The war which the United States is
now waging in the Philippine Islands

and is subversive of the very ground
work of our government. 1t means a
revolution not in the Philippine is
lands only, but revolution at home;
which, if successful, will ultimately
change this republic into an empire.
The doctrine that self-government is
an inherent right is the cornerstone
which lies at the foundation of our
whole political fabric; it has been
cherished by the people as true beyond
all question, and as dear beyond all
price. Yet the Mckinley administra-
ton is now trying, in utter disregard
of this principle, to impose a govern

A Compositor,s Biunder.

Some years ago the following apolo-
getic explanation for compositor's
blunder appeared in leading weekly
literary journal published in London:
''In our last number, as we discovered
unfortunately too late for correction,
We announced that Mr.. John Stuart
Mills inaugural address lately delivered
before the University of st. Andrews had
since been repubiished by him in the
form of ) shilling elephant Even the
most ardent believers in Mr.. Mills pow
Hrs among our readers will probably
have received This announcement with
some incredulity. The fact is that by an
error Of the press the word elephant was
substituted for pamphlet and the mis-
tahe-although the proof was read and
reread- -unluckily escaped the corrector's
eye"

JUDGE ROBERTS DEATH.

Judge Charles b. Roberts, who died
yesterday at Westminster. after long
illness. was one Of the leading citizens of
Western Maryland-a man who had won
and held the respect and esteem OF the
people who knew him. With a good
education and well fitted for the practice
of his profession, Judge Roberts rose to
prominence at the bar. and became
recognized as one of the ablest and most
successful lawyers in that section OF the
State. Always taking an interest in poll
tics. Judge Roberts became leader in
the councils of his party. and was twice
elected to Congress from the Second dis
trict OF Maryland. He rendered faith
full service there, and afterwards became
the states attorney general. from which
position he stepped to the bench, where
he continued until his health failed.
Such a man is an honor to any COM
muniiy and to any state. In the death
OF Judge Roberts Maryland has lost an
able. upwright, honorable and useful
citizen. Baltimore .fme,TcaH.
Judge Roberts was beloved and es-
teemed by every one who knew him, and
in his death, the State. bench and bar
has been robbed OF a most Conscientious
Judge and upwiight and just man.
