they cry For whats Merely because
the treacherous natives. so born and
50 taught, regarded themselves as
allies of our army and navy, and re-
sented with force, real or imaginary
sights they felt at the close of the
war with Spain. They had reason TO
believe they would be treated as allies.
1t was a promise made them by Con-
suls Pratt and Williams. the duly
authorized and accredited representa-
tives of this government. There were
administration agents and newspapers
who held out to them the promise of
national independence as a reward and
one even went SO far as to claim that
the Tagals were the principals and our
own troops the auxiliaries in the des-
truction of Spanish authority in the
Philippines. This being true. and the
records prove it, the outbreak was
natural enough when we consider the
race to which the insurgents belong.
the oppression they had suffered for
centuries. their Unborn and cultivated
distrust of Caucasians based upon
their bitter experience with Europeans:
and. to be just and fair. these things
must be considered. But is this a
worthy motive for this enlightened
nation to plead in justification for
making war upon a tribe of Asiatic
islanders, especially a people as fires
ponsible as imperalists make out the
insurgents to be? 1t is not only I'M
worthy. but an absurd pleaA when made
by Politician chief executive who
treated the sinking of the Maine and
the cowardly massacre of 266 American
seamen as "a lamentable incident"
which he was willing to leave to Span
ish honor to settle in the coure of time
with a certified check. In the light of
history it cannot be revenge that we
seek.
Neither can it be to preserve the
nation. or to maintain the prestige of
the army. The nation is not threat
ened. There is no invasion, no boun-
dairy dispute. nobody's independence
threatened. The Tagals would not in
wade or overthrow this republic il
tHey Cuulu, ana WndI is more, they
could not if they would The nation
will be more easily preserved by keep
ing it out of Oriental complications
and European politics. Nor will the
prestige of the army gain one thing
by victory. Our success is assured
The Tagals have never for one moment
had a chance to escape inevitable de-
feat. 1t has taken ten months and it
may take more. The second army has
been dispatched to the islands and it
may take others. but we can send
them. If the president were not i'm
bued with the spirit of conquest he
would end the war by recognizing the
equal rights of all the freed colonists
to ultimate independence. AS the con-
fiict proceeds, we wait and wonder.
Critenden's words come up: WAR with
an ally must ever be ignoble strife On
its barren fields the laurel cannot
flourish. In the sordid contest but lit

No Excuse for Tranps.

In view of the fact that the
great improvements in manufac-
turing industries has in many
cases made it almost impossible
to secure a full complement Of la
Dor in this state, an exchange
asks, il there any reason to eX-
tend pity or charity to the tramp?
At this very moment the farmers
in some of the counties of the
State find it difficult to secure
enough hands to husk their corn,
and yet all of them are not infre-
quently visited by knights of the
road, either asking for food or
old raiment In times Of depres-
sion there is nothing more beau
tiful than aiding the unfortunate,
but in hours Of prosperity moth
ing more necessary than teaching
the dignity Of labor. In all prob.
ability the present good times
will last four or five years, and if
the speculative mania does not
seize the minds of men they may
continue for a decade without q
severe reaction or panic. During
this time, while there is work to
do, all men should take part The
tramp has no excuse for existence
and bread given him is but plac-
ing premium on pauperism.

A SLEEK SwINDLER.

On Monday afternoon last a
tall, slim and feeble old man near
20 years of age, called at the
Carey boarding house, in Hunt
ingdon, representing himself as
Doctor Hammond and engaged in
selling valuable medicines on the
road through the State, and ar
ranged for boarding for himself
and two others who would arrive
the next day with his team. AT
ter remaining one day and his
team and men not arriving, he
quietly stepped out forgetting to
pay his board bill.
A travelling man who Glanced
TO stop at the house Tuesday
night and hearing the case stated
said that a few months ago while
he was at Il boarding house in
Harrisburg this same old man
came to the house and made the
same statement of his business
and name and of a team with two
Of his men on the road and soon
to arrive and engaged boarding
for them. Bad weather came
and he remained four or five days
waiting for the team and men,
which never arrived. He then
sneaked off quietly leaving his
board bill behind him.
No doubt he is going through
the country in this manner, beat
ing his board and stealing what
ever may come in his way, hence
the public should be posted on his
game and he should be trapped
and an end put to his career.

