THE censorship OF the news from Manila is
simply intolerable The people are entitled
to have every bit Of information that can be
given them. They can be trusted to do the
right thing at all times if fully informed as to
the situation. ItIseems strange, after our
experience in the war Of the rebellion, that it
should be necessary To- impress this on any
ones mind Then there was the freest pos
sible communication between the amy and
the people, and not an ugly detail was allowed
to be hidden. People who could not be shaken
in their determination by the awful slaughter
of their sons at Gettysburg and the Wilder
ness can be safely trusted with full details Of
the skirmishing around Manila

Shorty Writes Letter 10 Maria KIeyg and Enters Upor
His Parental Relations TO Little Pete Skidmore.

The self-sufficient, self-reliant Shorty
had never before had anything TO so COM
pletely daze him.
"Ackchelly letter from Maria Klegg.
Writ of her own free will and accord. And
she 1Udnts to hear from me-" he murmured,
reading the letter over and over again. and
scanning the envelope as if by intensity of
gaze he would wiring more from the mute
white paper. The thought was overpower-
ing that it had come directly from her soft
hand; at she had written his name upon
it; that her lips had touched the stamp upon
it. He tenderly folded up the letter and
replaced it in the envelope. His thoughts
were too tumultuous to sit still. He would
walk and calm himself. He wrapped the
piece of Maria's dress around the letter,
rose and started off. He had gone but a
few steps when it seemed to him that he had
not caught the full meaning of some of the
words in the letter. He sought a secluded
place where he could sit down, unseen by

BLACK EYE FOR VETERANS
PREFERENCE.

In 1897 the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed a law prohibiting the removal of hon
orably discharged veterans from Office OF
public employment without charges being
filed and sustained. The last municipal
election in Harrisburg was a hot contest,
and resulted in the election of a Democrat
as Mayor. He was OF the JackSOnian type,
and believing that to the victors belong the
spoiIs, at once dismissed all the Republicans
on the police force Among these were three
veterans of good record on the force, and
against whom there was nothing but their
politics. They Immediately brought suit to
restrain the Mayor from dismissing them.
The case came before Judge Weiss, of Dauphin
County, who has declared the law uncon-
stitutiOnal though, in his opinion, he says
that he thinks there is no law upon the statute
books of the State the aims and impulses OF
which are more praiseworthy and generous
than this act OF 1897" Still, he must find 1t
inconsistent with Sec /, hrticle3, of the Con
stitution of Pennsylvania, which prohibits
the enactment of ANY special law granting to
individuals special or exclusive privileges or
immunity"
1t is understood that the comrades will not
attempt to appeal the case.

THE Australian Federation IS at last an
accomplished fact, and the 100000 people
there have been united under one Government,
which they fondly hope will become one OF ihe
great powers of the earth. The federation
has been closely modelled upon that of the
United States, instead Of that of Canada,
which party favored. The main difference
is that the Constitution, like ours, has strictly
delegated powers, and the different Provinces
retain large amount of sovereignty inside
their own boundaries. The Canadian system
gives the Central Government much larger
power Of supervision and control over the Pro
yincial Governments.

IT is claimed that the present scheme of the
Republican managers is to retire Vice Presi-
dent Hobart on the ground Of ill-health, and
make the ticket next year Mckinley and Roose-
welt. Vice-President Hobart is highly re-
garded, but it has always been the Republican
policy when re nominating President to give
him another running-mate. This was done
with Lincoln in 1864; with Grant in 1873, and
with Harrison in 1892. Since the retirement
of Secretary Bliss New York has been I'm
represented in the Administration, and Roose-
velfs recent Western trip showed that he has
an enthusiastic following everywhere.

has been communicated to all subordinates,
that when removals are contemplated under
the Civil Service Order Of May 20, exempting a
number Of places it shall be first ascertained
whether the person affected is a veteran of thu
rebellion or the Spanish war If it shall be
found that he is such a veteran then the facts

THE horse must GO. The automobile is
coming rapidly, and will dispIace him fai
more rapidly and effectually than the bicycle
and the electric car have DONE Society is
going wild over the horselesS carriage, and
sober, quiet people are seeing its immense ad-
vantage over vehicles drawn by horses The
probability is that in cities where there are
smooth pavemcnts and easy grades and
electric stations handy, the clectromobile will
be the thing. In the country kerosene and
gasoline motors will prevail. We are ahead
OF the world in electromobiles, but England is
ahead of us in electric trucks, and France far
ahead of us in kerosene and gasoline vehicles.
The advantages of the electromobile are its
simplicity and the ease with which it can be
manipulated. Its disadvantages are its enor-
nous weight, its short run-20 miles-and the
necessity Of its being recharged when it has
made this mileage The kerosene and gaso-
line motors are much cheaper, much lighter;
they can run all dayon a few cents worth of oil
which can be found at any country store; they
can run over rough roads and steep grades,
but they require some knowledge OF machinery.
They must be got ready for starting, but the
work is not so great as that Of hitching up a
team and they must bewatched and regulated,
while all that is necessary with an electro
mobile is to get in and turn a switch. But a
farmer who can manage a twine binder or a
wheat drill, can quickly learn all the intri-
cacies Of kerosene motor, and the first cost OF
one will soon not be more than he used to have
invested in spring wagon and span of good
horses, and when it is standing in the stable

A London coachman, who for
years had charge of a large and
beautiful stable of superb carriage
horses, told the writer that car
riage dog owned by his master in
variably ran beneath the pole chains
the moment the carriage started and
would make the circuit of the park
several times without moving more
than a few inches from his place,
the three animals-two horses and
the dog moving like machine.
Curiously enough, the dog chose his
particular horse to live and sleep
with in the stable; when travelling
and in inn stables, it mounted guard
over this horses box and would al
dow no strange hostler or groom to
approach it.
Greyhounds also learn to run with
traps. 1t was the custom for sport
ing farmers in East Anglia to drive
to market with pair of these dogs,
either running with their heads just
beneath the tailboard or one on
either side of the cart. Their pace
was trot, step for step with the
horse. The use of carts and car
riages for locomotion is much more
readily learned by dogs than the art
of keeping safe among traffic. Sport
ing dogs soon learn to like being
driven to the shooting ground. When
accustomed to this, they will jump
up the moment the tailboard is low
cred and curl up under the seat and
show great discomfort if not offered
a place But nearly all are singu-
larly dull at devising any means for
safe descent when the drive is over.
They usually make violent spring
10 the ground, often when the cart
has scarcely stopped, and fractured
fore legs are a freqrent result. =
