1t is q sweet scented thing, this
bowling 'Tagal" and "copper" head"
and treason" at every free born
American citizen who exercises his
God given right to demand that our
government cease its aping Of British
colonial ideas and methods and be
American in all things. This is land
of the free, and as such each one has
a right to his honest opinions, and to
express them, too, if they are in de-
cent language, and the lickspittles
who fawn and grovel at every move
of "party," regardless of its direction
have little business giving advice or
calling names which are as applicable
to themselves as to any one else on
earth. There is no greater traitor
than the man who would follow his
party into any position, even to the
overthrow of the Declaration of In
Observation-Disclosures Transcript.

LINCOLN REPuBLlcANlSM.

In a speech in Congress, January
IS, Senator Wellington Of Maryland,
who is a Republican of the cold time"
brand, that sticks to the principles of
human liberty, and defes the admi-
nistration, said:
"Also, SIR to my mind a golden OPP
pOrtunity to give the world bright
example of our faith by our works, is
to crown the desire Of the Filipino for
self-government with fulfilment.
\ If it be the purpose Of the admins
tration and the majority party to
seize and hold perpetual)y the Philip
pine islands for colonies, let it be
made known in a direct, unequivocal
and manly fashion. Doubt and un-
certainty will cease and the nation
will stand face to face with a new dis
pensation in it's affairs. [ shall pro-
test against it. I have deep convic-
ton that it will be national crime
which would ever blot the escutcheon
of the nation and remain stain upon
the national honor. And having these
convictions I must stand against every
attempt made to carry into effect such
a grievous error.
81 come of stubborn race. We
are perhaps dull and slow of learning,
but lesson once taught is with us
not easily forgotten; an opinion once
formed. which becomes a heartfelt
conviction, will not be surrendered.
History tells us that nearly four GEN.
turtles ago a Germen peasant became
Augustinian monk. AS such, after
years of mental struggle, he found
himself compelled to stand against
the existing order. He became the
great refOrmer of the sixteenth centu-
ry, and as he stood alone before the
combined forces of the Roman HER.
archy and the German empire, he re-
fused to recant what he had written,
and when the anathema of the church
and the ban of the empire were abont
to be hurled upon his devoted head,
he stood before the vast assemblage
and said, II have a deep conviction
I cannot recant unless l am refuted.
It is not expe1ient to act against con-
science. God help me. .Amen.' -
Coming of his race and people, l feel
to day faint reflection of a strong
will and fixed conviction of this man.
I have deep conviction. 1t has not
been shaken, and I will not swerve
from it: and I close my appeal for
justice of the Filipino with declara-
tion that neither party policy nor
personal interest in future career
shall cause me to surrender the right
"as God gives me to see the right.''

regardless Of all efforts to abolish it. 8
This Is the tone and spirit of incorrig-
IDLE criminals. The liquor dealers thus
unmask their rebellion. They fatty
defy law. ''Regardless of all efforts
to abolish the saloon" they tell US
they will sell liquor. We who may
vote no-license in town under the
Minnesota are given to understand
point-blank that these anarchists will
sell liquor ''regardless of all efforts, :"
etc.
Note-This is not wild remark of
some temperance worker who makes
accusation against the saloon-keepers.
This brazen defiance of law is printed
In the weekly paper of the Liquor
Dealers Association, and is given out
from their own camp. This their re-
bellious motto: "Regardless of all
efforts to abolish liquor selling, we
will sell liquor.'' 1t is certain that
self-respecting citizens must therefore
lay the strong bond of the law upon
liquor dealers and treat them just as
their confessed. rebellion demands.
The law-enforcement work which the
Antl-Saloon League has begun must
90 forward. Saloonists defy govern
ment and law. Their business is Grim.
inal. Their spirit is criminal. Their
deeds are crimes. Their regard for
government and law is hatred, de-
tiance, anarchy and rebellion.-Min-
nesOta Issue.

TEMPERANCE COMMENT.

