Inconsistent Economies.

With some rich women the instinct of
saving develops curiously. Why do you
suppose it isl remarked one acquaint-
ance to another, that Mrs. A., who
wears such expensive clothes, all beau
tifully made and of the richest materi-
ais, is never in the fashion,"
Why" laughed the other, sit is be-
cause she has such an economical turn
of mind that she never can bring her
self to wear gowns when they are fresh
from Paris. She looks at them, tries
them on and admires them, and never,
except at rare intervals, finds a func-
ton good enough to wear them at
When the winter is over they are care
fully put away. The next season, of
course, they are as fresh as ever, and
she thinks it is her duty to wear them
In the meanwhile she cannot resist or
dering new gowns, and so the same
thing goes on season after season She
simply cannot bring herself to what
seems to her the extravaganza of put
ting on new clothes and wearing them
at once.''
There are two rich sisters in New
York who always have alpaca umbrel-
las to take out in the rain to save their
silk ones. But when do you use your
good umbrellas?" asked a friend to
whom they had been explaining this
economy.
We'll, we do not use them much" ad-
mitted the economists, ''but we have
had our umbrellas for five years, and
they are as good as new
woman who will pay $50 for a bon
net will laboriously work over the
string of parcel, deeming it a waste
to cut it, She never orders a ball of
twine, which is always a comfort in the
house and which would cost only a few
cents, because there ought to be plenty
of string from the packages
To hesitate about paying out 81 in
one instance, and to spend a large sum
on some apparently useless article. is a
common trait among women of this
stamp. And the odd part of it is that
the inconsistency never seems to strike
them.-New York Tribune

1t is announced that the National
Democratic Committee will propose to
the party that its next rallying cry
shall be antitrust" That is supposed
to be ad1'oit, but it happens that the
antitrust business cannot be made a
political issue There is no politics in
trusts In fact, the belief is well
founded that more Democrats than Re-
publicans are interested in the forma-
ton of trusts. Trust legislation relates
to an economic not a political, policy
Strive as it may, the Democracy will
not be able to shout itself into favor
with the cry Of Antitrust There is
no political organization that is likely
to take issue with it and proclaim a
trust policy. 1t will, therefore, not be
within the possibilities for the Democ-
racy to ride into power on an anti
trust wave.

The American delegates in the Gar s
Peace Conference have had the luck to
run up against the Russian idea at the
outset. They stand firmly for the neu-
tralization of property at sea- when
such property is not contra band of war
Russia opposes the idea. But we are
right. Why should the property of the
non -combatant which does not contra
vene the international laws concerning
carriage of contraband of war be liable
to seizure? The writers on interna-
tional law for fifty years have been con-
tending for precisely what the Ameri-
can delegates now stand forward for.
But the dispatches state that our dele
cation has little hope Of succeeding in
its endeavor, since unanimity is essen
tial to any new regulation being made
binding upon the nations.

CONSCIENCE AND LOYALTY.

CONSCIENCE AND LOYALTY.
The San Francisco Bulletin con-
siders the question whether it is or is
not the right thing to teach the doc
trine "our country right or wrong" It
quotes President Northrop as denounc-
ing that expression as "damnable
heresy." Our country, he says, is never
wrong; it is always right Thereby we
take it the university man means to be
understood that We cannot afford a pa
triotism which is dependent upon the
judgment of the man as to whether the
policy of the Government of his coun-
try is right or wrong, when it faces
home or foreign antagonism.
We agree with the Bulletin" that
between the man who holds that what
ever his country may do is right and
one who stands by his country while
believing it wrong, the preference of
most thinking men will lie with the
latter Which is the better citizen
ship, that which holds it's country to
be right always because it is its coun-
try, or that which exercises the right
OF criticism and objection without dis
loyal dissent or conspiracy against the
country? Suppose all those who be-
lieve the policy of the country to be
wrong withdraw support from it.
Would there be true stability in such
Cl1Ir q
that if there was such withholding the
Government would degenerate into mill
tarisn pure and simple.
1t follows that the men who remain
by the Government of their country
despite the belief that it may be wrong
in the very policy thus upheld, insure US
stability, safety and a trim ship of
state. For our part we are agreed with
Professor Northrop to the extent Of
condernning the expression "our country
right or wrong" but without agreeing
with him in the second declaration he
makes and quoted already. The SEN
thinking and unreason. It Indicates that
that there are minds willing to submit
to amy condition simply because of en-
vironment. Those loyal citizens in our
birth because they could not con-
scientiously stand for the system or
policy under which they lived, but
would not be guilty Of raising the stan
af tr,c
element that cannot hold to the doc
trine my country right or wrong; nor
to the doctrine of DR.. Northrop,
Our country is always right; it
never can be wrong" With them coun-
try became wrong to such a degree that
they were led to abandon it, and take
on obligations to a new and strange
Government.
does not follow that such men were
disloyal to their native country. Some
were, but reference is to those who
peaceably and lawfully changed allegi-
lieving their country wrong and too
loyal to rise in rebellion against 1t, or
to refuse it the support due from them,
they cut loose from it and deliberately
assumed duties under another protect
ing Government. These do not stand
for country right or wrong, nor yet do
they acquiesce in the doctrine that my
country cannot be wrong; it is always
right" These teach US really the true
loyalty, namely that while we remain
in the country and Of it, We will stand
for 1t, but that we do not thereby sur
render the free will that permits US to
judge the country to be wrong, as
well to hold it to be right.

