To Walk Through London.

The largest city of the world is
London, lying in four counties and
having a population Of 4,250, 900,
equaling the combined populations
of Paris, Berlin, Saint Petersburg
and Rome. To walk through all the
streets, avenues, lanes and alleys of
the city, never traversihg the same
ones twice, would require ten-mile
walk every day for niue years. The
streets, placed in row, would
reach around the world, and leave a
remnant that would reach from
London to San Francisco. April

Peter Smith, who had been
familiar and rather noted char
acter about this county for a
number of years, died Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, after a
very brief illness. Deceased was
about 40 years of age, and it is
understood that two brothers and
one sister reside in lower Michigan.
The funeral was held from the
residence of Samuel McKindles,

would soon know how to get aboard.
The lady, going to the ticket office
and putting down her money, said:
"Maryhill, single. " Her ticket was
duly handed to her, and she walked
off. Pat, thinking it all right,
planked down his money and
shouted, Patrick Murphy, married. y

American manufactures will prove
wonderfully civilizing agents.
But more important than even the
change in trade will be the destruc-
ton of the power of the religious or
ders These have kept the people of
the Philippines, as it were, in mental
letters of iron. No one who has Wis.,
tied the Islands, or any other Spanish
provinces ruled on the principles of
the middle ages, but has been struck
with this. The salaries paid to the
grandees of the church out of the pub
lie funds have been enormous, and
then the church has large revenues OF
her own from estates and a still larg-
er revenue has been squeezed out OF
private generosity and private fears.
That dark, gloomy, medieval super
stition will be removed now forever,
and the light of modern freedom of
thought in such matters will be al
lowed to awaken among the Islands.
So strong has been the power of the
religious bodies in the Philippines that
not place of worship Of any other
denomination could be raised, and the
people were made to regard those
from the outside as perhaps a little
worse than heathens.
There is a strong difference between
the liberal Catholicism of the United
States and the medieval intolerance
of this old colony of old Spain. 1t is
system which has survived three
hundred years after it had received
its death blow in Europe, and mer
emancipated their minds from vi
cious thraldom. The Roman Catholics
of the States are among our best citi
zens, loyal to their country and proud
of its free institutions. They have
nothing in common with the dark
sinuous, willy Dominicans and Fran
ciscans of the Philippines and ada
cent islands. These will flee before
the light of modernism and remove
one more blot from the face of tn,
world.

Among the things that a political
organization here should set to work
and fight, in fact what all political
organizations should join together to
fight, is the proposal made by the Call
that all California lepers should be
shipped down here. We have quite
enough to do to attend to our own
troubles without having those of Cal
ifornia thrust upon us. OF course one
can see through the object of the Call.
1t is simply desire of being as mas
ty as it can be, in view of the fact that
it was beaten on its annexation cam
paign. Any means by which it can
do injury to these Islands it is will
ling to father and abet, and to make
this the dumping ground of all the
lepers in the United States, and thus
give an i'll name to the group, is just
into its hands. However no such ne
farious scheme will carry. But what
ever We may think of the ultimate
lack of success, it is a scheme that
every section of the community
should denounce in no measured
terms, and should bring to the notice
of the three members of Congress at
present on the Islands.

A PITY.
world.

There does not seem much to say
in excuse for the conduct of certain
members of the United States volun-
teers yesterday. The only thing that
strikes one is that evil is growing,
and that where twenty men were en-
gagged in looting gardens, five times
that number engaged in that amuse-
ment. 1t does not speak well for those
in charge of these men that they say
they cannot be prevented from behav-
ing in this manner, and that it is i'm
any particular individuals. If men
can be kept in proper check during all
the license of war, where large bodies
are in the field, and where stragglers
are unavoidably many, they certainly
ought to be held in check where theil
numbers are few and where there
need be very few stragglers.
Some thouands of United States
troops have passed through Honolu
lu. Men from California, Utah, Ne
braska, Colorado, Pennsylvania, anG
a large body of regulars. The citi
zens have learned to respect and adj
mire the soldiers, for all these meT
have had the freedom of the city ant
have never abused it in the slightes
degree. OF course of the regiment
stationed here by no means a major
ity behave as the men did yesterday
but it is pity that a few unruly
members should sully the excellent
record which has been made by Sc
many thousands of our "boys in blue.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1898.

The Samoan Islands have always
caused more or less trouble, protecto-
rates are always unsatisfactory and
a joint protectorate is the most un-
satisfactory of all. There is always
jealousy and friction between the pro-
tecting powers, and even if the gov
ernments do not take much interest,
their representatives manage to work
up pleasant little squabbles of their
own which cause much i'll feeling
The Hawaiian Islands may be thank
full that they were mercifully spared
protectorate.

COMING LIGHT.

The war will give wonderful slim
illus to trade. The Philippines have
been practically locked up from the
commerce of the world, the Spanish
trade restrictions have been so exact
ing and so veXatious. Whatever may
be the political fate of the Islands,
the terms of peace will stipulate for
freedom of trade and the abolishing
of all the petty eXactions with which
Spanish prejudice and ignorance ham
pers trade with the outside world.
This will give a market made mp OF
some 100000, who will gradually be-
come purchasers of American goods.
Depend upon it that the American
sewing machine, American cloth and

What is the matter with the Morn
ing Grandmother; a few weeks ago
it informed its readers that the regu-
lars of the United States army We're
composed of drunkards and ne'er do
wells, and was very properly called
down by The Star. Today it is prais-
ing the regulars and abusing the vol
unteers. The Morning Grandmother
should take an extra cup of tea and
clear her aged brain. There may be
some scamps in the regulars, and
there certainly are some among the
volunteers, but both organizations

There is one section of the globe
that takes a grim satisfaction in the
defeat of the Spanish, and that is the
Jews. The chosen people have in the
past suffered frightfully from Span
ish intolerance and cruelty. 1t was
not only in the United States that the
prayers of the Jews were raised, but
in synagogues all over the world a
prayer was recently offered in Jeru-
salem, in Hebrew, by the congrega-
ton of the House of Jacob" at a spe-
cial service at the "Wall of Wailing,''
which in reference to the Spanish
commenced, "Avenge the blood of thy
servants, which has been shed by a
cruel nation and crush thine enemies
forever"

1t has never been noticed here that
the first and last great acts of the war
fell to the same man. Dewey's ileet
opened the ball at Cavite on May lst
and destroyed the Spanish fleet in the
Pacific; among the last shots fred
were those from his ships on August
18th, when he bombarded and destroy
ed the Notifications around Manila,
the day after peace was signed. 1t
seldom falls to one man to play in
two such dramatic incidents, at the
beginning and at the end of one OF
the most dramatic of wars.
