IDEAL sANITARIUM SITE.

A prominent Chicago man, who was in COM
pany with DEx0cRAr-STAR reporter while
Looking out on PascaRoula bay recently, ex-
claimed "Gee whiz! what beautiful Island is
that 7" He referred to Round Island, two and
a half miles out from shore. Said he, "what
a magnificent spot for a sanitarium, where we
from the Northwest could resort to for the re-
cupera.ion Of our health. How easily It could
be made a first class watering place BY the
establishment Of a modern hotel, and in con-
nection to have a suitable little steamer run
ming between the SHIRE and the island at reg
ular intervals"
Round Island possesses the different attrac-
tions which belong to our immediate gull

shade trees and unequalled fishing and boat

THE PRAYER OF THE BOER.

t"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
but we will remember the name of Jehovah
our God."-Psalms 2O:7.]
Lord God Of Hosts! Whose potent will
Whelm'd Pharaoh's chariots in the sea,
And saved Thy chosen people, still
Protect the men who trust in Thee.
When in dismay Elijah fled
To Horeb, and implored to die
Because Thy servants all were dead,
Thou answered his despairing cry
By summoning the waiting hosts,
Ready at Thy command to speed
In executing Thy behests
OF righteous wrath or loving deed.
Then mustered fast Thy faithful ones,
And soon, Thy prophet awed and still,
Learned that Thou needst not the sons
OF men to carry out Thy will.
Thy lightnings flashed, Thy thunders roared,
And Horeb to it's rocky base
Trembled and quaked as if Thy word
Might it's foundation firm efface.
God of Sabbath! Let thine arm
Still shelter those who trust in Thee;
Defeat our foes, and save from harm
Our land, and keep our nation free.
The Conservative, 1899-12-28
A RESURRECTION

1t is a curious
illustration of the
ups and downs of politics that Mr..
Allen of Nebraska should have returned
to a seat in the senate yesterday, having
lost only about a fortnight of the session,
although his career at Washington ap-
peared to have ended when his term
expired on the 4th of March last. The
death of the republican who was chosen
by the legislature which was elected in
1898, and the fact that a populist secured
the governorship as a result of the same
election, combine to give at least a year
of the office to a man who was supposed
to have lost it for good and all. Some
of the constitutional lawyers" in Me-
braska brought out an extraordinary
theory last week which was to result in
Mr.. Aliens exclusion. Mr.. Hayward,
the republican elected by the legisla-
ture last winter, had not taken the oath
of Office as senator; therefore, urged
these pundits, he vas not a senator at
the time of his death, and his death
did not create a vacancy in the Office
such as the constitution authorizes the
governor to fill. OF course the senate
paid no attention to so ridiculous a
bubble. Governor Poynter, however,
showed how little regard the populist
politician pays to the constitution of the
United States by giving Mr.. Allen
credentials which professed to authorize
his filling the vacancy until the next
legislature shall make an election,
whereas the provision is explicit that
such a temporary appointment shall hold
only "until the next meeting of the
legislature. New York Evening Post,
Dec. 20, 1899.
Perhaps the Post thinks that the popu-
list executive of the best hog and steer
producing commonwealth in the repub-
lie is subject to constitutional limita-
tions and restrictions?

Why not say we did seek first u own

hence, to persuade them hat the 18th
century is arrived. Sued they there
fore must be for the money, and, accord
ing to an established maxim in the law,
the sooner you begin, the one you will
have done.
I would advise you to plead your own
cause no eloquence is so convincing as
that which flows from female lips.
Your adversary, conscious of the bad
ness of his cause, will have plenty of
lawyers to oppose you. They will in
sist that the 18th century cannot be
ended till the year 1900 is ended; they
will tell you that this is the 179Sth, and
not the 1799th year, and so forth, and
so forth, and so forth, to the end of the
chapter. In return to all which, you
will say: pray, what century are we
now in?" They will answer 1.-The
18th to be sure" You will then ask
them how it happens that we have con-
tinued to date II hundred during all the
eighteenth century? If there should be
a man of sense amongst them, he will
laugh in his sleeve but you will see the
young babblers stare like so many stuck
pigs. Before they have had time to re-
cover, you must follow up your blow,
and put to them the following questions
"When did we begin to date II hun
dred, at the beginning or the end of the
seventeenth century," They will i'm
mediately answer: cat the end of the
seventeenth century," "Well them"
say you, "did we not also begin to date
1898 at the end of the 179Sth year? If
we began (as you say we did, to date
1898 at the beginning of 1898 year, why
did we not begin to date Is hundred at
the beginning of the 18th century," At
this they will stand as mute as fishes.
You will get no answer from them.
They will, however, find their tongues
after a time, and then they'll go On
again with their saids and soforths, and
again insist that 1900 years must expire
before 1900 years are expired and that
80 cannot make a hundred, and conse-
quently, and of course, 1899 cannot
make 1900, and hence and from thence
they will draw a conclusion as clear as
daylight that, to attain 1900 years we
must arrive at 1900. With about nine
tenths of the jury the force of this
easoning will be irresistible but, if
there be amongst them any man of a
sound understanding and a clear con
science, he will remain locked up till
he has gnawed off his hands, before he
will give a verdict against you.
With the best wishes for the success
of your cause, I remain, my dear Violet,
Your most obedient,
And most humble servant,
P. PoRCUPNE."

1ul pursuits.
The result of o
non-partisan con-
gressional conference in Washington
which recently met with the representa-
tives of the A nti -Imperialist League, was
the formation Of a committee which
drew up the following resolution. 1t
has been presented in the senate and the
house. Support from members of both
parties has been pledged to it.
RESOLVED: First. That in the words
of the declaration of independence :
w hold these
truths to be self
evident, that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. That to secure
these rights governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just, powers
from the consent of the governed. That
whenever any form of government be-
comes destructive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or abolish it,
and to institute new government, laying
it's foundation on such principles and
organizing it's powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness"
Second. That under the constitution
of the United States the federal govern
ment has no power to rule over colonial
dependencies, but is restricted in it's
operations to states as integral parts of
the union and to territories intended for
future states.
Third. That the expansion of our
commerce has not been and cannot be
dependent upon the adoption Of a policy
of Imperialism involving the subjuga-
ton and annexation of Asiatic colonies,
but would in the end be hindered by
such a policy.
Fourth. That we are opposed to the
retention of the Philippine islands by
the United States and we assure the
Filipinos of our purpose to consent
to their independence as soon as a stable
government shall be established by them {;
and toward the prompt establishment of
such government we pledge our friendly
assistance. ERvING WINSLOw,
Eastern secretary of the American
Anti ,Imperialist League and secretary
of the New England Anti Imperialist
League.

will create chaos in the Philippines"

which Boyd is accused OF taking this

A most peculiar accident occurred at
the Bell mine at Butte and four men
were badly hurt. They started from
the 600-foot level to the 300-foot level
and two of them carried quantity of
drills. On the way up one of the drills
dropped to the floor of the cage and
encountering the wall plate flew up and
struck one of the men. The pain of
the blow caused him to drop the other
drills, and as the cage continued the
ascent the loose drills played havoc
with the men. Ed Dougherty had his
| left leg fractured in three places and
John Miller had his left leg broken.
William Lynch and Joe Jikovitch were
seriously bruised about the legs. 1t is
