partisan, because, until within the
last year, it would have been well nigh
impossible to find a republican who
would have expressed himself in favor
of the cause now being pursued by his
administration. Even at this day it
is well known that there are many
republicans who look upon it with dis
approval, who regard the entire action
with reference to the Philippines as a
mistake, and who are merely aquies-
cent through fear of hurting the repub-
lican party.
There are others, including some of
the most distinguished members of the
party, who are outspoken and agrees
sive in their opposition. In this con-
nection the names Of Sherman, Hoar,
Edmunds Mason. Boutwell, and many
others at once suggest themselves
The most pronounced hostility,
though, comes from another class Of
Mckinley supporters, the so-called
gold democrats" who repudiated the
Chicago platform and candidates and
contributed to the full extent of their
ability to the success of the republican
party in 1885, 1t can be affirmed with
truth that these men elected Mr.. Nc
kinley, for they certainly turned the
scale in number of the close states.
Among these the names of Carl
Schurz, j. Sterling Morton and Ed
ward Atkinson shine conspicuously.
They are now attacking Mckinley and
imperialism as savagely as they for
merly assailed Bryan and free silver.
1t is a clear case of chickens coming
home.' By their voices and their
votes they have brought upon them
| evil that they now so pathetically de-
plore.
] Of course, these men did not and could
not foresee the Philippine complication.
| But they knew Mckinley and knew
him well They understood his weak,
and at the same time, ambitious, vac
Hating character. They knew that he
had deliberately abandoned the princi-
| pies Of lifetime merely to secure
| the presidential prize The vicious
| character of the influences which sur
rounded him and would control him
We're known to all men who were in
any degree familiar with public af-
| fairs.
The power of such man for evil,
! when the opportunity presents itself,
| is almost beyond computation. And
| now we see it. These former support
ers of the president are denouncing his
| imperialistic policy as threatening the
very existence of free government-nay,
as making its overthrow a certainty
If this be true, then they have brought
upon themselves an evil q thousand
| fold worse than the blacklist picture
they ever painted of Bryan and free
| silver.
And it is, in large measure true
McKinley's policy will not ruin the
country in a day or year. But every
person of intelligence ought to know
that an imperialistic policy backed up
by strong standing army is utterly
1 at variance with republican principles,
and that it will sooner or later de-
stroy every vestige of free government
in the republic which adopts such a

BOSTON Wool Market.

Boston, Oct 1s.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say Tomorrow:
Renewed activity and strength have de-
yeloped in the wool market since a week
ago, and it is safe to say that the situa-
ton as a whole to-day presents the
strongest appearance seen in years. The
business Of the week foots up a total of
more than 100000 pounds, which is GER
tainly most remarkable record in view
of the fact that the worsted mills in
the combine have not been among the
purchasers. There is no mistaking the
strength of the situation and the ten
dency of prices If there was anything
wanting to demonstrate beyond any
doubt the underlying strength of the po-
stion of wool in the worlds market 1t is
the remarkable activity and advance in

The portion of land on the rfrh.
borne estate in England known as the
"Iichborne Crawls" received its name
some fifty years ago because of a re-
markable feat of endurance accom-
plished by a woman. She was the hu
name aud sensible wife of an over
bearing Lord Tichborne, and she took
sorely to heart the condition of their
wretched tenantry, and made every
effort in her power to help them; but
she was n cripple.
The lady could see that they needed
the spur of industry and responsible
ity, and she often besought her hus-
band to set off to them a tract of glebe
or arabic land, giving each laborer a
life lease of the soil and the annual
proceeds of his tillage Her impor-
tunities finally tired him out, and he
told her, half in anger, half in jest,
that he would set apart to the poor
tenantry for nine hundred and ninety
nine years as much land as she would
travel alone in a month, beginning at
the corner of the parish churchyard.

she surprised her husband by taking
him at his word. Carried by her at
tendants to the churchyard corner,
she began her severe task. The SER
wants kept watch, but she could not
allow them to assist her. She per-
severed. Every morning, except Sun
days, she was set down at her last
finishing point and made her painful
days progress, in all weathers, till,
at the end of the month, she had sur
rounded number of acres that aston
ished herself and every one else.
With her bent body and feeble
limbs, her motion was little more than
a crawl, but she won the land, and the
tract has been called the ''Tichborne
Crawls' ever since. e.-London Times.

