Philadelph1a's Great nj cnument.

The Quaker City is astir to-day with
the unvelling of her monument TO
Washington. The President will be
there. and SO will goodly body OF
regular troops. while the navy lends
the Texas to the occasion.
One very suggestive fact connected
with the creditable undertaking is the
Itypically deliberate and leisurely way
in which it has been carried out. Tho
erection of pedestal for the Bartholdi
statue IN New York harbor, and of a
mausoleum to Grant on the Riverside
Drive, seemed rather slow work at the
time; but these projects were carried
or at a breakneck speed compared
with the present memorial of the
Pennsylvania branch OF the Order of
the Cincinnati. which was resolved
upon as long as July 4. 1910. when a
committee, consisting of Major Lenox,
Major w. jackson, Judge Richard Pc
tiers, Mr.. Charles Biddle. and Mr..
Horace Binney, was appointed to col
lect subscriptions.
The first ten years produced about
$3.50 but, thanks TO the business
sagacity Of the custodian OF the funds,
MIR Binney, the subscriptions were SO
inves'ed, as fast as they were collect
ed. that by 1925 they amounted to
So. 100. Then the fact became mani
fest that, by patient waiting, the re-
mainder of the fund of $50, 900 orig
inally desired would collect itself; and
this policy seems TO have accorded
with the local temperament. For an
other half century Mr.. BiDney contin-
ued to care for the fund. and at his
death, in 1875. its accretions, If we do
not mistake. had brought it up to more
than Sl07, 900. Five years later it
had grown to $1S7 900, and, besides,
a new source OF increase came in col
lections OF $4,000 to be added to it.
The time, indeed. was then ripe for
building the monument; for already IN
1875 plans had been asked for 1t, and
by 1879 those of Prof Siemering of
Berlin had been accepted. The sue
ceeding eighteen years, devoted to
completing the monument without un-
due haste. have allowed the funds to
accumulate still further. and it is said
that il all they have reached about
quarter of million.
Thus this monument to the greatest
of Americans. erected in the adopted
home of Franklin, has its lesson not
only OF patriotism. but Of patience and
OF the cumulative capacity OF money
wisely invested. May happy skies
favor the unveiling ceremonies N

Hanna's OebacIe.

Your Uncle Hanna, they say. lies
heartsick in his Cleveland home.
Your Uncle Hanna reads the hand
writing on the wall. He is to be but
a ten-months' Senator. The Toledo
convention will indorse him. Foraker,
Kurtz. Mckisson, every foe your poor
old Uncle Hanna has is wildly in favor
OF Hanna's Endorsement. Wherefore:
They plan to witness your Uncle Han
na get chewed up; they would feed
him to the wolves of autumn's over
throw. They will make your Uncle
Hanna the Buckeye issue this fall.
The Democrats are to surely win in
any event; Foraker and his fellow
plotters see that already, and they will
take your poor Uncle Hanna and tie
him to the track with a Toledo nomi-
nation for the Senate, and then the
State at the polls will go over him like
a train of cars. Your Uncle Hanna
will be strung in fragments along the
right of way for more than a mile. 1t
will be the end-very nearly-of your
poor. fat. old. spider-like Uncle Hanna.
Hanna sees the Foraker plot. but he
can't avoid it. He must take his in-
dorsement, and later, when the polls
close, he must take his medicine of de-
feat. The next Buckeye Legislature
will be Democratic; the next Ohio
Senator will be Mclean. Your Uncle
Hanna, already slipping his hemlock
in anticipation, is the modern Socrates,
without that Grecian's calm philos-
ophy.
To make it worse, not only will your
Uncle Hanna be beaten. but he will go
down before a free silver platform.
Mclean has the Democracy of Ohio in
the hollow ofhis hand. He has driven
out BrIce aud pinioned that son of sin
gle tax and single gold standard, Tom
johnson. Mclean will have a plat
form with but one solitary plank-free
silver, 16 to l. And Mclean will rise
by 1t, and your Uncle Hanna will fall
before it. And speaking of free silver
at 16 to l. Senator Jones of Arkassas
spoke to me thereof the other day.
Il would risk much,n said Jones,

Nearly every day fresh evidence is
added to support our contention that
the Southern cotton mills are formid-
able competitors of the Northern
mills and the location of cotton
factories south of the Mason and
Dixon line will eventually drive the
mills OF the North out of existence
or force them into the manufacture
of linens and the finer grades of
cotton goods requiring the use of
sea island, long staple and Egyptian
c>tton. The Northern mill men are
alive to the seriousness of the situation
which confront them and have made
arrangements to temporary meet this
competition by reducing the wages
of their employees from the Presi-
dent down. 1t is only a question of
time when the South will become the
centre of the manufacture of cotton
as it is all ready the centre of cotton
raising, and as the Northern section
has prospered and fourished under
protective tariff, it logically follows
that the South will do the same.
The experiment is certainly we'll
worth trying and we trust that our
Senators and representatives in Con-
gress will succeed in au effolt to have
the Dingley law amended so as to
have raw cotton placed among the
dutiab]e articles.

