polite remark that great many men
could truthfully make to the grocer and
the provision dealer.

The man who is always punctual
never gets to place minute ahead

You can't offend a 14-year-old girl
by estimating her age two years too

The girl who leaves the point Of a

Nothing bears stronger witness to the

FREELAND, SEPTEMBER IS, 1899.


From the Philadelphia North American.
The Vorwaerts OF Berlin, which is the
organ of the Social Democracy, i'm
proves the Dreyfus occasion to make a
few remarks that will not be kindly re-
ceived by those to whom they are ad-
dressed The Vo71nderts is as much
shocked as any of its contemporaries by
the court-martial's infamous verdict,
but while it detests injustice it also dis
likes hypocrisy, or rather that clearness
OF sight as to others faults which so
frequently goes with blindness to ones
own. 1t reminds the European nations
that not one of them is without skele-
ton in its closet that, to the eye of the
moral anatomist, bears fundamental
resemblance to that which France has
exhibited to the world. England's
treatment OF the Beers moves the V0T-
aoderts to say that sin London an at
tempt is being made to strangle not one
innocent man, but a whole nation"
That is hard saying, but true. The
British excuses for setting out to rob
the Beers Of their country and their
independence are really not bit more
worthy of respect than those which
impelled the court-martial to condemn
Dreyfus, or which induce so many
Frenchmen to applaud that atrocity.
The Judges can plead that to have done
justice to Dreyfus would have involved
France in civil war, and, there
fore, that they were as patriots justified
in sacrificing him. The anti-Dreyfus-
ards in general have their sense OF
right and wrong perverted by an un-
reasoning and passionate devotion to
the army, whose honor they hold super
ior to any evidence as to the truth in
the Dreyfus case. The judges com
mitted horrible crime for Frances
sake and France approves the crime for
the army's sake.
England goes about her crime against
justice and human liberty in strictly
businesslike spirit. The Beers may
insist that they have a right to be
masters Of their country and themselves;
that their right to liberty and self
government is inalienable; that the just
powers Of government in any land are
derived from the consent of the govern
ed, and that to subjugate them by force
of arms is brutal tyranny.
England's answer to all that-her
actual answer, though not the one given
by her government and press-is simply
this: "You have very rich mines and
valuable lands. We shall take them
away from you because we are stronger
than you. 1t is true that in the process ot
exchange you must lose your liberty
but that circumstance, however regret
table, is an unavoidable incident of the
grand march of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
tion. II you resist we shall kill you"
Dreyfus is one and the Beers are
many, but the Beers have no more
chance to escape from the cold greed OF
England than Dreyfus had to get justice
from the Rennes court-martial.

A Greek Colony In Corsica.

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of Greek population with
its own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica Our inn is kept by a
Greek from Corfu, as his name, Cor
fiotti, tells us and as the loquacity Of
his wife would lead us to infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
cane into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles. who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cheris' ed.
Intermarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, in
spite of centuries of barbarian inrOads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller Of its eternal youth and its
unfailing characteristics w Westmins-

ANoLo-AmERlcAN CONSPIRACY

The Republican administration
at Washington has entered into a
dark lantern conspiracy that has
for its purpose the consummation
of some sort of an alliance with
England. From Mckinley down
to the custodian of the cuspidor
department every Republican in au-
thority at the capital is pushing
along the boom for better un-
derstanding with Great Britain. "
Joseph H. Choate, whose lforefath-
ers were tories during the war for
American independence, has been
sent to England as representative
of this country. The high joint
commission, born in treason to
the spirit of Americanism has late
ly been holding istar chamber ses-
sions under the wings of the White
House. One Charles Beresford,
the lineal descenGent of family
of outlaws and usurpers, is the
secret guest of those high in au-
thority. He has come to cement
the broken ties" that have made
this nation the marvel of the
world. The people cannot be blind
as to what is going on. Just keep
your eyes open and watch US be-
come tail to England's imperial
kite. To make us such is clearly
the purpose of Mckinley, Hanna.
Gage, Choate and Co.
The Democratic party will oppose
with all its might any scheme
that has for its object an alliance
with England or any other nation
outside the Americas. With the
exception of Russia and France we
have no real friends in Europe.
1t is to be hoped that those nations
will not take it that the present
antics at Washington represent the
real sentiment of the American
people. The people are with the
Democratic party on this question
by a majority of at least 10 to l.

Washington was buried in what !.
now known as the old vault, which i.
perhaps 900 feet away from his preser
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that a new family vault be
constructed after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid to
this request, however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole a skull which he supposed to be
that of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases, ''got drunk" and so his
secret was discovered, and the skull,
which proved to be that of Laurence
Washington instead, was returned.
This incident led to the final carrying
out of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built, and in 1881
his remains were removed to it. The old
vault was allowed to fall into state of
decay. and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around it, and it
now receives the same care as the new
tomb. b.-Exchange.

A Free ana Easy Governor.
Governor Roosevelt is a continl

Governor Roosevelt is continual
surprise TO the young men who think
that a chief magistrate is elected to
preserve proper form for them In some
respects the governor reminds fastidious
men of Andrew jackson, who had a
special aversion to the restrictions of
purely conventional society. Governor
Roosevelt, it is said, does not care for
a dress coat and feels much easier in a
loose flannel shirt and a sack. Those
who remember Governor Hoffman and
Governor Seymour at Albany, neither
of whom had half as much Knicker-
booker blood in him az Teddy, will re-
call the awful majesty which surround
ed the executive mansion when they
were there. An ordinary official had to
put on court dress to say good morn
ing to Governor Hoffman. All this has
melted away under the present regime
Governor Roosevelt has what the boys
call very delightful go as you please
gait. He is very apt to stop and shake
hands with laboring man who is in
his shirt sleeves, and some of his best
speeches have been made in a tweed
suit. If anybody is looking for style
and ceremony, he always seems to say:
''Oh, wait till my secretaries come upl
They will furnish all you want "

The two lions of New York this win

out to his cab, they threw down rugs for
him to walk on. One matinee girl held
warming pan in the cab till he got in I;
another took off her fur cape and put it
round his shoulders. As for Kipling he

Trade Union Success.

Some very edifying figures are fur
nished by the report which has been is
sued in England by the labor depart
ment of the board of trade This report
speaks well for organized labor and
shows very hopeful gain, not only in
dustrially, but morally. In 1892 the
total trade union membership was
800, 451. 1t declined steadily to 1, 404,
S9S in 1895, and it rose since then to
/. 900, 909 in 1897. Out of this last total
no fewer than 1853, 6O9 members be-
long to 100 principal unions. The rest
belong to 1, ,1S7 organizations, many of
them very small. The total income of
the 100 leading unions was in 1892 e1.-
455, SS5. and they now have a total re-
serve fund of over 60, 500. 900. These fig
ures are the more satisfactory in that
the period covers two of the severest
and costliest labor conflicts on record,
that of the Miners Federation and that
of the Amalgamated Engineers.
