The lack of interest in the election
of Judge Schaekleford, Bland's sue
cessor, shown by the republicans since
his election, is rather alarming to the
faithful. We have been assured that
the people approved McKinley'e course
in the Philippines and that when the
opportunity offered they would indi-
cate the same at the polls Well, we
think they have. Bland was the idol
of his district, yet Schackleford' g ma
jority is greater than was Bland g.
The difference in their votes would
seem to indicate the exceeding unpup-
ularity of McKinleyism as exemplified
in Manila.

The republicans are particularly
fond of calling every one who criticises
McKinley's policy of criminal ag-
gression'' traitors. And now comes
an ass by the name Of Burton in an
attempt to criticise Bryan, and as
usual in such cases calls him traitor.
The record of the two men is the best
answer. When the call for troops was
made last summer Bryan offered his
services to the government and was

The following editorial. which ap-

this time in view of the fact that our
standing army is being rapidly in
creased. Comment seems to be unnec-
essary:
Every proposed increase of, the
standing army OF the United States
will be met with suspicion aud oppo-
sition in some quarters. Yet there is
no ground whatever for thinking tn a.
the people of this country are opposed
to fighting when the time comes.
What is felt to be the dangerous fea-
ture OF q standing army by those who<e
opposition is sincere is the separation
of large body of fighting men from
hone and local ties. and from public
opinion of state and nation, The cit
izen soldier is the ideal soldier of a
republic, and he has proved himself
equal to the emergency in every war
we have waged. The only drawback
to the volunteer service is that q Ger
tain amount of valuable time is lost
at the beginning Of n war by reason
of the unpreparedness OF the volun-
teers. This would be entirely cured
by a system of compulsory military
service. similar to that of Germany.

vantage in the physical ''setting up:

A Midnight visitor
Alexander Williamson went costly to
bed,
And on the soft white pillow he laid
his weary head;
But at the very moment that his heavy
eyelids fell,
A certain something happened which
is terrible to tell
And he was filled with wonderment
that made him cold and mute,
For, standing up beside his bed, he saw
his Sunday suit.
"oh, Alexander W4lllamson"-it lifted
up sleeve
Your conscience is upbraldlng you,
I'm happy to believe.
For all the things you've done to me
In such a careless way
Are quite enough to I'll the heart with
horror and dlsmay

were careful as could be;
You kept me nicely busted, and you

But oh, those happy days are gone, as
happy days will go,
And II l seem little dull, the reason
you must know.
You've bulged my trouser pockets UNI
I'll no one thinks them neat;
You tore a button off my coat and lost
1t In the street;
You scrambled up bramble bank to
catch q bumble-bee,
And In your very shocking haste you
tore trouser-knee."
Then, coming close beside the bed, It
shook wrlstband low;
"Now, Alexander Williamson, It's we'll
that you should know
That though l do not often come to
visit you in wrath,
/ won't submit to every shame you
heap upon the cloth.
Your roughness and your tyranny shall
bear an awful fruit;
I'll go to rags and tatters and you
shall not have a sultl
And then 1t got so angry as 1t knelt
against the bed,
That Alexander Williamson--he COW

And chance to meet a little boy in

A strange ChInoso Ceremonn.


Twice a year the Chinese offer up
food and prayers at the graves Of their
dead They have large stone plat
form erected in each Of their ceme-
teries, with two large stone chimneys
at the end Of each. Two men place a
roast pig, drink, fruit, and several 9TH
er kinds Of food on the platform, while
two others are engaged In lighting fires
In the chlmneys. After this they kneel
and offer prayer; then, rising, they
chant a long, dreary kind Of song
BY this time the fires are out in the
chimneys. They then leave the food
on the platform while they drive home
1t Is the Chinese belief that Satan
comes down in the night to steal away
the bodies Of their dead friends; but
II, on arriving at the graves, he finds
a meal laid out for him, he is so pleas
ed that he sits down and eats, and
then flies away afterwards so satisfied
that he either forgets to take the
bodies or else repents Of having in
tended doing SO, their relatives being
SO obliging.

An EoonomIcnl Rail.

Chief Engineer W. I. Manning OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
Invented new rail that experts say
has many points Of interest to rail-
road owners, the principal one being
It's economical feature. It is we'll
known that rails wear rapidly on
curves and where these are short and
traffic heavy, the cost Of renewal 10
very large, Manning has evolved a
section, which, he asserts, will reduce
the cost 81 per cent per ton per year.
He adds materially to the life of the
rail by placing additional metal in the
head and on the side upon which the
wear comes. The new rail will be
given thorough test on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, the receivers
having ordered 1000 tons from the
Carnegie Steel Co, The Plttsburg
q Western has also ordered 500 tons.

yard gate when the old teamster, Dom
aid McTavlsh, a good home dlsciplln-

replied the old Scotchman.
