Not Forced on the Country.

Mr. Turner denied the contention that the
acquisition of far-distant territory had been
forced upon this country by the arbitra-
ment of war. He maintained that victory
was not purchased at the cost of assim-
Hating into our race the conquered and
PROSTATE foe. This country was at liberty
to retain such foreign territory as it had
conquered if it so desired and such of it
as was suitable in soil, climate and inhabi-
tants, might want to keep: but he de-
MED that our only other recourse was to
give back the conquered territory to the
enemy.
IF we may keep it ourselves" said he,
I'VE may require it to be given to the peo-
pie who inhabit it. for the purpose of indie
peudence and liberty"
This he believed, was the proper course
to pursue in the case of the Philippines.
The sovereignty of this country would not
be impeached by such generous action. SO
far as other nations are concerned, our
sovereignty is limitless and illimitable. 1t
is no concern of other nations what We do
for our own national health.
The idea said he, that limitations on
our sovereign powers, when applied to our
own municipal concerns, limits the SOW
ereignty of the nation in the great fam y
of nations and puts it at disadvantage
there, has no foundation in fact"
The advice of Washington, he said, was
against "entangling alliances which might
overcome the great advantage of our de-
tached situation. Passing from the domain
of prudence to that of principle, Mr.. Turner
maintained that the proposition of power
urged by many breaks down every funda-
mental principle on which institutions
are founded. Under such a proposition the
principles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, that taxation without representation
is tyranny, and that the powers OF govern
ment are derived from the consent of the
governed could no longer be a guide to our
statesmen.
Senators may say" he declared that
their positions do not lead to those things
but there is only one escape from them-a
universal miscegenatiOn of blood, of re-
! Buddhists. Mohammedans ana Confucians
over whom it is proposed to extend our
protecting wing, and with whom it pro-
poses to attempt the process of deglutition
and digestion disguised under the Christian
and euDhoniOus name of benevolent as
Similation.' "

The Wisdom of the Fathers.

In conclusion, Mr.. Turner said: 1T is
well enough to hug the pleasing thought
that We are great people and that there
is no responsibility that can be thrust on
us which We cannot meet and face and ac-
cept with safety. That this is true all may
well believe. else our fathers fought and
wrought in vain. and we of this day are
degenerate children. But 1t is the height
of Quixotism and is the reverse of the
teachings of the fathers to go around in
the world hunting responsibilities and
counting dangers because we are able to
meet them.
Mr.. President. the American people are
not lacking in the faith and courage of the
fathers. which the senator from Connecti-
cut invokes. They have sometimes, how
ever. for a brief period been lacking in the
wisdom of the fathers. But in every case
the alteration has been temporary. When
the excitement or passion or interest which
led them aStray has subsidized or gone by
they have returned to that wisdom and con-
servatism always tempered with faith and
courage, which. like our free institutions is
the birthrisht they inherit from the fathers

The Contemplate Gossiper.

The most detestable of men is he
who will lie to gain advantage over
his fellowman as a revenge for some
imaginary or real injury, and which
en1nity rankles in his own bosom, and
thereby blasts the reputation of an
innocent person. If there is any more
deserving of the supreme contempt of
any community it is the libertine or
blackguard. The professional liar is
he who sits around the corner or
lounges about the street or store, or
at some public gathering, backing or
impeaching the character of some
other person. 1t matters not whether
the fiend be drunk or sober he is
guilty of most heinous crime, and is
most dangerous man in any COM
munity His only object is to drag
everybody down into the dirt where
he lives and moves, and where his
nastiness should create moral stencil
all around him. Whenever such hu-
man vultures exist in a community it
seems they have no trouble to gather
persons around them to listen while
pouring out the basest falsehoods and
their superabundance of false and
malicious statements. Persons of the
same ilk listen to the foul stream fl m
the scandal monger and never con-
denim, chide or discountenance their
villainous conduct, but give encour-
agement by their attention, laugh
or smile of approval, and thereby be-
come parties with them in their shame
and nastiness. Lying is of all mean
traits the most despicable. A theft is
not near SO dangerous to society as a
liar. We can protect ourselves against
thieves, but the liar can penetrate
and blast the most precious of our
possessions. If the liar profit by the
lie some people esteem him especially
clever and smart. Oh, shame, on
such a degrading mortal.

Oakland Sanitarium.

