SOUND FINANCE.
New York Journal.)


Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt. a venerable eX-
mayor of this city, Democratic in flag,
but Republican in principles, has this to
say about the possibilities of the presi-
dency:
- president hostile to a sound system
of finance could if so disposed bring about
financial CONFUSION and work almost ir-
reparable calamity TO the business inter-
eStS of the country"
Here is the old cry of the capitalists.
Business interests and calamity" Give
us our beloved dollar and trust in provi
dence for the honor of the flag"
By d strange dispensation of fate, eX-
Mayor Hewitt is a very wealthy Demo-
crat. Scratch a very wealthy Democrat
and nine times out of ten you will find
a Republican The moral force of wealth
swings its wOrshipers into the path of
single belief, no matter what they may
call themselves.
1t IS not strange. therefore. that ex-
Mayor Hewitt should find himself lined
up with the Republicans.
But why should he make such a pother
over the power of a president duly elect
ed by the people and supposed to labor
for the interests of the people to wreak
irreparable financial calamity upon them?
EX-Mayor Hewitt's keen financial in
tellect has doubtless grasped the fact
that a single bank in this city-that of
the Standard Oil cOmpany-With no OBJ
legations whatever to the people, could
plunge this country into almost irretrieV-
able financial disaster tomorrow if it so
desired
1t would seem a foolish thing to talk of
what a president can do when a Repub-
lican president and a Republican party
have placed in the power of one grasping
man the financial tate of the entire oeo-
pie. The president is no longer financial
arbiter.
John D. Rockefeller's bank carried on
its books last week the enormous sum
of S432, 092, 900, or almost one-fifth of the
entire amount of money in circulation In
the United States. OF this amount S2l,-
&c. 100 was United States treasury funds,
deposited by a Republican secretary with
out interest. In short, the government
loans Mr.. Rockefeller a sum almost equal
to the capital stock of his bank, without
receiving a penny for the loan. Is this
sound finance" Mr.. Hewitt? Is it
guarding the peoples interests? Does it
rebound to McKinley's glory?
Mr.. Hewitt's shot" it is almost un-
necessary to state, is aimed at Mr. Bry-
an. But Rockefeller is the financial Jove.
with the bolt of panic in his hands. The
financial fate of the country has been in
trusted to him by a Republican admins
tration.

MADAME Ii HUNG CHANG.
(New York SUM-

(New York Sum-
The wife of Lii Hung Chang is said to
be the most liberal of all the Chinese
women of her position. and, through
her husbands sympathy with some OF
the foreign devils, succeeded in acquir-
ing more education than any woman in
similar place. She is now So years
old, but is said TO look twenty years
younger, as a result of the care which
she has always bestowed to her per-
sonal appearance. After her marriage
to the viceroy she continued her studies
under his direction, and has always
been the most accessible of the titled
women. She has been especially cordial
to Americans, chiefly as the result of
her experience with the missionary doc
tors, although she took the trouble to
show her gratitude in a much more
material form. Before the French war
she was i'll with a complicated sickness
that her own Skili-She has made
study of medicine-and the treatment
of the native physician were unable to
alleviate. Two American doctors-a
man and woman attached to the mis-
sion at Tien Tsin-Were called in, and
through their efforts she was restored
to health. She presented dispensary
to the missionaries at Tien Tsin and her
husband did the same. But they did
with these. gifts, as they have both
from that time shown great hospitality
and friendliness to Americans. In other
particulars she represents the T2Ost
results of what western sympathies, or
at least liberation for western ciYiliZa-
ton, may accomplish in the case Of
Chinese of high rank.
In her way of life she has chung, how
ever, with strictneSs to the customs of
her own country. She lives in her pal
ace, surrounded by her wait
ing, the center of a little court, as are
ali women of her rank. The riches of
her husband enable her to live with
somewhat greater luxury than the vice
roys' wives usually know, and her dia-
monds are said to be the finest in the
empire. She is said to look after the
details of her household administration
personally. AS more than ,00e servants
are employed there, her duties are SER
iOus and are combined with her labors
as to what would be called treasurer of
her husbands property, as she follows
the custom of her country and looks
after the expenditures. She is said 10
have made her reputation as leader in
fashions by inventing fifty different
ways in which her glossy black hair
could be dressed, although il is probable
that to the average American they
would all look alike. Her feet are as
disfigured as are those of all Chinese
women of rank, and only by being car
ried three hours in the fresh air each
day is she able to make a preteRSe at
the exercise of European women. Oil
of orange and acacia blooms are said
to be the component parts of the bath
which she takes twice daily, and out
of the fifty coiffures her favorite is
style called THE Faithful DragOness,"
a beast supposed to be the guardian of
all good women. The hair is twisted
into the shape of what might, to the
ardent eastern imagination, appear to
be dragon, and in what is intended TO
be its mouth a white lotus flower. is

Street Car Manners.

