An Arbitrary Fee.

Victor Smith tells this story in the
New York Press: my father was al
old time lawyer. He tried a little case
for his bootmaker and entered on the
books a charge Of SIS, the price of a new
pair OF boots. When the latter was de-
livered, the accompanying bill was $50.
A man of any other profession would
have taken offense at the apparent effort
to ''do'' him, but the lawyer smilingly
raised his fee to $40, and Mr.. Smart
.Aleck Bootmaker had to pay. That was
III arbitrary fee. Doctors sometimes en-
Joy the privileges of it,"

Tho Fight at NIalate.


1t seems not unlikely that the real object
OF the Spaniards in a~ssaulting our lines
around Manila, OF the night OF July 81, was
to delay the surrender Of the tow until after
the conclusion o fpeace. 1t wouldIbe a person
al triumph for Captain General AUausTTN to
hold Manila to the end against our arms, and
to give 1t up only by the orders Of his Govern
ment, az one OF the prescribed conditions OF
peace and it Is also possible that Madrid
may have sent him instructions to do this,
II he could, for moral effect In the discus
sion of the commissioners over the future
OF the Philippines.
Certainly 1t cannot fail to be noted that
tho Spaniards did not Immediately resent
the displacing Of AGUINAIDo's forces by
our own, several days before, In a part OF
the trenches before Manila, nor even our
thrusting forward Of the line, at one point,
30 as to take in an old chapel and the
rising ground on which 1t was placed. Not
until the new breastworks had been
under construction for two or three days
was there any attack, at least in force; and
as we were then much better prepared than
before to resist 1t, the suspicion is raised
that instructions regarding what was con-
templated or going on here, and Of the need
Of a vigorous defence OF Manila, may mean
while lave come.
1t Is clear that the Spaniards were aided
in their sortie from Malate, a suburb Of
Manila, by striking a gap in the siege line,
caused by the advance of our troops, already
spoken OF, and by the failure OF the insur-
gents to hold a swampy space on our right,
oNuarai NV n hon,hNN o.l eo--l --o-Al
This enabled them to get on our right flank
with something Of cross-ire. The trenches
there were held by the Tenth Pennsylvania
and the Utah battery of Gen. GREENE's brig
ade, and we'll did they hold their ground
until achievements could be got forward
to drive back the Spaniards. In our total
loss there is O noticeable proportion Of dead,
but the Spaniards, as usual, wasted much Of
their ammunition by firing too high.
1t may encourage the Spaniards, even
though they were driven back, to have
acted aggressively, after being 80 long pent
up, and they may work all the harder to
keep their hold on Manila Until the well
come news Of an armistice comes to relieve
them. AS for our troops, those engaged will
already feel like veterans after this hand

cannot be the slightest doubt as to the real
situation at Manila. Gen. MERRITT can take
the tow whenever he chooses.
Admiral DEWEY has been reinforced by the
Monterey, whose tremendous 12-inch and
10-inch rifles would mako awful havoc in
the city. But Gen. MERRITT is not likely
to covet the glory Of a bloody assault on
Manila, and why should we destroy with
our guns a city that SO soon will be ours?

Peace.

When our feet moved over from Key
West to the blockade OF Havana the United
States had not known war with a foreigner
for fifty years. This war has lasted but a
little over three months. but the pub
lie will probably wake moro slowly
TO the fact that peace has come again than
It did to the fact Of war. The conflict has
been 90 sensational In it's achievements. so
rushing In it's valor and glory, and 30 mo-
m~entous and inspiring in It's results that we
arc more surprised to have 1t stopped than
we were at its quiet and easy beginning.
Public anxiety over the progress OF our
men In the field will now be succeeded by
anxiety Of a very different sort, that con-
corning the final terms of peace.

could not prevent through force Of arms. be
prevented by the folly, the timidity and the
rawness Of our representatives in the Peace

No one knows; but the majority Of Ameri-
cans believe that, WILLIAM MCKINLEY being
President, the final settlement will disap-
point none who has rejoiced like q patriot
ct the deeds Of our army and navy, and
who looks to q greater greatness for the
nation. They arc confident that the high
tide Of our success Is not in the future to

is signed giving to US the Philippines

And yet we are not Affirming that the

ness Of ignorance rather than to the courage
Of magnanlmity.

luck or through generous forbearance on

The Governor Of Kansas.

We address a respectful, and sven q
humble, remonstrance to the Hon. JOHN W.
LEEDY, Governor Of Kansas and chief Of
Populist philosophers. He Is about to close
the gates Of knowledge on mankind. A
Topeka despatch gives the painful news
that latter this he will decline to answer
queries sent him by the Eastern press for
his opinion on various subjects"
II this decision is not reversed, ifGovernor
LEEDY Is ~irrevocably resolved to blockade
the East and cut it Off from It's base Of in
tellectual supplies, a period Of suffering is
prepared for this unfortunate part Of the
country. II JOHN w. LEEDY seals himself
up. the springs Of information will be dry.
II JOHN W. LEEDY locks out the East from
his thought laboratory, the East must cease
to think. II JOHN W. LEEDY boards his
opinions, nc opinions can be had for love or
money.
1t Is as hard to imagine LEEDY refusing
to warn and instruct the plutocratic
and purple East as to imagine the At
lantic Ocean drained and laid out in golf
links and croquet grounds fenced with
clam shells. There is more language in
LEEDY than there is water in the Atlantic.
From the moment. some eight years ago
when, in the words Of an admiring biog-
rapher, he found he couldn't make a liv-
ing on a farm and decided to go into poll
tics, E has been one Of the seven hun
dred and neutrality-suspicious. Of Kansas
and almost the official illumination OF the
East. The children Of plutocrats are fright
ened into troubled slumbers by his name.
Psychologists map his bumps for nothing.
Museums wait for him.
LEEDY wants to build an Interstate rail-
road from the Nebraska line to Galveston.
LEEDY wants to dig a $685., 600, 900 canal
from Montana to Arkansas. LEEDY wants
State fire insurance and tornado insurance,
and so do the Populist brethren following
him. LEEDY wants the railroads to pay the
freight. LEEDY issues ultlmatums to the
War Department. LEEDY conducts the
campaign. LEEDY hurls defiance al q
standing army and navy whose principal
purpose is to watch him.. LEEDY drinks
tea from a saucer. LEEDY dreams Of octo-
puses every night. Amazing, many-sided,
many-tongued, indispensable LEEDY!
In a moment of pique against the Money
Power LEEDY threatens to deprive the East
Of the light OF his opinions. The threat
must not be carried out. In the noble words
of the Hon. DANIEL PRATT, a statesman,
man Of science, poet and orator not I'M
worthy to be named with the Kansas phi
losopher:
LET SHAKESPEARE stand behind the door,
Let BYRON lay aside the pen and write no more"
But don't shut off LEEDY!
