The editorial in tcday'n issue on "Cbeap

consistency by a bieoted imporialist. but

STOP this miserable sacrifice of blood and
wealth. He should do nothing Of the

when the Filipinos are oXterminated and

question discussed pro and con in Hobbies

great industrial metal and a most useful
scientific metal, but he is not Of that mar
row caste that thinks gold, and gold
alone, of all the metals has genuine in

it is a most excellent one, he is not in

Houston. Texas. June 20.--If protec-

which is the only support of protection
and consequently trusts? Is 1t possible
that the majority OF the North are so
magnanimous as to throw away their own
prosperity to maintain a sentiment which
is the cause OF their degradation, or is it
that they are, like the poems of Mexico,
