ACase of War.

In case of war with. Spain, what
will become of politics? asks some
one. In that event politics will un-
2eubtedly sink into a secondary
place. There will be no Demo
Gratis, Republicans, Populists, or
otherwise, but a great compact
body of American patriots, loyal
only to the government and to the
flag. While there is not a true
American citizen living who wants
to see an unjust war waged there
is not one, who wants to see this
Government submit to wrong.
WA. is a serious thing, but not SO
lf:.ous as to see a great govern
ment sink under insult and deadly
injury into contempt. The Amer
lean people can afford to wait calm

curry now sitting to determine
whether the explosion which de-
stroyed the Maine was from with

Spain must settle. Thatis the way
the case stands. !

SPIRIT OF REBELLION
 INCREASING IN CHINA

Tacoma, Wash, June 5.-The steams hip Victoria brings Hong Kong advlces to May 12 The spirit of rebellion ard riot seems to pervade many parts of the Orient Five thousand robbers are assembled in one band in the mountains of Loyange, King Chow district, near Canton. They commit crimes of every description, plundering, robbing and killing as their fancy dictates The To- cal officers are terrorized and dare not cope with them.
 On April 26 small band of brigands att tackled the Yamen, of the magistrate of Cunning. They carried away valuables s worth 5000 and released the prisoners congned in the Yamen.
 Four Chinese marlr es were fatally burned by an explos on aboard a small Chinese gunboat which was practically blown up. The captain had cautioned his men net to smoke opium near the powder masa- zines This warning was disregarded.
 The rebellion in Formosa has been con- fined largely to the central and northern parts of the island. Now an uprising is expected near the southern erd, ca"s of the butchery of innocent countrym n and he bless women by Ja- anese soldiers in the Hosan district.

The Merrimac stood about mile west of the harbor and seem ed a bit mixed, turning completely around and finally heading to the east she ran down and then turned in. We were then chasing him, because I thought Hobson had lost his bearings. When Hobson was about 20 yards from the harbor the first gun was fired from the eastern bluff. We were then about a half mile from shore and nearing the batteries. The firing in creased rapidly. We steamed in slowly and lost sight of the Merrlmac in the smoke which the wind carried off shore. It hung heavily. Before Hobson could have blown up the Merimac the western bat teries picked us up and commenced firing. They shot wild however, and we only heard the shots. We ran in still closer to the shore and the gunners lost sight of us. TEen we heard the explosion of the torpedees on the Merrimae

in each consideration and each man hopes that this will help his cause. Teh ma jority of the senators still count on reach- ing the end of the session by the first of July and some place the date much earlier, but all admit that their opinions are mere conjecture. It is impossible ti speak in any wise definitely as to this matter until the Hawaiian question shall have had an airing and the war revenue bill shall be finally disposed of. In the meantime the progress of the war may raise other ques- tions. So far, however. as can be seen now, the present month ought to and prob- ably will witness the final adjournment.
 The war revenue bill, as it passed the senate will be presented to the house when it meets tomorrow. The desire of Chair man dingley and the majority of the ways and means committete is to send the bill to conference at once and not delay it by debate. In accordance with this desire the committete on rules probably will report immediately a rule identical with the reso- lution which MT. Dingley introduced last week to provide for a motion to disagree to the senate amendments and request conference. This motion will prevail with out debate and conferees will be named.
 At present there is aa u1dersta ng that the Hawaiian resolutions providing for annexation are to te considered in the house bsfore session adjournment. Just when and how the consideration shall pro- ceed has not been determined. large e. ment wants it to come immediately after the revenue bill is sent to conference and are anxious to have the matter dispos of pending the report of the revenue bill from conference Another element bel l'eved annxation should wlt until liter tfe reve- nue bill has passed so as to avoid all pos- sibility of compuicatng the situation.
 The aprrp iaton bills w.ll cupy the most attention. The conferees upon the sundry evil bill have reported an agree ment upon about four-fifths of the meas ure, but cannot agree upon the remainder without taking the sentiment of their re- spective houses and it. is probable that report setting tn ir agreements and differ ences will be made this week. Progress upon the Indian. postoffice and District of Columbia bills has ben made and they may be expected at any time from the confer ence

 WILL BE CONSIDERED By the Senate During the Pres
 ent Week. THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION May Come Up, But It Depends Largely Upon the Action of the House-Census Bill
 May Receive Attention if 0p-
 portunity Is Given.
THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION

