AS ON EARTH, SO IN HEAVEN

Queer ideas some people have of the
next world. There can lie no doubt
that many persons expect that ST.
Peter will wear livery when he opens
the door to take their cards.
Think CT the rage OF certain mon
arch if the angels fail to salute and
doff their halos as he passes.
Imagine how miserable Mark Hanna
and Rockefeller would be in a place
where there was no money, soldiers
or police at their command.
Would it be heaven for the English
Mr.. Astor to greet his ancestor, the
butcher, with the eyes of all heaven
upon him?
And just think of it! If the present
fashion of ladies' headgear exists in
heaven, any angel with a decent pair
of wings would be hunted to death by
the plume
I do not consider these thoughts as
irreligious. They are the natural con-
sequence Of the acts and sentiments
we see and hear around us, and we
conclude that if heaven is place
where there is no pomp or vanity, and
where justice reigns, it behooves us
to throw aside our false pleasure in
social distinction, and to learn to love
justice for Justices sake SO that we
may be happy in heaven.-Dan Beard.

STORYETTES.

In Justin McCarthy's "Reminls-
cences' there is q story about Thomas
Carlyle and his friend Allingham, the
poet and essayist, one of the gentlest
of men, One thing that would never
have occurred to any of his friends as
possible was the chance of his taking
on himself to dispute with Carlyle.
But once when Carlyle was denouncing
an English Statesman he gently urged
that something might be said on the
other side. Eth, William dillingham;"
Carlyle broke forth, you're just about,
the most disputatious man ever met.
Eth, man, when you're In one Of your
humors you'd just dispute about any.

The Electric Lights.

The street lights were turned on
last Monday evening all over the

shone on all our principle streets, all
night. The lights are a success.
Some of our people, who are not
familiar with electric lights, were
expecting them to be larger, but
everybody seemed delighted. Many
OF our young people walked up and
down the streets late into the night
only to enjoy to enjoy the lights.
No citizens of he town enjoy the
lights more than Tazewell Avenue

lighted from one end to the other.

one OF the toughest parts of all our

don't "meet." AS we said last week
we hope light will be placed there.

Where Are Our FHipinos2

AS we understand this thing
bought those Filipinos, islands and
all, for $2O,OOO,OOO, and we think
Spain is obligated to deliver us our
goods and chattels, marked this
side up with care Or in any other
shape that we demanded.
When we make purchase ut a
grocery store we do not contemplate
knocking down the porter or shout
ing the delivery wagon driver to get
our bundles out of ste ok. aud when
we produce 800, 100000 for Il few
million yellow men and women and
a jungle-infested island or two, we
ought not to be expected : shoot
go, :. -. vi more of smokeless
powder and carry over 10000 IN, n
to receive the Junk we purchased.
What we bought them for aud
what we are going to do with them
are outside and entirely super1uous
questions. We bought them alright
and Spain has failed utterly to de-
liver the goods We think it was an
awiully poor purchase. No shrewd
bargain driver would buy bird up
tree or wild horse loo ,e on the
prairie, and the fellows who bought
that outfit in the jungles and put up
$50, 100000 OF good revenue stamp
collected money can never hope for
our endorsement us first-class as.
sortment of purchasing agents.
1t looks to us AS though it was
rather hard to go and buy u bunch
OF wild people and then have to 60
and catch them and tame them our.
Selves. Spain has not treated us
right about that purchase, and the
moro we think of the expenditure Of
that S20,OOO,OOO, the more their
creeps over us the feeling that there
is sort of gold-brick job in the deal.

We do not wish to lay ourselves
liable to the charge Of scourtesy,
or of SPEAKING disrespectfully of the
Chief Magistrate, nevertheless, il is
II matter of history that President
Mckinley has changed his mind
more than once on national policy,
and who knows but that he may do
so again? A few years ago Mr.. Nc.
Kinley declared with equal firmness
that the country was on bimetalic
basis, and at one time in making q
canvass OF the State of Ohio, he
criticized MIR. Cleveland Very severe.
ly for his oppo 'ition to bimetalism.
Further still, in 1896 Mr.. Mckinley
was candidate for President OF the
United States on platform which
declared for bimetalism. 1t is not
impossible. therefore. that the vac.
illating aud unstable man who oc.
cupies the Presidential chair NAV

"People who live In glass houses
ought not to throw stones" is an
old saying, which applies in many
ways. There are moral, religious
and political houses of glass and
people who live in these should not
throw stones. Why then, will an
editor, who was once Southern
man and soldier, and who has turn.
ed against his own people, aud iden-
tilted himself with the enemy, accuse
the people who do not endorse the
policy of the administration in the
Philippines, of treason, and call
them TRAITORS" if they dare to ex-
press sympathy for the poor fellows
who are struggling for freedom9
There is only one answer, and that is
such man is lopsided, reckless and
ignorant. No really sensible man,
who has honest convictions ever
filings stones in such manner.
