Ell FRAILE
EN- F!LIPlNAS

Con la primera nave del primer
colono espanol, lego q Filipinas
el fraile
Trafa en- el cuello ell rosario de
cuentas de azabache 8 de cuen-
tas de orc; en- la diestra, Ia cruz:
la siniestra mano la llevaba cru
zada sobre el pecho como para
protestar sentimientos de amor y
carload .cuando no extendida

dora.
Sc dijo misa cotidianamente
en- ell fortfn que SO construyo.
Mas tarde, SO dijo misa tambien
en- las soledades de la llanura 8
en- la umblfa del bosque.
Era que el fraile, en- son de
predicador de la buena nueva,
hac1a compan1a al aventurero que
marchaba en- son de conquista.
Y amos pasaron, y una estrecha
faja del htoral de cada isla colo
nizada, SO sometio al dominic de
la espada y de la cruz.
La muchedumbre aborfgene
doblaba la serviz: alzaba el fraile
en- la diestra la imagen del cruel
fcado-
5Qu6 menos hacer pod1a por ell
po1tador de la celeste nueva ell
pobre salvaie de las.islas7
Pero llegaron, en- los pesados
buques de vela, los pesados i'm
puestos con que sobrecargaba al
pueblo conquistado la clviliza-
ci6n Y entonces el salvaje tu-
vo que hacer mas.
NO tuvo va solo que rendir
adoraci6n al Senor de las alturas
Y besar la mano q su ministro
hLbo de prosternarse ante el frai-
le, senor de la TERRA, y besarle Ia
mano.
Y el fraile tuvo desde enton-
ces intervention en- todo Y para
todo, mandando, dominando, exi
giendo, corrigiendo, castigando
creando 8 destruyendo, constituf
do en- supreme arbitro de los des
tinos de aquel aventurado colonc
europeo y de aquel ind1gena in

IT is apparent that this region is infested
with the worst specimens of the tramp and
vagabond The large number of depredations
and robberies committed nthis valley within
the past week or two, and which are appar-
emily on the increase should demand the
strict attention Of the Coal and Iron police
and the local force, 1t was thought the
captgt aud incarceration of the perpetrator,
of the Cambridge collcry robbery would
have a sAutary effect upon this class Of
criminAlsand prevent future robbcries. but
this does not appear to be the case. In fact,
the number seems to increase rather than
diminish and the authorities should show no
leniency toward any Of them when appre-
hended.

must be brought to the test Of this supreme
law. and is valid or invalid as it stands, or
fails to stand, that test writes eX-Prcsiacnt
Harrison in an article on "Tho Judicial
Department of the Government in the
December Ladies' Home Journal. The
Interpretation and enforcement Of the
National Constitution and laws could not, for
several obvious reasons, be left to the State
Courts Uniformity of Interpretation would
be impossible if the Supreme Appellate
Courts of the states could, each for itself and
finally for tho people Of the particular state,
construe the National Constitution and laws.
And especially questions affecting the con
nicting powers Of state and of the National
Government could not be left to the decision
Of the State Court. If the powers given to
the National Government were to be main
tanned and uniformly and beneficially exer-
cised it was essential that the final judicial
determination Of the scope and limits of these
powers should be confided TO National Courts.
1t would not have done in 1861 to submit the
question of the right Of state to secede
from the Union to the Supreme Court Of
South Carolina.

" one may judge from the course Of the
Philadelphia papers-eIceptng none-in the
Senatorial contest it is fair to assume that they
are anything but friendly toward the Ameri-
can workman. This is made plain by the
aforesaid editors refusal u include in their
accounts of the meeting of the United Mine
Workers on Friday last, the resolutions con-
demnatory of Hon. John Wanamaker because
Of his violation of the contract labor law.
This discrimination is made more glarinR
when the fact is cited that these self-assumed
independent and fearless journals seize every
opportunity to make mention Of every cross
roads business (?) club that endorsed Wana-
maker by resolutions. This is proof con.
elusive that the metropolitan press is mimic
al to the American workingman, and that
the latter must look to the rural press for
any support they may desire in the further.
ance of the cause for which they are banded
together 1t would be interesting, indeed, t.
learn why our Philadelphia contemporaries
who boast of their independence in the
publication of news matter, deem it advisable
and polite to eliminate the resolutions re-
ferred to.

BRYAN ON The ELECTION.
"Temporary Defeat but Permanent Coin
for the Cause"

for the cause
NEW YORK, Dec lin the December
number of the North American Review
Mr.. Bryan has an article in which he dis
cusses the result of the election ms affect
ing the status of the silver question. The
issue on which the election turned he de-
scribes 'as the greatest issue ever sub
mitted TO the American people in time of
peace" The declaration of the Chicago
convention in favor of the free coinage of
silver forced upon the people Of this coun-
try u study of the money question i'm gem
eral, and within the last four months
more people have been simultaneously en-
gagged in its consideration than ever before
in the history of the world The result Of
this study Mr.. Bryan declares to be tenn
porary defoat but permanent gain for the
cause"
Mr.. Bryan regards it as a significant
fact that the silver sentiment was strong
est where the question had been longest
consideredi that is to say, in the west and
south. In Mr.. Bryan's opinion the cause
Of bimetallism made more rapid progress
than any cause ever made in such short
time. He expresses his assurance that the
election can be by no means regarded as a
conclusive settlement of the question at

convinced, he says, that they are laboring
in behalf Of large majority of the people,
not only here, but throughout the world
and they propose to continue their con-
test confident that four more years Of ex-
perience win convince many who have
thus far resisted argument.
This confidence, Mr. Bryan says, is CON
lrmed by the history Of recent elections.
Mr.. Greely was defeated in 1872, and yet
Mr.. Tilden was elected in 1876 Mr. Blaine
was defeated in 1884, but Mr.. Harrison
was elected in 1888 The Republican vic
tory of 1888 was followed by the Demo-
cratic victory of 1890 and the election of
President Cleveland two years later.
Mr., Bryan counsels the successful party
to remember that thousands of Republic
cans have been held to their party this year
by the pledge that it will try to secure i'm
ternational bimetallism.
In regard to the gold standard Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan is assured that they can
not do as much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their atfec-
ton for Democratic principles, while they
spared no effort to secure the success of
the opposing ticket. They cannot" he
says, disguise themselves again.