Washington, June 5-The senate was so late getting through with the war revenue bill Saturday to prevent any consulta- tion looking to a programme for this week The only positive indications are that much of the time will be gwen to the arp o E priations which have been entirely neg lected since the revenue bill was faken There are three appI pIopriatons in conf IT, ence and all but ready to be presented to the senate on conference. These arethe sundry civil, the Indian and the postoffice bills. All present some differences between the houses and each of them will unques- tionably be made the basis of more or less debate. There are many items of general importance connected with the sundry civil bill and it may consume day or two of the senates time.
 The census bill will also receive atten- tion if opportunity is offered. It is gen. eral desire to provide for the taking of the next census before adjournirg for the ses- sion and the hope is expressed by the friends of the measure that the committee bill will be accepted without great q al of debate. The quarantine bill also occu- pies prominent place on the calendar and may be cons .dered.
 Whether the Hawaiian resolution will come up will depend largely on the ac- tion of the house. The general impression is that the Newland's annexation bill will be acted upon in the h use during the week but that the action will come in time for the senate to take up the same measure this week is doubted even by the best friends of Hawaii in that body. The op- moments of annexation still insist that there will be no serious ac ion by the senate during this session, but they agree that 1t will certainly come to the front agan. especially if the house acts. The prophecy that in that event they will be soon able to make it so evident that final action is out ofthe question that the friends of an- nexaion will thems Ives be will ng to sus- pend the contest until the short ses sion next winter.
 REVENUE BILL CONFERENCE.
 The conference on the revenue bill be- tween the two houses will be inaugurated during the week, but how long it will con- tinue or what the result will be there is as yet no indication. The senate conferees announce themselves as very determined to stand for most of the,r amendments and they profess to believe that the house will yield a majority on the ground that ths senate gave more attention to details than did the house. On the more important amendments such as those dealing with the bonds, 1.-the tea, the seigniorage and the inheritance tax to say nothing of many others inserted to please individual se--a- tors, differences are quite certain to arise.

Varying Testimony of Eyewilnesses

A group Of lawyers was discussing the
evidence In the Office OF The marshal Of
the Kansas City Court of Appeals last
week. One lawyer said it was strange
how three or four witnesses OF the same
thing would get on the witness stand In
court aud tell entirely different stories of
how 1t happened.
There's nothing remarkable in that. "
said another lawyer. "The five OF US
here may walk together down the street
and see two men fighting. We will stop
and listen to the quarrel and watch the
fight, and see one OF them kill the other,
and yet no two of Us will agree pre-
cisely in our stories Of it, and some of us
will differ widely on most mater ial
points"
"That reminds ne, said Judge Smith,
"of stiange experience of mire; one
that could not explain then and which

diatsIy drew his revolver and shot the
man with the knife dead. If had been
suppoenaed in the matter i would have
gone into court and sworn that l saw
the man draw knife and stab the other;
and yet those who stood close to the two
men testified that no knife was drawn or
used, and no knife was found. 1t was an
optical illusion OIL my part. and 1t goes

WHAT IS A MUGWUMP?

The New York Journal offered prize
for the best definition Of a MuRwump
The following reply took the prize:
A Mugwunp is like a ferry boat; no
wears out his life crossing from one side
to the other.
This is, undoubtedly, the best definition
thus far given Of Muswump although
he is by 1t only partially defined.
The St. Joseph Mo- Gazette says tru
men can bo ridiculed into blindly fol-
lowing party leaders. But the serious
draw back is that our honest Mugwumps
are decidedly In tho dark regarding the
practical principles Of government. Re-
mem Der now blindly the Mugwuinps fol-
lowed the lead of Grover Cleveland; fol-
lowed not through ridicule, but dazzled
ard led on by the glar, of glittering theo-
ries which could no more be reduced o
general gainful practices than man could
fly by attaching a pair OF eagles wings
to his shoulders.
The Mugwump seems to think that leg
islation should be enacted mostly for the
benefit of professors and Others with fat
salaries. The idea that business men
have any claims worthy of consideration.
or that wage earners have any rights to
employment. when the financial interest
O. professors and the fat sslaried is at
stake, seems never To enter his head In
fact, with brains 50 full of the mirage
of impractical unsubstantial theory, is
there any room for thoughts on the prac-
tical affairs of life, especially for the least
consideration OF the wage earner's well
fare or the business interests OF our far
mers, manufacturers and mintrsg
Under Mugwump influence are not these
matters SO all important made susssrvient
to the selflshness Of the well-to-do and
fat-sslaried Mugwumps who demand
cheap foreign fabrics at all hazards. Aye,
as abundantly shown in lsS3-97, although
by their free trade selflshnsss one million
brsad winners wsrs deprived OF employ
Incnt and ono half n illlon often faced
semi starvation.
We have no disposition to charge the
Mugwump with dishonesty any more than
we would acouss the old time monarchs
Of hypocrisy In proclaimipg their divine
right to rule and the duty of their sub
jects to obey. Tbs Mugwump also has a
capacious NAV for paying positions,
crossing from one sido Of the political
stream to the other to crafty his insStia-
bls hunger for Office.
Always deceiving because so largely de-
ceived 10y v,sl mary theories unsulipbtened
by practical knowledge. the Muawumps
are doomed TO cross and recross the river,
steering for any point where the honors
and smoiuments OF Office or political
ptluen CO may taxc passage on board
their terry.
