A List TO be Remem bered.

The New York Journal calls
those Democrats who voted tor
the treaty, Sterling Democrats
who saved their party by placing
their country above itW
We do not take much stock in
Democrats who vote the Repub-
lican ticket "to save their party, !"
The Democrats of these States,
too, will remember that vote. AS
the Republicans are in the annex
ing business, why do they not
annex those Senatorsl
What a shame for those borght
up papers to charge all those Dem
ocrats, who stood by their party
and the Republic against the rev.
olution initiated by Hanna and
his crowd against this country and
the Liberties OF the people, with
having been against their party by
voting the Democratic ticket up
to the last moment!
Senator'S McEnery and McLau-
rim who decided the vote, were
promised by the Republicans that
the McEnery bill, which promises
to treat the Philippines like Cuba,
would be passed, as soon as the
treaty would be adopted.
The amendment will not pass
now, because the Republicans will
not keep their word. The treaty
was, therefore, adopted upon false
pTetences and swindles.

Death of Ex-ohAueeuOr Caprivr.

Death OF Ex-ChaneeIlor CaprivI.
Last Monday there died in the
neighborhood OF Berlin, go Count
Won Caprivi de Cabrera de Monti-
euculli, the successor OF Bismarck
as German Chancellor.
Leo Won Caprivi was in 1s47
classmate OF the editor OF the
WASHINGTON SENTINEL, in the Sec
ond Class CSecunda) of the Gym
nasium (College) Zum Grauen
Kloster (Greyconvent) in Berlin.
He was a quiet, unassuming, ami
able, red checked, blonde young
gentleman, and none Of his
classmates at that time had any
idea OF the great role he would
play in alter life. He afterwards
graduated from the Werder gym
nasium.
Caprivis father was a Judge Of
the Highest Court in Prussia.
After passing through the gymna-
sium the son entered, in IS49, at the
age Of IS, the Kaizer Franz Reg,
iment OF Grenadlers as a one years
volunteer. The following year he
was appointed second lieutenant.
After attending the Berlin Mill
tary Academy tor several years he
became first lieutenant in 1859, and
two years later was made captain
on the military staff.
Since 1864 Caprivi has been
identified with all the important
German campaigns. He was chiet
Of the staff Of the Tenth Army
Corps during the Franco-Prussian
war of 1871, and in 1883 he was ap-
pointed to the command OF the
Thirteenth Division at Metz.
AS man OF warfare Caprivi was
exceedingly versatile. When in
1884 he succeeded Herr Won Stosch
as head Of the navy everybody was
amazed at his mastery of naval
sciences.
Soon after the presen Emperor's
accession. en- the death of Count
Stosch, Caprvi reorganized the
German navy. He subsequently,
returned to military lite, being
given command ofthe Tenth Army
Corps.
1t was during the army manoeu,
vres Of 1889 that Caprivi drew the
particular attention Of the Kaiser,
and he was made Chancellor in
1890, when Prince Bismarck re-
linquished the helm Of State.
Owing to differences of opinion
with Count Zu Eulenburg, he re-
signed the CHARACTERISTIC on
October a6, 1894. Caprivi was
succeeded as Chancellor by Prince
Hohenlohe Schillingsfuerst.

War with Germany.

The Washington Pest, an Eng
lish organ and McKinley's Court
Journal, continues its lying editor
ials against Germany. We ask
the Post to cite one instance ofhos-
tility Of the Germans at Manila,
instead Of its indefinite long.ex-
ploded lies. -Four fifths OF Samoa
is settled and owned by Germans.
If any wrong has been done there,
the German Government will rem
edY it.
But the Post wants a war with
Germany. No other meaning can
be given to its articles. We fear
that will be heavier job than kill
ing the Filipiuos by the thousands,

