wHEN EGBERT DIED.

A New York Sun correspondent
writing from Manila, March 26,
gives this account of Col. Egbert's
death:
Among our dead is Colonel Egg
bert of the Twenty second Iufan-
try. He was at the head of his
men, leading the bay onet charge,
when he was hit by a rebel bullet.
1t was at once seen that he was
fatally wounded. Az he was plac-
ed on litter General Wheaton
rode up and there was an affecting
scene between two old soldiers
and friends.
General Wheaton dismounted
and, bending over the litter, in the
midst Of fying bullets, said, mob
ly done, Egbert +"
The wounded officer smiled
family as he heard the praise of
his commander and replied:
"Good by, General; l am done for.
I'm too DID,"
Tears stood in General Wheat
on's eyes as he babe farewell to
his companion. A few minutes
later Colonel Egbert died.

Washington, but no provision WAS
made for him to participate in the
ceremonies attending the welcome to
Dewey, and he was not invited to the
State dinner given at the White
House in honor of Dewey. Three
other ex-members of Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet-Gary, Bliss and Alger-par-
licipated in the ceremonies and at
tended the dinner. This shabby treat
ment OF Mr.. Sherman has been unfa-
vorably commented upon, even by
warm supporters of Mr.. Mckinley. 1t
looks like trying to kick a man when
he is down.
That the people seldom err in their
judgment OF men and things has been
once more demonstrated in Washing
ton, during Dewey week. Second only
to the ovations given Dewey himself
have been those given to Rear Admit
raj Schley every time he has shown
himself where there was crowd.
The Navy Department clique may do
what they please they cannot change
the verdict of the people, that the
principal honors OF the war with Spain
belong to Dewey and Schley.
The question of arbitration always
strikes those whose interests would be
passed upon differently from what it
does rank outsider. In other words,
most men will always agree that the
other folks ought to arbitrate their
disputes. Even ministers of the Cos
pei share that bit of human nature.
That is why there was quite hubbub
and chorus of noes from the English
ministers present when Rev. G. Cort,
of Maryland, offered a resolution ut
one of the sessions OF the Pan-Presby-
terrain Alliance, now sitting in Wash
ington, declaring against war between
England and the Transvaal Republic
and that the dispute should be arbi-
trated. Every minister who spoke
against the resolution declared him
self in favor of arbitration on general
principles, but he had some special
reason for opposing it in this case.
Among the delegates are ministers
from both the countries named, and
to man they believe war to be I'M
avodable. Dem.

Annoying Contentious.

EN.GoV. Mci;raw and City Com
trOllc, Parry OF Seattle, lately made II
pilgrimage to Washington, as II spc-
clal committee to present the claims
OF " Puget Sound" lur recognition by
the government in a business way. 1t
docs not seem that they met with the
hest OF success. The latter gentleman,
in his report to the home Chamber Of
Commerce, says that the head of every
department at Washington expressed
himself rs annoyed and most heart
lily sick and tired OF the chickering's he
tween Seattle and Tacoma" He said
that the committee found ample evil
dence OF the attempts of Tacoma to
hog everything or enact the role of
the dog in the manager to deprive Seat
tie of any benefit from the govern
mcnt, and related as proof that one
night they were told that two trans
ports were to repair and load ut Seat
tie for the Philippines. The next day
Tacoma protested and the ships were
ordered to Portland. When it was
made known in Washington that n
Seattle firm would go to Portland and
bid upon the fitting up Of the trans
ports there, an official of the quarter
masters department even went 50 far
as to request the committee to tclc-
graph the company not to 90 to Port
land and bid, and when it refused
telegraphed himself to Mr.. Moran, in
timating that it would be to the con-
tractors advantage not to bid on the
Portland work. But he did bid, and
notwithstanding his bid was $4,000
lower than any other in money and he
offered ten days quicker time, it was
refused. 1t meant n difference OF Just
$23, 900 to the government, as they pay
81 800 day for the transports and
the ten days saved would have been
$4,000 saved besides the $4,000 in
money. But the Seattle firms bid was
rejected.
1t seems from all this that Tacoma
has quite a long and effective pole both
for knocking persimmons and pound
ing the head of a rival.

SENATOR Foster, through his private
secretary, has presented the steamship
City OF Topeka with a dozen or more
copies OF Gospel Hymns. Just what
the game OF the Senator is, it is diff
cult to determine. If he intended the
present as political boost, he should
have substituted copies of Bill De-
vere's "Wit, Humor and Pathos,' u
which would be much more in accord
with the temper of the boys having
the "push." If it is intended as a
means OF laying up treasures above, he
should have added a cabinet organ to
make the hymns more effective.

A Presidential Handicap.

1t is said that the feeling between
Hanna the boss, and Mckinley, the
pie-tender, is not as cordial as it was
when the compact for an alliance of.
fensive and defensive was formed.
Mckinley regards Marks assertion
that "the British government is good
as ours" was indiscreet and impolitic
to say the least, especially on the eve
OF political contest when he is ex-
pected to act as fugleman for the adj
ministration.
The Chief Executive likewises oh.
jects to the form in which Mark ex-
presses an idea that, although it may
be uppermost in both the Presidential
and the Senatorial head, is far better
unexpressed, and that is, as blurted
out by Hanna, This talk of Dewey
for the Presidency is indecent" 1t
may be exceedingly exasperating that
anybody but Man Friday" should be
suggested for the Presidential success.

indiscreet to apply such term as ain.

that may arise in which the worlds
great commander is interested.
Hanna is SO used to the ring.mas
tcr's methods, that it is hard to keer
him from cracking his whip at the
most inopportune times. He never
would, nor never could, be success
except by means which all honorable
people reject with disdain.