It Is clear according to Admiral
Dewey that all there is of the Filipino
rebellion is Aguinaldo; that If he We're
eliminated the whole thing would col
lapse. Does this signify that the man
is a natural leader of men? Ordinarily
it would bear such testimony, but in
this case the followers are of a strange
order. They are more terrified than
moved upon by patriotism. In part
their resistance springs out of belief
that we are invading their spiritual
rights; in part out of ignorance of
American civilization; in part out Of
greed; in part out of the misinforma-
tion with which they have been
crammed. Our conclusion must be that
Aguinaldo is not natural leader, but a
cunning conspirator. and that he has
power over the fears rather than the
affections of his followers. He is the
brightest man among them; fairly well
educated; shrewd, daring and cunning.
But he never can rank as a leader
in the sense that Gomez, Garcia and
Bolivar and men of that order took
place in the worlds estimation.

The London Mali reflects the senti-
ments of very large body of the Eng
lish people. Indeed, it speaks for the
thoughtful and conservative. The
Mail" in treating of the success OF
our arms at Calumpit says:
The victory is all the more welcome
and all the more grateful to US be-
cause we have been watching with
deep interest the efforts of a political
party in the United States to humiliate
the nation and the Government by per-
suading them to a disgraceful ana
cowardly retreat. This. party is in
significant in strength and influence
but what it lacks in this direction 1t
makes up for by its lung power. 1t has
gone to the length of endeavoring to
induce American volunteers to demand
their recall in the face of the enemy
To the eternal credit of these volun-
teers, be it said, few have acted upon
this treacherous and unpatriotic insti-
cation. The American people may we'll
be proud of their soldiers. The men
have been patient, enduring, steadfast.
devoted, patriotic. We may regret the
sacrifices which they have been called
upon to make. but this consolation re-
mains-that they have made these sac
rifices for a great cause.
This English expression will not
please the modern copperheads. 1t is
rather humiliating to the loyal people.

vision along lines that are not indi
cative of the unity that should charac-
terize nation in the face of an enemy

Insanity is now recognized as a dis
ease which is the result of some func-
tionaI or organic disturbance of the
brain or of some injury or malformation
of that organ Be it said to the ever
lasting credit of medical science that it
has rescued the whole subject of the dis
eases of the brain and nervous system
from the region Of myth and superstition
and placed it on scientific plane along
with the other diseases and injuries to
which human flesh is heir
The old lunatic asylums and the filthy
cells of the county jails with all their
horrors where the victims of dethroned
reason used to be confined and tortured
have been abolished and in their place
we now have the modern hospital for
the insane, and it stands on the same
footing in every respect as a hospital
for diseases of the eye and ear or any
other medical speciality. It was not the
churches, but medical science, inspired
by desire to benefit maniin which
taught the world that the insane are
our brothers still and that to them is
due the same Christian charity and care
as to any others in distress DR. John

If we listen to the voice of the charm
er or go to ahe books on Cuba for our
information, we shall find that the
mineral resources of this island include
gold, silver. mercury, lead, antimony,
copper, chrome, iron, manganese, pitch,
bitumen and even coal, but when we
come to look for practical metallic re-
suits commensurate with these varied
mineral resources we shall be disap-
pointed
The gold fiction is the most time hon
ored for the original Spanish settlers
expected to find rich gold mines in
Cuba. According to their historians,
'.much gold was taken from this island
at the beginning of the conquest " but
it seems probable that most of this was
taken from the chiefs or caciques of the
Indians and very little from the ground
''El Viagero Universal Madrid, 1897, J
says '.Some of this metal (gold) is still
found at Holguin Whenever the ex-
istence of gold in Cuba is discussed this
''mine' at Holguin is invariably brought
forward 1t is true that some work has
been done at this point and little gold
has been extracted. but there has never
been any systematic exploration, and
there is nothing there which may be
dignifed with the name of mine =

YOUTH AND LOVE.

Youth and Love fell out one day.
Said Youth to Love- 'Ill go my way
And leave you broken hearted.
I'll go through life without your aid.
I'll gaze on neither man nor maid"
And fColishly they parted.
Off went naughty Youth alone.
He hummed tune in merry tone
And never looked behind him,
While Love at home was sad and sore
And longed for merry Youth once InorB
Alas, she could not find him
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushed his merry song
His heart was full of sorrow.
He found it hard to stay away
From Love- if only for day.
He came back on the morrow.
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew or sky.
They d fade if they would severl
As long as there are tide and time
In every land, in every cline,
Youth and Love will be together.
