Somebody has been locking up the
family record Of one Of the most &C.
tive officials of the Anti-fmperialistic
League, of Boston, which made itself
ridiculous by demanding the impeach-
ment of President Mckinley for max
ing war on the Filipinos and it was
discovered that his great-grand
father was Tory, once ordered out
of Boston by Gen. Washington; that
both of his grand fathers opposed the
war OF 1912, and one was n member
oftbe notorious Hartford convention;
that his father bitterly denounced
the war with Mexico, and that both
he and his father were copper heads
in the civil war. Americans want no
advice from that sort of stock.

A Missourian In Porto Rico.

boy who is serving with the Fiftl
cavalry in Porto Eico, writes from

country of the island is magnificent
grand. sublime. 1t is very mount

mountains, which, how ever, is a very
difficult task. The geranium, four

rose grow wild here. A curious tree
grows about five feet high with many
long, smooth, green branches like
snakes and if anything touches them
they cuil up. The mahogany, rose
and redwood are also to be found.
The Spanish power has kept the Ma
tives of Porto Rico in ignorance of
the outer world. They Lave the

natives build their houses of bamboo
poles, cane grass and date palm bark.
Sunday is their great day of sport.
That is the day for their cock fights,
bull fights, dancing and gambling
games. The military government has
prohibited bull fighting. 1 saw one
fight. On Sunday the poore. classes
assemble in the plaza and give their
children away. Their way of bury.
ing their dead is curious. A coffin is
rented for the corpse to be carried to
the cemetery. Two or four natives
carry it on their heads or fastened 10
two bamboo poles. The corpse is
taken out of the coffin and buried
about two feet. If the rent for the
burial lot is hot paid within a certain
time tie body is dug up and thrown
away. Caley cemetery contains
about two acres, surrounded by
stone wall ten feet high and three
feet thick. At the entrance is a large
stone building for persons who are
too old to take care of themselves.

editor of the Richmond ConservatOr.
lie is one from principle, not for pelf.
lie has supported The party's plat
forms, fought its battles, rejoiced in
its victories and grieved over its de-
feats, sincerely believing that in its
success lay the surest promise of pro-
gress and prosperity for both indi-
viduai and nation. But his hopes have
yielded small fruition. lie is dis
couraged. disgusted and well nigh
hopeless, and does not hesitate to SO
express himself in print. Hear him:
ave had hoped that the old Demo-
cratic party would secure and hold
the reins of this government as it
once did, but our hopes have almost
faded. away. In years gone by it
seemed te be the aim of every true
Democtat to sacrifice his own inter-
ests for those of his party, but that
day has passed and men no longer
act upon that theory. 1t is self. and
self only, at the sacrifice of every
principle that is sacred to a man who
loves time>honored Democracy and
patriotism. May God speed the day
when demagogues and hypocrites
cease to WELD the influence they now
have in our political gatherings, and
when true men will be called to take
their places.o

Another silvef Desertes.
rom the Chicago Times Herald.

|
Judge Worthiugton's letter to NJ
w. Meagher is an addition to the
rapidly accumulating evidence tha,
the Democrats are utterly weary OF
the hoodoo silver issue. The writer
helped to frame the l6 to platform,
and it might be supposed that he
would cling to it, ratio and all, so
long as it had spark of vitality left.
But he is anxious to hedge and to
make ready for new start in 1900.
lie maintains that although the ratio
was applicable three years ago it is
no longer so. Its sanctity bas de-
parted and it is not all essential factor
in bimetallisn.
But bimc. allism itselfis still sacred.
This is reservation to prevent too
great an appearance of economic
gymnastics. II is sacred and we
should have free coinage Of both gold
aud silver, based OH the market value
Of tue bullion. What the unit OF VAL
ue would be the Judge does not say,
since he prefers to remain vaguely BIZ
metallic Oh that point.
The economic aspects of the case
are, after all, secondary to the politi-
cal aspects. 1t is not "practical poll.
tics" to invite such another division
of the party as occurred in 1896, and
this is what 16 To does. There is
nothing to indicate that the ratio has
gained TRENDS. "It is now more than
ever a question of debate among De-
mocra:s," and it is assuredly unwise
"to insist upon a condition coupled
to principle that will be likely to
defeat both principle and condition."
Therefore let US throw it over. Let
us return to the gOOd old-fashiOned
plan which was SO popular when both
parties were wont to dodge the
money question with meaningless b
metallic declarations. And while we
blow softly on the bimetallic whistle
we can start the caliiope going on
trusts, imperialism and the Declara-
ton of Independence. That stirring
music will bring the gold Democrats
back and perhaps convert minority
into majority.
Of the positive import cf the
judges new issues it is not necessary
to speak, since the significance of his
letter consists only in the recognition
that silver is dead. lie joins with
Judge Mcconnell and with the ban
queters in New York and Milwaukee.
lie sees what is apparent to every
man in the country who is not be.
logged by prejudices or rendered Oh
situate by foolish Dedication to con-
sistency. The party that adopts the
money plank of the Chicago platform
will commit suicide.
Hence his desertion and the deser-
tion of others which is constantly
sapping the strength Of the radicals
of 1896 and making it clear that the
uncompromising silver Democrats
are far less likely to capture nation
al convention now than they were
when q gold Democratic administra.

The Pension Law Changes.

There is one especially good pro-
vision in the amendment to the pen
sion law which were made in a bill
which quietly went through Congress
in the closing days of the session. 1t
provides briefly that where pen
sioner of the United States wilfully
neglects his vile or offspring, then
the commissioner of pensions upon
being satisfied of the fact, shall take
one-half of such pension due and de-
vote it to their maintenance. The
necessity of such provision has been
made plain in number OF cases that
have come to the attention Of the pre-
sent pension bureau.
The new law also contains a pro-
viso that when a soldier or sailor en-
ters into state home as an inmate
One-hslf Of his pension accruing dur
ing his residence therein shall be
paid to his wife or to his mother or
minor children, unless the same be
inmates of the same institution. 1t
further provides that where the PEN
siOner becomes an inmate of a nation
al soldiers home .one-half the pen
sion drawn in his behalf during his
residence there shall be paid by the
treasurer of that institution to the
pensioners wife or to the legal
guardian Of the minor child or
children.
There is a provision in the law
which, 1t Is claimed, will prevent
young women from marrying old
soldiers with one foot in the grave,
for no other purpose only to fall heir
to the soldiers pension. Com. Evans
has time and again called attention
to this practice, which has cost the
millions of dollars and
in numerous reports and rccommen-
dations 10 Congress he has urged
that some provision be enacted to
prohibit such marriages -Ex.
