A COMPARISON.

A naval Chaplain is before a court
public lecture wherein he permitted his
enthusiasm forhis ship to get the better
Of judgment and good sense. in making
comparisons. But assuming him to be
guilty Of such indiscretion, what is his
offense compared with that of clergy
man over whom military laws have no
power, and who cannot be punished for
his shameful assault upon a gallant
officer of the nation?

sailed General Miles, calling him a
pompous dude, without experience of
warfare, who was too cowardly to go
to the front, and detailed other Cen
erals to do his fighting for him, while
he posed as conquering hero.
The Rev. Lafferty went on to say
that how Miles grew to be commander
Of the army no one knew; that the
army records make no disclosures con-
corning him; books Of valor make no
mention Of him: and of bullets and
bayonets he is ignorant; that Miles is
on no page telling of wounds received

life or limb for his country; and so it
is added, there is at the head of the
army an officer without military ed

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.

Senor Trujillo expresses the fear that
the United States will accomplish the
annexation of Cuba without giving the
people of that island full opportunity
to demonstrate their capacity for self
government and the stable establish
ment of a civil system.
Let the distinguished editor restrain
his fears. Nothing of that kind will
happen. We believe that annexation
will eventually be the fate OF Cuba;
that the trend of opinion in that direc-
ton among the Cubans will be all pow
erful, and at no very far distant date.
But the honor Of the Government OF
the United States is solemnly pledged
to free Cuba, to secure there the estab-
lishment of a stable government, doing
justice among the people and conserv-
ing the arts of peace; and that the war
for Cuban independence was not COM
menced as war of conquest, SO far as
Cuban soil was concerned.
To that the Government will stand.
But we are Of those who believe that
the Cubans could never have conquered
their own independence. From what
the war has revealed we are now con-
vinced, though once of different opin-
ion, that the Cuban insurgents never
could have driven out the Spanish arms
or have unseated them from their
strongholds Nor is it proba BILE that
within any few years the Spanish could
nave entirely suppressed the insurrec-
ton. But it is certain that eventually
the Cubans will confess that however
capable they may believe the popula-
ton of Cuba to be in the matter of self
government, there will be no perfect
assurance of peace and development,
but that annexation to the United
States with local government subject
to ours will be wiser for Cuba, more
helpful and an assurance of all that
is desirable
When that expression is made. as il
certainly will be, the obligations of this
Government will be released and an
nexation may honorably be accomplish
ed. So, too, after fair opportunity is
given to the Cubans-and by that is
meant all who have their homes in
Cuba and citizenship thereto estab-
lish stable government, and failure
is the result, annexation may be hon
orably had without consulting the peo-
pie. But in any case Senior Tru1illo is
needlessiy dfsturbed-Cuba will have
full opportunity to prove her ability to
stand alone. The American Govern
ment will not stand before the world
as pledge breaker

The representative women of to-day
are not those in the workshop or the
office. They are found among the max
ers of homes who have so adjusted their
duties as to possess time and have the
inclination to give to the world a share
of the riches Of mind and heart, made
possible by the discipline and true edu-
cation Of the home. Take women out of
the industrial circles, says the mono
graphist, and put them into the atmo-
sphere Of culture, and we interpose to

Under such a condition the scholastic
life will be longer, the mind will be
expanded, discomfort will be relegated
to the background, and living become
an increasing joy and privilege. Wo-
man will then be healthier, the seden-

Dancing and Politics Make UP a

A correspondent writing from Bruce

"On the last day of September at
Brucevflle the first gun of the Popu-

The doors Of William Bradford's big
packing house were thrown open TO the
many happy couples who arrived to
trip the light fantastic toe to the mu-

There were number of candidates
present, among them being Morris
Brooke, Bruce Knott, and last, but not
least, Billy Lamphrey Billy surely
captured the Populist stronghold, as
Bruceville is generally called. The can
didates sandwiched their speeches in

filed to overfiowing, and all seemed to
enjoy themselves greatly.

There is common complaint that in
cases Of street collisions the guilty
party frequently refuses to stop and
be identified or to render assistance
to those he has run down. In New
York they have met this difficulty by
enacting that it shall be an offense to
fail to stop. The law reads:
If any accident or injury shall hap
pen to any person or any carriage, vehi-
Gle, or other thing, by reason of COM
ing in contact with any public cart,
or other cart, or vehicle, or the horse
or horses attached thereto, or anything
loaded thereon, while the same is NOV
ing, it shall be the duty Of the person
driving, or having charge Of the same,
to Immediately stop, and, If necessary,
render his assistance, and to give his
name and residence, and to give the
number Of the cart or other vehicle
he was driving, and the name and res
idence of the owner thereof under pen
atty of 500, to be recovered from the
driver or owner of such cart or vehicle.
That is a reasonable ordinance and
it ought to be the law in all communi-
ties

Not SO many years ago DR.. Lueger,

clared that he would smash the Jews

spent much money in machinery and

or the amazing lying of this reverend
editor makes his assault ridiculous, and
excite pity for so contemplate soul
as inhabits the body of Lafferty. Either
he spoke out of lust for falsehood, or
he Is shamefully ignorant of the his
tory of his country, namely, that Gen
eral Miles entered the Army of the
Potomac as a Lieutenant, and in four
years time fought his way to the rank
of Major General; that he was four
times wounded in the war of the re-
bellion; that he fought thirty five bat
ties of the war; in fact, was in every
great one except that Of Gettysburg,
and he was not there because at the
time he was near deaths door from a
serious wound received in battle.
But besides the thirtyfve great
battles. General Miles was in more than
100 other engagements, and prosecuted
six Indian campaigns after the Civil
War. Yet this religious editor describes
Miles as a General who never sn1elt
powder. It is a pity that poor McIn-
tyre for indiscreet language should be
tried while such ignoramuses and as

It is mistake to suppose that with
need for the aid associations formed

there remains a. broad field for their
activity still. The men in arms and far

though there may be no more fighting.
Their families and those dependent up
on them left behind must not be neg
lected and forgotten. Pride may seal
the lips of many a suffering one, but
patriotism should hunt them out and
guard them against want. There are
thousands of men who will return in
