When Roosevelt remarked in his Life OF
Thomas H. Benton that no man not will

can give a good reason why he should be
entitled to the privilege OF living In a free
country, he not only aroused the Indignation
OF good many worthy Quakers. but he
stated in a nutshell his own ideas of what
a free country should be. In his code of
morality, or OF ethics. a mans fists are

A great deal OF nonsense has been talked
at one time or another about moral cour-
age being higher than physical courage,
but that does not change the fact that it
is, or interfere with the general state
ment that one man may be possessed Of
both kinds. Physical courage. moreover,
is not incompatible with a disinclination
to fight. II sometimes takes more bravery
not to defend ones self than to carry a
revolver or become good boxer. The
Quakers Of ante-bellum days were wont
to risk Imprisonment, whipping and death
rather than give up their connection with
the underground railroad. One of their
number was caught assisting a runaway
slave, and taken to Kentucky prison
where he spent sixteen years. and re-
ceived lashcs enough to kill man of
less hardy physique. Men who have risk

NO DIVORCE CONTEMPLATED.
Count De Castellane to Reduce Hi
Lavish Expenditures.


PARIS. Nov "A correspondent has
interviewed an intimate friend Of Count
Boni de Castellane in regard to the ap-
pointment of George ]. Gould as trustee
Of the estate of the Countess de Castel-
lane. This friend, who would not allow
his name to be used, said:
Count de Castellane has ordered his
doors closed to all reporters; therefore
all the alleged interviews with him that
have been printed by various papers are
false. The report that divorce proceed
fngs are contemplated is absolutely I'm
founded. and l trust you will print an
emphatic denial that any such action 10
contemplated. The countess is very fond
OF her husband. There has never been
the slightest quarrel between them, and
she has accepted and encouraged all the
expenses, because she thought she could
rely on her brothers.
The chief expenses of the count were:
For his yacht, 100000 francs; for the
Bazaar Charlie. 100000 francs; for his
castle. 10000. GOO francs: for the purchase
Of antiquities, 100000 francs. and for
nationalist politics, 100000 francs.
Besides this. he started and paid news

they have been victimized by these peo-

ments which have already been made rep
resent double the value of these pur-
chases. The creditors, however, will obey

THE cATALoN1AN UPRISING.
England Believed to BE at the Bot
tom of the Trouble.

MADRID, Nov 4.-The Pope strongly
condemns the rising in Catalonia. The
Bishop of Barcelona and other prelates.
acting by direction of the Papal Nuncio
here, have issued an encyclical forbidding
ecclesiastics from participating in civil
wars and ordering them to obey the ex-
;sting power. Five priests in Ma drid and
more than forty in the provinces have
been arrested for completely in the out
break. A number of civilians have also
been arrested. 1t is believed that the
main rising was fixed to take place at San
Carlos today. but the premature rising
in Catalonia spoiled the plan.
Some newspapers see the hand OF per-
fidious Albion in the whole affair. They
say they know as a fact that money for
the rising was found in London. This
idea apparently arises from the animosi-
ty caused by English sympathy with the
United States in the late war. since when
there has been a fixed idea that Great
Britain will, at the first opportunity.
seize the Canary and Balearic Islands.

WINGED that the leniency with which, in

undeserved but mischievous.
The massacres at Paoting-fu were as
atrocious as the most horrible that have

The Elephant POrtcnt.

Providence, as we have before observed.
appears to be on the side Of the righteous
and also of the strongest battalions! The
weather porteot in New York on Saturday
was not favorable to the trusts. 1t soaked

their campaign in the Empire State In
gloom and disn;ay.
There was another portent which, es-
pecially as it concerned an Ohio man, was
equally as good" We refer to the great

pear at the head Of the procession! There
was beautiful and touching allegory and
object lesson intended. 1t was that OF the
biggest of beasts. the Hanna organization,
leading the most voracious and savage of
brutes, the trusts, to victory. Providence
again was unpropitious and portentous.
The trust agents hired the elephant all
right, but failed to secure permit for his
appearance on the streets. So the most
significant feature OF the funeral had to be
omitted. The parade elephant-a native OF
Canton, China, recently imported-did not
head the procession on Saturday. 1t was a
cold day for Canton elephants. Will not
patriotic people. who may be superstitious.
feel justified in accepting the New York
manifestation as a sign that Providence
will not allow the Canton. Ohio. elephant
to head the procession on Tuesday?

Inc trust IS the natural ana legitimate
offspring of the imperialistic tendency at
home. The special benefits conferred up-
on this species of industrial monster by
the Administration constitute an uncon-
entitled by divine right to dominate the
majority. With the weapon of CONNER
cial power. the monopoly seeks to de-
stroy the citadel of popular rights. To
the trust the Constitution is unconsti-
tu:ional when it stands in the pathway
of special privileges. To the trust the
Declaration is a lot Of WORKOUT senti-
ment, nonsensical and innocuous in these
days when the dollar is supposed to do
the voting and the man to merely reflect
the opinion of the master. The flag, too,
has become merely symbol of mill
tary power for the benefit Of the pro-
moters of organized greed. as exemplified
in Porto Rico. For years the people have
been groaning under the weight of bur-
dens brought about by the dictatorial In
fluence of this commercial Imperialism.
Tomorrow they will have opportunity to
put an end to it. Tomorrow they will
have the power to crush the usurping
syndicate of monopolists for which Hanna
is the agent and Mckinley the tool. If they
