THE pastor of st. Johns Church, at
Washington, has the undoubted right,
and it is eminently proper for him, to
pray for Admiral Dewey and to give
thanks for his safe return to the land
of mis- fathers; yet it occurs to US that
'twere better prayed in the Admiral's
absence than in his presence. With
humans God is dwarfed in the making
of demi-pods

SURE enough the country editor does
not always tread a path of roses.
Read of the troubles of the editor of
the Crystal Mirror at Hillsboro, as pub
lished in that paper last week: 1--WE
want everybody owing the Mirror to
send in the money, as between the
rascality OF our collector and the loss
to business through drunken printers
we are in need of money to meet bills.
Let everyone owing us that has the in
terest of the paper or party at heart
remember this and act promptly as
soon as you read this article. We tried
to get around in person, but dare not
leave the Office until we can get re-
liable man to leave in charge"

WHAT a nation of hypocrites we are!
This includes lovely woman, too. Just
now, under the leadership of several
prominent ladies, our fair are joined
in the hue and cry against Mr.. Roberts
of Utah. Mr.. r. is Congressman-elect
from that State, and the other men,
bers of the lower house of the national
legislature propose to refuse him ad-
mission within the vale of that virtu-
GUS body, because he is a Mormon and
believer in polygamy. Our national
soul shudders at the thought of being
brought into official contact with such
a miscreant. 1t must not, shall not
be! We have borne with Hon. thieves,
murderers, dive-keepers, brothel ire
quenters, sluggers, and all that, but
we draw the line at Mormonism. Our
innocent and lovely daughters may
unite in the sacred bonds of matri-
mony with needy, titled rakes whose
carcasses through lustfnl designations
are corrupt from skin to marrow and
from marrow back to skin again, but
the horrible spectacle of a Mormon
sitting in the halls of Congress cannot
be allowed to shock their sense of
purity. Mr.. Roberts, so far as we are
advised, has meyer applied to the di-
wholly without defense. With our
facile laws for the untying of the mar
for him? He may have as many wives
as he desires, but he must be taught to
conform to the law and the custom of
the country. Besides, under the
heathenish Mormon practice if he take
dozen wives he must provide for
them all; with US, never for more than
one at time. and not even that one
if the financial condition Is too strin-
gent. (Think of Congress denying
admission to a member who had aban-
doued his wife or refused to support
herb MOI Mr.. Roberts has not leg
to stand on-we speak metaphorically
in this Christian community. He
must cast behind him his Mormonistic
effrontery and masquerade in the vir-
tues farthest from him If he would be
OF US and with US. We hypocrites
must stand together-else we'll be dis
agreeably forced TO reform or made to
openly bear the stigma of our sins.

THESE are the words of DIR. Heffiin-
ger, an army surgeon, now stationed
at Manila: s'Don't look for peace; it is
nowhere. Spain was at war 400 years
with these natives and never got con-
troll of more than the city and a few
adjacent sections. We may never ex-
pect to be at peace with them. They
are a warllke people and, like Ban
quo's ghost, will not down. We ought
to have 1000 men to garrison the
islands. They can be held in subjec-
ton in a manner, but the mountain
tribes will organize and menace the
officials so long as we attempt to rule. :"

The following special to the Post
Dispatch, sent from Chicago under
date of October 9th, is so instructive
aud suggestive that we copy it in full:
Through the kindness of prominent
Cabinet officer the Post Dispatch cor
respondent is enabled to announce the
exact policy which President Mckinley
means to pursue In the dispute between
Great Britain and the Beers.
1. This Government, having been
the recipient of moral support from
England during the war between the
United States and Spain. will do moth
ing distasteful to Great Britain. This
is positive, and the Post Dispatch cor
respondent was requested to make the
statement unqualifiedly and emphatl-
cally.
President and his Cabinet are, to an
extent, with the Beers, yet their love
for England is stronger, and outweighs
their friendliness for the free people of
the Trausvaal.
8. The President will not intervene,
believing, as he does, that intervention
might incite some foreign power to
take hand in the Philippine war.
Reason is the cocoa-nut that holds
the milk. No matter what outrages
may be committed by European tyran-
ny and oppression against free peo-
pie, the great United States dare not
interfere because in that event the Of
Tended European power might take a
hand in the Philippine war;" Isn't it
nobler to ''haul down the flag" than TO
trample down principle? ''World pol
itics" has a severe but deserved lesson
in store for this great Republic.

