Anti.TmperIalist Argument.

FROM the Meriden Conn Daily Journal
1t will be remembered that when
members al the anti imperialist league
recently called upon President Mckinley
and protested against the retention of
the Philippines. the president heard
them very patiently to the end and then
asked them what they would advise him
to do with the islands-he was open TO
any suggestion only the one that they
be returned TO Spain. Now comes the
reply to the presidents question. 1t is
from one Of the leading Massachusetts,
sntis-Charles Francis Adams. He
says:
1--WE propose to pursue towards the
Antilles ard the Philippines the same
common sense course and truly Ameri-
can policy which were by us heretofore
pursued with such signal success in the
cases Of Hayti and Mexico. both inhab-
tied by people equally unfit for self gov
ernment and geographically mnch closer
to ourselves. We propose to guarantee
them against outside meddling, and.
above all. from 'tutelage. and make
them. by walking, learn TO walk alone. -
Mr.. Adams further advises:
Having relieved the Spanish islands
from the dominion of Spain, we should
declare concerning them policy Of
hands Of. both on our own part and
on the part Of other powers. We should
say that the independence of those is.
lands Is guaranteed by us under the
treaty we have entered into. and then
lsave them. Just as we have left Hayti
and Just as we left Mexico, TO adopt for
themselves such form OF government as
tho people thereof are ripe for. In the
case Of Mexico and the case OF Hayti we
have not found 1t necessary to interfere
ever. or at all. II is not yet apparent
why we should find 1t necessary TO in
terfere with islands so much more re-
mote from us than Hsyti and Mexico as
are the Philippines.
This policy OF hands of and walk
alone. continues Mr.. Adams, is dis
tinctly American; II Is not European
not even British. 1t recognizes the
principles Of our Declaration of Indepen-
dsnce. 1t recognizes the truth that all
Just governments exist by the consent OF
the governed. 1t recognizes the exist
ence Of the Monroe doctrine. In word
IL recognizes every principle and prece-
dent. whether natural or historical.
which has from the beginning lain at the
foundation Of our American policy II
docs not attempt the hypocritical con-
tradiction in terms OF pretending to
elevate a people into self sustaining
condition through the lead-string pro
cess OF 'tutelage. IL appeals to our
historical experience. applying 10 pres
ent conditions the lessons OF Hayti,
Mexico and Venezuela. In dealing with
those cases. we did not find great
standing army or an enormous navy
necessary and, If not then. why nowf

Later In the day the gloom that had
been cast over the community by the
death Of Mrs. Bourland was intensified
by the announcement that the spirit of
Mrs. ID. A Pierce. after struggle of
several days between life and death had
been called over the river from whence
there is no return and that happy
home had been ruthlessly destroyed by
the hand of death.
While her demise did not come unex
pected the blow Is hard one to the
devoted husband and relatives. who had
hoped against hope, and who when the
dread hour came felt that their affiiction
was almost unbe arabic.
We know that it Is useless for us to
offer condolences for they cannot ease
the poignant sorrow, but our hope is
that the healing hand Of time will
smooth over the wounds which are be-
yond the power of human hands and
hearts to heal In their sad bereave
ment the sorrowing husband and family
have the most heartfelt sympathy of
our community.
At two o. clock the funeral cortege
started for the NJ. Z. church where the
services had been announced to be held.
At the church had assembled the friends
OF the diseased to pay their last re-
spects. and the esteem in which she was
held was shown by the large concourse
of people The services we're conducted
by Revs. Bascom of Van Buren and
Fletcher and Goddard of Fort Smith.
AS the cortege began to move toward
the cemetery the heavens which had
been weeping all forenoon lightened up
and the sun burst forth as if to dry the
tears of the sorrow stricken relatives
and symbolical of the transition Of the
dead from this vale of tears to the
brighter beyond. The remains were
accompanied to their last resting place
by large concourse of friends, where
after short service they were laid to
eternal rest

The Angel of Death.

