GUESTS OF MEMBERS.

Coming down TO the question Of what
we shall do with the Philippines Dr.
GrifIis said;
"The old school economists who have
been sneering at our onward march, In
the wake Of our brave missionaries
and merchants, advise us to scuttle
them, to desert Them But we will
not. (CheersD No. They are ours by
honorable possession.
"Since Commodore Dewey put these
islands in our hands by following the
advice of Miles Standish: Don't shoot
till you take aim they have been ours.
How shall we go about the task that
Confronts us? The Pilgrims first de-
mand was for order. My father and
my grandfather were both employers
of Malay labor. They told me that II
you treat a Malay well he makes the
best and most faithful Of servants, but

with n look Of peaceful resignation on
his pallid face. "This is my last WISH"
he said. II am ready now to 60.
only wanted to die as my Lord and
Master did, between two thieves"
A PLEA FOR THE TRUTH.
While I believe there is no other oc-
Cupation or Calling-save possibly the
ministry-which maintains among its
members a higher sense of personal
and professional honor than does that
OF the law, nevertheless l recognize
among us that spirit of prevarication
through which the snares and traps
and pitfalls of practice are laid for un-
suspecting feet. Kind to each other
we are, accommodating, courteous,
friendly, brotherly. But give me in
stead-if we cannot have both-give
me, instead, the old Puritan bluntness,
harshness, severity, if so be | can but
have that high, clear, undoubting
faith in my brother lawyer, that he
fights me with weapons that are not
hidden, with facts that are not dis
torted, with sincerity and truth ever
in his heart as well as on his lips.
For 1 say to you tonight, after an
experience of twenty years at the bar,
that there is nothing in the law moth
ing that does not permit aye, demand
the highest, incest sense of honor In
those who practice it. In criticislng
the spirit of prevarication which pre-
balls today, shall not presume to sim
gle out for comment any calling but
my own. Yet : think l may be par
doned for making passing reference in
| this relation to the field of politics.
| Having dabbled somewhat in politics
mys 1 may be presumed to know
| something of political methods. And
| again / wish to preface my remarks
| by saying most decidedly, that not all
| politicians are rogues | know many
manly, honorable splendid men who
| are workers and leaders in political
! affairs.
But I haven't the hardihood to stand
| here and say that all the, charges
| which are made, of improper conduct,
! of bribery, of rank fraud are without
| foundation i'm fact made simply for
| political effect. | cannot say that. i
| know better; and so do you. | cannot
! say that all the politicians, high or low,
| are dominated by the incorruptible
spirit of the Pilgrim fathers. Imagine,
! if YOU can William Bradford treating
the electors at New England town
! meeting with whisky and cigars in his
own interest! Imagine grim old Mile
| Standish buying up delegates to a
| convention at SO much a head!
| Imagine any of those grand old Puri-
| tan heroes purchasing popularity with
the spolls Of office! Oh, for little OF
the leaven of Puritan righteousness to
leaven the whole lump of Pennsylva-
MIA politics today! / believe it can be
done.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-23
NOT NECESSARILY CORRUPT.

don't believe that politics are neces-
sarily corrupt. | don't believe that p
politician is necessarily a ras~~'
don't believe that a majority nor a
minority, nor a thousandth part of the
voters of this state stand ready each
wear to sell their birthright for mess
of pottage. The New England blood
and the New England spirit that radl-
ated from Plymouth Rock three cen
turtles ago. gave standing ana stamina
and moral firmncss and material pros
perity to the New World. And the
same New England blood and New
England spirit radiating from the New
England societies of Pennsylvania to-
day could redeem this commonwealth
from political demerit before we
should meet again around this board
The times are ripe.
The day of better things Is daWning
Honor i'm rolitics, thank heaven, will
soon be the fashion and the fact. Has
ten the day when the people, the No-
ters the kings by whose decree publlc
officers are made and unmade, Shall
demand that the man who receives
their suffrages shall be as true ana
clean and strong and stcrnly honest
as any Puritan that ever trod New
England soil. And in the broader field
of national affairs the same unbending
spirit must prevail. With true New
England steadfastness Abraham Lin

irving days from 'G1 to 60.

PEOPLE AND SCENES ON THE DECK OF THE SENATOR

vict. While patrolling his beat on Grant
avenue Geiman saw Savage emerging
from a lodging-hou near Bush street
Suspecting that he was about to turn a
trick the policeman decided to stand
him up. In his pockets were found a
bunch Of skeleton keys, a candle and a
Jimmy" Concealed in hs coat were two
knives. one a dirk and the other a case
knife. such as is used by burglars in fore
ing open windows. When asked what he
was doing with the tools Savage said that
he had been given them by a friend to
take TO his room. Geiman at once slipped
the handouts on Savages wrists and took
him TO police headquarters, where he -as
charged with Vagrancy.
To-day additional charges of burglary
and carrying burglar tools and having
concealed weapons in his possession will
be recorded against him. The police are
strongly inclined to believe that he is the
lone burglar who has been operating in
the Western Addition. Last night two of
Chief Lees men searched his room with
out finding any plunder.
Savage is considered a dangerous crook
and since his release from the peniten-
tiary the police have been watching him,
as they knew he would follow his natural
propensity for taking other peoples prop
erty. The skeleton keys which were
found on lin are of expert workmanship

heard by all the shipping along the front

the transport did the same thing. A
