Colonel Hadley expects to have at
tractive entertainments by volunteer
performers. singers and piano players,
violinists and other people who VIII
contribute to the enjoyment of the
patrons. comic recitations, slight-of-

which he thinks will compete success
fully with the pool rooms and music
halls in the neighborhood. The base
ment is being fitted up as a bowling
alley and gymnasium, which will be
opened in few days.
This novel saloon was opened on
Nov. l, and Mr.. Curtis writes that 1t
already pays expenses. For the first
week the receipts averaged about 81
day and are increasing slowly. The
results are so encouraging that Colonel
Hadley proposes to establish several
more in the "tenderloln" and Other
parts of the city. The gospel of COM
mon sense appeals to the physical as
well as the spiritual man and goes
for his salvation along the line of the
least resistance.

the Saturday Evening Post. Once ahe

with one of the most srridently dis
cordant voices Mrs. Davis had ever
heard. Her singing was so bad that
1t fascinated her but, nevertheless, IL
seemed TO delight others in the con-
gregation.
Immediately after the sermon an old
man who shared hcr pew showed great

Resolutions.

At Il meeting of the directors of The
Tribune Publishing company held Novem-
her 80, 1899, the following minute was
directed TO be placed on record:
1.-The directors of The Tribune Publish
ing company have learned with sadness
of the sudden death of Alexander Craig,
who had been associated with them for
two years as secretary and general man
ager
"Our association with him during this
time has shown his skill, efficiency ana
faithfulness in the position we had as
signed him to such an extent tht he won
our entire confidence and high esteem.
The suddenness of the shock by which
our friend, with his entire family, was
taken from us has intensified the keen
ness OF our sorrow and made our SYM
pathy ineXpressible. We tender our deep
felt sympathy to the mother of the de-
ceased in her sorrow and loss as well as
to the brother and sister who have been
so grieYously bereft."

THE HOUSE is JUDGE.
From the Detroit Tribune.

From the Detroit Tribune.
Hon. Galusha a. Grow, OF Pennsylva-
mia, the oldest member OF the national
house of representatives, In an interview
shows how foolish are the statements
that there is no precedent for not allow
ing Congressman-elect Roberts Of Utah
to take his seat. Mr.. Grow reiterates
the well-known fact that the house is
the sole Judge not only of the legal
qualifications, but also the moral quail
tications of its own members, and can by
a majority vote prevent any member
elect from taking his seat, He cites sew
eral preCedents, including the famous
New Jersey case, where the Democratic
house shut out the entire whig delega-
tion from that state and rightly says
there would be no sense I'm allowing
man to take his seat only to cXpel him
by twO-thirds vote when the majority
can decide the matter as soon as the
house is called to order

closely to the details Of his trust, seek
ing no personal fame. In this way 1t
happened that the circle of his per-
eonal friends in Scranton was not yet
wide, but 1t was n growing circle, and
those who entered it stayed. As a
business mar he knew his business;
but he also knew more. He knew the
value Of purctuality. courtesy and fl.
deity. He never broke promise. He
never shirked a duty. He built intell-
gently for the future and he built by
methods that win.
The public in general does not ap-
precfate the infinitude of details and

those who have this knowledge it will
be significant 20 say of Alexander
Craig that he carried himself in uni

his self control. Those Of us who were
associated with him feel that to his
memory is due the public placing of
the credit which in life he never
grasped for.

No Martrydom for AguinaIdo.

a DMIRAL DEWEY doubts II
~ We should imprison or hang
4 N Aguinaldo, but adds that
such treatment is probably
what he deserves. The question OF
course is one of policy rather than of
exact Justice. If the man is regarded
as a patriot by any considerable num-
Der Of the Filipinos we should certainly
consider this opinion and not provoke
disaffection anew by contributing a
martyr TO the insurgents cause.
But II the Tagalo fugitives exchange
open war for guerilla work which can
not be distinguished from the murder
and robbery of banditti, and Aguin-
aldo unites his fortunes with those OF
the marauders, his status as patriot
can hardly continue to have even the
faint color it now has After a time,
when the people have had an expert

ernment as they have never before

known, II is probable that they them
selves will strongly object to paying
toll to highwaymen and assassins. We
may look for decided revulsion Of
sentiment on their part toward their
sinister guide, who is doubtful material
for martyrdom at best.
IT, therefore. a general amnesty Is
promised 1t should be coupled with 4
distinct threat that unless its terms
are accepted everyone, high and low,
who rejects them will do so at his peril.
In such case there could be no con-
fusion of political offenses with COM
mon crimes. The insurgent leader
would be brigand like the others, and
his execution after legal trial would be
entirely justifable.
1t is not probable, however, that he
would hold out under the circum-
stances, and herein lies the chief value
of the threat. with the spectacle Of
the gallows before him Aguinaldo is
very likely to accept an alternative
that will save his neck. He has demon
strated from the very outbreak of hos
tilities that he is coward. SO far as
We know he has never led his troops
in action, hut has always been fore
most in retreat. His hasty flight from
one of his alleged capitals to another
has made him a laughing stock in this
country deservedly enough, and the
filings of the paragrapher are the real
measure of his valor.
As patriotism was never confided to
a meaner or more contemplate cham
pion, so we may reasonably expect
that the results will correspond to the
experiment. The George Washington OF
Luzon may first try to compromise by
soliciting bribe in accordance with n
precedent which he himself established,
but after that if he cannot escape the
country, we may expect nervous col

The tiresome farce that has been en-
acted in the selection of jury at the
MolineuX trial, in New York, is almost
enough to make one doubt that justice
can be obtained in court where the de-
PENDANTS are possessed OF ample means
to hire lawyers competent to juggle
with Jurisprudence. The reluctance of
the average man to serve as juror in d
murder trial has made it easy for

members on the list if he so desires.
The selection Of Jurors to try Molineuv
has consumed more time than should
have been devoted to the entire trial,
and men in the box are now nearly
worn out by the tedious process Of Sc
lecting the panel. The right of every
man to a fair trial when arraigned for
serious crime is undoubted, but little
good can result from an exhibition like
that given in New York this week.
