The EiEe Il Drawn.

The issue between the political
parties is very plain There is really
but one question before the American
people and that is whether the policy
of President Mckinley in the Philip
pines shall be sustained or not. The
Republican party stands with the
President The Democrats and Popu-
lists. by their platforms and by the
speeches of their acknowledged
leaders are against the President
The policy Of the President is to re-
store peace and order in the Philip
piEes and then determine the kind af
future government in those islands.
The Republicans favor this, the Demo-
Populists oppose it, and the question
each voter has to determine is which
side he is on. It is not a question of
expansion or of Imperialism, but
whether you want to see the American
army lick or be licked. This may
seem a strong statement. but calmly
considered. the position Of the Demo-
Populist party is in favor CT a victory
for Aguinaldo. Sons of tho Demo-
Populists like ex-Congressman S.mp-
son, openly proclaim this to be the
case while others more or less disguise
the fact by genera!itics and misstatc-
menta
When the rainy season is over and
the campaign begins. a victory for the
American army would injure the
Demo-Popu,ist party and victory Cor
Aguinaldo would fill them with de-
light because it would weaken the
people in support OF the admin;stra-
ton. For the sake of few Offices
and to beat the Republican party the
Demo Popuiist politicians have taken
this position and If a number of the
Democrats and POpriists refuse to
follow them but prefer to hope and
vote for the success of the American
flag. they have only themselves to
blame. The way to avoid being called
a copperhead or an ally of Aguinaldo
is not to be copperhead Or wish for
Aguinaldo's success.
There will be a new alignment, es-
pecially for those who went into the
Democratic and Populist parties to
secure free silver, free trade or some
economic reform in which they be-
lieve. The question is now one Of
-Americanism and q D.mo-Populist has
as much right to be an American as a
Republican has, and the only way to
show it is to rebulse the political
bosses and vote the Republican ticket

Naples Landlord Who 1istook Dewey
for Buffalo Bill.

Washington Post: In connectie1
with the visit CT Admiral Dewey II
Naples, an amusing story is told. It i:
highly illustrative CT the dense igno-
rance of the Neapolitans as to current
events in other parts Ct the world. 1t
seems that the inhabitants of that
beautiful bat sleepy city were not
aware OF the presence of their distin-
guished guest, although the Italian
journals in other cities had contained
great accounts of the exploits of the
American naval commander. The
English and American colonies were
very profuse in their display Of the
stars and stripes, and the newspapers
of that city might have been aware.
had they not slumbered, that an Amer
lean of some distinction was about to
honor the burg with a visit. 1t was
not until the day after the admiral's
landing, however, that the Naples
press awoke to the Importance Of their
guest. Even then, instead Of annoInc-
ing the fact with adequate headlines,
the mention was wedged in, with or
binary type, between the police news
and the daily reports on the spaghetti
output. A well-known English broker.
who was putting up at one Of the flea
infested hotels of the city, was very
desirous of paying his respects to
Dewey as soon as he should arrive.
The broker, who butchers tine dulcet

question his oily ond garrulous land

A Battle-Scarred Heroine.

There is a very handsome young
woman in Washington, rather we'll
known in art circles, who had the mis-
fortune to fall down stairs a few years
ago, so badly fracturing one Of her
knees that the limb had to be ampu-
tated, relates the Washington Post.
The young woman, of course, walks
with the aid of crutches. She is not
in the least sensitive about the mat
ter, and she doesn't mind informing
properly introduced people of the ma
ture of the accident which MANNED
her. She has set little limit, however.
and she was compelled to use it one
afternoon recently. She got into an F
street car, bound for the hill, and
found herself in the same seat with a
sharD-faced woman, who seemed to
take whole lot of interest in her and
her crutches. She scrutiniZed the
young woman's face carefully for
couple of minutes, then turned her at
tention to the workmanship of the
crutches, which she took the liberty to
handle curiously. Then she looked the
young woman over again, and leaned
over to her. Dye mind tellin' me
how you lost your leg?" she asked,
raspily. Not in the least" responded
the young woman, amiably. u lost it

NEUROLOGICAL Reform.

