the location of the still. The still was
located 126 yards below a spring. more
than 600 yards from the church. A

in existence long before the church was
built, and is travelled by pedestrians
alone as a "short cut" TO various points.

still until after it was destroyed, and

Senator Tcllcr's free silver vagaries IN which
he NJ Least Of all men is perfectly sincere have
moi impaired his sturdy Amcrlcanism nor
swcrved him from the sound and longcstab-
llshcd policy Of the Nation IN matters relating
TO the Nations sovereignty and destiny. His
uttcranccs Of Monday on the Hawaiian ques-
ton were worthy Of himself ut his best estate,
ana worthy Of those statesmen who, through
four generations. have laid deep the founda-
tons and builded broad and firm The super
structure Of the Republic
The keynote Of his argument was faith; faith
in the Republic and It's Constitution. faith in
this Government "of the people, for the peo-
pie by the people" faith triumphant over fears.
He believes The Fathers Of tho Constitution We're
wise and right IN establishing tho National
policy of territorial extension. He believes
their SUCCESSORS have been right in maintaining
that policy. and that they are right In doing 50
today He does not believe that the act which,
after half n century Of contemplation and half
a decade of practical discussion and invest ga
ton. the Administration. the great ma iorty Of
both houses OF Congress and the overwhelming
majority Of the American people deliberately
favor Is foolish or unlawful He does not be-
lievc that the step which the foremost military
and naval authorities Of the Nation urge as Of
the highest importance 10 our security IS cal
culatcd to impcri the safety Of the Nation He
believes that the National genius which sue
cessfully manages the affairs Of seventy mill
ion people IL equal 10 the management Of seven
~ thousand more.
That Is the true spirit. Faith Is ms essential
in statocraft rs in religion. The man who does
not believe In his country Is not APT 10 be a

saying I'VE are a nation Of hclOs" Is apt 10
decline toward n state of hclotry The nation
that has no faith in Itself In It's integrity Of

"TU QUOQUE," GERMANY

The German Emperor, we are told Is much
annoyed at the tone Of part of the American
and British press, which often with insulting
comment persists in disappointing his atfi-
tude toward the United States and Spain in
the present war. His Majesty personally, In
his speech from the throne and his Govern
ment officially. in the utterances Of the For
eign Office. have given the strongest assn
ances Of neutrality and Of benevolent dis
position toward the United States as well as
toward Spain. In view Of that fact the studied
and persistent attempts Of n part of our press
10 picture Germany as trcacherous and unfriend-
~ toward this country are seriously annoying
and the Emperor's patience with them Is sorcy
taxed. Such are the representations made by
"a member Of His Majesty's encourage" with
we assume, the sanction and probably at the
suggestion of His Majesty himself
1t is an utterance that Americans should take
seriously to heart. for that its complaints are
well founded is unhappily only too true. The
treatment Of the Emperor by considerable
portion OF the American press has been scan
dalous. He Is monarch. of course; but Ger
many. one Of the greatest and most enlightened
nations In the world, believes in monarchs
He believes in the divine right Of kings and
do the majority of Germans. He has made
mistakes. no doubt; and Is properly TO be crit
iclsed. But withal he has shown himself TO be
a strong and not unwise ruler and for his own
intrinsic qualities worthy OF the respectful re-
