from what magazine the Stage Stories

EARNS HIS SALARY.

.. According to the reports in the dalies
of the. proceedings in the legislature it
appears that the minister who says pray
ers for the solons at the rate of $500 per
prayer, asked the good Lord. one day
after the skirmish at Manila, to rise up
and Stay the natives of the Philippines
and to give the American forces strength
to wipe the insurgents off from the face
of the earth. While no patriotic Amer
lean can under any circumstances wish
and hope to see the forces of his own
land defeated in any armed contest, yet
it would seem that this occurrence was
one so sad and deplorable that it could
not be the occasion for any feeling other
than regret, and we think our friend of
ttsc, Gospel allowed himself to be moved
by feelings that should not inspire SER
want of the gentle Nazarene, when he
gave vent TO expressions of that kind.
If we have a humane mission in that
archipelago it is to civilize it's natives
and improve their conditions. This can
hardly be done by exterminatlng them
by q liberal use of lead If it is neces-
sary IN order to accomplish something
that ought to be done, kill them, but let
the hope rather be expressed that the
number be small and the necessity for
taking human life not urgent. Reverend
Sir, we are somewhat inclined to believe
that you are one of those ministers who
drink at the fountain of worldly ambi-
{ ton and prevailing sin, instead of from
1 that at Galilee, Gather around you those
of your kind and disposition, join hands
and HE yourself off to where your hypo-
critical chantings cannot be heard jar
ring upon the ears of liberty and justice
loving men.

amount of money that the state may
find itself under obligations to pay I'M

poets for increase in that business in the
state bounties TO the extent of several

CLEAN AS NEW SNOW.

As was expected from the start the
commission appointed by the president
to investigate charges against the war
department, has returned report white
washing Secretary Alger and, in fact, the
entire management of the war, except
General Miles, whom they criticise quite
severely.
Now, no one who watched the progress
of the war failed to note that Miles was
about the only practical and efficient
man in command of the land forces, and
yet there was determined disposition
on the part of the war department to
supercede him and place him in the
back ground whenever and wherever pos
sible. This seemed at the time of the
Santiago campaign to be the unanimous
verdict of the press and the public. Gen.
Miles, who should have been the active
commander of the entire war by virtue
Of his position, was placed IN complete
charge of only one thing and that was
the expedition to Porto Rico. In this he
demonstrated his ability as military
leader so we'll that he won the applause
of the entire country while Alger frowned
upon his success. This made Secretary
A'ger even more unpopular than he had
been before, and charges came so thick
and fast against the management of the
war by the war department that it was
necessary that something be done to stem
the tide of rising public indignation and,
if possible, reverse it. To accomplish
this commission was appointed by the
president to investigate. And they have
investigated and reported as before
stated.
It matters not what this commission
found as result of it's probing of the
charges; it will never succeed in convlnc-
ing the public that there was not an al
most criminal incompetence and negll
gence somewhere and for which some
one must be held accountable. That
chemically treated and cured beef was
sold to the army in large quantities and
that it has ruined for life the stomachs
and health of thousands of soldiers is
something that can be demonstrated and
proven outside Of this commission and if
the administration thinks that the coun-
try intends to accept the verdict of that
body unqualifedly it makes sad mis-
take. A larger jury and an impartial
one at that, will sit in this matter later
on when the evidence will be carefully
and a verdict turned in accord
ing to the evidence.

REASONS GOOD ENOUGH.

A great hue AMI cry has been raised
over the discharge Of G. L. Smith as AS
sistant Dairy Commissioner and about
the letter written by Maj. Bowler, the
new commissioner, to Smith advising
the latter that he had been superseded
IN Office and that his services would no
longer be required.
1t seems that in this letter Bowler ex-
pressed regret that the removal of Smith
was political necessity especially
as they were comrades of the G.. A.
r. Now, what is wrong about this, and
what means these yelps sent up from the
defenders Of 4O-year pap suckers? We
have no doubt but that Smith was a
competent man in the position and there
is as little doubt IN our mind, too, that
there existed the very best political rea-
sons for summary and unceremonious
discharge of this man Smith. Reasons
of state and very substantial ones at
that This Smith has from time when
"the mind of man runneth not to the
contrary" been one of the most preju-
diced and bitter republican politicians in
the state and has never hesitated to use
any means at his command to advance,
by fair means OF otherwise, the political
party which lie so faithfully served. AS
an officer and employee of the state he
drew a yearly salary and was supposed
to devote his time and attention to the
duties his office imposed upon him. But
like that other laborer in the republican
vinyard, at state expense, L. G.. Pow
ers, Mr.. Smith forgot that he was SER
want Of the people and went around the
state preaching the doctrines of high
protective tariff, gold standard and gen
eral prosperity. AS citizen he had an
undoubted right to do this but as state
employee Mr.. Smith did too much of it
'ses vas entirely too active in his en-
deaHors to make political machine, OPP
Grated for the benefit of his party, out
of the department. with which he was
connected and which was intended to be
operated in the interest of dalrying and
pure food.
And why should not Bowler express
regret that such a lamentable state of af-
fairs existed in the department of his
comrade and why should he not feel
sorry that Smith had not so conducted
himself that an honest and clean admin
istratiop could retain him in office2 By
retaining James Compton, a republican,
as Assistant Public Examiner, and other
republicans who have proven themselves
to be worthy, the present administration
has fully demonstrated to the public that
ability and faithful service is and will
be recognized, wherever found, regard
less of political affiliations, Maj. Bow
ler's reasons were sufficient AID furnish
a good foundation for the action he took.
So we say, let Smith howl! 1t will
only serve to more clearly indicate to
the public that the charges made against
him are true, and he will, by his actions,
vindicate the administration.

