The following question and answer in
the columns of the New York Sun may
prove interesting to Rev. ]. B. Helwig,
the ranting parson of the First Presby-
terrain church, of this city:
did the pope of Rome during the
civil war Of 1861 issue a statement that
he was in favor of the Southern cause,
and thereby cause about one-half of the
Goth regiment to desert?" "The pope did
nothing of the sort. Half of the Goth
did not desert. More than a thousand
of its men were killed, wounded and
taken prisoners, and the Goth lost more
men in action than any other New York
regiment"

In an interview with Gen. Otis at
Manila he is reported to have said that
Aguinaldo is not so bad as he is painted.
Being asked how long it would take to
subdue the F'ilipinos, he turned around
in his chair, hesitated. and finally said:
II can talk no more today That was
last Saturday, and Gen. Otis has said
nothing since except to cable the names
of the brave American boys who volun-
teered to free the Cubans and lost their
lives in attempting to enslave the Fill
pinos in the name of liberty and human
ity.

policy by which England has built up
it's great colonial empire. AS virtual
dictator of the vast province wrested
from barbarism by the valor of British
arms, the Sirdar shows himself equal
to the still greater task of permanent
conquest through the agencies Of civili-
cation by an order whose wisdom, upon
mature reflection, must be apparent even
to Exeter Hall. After English author
lty and control are fully established and
the fanatical dervishes understand their
religion is to be respected and protected
by law, it will then be as safe to permit
missionary work in the Soudan as in
India. But at the present the order of
Lord Kitchener is eminently wise and
statesmanlike, and may be reflected up
on with profit by American churches al
ready preparing to enter upon mission
airy work in the Philippines.

Beef! Beef! Beef" was the cry that
assailed the ears Of Gen. Alger as he
was riding with the presidential party
in Boston to attend the banquet of the
Home Market Club. 1t is safe to say
that when Mckinley again goes swing
ing round the circle and inflicting his
platidinous speeches on an unoffending
public, he will leave the Michigan lum-
herman in Washington to help the beef
trust in getting Miles discharged from
his command in the army that escaped
starvation and death in Porto Rico.

According to reports from Washington
the senator's of the United States believe
that Admiral Schley is the real hero of
Santiago, and not Admiral Sampson, the
pet of the administration. Whatever the
senators may believe the people consider
Schley worthy of better treatment than
he has received from his naval rival
Sampson has been claiming the credit
due to schley and trying to bring him
into disrepute

Says the Farihault Pilot "Who says
Minnesota is an Anglo-SaXon state?
Why, genuine Anglo-SaXons are as
scarce in this state as Sioux Indians. If
all the human blood in Minnesota was
thrown into one vast reservoir you
would have to take a mscroscope to find
an Anglo-Saxon corpuscle in it. Some
one should gently whisper this fact in
the ear OF Cushman X. Davis"

We deem it proper to say that the best
and fullest reports Of the
recent receptions to William J..
Bryan in the Twin Cities ap-
peared in the columns of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune. Though that Republican
paper editorially opposes the principles
of the brilliant Nebraskan, yet it accu-
rately reported his speeches and gave
them to it's readers geographically
That is all that any reasonable Democrat
could expect from an organ Of the Nc
kinley administration.

The Pioneer Press of last Thursday
contained Washington dispatch aver
ring that Secretary Alger is soon to re-
sign. Commenting upon the news, the
P. p. says that it would certainly be
great relief to the administration of
President Mckinley il he would do so.
The Irish Standard is happy to agree
with the st. Paul organ of plutocracy,
and will say tina; the sooner the Michi-
gander is forced to resign, the better it
is not only for the administration, but
for the entire country. Such an incom-
petent man as Alscr should never have
been secretary OF war in any president 8
cabinet. AS Dooley says, he may do
for secretary Of wM' in 1mc OF peace,
but for "a secretary Of war" during an
active campaign lie is complete failure.

Murder at Burlington.

Carol Mays was murdered at the towr
wharf in Burlington on Thursday after
noon. The man was employed on the
steamboat John A. Warner, which was
loading truck at the time of the occur.
renee. The murder was the result of a
quarrel between Mays and colored man
named Amos Robinson. Mays was wheel
ing truck to the boat when he was inter
fered with by barrel of sugar which
Robinson put in his way Mays remon-
strated with Robinson and the latter at
once applied vile epithet to the other
man. Mays said he would not take that
from any one and struck Robinson in the
face. He then walked away, but Robin
son followed him and plunged knife in
to his side Mays staggered and fell,
rolling towards the edge of the wharf and
falling into the river.
Robinson, who had charge of an ex-
press wagon, returned to his work of load
ing as coolly as if nothing had happened
Officer Fitzpatrick was sent for and ar
rested Robinson, who was held to await
the action of the coroner
Coroner Wells took charge of the body
and held an inquest on Friday. Prescott
or Budd was present and Franklin c.
Woolman appeared for the prisoner. The
testimony was perfectly clear as to Rob
inson inficting the wound, but the medi-
cal testimony was to the effect that the
stab did not reach the heart, leading to
the impression that death ensued from
drowning The absence of water from
the dead mans lungs, however, was
against that theory. Prosecutor Budd
held that, in either case, Robinson was
the direct cause of death, and the jury so
decided
Robinson was conveyed to Jail He is
said to- be of an ugly disposition and has
provoked more than one quarrel
