Every true American heart
should throb with sympathy at this
time for Mexico at the mention OF
the days September 18th and 10th,
which are the same TO Mexicans a.
July 4th is to Americans. These
are Mexico's two greatest holidays.
President Diaz was born on sep
tember 18th at II o'clock at night
and one hour later september
| lGth) was the birthday Of indie
pendent Mexico. 1t is no wonder
therefore that the Mexicans love
these two holidays, which represent
80 much to them. On the night Of
September 9Th at exactly I o'clock
from every city, town, hill and dale
over the great Republic, one mighty
shout issues from a million free
mems throats, "Niya Mexico"
viva Ell Presidente!'
IN Mexico the day is celebrated
with great splendor. Nearly a
quarter Of a million Of people take
part in the festivities aud the scene
rivals anything ever presented on
the American Continent.
On the day preceding the P'esi-
dents birthday il is customary TO
hold the unrivalled Battle Of
Flowers" Long before the sun
begins to peep over the bills there
can be seen thousands Of Indians
vending their way TO the city,
bringing with them large supplies
of rarest and choicest flowers.
Houses are decorated in the great
est profusion, and the public build
ings aud statues show practical
evidence Of the great fertility and
richness Of the soil. II is one Of
the days when every one has a free
license. The rich and the poor
mingle and pelt one another with
flowers in the most democratic
manner.
This ia followed by two days
given up TO most extrayagant cele-
brations, conducted with pomp and
eclat never witnessed in our Dem
ocratic Republic. They also have
their Liberty Bell" which has d
history equaling ours and not leas
among the ceremonies is the ring
ing Of this bell.

WHY SPARE THE wINEa
Whenever the United States

Whenever the United States is
to launch new battle ship, In
connection with the usual custom
ary christening ceremony, the ".
/ G. T. U. makes itself most con-
/ spicuous in its protestation of the
time honored employment of
champagne. The good sisters,
now that the battlcship Illinois is
soon to he launched, have again
/ become prominent in their pro-
testation. They want the chris
tening to be made with pure wa
ter and petitioned the governor
of Illinois accordingly. The fol-
lowing is Governor Tanners re-
ply, and a sensible and very dig
nified paper it is, as follows:
ITO Mrs. Matilda b. Carse, Jes-
sic Brown Hilton. Helen Lord,
Room 1119, The Temple, Chlca-
90, I'll: | have the honor to ack-
nowledge the receipt of your let
/ ter of the goth, instant. Replying
to which I viii say that it is with
pleasure / pay my highest res
poets to the noble women of your
union and acknowledge with pro-
found appreciation the excellent
good you are laboring to estab-
lish.
4 would consider it a privi-
ieoe to he able to assist you.
Thousands of homes are better for
pour guardianship, thousands of
hearts are grateful to you for yonr
Christian aid and the world and
the world is better for having
known the Woman's Christian
Temperance union.
''In the matter, however, of
following the time-honored Gus
tom of christening battleships
there is no desceratisn of the laws
of temperance. The ceremony is
not one from which any evil could
possibly be set forth, and the
most sacred religious ordinance,
the sacrament the world COM
memorates with deepest solemni-
ty and honor, is one in which wine
is used as a symbol.
Therefore, | dismiss the sub
iect as one unworthy of SO much
agitation. If left to me the bat
tleship Illinois will be christened
according to the time-honored
custom. Very truly yours,
JOHN X. TANNER.

CLARKs BURNING WORDS.
rlissouri Congressman's Denunciation
of AIger. Republican Incom-
potency is Called a Foul Blot
That VIII Not Out.

potency is Called Foul Blot
That VIII Not Out.
Champ Clark, the brilliant Mis-
souri, congressman, addressed an
immense audience at & picnic near
Rush Hill, Mo-, the other day.
| After an elaborate discussion of
| the economic questions Non which
the parties divide and giving a
| history of the legislation leading
up to war, he said:
"Our soldiers AMI sailors have
spread the fame of our prowess
in arms to the uttermost parts of
the earth. The story of American
valor by land and sea will endure
so long as the love of martial fame
finds lodgment in the human
heart. And the story of the utter
incompetency of our republican
war department officials will en-
dure equally as long.
THAT is the foul blot on this
glorious page of our history, which
like the damned spot on the hand
of Lady Macbeth, will not out.
All the perfumes of Araby, the
blest. can not sweeten Alger and
his gang of fayorite jobbers so as
to be grateful to the nostrils of the
American people. All the white
wash in Christendom will not suf-
flee to conceal the disgraceful fac t
that, with an overfowing treasu-
ry, through the grossest incompe-
tency, or something worse, our
brave soldiers were starved like
so many rats in holes and the sick
and wounded heroes left to perish
in poorly provided hospitals for
want OF proper medicines.
Congress was generous-nay
truly say lavish--in its approprla-
tions to carry on the war Every
dollar was voted and voted cheer
fully, that anybody SAID was ne
cessary to carry the war to q
speedy and successful conclusion
and we would have voted ten times
more if the departments had de-
clared it necessary for we all
thought that there was nothing
too good for the brave and patrlo-
tic young men who were going
forth to battle for the glory OF
the republic, and to ayenge the
dastardly murder of 266 of oul
oaiIorc while they were SleeDino
peacefully in their hammocks,
dreaming of their wives and chill
dren. of home and native land.
1.-The manner in which this
generosity of the American pee
pie, as expressed by congress, has
been bruta!ly abused is attested By
Gen. Miles, commander of the
American army; by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, by numberless officers
of every grade and of every shade
of political opinion, by the voice
less graves of the soldiers who
died for want of proper food and
medicine, and by the lean ane
shriyeled wrecks of stalwart lads
Enow returning to their homes al
over the land.
ssThe American people, like cha
rity, are long suffering and kind
but as sure as God reigns In heav
an they will demand stern retribu
ton upon those who have penetra
| ted this great wrong.
