LIBERTY MUST TRIUMPH.

Every victory won by England in this assault
upon liberty into which greedy millionaires have
dragged her will in the long run be defeat.
Though she may crush the little army of the
Beers and deprive tho survivors of the right to
govern themselves, yet will she be the loser for
the spirit of liberty must triumph in the end.
1t is far more likely that great republic will
possess South Africa than that it will remain
long under British rule. Crimes such as Eng
land is now committing do not go unavenged.
nation capable of an atrocity so base as the
war upon the Beers tor the theft of their gold
mines, fills with repulsion all men who can
think and feel, and that repulsion will be GER
tain to find retributive expression in South
Africa.

President Ripley and |.

President Ripley, of the Santa Fe railroad
wants one of three things, viz: Turn the rail-
roads loose, protect them, or let the government
buy them. This from the Railway Age. In
answer, I would say that the roads are already
loose-so loose that they runov all obstacles.
AS to protection, think dry spell is needed.
The roads are floating in pig pen muck. The
government don It want them at present. prices
The government can build new roads at half the
cost. l suggest absolute control by the govern
ment, and no "razooing" in the court; no divi-
dends on water; no discrimination; and when
the millennium comes, and we have honest men
in politics, then government ownership.

BRITAIN'S FRIENDLY.

If the censor of Great Britain at Durham un
dertakes, as that government says he may, to
pass on and Withhold cables sent to represent
atives of the different nations at Pretoria, he
can easily knock in the head deal of good
feeling existing between Uncle Sam and John
Bull. We should not submit to it for moment, !,
let other nations do as they will 1t is not to be
assumed by the government of Great Britain
that our officials will be used to bear messages
to the Beers or in any way to disturb our neut-
raj position. If such an assumption is made bv
refusing to forward official kilograms from or to
the state department at Washington it should
be against our protest, made in terms that admit
of no misunderstanding. A more unfriendly
act could hardly be conceived where provocation
is wholly lacking. Journal.
The above statemest is all nonsense. 1t is
contradcted by every fact in evidence. This
administration will submit to anything the
John Bull wishes to impose. If it allowed thu
official letters of the government to be read b
the British censor, and removed and degrad Il
an American consul who complained of the OH
rage, what reason is there to presume that
will act differently when our official telegrar>
are censored ?-Noncontormist

ANOTHER "WOBBLE Err"

Schurman, president of the first Phil ppine
commission seems to be man after Mckinley s
own heart--that is, he is "wabbler." He
stands by the president and upholds his Philip
pine policy. He has not always done so, how
ever. On the goth ofIAugust, 1898, he wrote
to the New York World as follows:
MThis republic, whose soul is self-g government,
does not want Asiatic dependencies or the mill
tary despotism they would entail. The proxim-
ity of Cuba made its misgoverment our affair.
But we are not called upon to rectify the tyran-
MES of Africa or Asia. Nor are we under
any obligation to Aguinaldo and the insur-
GEMS. Let us stick to our cwn hemisphere,
seeking only naval stations in the Old World

Some Difference.

Lincoln declares that no man was good
enough to govern another man. Hanna thinks
HE is good enough to govern the United States
and the Philippines, through the president.
Sumner declared that "Politics is the appi-
cation of moral principles to public affairs"
Hanna and the crew he leads practice the doc
trine that politics is the rule of the few to the
ruin OF the many.
Lincoln and Sumner were the greatest men
of eary-day. Republicauism, and if they were
Republicans, there are no Republicans now.
Latter-day Republicans have no morals in po-
litical affairs, and assume, with brazen effront-
cry, that the trusts ought to rule the people.

Wall Street Influence.

The National Tribune, the soldiers paper,
has its back up like Kilkenny cat, aud declar-
es, in substance, that the money power of Wall
street controls the administration. This is no
news to some people, but it is little strange
when we consider that the Tribune advised the
old soldiers to vote for "Comrade Mckinley"
1t will be called that the old soldiers have been
after II. Clay Evans for his evident intention to
keep soldiers out of all the pension money pos
sible. Evans unfair treatment OF soldiers led
to investigation, and when the cussedness was
hunted down, it was found that "Comrade Nc
Kinley" was backing Evans. Evans spent
$4oo, o,ooo last year, hunting frauds, and found
only I73 cases.

Decline of Churches.

There is good deal of talk nowadays about
the masses leaving the church, and one preach
er has gone so far as to say that the pulpit is
losing its influence. 1t is safe to say that there
is screw loose somewhere. Either the masses
are leaving the church, or the churches are
leaving the masses. There is very visible
parting of company. The Bible, as whole, is
losing its grip because a great many people are
refusing to believe that all of the Book is in
spired. This unbelief leaves a great many
people of the church who believe in the gospel
as taught by Jesus. Another reason for the
parting of company is the fact that so many
churchmen are not practical Christians.
man may be churchgoer, and be In good
standing, who never practices Christ's teach
ing Americans hate hypocrisy.
Also, churches are clannish The church
people may be unconscious of their attitude, but
it is noticeable fact that Methodist prefers
Methodist, Presbyterian prefers Presbyter-
iau-Catholic Catholic. Outsiders can see no
difference TO them, Christian is Christian,
no matter what denomination, and they are
quick to note shortcomings; also, quick to note
the manifestations of the real spirit of Christ.
l can find scores of men who, like Lincoln,
would Join church whose only creed would be
to love God and Glove thy neighbor as thyself.'
should say that modern commercialism has
invaded the church; and where modern COM
,nercialism exists, the spirit of Christ cannot ex-
,st. The spirit of throttling your neighbor tor
gain and the spirit OF Christ are irreconcilable
enemies.
Wherever the trouble is. the fault is not with
the real gospel as taught by Jesus

