Democracy HaIts at No Deception.
Capt. William H Elliott, the repre-
sentative of the department of the IN
terror, has this to say about the re-
heated reports of trouble" in Porto
Rico:
LET it be borne in mind that ma
terial for the wild and weird stories
published by the Democratic press OF
the United States is furnished by
Spaniards for the purpose OF bringing
the citizens of Porto Rico into disre-
pute, and with the hope, false and
fallacious though it may prove, OF
weakening the efforts being put forth
under the law of congress to organize
an equitable civil government that VIII
accord to every man, rich or poor,
black or white, liberty and justice,
and in lieu thereof, turn the island
over as spoils to the rapaciously rich
and brutally harsh Spanish taskmak-
ers, as in the past.

ence OF Dewey's feet, could neither se-
cure ammunition. supplies nor relief, and
as consequence were easily captured
by the insurgents. Aguinaldo boasted OF
his battles with and capture Of these diff
ferent Spanish detachments that were
forced to surrender because their ammu-
milton gave out. Owing to Deweys VIC
tory the Spaniards were helpless, and
Aguinaldo easily overrun and took pos
session OF the provinces adjacent to Ma
Mia. Dewey reports at this dme as fol-
lows:
"Th1a squadron can reduce the de-
fenses of Manila at any moment, but
it is considered useless until the ar
rival of sufficient United States
forces to retain pOssession."
With the front and TANKS of Manila.
dominated by Dewey's fleet and all hope
4 of relief from Spain cut off, Aguinaldo
proceeded to invest the city with the in
surgent forces on the land side. He fan
cied he could capture the city without
the aid of our troops, and was anxious
to capture and loot it before the arrival
of the United States forces, but found
himself unequal to the task. In the
meantime he assumed the role of military
dictator, and established by various de-
crees and proclamations a so-called gov
ernment of a purely military, dictatoriale
and personal character, in apparent hos
tility to Spain and evidently oblivious of
the rights and status of our government.
He was quite willing to have the co.
operation of our naval forces, but looked
with disfavor upon the landing of our
troops, fearing that they would debar
him from the sack and pillage Of Manila
On June 80, the first expedition under
Gen. Anderson arrived at Manila, and on
the 18th Of July the second expedition,
under Gen. Greene, landed. On the 9th
of July Gen. Anderson reports about
Aguinaldo:
when we first landed he seemed very
suspicious and not at all friendly.
But he has declared himself dictator and
president, and is trying to take Manila
without our assistance. This is not prob
able, but If he can effect his purpose he
will I apprehend, antagonize any attempt
on our part to establish provisional gov
ernment."
It appears that at the time of the ar
rival of the second expedition Aguinaldo
had forbidden the natives to furnish sup
plies or transportation facilities to our
forces except upon his order, and on this
account our forces found it very difficult
to procure animals and carts. The ma
tives. had gone so far as to remove the
wheels from their carts and hide them.
It was only after Gen. Anderson had in
Morris tribune., 1900-09-08

formed Aguinaldo that if he could not
purchase the supplies needed at fair
price ne would be compelled to take them
I by force, if necessary, that the latter re-
moved the embargo.
AS early as July IS Gen. Anderson re-
ports:
# suspect also that Aguinaldo is Sc
cretly negotiating with the Spanish au-
thoTities, as his confidential aide is in
Manila" !"
We now know. that this suspicion was
well founded, for in Aguinaldo's letter to
Gen. Rios, commander at Iloilo, to which
shall hereafter refer, he admits that as
early as June 9-twenty-one days after
his arrival at Manila,-he was negotiating
with Gen. Augustin, the Spanish COM
mander-in-chfef, for the purpose Of COM
bining with him against our forces.
He was even then ready TO enter
into an alliance with his OId-tilne
enemy against the United States, the
de1iverers of his people.
In his letter to Gen. Anderson of July "a
Aguinaldo writes:
Il consider it my duty to advise you
Of the undesirability of disembarkfng
North American troops in the places con-
quered by the Filipino from the Spanish
without previous notice to this govern
ment (meaning himself) I take
the liberty of indicating to your excel
lency the necessity that, before disem-
barking, you should communicate in
writing to this government (peaning him
self the places that are to be occupied
and also the object of the occupation.
What an attitude was this to assume
toward our forces whose presence in
Manila bay had made it possible for Agui-
naldo to return and gain a footing in
the country, which for money cnsider-
alton he had formerly abandoned.
On the 25th day Of July Gen Merritt
arrived to assume the chief command.
On the Both day of July the third expe-
dition, under Gen Macarthur. reached
Manila bay. and immediate steps were
taken to capture the city by our forces.
At this time the insurgents. estimated at
1900. were occupying line Of intrench-
ments around the city on the land side.

