[ New York .Sun.| No harm is to be apprehended from the presence in Washington of Felipe Agoncillo and Sixto Lope/, as the accredited representatives of Gninaldo's Government, and there is a prospect of good coming from it. The very fact that they are here gives support to their assertion that the insurgents regard America as their best friend, and that "The coming of Admiral Dewey was the greatest day in the history of the Phillipiue Islands." What Agoncillio says of the desires of his countrymen is also simple and natural. They desire first independence; but "if the United States is not willing to accord us that,'* then secondly, an American protectorate; thirdly, annexation to the United States as a colony; fourthly, annexation to Great Britain. The third alternative is the one they can fairly expect, that instead of being a colony thej* will be a territory of the United States, which is still better. Iu fact, that third alternative is the best in every way, as they soon see. Hawaii chose it after several years of experience in autonomy. It insures the very freedom which the Filipinos covet, together with being part of a great, glorious aud prosperous nation. Two other things are noticeable in what Agoncillo has said. One is a virtual admission that our country is to settle the future of the Philippines. The other, that the one thing the insurgents iusist on is that they shall "uever be given back to the coutrol of Spain. That Guaranteed to us, we will willingly lay own our anna and accept what the American Government believes in justice should be accorded to us." If Auginaldo correctly represents his fellow-insurgents on the island of Lu/on, we need not be worried much over the trouble they will give us. We have no idea of putting them back under the yoke of Spain. The Vilu* of Fresh Air. Underwear and Blankets. Cull at the Racket for tho goods.

Spirit:—Several express and buggy loads of ladies and a few gentlemen to help them out, of the Presbyterian church of Big Run, took it into their kind hearts to visit their pastor, the Rev. R. M. Coulter and family, of Adrian, last Friday, Sept. 20th. They arrived about 11 a. m., and were gladly welcomed to the hospitable home of the minister and given the freedom thereof ss if there own. They availed themselves of it and prepared a most sumptuous dinner, which they had broughtalong. After "the feast of fat things," from pickles to pumpkin pie, and every other good thing of the season, with jest and laughter to season the serions moods, a time of social enjoyment pasted. A little tour was then taken to view the church and town and hospital and works, so far as time permitted and then the happy folk took up their journey homeward. The pastor expected a visit, but hardly so many. But all were very welcome and he would have been glad to have welcomed others prevented from coming by home duties. He did not expect larder and store house to be left well tilled with vegetables, groceries, etc. This was a surprise, too, although he should have known from the reputation of Big Run folk, that they would not come empty handed. Pastor and family are thankftil for every material comfort received and yet they prize still more the spirit that prompted the kindness and the associations and enoouragements of the visit. They wish every joy to the Big Run folk, every one, every day. Pastor. I lit lbs Fine Granulate!

We are better prepared with SUITS, OVERCOATS, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, AND FURNISHING GOODS EVERY SEASON. TRUNKS, Township High School Suggested. En SpiritBy the erection of a line, new school building at Anita, I am led to believo that the old school building between Anita and Adrian will be left unused and possibly abandoned or sold for little or nothing. Its location is pleasant and healthful and possibly sufficiently central. Its condition could be made sufficiently good for its use as a township high school. 8uch use is possible and would seem to be advisable. Many scholars too far advanced for home schools are unable to get places in the Punxy High School. They oonld attend at this building. The project will meet the approval, I believe, of the coun-1 ty superintendent, Professor Teitrick. Many ' of oar people are restless because of undergraduate school facilities. Why would not this method secure advantages so important and yet lacking? Why may not our board of education take favorable action on this project and so bring our township up to a better standing and efficiency in school work, confessedly of the greatest importance to every interest of church and home and State ? Inquires. [London Hospital.] Lick. The admitted advantage of an outdoor life in many morbid conditions, and notably in consumption seems to point to the conclusion that there is something definitely injurious in the indoor life which is now the common mode of existence among civilized people. It is a striking and startling thing that the mere removal of a patient into the open air should lower his fever, should remove his night sweats, and take away his hectic flush, and it is difficult to avoid the , conclusion that if these symptoms are removed by the air outside, they must have been largely caused by the impurity of the air within the house. Nor have we any right to assume that it is the consumptive who suffers. Doubtless the healthy struggle against and to overcome evil influences before which those who are tuberculous succumb, but that is not to say that in the struggle we do not suffer, and indeed, the facts recently brought forward are sufficient to show that the stuffy life of warmth and comfort which civilized man bow "enjoys" is bad for the health even of the healthiest. We make our windows fit, we pad our doors, we shiver at a draught, we surround ourselves with woolen curtains, dusty carpets and fluffy.luxurous upholstery; we breathe the same air over ana over again and then we wonder that we are not strong and vigorous The fact is that we are daily using up the exuberant vitality with which nature has provided tis in struggling against artificial conditions. How powerful for evil, how deteriorating these conditions are, is shown by the fact that their mere removal gives back to the consumptive that vitality which enables him to overcome the seeds of disease within him. Fresh air is not a thing to be taken in doses once a day, but a thing to live on. Ixrw KalM lo Omaha and Return. Yen, lots of them, all les, all qualities, at le very lowest prices.

Choate and Seth Low among the speakers at the Republican ratification meeting in Carnegie Hall to-morrow night will be a sign of the anbstantial unanimity with which the Republican party of New York enters upon thia campaign. Whatever may be the divisions or the oppositions among the New York Repufclicans on local or State policies or questions of the organization and management of the parts, it is one and undivided in support of the Administration, of the great national policy and principles of Republicanism, of the broad and brave Americanism which Theodore Roosevelt illustrates so brilliantly in peace and in war.
