THE INEVITABLE SEQUENCE.
One of the surest as well as one
of the most satisfactory evidences
of returned prosperity is the gen
eral advance in wages. The in
crease is not confined to any one
section of the country or to any
one branch of industry. From the
New England States, from Penn
sylvania, Illinois, New York, Michi
gan, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama
and other States comes the same
story of advancing wages. Cotton
operatives, iron and steel workers,
miners, employees of tin plate
companies and other classes of
workmen all have profited from an
advance of wages. The commer
cial agencies estimate that the ad
vances already reported affect fully
175,000 workers.
During the last campaign, Pre
sident McKinley said in one of his
speeches that what the country
wanted was not open mints but
open mills for the employment of
American labor. That was what
he proposed to see accomplished
if he were elected. That is what
has been accomplished, thanks to
the prompt measures taken by the
President to secure the American
market to American producers by
the re-enactment of a Protective
Tariff law. American mills have
been opened and American labor
employed, and now comes the in
evitable sequence of an increase
of wages. And, as the WBges of
partial free-trade become more and
more repaired under protection,
wages will probably advance more
and more, until they reach high
water mark in all industries.
American workmen will not be
likely to consent to any repetition
of the folly of 1892 which resulted
in the paralysis of American in
dustries and in the idleness of the
American people. American Econ
omist. Government revenues for March
are estimated at $45,000,000, which
is probably enough to meet all ex
penditures. Such a condition at
the winding up of a war is in the
highest degree creditable to the
party in power.
The Baker City Evening Re
publican on last Saturday issued
1000 extra copies of their edition
containing an article about their
mining distriots, together with
statistics by F. E. Mellis, a recog
nized authority.
Toe latest news from General
Otis is decidedly satisfactory. His
active campaign against Agninaldo
and his repeated victories have re
suited in breaking the backbone o
the Philippine revolt, and every
thing now points to a speedy end
ing of the fighting, and the capture
of Aguinaldo is hoped for. Ad
miral Dewey has notified the navy
department of the arrival in Manila
bay of the battleship Oregon, in
splendid fighting condition.
Majou Demeritt, a member o
of the staff of General Otis, is in
Washington on sick leave. As he
came direct from Manila, his opin
ion is entitled to weight lie said
"Nobody who has ever seen the
Philippines could ever be in favor
of surrendering them. I am satis
tied that it is to the best interests
of this country to keep them, for
their resources are varied and val
uable, and they will eventually be
a source of large profit. It is not
going to take a very great while to
completely reduoe the insurgent
Filipinos to subjection. The more
enlightened and well-to-do class
of mixed Spanish blood are quite
willing that this government should
establish its sovereignty."

How the Boys Are Getting Along With the
Insurgents.
By the Associated Press.
New Yobk, March 28. Dispatches
from Manila to the Journal today report
that Filipino prisoners have informed
the Americans that Aguinaldo would
make a last grand stand at Malolos, and
it defeated would make no farther re
sistance. Washington, March 28. The follow
ing has been received from General Otis:
"There was severe fighting yesterday
afternoon beyond Marialo. A brilliant
charge by the South Dakotas, led by
Frost, against the famed troops of Agnin
aldo, brought from Malolos. The enemy
was repulsed with great slanghter.
bmaii gunboBts are in Unlaoan river
where great execution was done yester
day. They will relieve the pressure on
MaoArtbur's front materially. Troops
are in excellent oondition and spirits.''

to the Herald from Manila says: Tbe
insurgent capital has been moved from
Malolos to San Fernando, Tbe insur
gents burned Bulioan Tuesday afternoon,
Tbe monitor Monadnook shelled Los

Washington, Maroh 28. A list pre
pared in tbe office of the adjutant gen

aiooe February 4th to be 157 killed and
864 wounded.
Manila, March 26.-8:15 a, m.
Twenty-six dead and 150 wounded in
the hospital is the latest statement of
tbe American losses in the engagement
with tbe Filipinos. Today's fighting
furnished a specimen of the difficulties
with whiob tbe American's have to oon-
tend. The Philippines never. exoeDt at
Malabon, permitted their opponents to
get within several hundred yards of
ibem. Tbey would fire a few volleys
Horn their cover and then souttle back
to another oover, repeating these laotics
for miles. Many of tbe trenches had
goDies and oonneoting paths through
oane and brush, enabling them to re
treat unseen.
The problem tbe Americans have to
faoe is to drive or lure tbe insurgents to
ght In foroe. The treoohes eeem thinly
manned, exoepl in tbe vicinity of Mala
bon. Tbe Amerioans, fighting a hidden
foe, suffered a greater loss in proportion
than did the enemy. The loss of tha
Filipinos had formerly been estimated
from a number of bodies found soattered
in tbe swamp and through the brush.
A larger percentage of the enemy's
wounded died than of tbe Americans,
many of tbem perishing from negleot,
tbe Americans attending to their own
men first. Tbe wounded, after trat.
ment in field hospitals, were brought
to the hospitals, by train. Several trips
were made from Oaloooan to tbe city.
The first load to start for tbe. oity was
composed largely of bandaged soldiers
who shouted, "Give tbem hell, boy si"
Tbe gunboat Helena and two army
boats command Malabon, but the
authorities desire to avoid smashing the
town wbere there is muoh valuable pro
perty belonging to foreigners and where
there are looated the warehouses of
moat of the Manila firms.