A" dewey POEM"
Origi

Original.
/ thought I'd write poem just
To welcome Dewey home,
Filled up with metaphors and stuff
AS honey fills the comb.
But when read the papers through
And saw what others wrote,
And how they'd used the rhymes all up
To keep his boat" a float:
And how they'd got the rockets up
Much " high" er in the "sky':
That l could ever hope TO do
thought wouldn't try.
But the divine afiatus kept
tanning OF her wings,
And Pegasus kept champing aud
pulling on the strings,
Until in my weakness, and
Ny nonresident way,
Was whirling through the clouds Of war
And mixing with the fray,
And listening to the voice of war,
Whose awful, angry breath
Pulled back the veil and rudely joked
With Dauder and with Death.
Twas there, midst noise and battle wreath
Was born to praise and Fame,
A child Of duty and OF skill,
new and noble name.
And this is all that Dewey did,
To get his name that day,
lie had the will and skill to 20
Where duty led the way.
And every man who went with him
Had will and skill as well.
Ana though their names be never heard
Let Honor be the desthless word
Their simple deeds to tell.

nature of the scheme whereby the

prerogative Of every citizen, was de-

Has it not become servile tool to the

Church OF Seattle, on "The Pastors
Habits OF Study" which, we think,
cmbodic" the germ Of that spirit OF
bigotry which is found occasionally
cropping out in the ministerial char
acter Instead OF advocating the
widest possible acquaintance with
passing history and current literature,
he deprecated too much newspaper
reading, "twcnty minutes "A day to

He also thought it unwise to try to

even of its small subdivision, philoso.
ply, because of the impossibility of
comprehending the whole fairly we'll
without great study. He advised,
however, constant contemplation of
the Bible in order "tO become fully
imbued with its spirit and teachings"
Observation leads us to remark, in
this connection, that the best preach
ers, those who like the good tree, may
be judged from the fruit, are not those
so bound up in the contemplation of
so-called things divine that they have
no time to spend in betterment of
matters terrestrial. The best teachers
Of moral duty are those who by famil-
iarity with the causes of transgression,
are best able to apply the logic to acts
which convinces and conv;cts and
leads to reformation. If the preacher
has only his own soul to save, personal
sanctificatlon would be excusable, but
to reach others, he must not encase
himself in impenetrable armor that
repels assault and is impenetrable
when assailed. Far better advice, we
think, would have been, to read of
everyday affairs, and study the cause
of immortality and the best means of
applying the remedy embraced in the
creed of Christ; to study current liter
allure, that some knowledge might be
obtained of the trend of virtue, as
we'll as of vice, in the essays of minds
which mould popular opinion and
shape the destinies of nations. By
this means, dear teacher of moral
ethics, you will, if you have a mind
capable of grasping the mission
of your sacred calling, become a capa-
BILE instrument in the hands of Provi-
dence for sowing those seeds of right
eousness which will yield the glorious
harvest of peace and good will pro-
claimed by the angels when the
Christ-life began.

penders for the neither garment of
man entirely unnecessary. a yoke
extends, both back and in front, and
to it are affixed three tabs, which are
easily attached or detached by loops
to the trousers. 1t is claimed that
the new shirt conduces to comfort, in
asmuch as the weight is equally dis.
tributed over the body. For those
engaged in athletic exercises or out
door pursuits it is boon that has met
with immediate appreciation. 1t has
likewise found favor with those who
appreciate style, for it is found that
the new garment does not bulge out of
the waistcoat, and the shirt-front is
always kept in proper position.

Fallibility Of Newspaper " Criticism u

Our people have had an opportunity
of seeing, side by side, two dramatic
performances that have passed under
the judgment of would-be influential
newspapers-the Anaconda (Mont,)
Standard and the Seattle (Wash.) Pr.
"Vanity Fair" met with unqualified
disparagement of both these great pa
pers, while nothing was too good to be
said by them Of "a Breezy Time"
The verdict of that ample and unas-
sailable jury-an Olympia audience-is
now, however, matter OF record; and
it is that "Vanity Fair" was, by far,
the most artistic performance of the
two. 1t was, at least, devoid of much
of that " horse play" which the latter
depends upon for its claim to popular
favor. The costuming of "Vanity
Fair" was better, the acting more dig
nified, graceful and natural, and the
personnel OF the actors, taken as a
whole, in the specialties, (the main
part OF either show OF much higher
grade. Breezy Time" was grotesque
and absurd, if that is a merit, and the
three-legged sailor and the gigantic
rooster were decidedly of the punch
and Judy" order, and better adapted
to a matinee performance for children
than an evening entertainment for
grown people. There is no doubt of
the relative opinion of our people Of
these performances. Any true judge
of human nature need but stand in
the lobby of the theater during the
exit of the audience, to decide what
the consensus of opinion is regarding
what they have just heard or seen,
even were not word spoken; but in
this instance We have many verbal ex-
pressions to sustain the opinion main
tanned in this paragraph.
