A War Congress Souvenir.

An interesting and valuable memento of
the late war has been issued by o. E. Hod-
dick & Co., of Buffalo, N. Y, in the form
of a large scroll which bears the auto
graphs of the members of the Senate and
House of the Fifty fifth, or Spanish -Ameri-
can, War Congress. The autographs of the
Justices of the Supreme Court are also in
scribed. At the base of the scroll is a
magnificent photograph of the Capitol and
diagrams of the Senate and House. The
scroll is the more interesting because il
contains the signatures of those members
of the War Congress who have passed away
recently.

Sympathy. and Succor.

1t ia reported Of Abraham
Lincoln that during the war
he frequently visited the hos
pitfalls and addressed cheer
ing words to the wounded
warriors. On one occasion he
found a young fellow whose
legs had been amputated, and
was sinking fast. "Is there
anything / can do for you?"
asked Lincoln. "You might t
write u letter to mother, was
the faint reply. The President
wrote at the Youths dicta-
tion, my dear mother, l

duty. They tell me l cannot
recover, God bless you and
father, kiss Mary and John

these words as a postscript:
"This letter was written by
Abraham Lincoln" When
the boy perused the epistle,
and saw those added words,
he looked wit b astonished
gaze at the visitor and ask.

A Comedy Of the Woolsack.
Chicago Record.
There was a comical scene
in the House of Lords n q t
long ago when it beca me nee
essary for the Lord High
Chancellor, the Earl of Halls
bury, having been advanced
in the peerage. to introduce
himself to himself and well
come himself to the House of
Lords. On the day appoint
ed for the proceedings t h e
Marquis of Salisbury-then
as nowPrime Minister-arose
and announced that Her Ora
cious Majesty, tho Queen,
had been pleased to confer an
earldom upon Lord Halbury.
His Lordehip, who is a nerv-
GUS little man, and reminded
one OF General Wheeler, climb
ed down from the wooIsack,
and fled from the chamber in
a most undignified manner,
clutching in his grasp a scar
let velvet bag, which held
the great seal of the empire.
A few minutes later he reap
peared, having doffed the
Lord Cbancellor's robes and
arrayed himself in the Earl's
robes of scarlet 'and ermine.
He was escorted by the black
rod and the king of arms az
usual, and by two friends.
When the procession reached
the woolsack they paused
and bowed reverently to the
empty chair. Then it passed
on and Lord Halsbury hum,
bly, knelt before the empty
throne and placed upon the
seat his patent earldom. He
was then formally escorted
by his sponsors to the Earl's
bench where, according to
the ritual, he arose n d
made three bows to the va
cant wooIsack and three! to
the vacant throne. At this
stage of the proceedings the
new peer should have been
met by the Lord Chancellor
and offered a'welcome to the
House, but it may be taken
for granted that Lord Halls
bury shook hands.:with him
self most heartily, and gave
himself a welcome quite as
cordial as he had ever given
to his colleagues, because the
enrldom had been very much
wished for and long lin CON-
ing. The other peers crowd
ed around to congratulate
him, but he freed himself
from them as rapidly as pos
sible, retired for five minutes
and then resumed his seat up
on tho woOlsack as If moth
ing had happened.

Different Treatment Of Cubans and
Fllipinos.
News and Observer.
The opponents OF the policy
of the administration in the
Philippine question believe
that if the Filipinos had been
assured that they would be
given their independence, the
recent war there would have
been avoided.
The conditionsi in Cuba were
ripper for war than in the Phil
ippine islands, and the Gu
hans were restrained fro m
conflict because Of assurance
that they should have a gov
ernment of their own when
the American army could be
safely withdrawn. That gave
satisfaction and secu red
peace.
There never was any occa.
sion for our having an army
of occupation in the Philip
pines. If the President had
not departed from his origi-
nal instructions to the Paris
Commissioners, the r zee mt
bloody scenes and worse car
pet-bag government scand.
ala would have been averted.
In the evil moment he listen
ed to bad advice and instruc
ted the Commissioners to pay
twenty million dollarsfor the
islands. When that treaty
was ratified. there still re-
mained an honorab bic course
If we desired to dojustice. We
might have told the Filippi-
nos that as soon as quiet was
restored they would be per-
mitted to establish a govern
ment of their own, OF course
assuming the debt we h a d
contracted in payingSpain to
abandon it's already | o 9 t.
claim of sovereignty. Such
an assurance would h a v e
been approved by the Ameri
can people, would not have
violated the spirit of the Mon
roe doctrine and would have
been in accord with our tra-
ditional spirit of avoiding
"entangling alliances"
Instead of pursuing that
policy, we told the Fillpinos
in our proclamation:
"The supremacy of the Uni
ted States must and will be
enforced throughout every
part of the archipelago, and
those who resist 1t can accom-
plish no eud other than their
own ruin"
Those people had been figh-
ting for months for the right
to govern themselves, q n d
had almost won the victory,
when Dewey appeared upon
the scene. Was it natural for
them to submit without a
struggle after welcoming Dew
