Debate In the House ON Annexation Of th'
Islands.
Washington. Dec. 0.--Debate on the
agricultural bill was signalled by the
ilrst speech in the house on the question
OF annexation Of the Philippines.
Williams Miss submitted a general
argument against their annexation. He
declared that he did not believe In bal
derdash. What had those who asked
loudly "whO would pull down the Ameri-
can flag" to say OF the flag that flOated
over the ramparts OF Monterey and the
cathedral OF Mexico.
II was hauled down becauseHt was pat.
riOtlc and sensible 10 haul II down. The
dag was a mere piece OF bunting aside
from what IL represented. The man who
would appeal to the prejudices OF the
people with the senseless cry about haul
ing down the flag, said something un-
worthy OF himself, no matter how high
his station might be. The American
people should haul down the flag In the
Philippines, he argued, and leave the
islands where they we're the day after
the glorious victory at Manila.

essarily be of the go | bad traits
of a man he never See, I'd in very
many cases never hears Of until after
the nominations are made Even il
the voter does personally know bis par
tvs candidate to be honest and wise
before the election, he cannot possibly
search the mans heart and know what
he will become before his term of office
expires. This being true as to the
the voters ignorance of one man, with
how much greater force must it apply
to his ignorance of the hundreds of
candidates nominated for legislative
offices? But the proposed law is al.
ways printed and it is the voters own
fault if he does not know what it is
and its probable effect.
1t is true, as said the Portland Ore.
gonian, August IS. 1897, (though the
paper is opposed of the Initiative and
referendum, commenting on the small
vote on recent proposed constitutional
amendment in Texas and Tennessee,
that those ''who will not inform them
selves on the merits of the desired
changes, either neglect to vote at all
or vote mo- to be on the safe side" In
Zurich, Switzerland, all voters are re-
quired by law to vote, and thousands
of blank ballots are cast at every cleo
ton, only because some voters will not
take the trouble to inform themselves.
Hence only those interested, vote.
They are the best posted, the ones
most fitted to decide. Hence there is
an easy and automatic selection from
the whole body of voters of those fitted
to decide
Finally, it is difficult to believe that
the citizens can never vote more ig-
norantly on any proposed law than the
senators and congressman did who
voted for the 10 per cent discriminat
ing clause in the Dingley bill, or the
president who signed it, none of then
knowing it was there.

A Sailors Lore Of Tennrson.

A correspondent to the Times, Lon
don, narrates the following incident,
as showing that Tennyson sang for
come whom we might forget to include
in our fellowship of sorrow. "One
moonlight night, when sailing some
years since, in the Malay Archipelago,
/ came on deck to find the ship In
charge of the mate, taciturn mariner,
uncouth and of unpromising Visage. A
chance remark, however, about the
beauty of the night brought line from
a well known stanZa of In Memoriam'
as reply. completed the verse with
undisguised pleasure, and this fairly
broke the ice Of his reserve. For the
rest OF that watch the mate paced up
and down the deck reciting to me the
greater part of the Idylls' and the first.
half of Maud. l shall never forget the
feeling with which he lifted out the
song Birds in the high Hall Garden" -
During the next week-'all in the blue,

Archipelago-the mate and talked to-
gether on the one subject, which had
kept him, he averred, from suicide by

he returned to London, remaining q

the meat store. Next he turned up in
Wagga Wagga, Australia, where he
married and where he started his i'm

borne, who had been lost at sea. Or
ton filed his claim to the baronetcy
in 1860 shortly after the death Of Sir
Alfred Tichborne, eleventh baronet Of
the house Of Tichborne. He had in
some way become possessed Of facts
which made 1t possible to pose in his
effort to get the property and the
knighthood. He brought his plea into
court and for 103 days in 1872 his
claims were argued, with some of the
best lawyers of London ON each side.
He lost and was Immediately put on
trial for perjury. This trial continued
for 1888 more days and cost about $780,
900. He was convicted and sent to
prison for fourteen years beginning
Feb. 2S, 1872. About three years ago he
wrote the story OF his fraud, giving
all the details of the plot which nearly
brought him rank and wealth. He

ness Resulted from his fourteen years
confinement in prison after the decision
Of the court, which established his
guilt as an imposter. He was sixty
four years old
Arthur Orion led life Of continued
adventure. His father was George Or
ton, shipping butcher of SO High street,
Mapping, London. He went to primary
school in East Smithfield, but at the
age OF fourteen was bound to Captain
George Brooks, who was sailing to
Valparaiso in a small brig in 1S48.
This proceeding did not suit him, and,
stealing one of the ships small boats,
he sculled himself ashore. The captain
offered a reward Of $40 for his cap
ture, and this was incentive enough
to cause betrayal Of his hiding place
by one Of his mates. He was taken
aboard and put in chains for time.
The ship touched at one Of the Kanak-
er islands. Young Orion again desert
ed. He was arrested and carried back
to the ship. He waited then until It
reached Valparaiso. This time his de-
gertion was successful, DR.. John Haley

fore it must always be elected or de-
feated by more than one-half of the
votes cast.
At the 1894 election in Oregon for
governor, the republican received for
ty-one thousand votes, populists, twen-
ty-seven thousand, democrats, seven
teen thousand, and the prohibitionists,
two thousand, total of eighty -seven
thousand. If the populists had bought
ten per cent Of the vote from the re-
publicans, the populists would have
been elected by plurality of more
than three thousand, and yet have had
eight thousand less than half the votes
cast.
Suppose at that election proposal
had been submitted to have the state
print and furnish all school books at
cost. Twenty-seven thousand popu-
lists, ten thousand democrats, two
thousand prohibitionists, and at least
fifteen thousand republicans could
have been safely counted on to vote
yes, a clear majority of twenty-one
thousand. The American Book Com
pany was the only concern that would
have been directly interested against
the change, and if that corporation
had bought one-tenth of all the votes
to vote against the law, land no more
are supposed to be for SALE, it would
still have been elected by majority of
thirty-six hundred, and the company
would have been out eighty-seVen
thousand dollars.
Now suppose the parties had been
represented in the legislature in pro-
portion to their votes, the State School
Book party would have had sixty-sev-
en- members and the Book Trust thirty
three. The Book Trust would have
needed only fourteen members for a
majority. Which would have been
easier, cheaper and safer for the Amer
lean Book Company with eighty-seven
thousand dollars to spend-to buy
eight thousand seven hundred votes at
the ballot box, or fourteen members of
the legislature? Under which plan is
money more likely to govern the peo-
pie by making their laws?
OBJECTION.-The people are too
ignorant to vote on the laws.
Answer The man who makes this
objection is always speaking of the
other people, not himself. Experience
proves that 1t is not true of those who
will vote. As a rule only those who
understand the question will vote,
while those who are ignorant will d.
ways vote no if they vote at all. 1t is
hardly possible that voter can remain
SO ignorant of the good and bad feat
ures of proposed law as ne must nee