tolthe smelters of pig iron manufactured
within this state was defeated in the
house last week. Taxing one class Of
people for the purpose of aiding anoth-
er, CT to encourage some industry in
which only small proportion of the
taxpayers are engaged, is justifiable on
ly where the entire community will
eventually reap return for the money
thus invested. But cases of that kind
are rare and the practice should be linn
tied within those bounds. The house
did the proper thing. Might as well
offer bounty on shorthorn calves.

puplllstlc Gentlemen.

With very slight exceptions, the va rious states of the Union have laws up on their statute books prohibiting prize fighting. and this, we believe, has had tendency towards doing away with much of the brutality that formerly prevailed, and brought the manly art" to question of science and endurance.
 When Corbett became the champion of the world, it was generally admitted that the belt had gone into the keeping of gentleman, and owing to the repu- tation he bore in that line, great number of people regretted his defeat by the Cornishman, but it appears that in recent change of the temporary ownership, the belt still remains in the hands of man, whose use of the en- glish language will compare favorably with that so commonly employed by the we'll trained diplomats of the day.
 Just before the recent contest be- tween Jeffries and Sharkey, the two fighters issued written statements, and while apparently intended for the pub lie at large, they seemed, in form, to be intended to bring consternation to the minds of the contestants.
 Gentleman Jeffries begged to extend his compliments to Mir. Sharkey, and at the same time to express the poign- ant grief which he feels in the knowl- edge that in the course of his business he will be compelled to disarrange the facial makeup of the sailor man. Mir. Sharkey, the sailor man, was no less ex- quisite and eloquent, when he extend ed the glad hand to MT. Jeffries, and deplores the necessity which will com pei him to send, temporarily at least, the Los Angeles boiler-maker into re- tirement.
 Such extreme politeness on the part of these pugilistic gentlemen will sure ly have tendency to modify the pred judice that has recently become ex- ceptionally strong.

Dr. SHELDON JACKSON.
A Brief sketsh of Ills Early Llfe--The First
 t Ordained Missionary To Alaska.

I3r. Sheldon Jackson is probably the bes known man in Alaska, and yet but little is really known of the man and his lie work He has been abused and vilifed by the press of the distrietand leading papers of the coast cities have taken up the weird refrain, and yet as far as we have been able to learn, his defamers cannot truthfully point to any absolute wrong on his part. A condensed biography of the man will no doubt be of interest toeour readers.
 He was born in Minaville,. N. I. in 1884, and graduated from Union Col Iege in 1855, and from the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1858, and was ordained minister the same year by the Albany Presbytery.
 He entered the service of the Foreign Missionary Board and intended to go to Asia or Africa, but on account of in- adequate health he was not sent to ei- ther of these countries, but went to the Indian Territory, south of Kansas. The climate did not agree with him and he accepted an appointment to Minnesota and Wisconsin where he remained from 1859 to 1869, except that during the fall of 1863, he served in the hospi- tals of Tennessee and Alabama. His work was so satisfactory that in 1870, he was placed at the head of the Pres byterian Missions from Mexico to Can ada and from Nevada to Nebraska. In | 1872 the results of his work had increas- ed west of the Missouri river, in place of 12 presbyteries, 115 ministers, 147 churches and 7,188 members of that body, there are now 64 bresbyteries, ,4O1 ministers, 1,408 churches, and 125, GOO communicants. There has been a corresponding increase of other denomi nations. His work in that new coun- try was full of danger and he had many escapes from death that seemed mar vicious, and on one occasion he was res cued by a miner, when he could go no farther.
 In August 1877, he visited Alaska as the first ordained missionary from the United States and located school teacher at Fort Wrangel. From that time to 1885 Dr. Jackson worked with untiring energy for the improvement of the natives in this district, giving his whole time and attention to that work, and in the latter year, he was appoint ed general agent of the national educa- tional department for Alaska, posi- tion he still holds.
 At the instance of Dr. Jackson, a conference was held in New York by the leading churches and the District of Alaska was divided between them for the purpose of preventing a conflict of interests, and also to more speedily advance the work. He also established several religious papers to aid him.
 pr. Jackson's whole life has been consecrated to missionary work, which everyone knows is one of danger, de- privation and hardship. One of his greatest sacrifices has been to be de-
