MooDY's HANDLING OF A BULLY

"In his various Offices Mr. Moody did not al.
ways have plain sailing. As sergeantat-arms he
kept order as well as he could" writes William
II, Moody of his father, Dwight J.. Moody, in
the Saturday Evening Post "On one occasion
he had trouble. A Young bully, the ringleador
among the worst element in the town, made
persistent and malicious efforts to disturb the
meetiT gs. lie was a source OF great annoyance.
After being repeatedly warned he only assumed
n more belligerent attitude. II was against the
rules ever TO turn a scholar cut. Grace had
failed, and Mr.. Moody saw that recourse to other
means was inevitable. At last he whispered to
Mr. Farwell:
III that boy disturbs his class today and you
see me go for him TO take him to the lnteroom,
you ask the school TO rise and sing a very loud
hymn until / return
'1he meeting proceeded. The boy began his
Interruptions and Mr.. Moody made for him. Tic
seized him with a strong grasp, hurried him
into the anteroom and locked tte door. Then
he gave him a thrashing such as he himself had
known in his bCyhcod days in New England,
ard when he returned there was a flush on his
face, but il had in it an expression of victory.
This boy was soon aiterward converted, and
many wears later told friend that he was still
enjoying the benefits of that gospel exercise"

A Colonial Future.

(Charles Emory Smith, in Philadelphia Prcss)
~ ENTIMENT and precedent
- looked to the admission and
W assimilation of Puerto Rico,
like Louisiana, with COM
plete American citizenship, uniform
taxati,l, all the rights of a territory
and prospective statehood. This has
been the normal course in the past.
Precedent is on it's side. Generous i'm
pulses mode in this direction. The first
decision and determination was un-
doubtedly along this line. This view
was reflected in the hot agitation and
furious outcry all over the country
which followed the proposal of a diff
ferent course. A very large number of
Republican newspapers and many Re-
publicans have been carried away by
this impulse and this sentiment. They
will return. Discussion and dispas-
sionate examination have gradually
made It clear that common sense and
principle are wiser guides than agita-
ton and sentiment A population like
that of Puerto Rico, nine-tenths Hitter
ate, cursed with concubinage, on low
level of life, without schools, with
wages at the 20 cent rate, with no or
ganized institutions and of mixed
blood and race, is not ready for full
American citizenship. The island is
not ready to be started on the road to
statehood. The time has not come for
| the uniform taxation, the complete and
| unrestricted intercourse and the po-
litical and personal privileges which go
with a territory"
Tutelage is necessary. Congress must
retain it's full powers of control under
the constitutional power "to make all
needed rules and regulations" for new
| territory, but free from constitutional
| limitations as to it's action in states
| and Territories Congress has two
| powers, one unrestricted in new terri
| tional limitations in the states and
territories" over which the constitution
| is extended by law. Common sense
dictates under the conditions which ex-
list and will long remain in Puerto Rico
| that congress shall retain, untouched
the larger power. Sentiment may tak4
different view. but not a man but
hesitates after the experience of the
| last thirty-five years at adding to ig
norant citizens. Political power must
go with political capacity. Common
sense dictates such a bill as has beer
passed. 1t maintains the power OF
congress to levy taxes suited to spe-
cial conditions. 1t does not extend in
ternal revenue taxation. 1t levies q
low tariff for a brief season to raise
revenue needed by Puerto Rico. 4
| grants American protection but no
full American citizenship. 1t grants
all the local autonomy practicable, but
it leaves the upper chamber of the
legislature and the executive appoint
ed.
This establishes colonial policy. L
draws the line between territory and
population ready to come into the po
litical system OF the Union and terri
tory and population not ready for thi:
privilege. Puerto Rico is not alone
Behind it are the Philippines. BEHIND
that archipelago is colonial future.

Second, prohibiting the interstate

Fourth, providing the process of in

WHO TELLS THE TRUTHp

The talk among the leaders in congress is
that a clause will be put in one OF the appro.
praton bills giving the president authority to
pay both Admiral Dewey and General Otis 5000
as their compensation for serving upon the
Philippine commission in accordance with Pres
ident McKinley's Recommendation. So far as
can be discovered there is no opposition to this
In any quarter There is, however, a great deal
of regret that Admiral Dewey should have lost
his patience and his temper and jumped into the
political arena in somewhat childish effort to
get ''reyepge" upon the president
Admiral Dewey, by the way, denies that he
did this: lie says: ''There is not one word of
truth in the story II is false from beginning to
end" ! give the admiral the benefit OF his de-

iStration.