Twice within the short space Of = few
short hours the grim reaper entered two
happy homes and caused sorrow and
heartsches where but a few days before
everything had been bright and cheer
f1l.
Early Monday morning our coman
ity was shocked by the announcement
that Mrs A Il Bourland had passed
away But few, aside from the imme-
diste friends Of the family. were aware
that slIe was I'll aud the shock came en-
tireIy unexpected.
Mrs. 4. NJ Boarland was born in
Kentucky in. 1912. and in early life
moved to Arkansas. In 1854 she was
married to Dr.. A. II. BouFlsnd at aul
berry and since 1855 she has been a
resident Of Van Baren.
For number Of years past she has
been more or less al invalid and for a
portion Of that time was nearly bereft
of her eyestght. but. nevertheless. she
was always cheerful and wont to look
on the bright side Of life.
Funeral services were held at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church at 10
An. Tuesday. Considering the con
diti0n Of the weather, quite a number
Of the friends Of the deceased and family
had assembled to pay their last respect
TO the diseased Rev. Wall delivered
the funeral sermon which was replete
with much deep thought. dwelling in a
beautiful manner on the character of
the deceased who while retiring in her
manner possessed those traits which
make home all that the word implies.
In the language Of Bro. Wall. how
much better for this world II wives and
mothers would more generally emulate
her example 10 that respect.
To the husband the loss of helpmate
who has gone down life 3 pathway with
him. sharing bis joys and sorrows. is a
great one. but his character il not such
that it will be swaYed by unreasoning
grief and be will find consolation in the
pursuit Of those themes in which during
her life Mrs. Bourland took such deep
interest.
To the two daughters our community
extends its sincerest condolences in the
loss of a mother. hoping that Time 8
gentle hand will assuage the grief which
now hangs 80 heavily over them.

RELEASED ON PAROLE,
Court Allows Gaiuhis Time to Arrange Hts
wIfe's Funeral.

The HERALD yesterday published an ao-
count of the distress of four children at Lost
Creek No 2 through the imprisonment OF
their father Enoch Galunis, and death OF
the mother and stated that movement was
on foot to at least secure a temporary release
of the prisoner. The movement was sue
cessfdl one.
Yesterday afternoon the counsel for
Galunis went before the court and
stated the facts of the case. 1t was
shown that the mother died on Tuesday
night, last, and four children ranging from
4 to Is years of age were left without
guardians or assistance to prepare for the
funeral. The court took u humane view of
the matter and consulted with the District
Attorneys office and Warden Levan, which
resulted in an understanding that Galunis be
released on parole, that he may arrange for
and attend the funeral of his wife, and also
prepare for the care of his children until he
serves the iive-month balance of his eight
month sentence. Galunis is TO return to the
Jail next Saturday Meanwhile he will store
away his household goods and take his
children to the almshouse at Schuylkill
Haven, where they will remain in care of the
county until the fathers sentence expires.

THE SOLDIERS RETURN.
Delays ON the Homeward Journey Spoil
the Reception.

The members of Companies E, F and H,
Sth Regt., Pa. Vol, have arrived at their
respective homes from Camp Mckenzie,
Georgia, after an absence Of almost a year.
Elaborate arrangements had been made at
Mahanoy City, Girardville and Pottsville for
the reception of the respective regiments,
but the unfortunate delays enroute spoiled
many Of the plans, and the demonstra-
tions were not equal to those intended.
Still the receptions were of a sufficiently cor
dial and patriotic character to make the sol
diers feel that they were welcome home and
their service to the country was well appre-
ciated by their townsmen.
Co. E arrived at Mahanoy City at 41O r.
m. By that hour the big parade contem-
plated had been abandoned, yet there were
about a thousand people at the p. & r.
station to receive the soldiers. Under escort
of ex-members Of Co. Il and the
Citizens band the returning soldiers
paraded by a circuitous route to Armory hall
As the line passed the headquarters of the
Young Mems Republican Club there was a
grand display of fireworks. In the upper
assembly room of Armory hall the soldiers
took seats in front of platform, from which
an enthusiastic address of welcome was de-
livered by John w. Parker, editor of the
Mahanoy City Record. R. p, Schwartz ESQ,
responded in behalf of the company, after
which there was an adjournment to the lower
hall, where turkey supper was in waiting.
The feast lacked the freshness that it would
have had IF the soldiers had arrived at the
time expected, but it was their first meal at
home in nearly twelve months. and they
seemed to enjoy it hugely.
Co. II arrived at Pottsville at o'clock this
morning and Co. F got to Girardville at
about 4:4O. Co. reached Tamaqua at about
$40. Cordial receptions were extended at
each place and the soldiers were royalty
teasted before being allowed to go to their
respective homes.

An Echo From the Grave.

From Tamaqua Register.
The big fire which visited Shenandoah on
Friday morning again illustrates the himsi,
ness and unsubstantiality of most buildings
erected in the coal towns. Shenandoah, like
Mahanoy City, sprang up very quickly. The
coal deposits in these places on being de-
veloped caused large influx of labor and big
profits being realized in real estate, lots were
quickly purchased and many houses erected
at almost ridiculously low figures. entirely
inconsistent with good workmanship. Nearly
all the structures have been built of frame
and very close to one another. The conse-
quence of this lack of foresight in not pro
yiding some means to prevent the spread of
fires is always disastrous. Many and great
confagrations is the direct result Of this in
judiciousness, or greed, or, perhaps, both.