The citizens of Oakland and com
munity are getting quite used to the
phrase of Oakland Sanitarium. ." and
are beginning to feel that a humani-
tartan and beneficial institution of
no small proportions has materialized
into reality in their midst. A great
improvement in the way of magnif-
icent steam cheating plant, with two
large boilers, with conductors and
steam lines reaching all apartments.
has been made to the large and capa-
cious building. The fire was started
for the first time in the furnaces last
Thursday at one o'clock, and the
huge black column of smoke mount
ing up from the smoke stack announ-
ced to the people of Oakland that the.
sanitarium was ready for patients
and guests lat any time and at any
season of the year. And with this
delightful climate and institutional
advantages no want of the invalid
can be neglected. DR.. Longstreth,
the superintendent, is brisk, polite
and genial gentleman, full of business
and energy, and already has secured
the good will and confidence of the
community. Very many times we
have heard the people say "they like
the Doctor" and wish his institution
abundant success. The management
and employees as well have identified
themselves with moral and religious
work, which is highly appreciated by
the community. Several patients
have already been at the institution
and speak in highest terms of their
treatment. We understand that all
arrangements are being made to have
medical staff associated with the
sanitarium second to none in the land.

Great Output of Shad.

Mr.. A. F. George, commissioner OF
fisheries for the Western Shore OF
Maryland, has completed shad hatch
ing operations for this year, haying
planted 13,300,000 of the fish in the
rivers of the Western Shore, as fol
lows: Back river, 2,000,000; Middle
river, 100000; Patapsco, 100000;
Patuxent, 100000; Susquehanna,
100000; Severn, 100000; total, 49,
100000.
This is the largest number put on
the Western shore for number of
years. In 1894 there were planted
1,150,00O; in 1895, 1,45O,0O0; in 1896,
1907, 900; in 1897, 4,95O,OOO; total for
the four years, 1O,647,OOO In 1898 Mr..
George planted S,O75,OOO. This added
to the output for 1899, makes a total
for the two years of 1885, 900, as
against 10,647, 900 for the four previous
years, which is more than twice as
many.

cAPRoN's LIGHT BATTERY.
Sergeant John Harry Neff, a Kingwoo,
Boy. Who is Now in Manila.

Boy. Who is Now in Manila.
From the San Francisco Examiner
There is a lean-fianked, comely
young fellow at the Preside this week
who has the credit of making the most
remarkable shot ever scored under
actual conditions of warfare. This is
Sergeant John H. Neff, of Battery E,
First Artillery, better known as Cap
ron's Battery. This wonderful shot
was aimed by Sergeant Neff on the
morning of July 1st, last year, at the
flagstaff on the blockhouse or fort at
Ell Caney. The range was 2,500 yards,
or nearly mile and a half, and the
stick he aimed at was no thicker than
a mans arm. 1t was no fiuke, for he
announced his purpose in advance,
sand he cut the staff inSwo.
OSergeant Neff is a handsome young
Virginian of a peculiarly American
type, modest young fellow, with a
slight stutter and clear, steady eye.
Il was shooting above myself that
day." said Sergeant Neff. Il seemed
to have a streak of luck. After a
while General Lawton got me to do
some shooting for him. He lent Inc
his glasses to get the location of the
trenches. You see, the Spanish
trenches are not built up. They were
scooped out and the earth was carried
away so that they were hard to see
unless you could catch sight of the
raw edge Of newly turned ground.
You could not make them out at all
with the naked eye, but with the help
of the glasses you could sometimes
locate them. Then [ would mark
some larger object that could be seen
without glasses in line or nearly in
line with the place | wanted to hit,
and by doing a little figuring one could
generally manage to get there"
Sergeant Williams, likewise of the
Capron Battery, is the man who made
the famous shot at Ell Caney of which
people have heard so much. 1t was
at a longer range than Neff's flagstaff
shot, being $500 yards, not far short
of two miles. A troop of Spanish
cavalry was riding out of Ell Caney in
fancied security, when Williams
plunked bunch of shrapnell right in
the middle of the party, utterly
demoralizing the troop. How many
were killed is not known, because
they were carried away, but the
Amcffcans found half a dozen dead
horses on the spot next day.
Sergeant Neff will be remembered
by Oakland's citizens as a telegraph
operator here few years ago where
he made and retained the friendship
of many.

TWO SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENTS,

Within the last few days there have been
two Developments in New York among
Democrats which indicate that the nation
al campaign is approaching very rapidly.
one was the Inauguration of a movement
to elect free silver delegates to the
Democratic national convention, In the
event of the refusal of Tammany to in
dorse The Chicago platform. The other
was the step taken by sound-money Dem
ocrats TO bring ex-senator German to the
front as a Presidential candidate.
1t is quite safe to say that Mr. German
would not accept the nomination of a
small faction of the Democratic party for
President There is no DOUBT that he would
like TO be the candidate of a harmonious
and united party. and II he were chosen he
would make a splendid campaign. He is
one Of the best. If not the very best. politi.
cal manager in the country. And he has
hosts OF friends in the party Just now,
however, it doesn't look as II there were
much chance for him to be nominated for
President, stlI At is the unexpected that
hapgens-sometimes.
