and simple republican people, content
to mind our own affairs on u own
soil, and let the rest of the world WAC

engaged in conquest as surely as was
Alexander of old or England Of to-day:
our men of wal make their presence
felt in all seas, and our army of one
hundred thousand men is scattered
from Puerto Rico to Sulu-half way

The Queens sympathy.

Boston Herald.
The South African war has been char
acterized by some notable examples of the
deep human sympathy hat is stronger
than the enmities produced by armed con-
f.ct. Both the English and the Beers have
furnished examples of chivalrous respect
for foemen that go far to ameliorate the
necessary brutalities of war. But, of all
these exhibitions, lone is more conspicu-
Gus than the Queens tender message to
the widow of Gen. Joubert, at once a mes
sage of sympathy from one long enduring
widow to one who is freshly ~bereayed, and
a rihute to the honorable character and
great ability of the soldier, who, in de-
Tense of his country, has inflicted on Eng
lish pride the most notifying blows is has
received in the last quarter of a century.
Such incidents tend, in spite of all wars,
to strengthen the sentiment of the broth
erhood Of man.

A Question of Honor.

New York World.
1t was not Beverage, but Indiana, that
asked a hearing for certain plain truths of
honor n honesty. 1t was not Beverage
but Indiana, that those Senators snubbed.
Senator Beveridge has shown courage
of the highest kind in standing out against
the administration and the party leaders,
in working for and in speaking for the
redemption of our pledges to Porto Rico.
But is he right in thinking hat if free
trade cannot pass he will be justified in
voting for the civil government bill which
incidentally enacts the perfidy? True,
Porto Rico does need civil government
sorely. But can there be an honorable
compromise with dishonor?

Paving the Penalty.

New York Post, Republican.
The country is now paying the penalty
of having for President a man without set
tied convictions man who is capable of
deliberately recommending TO Congress a
certain policy as our plain dpty, and then
within a few weeks using all of the power
which he possesses to force congressman
to go against that very policy. No spec
tacle so hum.liating and discreditable has
ever been presented by an executive Of
this Nation.

Signs are multiplying that the Ger

PRESIDENT HEARS PLAIN TALK.

President Mckinley must have had
an unpleasant quarter of an hour with
Webster Davis, Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, who has recently returned
from South Africa. The interview is
said to have been a stormy one, and as
a result of the Secretary's plain talk
he will probably have to go.
1t is asserted that the President sent
for Mr.. Davis four times, to urge upon
him the expediency of keeping quiet
as to the Boer war, and that to these
requests Mr.. Davis said:
MY conscience would not let me sleep
if l failed to tell our people and tell the
world the awful facts which the whole
world ought to know, as | know them"
Finally there was a meeting. and
Mr.. Davis spoke his mind in these
words:
Mr.. President, I have seen with my own
yes the battle for liberty which honest.
God-fearing people are making against
Kruger, and l promised him that l would
ask my government and my fellow-citiZens
to come to his relief.
Il have fulfilled that promise, and since
you take no interest in that cause of hu-
mainly, I must insist upon the acceptance
of my resignation. l am determined to
tell the people what l know, and L cannot
do so as a member of your administra-
ton"
There is a sting in these remarks
which must have made even Mckinley
winch. Americans will applaud Web
ster Davis for his courage, his love of
justice, and his admiration for a peo-
pie struggling for liberty and the right
to administer their own affairs in their
own way.

MUSICAL.

The Woman's Musical Club scored an
other distinct triumph at its open concert
at /. o. o. F. hall, last evening. The at
tendance was large enough to substan-
italy encourage the ladies. and the pro-
gramne announced was carried out with
the exception of two changes, the Mendels-
sohn Midsummer Nights Dream piano
quartette beng one Of the numbers omit
ted. For this Mrs. Nellie Warren-Hollo-
way was substituted. she playing:
a Dances Pagannlni
b Maiden's Wish ..................Chopin
The chorus did splendid work, and the
vocal numbers generally, whether solos or
concerted pieces, were given with the care
and skill which has made the public re-
citals of the organization so pleasing and
popular during the past seasons. Misses
Elsie Gundling and Flora Stifel, to whom
vocal solos fell, are to be particularly
congratulated.
OF Mrs. Holloway's instrumental work
there can be nothing but the highest praise.
Her first numbers, put in to fill a gap in
the programme, were a fitting prelude TO
her splendid recital of the Moonlight
sonata, op. n, No. l, Beethoven. Each OF
the three widely contrasting movements
was given with a beauty not often reached
by any but the best professional pianlste,
and the final allegro movement with It's
recurring waves of melody was partlcu-
larly appreciated. Miss Kate McHenry
and Mss Maud Noble, the latter heard for
the first time this season, gave a fine in
depreciation Of the overture to "Mignon,"
and measurably contributed to a most en-
joyable musical evening.
The Club will give two more concerts
this season, one in May and the last in
June, and is also planning a little musical
surprise for our people, which holds forth
every promise of being a conspicuous sue
cess.

The Sweetest Spot on Earth.

The farm is not quite paid for.
Early and late the father and mother
toiled, living sparingly and growing
daily more silent and stern. The
two sons, aged twelve and fourteen
years, working as steadily almost ss
their parents, but the silence and re
preston wore upon their hearts, and
by degrees they became discouraged
and then dissatisfied with their home.
It was a terrible shock to the busy,
preoccupied father, when by chauee
be overheard the two boys planning
to leave home; and it did not take
long to shape plans whereby the at
mosphere of the whole place ~as
changed. His two manly sons were
worth more to him than all the farms
in the world.
From q silent, sppsrently unsym
pathetic man, he found it worth
while to become once more boy, in
terested in all that interested bis two
boys, full Of prapks and jokes, brlm'
ming over with fun, treasure house
of tales OF long ago that were far
more thrilling to the bewildered boys
than dozen long books Of adventure.
The mother frightened up the
dreary home, bought some books,
subscribed for more papers. She
smiled now when her heart was
heaviest, and drew near to her sons
in a way she never had time for be-
fore and the boys promptly adjusted
themselves to the new conditions OF
the home, and voted it the sweetest
spot on earth.
