Abraham Lincoln.

When leaving his home at Spring.
fild. ILL.,, to be inaugarated, President
of the United States, made farewell
address to his old friends and neigh
bors, in which he said, "Neighbors give
your boys chance"
These words come with as much
force to-day rs they did when Lincoln
spoke them.
Up in the northwest is great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows
to come and deAelope it and grow mp
with the country" All over this broad
land are the young fellows, the boys
Lincoln referred to, seek to better
their conditions ana get on in life.
The country referred TO lies along
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here
you can find pretty much anything
you want. In Minnesota, and i'll the
Red River Valley, of North Dakota,
the finest prarie land fitted for wheat
and grain, or as well as for daring and
diversified farming. In western North
Dakota and Montana are stock ranges
limitless in extent, clothed with the
most nutritious of grasses.
If a fruit farming REGION in wanted
there is the whole state of Washington
to select from.
AS for scenic delights the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through coun
try unparalleled. In crossing the
Rocky and Cascade mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen
i'm the United States from car windows
is found. The wonderful bad lands,
wonderful in graceful form and glow
ing color, are poem. Lakes Pend d.
Oraille and Ceur d. Alene, are alone
worthy of rans.continental trip. The
ride along the Clark Fork of the Col
umba river is a daylight dream.
TO reach and see all this the North
ern Pacific furnishes trains and ser
vices of unsurpassed excellence. The
most approved and comfortable pal6ce
sleeping cars; the best dining cars that
can be made: Pullman Tourist cars
good for both first and second class
passengers; easy riding day coaches
with baggage, express and postal cars
all drawn by powerful locomotives,
make train fit for royalty itself.
Those seeking for new homes should
take this rrain and go and spy out the
land. To be prepared, write to CHAs

The Democratic Party Today.

Chicago Chronicle, dem. The party
of Jefferson, the party which he founded
and led and which had adhered to his
ideals during the greater part of a
century, has practically disappeared.
1t has not died, as the federalist and
whig parties died; it has quarreled and
separated. 1t has lost it's leaders. IL
has dissolved into factions. It's creed
has been corrupted. Nowhere in the
republic is there to be found a leader
ship and a platform of principles purely
democratic. They are tainted in some
degree in all sections by the errors Of
republicanism and rampant follies of
populism.
In the south the so-called democratic
party is monstrous pretense, a mere
survival of race hatred, actuated by no
other controlling sentiment, and sub
ject, as matter of course under such
conditions, to impulsive and i'll con-
sidered movements in one direction or
another as this or that delusion may
seize upon its members.
In the east the predominating in
fuence Of Tammany, an undemocratic
organization welding despotic power
frequently for evil, has had at times a
baleful effect upon thelparty member
ship in districts where the principles
of democracy were held with consider
able tenacity.
In the far west, where the democratic
party never attained much strength,
its machinery has been seized upon by
populistic republicans hating the very
name OF democracy and despising its
principles, who have used its organiza-
ton to further the widest notions of
rotten finance and bedlamite economy.
In all parts of the republic schisms
and isms, mostly socialistic in their
origin. have arisen and attached them
selves to the democratic name. Many
of these departures have been the
natural outgrowths of republican
class rule. Some of them hane been
imported from monarch ridden Europe.
All of them tend Enthusiastically toward
state socialism, which is the very
antithesis of democracy and which, in.
stead of being new and desirable, was
old and worn out and discarded When
the creed of Jefferson was given to the
world.

medans continue in the full enjoyment
of their peculiar lives and liberties in
which they are greatly assisted by their
long sharp knives. On their fifty or
more habitable islands they continue
to worship in their own Mohammedan
way, to bear the responsibility OF as
many wives and families Ms they can
afford to keep, as many slaves as they
can get, to chew beetle nut and fight
with sharp knives, to dance and sing
and to be the most disreputable,
picturesque, dirty and interesting
mortals who decorate the face Of the
earth in this age OF the world.
A keen edged knife heavy enough TO
sever the head Of an enemy is the one
absolutely necessary possession OF
Moro. Like the Texas mans revolver
it may not be needed often, but il it
should be he feels that he has not
carried it in vain Give him gorgeous
red, green and orange colored sash in
which to carry his trusty knife and a
box of beetle-nut and he can dispense
with the remainder of his wardrobe and
frequently does. But take away his
knife and he would consider himself
naked, brilliant in clothes in many
colors though he may be. These
knives are of various shapes and
weights, usually long and heavy. The
barong most commonly used is a
fish shaped blade accurately balanced
for cutting. SO strong and heavy is it
that it slashes through body and bone
ut blow. For thrusting, the famous
creepy looking Malay creese is used.
These are either straight or q waved
snake-like two edged-blade. For other
uses are various fascinating weapons,
two handed swords, beheading knives,
spears and daggers. For defense they
have clumsy, wooden shields and coats
of mail made of chains and Caribou
horn plates.
A free born Moro scorns work as
something far beneath his dignity. His
slaves and wives labor for him while he
strolls about with other males of leisure
or serves in his Dato's train of followers
which is tue same as body guard and
that is when they wear the frery colors
for which they are noted. The females

