TO CRUSH
THE REBELLION.
!
j Plans to Terminate Philippine
i Insurrection.
Vigorous Campaign to be
Prosecuted by the Army
and Navy.
Combined operations of the army
and navy to crush the Tagal rebellion
are to be begun and prosecuted with
extreme energy, according to the
orders that have been sent from Wash
ington, and Filipinos throughout the
archipelago will be speedily brought
to realize that permanent American
sovereignty is not to be questioned.
Simultaneously with the overwhelm
ing vote of the electors throughout
the country this week the period of
enforced military inactivity, due to
the rainy seaso i in the Philippines,
has ended, and fcith the disappear
ance of the two chief causes for armed
resistance against the United States,
it is believed by the authorities that
pronounced progress toward pacifica
tion will be reported to Congress at
its opening session.
The plan of campaign, which is said
to be of a thoroughly comprehensive
character, was prepared by Gen. Mc
Arthur last month after the council of
officers, and has received the unquali
fied approval of the War Department,
without material modification. It in
volves extensive naval co-operation,
including all the regular warships on
the station, as weil as the numerou
small gunboats purchased from thp
Spaniards, which are to be distributed
in flotillas, each with a larger vessel
as a flagship.
The military force under Gen. Mac
Arthur, including the troups coming
back from China this week aggregate
71,000 officers and men, in addittion
to 3000 marines and 500) naval officers
and en.isted men. The total strength
ashore and afloat exceeds that of last
winter by nearly 12,000 men. Tho in
creased force will permit operations
on a much larger scale than any here
tofore attempted, particularly in dis
tricts which have not yet been under
American control even temporarily.
The results of Tuesday's election
are regarded as sure of rendering
easier the Taft commission in extend
ing civil administration to the more
civilized provinces and in making it
possible to reduce the garrisons in
many of the larger cities and towns,
giving more available troops for ex
peditions into the mountain districts,
where Aguinaldo's guerrillas have
hidden when pursued, and whence they
have made raids on the industrious
natives who are friendly to the Ameri
cans. CURES BLOOD 1'OISON.

THOUGHT.
JssssslssasassssssssssstT
It is ever our aim and desire to
please the readers of the DEMOCRAT
and to cover as much space in this
world of news as lies within our power.
The sold routine of newspaper news
filched from everywhere becomes mo
notonous to the reading public as well
as to the writer, hence a few items
based upon a firmer foundation and
covering a wider scope for the active
mind will tend to break the monotony
and stir up the thought of the young,
aye, and even the older minds who
may have a desire to think beyond to
day.
"God and man shall own his worth.
Who toils to leave as his bequest
Ao added beauty to the earth."
Let me give you in the words of an
other this sentiment to remember:
"Life's pathway is uphill. He who is
making true progress is having a hard
time of it. If you find your way an
easy one, you may be pretty sure you
are going down hill, and that is no
direction for anyone. Let no one com
plain, therefore, but rather take heart
in the fact ithat his progress is toil
some; for ft would not be progress if
it were not toilsome." Let us continue
to strive to purify the light of love;
it may shine upon the pathway of
other lives. Let us not be deaf to the
cries of virtut for service, of inno
cense for succor; but rather let us be
found as champions of the weak, the
ignorant, of the tempted and despair
ing ones. Let us give and give freely,
of that most precious in the sight of
God, even of ourselves, ever keeping
in mind the example of Him who came
to minister, not to be ministered unto.
We are living writers, recording on
enduring tablets history, made up of
thoughts and feelings and aspirations
Upon this depends, to a large extent,
the character of those who shall come
after us. In this life our most power
ful training as well as the holiest form
it can take. Home is the sacred por
tal to the outside world, and to have
and continue the closest, highest in
fluence on young life as to foster in
all possible ways, love for borne.
Few realize or entertain any profit
able conception of the position, which
thought, that secret mysterious factor
of tho human creation, that Divine
constituent of man, linking him to the
throne, occupies in relation to all
yes, all, that has been, or can ever
be. Consequently it behooves us in
the beginning to face a few of the
prominent facts which confront us, in
connection with a careful considera
tion of this subject. Thought is the
source of action. Hence, all that has
been, or can ever be, is but the work
of that forceful movement of the hu
man tmind, tho power of thought.
Thought then holds within its way the
the destiny of men and nations, is re
sponsible for all good and evil, and
predestinates the futureof generations.
For just as in spiritual matters there
is no position of neutrality, so is it
in the realm of thought supreme.
There is no neutral, no passive state.
but on the contrary, each thought jier
fornis an unalterable task, decreed by
the Divine creative authority, and
produces action immediate, or else
olds material to that infinite, incom
prehensible chain of secret influences,
which determine future acts. Let no
man think that he can sow evil medi
tations and reap, as tho result, any
thing but the consequences oi evil
acts, which have been born and nur
tured by these most necessary prede
cessors. Let him be not persuaded he
can be strong in his thus weakened
morality, with a sufficient strength to
resist the evil which all men must en
counter. See the latest Paris fashions at the
Rummage Sale.
