1t actually claims to find evidence that
President Mckinley has so far usurped
powers not given to him to exercise
that he ought to be tried for treason
It is difficult to treat such onslaughts
seriously. Here we have a newspaper
claiming to be an exponent of public
opinion excitedly claiming that the
President is waging war against the
ful order or necessity; that he has put
under his heel 1.-THE fundamental prin-
ciples of the Declaration of Independ-
ence upon which the Government was
founded; that he has been and is now
'.waging a war unjust, cruel and con-
questing, for the avowed purpose OF
subjugating an alien people who have
never acknowledged our authority"
If it were possible to establish ra-
tional relation between the facts and
the intelligence of the Herald" 1T
would not be difficult to establish in its
own mind the truth that the President
has been doing none of the things
charged; that he is not the bold, bad.

performing his duty under the law and
the special direction of Congress; that
he has no more authority to recognize
the independence of Aguinaldo's So
called Government than has the Her
ald"; that in fact he is not waging war
against the people Of the Philippines
nor a majority of them, nor one-fourth
of them, not even against one-sixth of
them, for more than five-sixths Of the
people are at peace with US, acknowl-
edge our authority and accept the pro-
lection Of the flag, and large bodies of
them are fighting insurrection side by
side with the boys in blue and under

The Learned Barber.

When a famous archaeologist went
into his club the other afternoon his
erudite countenance was ornamented at
several points with sticking plaster and
there was a general inquiry among his
friends as to what was the matter.

Good gracious! Where were you
shaved?" asked one of the younger

took double first class at Oxford, that
he studied at Heidelberg afterward and
spent several years in other foreign ed

own knowledge that he has contributed
scientific articles to our best magazines
and has numbered among his intimate
friends men of the highest social and
scientific standing. And yet" solilo-
quized the savant, ''he can't shave a
man decently.''
BY Jove!" exclaimed the young
member, in establishment. What is

plishments?"
"Oh! he isn't barber!' said the

HAS UTAH KEPT FAITH?

The case of Congressman Roberts IS
broader scope. 1t is commanding
surprisingly large share of public at
tention. and is debated more than any
other public question just now, the
war in the Philippines alone excepted.
1t has revived the inquiry all over the
country "is polygamy extirpated in
Utah?" II we are to believe reports
from that State the answer must not
only be in the negative, but it is to
be added that it is promoted in defiance
of the law and the pledge under which
the State was admitted into the Union.
There is a steady run of cases, we are
told, in the Utah courts of men ar
rested for the polygamous offense. The
Salt Lake Tribune" of a recent date
declared itself in this language:
Four years ago the Tribune" ex-
pressed the belief that there was not
a man, woman or child in Utah, who
for moment thought that there was
any agreement or thought of restoring
proper to say that then, because the
chief of the church had said it should
cease. The first Presidency and all
the apostles had certified that agree
ment at the polls and we thought it
was all sincere. 1t was the treaty Of
peace which the Mormon chiefs made
with the Government of the United
States. and we thought their sense of
honor and their business acumen would
enforce it. Since then apostles and
Bishops have taken more wives. Since
then thousand children have been
born in Utah in polygamy, and it only
proves that the Gentiles four years
ago were deceived.
If this is truth, if the Tribune" has
not exaggerated or been misled then
the fact will have a great deal to do
with the Roberts matter, because it
will be shown that Roberts is not an
isolated case, and that the excuse made
for him is not sincere. For If the
Mormon Church is exerting itself to
spread and increase the practice of
plural marriages, or if it is acquiescing
in polygamy after pledging itself to it's
suppression, then the seating of Rob-
erts in Congress with that fact staring
the House in the face will be nothing
less than Congressional Endorsement Of
the action or non-action Of the church
in the matter.
SO Roberts case stretches beyond his
personality and involves the question of
approval or condemnation of polygamy
by the lower House of Congress-pro-
yided always that the 'Tribune'sp
statement is verify. BY that sugges-
tion We do not challenge the honesty
of the Salt Lake paper. BY no means;
1t has reputation for uprightness and
correctness second to none. But if its
charge Is challenged, as certainly the
Mormons will challenge it, it makes an
issue to be settled under proofs to be
advanced.

not be treated as a prisoner of war
and nothing more? Has sentiment SO

that it is taken for granted that every

pense? Are we to pacify the insur-
gents only by putting them at the head

It is said insurgent politicians are
falling over each other to get into Ma

of them demands recognition in the
form of a position of trust-and salary.
For why should they not be rewarded
for surrendering and betraying a lost

thus convince them how much better
it is to defy the Government and re-
sist it in arms, than it is to be a boy
in blue and uphold the majesty Of the
nation against rebellion.
We very much fear that grave mis-
takes are going to be made in this di-
rectfon. There are indications that the
pacification business is to go on along
lines of this order. If so, Congress
should once and for all. put stop
to it. If the President has so far had
his bowels of mercy moved upon as 70
consent to the order of procedure in
dicated, he should be informed better
and induced to abandon system that
means only renewal of the insurrec-
ton as soon as hungry horde of office
seeking rebels discover that to be the
surest way to secure fat places. The
wages of insurrection ought to be bit
ter and hard. If not, resistance to
rightful authority is made the easy
way to political preferment.

