Changing the Tipple, but Not the
Tipping.

Two pieces Of news published
lately bear queer and interesting
and important relations each to the
other.
One of them sets forth the
Church Army's plan of apostleship
tor tea--telling how tea bars are
to be established in New York with
sumptuous fittings for the sale Of
the Chinese beverage, hot or cold,
with or without" sugar, lemon,
cream and other accustomed &C.
cessories; how experts are to teach
men and women to drink the de-
coction. and missionaries are to go
alb enticing them even in their
own homes-all this not as a means
of promoting the tea trade, but as
Temperance" crusade to provide
a substitute for beer drinking.
The other news article told Of a
maniac then lying in Bellevue
Hospital who was driven mad and
has since died as a consequence of
over indulgence in tea.
Cases OF insanity from tea tip
pling are rare, as rare as cases of
insanity from opium smoking. But
il you go where tea drinking is the
popular vice the proportions Of tea
drunkards and tea lunatics to the
tea drinking population are about
the same as are the proportions oil
alcoholic drunkards and sufferers
from deliriu m tremens to the
drinking population. And the
physicians in every hospital out
patient department are familiar
with cases of what they call tea
intoxication.
Is there not grave danger that in
persuadinI men to change their
tipple these Church Army people
are leading them to a still deadlier
worse evil.

A TORPEDO SrEEaED BY LIGHT.

Herr Orling, a Swede, has invented a
torpedo which can be steered from the
ship by which it is sent by means of
a beam oflight, ju,t as the Tesla torpedo
is guided ia the water against the enemy
by means Of electrical impulses passing
the air. The light, directed on the
torp Edo by a reflector, after the manner
of a searchlight, falls on two pieces OF
selenium. This mineral has the property
Of losing resistance to the passage Of an
electrical current through it when the
light falls on Il. Consequently, at such
a time it allo VS. the passage OF an electric
current through it. Given a piece ot
selenium on board the torpedo, aud
set OF accumllators connected to it, one
can see how the light falling on the
selenium can make the current work an
electric moor connected to the rudder.
With two pieces OF selenium. two
batteries, and two motors one can turn
the rudder 10 the right or left, and keep
the torpedo in tine proper course.

day. Now the Filipinos have
"seen their dead" and will be much
less ready to listen to any reasons
put forward by the United States
than they would have been some
months ago. Then, they and the
Americans were allies, now, the
Filipino hatred for the Spaniard
has been transferred to the Amer
lean.
On the outbreak of hostilities
Aguinaldo assured General Otis
that the rupture was not OF his
seeking and asked that cessation
OF hostilities might be agreed upon
in order that the situation might
be discussed. IF, as the proclama-
ton OF the Commissioners sets
forth, the Philippines have been
acquired by the United States
solely with the object Of benefting
the Filipino people, OF granting
them the blessings OF a just and
upright government and OF doing
this "in a way that will satisfy the
well.founded demands and the
highest sentiments and aspirations
OF the Philippine people," why |
cannot a truce now be arranged /
and negotiations entered into7 We
believe that such a course Of action
would go much further towards
convincing the Filipinos Of the
disinterestedness Of the Americans
than the present method oi striv-
ing to instil this belief with the
bayonet. Everyone is well aware
Of the power of the United States
and we do not think that by adopt
ing the more humane course, and
thus saving hundreds Of the lives
OF the people that they profess to
have come to elevate and civilize,
that the least loss OF prestige could
accrue to them. The blessings OF
civilization will not be OF much &C

Thus we need a bigger army to
keep the Filipinos whipped than 1t

exploit had spread far and uide-there

wonderful progress is now a matter OF
history.
This was the commencement Of his
military career. and the foundation of |
his extraordinary popularity and lnAu-
ence.
Aguinaldo was never in Europe. His
only experience of the outside world |
was four months sojouru at Hong |
Kong, Singapore, and Saigon. The
monstrous reports ABOUT his being a
sailor IN the Chinese navy, and other
sensation mongery published in some
OF the American yellow" journals,
only exist in the dlsordered brains OF
these "highlY civilized" wr tiers of
fiction, likewise the remarkable story
published by the Graphic OF the "head
reward which must amuse even the
Governor General, Augustinl The only
true statement of the latter journal is
that Emilio Aguinado, President of
the Philippine Republic, is evidently a
man OF whom the world will yet hear a
great deal" It would be we'll for the
world if there were more Aguinaldos
and less of that dangerous class of
politicians who are responsible for

desire IN their own personal interest to

With the devastation of the land and
the losses on agriculture and business

wait until the official reports confirm it
IN all its bIood-curdlIng horror. The
official figures will exceed the present
authenticated statement. In one day
nearly 5000 women and children were
Fllled, wounded and thrown into
trenches by American troops. This is
McKinley's personal war made without
any authority from Congress. This is
McKinley's war of humanity This
is the war which American ministers
applaud from their desecrated pulpits.

know What is going on in the Philip

restricted and suppressed the same as in

Captain Carter's Case.

Elk Senator ingalls, brings a very
serious charge against President
Mckinley and the Departn ent of
Justice. In an article in the New
York f0NyNak discussing the case
of Capt. O. M. Carter, OF the corps
OF engineers, he asserts that the
delay in carrying out the sentence
OF the court-martial is in the inter
est Of the Contractors who were
Carter's partners in crime In
time. Mr.. ingalls, declares, the
statute Of Limitations will protect
the contractors from an action Of
the government ito compel resti-
tuition OF their plunder." Ordinar-
ilY there is no delay in acting upon
the findings of court martial. In
Washington recently two officers
Of the army, General Eagan and
Lieutenant Lang, were tried and
convicted, and the President took
formal action in less than month
after the courts had returned their
findings. Both OF these officers
were convicted Of conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentle
man." Another officer, who du
plicated his accounts, was
promptly cashiered. What the
President will do in the case oi
Captain Carter no one knows. He
was convicted by a court, martial
nearly eighteen months ago OF
embezzling more than a million
dollars Of government money, and
sentenced to dismissal from the
army, to paw fine of $5,o 900, and
to be imprisoned in the peni-
tentiarV. Powerful influences have
been exerted to prevent the carry.
ing out OF the sentence. The
papers in the case have been alter
natelY in the hands oi the Secre
tarY Of War, the Department Of
Justice, President Mckinley, and
private counsel, and still no deci-
sion is in sight. Under the circum
stances Mr.. Ingalls, thinks the
words of mad King Lear are ap-
plicable to this celebrated case:
"Plate sin with gold," said King
Lear, land the strong lance of
Justice hurtless breaks. Arm it
in rags,a pigmy's straw doth break
it." The sentence OF the court
martial in Captain Carter's case
may have been severer than the
law or the evidence warranted, but
In any case, it should not have
taken the Administration eighteen
months to announce its decision.
IT is an established fact, says the
Alexandria Gasette, no matter
what interested and prejudIced
people may say to the contrary,
that General Agu'naldo, to bring
about a conclusion of hostilities,
proposed the establishment of a
neutral zone between the two
armies, of any width that would
be agreeable to General Otis, so
that during the peace negotiations
there might be no danger OF fur
ther conflicts between the tNc
armies, but that to the representa-
tions of General Torres, General
Otis replied that the fighting hav,
ing once begun must go on to the
end. The end has not yet come
but thousands OF American live.

millions Of American money have
been expended, and how many
