wAsH1NGToN,s DEATH.
Centennial Anniversary to BE OBJ
seFed


sered
Washington, Feb There will be
an interesting meeting in Alexandria
on Washington's birthday for the
purpose of arranging for the observ-
ance of the centennial anniversary of
the death of the Father of his Coun-
try. The arrangements will be under
the control of the Virginia grand lodge
of Masons. This is peculiarly appro
pirate because Washington presided
at the laying of the cornerstone of the
capitol in 1893, not only as president
of the United States, but also as past
master of Alexandria lodge of Masons.
During the ceremonies he wore his
masters sash and the apron presented
to him by Lafayette, wrought with
Masonic emblems in gold and silver
by the fair hands of the MarkuiSe de
Lafayette herself At the lodge room
in Alexandria, where the meeting Is
to be held two weeks from tomorrow,
are still preserved under lock and key
two of the candles borne by the lodge
in the funeral procession. The third
light carried at that time was burned
and the laying of the cornerstone OF
the Washington monument and at its
dedication, and will be burned for the
fourth and last time at the centennial
celebration of the patriots death. AS
President Mckinley is a Mason he
will be invited to deliver the principal
address at the ceremonies at Mount
Vernon. Arrangements will be made
at this months meeting for solemn
ceremony following as closely as pos
sible the ritual of the burial itself,
and the intention is to have Masonic
and other bodies FRONT all over the
country participate.

The efforts of China to get loan
of $4,000, 900 in England are remind
er that the Celestial Empire is now at
last definitely deprived of its ancient
distinction of having no public, or at
least no foreign, debt. China entered
the list of debt-burdened nations i'm
mediately after the Japanese war, be-
ing driven thereto by the exaction OF
the comparatively trifiing indemnity
of $80,000,000. She raised a loan in
Europe, which did not suffice to rid
her of the Japanese claims, yet bur
dened her to the amount Of $200,OO0,-
600. Now she seeks to increase her
debt by $S0,OOO,00O more, and will
doubtless succeed in so doing, so easy
is it to swell the sum on the wrong
side of the ledger when once the pro-
cess has been begun. In that, how
ever, China will merely join the great
majority.

The responsibility of journalism in
the matter of scandal is supremely
great. The press is the most influential
factor in American life This prodigi-
Gus power often becomes a source of
infinite mischief. 1t makes and I'M
makes men, parties, institutions and
enterprises. The tendency toward
yellow kid" journalism bodies evil for
every sane and sacred thing. The new
Journalism" like the tainted tongue, is
set on fire of hell. It's intrusion of
privacy, too much indulgence of per-
sonality, too hasty publication of mere
rumor too detailed account of crimes,
brutalities and scandals, and too reck-
less disregard Of reputation and right
eousness are tendencies which threaten
the very existence of virtue, delicacy,
confidence and joy. A scandal column
is not necessary to successful journal
ism, but if insisted upon, then for God
and humanity's sake it should be in
PRODUCED at the top of the column with
the crossbones and skull, having the
inscription, Beware of deadly poi
Son!"

A SANDER assumes protean forms. A
cartoon, gesture, shrug, wink, sign or
even silence may be sufficient to start
the i'll report. The tongue of the tale
bearer is set on fire of hell. He is a
peddler of calumny. The slanderer is
human night hawk, and yet how
common is this crime. How thick re-
proaches fly. How sad that men should
traduce instead of trust. SANDER is a
crime against which even tears are in
sufficient to bewail and prayers are i'm
potent to prevail.

Washington, Feb. IA recount OF
the treasury which was just COM

THE recount was made necessary by
the appointment in June last of ems
I'll. Roberts as United States treasurer
in place of D. n. Morgan. 1t was be-
gun on July /, and since that time
about S797 100000 in cash has been
counted. No errors or shortages were
discovered until the treasury com
mittee had begun work in silver vault
No. 1. in which there were O3,653,OOO
standard dollars. A colored man
named martin, employed as laborer,
was one day discovered IN the coal
and wood basement under suspicious
circumstances, and a search resulted
in finding a number of silver dollars
which, presumably, he had distracted
from some of the bags. Martin was
arrested and confessed that he had
taken 500, for which he had Supsu-
tuted lead The court imposed me
of $50 and Martin was released. inns

1t may not be inappropriate to take
some notice of the Cuban debt. Just
what it is cannot be exactly stated. A
year ago it was set down at $3.50, 000,
900, so that it is doubtless within
bounds to estimate it now at $780,,
900 900. Under the scheme of "auton-
omy'' just established the Madrid gov
eminent has the right to saddle the
whole of this upon the island. Under
Weyler's savage rule fully one-third of
the people of Cuba were exterminated,
leaving the population at present not
more than 100000. The debt will,
therefore, amount to no less than $500
for each inhabitant, with yearly in
Gerest charge of nearly $40 each. The
enormity of this burden will be better
realized when it is remembered that
the stupendous debt of France, which
all authorities declare to be the larg-
est ever incurred by any nation,
amounts to no more than $170 a head,
with an interest charge, as stated, of
only SIS. The autonomous Cuban state
will therefore have to start on its ca
reer amid the most unfavorable finan-
cial circumstances of all in the world.
No wonder many think autonomy on
such terms not worth accepting, and
prefer to struggle on for independ-
ence. which will set them free from
this burden of the Spanish debt.

had his side crushed in. OF the thirty
