At Their old Tricks.

The residence of Rev. M. L. Peters,
Lutheran pastor at Lopez, Ind, was
dynamited. His earnest sermons
against the saloon as we'll as his activ-
ity in securing the arrest of the pro-
prietor for violating the law and
others for drunkenness are a sufficient
explanation. Mr.. Peters was not at
home at the time, but his wife and
child were there. Mrs. Peters was
badly frightened, and she and her
child were injured, but not seriously.
The front portion of the house was
found to be badly shattered by the tre-
mendous conclusion.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

The Episcopal church has never
been accused of being a fanatical oppo-
nent of the saloon. This fact may add
weight to the testimony given below.
That the statements are exaggerated
there can be no doubt. Thousands of
our soldier boys have returned as
clean as when they left their homes.
But there is enough truth stated to
cause the blood to boil in the veins Of
any true patriot, anyone interested in
the moral welfare of his country. The
damnable canteen is also playing a
prominent part in this awful tragedy.
The 430 saloons of Manila were inau-
gurated and are being conducted un-
der the protection of our flag. Pres
1dent Mckinley has the same author
ity to abolish them as to order the
streets of Santiago cleaned.
Army Secretary Peyton, of the
Brotherhood of ST. Andrew, who, after
six months stay in the Philippines,
whittier he went under commission
from Bishop Doane, chairman of the
board of domestic and foreign mis-
sions of the Protestant Episcopal
church, to examine and report upon
conditions in those islands, says:
AT the present time there is no
chance for Protestant effort. It is
practically useless to undertake to do
anything there until the United States
troops depart or reform. The United
States has in and around Manila at
this moment, or had when I left a few
weeks ago, $4,000 drunkards, rakes.
and gamblers. Of course there are ex-
ceptions, but they are not worth men
tloning. The statement is sufficiently
accurate. When the American troops,
landed in Manila there was only a sa-
loon or two in the whole place. Today
Manila is a hell-hole. There are 43O,
or more saloons, typical places of the
Western frontier, or worse, and the
saloons are more respectable than are
many of the other places within the
city which Americans have either
planted or keep alive by their sup,
port"

Young People Organizing.

McVeigh is reported as being good
looking fellow, and had the reputation
of being a model soldier when not un-
der the influence of liquor. He was
drunk when he struck the officer and
quite likely he obtained the liquor that
made him drunk at the army canteen,
which the President allows to exist
contrary to law.

White House r1enu.

The Washington correspondent of
the Pittsburg Dispatch in writing of
the dinner to be given by President
Mckinley to Admiral Dewey at the
White House on the night of Oct. 8,
had this to say of the wines provided:
Sherry will be served with the oys-
ters, claret with the soup, sauterne
with the fish and champagne ad libi-
tum afterward. 1t is likely that the
Dewey banquet for which the Presi-
dent has to pay out of his own pocket,
will cost nearly if not quite 81 1000, and
the bulk of this expense will be for
wines. The cigars, too, being of the
very finest, will come to a pretty pen
ny. Both wines and cigars are bought
by the steward, who is a connoisseur. -

1t is high time for some kind of Or
ganization to teach the people that
the free coinage of boys into drunk
ards, of men into maniacs, of homes
into novels, is bigger question than
the coinage of silver. The protection
of the homes of the nation is a bigger
question than the amount of tariff
that should be assessed on a barrel of
axel grease. The destiny of the liquor
traffic at home is larger question
than the destiny of the nation beyond
the sea.-C. N. Howard.

Churches Waking up.

The Minnesota M. E. conference de-
nounced the Griggs decision and asked
the President to abolish the canteen.
The Northern M. e. conference de-
clared that the Griggs style of inter-
probation would render our laws mop
erative and plunge the country into
anarchy. 1t also resolved that,
'While the church must never at
tempt to control the political views of
it's membership, we nevertheless ex-
press our conviction that neither po-
litical party nor candidate that favors
the licensing of this abominable traf-
fic has any right to expect, or ought to
receive, the support of our people"
Both Dr. Leonard, of New York, mis-
sionary secretary, and DR.. E. S. Dun
ham held up President Mckinley to
the reprobation of their hearers and
their audiences thundered their ap-
proval of their burning words.
The Rock River (Chicago) M. E.
conference requested the President to
Danish wine and liquor from the
White House.
The temperance committee of the
Baptist state convention reported res
olutions expressing hostility to the
liquor traffic and indignation at the
notification of the army canteen law
and commencing the work and
methods of the Anti-Saloon League.
Rev. w. B. Riley, of Minneapolis;
Rev. F. R. Leach, of Anoka; Rev. E.
B. Jones, of Owatonna, and others de-
manded stronger action, and especial
ly opposed the commentator of the
Anti-Saloon League on the ground that
it favored compromise measures.
Others defended the resolution, but it
was sent back to the committee. The
committee appeared with the same
resolution with that part of it relat-
ing to the League stricken out. This
did not satisfy the convention. and it
was again referred and finally the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted
Resolved, That we continue to ex-
press our perpetual hostility against
the iniquitous liquor traffic, declaring
our indignation at the notification of
the army canteen law, and hereby
pledge and urge every liberty-loving
citizen to use all legitimate means for
it's complete annihilation.'

Last winter the Santa Fee Railroad
company established a steamship line
to Japan, with the eastern terminus at
San Diego. There is an admirable har-
Dor here, with plenty of water, an easy
approach and perfect protection. 1t
is seldom that nature has provided
everything necessary for the accommo-
dalton Of commerce in such thorough
and complete manner, and all that was
left for the company to do was to erect
commodious dock, warehouses and
other facilities for storing and han
ding freight That has been done in a
most satisfactory manner, and cargoes
can now be sent between the wharf
here and the city of Chicago over the
same railroad with only one handling.
Three steamers have already sailed

Delicate Heat Measurement.

A new calorimetric machine, said to
be the finest of it's kind in the world,
has been received by the geological
survey at the Johns Hopkins univer-
sity. 1t is a contrivance for finding the
relative quantity of heat in different
qualities of coal. The testing apparatus
consists essentially of a bomb, or heavy
SHE'LL about the size of a large orange,
in which a small platinum crucible is
suspended by a small wire and jack
eted tank of water. A gram of coal
dust is compressed into a cake, and
placed in the platinum crucible, which,
after receiving 375 pounds of oxygen
and being rendered alright by a screw
cap, is immersed in the tank. By an
electric spark the oxygen is ignited
with the coal, and the increase of tenn
perature in the water, caused by the
consumption of the coal, is accurately
measured by two delicate thermome-
tiers. The bomb is made of aluminium
bronze, weighs about two pounds and
Is coated on the inside with 20 coats of
gold Observation-Disclosures Sun.

work will thereafter be done by men

will begin in the afternoon, and little
work on them will be done after night
fall. The force will be uniformed in
