IMPRESSION MADE BY COUGH.

MANY and many day ago. on the
then frontier line of the valley of the
Minnesota, In the at that time beautiful
village of Mankato, word went out that
Cough had been engaged by the local
lyceum bureau to lecture on ienpe-a ace.
Cough came. He was received by a
committee of men, who had fought In
dians and 'secesh,'' swami rivers, spoiled
the virgin forests, opened neG sci, en-
dured poverty, suffered HUNGER and
never surrendered thsir belief in the
right. They escorted him to the olera
house and stage.
Hts speech was sloy at first, gestures
few, illustrations NOS many. The VII.
lage topers were out In force, and some
more decent men for whom women were
praying to give over the habit of drink.
He told something of his own life, of
the misery brought by drink, of the
laws of self-denlal and self-sacrifice. He
was intense at all times. and this inten-
sity bore down upon, the listeners until
he had made them one with himself.
Even the small village boy inclined to cat
calls and gurgling whistles was silent.
and there came through the sspuichral
hall no sound but the raw c1y Of the
winter wind FROM outside.
He made some.slfgift comment On the
condition Of dfunkard's fantty-the
of self-respect. 1I1e described Tie deg
radiation of spirit which rested with
the habitual drinkers and how if that
spirit was not destroyed mere signing
of the pledge would 9not redeem. He
pleaded for exercise of viii power. 1nore

was but developing 1.-The minds, of bis

Suddenly he swung one arm high In
the air and shouted
"A drunkard and his fall to the depths

He is on the very summit of the great

A recent interview with President Nc
Kinley seems to indicate a disposition on
his part to seek cover from the attacks
of the champions of our infant industries.
His declaration in favor of free trade
/. with Puerto Rico had received the ap,
proval Of the masses of the people Of the
two countries. Whatever favor be gained
on account of it from his own country,
men is not unlikely to be lost to him In
the immediate future if, as his recent ut
terances indicate, he is to prove unWill.

free trade recommendation.
President Mckinley takes his stand

Ing to undo in a single instance the I'm
deniable wrong which is involved in the
extension of protectionism to the trade of
the island. If he Is reported correctly, he
Is in favor of free trade, not because 1t
is right, but because the trade of the ISL

means an extension of national charity

1t indorses the imperiafist doctrine that
the colonies have no rights which the
mother country" is bound to respect. Ac~
cording to him, we may rob and STAY
their inhabitants at will; deprive them
of trial by jury, of free speech, Of the
right of public assemblage and statement
of grievances, and make them the VIC
tins Of sheer militarism-the constitution
of the United States affords them no pro-
lection whatever.
Every American who thinks must stand
aghast at such doctrine. What is true of
Puerto Rico, on this political principle.
is equally true, the president admits, of
the Philippines. And being true, where
is the American to be found who believes
in the revolution which gave him and his
fathers their freedom who will say that
the Filipinos who resist our soldiers are
not in arms at this hour against infa-
nous and brutal tyranny?
Protectienism of the kind which is thus
invoked against Puerto Ricans was the
very corner stone of the political and So
cial system against which Americans
rose in arms Great Britain told her
American colonies, as we tell Puerto
Rico, that the mother country" would
impose what taxes it pleased and the
colonists had no option but to submit. II

Pay for Smaller Coal.

An important opinion OF interest to
all coal land owners was made last week
by Judge Woodward in the case of the
heirs Of the late ex-Governer Henry NJ.
Hoyt against the Kingston Coal Com
pany. The pla intiffs desire an account
ing for coal smaller than that which
passes over a tive-eighths screen, and
the company sold. The coal land
was leased by the company in 1867, and
in 1883 the company began selling coal
which hitherto had not been considered
marketable. 1t was the coal which
fell through the meshes of tive-eighths
screen.
Judge Woodward says. after discus
sing the case at length, that the plain
tiffs have q right to an accounting for
the smaller sizes of coal sold since 1883
and screened under the new methods
then employed, but as these methods
have resulted in saving Ebony" coal
that would otherwise be lost, the ac-
counting should make allowances for
this, and also for coal consumed under
the boilers which was not marketed or
removed from the premises. Mine In
spector G. M. Williams is appointed
examiner and assessor in the case.

This famous play will be the attrac-

and will be presented by powerful
company with all its complete scenic
effects. The plot of this stirring play
is laid in India during the campaign OF
1S70-s0, aud the title is derived from
the fact that the interest revolves about
the Eleventh regiment, British Hussars,
who are called "The Cherry Pickers. y
The story is a strong one, modelled out
OF military expressions. Colonel Brough,
married man, forces his attention on
an Afghan woman, who loves John
Nazare, an aid-de-camp. Nazare quar-
rels with Brough, and is sentenced to
twenty years. He escapes and reioins
his sweetheart. Brough learns of his
whereabouts and finds him. The
woman agrees to marry Brough to save
her lover. They are both taken prison.

what Happened to Jones. "

The tonic of all tonics, the medical
men affirm, is a good hearty laugh.
Nowhere perhaps can so much of this
invaluable aid be secured as in sitting
for two and half hours in a theatre
and witnessing the farce, "What Hap
pened to Jones'" The most sombre
misanthrope has been compelled to
yield to its persuasiveness and smile
generously, while the ordinary mortal
breaks forth into shrieks and spasms
OF hilarity. 1t is great recreation in
this work-a-day world to have such a
diversion as this play. If man who
lessons the cares of this world and in
creascs the sum total of Joy is a bene-

The supreme court has refused a
petition of appeal from the superior
court of interest to all trolley car riders.
The matter dealt with question of con-
tributive negligence. A rider on Phila-
delphia street car notified the conductor
to stop when the car has reached about
half way between Market and Chestnut
streets, where he had often got of
before. The conductor pulled the bell.
the car slowed down in it's speed, and
before it had actually stopped the rider
went to the back platform and stood with
one foot on the lower step.
The speed OF the car was then sud
denly increased, and the rider was
thrown off and injured He brought
suit to recover damages, and at the trial
in common pleas court the defense asked
the court to take the case from the Jury
on the ground that the plaintiff had
been guilty of contributory negligence.
This the court refused to do, and on
appeal the superior court sustained the
lower court.
The supreme court was then asked to
allow an appeal from the superior court,
and this request was refused.
