EDITORIAL.
Secretary A1ger is on the Keep him going.
Do you hate the saloon more than you hate the
Prohibition party?
The more and greater the difficulties in our way,
the greater will be our triumph.
The public press never gave much space to
the liquor issue as now. 4
Our Christian President is causing much
trouble, suppose we try sinner next time.
When workingmen mass their ballots against
the saloons there will be few prison-made garments
to boycott
President Mckinley now thinks he will visit
Minnesota about the middle of August If he is
coming at that time in honor Of the birthday OF

citation of him than now There not few, not

Of opinion.
The pitiableness of the spectacle Of big, strong
with two good hands begging at back doors for
"handout" is only equalled by that of the church
in the United States and Canada pitifully impOfng
the politicians to protect them and their children
from the saloon when in the very hands of the sup
plants are the ballots which could smash the IL
quor traffic at blow.
Secretary A1ger makes the astonishing plea that
he has jurisdiction in the of the sale of beer
in the canteens and is able discontn-
uance. Yet General Orders No. 81 directs command
of all independent commands to restrict to
tire1y prohibit the sale of wines if the well

such action Can officer abolish the sale of Ii
quors when the secretary of cannot do it? AS
the New Voice suggests eff Secretary A1ger cannot

dent Mckinley"
The young people moving against the saloon.
The Demorest and W. c. T. U. contests in oratory
have enlisted large numbers of them. The Young
Peoples Christian Temperance Union is agitating
law enforcement and the million voters agreement

of any party which is not committed to saloon

BRIEF AND BRAINY.

A radical man over in Ohio says sThe worst
saloon keepers those who keep the saloons going
by their votes" Well, that is sufficiently strong
for men to stop and think about any way.-R. J.
Hall, Ind. State Chairman.
"The politicians who are now in power, cheap as
they are and weak would declare forthwith for pro-
hibition if they believed, feared, that every
Christian voter in the land would, on election day,
pay his vows unto the Most High-Jno. G.. Woolley.
serious questions Of human progress go unanswered
by the church, though her income should far ex-
coed her expenditure, and hearers should crowd
each other the streets, so long she will not

who was in command, reporting to
General Otis at midnight. The Twen-
tieth Infantry lands to-day.
The strict precautions taken last
night by the American authorities for
the prevention of renewal of the fires
and disturbances proved effective.
There were only two small fires in the
Santa Cruz and Pendacan districts.
The streets were deserted at an early
hour.
Tondo district is now cleared of reb-
els Numerous arrests of suspected ma
tives have been made.
1t is impossible to praise too highly
the scheme of General Hughes, Provost
Marshal, for the prevention of fires, the
re-esta ablishment of order within the
city and the defeat of the attempted
uprising He has been working contin-
uously for two days and nights, In spite
of injury from fall.
Sharpshooting, which has been going
on in various parts of the city, has
practically ceased, but there Is contin

four were wounded this morning.
The church of San Francisco del

Despite the excitement of the past
two days business is proceeding as
usual, and there is general confidence
in the ability of the authorities to
maintain order.

REPUBLIC OF FRANCE
IN SMALL DANGER

DARIS, Feb. AN. Paul
| Deroulede is trying hard to
turn his blunder into an act OF
heroisn. It was apparently the
Governments wish to let him
down SO easily that only the RI
diculous side of his escapade
would strike the people. There
is only amusement felt at the way
in which he walked into the open
arms of the police just at the mo-
ment when the authorities were
wondering how to prevent him
doing mischief without at the
same time adding to his impor-
tance in the eyes of the populace.
His grotesque appeal of yester-
day gave him fine opportun-
ity. After haranguing General
Roget to save France from some
thing which he was too excited to
specify definitely, M. Deroulede
committed the blunder of refus-
ing to leave the barracks when
ordered to do so, and was
promptly arrested on the ridicu-
lous charge of illegal trespass.
When Deroulede was told by
M. Cochefert, Chief de la Police
de Surete, last night what the ac-
cusation against him was he was
stupefed with indignation. To
dream of revolution and be ar

rested for trespassing was too
much for his ebullient nature,
and he broke out with an lnd1g-
nant protest, declaring that he
had attempted to induce the sol
diery to join him in overthrowing
the parliamentary republic and
replacing it with some embryonic
monstrosity which he calls a
"plebescitary republic" )" pre-
sumably meaning form OF gov
ernment in which he would ap-
peal to the people represented by
the gang that is always at his
heels upon every important ques-
ton.
Perhaps the truth is he saw
that the contempt with which the
Government was preparing to
treat his abortive coup would
kill him politically, SO he made a
bid for a martyrs crown by
pleading guilty to the serious
crime of sedition, for which the
code provides punishment of
from three months to two years
Imprisonment with a fine of 5000
francs. M. Deroulede has de-
clared his offense and signed his

SPANISH STATESMEN
DISCUSS PEACE TREATY

MADRID, Feb. 24.-In the. Chamber
of Deputies to-day the debate upon the
peace treaty was continued. The Min

preached Senior Silveala, the Conserva-

statesman
Senior Moret y Prendergast, former
Minister for the Colonies, also defended
himself against Senior Silveala's at
tack, declaring that the destruction of
the United States battleship Maine was
the first cause of the war. He said that
when General Lee visited the battleship
after the explosion the latter exclaimed

to greatly increase the burden of our
taxation. But the President committed
a fatal error. He wrote into that treaty
the absolute transfer of Spanish SOW

selves and the payment of s2O,Oo0,0OO as
consideration for the eession. Then
he issued to the people of the Philip