In his presidential address before the
Society for the Promotion OF Engineer
ing Education, DR.. Mendenhall advo-
Gated the adoption Of the metric sys-
tenn Of weights and measures. He said
that there is a certain class of object
ors who see something sacred in the
yard and the pound because they are
relics Of antiquity. and something in
herently wicked in the meter and tha
kilogram because they originated with
the French during the revolution at
the close OF the last century. He quot
ed the words of Charles Sumner in the
senate, uttered more than thirty years
ago: "a system of weights and meas
ures born of philosophy rather than
chance is what we now seek. To this
end old systems must be abandoned"

Speed of an Automobile.

The greatest speed Of motor-car
yet recorded is nearly sixty-six miles
an hour. A Belgian inventor, NJ. Co.
mile Jenatzy. in April this year de-
termined, if possible, to break the
kilometer record of IS 3-5 seconds
made by Count de Chasseloup Laubat.
The course was perfectly straight
and level road running through the
new sewage farm lying off the high
way between Saint-Germail and Con-
stance. The car which Jenatzy rode
was the "Jamais Contente," which is
built of sheet-iron. and is torpedo
shaped so as to offer as little resistance
to the wind as possible. The first kilo-
meter was ridden in Al As seconds.
and the second in "a seconds. which is
equivalent to 1O5.S82 kilometers (65
miles 1,4C4 yards) in the hour. La
Jamais Contente" is not even yet salts
fed, for Jenatzy thinks that he will be
able to do the flying kilometer at the
rate of about 12O kilometers, or about
15 miles an hour.

THE EBON CROSS.

Ny friend. Robert Thurston, is a
man whose real character, and that in
dtcated by his appearance, are as far
dtherent as can be imagined. He is
the proverbial black sheep" of the
family. and yet, despite all his wild
ness. he has often been mistaken for a
clergyman. Here is the story of one of
my ncmadic friends adventures, as
related by himself:
was in Paris. Thu city and its
ways were well known to me, while
my circle of acquaintance was not
small.
One day, while wandering about the
city alone, l came to a standstill at
the corner OF one of the most fashion
abe streets. A man passed me who
looked very searchingly into my face.
In few minutes he returned, and
again favored me with that annoying
stare.
Il beg your pardon, monsieur, but is
not this Alaris?
The man was sincere, and I COM
pretended that l was mistaken for
some other person, but was about to
deny all knowledge when the desire
for little sport overcame my more
serious inclinations, and l gravely re-
piled:

ued. with an air of satisfaction. Those

terrible for contemplation.

resolved to carry out the part had
undertaken.

did you ever hear of a marriage
ceremony being performed where the
bride refused to give her consent to the
union?" demanded NJ. Jules Levane,
fixing a gaze upon me as though he
would read my very thought.

A boy named Veasy, having escaped
from the workhouse at Hinckley..
Leicestershire, England, the porter was,
ordered to proceed to Stanton, a neigh
boring village, and bring him back.
The porter went to Stanford on a BIZ
cycle. and, finding the lad, tied both
his arms with rope, and, attaching
the end Of it to his bicycle, dragged
hip back to Hinckley, the man riding
at good speed. The affair has created
a great sensation in the district, and at
the recent meeting of the Hinckley
guardians the board expressed their
strong condemnation of the porter's
conduct. One member of the board
said the boy was exhausted by the
treatment melted out to him. At the
meeting the porter's resignation was
rendered and accepted, the mans ex-
PLANTATION for resigning being that he
did not care for the treatment he re-
ceived from the Migrants.