your weapons and odium: Understand
well, against the Spaniards and never
against the Americans. Rather die than
be ungrateful to our American liberators
-. !. There where you see the Amer
lean flag flying, assemble in numbers;
they are our redeemers." G
Dewey believed, as he had a right to be
heve and as they represented to him, that
they desired to return for the sole pur-.
pose of aiding in expelling the Spaniards,
and not to assume a hostile attitude to
our country. And so believing, he gem
erously gave his permission, and fur
nished transportation, for their return
and supplied them with arms and equip
ments and otherwise aided them in or
ganizing the insurgent forces
On the 10th of May Aguinaldo and sew
enteen of his chiefs returned from Hong
kong to Manila in the McCulloch.
There was then no semblance of a Fill
pino government or Filipino army. Dewey
had destroyed the Spanish fleet, captured
the town and arsenal of Cavite, controlled
the entire harbor Of Manila and had the
city, though occupied by Spanish troops,
at his mercy.
But for these facts AguinaIdo and
his followers could not have re-
turned.
At first, the insurgents, remembering
the former mercenary abandonment Of
their cause, were reluctant to rally
around Aguinaldo, and he became dis
couraged, and contemplated returning to
China. But soon, owing to the presence
and encouragement of the United States
forces, matters took more favorable
turn, and the insurgents began to rally
around him. and he succeeded in raising
an army estimated at from 10000 to 15,-
900. Dewey supplied him with consider
able. arms and equipments from the ar
senal at Cavite, and he purchased some
1000 stands of arms before he left Hong
kong. With these arms thus obtained
md with Bolos, he equipped his forces
and at once assumed the role and set him
self up as military dictator. Most Of
the Spanish troops were stationed IN Ma
Mia. Small parties of their troops, scan
tiIy supplied with ammunition ana pro-
visions, were stationed at vaseous interior
points. These troops. owing to the pres

The Man Who Works.

."The man that is so far advanced
that he likes the work he is DOING"
said Mr. Stoggleton, ''has reason to
feel hopeful of himself. l suppose that
the very great majority Of us go
through the work we have in hand the
easiest way we can and get through it,
skipping the hard places when posi-
BILE, and thinking We'll be glad when
it's finished; but the next job will be
just the same; there will be just about
so many hard places in it, and then
Wen be wishing just the same that we
could get through that job.
1.-The fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shirk the present job.
We mean well, in feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle; but
when we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that, too? We do indeed. And
that's what we do all through life;
daily putting off our best endeavors till
tomorrow. Kind of miserable thing
to do, isn't it?
"But occasionally you meet man
who puts in his best ticks every day,
and rejoices in the labor; he doesn't
care continental what the next day
is going to bring to him, he can handle
it whatever it is; just now he's en-
gagged with to-day's labor; and he does
that mp thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny:
he isn't trying to see what he can pass
by, but what he can root out; and he.
goes home satisfied with his work, and
he's the one man in thousand that
leads all the rest and his pay CORE
spends with his labors. New York

A volume might be written on the
wonderful work done by Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth among the convicts
in the New York State prisons. Once
Mrs. Booth and her aids had won the
confidence of a prisoner who was fear
ed by all his companions. One day in
speaking Of his past he told them that
he was absolutely innocent Of the
charge for which he was suffering i'm
prisonment, and he thanked Mrs
Booth for some reading matter she
had brought him.
Il have got witnesses to prove nv
innocence, even If they are in prison
now" he asserted.
why don't you try to secure a new
trial?"
We'll, you see," he replied, after a
little pause, Il was acquitted of a
number of charges where I was guilty.

THE ORIGINAL SPEECH.
True Primeva1 Tongue of\Man Unlike
Any Language We Know.

