For Cowhiding a Teacher.

Among the cases tried last week at the
Montgomery county court, was that against
Carlton e. Baker. young Washingtonian,
upon the charge of assaulting Wellington M.
Penn, principal of the public school at Etchi-
son. He was found guilty and fined 500 and
costs.
The testimony showed that the assault was
the result of whipping administered by Penn
to Bakers little brother, pupil at the school.
About week after the child was whipped the
elder Baker travelled from Washington 10
Etchison for the purpose of getting even with
the teacher He entered the schoolroom
while school was in session and gave Penn a
severe cowhiding. He departed, but returned
at the noon recess and again attacked the
teacher. As a result of the treatment receiv-
ed at the hands of Baker, Penn was unable to
appear in his schoolroom for about u week.
In passing sentence the Court characterized
the assault as an outrage, and stated that if il
were not for the fact that the defendant was
the sole support of his mother and sister he
would be sent TO the House of Correction.
Penn was tried for an assault upon the Baker
child, but was acquitted, the chastising, in the
opinion of the Court, not amounting to an as
sault.

GRAVE SENATOR GROWS
FUNNY
And Tells an Anecdote at the Elk
pense of Senator Gollinger.

humorous speech in the United States Senate is
not often heard, and by Senator Pettus, OF Ala
bama, last week provoked much laughter. Senator
Pettus is nearly 70 years old, and delivered his
speech with as much seriousness rs though he was
making Il funeral oration. After discussing the
constitutional attitude of the Puerto Rico tariff BILL
he turned his attention rdiculng Senators Beve-
ridge and Golinger Senator Golinger, of New
Hamphire is physician and he prefaced his speech
by stating that he was not lawyer. Mr.. Pettus
alluded to that and remarked that Senator Goling-
er well proved his assertion. Then he told story
about colored preacher in Alabama. "The min
ister" he said Twas as learned in the Bible as my
friend from New Hampshire is in the law. Laugh
teri He said: Brethren, my text today will be the
following. Seven sons did Micah bear unto Enon."
Now expect, brethren the preacher went on, If
you would look at the commentaries you would
find various meanings to this text; but, taking a
common sense view oft will say thisI expect that
Enon was sick and the doctor told his seven sons,
great strong fellows that it was absolutely neces-
sary that he should have milk for his nutriment I;
and thereupon the seven sons went out to look up
the COWS. The cows had not come up the night be-
fore and 50 the sons could not find them; but they
came across a bear and they MIXED her and carried
the milk Enon: and So brethren, it is writ; Sev-
en- sons did milk a bear unto Enon.'"
That preacher" concluded Mr.. Pettus, amid an
outburst oflaughter, "had as accurate conception
of the Scriptures some of our Senators have OF
the law of the land"

The Message of Easter.


Comes once more the Easter message to
a weary world. Message of joy Let
spirits rejoice and be glad, it cries. Mes
sage of cheer Let hearts exult, and fes-
Invites in the church of the living God be
mighty. Message of sanctifed expression
of devotion Hang cloister and plaster
with garlands, let bright lilies deck the
altar, let holy professions pass to the wor-
ship of the triumphant Jesus, while pro-
cessionals reverberate through nave, and
choir, and arches of great cathedrals, and
sacred song stirs devout hearts in humble
chapels, or in the humber home. Give
honor to Jesus. Lift up your heads, gates
of the human heart, and let the King of
Glory in ! Who is this King of Glory =?
The Lord, strong and mighty, triumphant
over death and the grave, Jesus the Christ,
He is this King of Glory. This is the
message of Easter. In every land where
the sun shines some ear will hear, and some
heart will respond.

GERMANS AGAINST MCKINLEY
Oswald Ottendorfer Thinks They
Would Prefer Bryan.

The New York World prints an interview
with Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the Stats
Zeitung, on the prospects of the coming politi-
cal campaign Mr.. Ottendorfer said:
1.-THE German Americans voted almost
solidly against Bryan and free silver four years
ago. They are still opposed to free silver,
but they know that the gold standard is now
a reality and that it cannot be interfered with
for some years to come"
GAS between Mckinley and Bryan" was
asked, "who would be your choice? p
Personally and speaking only for myself, !"
replied Mr.. Ouendorfer, II would prefer
Bryan to Mckinley. In my opinion, the
Kansas City convention would do wise thing
by remaining silent on the free silver issue.
The Democratic party has great porlunity
if it looks forward and not backward. A
great majority of the people of this country
do not wish TO be forced to vote for Mckinley
ism, imperialism and militarism, and | am
convinced that thousands and thousands OF
voters who four years ago preferred Mckinley
to Bryan are now ready to prefer Bryan to
Mckinley.
"Of course, they might prefer to vote for
some one in place of Bryan"

From the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic.
A chronological examination of the atti-
tudes which President Mckinley has occupied
on the Puerto Rican Tariff question supplies
food for study for psychologists.
December, 1S99-President Mckinley, in a
message to Congress, recommends free trade
for Puerto Rico.
January, 1sOO-Secretary of War Root, a
member of President McKinley's Cabinet, in
constant communication with the President,
at the request of the House Ways and Means
Committee, drafts bill placing tariff of %
Rico.
Observation-Disclosures come TO the House
of Representatives that the President approves
rs per cent. tariff on Puerto Rico.
March bill placing tariff of 25 per cent.
on Puerto Rico passes the House.
March president Mckinley, in mes
sage to Congress, recommends the return to
Puerto Rico of all moneys collected as tariff
from Puerto Rican exporters.
March 9-"Cabinet member" issues "au-
thoritative statement" in which he declares
that the tariff on Puerto Rico was demanded
by certain business interests" which feared
that free trade in Puerto Rico would be taken
as precedent for free trade in the Philippines.
March Examinations come to the Senate
Puerto Rcan tariff to 15 per cent.
March 1.-THE President declares to promi-
nent Republican Senators, among them Sena-
tor Beveridge, that he favors free trade with
Puerto Rico without extending the Constitu-
lion over that island.
March I7-President Mckinley declares to
Senators who consult him that he favors one
way duty on Puerto Rico as a temporary de
vice.
March 21-President is brought TO favor
- per cent. duty on pressure of important
business interests
March 24-President favors a separation OF
the governmental and tariff sections of the
Puerto Rican bill.
After all these changes it is doubtful whether
or not any man in the United States, even
President Mckinley himself, knows where the
President of the United States stands on the
question of the Puerto Rican tariff. Mean
while. Puerto Rico's trade is paralyzed and
her citizens are starving.