" + HAS been said that the Re-
publican leaders desire the nom
Il ination of a candidate for the
vice presidency who can assume
the burden of discussing Re-
publican policies which the presi-
dent, in respect to his office, is not per-
mitted to take up. If an orator is
wanted where is there better one
than Charles Emory Smith?
There are orators and orators. Some
ride the skies i'm chariots of hyperbole
and when next day you try to recall
single thought there is nothing but
a jumbled memory of words. No man
ever listened to a speech by Charles
Emory Smith without taking home
much to think about. His newspaper
training has taught him that no mere
splurge Of rhetoric can compensate for
a scarcity of ideas; and therefore 30
packs his speech chokc-full with we'll
edited information and invariably
words it so that the audience sees his
point.
He has the natural gift of eloquence-
the dramatic fire, the command of
elocution and gesture which hold and
sway great multitudes: but he never
talks for the mere sake of talking: ne
talks only when he has something of
importance to say. Take the wonder
full addresses which he has been de-
livering from time to time in eXplana-
tion of expansion. Not a man in the
country has better caught the note of
American destiny or pictured more
clearly the conditions which have
made inevitable this new out reaching
of national power and responsibility.
He is the logical spokesman of the ad-
ministration and eXpounder of it,
policies and, as such, is entitled to go
on the national ticket.
There is possibility that he may he

the Harrisburg convention; but it is

exports in this period have
trebled, rising from $444OOO,O0O in 1872
TO s1,227 100000 in 1899 and growing
now in a manner to amaze the world.
But wonderful as this growth is it
as nothing compared with the growth
in the same period of our domestic
commerce, notably that on our great
lakes. The tonnage of vessels engaged
in commerce passing through the st.
Marys Falls canal increased from 9l4.-
735 registered tons in 1872 to q. .95S, 947
tons in 1899, the increase having been
over 1000 per cent, as against an in
crease of 100 per cent. in total foreign
The percentage of freight carried by
Canadian vessels, which in 1887 was I
per cent. of the total, was in 1898 only
2.2 per cent. The value of Canadian
craft passing this point was in 1897
S2,OS9, 400, and in 1898 $2,49l 900; while
that of American craft, which in 1887
was $17,6S4, $50 was in 1898, $45, 1893, 800,
the value of Canadian craft having in
creased less than 20 per cent, while
that of American craft had nearly
trebled. With this increase in tonnage
and business had come an equally
striking decrease in freight rates, the
cost of transportation per ton per mile
having fallen from 2.3 mills in 1887 to
10 of one mill in 1898.
1t is more than a coincidence that
this wonderful prosperity has been
built up under Republican legislation;
that it, has been at it's highest wher
Republican supremacy was most secure
and at its lowest during the intervals
of Democratic administration, or OF
Democratic possession of one or bott
branches of congress.

american Labor
Is MOI LaWIeSS


From the Philadelphia Times
THERE HAVE BEEN several recent
serious labor troubles in different
sections of the country which have
threatened the peace and endangered
the safety of the community, but it is
creditable to American workingmen
that in no instance has any such issue
been presented save where the disturb
ing labor elements, were aliens to our
government and strangers to our in
stitutions and language. We cannot
recall an instance in all the serious
labor convulsons of the past, where
American workingmen have defied the
laws and required an appeal to the
military to maintain public peace.
o
There IS now very serious labor
trouble in New York state, where some
seven hundred workers on the Croton
Dam, wholly foreigners, are out on a
strike, and their conduct has been so
violent that fifteen hundred soldiers
have been called out to restrain the
lawless violence of these alien disturb
ers of our industry and business. The
troops were called there not to make
war upon the strikers but simply to
maintain the peace; toprotect the rights
of every person in the community, in
Guiding strikers, contractors and citi-
zens, and vet when the troops We're
first marched to the place, one was
assassinated by a striker in ambush a
cowardly murder that could have been
perpetrated only by an anarchist. This
wanton murder of a soldier has greatly
incensed the troops and the community
against an organized band of alien an
archists, but military authority has
prevent any retaliation.
o
The American workingman is not an
assassin; he is not an anarchist; he is
not lawless. He believes in the law
that protects him and all others in the
enjoyment of their rights, and the only
criticism that can be made of the
American labor organizations of the
country is that they have not squarely
and boldly denounced the murderous
anarchist who plies his vocation in the
name of organized labor. The labor
organizations of the country are re-
spected everywhere, and they would be
omnipotent in obtaining every just
right, If they would entirely separate
themselves from the lawless elements
which take shelter under organized
labor. We had a painful illustration
of it in Luzerne county only a few
years ago, and that fearful tragedy
would never have stained the annals of
the commonwealth if even one-half the
striking workingmen had been Ameri-
cans. 1t was simply the outgrowth of
the anarchist the alien, the men who
are without a country, who hate law
and all who prosper under the law.