TOOK THE UNWILLING BRIDE ASIDE.

low, you would, without doubt. have
been greatly shocked at the course
was taking; but it just suited me. and
saw before me prospect of rich pleas
ure.
So followed on after my guide. who
finally paused before one Of the most
pretentious mansions Of the city, and
applied for admission. While We wait
ed for an answer to his summons,
read the name upon the door plate Of
the mansion. 1t was NJ. Jules Levane.
The servant who answered the bell
admitted US without question. and my
companion conducted me through sew
eral rooms into the library. and then
left me with the announcement that he
would at once send NJ. Levane to my
presence.
The mystery was deepening. This
house. with its magnificence, was such
as might we'll be inhabited by prince.
and / began to fear had carried my
Joke too far.
The reflection that 1t was now too
late to retreat caused me to determine
to keep up the deception for time
longer. and l heard advancing foot
steps with the utmost tranquility.
A tall, imperious-looking man OF
about so years entered, and. while sa-
luting me, kept his gaze constaaay
fixed upon me.
You are the clergyman sent here by
Col. de Lisle?" he questioned, abrupt
".
''Sent - the corner Of - and -
Streets" amended, at a venture.
"And you are the gentleman who was
directed to answer to the name OF
Alaris?'
II am"
Every good. Did Col. de Lisle in
form you as to the nature Of the busi-
ness in hand?'
HE did not" I ventured to affirm.
VERY well: 1 will make it plain to
you. First. however. l presume you
are the bold, fearless man Col de Isle
agreed to send to ms-one willing to
perform a bold deed for a pecuniary
lnducement?"

was agreed, however, that the rever-
end gentleman should wear upon his
breast a peculiar black cross, and 1t
was by that my man recognized him."
NJ. Levane here arose and went to a
desk in one corner of the room. This
he unlocked, and took therefrom
stout canvas bag. which was half filled
with glittering gold. He laid the bag
before me, and then continued:

and so applied to NJ. Levane for per-
mission to argue the case with her. He
readily consented to this. and l took
the unwilling bride aside and ex-
planned the circumstances Of the case
to her. She was at first inclined to
doubt my statements, but succeeded
in convincing her OF my truthfulness
at length, and by my advice she con-
scented to let the ceremony proceed,
when assured that it would be mere
farce.

as diplomatist, and the marriage was
at once performed. Mile. Marie acted

The only kick that our Populist
friends have upon the present condi-
tions is that prices Of products have
advanced and arc now too high. One
of the beautiful things about the
Populists is that they can always take
tine contrary side. Three years ago
the contention by that organization
was that the prices of products were
too low and they mourned with great
fervor over the great depression Of
prices which had followed the fall of
silver. Now they are just IS loudly
mourning that prices are too high,
although they do not in this instance
say it is because of the fall in silver.
The man who expects to have pros
peri.y without also having high prices

It is a fact that practically every
thing from q wire nail to Texas
steer costs more now than it did dur
ing the glorious days of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, and if one is
ready to give the credit to the Repub-
lican party for the change that has
come in conditions. it is doubtless fair
to charge to the Republican party the

remind us of that story of
the Irishman who was contin-
ually telling the advantages of
Ireland over his adopted country.
He complai ned of the high price of
potatoes saying that in Ireland they
could be bought for a shilling a
bushel. Why" asked the listener.
don't you 60 hack to the place where
potatoes are shilling bushel?"
Because when l got there l could
not get the shilling"
That is exactly the condition our
Populist friends wish to return to
Under the tariff law and economic
administration of Mr. Cleveland every
thing was cheap from machinery to
potatoes. but as in Ireland the man
who wanted them didn't have the
shilling.
Prices are made high because of the
demand for the products More peo-
pie now have money with which to
buy beef than they did in 1896 and
therefore cattle are higher. More
people are building houses and adding
improvements to their old ones, for
which they require lumber and nails.
and therefore lumber and nails ars
higher. There are more employers
seeking employees and therefor wages
are higher. The Populist brethren
who find in these things cause for
complaint are driven to great
straits and are entitled to SYM
pathy as well as criticism. II order to
be against the government in Amer
lea the same as in the Philippines,
it is necessary for them to complain
about existing conditions and as at
present these are good they are driven
to position which is exactly oppo-
sit to the one they took in the cam.
raign of 90. The Repub lican party is
opposed to cheap prices and cheap
men and if the Popu!ist party wants
to stand in favor of those oppositions
there will be no objections from the
Republican side of the house.