OLDEST WOMAN IN JACKSON COUNTY.
Mrs. Mary Simons, of Bine Springs, Missouri,
Is 103 Years Old.
Councilman J. R. Simons furnishes tbe
Gazette with a oopy of Tbe Oak Grove
Banner, a Jaokson oonnty, Missouri,
journal, containing the following inter
esting history of bis mother, of whom he
has so often spoken, living, bale Bnd
hearty, with her daughter at Blue
Springs:
"Without tbe least possible doubt. Sin-a-bar
townshipcontaioa tbe oldest woman
in Jaokeon county. Sbe resides at Blue
Springs and her name ia Mrs. Mary Si
mons. She was born in Ureenbriar
oounty, Virginia, January 23, 1796. Her
maiden name was Chapman. Wben 19
years of age she was united in marriage
to James Simons, a soldier in tbe war of
1812. Mr. Simons reoeived injuries in
that war of which be afterward died, and
bis widow, though moderately young,
never married again. She was tbe
mother of 13 obildren, and now, aooord
ing to tbe latest advices, she has 40
great-grandchildren living and whole
herds of grandohildren.
"The government pays Mrs. Simons a
pension of $12 a month on aooonnt of tbe
death of her son, D. O. Simons, a oorpo
ral in the Union army, who was killed
near Ooose Neok, PUtte county, Mi
ouri, daring tbe Civil war, and she
walks to the bank every mooth to get
ber money.
"Mrs. Simons was three years old wben
General Washington died, bat of course
she baa no personal reoolleotion of bim,
but she aava sbe remembers hearing her
father and mother speak uf him fre
quently. Like most old people ber mem
ory of things that happened years ago ie
better than those of more recent ooour
reuoe. Sbe never bad but one bad siok
spell in her life, and that was last Janu
ary, when she was taken down with the
la grippe.
"The old lady keeps herself constant
ly employed. She rises every morning
at 5 o'clock, and rain or ebice she sel
dom breaks this rale. She often assists
ia preparing the meals and is also very
bandy with tbe needle. Muoh of her
time is devoted to fanoy work. On the
28th of last November sbe began to cut
oat blocks for a quill, and on December
20th tha qailt was fluished. She did it
all herself and every stitch was by band.
Sbe detests sewing machines and does
all her sewing by hand. Wben sbe was
a oentury old aha knit a fine bed-spread
which ia as nice aaoould be made by any
lady in Sin a bar township.
"Mrs. Simons baa smoked tobacoo for
83 years Sbe began wben sbe was 10
yean old. She acquired tbe habit bv
lighting ber grandfather's (ipe. Her
parent were natives of Viiginia. Al
ready Mrs. Simons is preparing to plant
garden and ia anxious for the nice
weather to oome so b con take some
oat-door exercise. She resides with her
daughter, lira. James H. Mausey, who is
also a very old lady. lining the oldest
person in Sin-a bar townnhip, Mrs. Si
mons is entitled to free subscription to
tbe Banner one year, as per our offer of
month ago. It is to be hoped that she
lives several years yet aad be ill to see

Htani)-Tax Decision.
The commissioners of internal reve
nue has recently made a new ruling in
regard to the stamping of bonds given
for the payment of money, end secured
by mortgage. Heretofore he has held
latii sucn Donas snouia ne treated as
promissory notes, for tbe purpose of
taxation, and stamped at the rate of 2
oenls for eaob $100, or fraction thereof.
This ruling has been reversed, and such
bonds will hereafter be stamped 50 cents
each, without regard to tbe amount. A
new rnling has also been made in re
gard to bonds of exeootore, guardians,
administrators, receivers appointed by
courts, and bonds required in legal pro
ceedings. For a time It was held that
all suob documents were taxable. Re

that they are not liable to taxation uo-