PNOTOukApnlNG A TIGER,

Mr.. Gambler Bolton, the fa-
NOUS animal photographer, says
that one Of his best studies was
a tiger at the London ZOO, which
nearly put an end to his life. Mr..
Bolton was inside the barrier
which prevents the public from
going too close to the cages and
was taking a photograph of an
other tiger, when one he had not
noticed came strolling from be-
hind some rocks and made a
spring at him, A child called
out, and Mr.. Bolton darted back
just in time. His head was un-
derneath the focusing cloth when
the tiger made the attempt, and
as the camera was utterly ruined
it is pretty well certain that the
photographers head would have
been smashed to pieces. How
ever, Mr., Bolton paid the animal
out, for he egged it on to mako a
second charge and took h photo

ADVICE TO HUNT
ERS.

AS the game season is now on,
and in view of the many human
lives that are taken yearly by
careless sportsmen, the following
from the Sportsman Magazine for
September is worth reading by
all who go cunning: Do not shoot
at a noise on moving obstacle in
the bushes, but wait until the OBJ
iect is clearly recognized before
you pull the trigger. Better lose
your only chance'at a deer than
to lose your peace of mind forever
through remorseful conscious
ness of having caused the death
of Il human being. Aside from
the costly lessons that have been
taught, remember there are 9th
er hunters roaming the forest as
well as yourself.

A LETTER Ar EVENTIDE.
by PHEBA A. HOLDER.

Up the steep path | was toiling,
To gain the far-distant height,
Weary and faint with the climbing,
When, 10. u rapturous sight.
Right in the pathway founain
Bubbled up all sparkling and clear;
The rush of the pure mountain stream
let
AS music was sweet to the ear.
| drank from the cool, shining crystal,
And, strengthened, went glad on my
way,
Till the summit was gained and the
glory
Before my eager sight lay.
Thus came to me in the sweet gloaming,
All wearied with toll of the day,
A letter with heart throbs of memory,
From one trusting, faithful, away.
Right into the midst of the winter
Itbrought summer sunshine so bright,
The JOY and gladness of Lakeview
Made my heart aglow with their light.
So precious among the rich blessings,
Our heavenly Father doth send,
The letter that comes mid our longing,
Love-laden from the heart of a
friend.
The tolls of the day are forgotten,
It's cares weigh heavy no more;
| rise in the clear shining ether,
The Past with its sunlight live DER.

FOR THE LAUNDRESS.

Always wash woolens separate
ly from cottons. Wash in quite
warm water, add a tablespoonful
Of boraX to each pail of water, rub
soap into the water-not on the
woolens- and rinse in two quite
hot waters. Iron before dry, and
they will look like new until worn
out.
Do not soak clothes over night,
1t sets the dirt when the water
gets cold. Look over the Soiled
pieces and rub soap ON the worst
spots and put them in the tub
with hot water to cover. Let
them soak until the black stock
ings and woolens are washed and
out of the way. Then wash the
white clothes next and then the
colored ones.

HIS MISTAKE.

A parrot, in q remote English
country district, escaped from its
cage and settled ON the roof of a
laborer's cottage. When it had
been there u little time, the la
borer caught sight of it. He had
never seen such a thing before,
and after much gazing in admira-
ton at the bird with its curious
beak and beautiful plumage he
fetched a ladder and climbed up
it with a view of securing SO great
prize. When his head reached
the level of the top of the roof,
the parrot topped a wing at him
and said, "What dye want:"
Very much taken back, the la
borer politely touched his cap and
replied: 81 beg your pardon,
sir; | thought you were a bird. y

Wealthy Minister Marries.

The Cumberland (Md.) Allega-
Man Il few days ago published an
account of the marriage OF a
wealthy Bedford county minister
and lady who formerly resided
in Everett. 1t said
Rev. Jacob Feichtner, of Palo
Alto, Bedford county, Pa, and
Mrs. Katherine Ready, of this
city, were married at Bedford
yesterday. The marriage was a
great surprise. The groom, a
local minister in what is known
as the Albright denomination, is
very wealthy. He owns the vii
lage of Palo Alto, together with
one of the finest farms in Bed
ford county near Cooks Mills.
The bride is well known to the
travelling public, having kept a
boarding house on Front street
for many years. She has the
reputation of being the best land
lady in Allegany county and her
boarding house was patronized
by people far and near. She is Il
good woman and having secured
what she deserves, a good hus-
band, congratulations are in or
der.
The aged minister is now q firm
believer in fortune telling, as is
also his wife. Rev. Mr.. Feichter
stated to our reporter that a
short time ago he went to a for
tune teller who told him that he
would soon marry woman whose
name commenced with OK" AT
that time the minister was not
engaged to be married. He also
stated that his wife was visited
by a fortune teller some time ago
who told her that "a black curly
headed man" would want to
marry her, but to pay no alton
ton to that one as there was an
"old gray headed man coming
and for her to take him.
Rev. Feichtner is estimated to
be worth from seyenty-five to one
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. Besides owning the village
OF PalO Alto and a large farm he
owns lot Of property in and
around Ellerslie, and 290O acres
of land in West Virginia.

