A MASTERFUL MAN.

james Hawley, the great attorney
who stands at the head of the Idaho
Bar, who has been honored in the
past and is undoubtedly destined fol
greater public honors in the future,
made mastery effort the other day
in arguing one of the dynamiting
cases One Corcoran. who is beng

leaders at the blowing up of $3.50,
600 worth of property, and his con
viction will signalize the determine
ton Of the administration to wipe
out black and breeding crime of the
darkest dye from our fair state.
Equal to the occasion Hawley rose
and Numbered forth such a sweeping
summing up Of the evidence, before
the judicial tribunal, such stream
of eloquence for outraged justice,
such prophetic and crushing denun-
citation of crime that 1t seemed to
come from some Humorous power

fresh from the arms of his wife at

leading a charge, he falls, pierced

any wonder that other thousands
have got into the habit of looking for
justice, mercy and charity outside Of

ALGER. THE scApE GOAT.

'And Aaron shall lay both his hands
upon the head of the live goat and con-
TESS over him all the lniquities of the
peop.e and all their transgression in all
their sins, putting them upon the head
OF the goat, and shall send him away by
The hand of a fit man into the wilderness.
And the goat shall bear upon him all
their inquiries unto land not inhabit-
ed. '-Leyilicus, NNI-2l-22.
And so down through the ages the
custom prevails. Times may change
but men never, and policy never
lacks for victim. William, tue
High Priest of the G. O. p, (Which
is to say: Grabbers Of PhilippInes)
lays his hands on Russell Alger on
whose devoted head falls and rests
the sins of the G 0 P s, and he
goes forth into the wilderness of po-
htical exile, but not to an uninhabit-
ed country by any means. He goes
back to his home in the state bound
ed by the great lakes. And all the
way from the mines and pines of the
north TO the burr oak openings in the
south he will receive an ovation.
All can see the crown Of martvrdom
he wears. Bowed down under the
weight of false accusations so gener-
ally intangible as to be unacceptable
of proof. But Alger, the scape
goat will return from his temDorar
exile to confound his accusers, and
prove that his errors, if any, were
those common to heads and not to
hearts

ROBT. INGERSOLL ON PHILIPPINE
BUTCHERY.

Several Chicago ''divines, men
educated and paid to preach the
doctrines of the gentle Jesus, not
only from their pulpits but in their
daily lives, have gone on record with
Philippine Islands DR.. Henderson
has denounced the doctrine of the
equality of man, which, in its broad
est sense, had its origin with the
Nazarene, as an emination from hell.
'palmed off by the devil upon a
credulous world DR.. Hirst saws:
"There are times when Christian
men must emphasize military
Christianity.
Hear Robert G. Ingersoll, the
great agnostic, who is not paid to
preach a so-called Christianity:
81 have one sentiment for the sol
dier, cheers for the living and tears
for the dead. If it were meet to
weep over the brave who died to rem.
der our flag stainless and keep it in
the sky, it is now in order to flood
the graves of the boys who are fall
ing in the Philippine Islands. For
they are not fighting to add lusier to
old glory, or to save the Union,
but as mere machines at the behest
of the administration, which is for
the time being the government of the
United States
"War with Spain, for which the
volunteers took up arms, has long
since ended. Congress has not de
clared war against the Filippinos nor
voted money to carry on foreign
war of conquest Then why this
thunder of guns, the flying thunder
bolts of hell, and these new made
graves rs numberless rs the stars?
IL Is war not IN the name or liberty
but against it. Our arms are not
adding glory to the flag, but instead
are staining that starry emblem of
freedom with the blood and tears of
a people fighting for the right of
self-government The soldier is not
to blame Therefore, when he falls
in such war his bier should be
draped in deepest mourning and
drenched with the tears of his fellow
countymen
Take Colonel Stotzenberg, as an
example. No Drawer, truer soldier
ever wore uniform or marched in the
shadow Of flag He only recently
remarked that he was sick of such
war and looked forward to the near
future when he and his brave yolun-
teers would be relieved from killing
men who were lighting for independ I

HAVANA STRIKE CONTINUES.
Santiago Soldiers VIII Not Accept
Their Share of Money.

Havana, May 25.-The continuance OF
inconvenience to shipping
The great thrush of vessels unable TO
unload finally led Collector Bliss TO cable
Surgeon General Wyman asking permits
sion to lay the vessels at the wharves.
The surgeon general replied that this
might be done between La Maehina and
Caballera, but only between those
wharves. Outside these limits the Amer
lean sanitary regulations prohibit the land
ing of vessels, owing to the filth which
the sewers deposit along the harbor shores.
Nine hundred lightermen are involved in
the strike. They admit that they have
been earning $50 per month, and the diff
terence between them and their employers
is small. They refused a proposal TO sub
init the matter to arbitration.
The Munson Steamship Line is the only
one not affected, that company having
its own lighters and men. The police and
military guards at the wharves have been
increased. and Commodore B. ]. Cromwell
captain of che port of Havana, has ordered
the marines to hold themselves in readi.

THEY GAVE THEMSELVES UP.
Sinclair Boys Say Willis Was KiIIed
in Self-Defenae.

Triton, Ga, May 25.-The Sinclair broth
ers Henry and Ben, who killed their
brother-in-law, T. L. Willis. in Worth
county, April II last, voluntarily came for
ward yesterday afternoon and surrendered
to Sheriff Story of Worth.
Sheriff Story had been notified 10 meet
them in Triton, and came down yesterday
evening to meet them.
While here, the boys filed their state
ments of the killing, and their interroga-
tories were taken before Justice Youmans
preparatory to application for bail, which
will be made at once.
According to the boys statements, the
shooting was done by Henry Sinclair, and
Ben had nothing to do with il. Henry
claims that Willis knocked him down and
had him by the throat with one hand, and
his knife open in the other when the first
shot was fired. He says that Willis
jumped back, but was again advancing on
him when the other shots were fired, and
that the killing was in self-defense. This
statement is corroborated by Ben Sinclair
There is little doubt but the application
for bail will be granted by Judge Spence,
is the evidence is strongly in the boys
favor. Since the killing they have been
near where their father is at work, in
Irwin county.
Sheriff Story left with his prisoners for
Isabella this morning, where they were
placed in jail awaiting the result of the
application for trial, which viii probably
be heard in Albany June S.