True Primeva1 Tongue of\Man Unlike
Any Language We Know.
The original speech, the true prim-
eval tongue of man, was quite unlike
any language we have ever heard; yet
we have all talked it and all it's ele
ments are present in the tongues Of to-
day, says the Contemporary. The prim
eval language was a vowel language
altogether; it had no consonants, or
contacts, as we ought to call them, at
all. It's words consisted of vowel
sounds following each other, repeated
or varied-of words like aeaea, aoao,
ala, auau, aeoia, iaua, oioi, ouou, uaua,
ueue, all of which. 1 may say in pass
ing, are taken from a language in use
to-day. The sentences were intermit-
tent streams of vowels, each stream
held on so long as the speakers breath
allowed or within dictated. When all
literature was recited. the same con-
sideration, the capacity Of the lungs,
determined the length Of the bardic
line; so we have our shlokas, our hexa
meters, our Alexandrines and so forth,
each Iungful OF verse. In the prlm-
eval tongue it was likewise. but the
sentences were vowels only.
There are about ten or a dozen pure
vowels to go upon, and vowel words
may run UP to five syllables; so we
have a very considerable fund to draw
on for our vowel streams. And these
streams of vowel speech correspondent
to and expressed streams of emotion or
feeling rather than descriptions of con-
crete objects. For we hardly realize
how terribly overladen with material
trifles our life is to-day and therefore
what great demands we make on Ian
guage for concrete words. But our ex-
carnations, each of which indicates a
single emotion, tend to remain pure
vowel sounds even at the present day

News that Great Britain may have
to fall back upon a supply Of dum-dum
bullets for use in South Africa causes
a shock to our conventional sentiments
about what is called civilized war"
says the Chicago Journal. And yet II
both combatants used the dum-dum
bullet it might hasten the final,resuit
without being inconsistent with their
general intentions toward each other.
War is no longer waged naturally ana
honestly and on it's merits. We have
it refined and cOnventiOnalized In
ludicrous attempt to disguise its real
character and minimize its necessary
horrors. The immediate object OF the
soldier in battle is the swift death OF
the other fellow. The ultimate object
Of the government is to punish the en-
envy nation until it quits. Disguise 1t
as we will, it is organized manslaugh-
ter. If we were natural and honest
about it we should proceed toward that
end by doing all the damage to the
enemy we could in as many different
ways as we could. But ambassadors
and ENJOYS have got together like Sec
onds before duel and agreed that we
must be polite and make our mutual
hate look pleasant while it is having Its
picture taken. So we dress up Its
horrors in attractive garments and
agree to use weapons Of relatively
small efficiency and great hardness OF
execution. We may kill the enemy,
but we must kill him politely. We can
not shoot him with an exploding rifle
ball because that kills him too rudely
and shocks his nervous system too
much-as If, when nations went to war,
they were not like ravening beasts,
drunk with the lust of blood. We can
not adopt any means at our disposal.
We can kill a man with jagged, sharp
edged piece Of shell, but mustn't shoot
with old nails and broken glass. 1t Is
permissible to sweep down whole COM
panies at once with the fan fire of an
automatic gun, but we mustn't dispose
of our foes by introducing even the
gentlest sedatives into his water sup
ply. These things are ridiculously in
consistent with the purposes Of war.
1t is like saying it is laudable to shoot
a man through his lungs, but unfair to
shoot him through the liver. 1t sug
gests the story about the fellow that
proposed to his big antagonist in the
duel that the latter should mark on his
person the outline of man Of average
size, and any shot that struck him out
side the mark shouldn't count. Would
it not be more consistent IL a nation
used against an invading enemy, for
example, all the resources and ingenu-
ity at its command?

The First IRON PlnU

It would be difficult to say who made
the first iron plow; but in Scotland a
contemporary says the inventor was
a humble Scotch blacksmith named
William Allan. His modesty was so
great that after he had made his first
plow, and it did satisfactory work on
his own farm, he declined to make a
second for neighboring gentlemen on
the plea that he was not as good a
blacksmith as the gentlemen ought to
have, and recommended neighbor of
his, named Gray. The latter became
rich at the business, while Allan re-
NAMED as poor as ever Scottish
