changed. 1t is still righteous for them,
but disgraceful to u.s.
The mere politician trembles before
the phantom of public opinion-opinion
too often created by his own cowardice.
The statesman appeals to that sole tri-
bunal of an honest man-his own con-
science. The present war is the work
of the politician. The easy public as
sents. The demagogue follows the
lines of least resistance. The timid
float with the current The truculent
bully launts his vulgar insolence. The
thoughtful are inundated to silence
No news except from the army, and that
is censored to suit the corrupt taste.
In this downward progress of the
nation, how cheerful and reassuring are
the words of Admiral Dewey, just ut
tered at Naples, in Italy. They are the
same words which he sent to the Presi-
dent in August, 1S9S-words which, if
then Needed would have saved millions
of treasure to the people and saved from
stain the national character. These
words rise to the dignity of statesman
ship, and place their author on lofty
pedestal by the side of Washington.
The are as follows:
THE Fiipinos are capable Of govern
ing themselves: they have all qualifica-
tons for it. 1t is a question of time,
but the only way to settle the insurrec-
ton and assure prosperity to the archi
pelago is to concede self-government
to the inhabitants That would be
solution of many questions and would
satisfy all, especially the Filipinos, who
believe themselves worthy of it, and
ara So
II have never been in favor of vio-
lence toward the Filipinos. The islands
are at this moment blockaded by a
fleet and war reigns in the interior
This abnormal state Of things should
cease. / should like TO see autonomy
first conceded, and then annexation
might be talked about. This is my
opinion. Il should like to see violence
at once put stop to- According to my
view, the concession of self-govern-
ment ought to be the most just and
most logical conclusion. John B. Hen
derson of Missouri in the New York
Evening Post.

deadly gases unhindered, and dirt
reigns supreme. The doctor complained
that there is no division between the
wards of men and women and no priva-
cy for either, insufficient medicines for
the sick and no food suited to conva-
lescents. In one corner of the patio, eX-
posed to view, the wan house Of a
freed soul lay untenanted; and in an
other corner, covered from head to foot
with a sheet, as if already dead, lay
moaning horror--a woman dying of
her, the doctor declaring that she was
too far gone to be sensible of her suf-
ferings, and the scanty stock Of med
icine must be saved for those whom it
might benefit.

LUCK IN ARKAN-
Sass

A Memphis man is telling of an Incl
dent which occurred To him last Sunday
while he was fishing in lake in Arkan-
sae. II was having good sport" he
says, 'and had caught a fine string of
fish, which were in the bottom of my
boat. The temperature dropped thirty
degrees in half an hour, and the rain
also dropped hard and fast-iust how
hard may be imagined from the fact
that the boat began to fill, not only
from the rain that fell, but also from
the lake water which splashed into it
by the rain dropping on the surface of
the water. The boat filled to the gun
wales, and right before my eyes that
string of fish swan off in a perfectly
straight column, leaving me too aston
ished to make any move toward their

The Thomson-Houston Electric Light
company announces that it will be unable
to furnish the power necessary for the H.
Illumination of the city hall and county court
house during the Ak-SarBen festivities,
The reason assigned Is that they are now
running to their full capacity, and with the
principal city streets to illuminate they
have found 1t impossible to fill the city
and county orders. In previous years the
corner Of Eighteenth and Farnam has al
ways been brilliantly Illuminated and seats
for the people nave been put up both by the
county and city. It. was customary to halt
the pageant in front of the city hall, and it
was there that the mayor has always pre-
scented to the mighty ruler the keys of the
city and rendered the allegiance of all
good citizens. Now that it has been de-
cided not to put up the seats, the people
will have to look elsewhere for places from
which to view the parade. Just where the
usual ceremonials will take place has not
yet been decided. City Electrician Schurig
Is now endeavoring to secure lighting power
from the exposition plant.

Slow Trains.

Slow railroad trains are probably not
peculiar to any locality. The story OF
the conductor who waited for the hen
to complete the dozen Of eggs for the
market is a part Of the folklore Of
widely diverse regions.
There used to III ove a Vermont
road-and also, 1t may be remarked,
over a Wisconsin road-what was
known as the "~huckleberry train" the
jest being that it was so slow that
passengers could jump off at the front
end Of the train and pick h~uckleberries
for awhile and then get on at the rear
end as 1t came up.
The engineer of the Vermont train
Of this title Is imaginatively declared
to have shot two cartridges M day
from his cab, which the fireman Ere
trieved" without any additional "slow-
ing up."

An Inviting Gun.

The Hon. William Workman, long
state treasurer Of Texas. was in a New
York jewelry store n day when he
noticed a showcase filled with splen.
did jeweled revolvers with silver and
gold grips and chased barrels, having
precious stones set into the butts.
"Lemme see one Of those guns" he
said to the clerk.
(which one. sir?"
1.-THE gold one with the big ruby In
the handle"
The clerk took 1t from the case 1t
was marked $33. and 1t looked worth
even more. The Texan took it tender
ly in both hands and held 1t admiring.
ly up to the light Then drawing him.
self up to his full height, which was
61a feet, he rested the revolver barrel
upon his left elbow, crooked for the
purpose. and looked over the sights
down the long store. Those persons
who saw him involuntarily lodged.
"Say," said Mr.. Workman. with
quiet but intense enthusiasm, as he re-
turned the weapon. IF | was to wear
that gun down In my state the people
would be falling down on their knees
begging to be killed with It,"

Too Nluch Realiam.

to gain composure as she hears the
approaching carriages Of the guests.
"Hark!' she says. II hear the
wheels of their carriages"
We obtained the effects Of approach
ing wheels. but, try as we would. the
