Whnt She Must ISnou

In little book Of social chatter
comment and advice, which can hardly
be called book Of etiquette, SAYS the
New York Commercial Advertiser, but
contains many sly reproaches and adj
monitions to those who consider them
selves 1.-The elect" the author SAYS of
the modern girl: What about sc-
complishments? Well, thank goodness,
the piano is going out of fashion for
girls in the best circles. They are
taught just enough Of it to let them
find out whether or not they have q
taste for it; If not, it is given I'D to
the great easement of humanity. In
the same way drawing and painting
are no longer considered indispensable
to the equipment Of girl living her
life. Her chief accomplishments are
WALKING and tennis playing. To speak
French is not exactly regarded as an
accomplishment nowadays any more
than gloves are considered a luxury.

Volunteers and Regulars.

A dignified but sweeping rebuke to
Mckinley was administered by Gov.
Lind of Minnesota. The president was
at St. Paul, and made speech to the
returned volunteers, which was, as
usual, a plea for expansion by force of
arms. Immediately afterward the gov
ernor addressed the soldiers, and said
by our growth and development the
mission of the volunteer has come to
ar end. For purposes of conquest and
subjugation he : unfit, for he carries
a conscience as we'll as a gun. The
volunteer soldier has always stood for
self-government, liberty and Justice
With your generation he will pass
from the stage of national life. His
fame and example will continue the
heritage Of our people, the theme of
story and song. May the spirit which
has ever actuated him guide our peo-
pie and temper the strength of the ma
ton which has outgrown him with the
eternal principles for which he has
fought and died.
True, most true; the man who car
ries a conscience with him is entirely
unsuited to Mckinley's expansion and
imperialism. Hired mercenaries are
what he wants, like the robber barons
of old,

CHARGESCONSPIRACY
AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
NJ. l.. Lockwood, President OF the Anti
Trust League, Says His Testimony
Attacking Combines Was Expurgnted
by Members OF the Commission.

Hon. NJ. l.. Lockwood, wealthy oil
producer of Zelienople, Pa, and presi-
dent of the American Antitrust
leaaue. is preparing statement charg-
ing several members of the industrial
commission with conspiracy and at
tempt to interdict and disguise his
sworn testimony delivered before that
body during the inquiry into the meth
DDS employed by the Standard Oil
trust. Mr.. Lockwood claims that upon
three different occasions he was sum-
moned to appear before the commission
while in executive session, and
upon each occasion was threat
ened and pleaded with to with
draw certain portions or all of his
testimony. He further states that
while the testimony was in type and
awaiting publication with other reports
of the proceedings of the commission,
he was called before an executive ses
sion of that body and again an attempt
was made to induce him to allow the
matter to be changed AS he refused
to do anything of the kind, he states
that his testimony was carefully edited
and eXpurgated by members of the
commission, without his knowledge,
and while other reports have been pub
lished, he claims that his matter has
been withheld for several months, and
it is his belief that it is the intention
of members of the commission to keep
it from the public until after the fall
campaign is closed.
The statement, Mr.. Lockwood says,
will be presented to the president and
an investigation demanded The testi-
mony of Mr.. Lockwood against the
Standard Oil company created some
thing of sensation at the time, and
the evidence was widely quoted, but
has never appeared among the pub
lished proceedings of the commission.
Mr. Lockwood has obtained a proof
sheet of the testimony as it was given
to the printers, after being edited, he
says, without his knowledge, and as it
may appear in the proceedings of the
commission. The proof sheet has been
compared with the stenographic re-
port and with the original. and the re-
suit will be offered as evidence. A
comparison shows that nearly all of
the damaging statements in his testi-
mony have been either cut out or
toned down, and this, Mr.. Lockwood
claims, was done by several members
of the industrial commission.
The testimony anent the Matthews
case has been cut out entirely. In many
places all reference to the Standard Oil
company has been taken out and other
words substituted. Figures and dates
have BEEN changed or eliminated, and
the censored testimony is weak affair,
according to the witness. Some of the
expurgated paragraphs follow:
ssWhat is the remedy? The control
Of the public highways is the most i'm
portant duty of the government. Mr..
Chairman, give me the control of the
highway over which the products OF
your labor must go to market. and let
me fix the charges, and can make you
my slave.

The Dead May Not Rule the Living.
Every age and generation must be
as free to act for itself in all cases as
the ages and generations which pre-
ceded it, The vanity and presumption
of governing beyond the grave is the
most ridiculous and insolent of all tyr
annies. Man has no property in man;
neither has any generation property
IN the generations which are to follow.
Every generation is and must be
competent to all the purposes which
its occasion requires. 1t is the living
and not the dead that are to be ac-
commodated. When man ceases to
be, his power and his wants cease with
him; and having no longer any par
tlcipatiOn in the concerns Of this
world, he has no longer any authority
in directing who shall be it's govern
ors, or how its government shall be
organized Or how administered. Those
who have quilted the world and those
who are not yet arrived in it are as
remote from each other as the utmost
stretch of mortal Imagination can
conceive. What possible obligation
can then exist between them? What
rule or principle can be laid down that
two nonentities, the one out of exist
ence and the other not in, and who
can never meet in this world, that the
one should control the other to the
end Of time ?-Thomas Paine.

An Important Omission.

President Mckinley's citations of the
treaties under which this country has
expanded in the past would be more
forcible if not more interesting were
he to call attention to one clause in
them about which he is silent. Those
treaties provided for the extension to
the inhabitants Of the newly acquired
territory of the rights of American citi
Zens. No such provision is made in the
Spanish treaty in behalf of the Fill
pinos. They are not to have the rights
of American citizens.-Chicago Public