ness here is due entirely to the
habit of the men. 1t is reported
that Aguinaldo has inoculated
some of the U. S. prisoners in his
hands with leprosy. This rumor
has fired the boys and I can safe
ly say that there will be few pris-
oners taken in the next scrap.
The 18th Regulars who planted
the Stars and Stripes on the
Nights of San Juan, at Santiago,
have proved towards here. The
rebels use a combination knife
and boomerang called u bola.
A bola attack onthe 18th fright
ened them so badly that they
threw away their guns in their
haste to escape. They are now
in disgrace and will remain SO
until they have proved their cour-
age in some field of battle.
The rebels are very much in
want of food as these islands do
not'produce enough rice, the sta
pie article of food, to it's people.
The war has cut off the supply
of the inland towns that the reb-
els hold. They have plenty of the
latest pattern Mauser rifles sup
piled by German traders and
Spanish sympathizers; but ac-
cording to all reports they are
short of ammunition. A very in
telligent Sergeant of the 14th reg
iment told me yesterday, Che is
himself a Catholic) that the Fill
pino prisoners have repeatedly
declared that the Friars and
Monks are at the bottom of the
whole rebellion and are furnish
ing Aguinaldo with the funds to
carry ON the rebellion in the hope
of disgusting the American pub
lie with the whole islands. Con
quest means missionaries and
missionaries mean the downfall
of the power and wealth Of Fran
ciscan and Augustine Monks.
Catholicism with it's elaborate
ceremonial, is, in my opinion, the
best religion for these people, if
the church would be wise enough
to let politics alone. The league
between the church and the reb-
els was so close at one time that
the church bells were used for
signal purposes by the natives.
Anyone found ringing church
bell now is shot at sight.
Owing to the immense amount
of rain here, for 5 months of the
year, all the Filipino houses are
built on piles. Under their hous
es they have their pigs, chickens
and ducks. One company of the
10Th, goes out for post work to-
day. We leave tomorrow, ac-
cording to report, for the town
of Pasig where we will go into
the trenches and then the fun
will begin. Pasig is at the head
waters of the Pasig river and is
town of $4,000 inhabitants
There is a large lake II miles from
here called Laguna de Bay, the
PaSig river runs from this lake
to Manila Bay. The bulk of the
fighting will be along the shore
of this lake. The town of Pasig is
where the river leaves the lake.
The cheapest thing here is to
bacco, 500 cigarettes cost ,;
cents. Everybody smokes.

Sympathizers with the Doors
in their present war with Great
Britain must find almost it's sole
justification in that natural dis
position which, without reference
to the cause of a quarrel, lends
every man instinctively to side
with the weaker party. AS a
matter Of principle it violates all
our American beliefs to contend,
as the Doors do, that twenty
white men should be ruled by six;
that religious determinations
should exist; that men should be
taxed without representation;
that the colored race should be
enslaved, and that the productive
portions of a community should
have no voice whatever in its gov
errment in order that a stolid,
land-owning oligarchy might rule
without question.
At this, however, has so often
been noted that it is not our pres
ent purpose to comment upon it;
but we do wish to say a word
about this South African ques-
ton with q strictly American
point of view. The Muscovite
and the English-speaking races
are gradually dividing the earth
between them. America has be-
come the most energetic eXem-
plar of English push; but it is
Great Britain alone that gives to
this country free access to all the
markets which she controls. For
this reason, if for no other, it is
to our advantage that the British
Empire should be extended. And
as to the future-is not the her
itage all to be ours? Certainly,
unless Great Britain herself
should prefer that her great en-
pire shall pass to strangers to
her blood. institutions and Ian
guage.
Great Britain's pre-eminence
has been built by her sturdy sons
upon her iron, coal and fleets
when the iron and coal shall be
gone. The centre of empire must
then drift to the United States
the centre of power giving pro
duction. With all Europe hating
her, the United Kingdom can get
from America alone the support
which she must soon have. Thus
the work of the Revolution will
have been fully accomplished.
Putting aside the consideration
of the larger view, our interests
certainly demand that the pro
ducts of our skill and labor shall
not be excluded from any part OF
the world. The measure Of Great
Britain's success in this particu,
lar is the mea sure of ours.
