Chicago Times-Herald. In Kentucky the people registered the most significant protest against boos ism and gang methods ever recorded In the annals of state politics. AH other Issues were subordinate to the clear-cut and well-defined Issue of "Goebelism." The efforts of Mr. Bryan to divert pop' ular attention from the high-handed frauds that were prepetrated by the Ooebel machine !n the Louisville con vention were without avail. His rear platform spellbinding tour could not dissuade tha Kentucky Democrats from their determination to avenge the out rages that were committed to secure the nomination of Goebel. The regular democratic nominee stood fir Quayism of the most offensive type in state politics. He was not the choice of the Kentucky democracy. His pollt leal career was tatooed with corruption. His nomination was accomplished by unseating regularly accredited, dele gates and substituting for them his hired scullions. The democracy of the "old school" bolted the ticket. The republicans un der the leadership of Taylor were unit ed and harmonious. Goebelism was re- buked and the Kentucky democracy ag redeemed from boesism. result while prowvutlng n war on the enmUyed?

I-a.t tVtoUr the deficit of the month was IlLKM.' This year th.-re is a surplu fr Octo ber of .;.ie. The first surplus stm war preparations begmi appeared tavt Marvh and was followed by a surplus of over $.0OO.iW in May and June. The first month of the present flana! yvar. July, showed a'dVnVU of $S.S0.SK. but August. September and Oe toiler wipe that out with a margin of over! $3,000,000, SI nee January I last there! have been five months with a surplus and four with a deficit. -October calls for htevy pension payment, but the welcome monthly surplus Is reported as has be usual of late. Unless some thine; unforeseen happens there will be a handsome surplus at the end of the fiscal year. Before the war the annual expenses of the government were about J3T3.00 000, exclusive of the Poet Office Depart merit, which .xtmes within a few mil Uons of paying its way. Revenue now is coming In at the rate of 5a.000,000 a year, Including about Illfl.WO.OO from the war taes, which, like the Dingley tariff, have yielded more than the est I mate. Thse results are due to a hgh degree of prosperity, and the prosper' Ity istdue to the Intelligent work of the republican administration and the con fidence it inspires. The new Congress, republican In both branches, will begin its labors without the leant misgiving as to revenue. It is refreshing to find democratic papers urging a reduction In taxes. When they had a democratic administration on their hands deficits piled up steadily, and bonds were sold largely to meet current expenses hi time of peace. Now, In time of wax, there Is more than enough revenue, but a different party Is on deck. OCR MERCHANT MARINE. i THE RECONSTRUCTION. The Insurrection In the Philippines Is practically over. Our troops no longer face an opposing army: they are only chasing the fleeing leaders. Congress will soon meet and will decide as to our future relationship with the Islands. It is certain that we will retain the Philippines giving to the several islands the form of govern ment best adapted to their Individual conditions. It will very probably be found the difficulties In governing 'thoee far-away possessions hve been overestimated. Tlie Filipinos are not warriors and they love an easy life. They are treacherous, but not deliberately so they are childishly, Irresponsibly way ward. They can be controlled easily if controlled rightly. Aside from the soldier police and thej number of uniforms on the streets there Is no more In Manila to sugg-st war than there is In Astoria. Ameri cans, foreigners and Filipinos go about the streets without thought of danger and all on the most friendly terms. This will be the condition all over Luzon soon after we establish civil government there and the people learn our purposes. The "robber bands" will not long be very troublesome when the Inhabitants realize that our army is there to pro- San Francisco Call. From the Portland Oregonlan comes a curious argument against leglsla tion In the direction of upbuilding an American merchant marine. It says: 'Several San Francisco shipowner were fortunate enough to have steamers available for the transport service, and the charter rates paid for these steam er by the government have Invaria bly been higher than the rates paid foreign steamers for the same service. As the people as a whole will foot the bills for these transports, it will be teen that the burden will rest more lightly on them had every ship In the service been under a foreign flag." By reason of the lack of legislation to encourage shipbuilding at home and to put our mercl.ant narine on an equal footing with that of other nations, the United States, when the Spanish war broke out. found !t Impossible to ob tain enough American steamers to transport troops to the seat of war, and had to charter furign ships. In that fao: the Oregonlan finds a reason for not building American ships in the fu ture. To must Americans the fact will b'; a reason why we should build them. It is not of advantage to any nation to be dependent upon foreigners In time "jf war, even though such depen dence might be a little cheaper than In dependence. But the Oregonlan Is wrong in argu. Ing that reliance upon foreign vessels is economical. Had the United States possessed a merchant marine In any way adequate to Its commercial rank. It would not have had to pay such high prices as It did for transports. Great Britain has been liberal In granting subsidies to shipping, and a a result of her wisdom she was able a soon ! as President Kruger Issued his ultlma i turn, which meant war, to at ot.ee ob- itect their lives and property. The sufferers can then be depended upon to the "wv" ot e'Bhtr nr-clasa furnish needed Information. j " transport troop to South The .natives have their long estab- Afria' She "blalnf'3 milch llshed customs that munt not be too'chwW "ht ':"m haW! d"n had rudely disturbed.

Edde Mi Duff! added another worlJs record to his lis today, going one-half mile In 40 2 seconds, motor-paced. from the heavens a .aln di-s. There were so many w l-ns.s to Ml of the stnuige iHTUrr.-nce that there could be no doubt of the .tccurney of the story. Some mo whs elapstl before the re markable phenom?inn was explained. It was learned at List that some far mers ri.r the northern oat of Mo rocco had been thrashing wheat with Halls when suddenly a tornado swept over the ground and carried all the what and chaff on the threshing cloth Into the air. The clcith was swept clean, though the wind storm w,s not sufficiently violent to do any damage to the workmen, who Ml to the ground and saw to tlxir dis may that th- result of their labor hail disappeared In the air. There smixl to be no doubt that the fall of wh-at Ui Spain was the shabby trick the tornado pluved the .MoriniaJi far mers, the iai:i ha. ing b"ii wufied ct-ar acro. the Mi-dlterraiKun before it wis drepp'd to the earth. A somewhat similar phenomenon hasTecently b-n ob.TVil further eujt of the Mediterranean region. A steam er was on hi r way along the North African coast from Asia to England and had entered the ilnllta channel between the island of that name and the coast of Tunis, wh.-n a fine d'Jst began to darken the air and Immedi ately thereafter fell upon the vessel's deck. Quantities of the dust w.re col lected and later submitted to a chem- Ileal analysis In Europe. About a th'rl of the dust consisted f rock particles containing calcium, magm-slum and Iron, proving, what the prevailing wind had already Indicated, that the dust had been carried high In the air from the Sahara desert, paswUig over the whole of Tunis and finally dropping Into the Mediterranean. Another curious occurrence of the same sort occurred In Hungary In lHStf. when there was a full of dust which analysis proved to be identical with the sediment of the Nile. The dust was declared to have been brought on the wings of the wind all the way from Egypt. These Incidents show how the atmosphere helps to change the aspeet of the earth's surface by removing small particles of matter from one re gion and depositing them In another. tlon f K W ?iB'H IVTr. a rt -C-.
