On the 9th of July your writer's
faithful and loved wife passed way.
She had been troubled with asthma
since having the grip last February,
but was not bed-fast. On Sunday she
told friends she IA feeling much bet
ter, but on rising on Monday morning
she was taken with a coughing and
choking spell, the heart failed to act,
and she quickly, but quietly died in
her husbands arms. We buried her
at Winchester, with two of her children,
and near her parents and grandparents.
She was 81 years of age, the mother Of
six children, and had 1 grand
children at the date of her death.

We are using our army and navy to
promote a big land speculation; and
religion, civilization and freedom are
being made a pretext for rapine and

Many Of our citizens, who will never

SAYS the Terrible Teddy: ''Our OPP
ponents now say hat they wish to give
them (the Fiilipinos) Independence.
To give independence now would be
precisely like giving independence to
the widest tribe Of Apaches in Ari-

$2O, 600, 900 to have attached to the
body polite such a bloody boil ?
Either the McHanna administration is
made up Of damphools or the Terrible

WHAT bloodthirsty monsters are the

WHAT bloodthirsty monsters are the
foreign newsgatherers! A week or
two ago they murdered all foreigners In
China; they had the Celestials to slice
the Christians into thin strips and then
feed the strips to the expectans dogs;
they caused Gen. So-and-So to shoot
his wounded to prevent their being
left behind, captured and tortured.
And so on, Gd Eibitum. There is one
advantage that attaches to this sort of
'.news:" the papers can fill up to-mor-
row with specific denial OF the tales
they print to-day, and 1t all goes in
the way OF business. 1t would mean
death to confne the average daily to
the truth, and rather th an that a thous-
and lives may well be sacrificed and
the story told 10 stud-horse headings.

Such men were at the head of the tor

A SPECIAL from Washington, dated
July 81, says that the government
mails and the time and labor of gov
ernment employees are being used to
circulate campaign documents in the
interest of England and against the
Boer republic. President Harris OF
the national bureau OF education de-
partment under the control and super
vision of Secretary of the Interior
Ethan Allen Hitchcock-has been bust
ly engaged for some time secretly cir
culating pamphlets and bulletins of
English literature stating the English
cas- against the Boer republic in South
Africa. These pamphlets and bulle-
tins are issued by the Imperial South
African association, No. 66 Victoria
street, Westminster, S. w. London.
The list of English imperial litera-
ture thus sent out includes:
First-''The British Case Against
me seer hepuOllc."
Second-s'Letter to Senator Hoar on
the Transvaal War by John Bellows"
Third-"Boers and Blacks"
Fourth - 1.-The Treatment of the
English by the Beers Government"
Fifth-''The Witness of the Church"
Sixth-''The Future of South Afri-
ca"
This literature has been sent out by
Prof. Harris, an officer of the federal
Government whose bureau is supposed
to be under the watchful care of Secre-
tary Hitchcock, and he has used the
official government list of public school
teachers in the endeavor to dissent
nate it through the country. Every
teacher in the public schools in the
middle west and other states consid-
cred doubtful politically will shortly
receive a bundle from the national
bureau of education containing n
copy of each of the six publications
noted. Chairman Richardson of the
democratic national committee has is
sued a statement covering the matter
and relating 10 detail how it was dis
covered. So secretly had the work
been carried on that it was not dis
covered until last Saturday. o, no!
there's no secret alliance between Eng
land and McHanna! Only Copper
heads could believe such q thing for a
moment.

Never before have we had a better
promise for our principal crop, corn,
than now. 1t is caring out under the
influence OF copious rains but at a stage
very critical in a 8 of heavy winds.
Our soil softens so with heavy rain
that the stalks are easily thrown over,
and il grows larger for this reason
that the lister is taking the place of
the pillow and planter, as it gives the
corn a deeper root. Oats too, r a

a comparative failure, and has been
for four years together, so that rye has
largely taken its place; but this crop
is said to be ~threshing out poorly.
Fruit in the way of apples and peaches
will be a failure too. 1t has been too
wet for grapes. Strawberries are cul-
tiVated here now and yielded heavily.
Blackberries. too, are counted q crop,
and, though set well, hot, dry weather
at the critical period spoiled the crop.
There are large peach orchards planted
in the last five years and these promise