A RIVAL TO PAUL REVERE,
EousaI tho Patriots M, Vb

The Midnight Ride of fWilliamDawes,W who
Housed the Patriots on That Occasion.
The chief patriotic event of Patriots
Cay, 1899, was the unveiling of tab
let place by the Sons of the Revolu
tion upon the tomb in Kings Chapel
burying ground which marks the rest
ing place of William Dawes. whose
daring midnight ride OF April 1919,
1775, was of the same character and
accomplished the same purpose as the
ride of Paul Revere
Major Frank H. Briggs delivering
the address said:
Poetry has so adorned with its at
tractivc charm the ride of Paul Revere
that to the average mind Revere was
the only man who had anything to do
with warning the people at the time
of the expedition of the British from
Boston on the night of April Is, 1775.
''As matter of fact, however, Re
we're, although one of the leaders, was
at the same time only spoke i'll the
wheel, and though from Longfellow s
poem even the child can learn with
interest Of the poetic details of Re-
ycre's ride, yet the similar ride Of
William Dawes, of just as much value
to the community, has not been made
famous or heralded abroad as daring
deed.
"Longfellow has assumed with
poetic license to place Revere in diff
ferent towns hour by hour, and at the
outset he is apparently standing on
the Charlestown shore waiting for the
signal from the old North belfry. The
rides of Paul Revere aud William
Dawes were practically Simultaneous
as regards the start from the town of
Boston.
'The facts which led up to the ride
were these: 1t had been known for
some Tina previous to April 19 that
the British were preparing to make a
movement with the probable destina-
ton at Concord, as munitions of war
were being gathered there, and Han
cock, Adams and other Revolutionary
leaders were in that town and vicinity.
Joseph Warren, who had remained
Mt Boston, had arranged certain de-
tails as TO notification from lnslde Tue
town. Revere's own narrative states
that it had been agreed with a Colonel
Conant and some other gentlemen IN
Charlestown that if the British army
went out by water two lanterns should
be shown in the North Church steeple,
and if by land one, as a signal, for we
were apprehensive it would be difficult
to cross over Charles river or get over
Boston Neck.
"Warren waited until the British
troops had actually begun to move
to their boats, and then he started
William Dawes out by land route from
Boston Neck and thence across
Brighton bridge to Concord and Lex
ington, and directly after about ~

valve was closed and out of order.
Ho leaped up and seized the bar with
his bare hands and bore his whole
weight upon Though he felt it
burn its way to the very bone.
He never knew how long he held on
to the bar that let off the steam, but
when he regained consciousness, he
was lying outside on the grass. One
by one the faces he knew dawned
dimly out of the mist before his eyes.
After awhile they took him home and
a doctor dressed the burns.
Next morning John was sitting
propped up in an armchair with both
hands bandaged. His face was pale
and dark rings around his eyes showed
his suffering, but his thankfulness for
the safety of all those men over
balanced his pain. And yet there was
little hope that he would ever use
those hands again-hands that had
been SO clever to fashion wonders in
steel and iron. He closed his, eyes.
Alice had heard the story that same
night She could not go to him. She
had no right. But in the morning
she saw clearer, and, rising, she went
into the garden and plucked another
bud from the same bush and fastened
with it in her hand toward Johns
home. On the way she met Charles
in his immaculate morning costume.
Something new and decided in Alice s
face caught his attention. He ad-
vanced jauntily, saying:
MAY L walk with you? I suppose
you are going to visit our mechanical
friend?"
"Thank you, no. I am going
alone" F"
"Ahl Well, will say goodby, as 1
leave here tonight" He watched her
face and saw it clear, as if relieved.
"Then we will say goodby," and
she walked on, as if i'll haste.
Something like mist came into his
eyes and choke in his throat as he
murmured:
4 am sorry, for she is as good as
she is beautiful, and she deserves a
better fate than stagnation here"
Alice was soon standing by Johns
side. He opened his eyes to see her
handing him rosebud, while tears
rained down her cheeks.
"What is it Alice? What troubles
you?" he asked.
"Oh, John, John! am so sorry
for your hands.
Don't cry, Allie, don'tcry' They'll
be we'll in few days"
But Alice sunk on her knees and
went on crying and kissing the band
aged hands until John put those
manned members around her and
lifted her face to his. She laid the
rosebud on his lips and he reverently
kissed it, and as he did 50 it unfolded
of itself to perfect beauty. Chicago
