V The now Taft commission to the Philippines contemplates the os- ] * V vablishinent of civil law instead of martial luw Hfter July 1, 1900. Vain hope. The war in (In* Phil iftpines is about as threatening uh :f|? it was a year ago. There will be no P<lflct\ there will bono cessation of hostilities, till wo exterminate l agfe' the Filipinos root and branchial gSfP is tixod between them nml the i American people, a gulf no bridge : can span, the chasm of undying - - hatred that, separates the oppress" ors from the oppressed. To have , peace wo must slaughter life l^i 1 i plans as wo have butchered the V^erican Indian or we must corral thepiin fortifications ami starve them as the Spaniards did the ref roncentrcdos. It is a howling farce to bo naming commissions, i pretending the civil law will be resumed with an army of 05,000 invaders quartered in the country and the officers loudly demanding new levies. riio war is a cruel failure and McKinley and (latum, as the cause thereof, ought to be and will bo buried beneath an uvaanclio of ballots. In the House of Representatives last Friday, Congressman Talbert became engaged in n heated colloquy with Mr. Fordney, of Michigan, the occasion being the request of the former that reports front the Pension Committee In; rend for the information of the Ilonse. After stating t hat he would not be|m iieve the South Carolina member under oath, Fordney remarked ^ that he meant the statement to npply only when Talbert said he was a friend to the old soldiers. Talbert then retorted in the following language: 4T accept the gentleman's qualification of his language; and I want to say that if the gentleman I meant to impute untruthfulnenn to I pe, I hurl it back, down hid rotten I throat, and f ?uy that lie stated something that is unworthy of a gentleman upon the lloor of thin House. 1 repeat that when the gentleman says he would not bejieve me on oath, if he means to impute to me untruthfulness, he is If a man himself that will not tell the truth ami ha? not got a spark pf truth about him, and I eram it flown his throat if he meant to II impute t?> me any sikH thing as that." The following official notice was j| p nit to the various connty chairmen last Saturday from tha head. ^t ^' j! "" quarters of the Htqte Democratic Executive Committee.

Abbott, head of the Democratic literary bureau. "This is a most i;ratifyinj* fact," the article continues; "it indicates that should the l)t mocratic party, after mature deliberation, deny to the admiral the nomination which he seeks, it may nevertheless count on his hearty co-operation rii<1 his influence in helmlf of its efforts to end the evils of MvKinleyism by ending the reign of Emperor AVilliam I. We are naturally delighted at the prospect of such a distinguished acquisition to our ranks ns Admiral Dewey.