apples trees.
There are in this comparatively new

JUSTICE BREWER OF the United States
Supreme Cortland a good Republi-
can, by the way-has the intolerable
gall to write such CUFF as this:
The Cesari saw the spears of their
victorious legions flashing in the sum
light of every known land, and in their
triumphant return they brought with
them the accumulated wealth Of all the
nations they had subdued. The splen-
dor of imperial Rome outshone the
world, but the wealth thus obtained
without value given undermined the
empire, and the glory of Rome is SIM
ply a memory. Napoleon beheld the
shining star OF destiny; and then?
Does human nature change through
the centuries? We stand to-day fac
ing the temptations which come from
the possibility of rapidly accumulated
wealth. What right have we to an
ticipate that the same result will not
follow If we pursue the same cours of
taking what we have not fully earned?''
What no, there, Teddy A traitor
is in the camp! OF with his head! /!
So much for all the buckers! Shall
this become a nation of s'weaklings''
and refuse to tread the dark and bloody
path merely because it leads to de-
struction? Forbid it, all the Gods of
Imperialism!

On the first page OF this paper is
reprinted an editorial from the Denver
Post which fully sets out the position
of the REGISTER upon the Chinese
question. So potent is truth in its un-
affected logic that in the end it carries
conviction to all, despite bigotry and
prejudice. Murder must be atoned for,
at whatever cost; but neither can in
justice be upheld by a righteous peo-
pie, no matter how 'inferior" the race
to which it is applied.

In 1866, i~ve-eighths OF the people
owned their houses and only three
eighths were the prey of lendlordism.
In 1886, only three-eighths owned their
own homes, and five-eighths were re-
duced to the rank of tenants. Since
that time the coniscation of homes by
the money power has gone on in in
creased ratio, and it cannot be a great
while before the final result will be
reached and the entire population be-
come homeless and landless.

FREDERICKTowN NeWS: 1.-The con-
gressional committee met at Bismarck
on last Saturday and levied ar addI-
tional assessment of $500 each on Mr..
Robb and his opponent for the con-
gresslonal nomination. This will
make $1,000 to defray the expenses of
holding the primary, which is consid-
cred ample. At the time the 5000 as
sessment was made by the committee
it was supposed. that there would be
five candidates in the field which would
make the $1,000, which it was esti-
mated it would take to hold the pri-
maries. When primaries were finally
decided on all but two of the five con-
didates drew off, thus necessitating an
additional assessment. The additional
assessment has been paid by both can
didates."

SAID Thomas jefferson: 81 sincerely
believe that banking establishments
are more dangerous than standing ar
mics, and that the principle Of
spending money to be paid by poster
ity, under the name of funding, is but
swindling futurity on a larger scale"
What would Jefferson say now under
the present condition of things. We
have the banks. the funded debt, and
the standing army and the government
is absolutely under the control of the
money power. Life is becoming cheap,
compared with property, and in the
worship of the God Mammon, human
liberty and human life are daily and
hourly being sacrificed upon its altar.

Ole Of tbs quaint and curious
customs observed on Easter day
is the giving Of presents of eggs.
This is doubtless the most ancient
and universal Of Easter ceremo~
MES. Eggs have always been as
soclated with Easter. The Jews
believes them emblematic of the
passover, while the Egyptians
held thom as an emblem of the re-
newal Of the human race after the
deIuge and the Cbrist-as symbols
lcai of the Resurrection. History
tells US that in ancient times eggs
we're boiled hard and dyed just as
they are to day, and even the
clergy and laymen alike would
have great sport playing ball with
them, finally eating them. No
doubt this custom came from the
~fatherland, where, according to a
pretty and interesting legend, the
first Easter feast for children orig
mated; and whence also came the
belief that the hares laid the
brightly-colored Easter egg.
AS a time for the presentation
of gifts to loved ones Easter is
second only to Christmas, and of
ali Easter gifts, flowers are the
most appropriate. In spite of the
late spring there will be a profu-
sion of flowers in the churches to-
morrow and the exquisite Easter
lily will beautify many a home.
The day will be made glad and
glorious with jubllant sacred mu-
sic. with eloquent words concern
ing the Resurrection whereof we
may all be partakers and with the
blossoms which are natures tests
mony that life is stronger than
death and will finally be Veto
riOus over it.
