but It may also be most profltably ex-
erted In encouraging confidence among
our people nt home. Certainty, no good
and only evil can come from words and
acts which tell rival nations that even a
portion of our people, however few, are
not IN full sympathy with our govern
ment, or what Is worse, that any Amer
leans actually do sympathize with our
cottutry's enemies. Such n course can
not fail to weaken confidence and en-
barrass the executive power. Those
who Insist that the power OF the United
States Is SO great that 1t must always
triumph will admit that difficulties or
obstacles created by some OF our own
people Will have the effect OF retard!nH
at least In some degree, the prompt and
happy restoration to perfect and lasting
peace.
Il am one OF those who firmly be-
llere that whatever IS. is right, and I
cannot doubt but when conditions ore
thrust upon country by n course OF
events following well Judged and
righteous action on the part OF the peo-
pie and the government the consequence
could not be other than beneficial, not
only to the people OF our own country,
but to the world at large.
There Is one sentiment which should
be impressed on every mind and In
stilled Into every heart:
My country. muy she always be
right, but right or wrong, my country"

WAYNEsBURG, Pa, May So-
Doubtless never before was Memorial
Day so generally observed in Greene
county as It was to-day. The fact that
this county has full company In far
off Manila as company X, OF the gallant
Tenth Pennsylvania, Inspired our peo-
pie to renewed efforts In paying tribute
to the memory Of the defenders OF the
nation and those who offered them
selves willingly to support the demands
OF the nation In giving to an oppressed
people liberty.
The orator Of the occasion to-day was
Lieutenant +. II. Crago, OF Wheeling.
This is Lieut.. Crago's native county
and OF course the professor felt an in
spIration by the presence Of his school
mates, comrades and friends. He ten
derly referred to his college days In
INWaynesburg. the scenes of his childhood
and youth. and his response, with his
associates. to the nations call for de-
tenders of the Union.
1t may not be out OF place 10 state
that Prof. Crago was q fearless and
brave soldier, as Is his nephew, Capt.
Thomas S. Crago. OF Company X, Tenth
Pennsylvania. who made grand record
In the Philippines.

The situation In the Philippines was

1utant General Corbfn. In view OF the
more or less alarming reports which
have been sent 10 the United States
from Manila. 1t Is important TO know
that the President does not share In

have naturally created. General Otis
has kept In close touch with the author

position which the press reports seem
to Indicate 1t Is felt that he would not
hesitate about making his dilemma
known.
On the contrary, the advlces received
from him show that he Is not In need Of

bled that the press representations OF
the activity of the insurgents south OF
Manila have been greatly exaggerated,
and he thinks that $4,000 men will be
ample to meet all requirements.
