He is intelligent, calculating and reasons

Interfere with ii for his country's good.
So it was with ttie American people
when ttieir character and intellegeuce
was insulted by Secretary Alger and his
underlings by withholding the facts and
truth in regard to operations in the
Pmhppines for a long time. Alger's
action, however, was taken under a more
ifcepicable motive, purely political, as
Otis used to say: "Send nothing that
Wiil hurl the administration at Wash
ington." Lord Wolseley's object in
withholding the truth appears to have
been a kindly motive, to soften me
poignancy of defeat Alger's was purely
political, partisan, despicable. The
American people are enlightened, reas
oning and jealous of their rights and
liberties and can be safely trusted to do
ftli* right thing in any emergency how
ever trying or disastrous and it was
ffei'i&ely this that the Washington ad
Hiiiiistratian feared when it was doing
ite crooked work with the Filipinos in
the early stages of negotiations and the
war. The administration feared that if
the people knew the real facts they
would rise up and demand that the
iQi-j iitous system of imperialism which
Was then designed would be stopped
but ore it was fastened upon the people
the extent it now has been and was
Intended to be, before the people should
learn of it. Though the people of this
country have succeeded in removing the
censorship of government news it has
come too late to be of much good, and
was not as successful as th» prompt
action of the English people* i

The English people have had a taste
of an "old granny" in the war depart
meut much after the manner the people
in this country suffered while Alger was
in the war department in this country,
Mad they have not been slow to express
their distrust and disapproval of his
methods. Lord Wolsey has been a good
soldier in hie day, but be is too antiquat
ed cow for the head of a war office for
an intelligent people. When the dis
patches of British reverses at Dundee,
South Africa, began to come in this head
of the war office held up the full reports
of disaster, no doubt expecting better
news later on when he could temper the
bitter with the sweet and thus let
the people down easy His intentions
•ere no doubt good but they were not
weU grounded. The British people are
just as intelligent as he is and just as
capable and responsible to make the
right application ot lessons of defeat as
he is and they wanted the truth and
facts as quickly as they were sent and
made their demands heard. And they
•ere right in their demands. The Brit

why it is not as fair for the \V. C. T. U•

The report of the commissioner of the
general land office to the forthcoming
congress shows that there has beeu title
granted to South 'Dakota on lauds for
educational purposes to the extent of
nenrly nine million acres the past year.
The surveyor general of South Dakota,
whose report accompanies that of the
commissioners, asks for 86,700 for con
tinuing surveys during the fiscal year
1901. He says:
"An effort to arrive at proper
amount for this item has caused delay
in the submission of this estimate
beyond the usual time anJ I am still
only partially informed as to the extent
of the regular surveys made under the
direction of the geological offioe during
the year just dosing. With the excep
tion of a few outlaying townships, the
portions of the public lands within this
state which are not surveyed at this date
are ohietly contiguous or near to the
Black Hills forest reserve. While much
of these lands is more valuable for min
ing, han for agriculture, there are per
haps none of the townships which do not
contain considerable bodies of land
valuable chiefly for the latter purpost,
and used for suoh purpose only. Some
of these lands are occupied by settlers,
and inquiry shows that a number of
these desire surveys so that they may
perfect title to their holdings. In South
Dakota the surveyed vacant lands aggre
gate 11,070,557 aores the unsurveyed
vacant land, 1,030,557 reserved lands
amount to 12,008,077 aores, and appro
priated land to 21,190,309 acres.

WASHINGTON.
Oct. 28.—The cabinet
Meeting lasted two hours and a half
an hour longer than usual. After thti
Adjournment the members were un«
usually reticent. One member said
that the president had cautioned
thetn against making any 'statement
about the meeting. It can be stated,
however, that a considerable portion of
the discussion related to the Philip
pines, and there is reason to believe
that it was in reference to military and
naval plans which are to be placed in
operation soon.
Discussed the Ohio Ontiaofc.
Fully an hour of the session of the
cabinet was consumed in a discussion
of the political outlook, especially iu
Ohio, some of the members having re
ceived advices from their friends en
gaged in the campaign conveying an
accurate statement of existing condi
tions. There was some talk as to
the
preparation of designs for the new cus
tom house at New York, but no attempt
was made to reach a conclusion.
The
Philippine discussion was brought
about through newspaper publications
of recent date, purporting to outline
the treaty or arrangement which Gen
eral Bates has made with the sultan «f
Sulu archi{elago. Secretary Root
took
occasion to point out the unsoundness
and unfairness, as he alleged, of
the
criticisms which have been cast upon
the conditions of that arrangement, es
pecially where they relate to the ques
tion of slave holding in the islands.
IMPORTANT RULING.
Iowa Supreme Court CawM Revolution
In System of Assessing.
DES MOINES, Oct. 2^.—The supreme
court has handed down a decision
which completely knocks out the pres
ent system of assessing and taxing in
surance. express, telegraph, telephone,
sleeping car and fast freight compa
nies. The law provides they shall pay
certain percentages of gross receipts to
the state treasury. The cotirt holds
that corporations must toe assessed on
the same basis and for the same pur
poses as individuals. A corporation
paying its entire taxes to the states
does not help support city, county and
schools as individuals must do, hence
the law is unconstitutional. Assessor
French of Des Moines assessed the in
surance companies on the cash market
value of their stock. They enjoined
him and the case went to the supreme
court, which upholds French and says
the state collection is invalid. Attor
ney General Reniley says this means
the system of assessing railroads must
also be reorganized under this decision.
FOURTEEN ARE DEAD.

Destroyed by Fire.
MOBILE, Ala., Oct. 28.—The startling
news was received in this city during
the day that 14 people had been burned
to death at A place known as Faires, in
Baldwin county, about 5J0 miles
north­|
east of Mobile. The information was
brought to this city by Captain Joseph
E. Jordan, who resides in the legality
of the fatality. It appears that some
time during Monday night last tire de
stroyed the dwellings of Harry Good
low and Samuel Smithson, cremating
all the occupants of both houses. The
Goodlow family consisted of father,
mother and six children. There were
six persons residing in the Smithson
home, tiie husband, wife, three chil
dren and a sister of Mrs. Smithson.
FAVORED BY LONG.
Soeretary Heartily In Favor of Tpballd
lug the Merchant Marine.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 28.—Secretary of
the Navy Long, in a letter to a local
paper, says he is heartily in favor of
the upbuilding of the merchant marine
and presents three reasons for favoring
the same, as follows:
First—By reason of the financial re
turn which would follow from carrying
our constantly increasing exports.
Second—From the increased business
it would give our shipyards, and,
Third—Because it would furnish a re
serve of seamen upon which the navy
could draw in case of war.
Harrisons Sail for Home.
SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 28.—The Ameri
