AT a meeting OF the New England
Society, last Friday night, one of the
speakers read an alleged letter from
Gen. Lawton, in which occurred this
remark: "If / am shot by Filipino
bullet, it might as we'll come from one
of my own men, because l know from
observations confirmed by captured
prisoners that the continuance of fight.
ing is chiefly due to reports that are
sent out from America.
1t is decidedly significant that this
letter should not have made its appear
ance until Immediately after the death
of Gen. Lawton, and that it should
have contained this Remarkably
effective" allusion TO the probability
of the writer being shot down by
Filipino bullet. If the reports about
Gen. Lawton's characteristics are cor
rect, this is about the last expression
he would have made, for his indifference
to danger in battle and his freedom
from all forobodines of death were con-
| spicuous.
AS fact, this most timely and ap.
propriate" letter from Gen. Lawton
has much the appearance of letter
manufactured for the occasion, the un
timely death of the bravo general
having rendered detection or official
denial practically impossible.
But, whether tho letter is genuine or
a forgery makes no difference. Gen.
Lawton's opinion of the merits of the
war were made clear In his remark To
the Rev. Potter MacQueen, the Congrega.
tionalist minister, that it was a
"damnable war" His duty as a
soldier, however, kept him at the dis.
tasteful work, and lie performed this
duty thoroughly and with great bravery.
As to the intimation that the Filipinos
are encouraged by what they hear o.
public sentiment in this country, i
will not be surprising II this shonlt
prove TO be true. We're not tho Amcri
can revolutionists encouraged over tn,
brave stand taken in their favor b.

Pitt, and others of his class?
? Attempts to impair the honest senti

Russia TO Adopt Grsror,au calendar.

For more than a century the Gre
gorian Calendar has been in use in all
the civilized countries Of the world save
Russia. and il is reported that Russia
will soon adopt it, says the Baltimore
Sun. The correction of the calendar,
which had become wrong by 10 days,
was made by Pope Gregory 10 1852. He
made March 2lst the date of the veInal
equinox, that being the day 1T fell
upon in the year 1875, when the Council
of Nice met. The Gregorian Calendar
not only corrected the Julian Calendar,
but established rule which will keep
the common year true to the solar year
for long time to come. Tho slight
error in the present length of the year
will amount to only one day in over
5000 years. All the Roman Catholic
countries Of Europe adopted the Gre
gorian Calendar as soon as it was pro-
muigated; Denmark and the Protestant
States of Germany made the change In
100, and England, which is always
conservative even when conserving
error, did not accept the new calendar
until 1862. BY that time the dates
were II days out of gear.
Tho reform was accomplished after a
great struggle in Parliament, and there
was popular outcry against the loss oil
the IL days, many ignorant people be-
lieving that their lives would be
shortened to that extent. Quo member
of the House of Commons who had
voted for the change was defeated fol
re-election because of the II days HI
had taken from the people. The errol
of computation by the old Julian Calen
dar, which is now in use in Russia
amounts to about day in a century
When the new calendar was adopted
the error had amounted 10 about II
days, and that number was dropped.
When England made the change !
days had to be dropped, and now th
number has increased 10 II, SO Russi
will have to eliminate that number o
days in order to mako the vernal equine
fall on March 2lst, instead of April I'd
as it does now. 1t is sud the ne,
! style will be adopted so as to go int
effect the first day of the twentiet
: century. January LIST, 1901. 1t will b
easy enough to make the law, but tn
change at first will be accompanied b
innumerable vacations.

Even the suggestion of unity and
harmony in the Democratic party of
Delaware is not pleasing to the Morn
ing News, doubtless for the reason that
it knows that such unity and harmony
would make the State surely Demo-
cratic, whether the Republican factions
come together or keep apart. Naturally,
therefore, it attempts to discredit any
suggestions in the direction of securing
Democratic unity by ignoring the
questions that have divided the Demo-
cracy of the country in tho past.
1t pleases our morning contemporary
to insist that "the first Democratic
State Convention held in Delaware in
1896 gave honest money half hearted
endorsement. What nonsense it is to
say this, in the face of the facts. That
Democratic State Convention declared
unequivocally in favor "of theipresent
monetary standard, and against the free
coinage of silver Mt any ratio and the
further compulsory purchase of silver
bullion" Is there anything half
hearted" about this? Not for an in
stant 1t was the most emphatic dec
laration of that year in favor Of honest
money, and shone forth conspicuous by
contrast with the declaration Of the
Republican National Convention at St.
Louis, where President Mckinley was
nominated, in favor of free silver coin
age by international agreement.
The Gazette sacrifices not an iota
of its sound money principles by advis-
| ing the Democrats of Delaware to
utterly ignore the issues OF Organism
and free silver coinage at their State
conventions of next year. On the con-
trary, il will reiterate this advice, in
the interest of sound money. The party
has made its declaration on this sub.
ject, and can afford to stand by it.
And when the issue of free silver
coinage shall have been buried by the
enactment of the Gold Standard law by
Congress. as it will be, it would be the
depth of folly for the Democrats Of
Delaware to attempt to resurrect tht
dead issue and fasten their party or
ganization to a political corpse.
We are perfectly willing, as thu
News suggests, while praising thu
Louisiana Democrats for ignoring
Bryan, to go further and demand "tha
the Democratic party next year nomi
nate a Democrat who is sound OIL
financial questions, and one who coult
be trusted, in tho event Of his election
to preserve the best interests Of tn,
country" With all our heart and sou
we urge the Democratic party to d.
this very thing. If it does, there vii
be no question OF the result Of the mex
: national election. The party of Nc
, Kiney and Mark Hanna. the party o
, expansion, Imperialism and militarism
the party that repudiates the Declare
tion Of Independence and tiamples tn
Constitution of the United State
under foot. will be buried zone hundre
thousand fathoms Deep beneath tn
. adverse votes of an indignant peopl
: who still revere liberty and love pa
triotism. 49,

A local Democratic orator who spoke
vigorously, IL not effectively, for Bryan
and free silver coinage during the cam
paign OF 1886, is now on record as re-
Gently having made the declaration

conversion IS an encouraging instance

fair to put Tho Democratic party on its

Thus far about $4,000 pension appli-
cations for services in the war against
Spain and the war in the Philippines
have been filed in the pension Office at
Washington, and there arc thousands
to follow. The claims arising out of
the Spanish war may be looked upon
with complaoency, but those growing
out of the war in the Philippines will
ever remain financial monument Of
the folly and cruelty Of the Mckinley
administration. Every dollar of the
pensions allowed on account of this
war will be an extravaganza Of national
expenditure that ought to have been
and could have been avoided.

paper that vigorously opposes the

significant in this connection that these

The vigorous squirming the Union
Republican organs at every refer
ence to the manner in which they were
repudiated by the Republican National
Committee, and their denials that
the committee practically kicked them
out of the door, show how severely
they were hurt by that summary pro-
ceeding. But, twist and squirm as
they may, they cannot successfully con-
tradict tho story of their doep humilia-
tion. They were fatty repudiated, and

Who wrote the financial plank of the
Republican party, adopted at the st.
Louis convention on 1896, is now a
burning question in Republican cir
Giles, with Editor Kohlsaat at Chicago,
Senator Foraker Of Ohio and others as
claimants. As this financial plank was
a inakeshift and an evasion, and favored
free silver coinage by international
agreement, its author, whoever he may
be. ought TO be ashamed Of his work,
instead of fighting for recognition.
