"FIRSr CAST THE BEAM OUT OF
THINE OWN EVE"

1t were amusing to hear the organ OF
newspapers on the respect due to the
Office of President of the United States,
keeping a straight face the while, were
it not for the nauseating hypocrisy of
it all.
We remember how respectfully the
same organ used to refer to the last
Democratic President; how, when not
blackguarding him like a fishmonger
and impugning his character, motives,
honesty and patriotism, it used to term
him 1.-The stuffed prophet" and play
fully refer to him as putting on his
collar over his head.
The respect of the partisan of Four
teenth street for the Office of President
of the United States depends altogether
on what political party the President
belongs to.
Its impudence in attempting to criti-
ciZe honest newspapers that never re-
fer to the President but in respectful
language is no less insulting to the in
telligence of its readers than it is dis
gushing in its hypocrisy.
The organ may, however. he simply
under a hallucination. for it is we'll
known that paretic sees as the most
prominent characteristic OF others his
own besettipg sin.

AS TO AN ANGLOAMERlCAN ALI
ANCE

AS TO AN ANGLO- MEhiCAN ALI
ANCE.
In a cable dispatch Michael Davitt is
thus quoted on the subject of an Anglo
American alliance:
The present worked-up sentiment for
an alliance is due to the higher English
classes, who are not honestly friendly to
America, ably assisted by certain pro-
British newspapers in New York City
THE English people do not realize that
the New York papers speak only for
small fragment of the American people
and do not represent the vast body OF
opinion west of the Alleghenies
when the Maine was blown up the eX-
pressed opinion in fashionable clubs in
London was 1t served the Yankees right
and the Saturday Review said later, 1t
is a contest between a scalaWag and
gentleman. and the scalawag will win
But as soon as the United States began
TO win. England having trouble in China
with Russia at the time, went in with the
winner.
THE story of the coalition of the pow
ers against the United States, which Eng
land smashed, was a trumped-up lie to
serve the purpose, dIIl IDS pVCii e"USioi
itatively denied by three of the powers
alleged to have been hostile to the United
States.
England now desires to force the pres
ent friendly feeling into an actual alliance
to serve her own selfish purposes. She
wants to use the United States in case
she quarrels with France, Germany or
Russia but my prediction is America will
not permit herself to be so used.
Americans certainly do not have to
be told these things by people on the
other side of the Atlantic. Most
Americans of common sense perfectly
understand the animuS of England in
seeking an alliance with this country
and that it is not from pure love OF
the United States or even from an
honest desire on England's part to
gain mutual benefit. The British lion
is always looking for the lions share
and when brute force will not
avail to obtain it English statesman
ship relies on hypocrisy and deceit.
The entire political history of England
il in harmony with this policy Of COM
bined craft and brute force. By such
means has England built her present
vast empire which rests on nothing
but bayonets. more i'll mated pair
to run in double harness could not be
imagined than Imperial, Military,
Aristocratic Britain and Democratic
America.

washington. and the re1ponsQp4lity -
longs to Mckinley and his cabinet.
Senator Gray thinks the treaty win be
confirmed by the Senate, because not to
confirm 1t would be to leave the situa-
ton in chaos. After the Senate has con-
firmed the treaty he favors either the Civ
ing back of the Philippines to Spain under
proper guarantees or absolute independ-
ence for the people of the archipelago.
THE Senator makes no secret of his firm
conviction that annexation of the Philip
pines means the abandonment of the path
of national safety and the beginning ~of
an era of ill-considered and adventurous
policy, dominated by vac vieds and brute
force" n
And for this policy no one can be
held responsible but the administra-
ton, for it directed by cable from
Washington every move the Commits
sion made, allowing that body little,
or no, discretion in its action.
When Mr.. McKinley's peace commits
sioners, themselves, thus fail to agree
On the policy of annexation maybe it
will not be too much to suggest that
other American citizens, who do not
subscribe to the un-American scheme
of the administration, or those who
control it, may after all not be traitors
to their country and Spanish sympa-
thizers' For they number among
them such men as Senators Hoar and
Edmunds, Andrew Carnegie, Hon. A.
w. Campbell ex-editor of the blgoted
Wheeling organ. ct al-all Republicans

A BORN. DRUNKARD.

Harvey Dunston was examined in probate court yesterday for insanity and was committed to the asylum He was brought in from Tempe the day before and is the most depraved can didate for the asylum lately offered by this county He seems to be insane upon only one subject alcoholism His talk even about that was not in coherent He said he had been drink ing whisky since he was 12 years old. He is now 29 and he hopes to be spared many years longer in order that he may have time to drink more whisky, for which he believes he is set apart by providence. He never made an ef- fort to quit the habit, he never in- tends to do so, and would resent any outside interference tending to lessen 1 his desire for strong drink. He has been assisted along the downward road by the excessive use of cigar cites. Dustin's predilection for alco- hol may have had its origin in the restraint imposed by the laws of Kan sas, where he was born and which he was compelled to leave a year ago by reason of the uncertainty about the
 regular. satisfaction of his appetite Probably if he had lived under differ ent laws he wouldn't have 1Onged so much after the nearly unattainable l and it might not have become mania Still this is not good argument against sumptuary legislation. Dun- stin was no doubt born to be a drunk ard

OUR MERCHANT CRUISERS.

It should be made clear that the immense merchant cruisers now be-
 ing utilized by the government are experiments for war purposes. They have never been tried in any battle, and they represent type of fighting vessel which no nation really builds to make over into certainly strong element of it's naval equipment. They are to go as reserve tonnage, for scout ing or long-distance, runs, or they are to be armed only as last resort. The fact that they have such great propor- tions, combined with so thin sides noses and sterns, should not be for gotten. Then, to add to ones curi- osity concerning their fitness for bat
 tie, it must be remembered that the officer who commands will be aware of his dependence on steam power, to- gether with his lack of deck and side protection. If he is obliged to slow down in sight of a foe, the rain of shot may soon place his great ship,
 one of the largest in the world and the
 largest which ever fought a battle
 hOrs du combat. The fitting out oi these vessels Is truly extraordinary spectacle and a magnificent attempt to test a theory. The great question is whether the navy department fully appreciates the peculiar strength and weakness of such craft. It is impera tive that these qualities should bt clearly discriminated at Washing gton
 or otherwise some of the finest mer chant vessels in the world may be
 sacrificed without recompense of any | sort
