All of whioh is as amusing as the
funniest "piece" in the funniest of
comic papers. We never met an
Amerioan who would have this
country take the whole or any part
of South America as a gift. Did
you?
It would be amusing, if it did
not so nearly approach the line of
treason, to witness the frantio but
ineffectual attempts of a few senti

create a sentiment in favor of their
struggling hero and statesman,
Aguinaldo. They seem not to real

subscription to The Mail. We are
satisfied you want to pay us and we
re satisfied you intend doing bo
because it is an honest debt, con-
tracted in moet instances by honest
subscribers.
It will be to your interest to pay
the amount due before January 1st
we have made it an object to you
to do so. You can well afford to
put forth an extra effort to meet
these demands. : Won't you do it?
A cabeful estimate of the grain
yield of the valley the past year, as
shown by the eight machines in op
ration during the harvest period,
gives an aggregate of wheat of 400,'
000 bushels; 30,000 bushels of bar
ley and 80,000 of oats. The hay
crop as near as can be estimated
was from 45,000 to 60,000 tons.
Later on an estimate will be made
f the amrunt of the bacon pack.
The Oregonian has admitted that
President McKinley "has done
well." This is a startling assertion
lor that paper to make, but even it,
bitter as it has been against the
president, will soon see the error of
ite way and realize the mistake it
has made in assailing one so emi
nently qualified as is Mr. MoKinley.
. The Oregonian in its tirade against
the president forgets the trying
position in . which Mr. McKinley
' has been placed during the past two
years. : - ; -- j
A Berlin paper says that "the
Americans begin earnestly to think
sf the political and economical an
nexation of South America' An
other German newspaper says that
the suspicious doings of the Amer
icans in South America should be
watched carefully." The London
peace and give to the islands such
a government as will best conserve
the interests of the natives and pro
mote and insure the most speedy
development of the country.
The question of seating Repre
sentative Roberts, of Utah, has as
sumed acute form and become in
tensely national in cbarater. Con'
gress, wnicn is now in session, is
literally flooded with remonstrances
from all sections of the country
against his admission as a member
of the law making power. It is
held by a certain class that a man
who is a deliberate and persistent
violator of law is a dangerous and
unfit person to be clothed with the
sacred and responsible functions of
lawmaking. It . is asserted and
maintained by another class that a
man whose social and moral obliq
uity is a standing offense to public
opinion and in violation of the civ
ilization of the age, should not be
permitted to occupy a position
which would enable to sow the
seeds of a demoralizing and danger
ous heresy at the fountain head of
the government. Every advocate
tor the purity of the social system
has a reason why Mr. Roberts should
not be allowed a seat as a law makei,
and every reason is being pressed
before the members of the house
with all the vigor and energy char
aeteristio of an earnest and deter
mined American publio. Polygamy
is both a violation of law and mor
als, ana to the average citizen it
would be an anomaly and a travesty
on our system if a polygamist in
some other state than Utah were
convicted and sent to the penitenti
ary for this crime while Mr. Roberts
was complimented by an honorable
and lucrative position aB one of the

A Thanksgiving entertainment In
the Neil district waa enjoyed by par.
enta, pupils and teacher. Judging from
what the teacher says of tbe pupils,
there must be a very happy condition
of things in that distriot.
From data gathered In the schooU of
the county it ie evident that over three
thousand pupils in Jackson County
watch the "School Notes." Perhaps
we will say something directly to theeo
little men and women some day.
On tbe evening of December 22 there
will be an entertainment at the Browna
boro school bouse, for library purposes.
We have noticed with pleasure the
enterprise of the people In that vicinity
in variouB lines and we Believe tnero
will be a large house to greet tho pupils
on this occasion and enoourago them
In their laudable undertaking.
We were fortunate in being present
at the Thanksgiving exercises In No.
60. A nice program had boon arranged
and the pupils seemed to enjoy taking
part. Under the direction of skillful
teachers every pupil in tbe county will
soon be enjoying the good English of
standard authors and striving to im
prove their own use of tbe language.

sued by the Btate department of publio
instruction will not supply the officers
