The times that tried mems souls in
the last century found our manly fore
fathers equal to their demands. and
great was their reward. -transmitted to
us in their grand heritage OF an indie
pendent Republic, with it's precious
treasures OF liberty, prosperity and
happiness. These times that try the
soul are again upon us, and our rich
heritage is in danger.-in fact, it is be-
ing squandered, stolen and destroyed
before our eyes. Shall we stand the
test, and bravely rescue and defend
what our ancestors so heroically acquir-
ed and held? If not, no matter; for
our own degeneracy will we'll deserve
stripping and stripes, and we shall be
incapable of Il posterity worthy even
of keeping swine for Hanna and his
Ohio gang. and feeding on the leayings
of the swill. Stops and husks prepared
for these greedy squealers, now having

Dewey denounced the Democracy OF
his own country, it IS said, as Il nest
of traitors. or worse, and no wonder
he calls Aguinaldo's fight for freedom
and independence as military des-
potism." But he does not tell us what
he calls the rule of Otis and himself
in subjugating the Philippines. Proba-
bly, he considers it "a dispensation of
charity. deliverancc and salvation"
but will wager that the Philippines will
gladly reimburse that free gift of $780,
100000 by the United States to Spain. IL
the American army and navy withdraw
from their shores and come home. They
are poor, but patriotic; Dewey is 4 gall
liant soldier. who knows no politics, as
Inc himself says. and Understands moth
ing but his business and his duty. But
probably impartial history may say
that Aguinaldo was S true TO country
and devoted to duty as Dewey.

1t is with Florence that the greater
glories of the Italian republics are prin-
cipally associated. Pisa had Il noble
career and her history reads like an
epic poem. But tragedy was her fate
from the beginning. And though for q
while she rivaled Genoa in her power
upon the sea, and was earlier even
than Florence in using art as the en-
noblement of wealth, she could not re-
sist her destiny. Florence was jealous
of her, and in her hour of fate raised
no hand for her succor. In the bitter
but inevitable struggle between her and
Genoa she succumbed. 1t was the ma
val battle of Meloria U2S) that decided
her fate. Five thousand Pisans perish
ed in that struggle, and 1900 more

The Georgia monkey-labor bureau
has come TO grief. At first one white
overseer to twenty monkeys was
enough for the trained Simians in the
cotton field. But the novelty Of the
work soon wore off, and 1t became too
monotonous for the monkeys. who were
very ingenious in finding and doing
mischief. After it got to requiring
twenty overseers to every monkey. the
experiment was abandoned in disgust.
