IT was just 2 o'clock. Maj. Rogers,
commandant of the Jail, had gone to his
dinner, and the afternoons work in the
big yard had begun to drift along in its
drowsy way. The brigade Of longtime
prisoners-450 Of them there were-fled
in under their native guards, passed the
heap of bolos and tools, took what they
needed. and scattered to their usual tasks.
Suddenly dried-up little Filipino, u

The sentinel on the wall opened fire
and three priyates in the gate presented

greeted with blow on the head from
behind. Staggering for moment. he re-
covered himself and ordered the soldiers
TO fire. Three men fell.
The rush was checked for an instant.
But the leader, though wounded, was still

But there was another scene enactinc
elsewhere. At the first show OF bayonets
part of the mutine.rs fed beyond the
little gate which leads to the quarters of
the short-tcrnt men aud white prisoners
calculating on breaking away through an
other outlet. But on this side the natives
were not in the plot, and at the first alarm
crowded around the alcalde, begging TO be
locked up out OF iiHrm's way. This was
the best for both sides ard their wish was
complied with. This left the guards free
to deal with the srrsing mass that camc
crowding in. Help came from an unex-
pected quarter, for the white prisoners
turned in TO help their jailors. In few
minutes the fight was at an end.
Then the work of clearing M the

AWFUL INCONSISTENCY.

Some people seem utterly unable to endure
convert TO their views They are only happy
when they are against somebody or something
The fact that public officer comes around in
some emergency 10 do something which they
have advocated is an irresistible temptation to
them TO snarl at him and call him demagogue
and trimmer and an ignoramus and various
other unpleasant names because he did not
have the same opinion about the matter ten
years ago The habit of charging statesmen
with inconsistency and regarding an opponent
as rascal is too common TO excite remark but
the mass of mankind most commonly apply the
word inconsistent to those who pass from agree
ment with them into difference One who
comes to adopt their principles or practices is
considered a man of wisdom whose mind is
open to new ideas, and it is neither considered
good breeding nor good politics by gibes to
make him wish that he had remained in his
former darkness or furnish new ammunition
TO the opponents of the gibers policy. Most
men look on new and even a temporary ally
as at least for the time being a friend.
But there are a few so inherently Ill natured
that they find the cherishing of ancient enmity
more delightful than the acceptance of present
friendship, and President Mckinley has lust
given them a chance TO indulge their disposi-
ton by allowing the relief Of the money mar
ket by the deposit of Internal revenue receipts
in banks. 1t was TO be expected that this step
would provoke a storm of opposition from Bry-
antics. 1t was conceivable that Republicans
who did not take the Administrations view of
the emergency might question the wisdom of
his policy. But what is to be thought of the
natural peryersty of some animate things
when those who believe and long have believed
in the Governments taking hand to help the
banks whenever the bankers wanted IL begin
abusing the President for doing the very thing
they wished him to do and unreservedly an
prove of his doing! Yer we find people in one
breath rejoicing over the deposits and in the
next trying TO make it as difficult as possible
for the President TO justify his course. They
ransack history to point out that In President
Clevelands first term Mr. Mckinley spoke In
Congress against Secretary Fairchild's deposits
with pet banks" aud urged that the surplus
should be used to buy bonds. And now, because
in 1900 President Mckinley deposits money In
banks as President Cleveland did, they argue
that he must have been demagogue who in
1888 said what he did not believe lust to In
jure an opponent and curry favor by trucking
10 ignorant prejudice.
But, really, isn't II unreasonable to forbid
man to change his mind in the course of twelve
years under penalty Of being called dishonesty
Men change their views on questions of bust
ness. politics and religion every day. 1t is pro-

verbal that a man out of power sees things
differently from the man in power Thomas
Jefferson was perhaps che most extreme illus
traton of that truth tbs country ever saw. In
opposition the strictest of constructionsts, in
office he stretched Federal authority far beyond
any limits ever dreamed of by his predecessors.
Mr.. Clevelands admirers did not think 1t dis
honest of him to, oppose Tammany at all times
except on the eve of q Presidential election.
President McKnley's acts in 1900 may be en-
trely inconsistent with his opinions of 1888.
But that does not mean that both act and Opin-
ion are not honest. In the first place, the circum-
stances are different Then we had great sur
plus which could be freely used TO purchase
bonds, while now the President might with
good reason think the money should be at the
traordinary expenditures, and at the same time
be unwilling to keep larger sums out of cir
culation than immediate payments required.
And even If the circumstances were the same,
1t Is the mark of safe and wise man that he
learns something by experience, that he solves
problems of craftsmanship better as President
than Congressman, that he does not feel
bound in administering the affairs Of the Amer
lean people TO think primarily of his own con-
sistency and only afterward of their interest.
If Mr.. McKinleys critics want to prove that
he does not stick TO old position when great
er knowledge makes him now think it inadvfsa-
bic, he can afford to let them.

THE DRUMMER.

Edward Sydney Tylee. in The Spectator.
A blood red battle sunset stains

What spirit stirs within our veins
And lifts our hearts so high?
Gives youth no peace gives age no sleep,

Its rolling rhythmic rude aaFdm to the listening
For yester noon the folk that rid
Their thresholds from the snow

Whose cunning I'm, lit its hearers chained
That straight they sprang from shop and stall, and
followed ere they knew.
For here the blear eyed smith forsoOk
And from his leathern apron shook
He left his clnking anvil dumb
On noiser business bound,
Shrll treble TO the booming drum
His mighty blows resound:
The clashlng. changing music OF his mighty blows
And there unwonted ardor lit
The traders wrnkled face,
The crowded market place;
Forgotten, as he heard.
A5hwart the rending veil Of sense.
The tambours master word:
In sudden stern staccato, the drums imperious
word.
Ere the slow priest his blessing said
The bridegroom left the bride.
The mourner left the cherished dead
His love had watched beside.
Pressed close and fast through lane and streat
The ever thickening throng;
All stepping 10 the measured beat
That marshalled them along;
Rataplan!

Red sunset shot with sanguine stains:
sword the sky
What sacred fever swells veins
And lifts our hearts so high?
Gives youth no peace gives age no rest
That hears the throbbing roll
That knocks hard against the breast
And shakes the hidden soul:

That strikes the heart within the breast ana
