McKin1ey's recent speech in Phila-
delphia before the Union League was
Washingtonian in it's nodesty, sim
plicity and craftsmanship. It shows
President Mckinley to be deeply con-
scious of the forces that brought about
the results in the recent election, the
true significance of the results and the
,nomentous responsibilities placed
thereby on the Republican party. He
SAYS the contest has no personal phase
to him. He does not regard the vic
tory as the triumph of an individual or
of a. party entirely. He looks upon 1T
as "the unquestioned endorsement OF
the gold standard, industrial 1ndepen-
dence. broader markets, commercial
expansion, reciprocal trade, the open
door in China, the inviolabillty OF
public faith, the independence and au-
thority of the judiciary, and peace and
beneficent government under Amer1-
can sovereignty in the Philippines.
American credit remains unimpa1red,
| the American name uninpeached, the
honor of Amtrican arms unsull1ed, and
the obligations of righteous war and
treaty of peace unrepudiated."
Through the speech, over against
the carpings of his critics, the true
greatness of President Mckinley be-
comes all the more apparent. There
is none of the spirit of dictatorship
and imperialism in his speech. 1t is
full of the true American spirit, seek:
ing carefully to interpret and diligent-
1y to enforce the will of the people.
making no distinctions and acknowl-
edging the administration debt tc
the people, with the assurance that the
obligation will be met, that the repub'
lie will not be jeopardized, and that
the structure of the fathers will be
preserved as has been in the past "a
government of the people, by the PEG
pie and for the people"

The Sovereignty of the Press.

Henri .Rochefort proposes an
assemb1age of the journalists of
the world for the purpose of plan
ming a campaign in favor of the
Beers. To avoid the scrutiny of exist
ing governments, he would make the
Hague under protection of the Dutch
Queen, the place Of the assembly OF
the universal press. He would
raise funds and charter ships TO carry
volunteers to the Transvaal. r Thus
the Hague, according to Rochefort,
which was recently the field of the
Worlds Peace Convention. is to be
come theatre for convention of war
which is to be declared against Great
Britain by the press of all the nations
of the earth Mr.. Rochefort does not
declare his method of converting the
larger part of the British press. He
does not suggest in what manner the
newspapers of all countries which are
today, and honestly so, both pro Boer
and anti-Boer, are to be unified and
brought into solid phalanx, Democrat.
ic and Republican, Liberal and Con,
sentative, Wing and Tory, to march.
under the banner of Henri to twist the
tail of the British Lion and put a;
-quietus on the ambitions of John Bull.
In such purpose the press. would be
divided against itself and the Kingdom
could not stand. The Transvaal war
has cost England G55O,000,0oO. Would
it cost less for one-half the editors and
printers and devils of the press of the
world to drive England out of South
Africa, than it has cost England to
conquer the Orange Free State and the
Transvaa1?
Out of whose pockets would the null
tin1i11ions come? From whence would
proceed the victorious armies? Whose
transports and ships of war would
steam into Delagoa Bay? Who would
sit on the mighty throne of the press
of a hemisphere? Perhaps Henri
Rochefort, whose be1licose plan is the
most nonsensica1 of any since Napo
leon III planted Maximillian on the
throne of Mexico. He would be sec
ond Ivan the terrible, destined, like
that monarch of old, to seek asylum IN
"the tight little ISLE" in case he were
driven out of his own dominions by
the adherents of the stick and galley,
the paste-pot and the printing press.
Rochefort has written himself an
idiot. The sensible and humane thing
for the press of the world to do, under
existing conditions, is not to convene
for conflict, Ltt to unite it's splendid
forces for universal peace. The press
with the pen will be far nightier for
the elevation of humanity than with
the sword. The sovereignty of the
press must appear in the forum of In
te1lect, not In the arena of sanguinary
strife

Senator Hoar, than whom there are
few more cultured, in the old way, now
before the public, spoke to the students
of Harvard University not long since
on the mooted question of the value of
the study of the dead languages. AS
might have been expected from one of
Mr.. Hoar's school, he found phase of
the question on which he could lend
his e1oquence to the championship of
these more or less passe favorites.
But even Senator Hoar confined his
claims for the dead languages to the
demands of public career. He had
little to say about their general useful
ness. He referred to Canning, Burke,
Chatham and several other great Eng
lishmen as examples of the practical
value of the study of Greek and Latin.
By ransacking history one might
find as conspicuous public men who
have never had very extended &C
quaintance with the tongue of the an
clients as those to whom Senator Hoar
refers. There are some noteworty in
stances in our own history. Webster
was not a very fluent Greek scholar,
and Lincoln spent his leisure time
with Euclid rather than Homer Or
Horace. The experience of the learned
English lord who, with his Greek and
Latin and his fund of ancient lore, en-
tered the list against Richard Brinsley
Sheridan with his nin1ble wit and his
meaningless jargon that had Greek
sound, was a sorry one for the believer
in the efficacy of Greek and Latin.
But if the opponents of the dead lam
euages will confne themselves to the
sphere of Senator Hoar they will not
meet with much trouble. Let those
who are hankering after public ca
reer have all the Latin and Greek and
Hebrew they want, but give those who
have no wild aspirations after forum,
fame or learned repute chance to en-
p1oy their school time in some other
way than digging up Latin and Greek
roots and applying them to the fra
cases of Caesar in Gau1 and Xenophon
in Asia.