ly. Their religion allows them -four
wives and as many slaves as they are
able to buy. At any time that a wife
or slave should dare to disobey their
masters orders he may kill them at
once if he wishes. Through their
religion native badrow as much as he
can pay back in stated time but if he
should fail to pay back within the
limits of the stated time he becomes a
slave at once and his entire family, also
condemning them in the world beyond.
1t Is their belief that after once being
condemned through this course that
himself or family can never enter
heaven until he has killed so many dis
believers of their religion and he also
must be killed in his religious fight,
which releases his family from slavery
at once and makes them safe in the
world beyond. When he first starts

Editor of REPUBLICAN,
Dear Sir This is the worst month
in the year for typhoons and these is
lands lay in their direct path. The
natives stand in terrible fear Of wind at
sea and will pull in to the nearest shore
at once in case squall strikes them
while out. OF all the puzzled people
who have recently seen the new flag of
the United States rise over them, is
the Moros of the southern Philippine
Islands, for the brilliant colors Of the
American flag is very pleasing to the
Moro's eyes. Every Moro with
canoe OF any size has the stars and
stripes flying from its stern, for the
government furnishes every Moro with
a flag that wishes one. They have the
Mohammedan religion and all Moham-
medans were Moros to the Spaniards
Of the early days, and although these
southern islanders are in no way con-
nected with the Moros except in
religion, the Spaniards regarded them
as their natural foes. For three hun
dred years Spain accordingly struggled
fruitlessly to conquer and convert these
savage people to Christianity. They
are very savage when once aroused and
have slain many of the Spaniards in
their attempt to conquer them. At the
present time they roam the different
islands in peace but they are treacher-
GUS, the same as the American Indian,
which was proved February last by the
killing of three American soldiers and
wounding two belonging to II company
OF the 23rd which was doing garrison
duty at this post at that time. They
scaled the walls at Jolo about three
quarters of a century ago and mas
sacred the entire garrison consisting of
300 Spanish soldiers. The Spanish
General in command climbed tree
and succeeded in killing eleven of his
enemy with his pistol before he fell
from the tree. So brave fighter was
he that they did not behead him as it is
their custom to do. He was buried at
the foot of the tree where he fell but
the tree reaches now far out over his
grave and the head of his grave is
marked with tombstone with the in
cident carved upon its face in Spanish.
Gen. Bates was given instructions
to conclude treaty OF friendship with
the Moros and to him belongs the
credit of having arranged the terms
upon which the Moros recognize the
sovereignty of the United States while
retaining their own independent
government, but of late they have
broken the treaty The Sultan was,
andinfact isyet, if the Am erican gov
ernment wishes to let him be, supreme
over his own people and the Americans
are represented by a few scattered
garrisons which attend to their own
business Of garrison duty leaving oui
Moro neighbors beyond the outposts
free to do as seems best in the sight OF
Z their Dato chiefs. Thus these Moham'

and mounted infantry are at Nenters-
burg road station, and fuckers division
is at Deelfontein nord. Ian Hamilton's
force and Broadwocd's cavalry brigade
were making for the cross roads near
Ventersburg when [ last heard from
them.
:.Hamilton's column met with stub
born resistance, and Smith -Doorien's
brigade was engaged for some hours in
protecting the rear flank of his force.

Boers Make Strong Resistance.

RE1TzsPRuT, May 12.-The Beers op-
posed the British advance. holding po-
sitions north of Zaand drift back along
the whole line from General Hamilton
on the east and General Hutton on the
west. Chiefly artillery was engaged
The Sussex regiment charged kopJe at
the point of the bayonet and the East
Lancashire charged another. The Brit
ish loss is insignificant.
General Hutton had a series OF artll-
lery details. Twenty Beers We're taken
prisoners. The advance continues. The
enemy is fighting half-heartedly. The
Free Staters arc sick of the war.
The rear guard Of the Beers, with their
guns, resisted the advance. The mount
ed infantry, two batteries and pompons,
cleared the way and the Third cavalry
brigade acted as a screen before the
main column. General French was on
the left and Ian Hamilton on the right.
The East Lancashire and Sussex regl-
ments worked well to the front. The
order was given and like flash the two
regiments sprang forward simultane-
ously and in a few moments had secured
two commanding ridges.
The advanced line was within 1000
yards of the Beers main trench and the
latter were already losing heart from
the demonstration on their flank, but
they kept up a rapid though wild fire.
At this moment the final charge was
ordered and away went the Lancashire
and the Sussex regiments again, but the
Beers could not stand it, and they fairly
bolted along the whole line.
It is impossible to ascertain the Boer
losses, but they are thought to be heavy.
Those of the British, considering the I'M
portant advance made, are considered
light.