AS TO LyNcEING.

A we'll established principle OF law
is that s:the law will excuse when 1t
cannot justify, and mitigate VIXEN 1t
cannot excuse, if the transaction has
proceeded from a proper motive and
the injury to the party is not greater
than he deserved" therefore we do
no violence to our deep rooted rever-
ence for law and order when we can
not condemn the people of the Price
vile community for taking the law
into their own hands and summarlly
dealing out merited justice to the mis-
creant who entered the sanstlty OF
tae home of one of their fellow cltl-
zens and attempted by brutal
strength to befoul the person of his
wife. nor do We wish to be considered
in these comments as defending those
men; they simply did their duty and
need no defense. We are opposed to
lynch law except in cases Of rape.
The protection of female virtue and
the putty and chastity Of our fire
sides ere the paramount duty of true
manhood and he who fails to promptly
respond to the pleading call of his
helpless loved ones whom God has
made dependant upon his strength
and courage in the hour Of their
peril, is an uumitigated bastard, an
arrant coward and the sooner he Is
blotted from the race OF men the
better it will be for law and society.
But the principle reason why we can
not condemn lynching in cases Of
this character is the horror of the
thought of subiectiug the innocent vic
tim of mau's depraved lust to the in
digpities and humiliation Of an open
trial. Is it not sufficient that she
should sutferin silence and retirement
of the privacy Of her own home, the
notifying knowledge that the sacred
ness of her person had been ruth
lessly assaulted by a brute in human
form? Why, then, subject her to the
further humiliation of being dragged
from her retirement and forced to
tell the story Of her misfortune and
Injury to a promiScuous crowd OF
unfeelipg listeners and scandal mon
gers whose love to gloat over the
misfortunes of others generally
lead them to gather in large num-
bers at the trial of cases Of this
kind? Why permit her to undergo
the trying ordeal of searching cross
e examination and oftentimes insulting
questions Of paid attorney! NJ?
The nearest tree and plow line should
be the fate OF all ravishers, whether
he be white or black, as soon as his
guiH is established. To the unknown
defenders of home we doff our hat
in respect! You did not act i'll &C.
cordance with the law of the land,
but you did with that of God and
nature.

Dear Children: 1t seems we arc
not going to have Christmas tree
this year, 50 1 have decided to write
YOU a letter on another line of
thought. You know that tits written
in the Book of books. "it is more
blessed to give than to receive" You
have been always receiving gifts, es.
pecially at the Christmas tide; but
all children are not so favored. Sup
pose we unite and send a box to the
children of our Orphan Home in Sa-
lem, Va, as other churches have
done. The papers say that the Or
phans need clothing and other
things" 1 know that there is not 2
child in the Sunday school that could
not donate an apron, dress, pair Of
warm stockings, handkerchief, soap,
towel, cap or gloves: 50 think Of your
comfortable and happy homes and
kind parents, and do not forget the
orphans.
Here is our plan: After today there
will be a box at Mr.. W. ?. Roofs
store for this purpose: and every
body who will contribute can carry
their articles there and hand to Miss
Nola, who will have charge of the
box, and will be pleased to see that
it goes in all right. If it cannot go
as a Christmas gift, let it be in time
for the New Year. But let US all
remember Gods wonderful gift to
US on the worlds first Christmas eve.
Hoping you may enjoy it, I ap-
pend a few stapzas that I wrote two
years ago for some little friends:
A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
Angels sing it,
Warblers wing it,
How there came a little child,
Shepherds tell it,
Winds reveal it,
How he came so meek and mild.
Murmuring brooklets,
Waving leaflets,
Tell of Jesus come to earth.
Dew-drops glistening,
Breezes whispering
OF the King with lowly birth.
Little children,
Let US love him,
Let us own this gracious King.
He has bought us
He has taught US,
Let all ealth his praises ring.
