Rumors are current that the Beers
will take the initiative Monday on the
border east and west of Charlestown.
London, Sept. 30.-Indications lead
to the belief that, in view of the cabinet
message, the Beers will probably COM
NIT an overt act which will bring on
bostilities before the assembling of par

ty on the part of the burghers.

At night, viewed from the roofs of
any of the high buildings downtown,
New York appeared an enchanted city.
The great buildings were bright with
dazzling light and gorgeous color. On
the rivers were fairy barges; in the sky
flashing shafts of blue. The water
seemed river of lambert flame. Brook

played from Brooklyn over the East

HE Census Bureau is to be the
same old political machine the re-
publ1cans have invariably made it,
and those who control the appoint
ments don't care low much it will
cost the people. An indication of
this has just been given by the
choice of a tabulating machine to
be used. The committee decided
to use the same machines that
were used ten years ago, although
q new machine was offered which
would do the work much faster.
The decision is said to have been
made because the new machines,
if adopted, would have largely re-
duced the number of clerks re-
quired, which republican congress-
men protested against.

MARK HANNA'S STYLE.

Whoever writes the interviews
which are credited to United
States Senator Marcus A. Hanna
should take some pains to make
them fit the man. A stout, pep
cry, brusque man, who has not
enjoyed the blessing Of 2 strictly
classical education, such as Mr..
Hanna, for instance. would never
think of saying to q reporter:
at would be an ungrateful thing for
me to discuss whether or not will ac-
cept another term as chairman OF the
republican national committee. 1t would
be audicious to discuss an offer that has
not been made"
He would state it in this way:
"What, me resign the chairman
ship? Don't you believe it, young
man. Somebody has been stufhng
you. I'll quit when my time is
up and not before, and you can
say that for me in your paper, if
you like. And you can say, too,
that l don't believe Henry G..
Payne on any one else ever said
[ was too sick to hold the job.
Henry nor anybody else would
talk of me like that, unless 1 told
them to. No, sir! I have got into
this thing and I'm going to see it
through"
Now that would sound more
like Mr.. Hanna's style. 1t would
fit his physique and newspaper
readers would feel more satisfied
that it came directly from the
distinguished senator.

McK1NLEY,s MESSAGE.

In his message to congress
President Mckinley to certain
extent defers making an author
itative announcement Of his i'm
perialist policy as applied to the
definite aud permanent solution of
the Philippine problem.
cit does not seem desirable that
[ should recommend at this time
specific and final form of govern
ment for these islands," he says.
To congress is rightfully left the
duty of constructing "a plan OF
government which shall establish
and maintain freedom and order
and peace in the Philippines. I"
The promise is made of special
message to be transmitted to
congress when the president shall
have received the full report of
the Philippine commission, now
in preparation.
The presidents recommends
tions with regard to Cuba are
equally evasive aad unsatisfying.
His message speaks of a new
Cuba yet to raise from the ashes
of the past"-which might be
taken as meaning free Cuba IN
accord with the pledge under
which we went to war with Spain.
But in another breath he expresses
a doubt as to whether the ties
that are to bind this government
to Cubx in the future "shall be
organic or conventional" and de-
clares ominously that "our mis-
sion, to accomplish which we took
up the gage of battle, is not to be
fulfilled by turning adrift loosely
framed commonwealth to face the
vicissitudes which too often attend
weaker states whose natural wealth
and abundant resources are offset
by the incongruities of theil
political organization and the re
curing occasion for internal rival
ries to sap their strength and
dissipate their energies" In
other words, now that we have
possession Of Cuba, it is for us tc
decide whether we shall relinquisi1
so valuable possession, paying
only conditional attention to oul
original pledge for Cuban in
dependence.
President McKinley's imperial
ism is not improved by mingline
Of typical Pharisaism. II we pro
pose to deny liberty to the Filipi
nos aud to break our sacred
promise to the Cutans, let's a
least do it manfully, without any
Pecksniffinn make-believe. If WI
hold these islands rs American
colonies, we'll do SO simply TO,
the reason that McKinley's repub
lican friends and hackers want tt
work these islands for profit a
the expense of taxpayers in tn
United States.

. The decision Of the state
supreme court in the Kidder coun-
ty tax case contains at least one
good point. The court holds that
it is against public policy for
attorneys from outside the state
to secure (by various meausJ, law
cases OF a public nature on con-
tingent fees or a percentage basis.
In the Kidder county tax case, a
Michigan lawyer would have
carried off some $4,000 of the
peoples money for a totally inadi-
quate service, had not the supreme
court interfered. In Wells
county case the lawyers got some
IS, 900 in fees in similar case
for service not in proportion to
the results of the litigation. The
people are always liable to get the
worst of it, in these deals and the
supreme court has established a
precedent against il. ,'.s