A ProhinIrInn Xiotnrr

The Army bill, which passed the
House last week, contains in Sec
tion 10 prohibition victory.
This section reads That no Off
Ger or private soldier shall be de-
tailed to sell Intoxicating drinks,
as a bartender or otherwise, in any
post exchange or canteen, nor shall
any person be required or allowed
to sell such liquors in any encamp-
ment or fort or on any premises
used for military purposes by the
United States"
For months the prohibition and
puritanical Church Societies have
been flooding Congress with petit
tions to stop the sale Of liquors in
canteens, soldiers homes. emigrant
bureaus and public buildings. The
result of those petitions is the
above Section 10. More Of the
kind will follow hereafter.
We hope that the Senate Hlll not
merely strike out that section but
defeat the whole Army bill, which
will give US standing army of
over loo, 900 and increase our ex-
penditures over SI5o, 900, 600 more
a year, and necessitate the increase
instead Of decrease Of our war
taxes.
We know that our Democratic
Senators will do their duty, as they
have done so often, and make this
army bill an impossibility. We
shall do our best to remind them
OF this iniquitous bill.
The idea of stopping the sale of
the articles which principally have
to furnish the revenue, illustrates
the old Republican hypocrisy.
This is another proof that the
friends Of personal liberty have
nothing to hope from the Repub-
lican party but mischief and treach.

Senator Aldrich

promised Senator McEnery to have
adopted the resolution ofthe latter
to put the Philippines on the Cuban
basis Immediately after the ratih-
cation Of the treaty. That promise,
which turns out now to have been
a false one, will never be fulfilled.
There seems to be no longer any
honor with some OF our Senators.
What must be the feeling of the
Southern Senators McEnery and
McLaurin now7 And in what es-
timation will their constituents
hold them after this7

Who Commenced at Manila?

In the first place, il Mckinley
and his revolutionists had not pre-
vented the Senate from passing a
resolution in regard to the treaty
to the effect that we did not want
to annex for good those Islands,
and ifhe had not sent his thousands
OF troops there, there would have
been no fghting-at Manila last
Saturday.
Mckinley alone is responsible
for the murder Of thousands and
the burning down OF the towns and
villages around Manila. He is re-
sPonsible f any life lost in a,ldi-
ton to the thousands already lost.
Wonder whether ne can sleep at
night, whether the spirits OF those
murdered do not disturb his
dreams7
Said Senator Tillman in his ex-
cellent speech last Tuesday:
"Mr. President, what caused this
last battle OF Manilap The reports
which we receive through our
newspapers all come from Ameri-
can sources; they charge that the
FIlipinos wantonly attacked the
American army. and that that army
had right to defend itself, which
nobody assumes to deny. But
when we rec Jllect that the tele-
graph lines from those islands are
IN charge OF the American COM
mander there, or OF those whom he
designates to control them, it is
natural for US to suppose that
nothing would be let out under the
censorship which has existed for
the last three months or more that
would be in the slightest degree
derogatory to the good faith or the
honor ofthe American army there.
Time alone will tell whether this
battle was provoked by the Fill.
pines for purposes Of their own or
by the Americans for the purpose
OF endeaYCring to sway men in this
Senate to ratify the treaty and
change the status.
Il come now to make a state
ment, upon which I base what
have Just said, to this effect. That
l have seen in the last 48 hours an
invaded officer OF the American
army, one Of the regulars, who has
Just reached this city from Manila.
From what he told me Of the stu
alton before he left there, dare
to assert that the American army
has been in a state Of siege there
tor three or four months; that the
ines SURF ounding the city have
been in the possession OF the Flip |
no army outside; that no Ameri- |
ian was allowed to cross them; |
Ind that those Filipinos. while they |
had not been actively engaged in
iring upon our troops, have pre-
ierved strict recognition OF the
act that they were in an attitude
II antagonism, that they did not
ecognize this Government as hav-
ng any rights outside OF the city
IT Manila. II that be true, Mr..
resident, the question recurs as
o who may be responsible or who

Saturday last.

The touch of q hand, the glance Of an eye,
Or a word exchanged with a passer-by;
A glimpse of a face in a crowded street
And aftcrward life is incomplete:
A picture painted with honest zeal
And we lose the old for the new ideal;
A chance remark or a songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
An angered word from our lips is sped
Or n tender word is left unsaid.
And n there is who, his whole life lorg,
Shall cherish the brand of a burning
wrong;
A line that stares up from an open page,
A cynic smile from the lips of age,
A glimpse of loving seen in n play,
And the dreams of our youth are swept
away.
A friendly smile and loves embering
spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the dark;
A whispered BE brave" to our fellow
men
And they pick up the thread of life
again.
Thus never an act or a word or thought
But that with unguessed importance is
fraught,
For small things build up eternity
And blazon the ways for a destiny.
