1U@001e TO aWaken Pres
idenf Mckinley to the fact that the party
was losing ground by the incompetent
and apparently purposeless campaign be-
Ing carried on in the Philippines.
1t Is bad for the country he said, "and
worse for the party in power, for it cam
not fail to be held responsible. We cannot
hold our men together in the next cam
paign unless there is some radical change
for the better very soon.
Such is the talk, he says, that is heard
on every hand, and the opposition are
using it as a powerful political weapon.
II this is the feeling in the country dis
tricts the President can accept it as a
pretty good index of the universal drift
OF public opinion. The feeling is ever more
acute in this city, as we know from the
men we meet and converse with daily.
The Tribune is not in favor of mixing
politics and war, but since it is evident
that political considerations are governing
TO a greater or less extent, we would like
to impress upon the Administration at
Washington the fact that it is losing
ground by its d~ilatory tactics. The next
PRESIDENTIAL campaign is even now to a
greater or less extent being fought out
in the Philippines.
Ihe suppression of the rebellion there
within the next six months will insure
President Mckinley another four years
term, but if in six months the situation
there shall remain as unsettled as it is
now his calling and election will be very
doubtful.
It is time for plain Speaking, and the
Tribune speaks not merely as a party
organ but as a patriotic American journal.

Pa~derewski, believing that he was

doubt him no longer, for there is a

to his departed wife that will go
straight to the bottom of the feminine

Now that womankind know their in

1t is probably a good thing for him
that the great musician is not in this

utter insignificance. We wouldn't give
much for his life, in fact, should he be

An UngratefuI Youth.

One Chicago mans charitable DISPOSE
ton received a severe shock yesterday
that will probably act as a ''restrainer"
from promiscuous giving for some time
to come, says the Chicago Daily News.
1t was on a west side car. He and
friend were commenting on the hardships
of the poor when a ragged urchin climb
ed on the car and crawled into the seat
just behind the two friends. The conduct
or asked for his fare, and the boy began
a most elaborate hard-luck story, winding
up with the statement that he wanted 10
get home, and that he was too tired and
played OUT to walk.
The conductor, however, firmly refused
to let him ride unless his fare was paid,
and was about to throw the boy off the
car, when the kind-hearted man turned
round and commanded the conductor to
release the unfortunate youngster, as he
was going to pay the fare himself. Then
he began to dig around into his pockets
and finally, producing a nickel, gave it
to the conductor and settled back with
the pleased consciousness Of a noble ac-
ton done.
The car sped on and reached the street
where the boy lived The kind-hearted
man had forgotten him, when a voice yell
ed in his ear:
Say
He turned and saw his beneficiary hang
ing on to the side of the car and thrusting
out a handful of nickels, dimes and pen
MES, at the same time yelling: Did you
tink I'm broke? Look at dat. You Sc a

off into the dust at the side of the car
track, while the man sat speeches., gaz-
ing after him.

The appeal which the Secretary Of War
has sent to governors Of the states for
contributions for the Porto Rican suf-
forers viii no doubt be responded TO
promptly and literally The hurricane
left the island and the people in a truly
deplorabie condition. If the accounts Of
the damage done are anywhere near cor
rect very large part Of the entire popu-
lation will have to be fed for several
months. A gentleman who was on the
island at the time Of the hurricane, ana
had an opportunity to see something of
the destruction that was wrought by 1t,
in an interview in one of the New York
papers on Thursday said: Porto Rican
people have always seemed to me the most
poverty stricken in the world 1t was
hard 10 believe that they could be worse
off than they were before the cyclone
but their state then was happy and com
Portable compared TO that in which they
were after the flood. Many of them go

government, pinned about them for their
only clothing. Meantime the people from
the country districts are pouring into
Ponce every day. The wind devastated
the entire island Il destroyed every stalk
Of sugar cane every coffee tree. every
banana tree in its path. Those people
have absolutely nothing to live on, and
they come to the seaport for bread
From the foregoing statement it is APP
parent that this country has an immense
work of charity to do. As there is no
government depends upon the people for
contributions. The people are willing to
give and to give literally, but in order
to accomplish anything there will have
to be organization. There will have 20

clothing and food. And it is evident that
there will have to be a great deal of judg-
ment exercised in distributing the sup
plies. The natives will not work as long
as they are permitted to draw rations
from the government or are the recipients
of the bounty of the American people.
That was the case on the sea islands off
the coast Of Charleston when those ISL
ands were devastated by a great storm.

while of course rations will have to be
given to about everybody who asks for
them but it ought not to take long to
sift the deserving from the undeserving.
1t has been stated by returned soldiers
that while food was being distributed in
Cuba, women frequently came to the CON-
missary, got what they asked for and
rode back to their homes in cab The
fact that they were able to pay cab fare
was evidence that they were not in such

H P. Myton United States Indian agent
at White Rocks, Utah, has among the
Ute Indians on his reservation a man
who for twenty years has done awful
penance to atone for the accidental kill
ing of his mother, but who, in spite of
what he has passed through thinks that
he has not yet suffered sufficiently for
his transgression.
The killing was entirely accidental, says
an exchange, and the tribe held the In
dian blameless, and did not punish him.
His conscience, however, was his accuser,
and it held him up as a criminal.
When his first burst of grief was over
he imposed a harsh sentence upon him
self. He made a solemn vow that for
the rest of his life he would not wear
clothing or enter house, tepee or other
dwelling.
For more than twenty yearh the redskn
has kept his word. He sleeps in the open
air, with a piece of old blanket about
three feet square hung over him on some
sticks He is entirely nude.
Mr.. Hyton says the Indian lies on the
ground through the winter, even when
the thermometer goes as low as 40 de-
grees below zero.

Curious Chinese Custom.

A somewhat vexatious law in China
compels every doctor, after dark, to hang
up in front of his house as many lighted
lamps as he has sent patients into the
next world says the New Haven Union
One evening a European who was staying
in Picking on business, set out in search
of a doctor for his WIFE who had been
suddenly taken i'll. He called at the house
of a good many, but was deferred by the
large number of lamps exhibited before
each. At length, after tramping about
for several hours, he came to the house
of a doctor where only three lamps shed
a melancholy light over the entrance.
Our happy European man dashed into the
house of this excellent man, awoke him
and took him off to his lodgings.
81 presume you are the best practitioner
in this city?" he said to his companion
as they went along.
