due to" peritonitis, fol lowing the birth of an immature child on March 10, says the Globe-Democrat. The body was brought to Craig on Monday of this week for interment. As a result of this death, Mrs. Matilda Meyers, a midwife has leen arrested.

Mrs. Meyers stated on her being arrested that "the death of the girl was due to her ondition on her arrival at my home and to nothing that had occurred after that time." It is also claimed that the dead girl had told one of the physicians who attended her that "her condition was due to her own action." She was the daughter of J. J. Combs who resides in the Perkins neighborhood southwest of Craig. An inquest was held into the death of Miss Combs.

The evidenco showed, says the Globe- Democrat, that Miss Combs was responsible for her own death, and the jury exonerated Mrs. Meyer from any blame. Rev. Anna H. Shaw lectured at the M.

E. church Thursday night, March 10, to the largest audience of tho scafon. 7.1 iss Shaw is a speaker of striking ap- pearance, novel and brilliant ideas, and strong, rapid delivery. She is lluent, witty and eloquent. Her subject was tho "New Man." and.

while tho new-man was somewhat late in getting into the discourse, he was quite thoroughly exhibited to her audience. His many excellent traits wero praised, some of his faults criticised, and a few of his vanities and eccentricities laughed at. Tho speaker's treatment ot the tobacco habit and its effect on tho boys of this day, was a marked feature of the lecture, aud, if generally heeded, it would result in great national good. Her conclusion was as grand and eloquent as anything given here for some time. And the writer, an "old, old" man, after hearing Miss Shaw, must admit, that no matter what the new man has not.

can not or is not, the new woman is sometim-s endowed with the power that is said to have raised a mortal to the skies, and that "could swell the soul to rage, or kindlo soft desire OF TITLE promptly and accurately made MISSOURI 1.