A SCOOTER.
Christian Scientist Had Reason to

IT Witnessed a decidedly picturesque
incident coming in from Chattanooea

hotels last night. There We're four
of us at the end of the cara business
man from Houston. two women from
Wilmington, Del, and myself, all mid
die aged, serious people, and naturally
we drifted into conversation. Before
long one of the women, who was a stout.
matronly person. informed us that she
was Christian Science 'demonstrator.'
and, needless to say. that started an
interesting discussion. She gave us
the usual nebulous explanation of the
cult, which no outsider has ever been
able to understand, and then proceeded
to describe a. number of miraculous
cures she claimed to have effected.
THE Houston man had said very
little, but finally he remarked that he
had been suffering for several years
from stiffness of the right ankle. You
mean you think you have been suffer-
ing, said the Christian Scientist. There
is really nothing the matter with your
ankle; In fact, it does not exist. except
in your mind. We'll, it seems very
real,' said the Houston man, and gives
me great deal of trouble Do You
think you could do it any good?' The
Wilmington woman smiled in a pity
ing sort OF way and replied that she
could undoubtedly effect a cure. 1t
may take some time to cleanse your
mind of the delusion,' she said, and we
can't begin too soon. Suppose give
you a treatment right now? BY all
means, madame said the Texan, and
the portly Scientist closed her eyes and
apparently took short nap. The rest
OF US waited in solemn silence. In
about ten minutes she shook herself
and smiled blandly Well, SIR she
said, you feel a good deal better now.

Galli6et's "BIuH."

Bravery In a military officer is com
monplace virtue, since no man is Mt TO
be an officer unless he possesses 1t. But
presence of mind in great danger is
rarer quality, and the officer who pos
sesses it needs only opportunity to
bring him distinction.
General De Galliffet, the French Min
lister of War, and the most eminent liv-
ing French General, possesses presence
of mind in high degree. During the
war of the commune, Galliffet once
found himself at the Bergeries bridge,
Paris, surrounded on three sides by the
insurgent national guard. He was ac-
nard d'Harcourt by name. Escape was
impossible. Three thousand national
guards had their guns aimed at the two
officers.
I'VE shall never get out Of this alive, =
said the Lieutenant.
WELL" said Galliffet, perhaps not,
but I think we shall. Follow me-
Galliffet proceeded to ride at slow
trot directly toward the insurgents.
Presently the communist commander, a
man with a white beard, evidently not
a soldier by occupation, stepped out
and called:
What do you want?"
Then Galliffet proceeded to make a
speech in a somewhat grandiloquent
manner. He pretended that he had
come from President Theirs.
"Frenchmen," he said, slisten! Shall
it be peace or war between Paris and
Versailles? Shall we not have peace?
Lay down your arms and all will be
we'll. If you persist, it is war to the
death! Frenchmen, choose!"
A great clanor rose among the insur-
gents. The communist leader spoke up.
go back to President Thiers," he
shouted, 'sand tell him it is war!''
81 co. said Galliffet. He wanted
nothing better, as his mission was a
pure accident, and he was as good as a
prisoner. He and the Lieutenant rode
away. The Lieutenant's horse struck
into a gallop.
Hold on!" called Galliffet. Don't
let them think we are in a hurry
they'll know what's up.'
So the two officers walked their horses
out of range of the insurgent rifles, and
rejoined their command Two months
later the gray bearded communist com :
mander fell into the hands of Galliffet,
who gave him his liberty in agreeable
remembrance of the incident.-Youth's g

REASONS FOR THANKFULNESS.
Vacaville Reporter: The celebration
of Thanksgiving on the Both of No
vember, should receive this year more
than ordinary attention. 1t would be
difficult to enumerate the reasons for
California's thankfulness, but among
them will readily occur bounteous
crops, a phenomenal increase of trade,
and the mellowing influence of pros
perity which is apparent in every ave-
nue. of human activity, and which is
giving to every kind of labor employ
ment at remunerative rates. Let us
eat our turkey with a recognition Of
the good fortunes which are ours, and
which promise as the years roll on to
suffer no diminution.