OFFICIAL PAPER KEKOSRA COUNTY
THURSDAY. NOV. %, 1900.

Thanksgiving approaches, redolent
with roast turkey and all the other
good things that burden the American
table on that festa1 day. The flavor OF
these things possesses the senses. The
day appeals to the stomach Of the av-
erage citizen far more than to his mind
or his sense of gratitude. 1t is a day
of feasting rather than ore of prayer
and praise to the Master of Destinies.
1t is day when it's countless devotees
pour their abundant offerings upon
the altar of the national appetite. To
eat, to devour, to stuff, is the domi-
nant and supreme purpose of the sa-
cred OCCASION The man, woman or
child who seriously retrospects and re-
cords what he has to be grateful for,
with true spirit of thanksgiving, is
created the day, it was proclaimed for
thanksgiving for rain after drouth,
plenty after famine, or success in
arms. When it has fallen upon an oc-
casion when some wonderful and par
ticuIar dispensation, such as these
that gave it birth, has aroused all
hearts to gratitude, it has been OBJ
served in its true aspect. But in these
hur1y-bur1y days, when the people and
the nation are accustomed to a surfeit
of good things, the sentiment of
Thanksgiving day is not appreciated.
Thanksgiving day is rational day.
1t is the oldest of the three distinctive
and generally observed national festi-
walls of the United States. Whereas,
Independence day can boast respect
able antiquity of only little more
than d century and Memorial day an
age of scarcely forty years, Thanks
giving day carries us back two CEN
turies and a half to the stern pioneer
days Of the pilgrims. 1t is day pc
culiar to America. 1t is significant of
the hardships and sufferings, suggest
i've Of the heroic courage and typical of
the simple faith of the pilgrim fathers
of the country. 1t is an institution
preserved throughout the ages, like
the holy sacrament, to make lis mind
full of the strenuous struggles and sac
rffices upon which our nation is built,
and thankful for our priceless heri-
tage.
The load of obligation accumulates
unou the head of the American as
the years go by. It would require
millennium of Thanksgiving days most
sincerely observed, to express any
thing like adequate thanks to Provi-
dence and posterity for the blessings
of American citizenship. On the day
set apart for that purpose every
United States citizen should acknowl-
edge his debt to the one to whom the
pilgrims gave thanks, to whom Wash
fngton prayed in the SHOWS of Valley
Forge, and upon whom Lincoln called
from the grave of his mother in the
lonely Indiana forest, and from the pre-
cincts of the White House when the
forces of union and disruption were in
their death struggle.

After the primary interest of Mrs
Fiske's production of Becky Sharp is
satisfed-that is to say the interest
that the play itself and its acting en-
body-the scenery and furnishings and
dressing of this drama are worthy of
detailed study. Not the least interest
ing of these features Is the costuming,
and the quick and almost radical
changes that formerly took place in
dress are suggested by the variations
in costume shown during the compar-
atively short period Of Becky Sharp"
The first and second acts represent
English dress in perhaps its most pic
torial forms. In the third act, which
passes eight years later, the forms,
especially of mems dress have become
exaggerated. And In the last act, five
years after the third, the fashions for
men have become almost grotesque.

Grand Opera House.

There was a crowded house at the
Grand opera house last night to see
Sutton Vane's great play, 1.-THE Span
of Life" There will be a matinee to-
day and the play will be repeated to-
night. At the end of the third act,
when the hero and the heroine are pur-
sued by savages they reach yawning
chasm, only to find that the bridge over
1t has been destroyed. In despair they
are about to commit suicide, when on
the opposite cliff three of their friends
(ex-circus acrobats) appear. Quickly
realizing the danger they mount on
each others shoulders, forming tower
fifteen feet high. The bottom man
catches his feet under the roots of a
tree The tower leans forward and
falls 1t is a moment of intense sus-
pense. The top man must catch to a
tree root on the opposite bank. Failure
means death to everybody, and the au-
dience see the real danger to the actors
if he should fail, for they are thirty feet
above the stage. The fall is made, the
root is grasped firmly and over this liv
ing "span" the fugitives pass from
danger to safety. 1t is thrilling situa-
ton, thrillingly worked out and is only
made possible by the skill and daring
of those premier athletes of the world,
the Donazettas who seem alike insen-
sible to danger or fear of failure. Seats
