sofa.

1T. Rev. Henry B. Wbipple. bishop of
the diocese Of Minnesota, who returned
Yesterday from Puerto Rico, was tho
guest OF honor at the Eastertide banquet
OF the Church club, held last evening in
the ordinary of the Ryan. The occasion
was doubly notable because OF the at
tendance Of large number of ladies'. who
were invited guests. Following a discus
sion of the menu, Messrs. Barrett and
WoiH put the company in good humor
with number of musical novelties.
Judge r. r. Nelson, in his capacity as
POSTMASTER, felicitated upon the advent
OF Easter and all it meant to Christians.
and introduced as guest of honor Bishop
Whlpple. In opening he spoke of the cir

and poverty, but gave an interesting ac-
count OF the progress that had been mads
by Christian people. He told of the re-
markable fertility of the soil, and the va

Whipple said:

man. Timber cruising is his business, and
his associations have been of lumber
ing" character since his early youth and
are now. He therefore knows that 1t has
been the practice of many INSCRIPTIONS
lumber firms to employ men to make en-
tries on public lands, under the home
stead and other laws. when such lands
contained valuable timber, and after
these employees have made pretense of
settlement on the lands the timber has
been removed and the homestead aban-
doned.
Mr.. Eddy claims that there is a provi-
sion In his free homes bill which would
prevent this. but there is only one thing
which is effective In preventing a pine
thief from stealing a pine tree, and that
is Vickers-M Maxim automatic gun False
estimates. false scaling, perjury, tres
pass and downright larceny are possible
under any legislative enactment relating
to pine timber land unless there is honest
and effective administration, and the rec
OtU " lAhc pine lHuuSlFy III N1luHeS5OIds
which no one knows better than Mime
sofa, is such as to lead many people to
believe that Mr.. Eddy's free homes
bill is really a bill to enable lumbermen
to secure the timber on public lands at
practically no cost to themselves beyond
the location of the land.
There has been no demand from the
people of Minnesota for free homes. ;"
The liberal provisions of the homestead
law have heretofore been regarded as en-
tirely satisfactory by honest settlers, and
1t would be interesting to learn why Mr..
Eddy is so enthusiastic over his free
homes" bill

panies havesbeen trying to sell insurance

The foregoing statements are not the
opinions of any 0envious "old liner" but
are from the Insurance Commissioner of
minnesota. They grew out of the fact
That hitherto fairly prosperous assess
ment concern In this state had found it
essential to reorganize on basis approx
imating to the we'll established laws Of
regular insurance. This necessitated ask
ing large payments on the policies, and
protests came at once from the poorly
posted older members. But the Commits
sloner tells them that "the cost of life
insurance is known and based on the
standard tables of mortality" and that
there is no question but the company

oasis or discontinue business
All this, while quite true, is a little Sc
we're on the old members. Like the con-
Germ itself, they must either pay more
or discontinue business" Years ago
they could have had insurance in any
regular company at rates which, with
dividends applied, would now have been,
IN their advanced age, very much smaller,
instead Of increased. They have eaten
their pie first and must now come down
to brown bread.

END THE WAR.

The war in the Philippine Islands shows
no indicatlon of nearing it's end, but, on
the contrary, is increasing and extend
ing. Last week occurred the most Sc
we're fighting since the war commenced,
and bloody engagements took place in ev-
cry province of the island Of Luzon.
Last week also witnessed the resurrec-
ton Of the insurgent general Pho del Pr
lar, who was supposed to have been slain
several months ago. The next news will
probably be that Aguinaldo is in the field
again.
Is 1t not about time that the United
States government should adopt some ef-
fective and humane measures to end this
ware, Are the lives Of our soldiers to be
perpetually sacrificed to the incompe-
tence and timorous policy Of President
McKinley's government, and the misera-
bic people of the Philippines never re-
ieved of the horrors of war? Why is not
that wise, humane, liberal and Christian
policy Of which the Republican leaders
are so fond of Boosting practically ap-
piled to tho Philippines?
The American people, much as they
may condemn imperialism and the greedy
policy which has involved the United
States in so many expensive ana aggra-
waiting foreign complications, viii not
consent to a dishonorable withdrawal
from the Philippines or to anything which
might injure the true dignity and credit
of the nation. But they do earnestly
hope that the terrors and tortures of war
which the imperial ambitions Of certain
Republican leaders have forced upon this
country and upon the Philippines may De
shortened, in the interests Of justice and
humanity.
There can surely be found some peace
able way Of adjusting the misunderstand-
ings between Gen. Otis and the Tagal
leaders; but If there is no such way, then
1t would be merciful to prosecute the war
as though it were the intention to end 1t
within the next ten or twenty years.
Long continued repetitions of small
slaughterings, skirmishes and ambus-
cades, all ineffective and valueless In
shortening the war, have no excuse. They
are not even consistent with or helpful to
a policy Of imperialism, and are as undig-
nifed and disastrous as was the Modoc
war.

Several years after the close of the Civil
war reception was held in, Lynchburg,
Va, to commemorate some national event
(says v. Halsey in Lippincott's Maya
zine). Many men were there assembled
who had fought in the war. Among them
was major Of a Massachusetts regiment,
who, meeting Gen. JubaI Early, of the
Confederate army, cordially greeted him.
Pointing to his own decorations, the
major said: "Ah, general, you see we
have all the crosses now"
Yes" replied the old general; Sin oIden
times they hung thieves on crosses; now
they hang crosses on thieves"

it becomes law, will put men on the
