STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

There is no further need if indeed
it ever existed, of hampering or him
dering the national administration in
its efforts to solve ana settle the mat
ter Of the Philippines and other terri
tory now under our control. Slow to
believe in the possibility of war a wear
ago, and reluctant TO enter upon it's
dreaded task and responsibilities
President Mckinley was nevertheless
prompt to act and swift to urge its
execution when once It was horne in
upon him that the contest was newt
able. 1t was he who dispatched Dewey
to Manila when not one man in a hun
dred in the United States could have
told off hand whether there
were fifteen or fifteen hundred
Philippine islands. 1t was he
who FASTENED the perfection of
the naval force and did all possible
toward making a fine army out of moth
ing in almost no time. 1t was ne who
directed the diplomatic work, and his
foresight that realized the value Of an
early enlistment of the hitherto inn
possible English sympathy in our be-
half.
The war speedily, and with phenom-
email brilliancy, brought to its success
full conclusion, it was President Me-
Kinley who organized the Commission
for the adjustment Of terms with
Spain, and who waited patiently and
with dignity for their conclusions to
be foreshadowed ere taking further ac-
tion. With the results of the doIih
erations, carried on with astutc advor-
saries in the none too friendly citv M
technically friendly power" formu-
lated in one of the best treaties ever
evolved between two whilom war,.ir,.

Secretary of State DIN is exercised
about the abuse of the statute allowing
Justices Of the peace to "solemnize mar
riages,' He has had occasion to warn
Justices who have advertised to per-
form the ceremony, day, night or Sun
day, privacy guaranteed" but the adj
Vertlsements continue to appear. He
thinks such practices prejudicial to
public morals and public interests and
therefore suggests that justices of the
peace be deprived of authority to per-
form the marriage ceremony, except
a limited number to be designated by
the governor Nevertheless, parties
who desire to conceal their marriage
might still find means to do so. An
incident that happened not thousand
miles from Worcester, may be cited.
The justice was driven along lonely
road, then piloted through the woods

1t is unkind to accuse ex-Congress-
man Tom i. johnson of trying to kick
down the ladder by which he has
climbed to the position of millionaire,
just because he has resolved henceforth
TO devote his time, fortune and ener-
sles TO the PRONUNCIATION of the Henry
George doctrines. He has been a free
trade manufacturer single-tax con-
gresham and the hacker Of Henry
George in his fight for the New York
mayoralty. He may have had other
freaks also, but nobody has yet charg-
ed him with ignorance of how to make
money and keep it.

wednesday was the day set for a

Quay's supporters in the Pennsylvania

division among the democrats over a

from the district attorney the right of
Directing to jurors in any case that he

back to the Senate it will be by demo-
cratic votes. However, he is not at all