Two weeks ago the REGISTER pub
Iished an extract from a letter written
by John NJ. McMlchael, now mining
in the Far West, and formerly editor
of the Plattsburg Leader, wherein he
charged Hon. A. NJ. Dockery with
many political high crimes and INSIDE
meanors. Since then friend has sent
us the following editorial from the
Leader, of August IL, 1896, at which
time Mr.. McMichael was in charge of
that paper. 1t is as strong an en-
dorsement of Mr.. Dockery on the sill
yer question as anyone could ask:
"Since Cockrell, Vest, Dockery and
the people in Missouri in supporting
every measure in behalf of silver that
has been offered before congress, they
should be honored, and held in honor.
We should not forget the fact that
these men had to array themselves
against revengeful administration in
thus doing and that thereby they de-
MED for themselves and their friends
all executive favor. If they had been
of the stripe of the Halls and Tarsneys
they would have hung around the
White House asking for Princes gifts.
But they preferred to serve the cause
of the people, and incur the frowns of
the most despotic administration that
ever afflicted this country. 1t should
be remembered, too, that these men
did not wait for the Pertle Spring, or
the more recent convention at Sedalia,
to know how they should act, and that
they have done incalculable service in
helping TO place the Democratic party
of their state on the safe and sure
foundation of the free coinage of silver
at 16 to IL
This beats all the ''deadly parallels"
we have ever seen. 1t is a case of
Miner McMichael VS.. Editor Nc
Michael, and Editor McMichael seems
to baye ''broke it off, deep in Miner
McMichaels bosom.

AN ADVANTAGE
FOR THE SOUTH
Heavy Advance in Price of Lake
BeSSemer Ores.
MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED
North While Alabama, Tennessee
and Virginia Will Reap
the Benefit

New York, November 30-Discussing the
Iron Age says:
The event of the week has been the an
nouncement on the part of miners of Lake
Bessemer ores of their prices for the sea-
son of 190O-19O1. The figure decided upon,
$3.50 at lower Lake ports for the Norrie
grade, compared with $2.59 last year, rep
resents an advance rather larger than was
expected. This is equal to about 81 cents
per unit, against a shade under 40 cents
last year, thus representing an advance In
the cost of Bessemer pig iron of about $5.25
per ton for ore alone. To this must be
added the increased cost of coke, at least
81 per ton, of iron, of labor and of rail
.freights raw materials from receiving
ports and from coke ovens Thus the coke
freights have been just advanced Is cents
per ton, and a rise in rail ore freights is
also imminent.
All this, of course means that costs will
be considerably higher, although the full
effect will not be felt until the new ore be-
gins to appear dn the mixtures. 1t is figured
pig in the valleys will next year be not less
than $l4 to SIS per ton for those who must
purchase all their raw materials in the
open market.
OF general interest is the announcement
that the non-Bessemer ores are selling on
the basis of $6.25, lower lake ports, or say
cents per unit. To the makers of basic
and foundry grades this means an advance
very close to that of the producers of Bes-
semer pig, and fixes a corresponding min
imum for the second half of 1900 and the
first half of 1901.
To the makers of pig iron in Virginia,
Tennessee and Alabama the establishment
of prices for lake ores and coke holds out
the promise of a year of good profits, be-
cause the majority of them control their
own supplies. In the past they have suffer-
ed in competition with the central west
from the fact that prices of lake ores were
down to a low level and all other costs
were on a starvation basis. To them rela-
lively a much larger margin is opened,
since the offset to them is only the in
creased cost of labor and the advance in
rates of freight on products to market.

London, December 1.-4:45 a. m.)-Be-
yond the report from Estcourt that firing
was heard in the direction of Ladysmith
on Monday, there Is not shred of news
of any kind from the seat of war.
A semi-official statement has been issued
that Lord Metheun's wound is not dan
gerous, and that he is expected to be all
right in the course of a few days. 1t is
certain, however, that the wound will pre-
vent his being in the saddle, and there is
great anxiety to know whether he will be
compelled temporarily to abandon personal
direction of affairs. His next in command
is Colonel Colville, commanding the Guards
brigade. He has a reputation as an excel
lent officer. AS men are needed in all di-
rections, Lord Wolseleys announcement
out delay has been received with the great
est satisfaction. The transports will soon
be returning from the Cape, and it is hoped
that the men will be dispatched speedily.
On this point the Morning Post says:
1.-THE sooner we can make up our minds
as to the magnitude of the work in hand,
the sooner 1t will be accomplished"
Ldeutenant-Co Stapford's death ends
