Closed with Ringing Sentences.

When Mr.. Tillman, of South Carolina
asked if this trepidation was not due I,
the fact that the United States was or.
gagged in the same business in the Philip
pines, Senator Hale replied:
IF the result of our complications
in the Philippines is that we dare not
speak for liberty and Il struggling peo-
pie anywhere, that is the greatest
demonstration Of what a calamitous
thing the Philippine war is. | do not.
however think the time has come
when We are obliged TO speak with
bated breath in favor of liberty any
where"
The ringing sentences of Mr.. Hale,
speech had been delivered with a pas
siCnate eloquence that aroused the Sen
ate. His closing words were uttered witt
great fOTcefuiness, as follows:
Il Go not count this as movement,
as a sentiment, against the English
race, the English people, nor even
England. / do not believe the English
people are in favor of this war or thai
they have been l believe that the
great Queen, on her Bonded knees. has
prayed that this war might be ayerted

minister, engaged with a gold specula-
ton, that has forced these people into
this war | am glad. in the humilia
ton that fallen upon Great Britain
IL Is not we who have given IL to her.
At the conclusion of Senator Hale,

adopted.

Prince Tuan i'm Favor.

London, Oct. 16.-Hong Kong dispatch
es tell of the continued spread of the
southern rebellion. The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Express
sends a report that the British torpedo
boat destroyer Handy shelled two thou
sand rebels who were advancing on San
Chun, killing forty and wounding hun
dreds. This is not corroborated fro m
any other point.
The evidence of Prince Tuan's con.
tinuance in power causes anxiety. Ac-
cording to the Shanghai correspondent
OF the Morning Post. it has produced a
serious depression in trade here. Two
Chinese banks have failed there, two
others are expected to close, and it is re-
ported the Russo Chinese bank is in diff
fculties. owing to the removal of the
Chinese court to the province of Shensi,
Shanghai reports that local madarins
have received a dispatch from Prince
Tuan announcing that the court is now
in safe keeping and exhorting them tc
have patience until winter decimates the
rifles, to keep the peasants IN constant
work and everything is in readiness fol
a massacre of all foreigners when thu
proper time arises"

A few o~ver-sensitive people and news,
papers OF the state have taken umbrage
at the following utterance by Governor
Longino in the course OF his speech be-
fore the Industrial Convention at New
Orleans:
IF the South desires to enter into a new
ezra Of life and development let It stand as II
has never done before for the enforcement OF
the law the supremacy OF virtuous, %intelli-
sgentmanhood, and the suppression Of hood
fiumism."
1t seems to US that the above is a
manly utterance as well as one which
uhe people should heed, and one the
observance OF which would lead US to
better things. 1t does not mean tina,
IN the past we have not stood for these
things, but 1t means that In the future
we should be more active 10 the en-.
dorcement of law and that we should
quickly advance to positions OF homo,
and trust, vii tu)us, law-abiding and
uaw-cnforcing men.

1.-THE food of time is rolling on.
We stand upon its brink, whilst they are gone
To glide in peace down deaths mysterious
stream.
Have we done we'll ?"
Another year is drawing to its close,
and ere another week has passed will
record upon the history of the wonder
full past its page. 1t has been a year OF
tremendous Importance, but, withal.
one which has had much OF blood and
war, and as it ends, its story OF tn.
strife OF nations will he continued into
the mex year and into the next centu-
~. The Prince OF Peace, who came TO
redeem men from sin, cannot look down
from his high place today and say al
is we'll with my beloved" But there IL
a brighter side, and when we analyze
the hearts and minds Of the great mass
OF the people we find there broad char
ity and tolerance, a demand for purity
aud virtue and a preponderance OF high
aspirations. The devil is at his work
with an intensity Of purpose that cau-
not be overcome, but that he is losing
his baneful power is as certain as that
God reigus and that 10 His owp good
time He will put to route the hosts OF
evil.
Let US each one do our part to make
the world better, and in the year before
us let our individual record be such
that God and man may scrutinize /,
and find no guilt or daw. The individ
uals make the mass, and there is a re-
sponsibility resting on US every one,
and for that responsibility there mus,

ture when we shall be called before the

Fowl ~Saturnalia.

In a Michigan town the other day
this incident occurred at a cider mill:
In shipping the cider some casks
were used that bad been filed with
cherry brandy. We emptied the cher
ries, probably a gallon TO each cask,
where the pigs could get them. 1t
was amusing 10 see the drunken pigs
after they had partaken OF the brandy
soaked cherries. They staggered and
squealed and acted as foolish as so
many drunken men. The flock Of
geese pitched 10 and stuffed them
selves, too. The old gander stood
staggering withIhis legs wide apart,
and squawked and 'honked' in an un-
natural manner. In half al hour both
pigs and geese were laid out on the
grass, stavin' drunk. Two wood
peckers joined in and we're 500 laid
out, with their feet 10 the air.
