Are Men?

In view of the fact that President
Mckinley wants an army of 10O,0OO
men to govern the Filipinos, the Gu.
bans and Porto Ricans all the argu-
ments used for the freedom of this
country aud all that Lincoln used in
behalf of the freedom of slaves are ap-
plicable for the self government of the
Cubaps, Porto Ricans and Filipinos'
In combating Douglass pleas for popu-
lar sovereignty in that it gave the peo-
pie of the territory ''self government
Lincoln replied:
1.-THE doctrine Of self-government is
right, absolutely and %eternally right,
but it has no just application as here
attempted. Or perhaps l should rath-
er say, that whether it has such appli-
cation depends upon whether a negro is
or is not a man. If he is not a man, in
that case he who is a man may as a
matter of self-government do just what
he pleases with him. But if the negro
is a man, is it not to that extent a total
destruction of self-government to say
that he too shall not govern himself?
When the white man governs himself,
that is self government; but when he
governs himself and also governs anoth
er man, that is more than self-govern-
ment-that is despotism. What l do
say is that no man is good enough to
govern another man without that 9TH
er's consent"

New Jerseys Soldiers Home.

The operations of the Soldiers Home
at Kesrny for the last year are told IN
the annual report of the board OF man
ayers Of that institution, just printed
There were $50 inmates of The Home
at the close of the fiscal year, and the
Home has reached its limit OF accomoda-
ton. The managers say:-"As h
number of applicants for admission Is
increasing daily, it is necessary that h
Stale add to its present buildings or
that a system of outdoor relief he
promptly organized. The latter, it is
suggested would be more economical to
the State and beneficial TO the veterans,
many of whom, with wives and chill
dreu, would prefer to remain with their
families and keep up the home with all
it's eudearing associations"
A year ago there were 552 inmates,
and during the year 225 more we're re-
ceived. Of TT there were 1871 married,
22S widowers, and 1852 single men.
During The year 1873 beneliciaries were
discharged, 3S were dropped from the
rolls, and Sc died at the Home. The
average age of the $50 now at the
Home is 65.03 years. The nativities Of
the III b%eneficiaries of the last year are
given AS follows:-United States, 462;
Ireland, lag; Germany. SO; England,
3S; all other countries, So. Four hun
bred aud forty. seven of the $50 inmates
receive a pension.
The expenses for the year were $780,
1l4.O5, and the receipts, including a
balance on hand of S5,673.0o were $t7,-
800 26. OF these receipts $2O,OO0 was
appropriated by the State and S34,674-
10 was received by the United States
government.
Superintendent Rogers in his part OF
the report makes reference to the EN-.
ployment Of trained female nurses, and
says the result has been most s%atisfact-
ory. He also says that the increasing
age of the veterans is making necessary
the employment of more civilian help.

Beginning to See Gold COLLINS.

Beginning to See Gold COLLINS.
The formation of a milk trust, q cor
poration under the name of the Phil
adelphia Milk Company, with an au-
thorized capital of 100000, of which
S2500 is said to be paid in has caused
former A~ssemblyman Joseph B. Girls
penn, "the farmers friend" to publish
the following in last weeks Monitor
Register.
"Will the farmers of New Jersey be
foolish enough to bind themselves I'M
der a corporation or trust that Will
crush out their life's blood, and to
whose demands they will be required to
bow when they get control of the milk
supply, or will they say we will be our
own bosses? When we cannot do bus
mess for ourselves and have to come
under corporation and trust and bosses,
to be dictated to and have ne voice or
vote, we had better close our doors ana
quit doing business for ourselves.
Shall we be governed by lords and
dukes and kings, as the poor people OF
European powers are 10. day, or shall
we, as American citizens, be free and
Independent according to the Constitu-
ton of the United States? These trusts
paint in glowing terms what they will
do and what an inducement they offer
for five years, but they fail to tell you
what they will do at the end OF i've
years. We already see the handwrit-
ing on the WALL Now We have you
by the throat; take what we give you
or get OUT You have no place to get
out--you are in a hole-and sinking
deeper every day. You have sold your
birthright for a penny.
81 trust the farmers and producers
of milk will not look through a glass
darkly, but look before they leap into
the sea. This trust offers q cents for
six months, which is Z of a cent under
the market price, and for the other six
Il cents, which is 4 lower than L ever
sold a can of milk for in my life. Do
not be duped. If the farmers do not
20 to them the trust will fall"
Mr.. Crispen is at the head of an Or
ganization of milk producers. 1t will
be seen which come out head, the AUST
composed of middle men OF the produce
ers.
60 Trusts are formed to lower the price
received by the producer and raise or
keep up the price to consumers. Of
course a big dividend is expected on
the watered capital stock.
What is the remedy to break up the
trusts2 We have tried a low tariff
with a gold standard and a high tariff
with a gold standard, under which
more trusts have been formed than
ever before. Suppose the mints be
opened to the free coinage of silver, as
a remedy. Senator w. V. Allen, and
other close students of the money ques.
tion says that when that is done trusts
and monopolies will vanish like snow
before a summer sun.
The gold trust is the SOW that breeds
all other trusts.

ing army in the time of peace and
should never need one. The strength
of the Nation is In the willingness Of
the people to rise to arms in their own

During the debate on the Hull bill
to provide for a standing army 100000
men. Congressman John J. Lentz, of
Ohio, a member of the House Commit

The present bill to establish u Euro

Mausers, as well as in the presence of
horse doctors in fever.stricken camps,
and their patience and long suffering in

the world that the volunteers are de.

imputations and reflections imposed
upon them by the suggestion at the

system of Europe.

We need no standing army.
On European lines,
No war machine to carry out

If trouble comes to Uncle Sam
Why, as In former years,
He'll place his faith all steadfast
In his Yankee volunteers.
They've never failed to answer
When he saw fit to call;
They rally round Old Glory,
True Patriots one and all.

And the old mans heart it cheers
To feel he needs no army

AN INNS SECRET.
Sample of How Warrants Were Prepared
go. In Old Times.


During the work CT rebuilding the
Royal Bull hotel Of hartford, England,
an old hosiery and landmark, some In
teresting discoveries were made last
month, says the Baltimore Sun. IN
1773 a murder had been committed at
the house and the body disappeared
mysteriously. A skeleton now dug up,
three feet below the flooring Of an old
cellar, leads to the belief that 1t was
the remains of the victim of the ira
gedy. A secret staircase was brought
to light, and, as this communicates by
invisible doors in the walls Of the cell
lar with the room in which the tragedy
occurred, 1t strengthens the belief that
the body was taken down the stair
case and buried. At the same time a
number Of death warrants, bearing the
signature Of Portland, minister OF
George HI, were found in the panels
of the walls in which the murder was
committed. How documents Of this
character got into so strange q hiding
place isfa matter for conjecture. One,
dated June, 1893, Is good sample OF
how warrants were prepared In those
days. 1t .reads: Whereas, James
O'Coigley, having been attained OF
| high treason and had sentence passed
| upon him to be drawn upon a hurdle
to the place OF execution and to be
hanged by the neck, but not until he
is dead, but that, being alive, he shall
be taken down and his bowels taken
out and burnt before his face, that his
head shall be severed from his body
and his body divided into four parts
and that his head and body shall be
disposed Of as we think fit, and where
as we think fit to remit that part o.
the sentence directing the burning O.
his bowels and dividing the body into
four parts, our will and pleasure 1!
that he shall be drawn and hanged an(
have his head severed from his body.
