FUSS AND PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Sometimes we are apt to mistake
 noise and fuss for public sen timent
 One kicker can raise enough dust to
 becloud a dozen men around him and
 make the people think he is the whole
 shcw,' but when the cloud clears
 away it reveals him at just his real
 strength. This has been shCiwn by
 recent contrasting events in Chicago.
 A score of college professors from the
 Chicago university and a few other cit
 izens calling themselves 'anti-impe---
 ialists," but who are in reality anti
 atmfnistra tion men, have bean hold
 ing meetings to denounce what they
 ca-A tae Mckinley colocta1 policy Al
 these meetings, which were fairly at
 tended, there was a great deal of
 noise accompanied by speeches and resolutions upbraiding the president and his cabinet, and the reader of the dispatches telling of these gatherings was Ted to believe that practically all
 Chicago was opposed to the campaign in the Philippines. Newspapers that
 have good political reasons for dis liking Mckinley referred to the meet ings as ''ominous" and it was inti- mated that beth the president and his policy had very few friends. Now for the contrast Three meetings were arranged to be held simulta- neously in Chicago to plt1test against the seditious sentiments of the admin istration haters, and the best kind of an opportunity was afforded to test the relative strength of the party which stands by our soldiers in the field and that which denounces them and their mission. Ten thousand peo- Die attended these meetings and cheered to the echo every mention Of the names of Dewey, Otis and McKin- ley. Ten thousand men who had heretofore maintained silence while Q small fraction of men had been making noise and kicking up dust took the pains to let their patrio&ism and fidelity to the American army be known i'll no uncertain sou1ld. The presidents Philippine policy was un- equivocally endorsed in ringing r2so- 1uttans, and the eminent speakers who ! urged them were almost carried off i their fCet by the enthusiasm Of the i e5. So much for the result 1 e1 the yellow campaign against the | president and the war department. |

CENSOR OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The Boston Herald is quite right in it's high opinion of the literary style cf the man who wrote the Gettysburg address. Cur contemporary remarks that it is dif1cult tc find better style of expression and reasoning than A5ra- ham Iinc01n's:
 'fIt was simple at times to hcme.i- ness; so was that of Benjamin Frank lin, indeed; but the manner in which Lincoln presented an argument was exquiaitely satisfactory and c0ncIus- ivP'
 To illustrate Lincoln's- power Of ex- preston, the Herald prints part of q letter of rebuke which Lincoln wrote to 2 general in the Union army who had objected to his war policy. Here is the passage:
 "Ycu think 1 could do better: there fore you blame me already. I think I could n-id do better; therefore | blanc you for blaming me. I under stand you now to be willing to accept the help of men who are not rePub.i- cans, provided they have heart in it.

I must also take that of others, and by the time 1 should reject all l should be advised to reject should have none left, re- plblicans or other5-nct even your u-Gf For be assured, my dear sir, there are men who have .'heart in 1t that think you are performing your part as poorly as you think 1 am per forming mine.

AUTOMATIC LETTER BOX.

In several of the ndH apartment

A would be philanthropist relates his

nest of little robins, which had by some
accident been deprived of their rightful
mothers care. He diligently set to
work digging angleworms, and sup
posed that he was fulfilling his whole
duty, when one Of the poor little songs

body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to tie con-
clusion that it must have died of starry
alton.
Deeply grieved at his shortcoming,
he redoubled his efforts, determined to
at least save the other two. It was not
long, however, before second one died,
evidently of the same malady. The good
man then resolved that, whatever the
third one died Of, it should not be

went to work in earnest. He kept on
with the angleworm diet until he found
