Do We Love Liberty or Not?

Are there three emotions that have a
stronger hold upon the American people
than love of liberty, enthusiasm for
heroism and hatred of tyranny?
Unquestionably no, you will answer.
Then how do you explain this an
omaly?
At our very doors, practically within
sight of the American people, there has
been and is going forward a war for
liberty than which none braver or firmer
or more desperate was ever fought. In
that war a patriot general, with a
courage and skill greater than that of the
hero generals of ancient Greece, has held
his own in a strip of territory thirty-stx
miles square for ten months with a
handful of men against an army of fifty
thousand trained soldiers. In that war
there has been an exhibition of hdeous
! tyranny unapproached in modern times
| 400, 900 men, women and children slowly
starved to death by deliberate plan, al
though they were guiltless of oflense.
Yet, in face of the apparent faQs
about the temper of the American people
and of the undisputed and indlsputable
ldSto dpouI Nuod' lic pohtiNiHhS III
charge of this government deem it posi-
bic and even eXpedent to snap theiI
fingers at liberty, turn their backs upon
heroism and shrug their shoulders al
murderous tyranny.
How do you explain it? Are the
politicians right in Judging the Ameri
can people? Or are the American peo
pie really the lovers of liberty, the ad
mirers of heroism, the haters of tyranny
that they pretend 10 be?
1t is an interesting question, is it not

WALKER TOOK WIFE'S
GOLD.

A little over year ago Mrs. John
Harkiss missed from time to time sev
er4l articles of jewelry and some trink
cts. She suspected her servant girl,
who had always been trusted implicit
ly. A watch was set on her, but Doth-
ing wrong was detected, though the
thefts continued. Finally last fall the
servant was dismissed. About two
nonths ago another servant was en-
ployed. As soon as the weather began
to have touch of spring about it the
thieving again commenced. Mrs. Har
kiss, in telling her troubles to neigh
Dor not long ago, got an idea that, put
iuto execution, solved the mystery.
She set about to watch her husband,
and one night last week the mystery
was unraveled. Mr.. Harkiss, while
fast asleep, got up from his bed, dress
ed himself, and taking q small article,
made his way downstairs, unbolted the
door and started of toward Bigham'.5
woods. Mrs. Harkiss's brother, whv
lives with her, was sent after the sleep
walker and followed him down steep
embankment and over a fence, which
the somnambuiist scaled in an easy
manner, to an old pile of logs and un-
derbrush in the woods, where Harkiss
hid the article he had taken. The
brother in-law marked the place aud
followed the man back. The next day
ali the missing articles for over year
back were found under the logs.

A MAJORITY ARE INFIDELs.-R V.
DR.. Henry Il. Brann, rector of St.
Agnes Roman Catholic Church, New
York, who in his sermon week ago
declared that the United States was
not Christian nation, the majority OF
the citizens being practically inidels:
quoted statistics Sunday last to prove
ne truth of his assertion. "The situa-
ton is a grave one" said Father Brann.
"Of the 70,000,0O0 people in the United
Statec but 20,000,000 are church COM
municants according to the last census;
of the 200OO,000 there are 100000
Roman Catholics. How can we call
ourselves Christian nation when con.
ironted by these figures? Apart from
the Roman Catholics there are only
about Is 600, 900 practical Christians out