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Street car manners are a perpetual
source of entertainment to me-" said a
local professional man who spends
something like an hour a day on one
of the electric lines. Not long ago
noticed young woman occupying the
car. Presently a well dressed woman
came aboard and stopped alongside OF
the girl.
The latter evidently liked the end
seat and made herself as small as pos
sible so the newcomer could crowd by
her and take the next seat But no.
The well dressed woman gave the girl
a shocking scowl and harshly re-
marked: oh, move along, can't you?
And the girl moved mighty quick.
Now mark the sequel A little later
one of the occupants of the same seat
moved out and at about the same time
a weary looking workingman with a
long bundle stepped forward to take
the vacant place. Did that dictatorial
female move up and make room fol
him? Not much.
Can't you find a seat somewhere
else" she snapped.
Probably he didn't understand her
Anyway, he smiled and crowded past
and in doing so managed to turn his
long bundle around in such a way that
it knocked the unpleasant Woman'S hat
completely off her frizzly head.
And l laughed so over this bit OF
practical justice that 1 almost fell on

AN UNHOLY WAR.
Denver NeWs.l

If il were possible to take the people
OF the United States to the Philippines
and to place them as spectators of the
war now in progress in those islands, the
administra TONS policy of imperialism
would be defeated by a majority of mil
lions of votes next November. Even with
out that impressive object lesson, the ad-
miniStration will be overwhelmingly de-
Ieated because there are too many Repub-
Means VINO are opposed to the wholesale
and Wanton slaughter of human beings,
too many Republicans who cling to the
doctrines of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and revere the memory of Lincoln to
permit brutal and dangerous Imperialism
10 become part of the settled policy of
this country
Disguise the truth as we may beneath
appeals TO national pride and prejudice,
the truth remains that the Filipinos are
lighting for freedom and the American
administration is determined that it will
Kill them all If necessary rather tina n
permit them TO have their freedom.
our own soldiers who are fighting the
t1liplnoS are doing so, not because they
nate the Fllipinos, not because they wish
TO deprive the FiIipinoS of freedom, but
because it is their duty as soldiers to obey
and to die, if need be. in the carrying out
of orders which are abhorrent to them as
individuals
When we read of villages burned. of
whole populations reduced to restitution
OF scores OF hundreds of FilipinoS killed
or women and children dying of want, of
all the multiplied evils of war, We know
that NE are infiicting those horrors upon
people who are fighting for liberty with
as much OF justice on their side as the
fathers of the American republic had in
When we read of American soldiers kill
ed or wounded, stricken by disease or
Frustrated by hardships. we know that
the flower of strong, vigorous American
manhood is being sacrificed for the I'M
molly purpose of subjecting a race to for
eign domination for the benefit of finan-
elal syndicateS and trusts
When we recall that the red river of
plood flowing in the Philippines never
would have had a source had President
mckinley been guided by time-honored
american principles, we must pronounce
this an unholy war
Inc conscience of the country viii not
sustain an imperialistic war of conquest
untli the reading of American history has
peen abolished from American schools
and the teachings of American statesmen
are forgotten.

One day Criminal Aggression bethought
Himself of Taking a Walk in the Ada
cent Country. Realizing that His aspect
was Repelling he Concluded to Secure a
Disguise.
After Looking about for a Time, Grim
inal Aggression made note of the APP
prOach of Benevolent Assimilation.
Just the Thing" exclaimed Criminal
Aggression. Il will Rob Benevolent As
similation of her Habiliments and after
Downing Them Myself l will be in a Po-
sition TO Do Things without Fear"
So saying, Criminal Aggression Swatted
Benevolent Assimilation over the Caput
and Denuded her of Her Robes In due
Time Criminal Aggression Came down the
Pike rugged out in the Habiliments of
Benevolent Assimilation.
But Criminal Aggression had Overlooked
a Wager. He had Forgotten to Disguise
His Ferocious Teeth and He still wore a
SLOUGH Hat and staggered.
The Result was that when the Honest
Peoples saw Him they Immediately Per
formed their Plain Duty and Ducked Him

The Irishman's Bluff.
CThe LOST cause !

(Ine Lost CduSe.)
One day a gentleman, not connected
with the army, was riding to Overtake
Lewis Kentucky brigade, then serving as
mounted infantry, and operating between
Augusta and Savannah, Ga, after Sher-
man had reached the latter city The
brigade, reduced to a few hundred by
four years active service in the field, had
just marched through a little village,
where the gentleman soon after arrived.
He rode up TO the door of a cottage, III
which dwelt an old Irishman and his
spouse, and, tipping his hat, la soldier,
inquired if they had seen any rebels pass
ing. The old lady, seeing that the inter-
rogator had on a blue army oVercoat,
naturally concluded that he was the ad-
vance of federal column in pursuit,
and, being a true sOutherner, she sought
to do the cause a service by at once strik-
ing terror into the enemy's ranks. She
therefore answered:
"Yis, sir; they have jist been afther
marchin' through, and there was twinty
thousand o. them if there was single
mon"
The gentleman thanked her for the in
formation, and again tipping his hat la
soldier, turned his horses head in the
direction the '.twinty thousand" had gone.
The old man, then, thinking that the ex-
aggeration had not been sufficiently COM
plete, ceased the vigorous whiting at his
pipe long enough to call after the sup
posed federal:
'9Yis, sir; that's livery word the truth, ii
