Beauty and Perfect Form.
When the Spanish armada was
wrecked off the coasts Of Glare and
Galway counties many survivors Of the
disaster who reached the shores were
kindly cared for by the Irish people.
and considerable numbers Of these Nm
fortunates remained in the families OF
their generous-hearted rescuers, saws
the American Quarterly Review. Span
lsh Point on the coast of Glare reminds
OF the disaster to the great Spanish
heet. In the counties Of Glare and
Galway there is to be found at the
present day a people differing essen
tally from anyIof the distinctive racas
existing on Irish soil. This people are
the descendants of the Spanish officers.
sailors and soldiers who had been cast
ashore during the fearful storm which
destroyed the Spanish fleet.
The race marks Of this people ara
well defined. Crossed as it has been
with the Milesian stock, its Spanish
features offer a most interesting study.
for they remain prominent. The men
are tail, muscular, dark-featured.i with
black eyes and black hair. The wom-
en- have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are usually tall; bru-
nettes in some cases and fair In 9th
crs; with large, expressive black eyes
and an abundance Of black hair Their
beauty reminds Of the women Of the
Basque provinces, while among them
are to be found the perfection of the
female form in all Ireland.

ALLEGED INVESTIGATORS.

There is a little old ''scnate invcstl-
eating committee" at work i'll Llncoln
Investigating the alleged irregularities
in the ballots cast in 1896 for the Sill
prcme court amendment to the consti-
tuition. The committee has no legal
standing whatever, and cannot force
attendance of witnesses. but this fact
is not lettering it from making great
splurgc'and holding "Sittings and pon-
pously ordering state officials to come
before it in all its awful majesty. And
Che get real angry because the state off
cials won't recognize their greatness
nor shake in their shoes when they
send forth their dread summons. Sec
rotary Porter is 4 regular night mare
to them. and their dreams arc filled
with visions of Porter throttling and
raping the ballot box, or with pencil
in hand marking KS on the ballots as
if he had twenty thousand of them to
fix and only half-a-minntc's time to do
it in. The organ of the republican
party saws "werc it not for the limited
| time now remaining before the commit
tee mnst make its report under the res
olution passed by the senate. which
would give the secretary of state time
to work all possible legal delays, the
committee would undoubtedly go after
him with a sharpcncd stick. The reso'
| luton makes it necessary for the re-
port to be handed in 40 days after the
passage. This permits little time for
sparring on side issues. as the time cx
pircs July %"
If this is 50. it is pertinent to ask a
question or two. If this committee
was n bona tidc one, vested with au-
thority to cite witnesses and to compe.
them to testify, why is it the committee
waited until all but the last fourteen
of the allotted 100 were gone before Il
began to probe into what the rcpubli
cans allcgc was so great a crime: Thu
committee is composed of supposedly
intelligent men. and tho certainly ough'
to have known that a fortnight's tiln'
was not sufficient to make an investi
CATION of any thoroughncsS. And thcr
again. if the committee is a duly an
thoriZed committee, why does it re
frain from decided action. why Away
threaten but never punish?
The answer is that the committee i
not a legal committee. and its delay il
getting started was prcmeditatcd, a
it gives them all the time they ncct
for the work they wished to accomplish
that of manufacturing a little cam
paign material for use this fall.

Referring to certain labor leaders
who have protested against political
action by labor unions, the Whining
ton Justice remarks: They are wise
enough to know that legislatures pay
no attention to petitions unless a com
pact body of voters is back of them,
and they annot but know that the
only way to secure desired legislation
is to elect men in favor of it. But
these leaders also know that if work
ingmen should study political ques-
lions, and should unite in demand for
proper legislation, they would obtain
it. And then there would be no need
for labor leaders. Hence the protest
from these interested persons against
political action. Their jobs are In dan
ger, and like the members Of their
unions, they want to keep their Jobs
as long as they can"

OTHER TAPERS' IDEAS.
Truth AS to Otis Censorship.

Chicago Record,
In direct confirmation of the Records
repeated assertions that an oppressive
and dcspotic censorship has been es-
tablishcd at Manila comes the Joint
formal protest of eleven newspaper
correspondents stationed in the Philip.
pines. This protest makes specific
charges as to the manner in which
Gen. Otis has used the censorship, not
only to conceal but to distort and color
the information which it is the right
of the American people to have. The
protest affirms that some reports have
beer prohibited; that reports of mill.
tary failures have been suppressed:
that statistics showing the fate of
American soldiers in the field have
been eNciscd; that the naval operations
have been minimizcd. and that this
medieval practice OF concealing the
truth by the tributary methods of gag
law has been carried on solely for the
purpose Of dcceiving the people of the
United States. AS the correspondents
point out. there can be no prctense
That the censorship is maintained for
prudential military reasons in order
that tho enemy may not understand
the situation. The Filipinos car get
what information they desire quicker
and more easily through various chan
ncls right at home. 1t is maintained
simply in ordcr-to quote from Gen.
Otis-that the administration which is
responsible for the conduct of the war
may not "havc the people OF the United
States by the ears" While american
soldiers are winning fruitlcss battles
the people at home are being led to
; take an ultraoptimistic view of the
natter in order that the men re-
| sponsiblc for the misconduct of the
war may not suffer in public esteem.
1t is significant that this protest,
which was written and presented TIC
Gen. Otis. on July Q, with q reques,
that it be cablcd to the United States
was not sent to Manila, but to Hong
Kong. eight days later. In other words
| the men whose chief interest it is tt
get the facts before the American pub
lie were not allowed to file at Manila
even a protest, which could not pos
sibly have been suppressed for purely
military rcasons as it's publication
could have had no interest for the
enemy.
While Otis should have been attend
ing to military affairs he has been dc
voting himself to the work of editing
cablegrams and keeping.the public il
this country in ignorance of the facts
The Inference is unavoidable tina
either Gen. Otis or his superiors a
Washington are afraid of the truth
and afraid not for military reasons, bu
for political considerations. 1t is du
to the censorship that hardly a soul il
the United States to-day knows jus
what is going on in the Philippines
where American interests. America
honor and American lives arc at stake

A Town without Rats,

It Is a curious fact that Evart, Mich.
has no rats, or at least has none up to
this time, and in our nearly twenty
years residence here we have never
seen or heard Of but n rat being
seen here, and hat was several years
ago., when one was killed at the depot.
But it seems that We are in the line
of progress In this matter as well as
in others, for on Tuesday Will Ram
sey killed a large n at the EVart
Roller Mills. The rodent was seen
several weeks ago, and the men have
been looking for him. So far as
known there was but one, and it may
be that we are not to be cursed b. the
pests, as are other places, for a while.
