TWIN CRIMES OF THE CLOSING CEN
TURY.

[By George S. Boutwell,, the oldest liv-
ing governor of Massachusetts, in
New York World.l
The war on the Beers and the war on
the Filipinos have been called "the
twin crimes of the closing century,"
This characterization ignores the fact
that nations cannot commit crimes, as,
were it otherwise, the rulers of nations
might wear the brand of criminals.
The business now carried on or the
work now going on in South Africa
and in the Philippine islands, is a work
of justice first and then of benevolence,
If we accept the claims of Salisbury and
Chamberlain, in England, and of Nc
Kinley, in the United States. England
claims the right to dictate the terms
on which men shall vote in the Trans
vaal, and the United States claims the
right to decide whether anybody may
vote in the Philippines. These are
claims of supremacy. In each claim is
involved that men or communities ex-
ternal to a given territory superior to
the rights of those who occupy it, and
that neither increase in population in
the subordinate territory nor advance
ment in the intelligence of the people
will work change of rights.
If a change of rights is ever effected
it must be secured by voluntary grant
or through rebellions carried to a sue
cessful issue. Such, in the opinion of
Mckinley Salisbury and Chamberlain,
| is the character Of the contests now
going on in South Africa and in the
| Philippine islands. Until these conests
are successful on the part of the rebels
right and justice remain with England
| and the United States. Until those re-
| suits are reached the wrong -doers are
in South Africa and in the Philippine
| islands. Such is the claim that we are
called to meet.
| Beyond the view thus set forth it IL
| claimed by Mckinley, Salisbury and
| Chamberlain that the Filipinos and
| Beers are alike Indifferent to the exhibi.
tions of the spirit of benevolence thai
have ben meade by England and the
United States.
Great Britain and the United States
promise good government and the
promises are treated with contempt
The Beers and the Filipinos may de
spise good government, or they may
entertain the opinion that the highe
and better right to govern a country Il
in the people who occupy 1t and who IL
an extremity must defend 1t.
/ They may also entertain the opinion
that Great Britain and the United
States are insincere and that they hav
no respect for the virtues which the,
must exalt. The Beers are readers O
J the scriptures and they may think tha

JOURNALISM AS A CAREER.

LBy Col. Alex X. Mcclure, Veteran
Editor of the Philadelphia Times.l
American journalism today furnishes
the very best field for young men of
brains, energy and practical applica-
tion to win usefulness and success. Well
as the profession is now filled, even
to a large overflow, there Is yet, as
there always has been, and always will
be, plenty of room at the top. Nearly
or quite one-half of those who attempt
Journalism fall in the race for the
reason that they are unequal to their
undertaking. There Is not single
competent journalist today out of
employment There are many who be-
lieve themselves to be journalists, who
are seeking positions as editors, cor
respondents, reporters, &c, but no
man who possesses the ability and the
practical knowledge which are neces-
sary for a successful career is without
employment.
1 have often met accomplished
scholars-young men who had won col
legiate honors and proud of their
scholastic attainments and earnestly in
tent on turning them profitable account
who were no more useful In news
paper work than the coal HEAVIER
Journalists and ministers are too prone
to forget the first study to which they
should give constant devotion. No man
can make a successful Journalist who
does not understand that the "propel
study of mankind Is man." Journalism
must be In touch with the popular
pulse; must know the wants of the
people who are expected to be iti

ATTACKED
from the Pulpit Is President Mckinley
On Moral Grounds,
(New York world.)


n sermon preached on Sunday in the
First United Presbyterian church, in
Williamsburg, the pastor, Rev. ]. l..
Hervey attacked President Mckinley.
1T is with Sadness" he said in the
course of his sermon, that must con-
fess the disappointment that has been
felt over the failure Of the chief execu-
tive of our nation to come out clearly
upon moral questions that have been
submitted to him. Never yet have we
heard from him on the subject Of can
teen, which was submitted with the pro-
test of our christian sitizenship.
you may say that this silence is
a wise policy when he Is looking for
ward to a denomination. But let policy
go to the winds. Every man should
hew to the plumb line of righteousness;
he should stand firmly upon the plat
form of moral and religious principles
which has been established"
To World reporter who called upon
iiiiii cbI Oll DOulll OuTlH street,
in relation tothis criticism, DR.. Hervey
said:
"The president of the United States
having been active in the church the
christian people of the ma tlon expected
he would show where he stood on all
moral questions. There has been a
feeling of disappointment because he
has not expressed himself clearly on
petitions that have been sent to him
to right the matter of the canteen. It
cretainly lies within his power TO do
this, but to my knowledge no definite
expression has been given.
This is not what we would expect
from a man in his position. The argu-
ment is sometimes used against the
| church that all moral reforms originate
| outside of the ecclesiastical relations.
This is not true. The church should
show just exactly where she stands or
all these questions. AS a member OF
the church it is President McKinley's
duty, as well as that of everyone else
to testify to the truth"

SNAKE EXPERIMENTS.
Prof. Goldhorn Seeking an Antitoxfn
For Bites of Poisonous Reptiles.

Prof. Goldhorn Seeking an Antftoxfn
For Bites of Poisonous Reptiles.
Interesting experiments having for
their object the discovery Of an anti
toxin for snake bite or poison are being
conducted at the Carnegie laboratory.
connected with the Bellevue Medical
college, says the New York Herald.
The experiments have aroused great
interest among the students, but they
are being conducted with the greatest
secrecy, and it was not until the other
day that the fact that such expert
ments were being made became known
Professor Goldhorn, who has full
charge of the experiments. has procur-
ed a collection Of poisonous reptiles
venomous rattlers, a moccasin and 4
huge king snake 6 feet inches in
length. With these reptiles Professor
Goldhorn has been experimenting for
several weeks, inoculating rats. rabbits
and frogs. and has watched carefully
the effect of the venom of the snakes
on them.
The experiments are fraught with
great danger. as the animals il placed
in the cages containing the reptiles
would be Immediately killed, whereas
for the purposes of the experiments it
is necessary to keep the animals alive
so as to watch the progress of the poi
son through their veins.
Professor Goldhorn handles the small
animals himself, holding them close to
the cages. so that when the snake
strikes its prey the animal is at once
withdrawn. The effect of the poison is
then carefully watched. and if the ami
NAL dies it Is Immediately dissected
and the course of the poison traced
through its veins. Professor Gcldhorn
believes that by studying the course of
the poison and the effect of the same
poison injected into the body Of the
animal an antitoXin may be discovered
which will make the bite of snake
absolutely harmless. Professor Gold
horn refused to discuss his experiments
had not penetrated very deeply.
An English specialist in 1896 an
nounced that he had discovered an an
titoXin for snake poisoning. lie called
it antivenene and declared that by its
use he could make the deadly bite of
the cobra as harmless as the scratch OF
pin. DIR. Charles Slower Allen con-
Quoted similar experiments in the Car
negie laboratory in 1892, during the
course of which lie was bitten severely
by one of the snakes.

Mr.. Leigh has had an interview with

there is no spot in Samoa which will
be more treasured by Germany than

critic, but we always honored him, and
we feel no shame today in admitting
that much that he wrote and said may
have been well deserved. 1t is great
pleasure 10 me to have the assurance
that Mrs. Stevenson has faith in our
good intentions toward the people she
