is favorite expression with some of
our famous congressman.
But bring up bill to grant special
privilege to some railroad syndicate,
some manufacturing monopoly, or
product trust, and pandemonium reigns
with vociferous proclamations of it's
supporters. Ye Gods how Yankee
Doodle has fallen! O ye American
soverelgns of village, town and city,
are these the men in whose hands you
place your faith, honor. and welfare of
your family? Are these the samples
of what men deem honorable and best
among the loyal and noble-hearted
American people? Shame on such
honor, justice or Christianity that sup
ports or excuses such existing condi-
tiOns.
Instead of collecting millions to
build more churches, let those who
preach Gods word do the work that is
at hand and help clear out the corrupt
boodling legislators of their state. It
were better to take the universal vote
OF the people on any acts or law affect
ing the states welfare than to have
such set of men gambling with the
peoples rights
The people don't require of the state
senators to take the lecture platform
or public stump and tell them of the
injuries inflicted on the tax payers and
wage earners of the state by the cor
rupt combines and trusts. The people
know it. But explain to them who
trust to your honor as men, to guard
their welfare; why, in your capacity
as representatives you have passed
acts and created laws that permit such
criminal conditions to prey on the
honest citizens of.your state.
1t is not partyismT that constitutes
right-it is principle, and the principle
of truth and honor should be support
ed by every man, be he Republican,
Democrat, corn-planter or mugwump.
The people have listened too long to
the loud-mouthed orators, who climb
on the table and fluctuate from the
rock bound coast of our grand Repub-
lie to the sun-kissed waves of Manila
bay. The people don't want pine
woods oratory. They want honest
actions that will support the honesty
and welfare of a nation or state.

Criticism.

Criticism is sometimes misunder-
stood in its application to many con-
ditions and individuals. Yet, without
criticism there would be very little
progress and no perfection in anything
pertaining to man or his vocations
During the French army scandals,
severe criticisms were passed upon the
methods of French justice, and it was
given from the critics standard of
moral justice as recognized throughout
the Christian world. Therefor it must
be correct. Now when an individual
criticises the morals or actions of a
class, sect, or party, there are people
who in turn criticise the critic and
call them cranks. Such are the con-
ditions of our civilization, and as some
easy going preachers contend, are in
evitable and must be endured.
Now such reasoning is false. Per-
fection comes from experiment. 1t is
the same in relation to the social or
moral conditions of a state or a people
And one of the most essential and
important factors in the advancement
of a people toward perfect civiliza-
tion. They are placed in their high
positions by the people, who expect to
be benefited therefrom. 1t would be
tedious to take the reader back to the
source of American legislature or Con-
gress since their organization in this
country. Suffice it to state that the
body were adopted in our Constitution
for the benefit of the people and not
individual profits, inasmuch as they
were the selected representatives OF the
people. They are expected to enact
such wise laws as should tend to for
ward the progress and happiness of all
the people. In our first American leg
islature and congressional assemblage,
we had no lobbyists to bribe for individ-
ual gain; we had no trust kings to
purchase the honor and manhood of
our representatives, for in those days
Columbia bred men to a higher
standard than we reach today.
AS for those who represent the
American people today in our costly
assembly halls, simply take a review of
the laws and acts that are passed by
this body and mark out those acts that
benefit the people, and compare with
the acts that are passed for the indi-
vidual or trust. Christ says: "By
their acts ye shall judge them.'
Let one honest representative of the
people stand up for honor and desires
of the people and ten will rise up and
jeer him, and some trust bound traitor
will yell, ".ro hell with the people," as

Not SO with the Onwo. We had no
more than cleared her when her stern
rose high in the air and with one sick

down with her all but four of her
officers, the Captain himself being one
of the unfortunates.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the Captain of the Newchwang

accounted for our not hearing a reply.

through the efforts of the owners he

Paper Read Before the Chuutauqua Circle
From Landmarks point of view the
life of sailor is not to be envied, he
takes it for granted that it is made up
of danger, hairlreadth escapes. ILL
treatment, and to be candid, it must be
admitted that the majority of news
papers and especially those aspiring to
yellow journalism. bear him out in
this impression. Many who would
otherwise avail themselves Of the op.
portunity Of visiting the old home
once more, before leaving this vale of
tears for that long journey to the bet
ter land, will naturally hesitate at the
idea of run across the pond. Visions
of typhoOns, monsoons. hurricanes and
fires, all leading to the same end,
namely, the inevitable shipwreck
where the weak are trampled upon to
make room for the strong.
TO some the above may seem absurd,
and yet the fact remains that there are
many today who could no more be per-
Suaded to trust themselves to the ten
der mercies of old Neptune than they
would to Malay pirate.
Now a seafaring man takes an al
together different view of the situa-
ton. He takes, as matter of course,
the attending dangers which, by the
way, are greatly exaggerated, and
should he be so unfortunate as to
undergo 'shipwreck he promptly makes
the most of his situation.
Wrecks are not as common as is
supposed, and when they do occur the
court of inquiry will, in the majority
of cases, Prove conclusively that care
lessness and negligence were at the
bottom of them.
To prove the truth of my assertion |
will relate to you an experience, the
only one in nearly ten years spent in
following the sea, which happened to
me in the spring of '96, at the mouth
of the Yangtse Kiang River Our ship
the Yorktown was then at Hankow
abont 700 miles up the Yang tse- Kiang
River We had. unfortunately for our
selves, been left at Chefoo when the
ship received orders to proceed to
Hankow and had reached Shanghai by
way of Ningo on board the Petrel AS
Our orders were to rejoin our ship, we
Immediately on arriving at Shanghai
took passage on board the Onwo. one
OF the numerous sidewkeel steamers
then trading up the Yang tse- Kiang.
My companion, White, was in favor Of
our waiting until the sailing of the
regular passenger steamer, which
would not be until the following morn
ing, but finally overcame his scruples
and eleven O'Clock that evening found
us bound down the river on our way to
one of the dirtiest cities in China.
The crew of the Onwo consisted of a
captain, two mates, a bOatswain and
two quartermasters, all of whom with
the exception of the second mate, who
was Japanese, were Dutchmen; in
addition to these she carried dozen
coolie deckhands and about one hun.

fact 10, the bicycle is getting to be more

not take as many rides Of evenings for