AGREEMENT ADVANTAGEOUS To THE
GOVERNMENT REACHED.
ley TELEGRAPH To TIE rEnrNE-I


WASHINGTON. Nov. IA net saving Of
So 900 O00 to the Government in $20,OO0,O0O
arnor contract agreed upon to-day is the graft
fvine result Of the tedious negotat tiOns that have
been carried through by Secretary Long and the
Carnegie and Bethlehem Steel companies The
two great armcr plants have made certain con-
cessions TO the Government in the matter OF
prices. and the Navy Department in turn has
found il possible to dispense with several thou
sand tons about five thousand of the most ex-
pensive ar1nor. substituting therefor about the
same amount Of lower quality This found
practicable without materially reducing the I'M
pregna bty of the ships for whose protection
the armor is required Under the contract to
be signed tomorrow the Government will incur
obligations as follows. divided equally between
the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies:
Glass A-Kruppized lover five inches thickO.
24.95O tons at $500 - ton. making S1134422 224
Glass R.-Harveyized (under six inches thick)
10 $50 tons at Sill 20 ton. making $4.2l6,S0o-
Glass C.-Not hardened. 1910 tons at $400 a
ton making $S44.000-
Total $I6,4O5, ,024.
For purposes of comparison il is interesting
and instructive TO note that the combined bids
submitted for this arnor on August 10 last were
as follows:
Glass A.-Kruppized five inches and oveD
10000 tons at $40 a ton making $156O0OOo
tons at S411 20 a ton, making S3.12312O
Glass C-Not hardened. 23OO tons at 800
ton making S920.O0o
Bolts and nuts 200 tons at S4OO ton. max
ing $4S0OOO.
Total $50 125. 12O
The apparent difference OF nearly $4OOOOO0
between the new contract and the bids Is re-
duced by the omission OF the S4S0.OOO item for
bolts and nuts for fastening the plates TO the
hulIs Instead of paying for these at the rate OF
500 ton now. when they will not be needed for
at least another year, the Navy Department
will probably be able to purchase them with
out difficulty in the open market at any time
for less than $500 ton.
In the new contract the Government has the
advantage Of certain legal contingencies. which.
IT is barely possible. may result in an addi-
tional saving Of about 100000, This depends
upon the outcome OF suits trial testing
the validity of the Harvey patents. If the pat
ents set aside the Navy Department will be
relieved from paying S11 20 on every ton OF
Harveyzed and Kruppized armor it buys the

DETERY'.S FAME SPREADS.
TESTIMONY BEFORE INDUSTRIAL COM
MISSION ON POLICE CONSPIRACY
AND PROTECTION OF VICE.

Washington. Nov. 15.-Dr. David Blaustein
Superintendent OF the Educational Alliance of
New-York gave some sensational testimony
before the Industrial Commission to-day.
DR. BIaustein took up the question of i'm
morality among the people of the East Side of
New-York and said that in the last few years
immortality had secured a hold in the tenement
houses of New-York never before known; that
children are used as agents for women, and
that il Is impossible to suppress the practices
because of corruption in the police force of
New-York.
The witness said in reply TO questions that
the police levy tribute upon the persons en-
gagged in the immoral practices; that this levy
system extends to the whole police force. and
that the saloon keepers generally are employed
as Intermediates in this system.
why do you go to the Chief of Polce?'
he asked.
We have gone" the reply. He. too. is
in the conspiracy"
DR.. Baustein said the residents were
greatly impressed by this dereliction on the
part OF the police force. and that it was having
its effect in causing them to form unfavorable
opinions of our Government.
Speaking OF the sweatshops DR.. Blaustetn
said that many Jews were driven to them be-
cause this system allows them to observe their
Sabbath, when the factories do not The Jew
ish immigrant Is very punctilious on this point
as a rule he said. He suggested that immi-
grants should be kept under close Government
inspection for a few years after landing, and
that there should be more general distribution
of them than is now the case.

The elder Griswod and Mr.. Strong were init

was a guest at the Griswold home Fifteenth
and Spruce SITS. After the elder Griswold's death
sums Of money were placed with Mr.. Strong TO
invest for Elizabeth Griswold. Frank Griswold
and Jane T. Griswold. The claim is now for
S162075 1t appears that the interest on the
investments was not collected, but was rein
vested by MIR. Strong. Since the death of MI
Strong the Griswolds have brought the suit so
that the money of the firm to the amount named
b. them shall not be divided without their re-
ceiving a share There seems to be no doubt
that the Griswold securities are intact. but that
they have not been found, a least not turned
