The native assembly has de clared in favor of eventual inde pendence and speeches along the same lines were made at the laying of the cornerstone of the new Capitol building. Manila is a long way from Washington, and the reverence inspired by the flag in “the States" is naturally lacking a mong the the polvglot populat ion of the dearly-bought islands of the Orient Pacific. The time is coming when the warnings of the anti-imperialist, now unheaded, will be remember ed in the efforts that will be ; made by that alien people to throw off the yoke of even so beneficent a government as that of the united States. Already the islands have cost j more in blood and treasures than they are worth, although the: extreme expansionist in reply will at once quote commerce figures in the millions to dis prove this assertion. The one thing certain is that there is trouble brewing in the Philippines.- Ark. Democrat. The man who nurses his wrath usually thinks the milk bottle of human kindness is sour. ..- ■ • ««•—--— Flies will not bother a wound where Dr. Cox’s Barbed wire Liniment is used For sale by all Druggists.

The Wells Cash Store at Blev ! ins has gone our of business, and the stock is being moved to Well’s old stand near Wallaceburg. The trial of the suspected parties that burned the property of J. M.

The continueing wet spell is making some of the farmers look a little blue, althought crops are more than an average, and if the rain would cease for a few days and give the farmers a chance to work out what is already planted, they would win out after all.
