to check this cussedness?

Secretary Algor's Defense.

1t would be difficult to imagine q,
more Indecent speech than that which
Secretary Alger made at the lunch
given him ut Jacksonville, Fla. Re.
ferring In scurrilous manner to the
criticisms that his conduct of the Wai
Department had called out, he said
WIS not directed against the Secretary
of Wars IL is against the glorious vic
tory of the American troops, tho brave
deeds Of our men, and their achieve
ments, which are the marvel Of the
age. Again, / have to say that have
no apology to make TO any man, and l
am ready TO answer for my part con-
1ucted in the war;" Secretary Alger
knows and none knows better, that not
u little OF the denunciation which his
official conduct has aroused have come
from the American troops themselves,
The cry of "ro h with Algerl" was
an army and not newspaper cry.
The American people believe that the
army has done its duty, and more than
its duty, under the most disadvantage
GUS circumstances; that the War De-
partment, instead Of assisting in the.
prosecution Of our struggle with Spain,
has thrown such impediments as It
could in the way OF our troops, and
that the victories we have won have
been the result Of Americon valor and
determination triumphing oyer official
obstruction and incapacity. 1t is all
very we'll for Secretary Alger to an
nounce his readiness TO answer for his
conduct OF the war, but what the
American people note is that he takes
care that the president appoints upon
an investigating commission men who
are his warm personal friends, and
who, in advance of making any in
quiry, have announced that they be-
lieve that he is all right, and are per-
fectly sure that no facts can be brought
forward which will make them change
their minds When one considers that
the man to be chiefly investigated is
Secretary Alger, the appointment
upon the commission to investigate
Misunderstanding the highly responsible
position of chairman-of one or more
of his warm supporters and friends is a
proceeding little better than scandal

When the record is made up it will
appear Tint there has been more work
done for given amount of money in
the state during the past two years
than during any two years in the his
tory OF the state There is more Ia
show for the expenditure of money
than has ever been shown in the past.
The contracts have been let honestly
and good work las been required and
given. This is in marked contrast to
the result shown by the last set Of
state officers whose record in this mat
ter is well understood by the people.

forming glass tableware trust have
been arranged. A charter is to be Sc

has been placed Mt 5000, 900. Twenty

been completed q central selling

that this could not be done.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.
ITS WORKINGS AND ADVAN-
TAGES BRIEFLY OUTLINED.
A. Present, Where Laws do not Please

Change tho Law MakcrSi tho People
Cannot Change tho Laws,

Direct legislation: Law.making BY

The initiative; The proposal Of {
law by the petition OF n percentage o

Direct legislation Ia n method in pol.
itical practice. Its application to thu
defects Of our present system Of law
making and Acknowledgement is en-
gaging the attention OF thinking men,
Among those who did decide the
problems OF the future are the young
men and women Of the Christian En-
deavor societies. How far they will b
helpless or helpful, powerless or pow
erful, in gaining right conditions Of
government depends upon tho adop-

execution.

"The remedy Of the public, II 1t does
not like Il, Is TO turn me out at the
end Of my term"
The last quotation, from Theadore
Roosevelt, president Of the board OF
police commissioners of New Yorl,
city, ~ well as the first serves me
with n text upon which to build a
brief argument for "direct legisla-
ton"
We consider, and rightly, that the
vast majority Of our people are the
most moral and law.abiding in the civ
llized world, and they would make
short work of traitorous and perjured
officials II they had not Invested them
selves Of the legal powers to do so.
1t is all right to say, "Elect good
mem" ATTEND your primaries;" Gre
ate a healthy public opinion;" "Un-
ceasing vigilence Is the price," etc.
A democracy should more easily meet
the needs Of the people and the idea
is gaining ground that the system
which makes futile the efforts Of mil
lions in our cities and towns to obtain
for themselves the boon of good gov
ernment is radically defective.
Mr.. Roosvelt's lat the end Of my
term" is awfully suggestive. The
term" is fixed. For good or evil, the
work can 90 ON. How seldom for good!
How often for evil; for plumber, for
party advantage, for non-enforcement
of law, for class aggrandizement, for
corporation and monopoly advantage,
for the profit Of saloondom and the
houses of prostitution! What remedy
have we in our present systemP One
that will compel halt? Nonel
Look at our laws. They are filled
with absurdites and contradictions,
They are warped by self-interest, col
ored by craftsmanship, and weakened
by desires to concliate the gucriIlas OF
our political warfare, the liquor, cor
porate and monopoly interests. Con-
slider also the righteous and necessary
laws that constantly fail to pass, ow-
ing to the preventative Influence OF the
lobby and the threat Of political re-
tirement from the houses All you can
do is to 'turn me out at the end Of my
term;" and you fail to do that nine

tions; and If you happen to succeed

How MOrgan's Buccaneers Fought
Their Way Into the Cuban City.


Their Way Into the Cuban City.
In the April st. Nicholas Mr.. Frank r.
Stockton continues his series of narrative
| sketches of "The Buccaneers of Our
Coast" Mr.. Stockton thus describes the
capture of the Cuban city, Port au Prince.
by Morgan and his buccaneers.
When the fleet arrived at the nearest
harbor Morgan landed his men and march
ed toward the town, but he did not sue
coed in making a secret attack, as he had
hoped. A Spanish prisoner had let him
self drop overheard, and, swimming
ashore, had warned the Governor of the
attack. Thus prepared this able COM
mander marched body of soldiers along
the road by which the pirates must come
and when he found a suitable spot he
built formidable barricade. Behind his
his soldiers were posted with their mus
kets and their cannon.
But when Morgan came within sight of
this barrioade, he considered that 1t would
be entirely unnecessary to attempt to dis
turb this admirable defense, so he march
ed his men into the woods, led them en-
llrely around the barricade, and came out
upon a wide plain before the town.
Here he found that he would have TO
hight his way into the city, and probably
much to his surprise his men were pre-
sently charged by body of cavalry.
The pirates routed the horsemen. and
after fight Of about four hours, took
possession of the town. Here they can
tured a great many prisoners, whom they
! shut up in the churches, and then sent de-
tachments out into the country to look
for those who had run away. Then thes..

usual course after capturing a town: they
pillaged, Toasted and rioted Even when
the poor citizens seemed to have given
up everything they owned, they were told
that II they did not pay two heavy ran
SONS they would be carried away into
slavery, and that their town would be
burned
FOR two weeks the pirates waited for the
unfortunate people TO go out into the conn
try and find some Of their fellow citizens
who had escaped with pordon of then
treasure In those days people did no,
keep their wealth in banks as they 90
now, but every man was the custodian of
most OF his own possessions and when
they fled from the visitation of an enenn1y
they took with them everything of value
that they could carry. Before the citi-
zens returned Morgan made a discovery
q negro was taken who was CARRYING Ter
tiers from the Governor of Santta9o
helghboring city, to some of the citizens
or Port au Prince, telling them not TO
be in too great a hurry to pay the ran-
SON. because he was coming with
strong force to their assistance. When
Morgan read the letters he change bfs
mind and thought 1t would be a wise
thing not TO stay in that region any longer
than could be helped. SO he decided NOT
10 wait for the unfortunate citizens to COL
lect the heavy ransom he demanded but
told them that If they would furnish him
with 900 head of cattle, and also supnlv
salt and help prepare the meat for shin
ment, he would make no further demands
upon them This, of course the citizens
sailed away.