N'e% q *Ee T. ef w SResnfen0en' OF the
Madison, Wis, State Journal:
Tariff, silver, colonial policy-cut no
figure compared with the national
curse of drink.
Here is clipping from one of the
leading liquor papers, the Washing
ton Sentinel:
1t those meddlesome fellows, who
make q living by their alleged temper
ance agitation, want to find out what
the liquor traffic is, they have plenty
of opportunities without putting their
hands into the United States treasury.
They may do that at home, or, if they
must come to Washington, they can
visit our senate and house restau-
rants, which are we'll stocked with the
best of the markets for any and all iu-
vestigations of that kind. They might
also call at the Shoreham which their
papers have been advertising so much.
II -
No one who reads the papers, at
tends our courts, sits in municipal
councils, serves his district on the
board of county commissioners, or as
a member OF the state legislature, can
fail to abserve the bold, shameless an
archy and defiant rebellion against
government which. marks the liquor
dealers utterances and deeds. Here
is q mild sample of the law-defyiug
spirit of the organ of the Minnesota
liquor dealers organization. Speak
ing of the rebellion against the law
which the liquor dealers have practiced

The Philippine question is before
the American people to-day, and it
must be settled in the near future.
But the F'ilipinos-do they really
need an administrator? Not if we are
to believe the original statement of
the hero of Manila.
And to the impartial observer it
seems as ii the operations at the Phil
ippines are only a sham battle, in
spite of the glowing statements in
President McKinley's Boston speech
that we are executing Gods will and
act as mediator between civilization
and barbarism.
But civilization that feeds the SOL
diers on whisky and malaria, and
then kills the Inhabitants to show it's
profound love for their welfare, such
a civilization is a black irony against
a Christian country whose escutcheon
bears the inscription of justice, truth,
and equal rights.
And the victorious republican party
that in 1898 wrote commentaries on the
wisdom and patriotism of the present
administration in regard to the Span
ish-American war, stating how it was
carried on solely as "war for hu-
manity"-shall now the despotic spirit
of militarism sit in the chair of state
in Uncle Samuel's land to conquer
and tyrannize people whose only
"crime" is just case of self-pre-
servation?
The rights of individuals and ma
tions ought to be Magma Charta for
every man, whether brown or white;
but-"Mistaken man," said Franklin,
"you're paying too much for your
whistle, Twenty million dollars for
ten million of brown patriots, and
about a million dollars a day to
capture Aguinaldo and slaughter a
liberty-loving people,-such a lesson
is unworthy nation whose Christian
motto reads, I'm God we trust"
Imperialistic despotism and aristo-
cratic splendor have been curse to
the nations in time past, and they are
a doubtful blessing today.
The healthy advancement of our
civilization and enlightenment is re-
tarded by the choking nightmare of
war; and the blessed prerogatives of
freedom are stamped in the dust by
the hydra-headed monster of whisky
and money; the mass of the people
groans under the aristocratic, un-pa-
triotic, and un-American feeling of be-
ing great, greater and greatest; the
unhealthy increase of taxation is
splitting up all confidence, and the
public moral with love Of neighbor
is thrown overheard, because-''It's
the money that rules the world!' The
war-cry of our time seems to be: Cup
with the rich, and down with the poor!"
But, is there no remedy? Yes; just
let the Filipinos alone; give them a
chance to govern themselves; and in
case they should need our help and
ask for it, then we may step in with
honor and not be side-tracked as we
now are.
Let us own up our mistake and make
firm resolve never to be guilty
again: then let US strictly attend to our
own business in order to save our own
dear nation from an internecine strife.
Let the bugle-blast forever be-:
Down with the dollar, and up with the
man: The patriotism of Lincoln, and
fair play to all!
o. j. ROLLEVSON.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dread d disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure new known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly W on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

VOLUNTEERS TO COME HOME.
Regulars Now Going to Philippines Are
to Replace Them.

to Replace Them.
Washington, Sept. 3.-There has
been no change in the programme Of
the war department in the matter of
bringing home the volunteer troops
now serving in the Philippines. The
regular troops now being sent to the
Philippines are to replace the vOlun-
teers. In order, however, that Major
General Macarthur may have the
greatest possible force to carry on a
vigorous campaign, in the hope of end
ing the insurrection few weeks after
the close of the present rainy season,
it is intended to allow the volunteers
to remain as long as possible without
interfering with the plans for dis
charging all of them before July
next year.
This programme was decided upon
long before the beginning of the Chi
nese campaign, and the situation in
that country has nothing to do with it.
AT the same time, if conditions should
become such as to require additional
American troops in China, they would
probably be drawn from the Philip
pines.
