THE SWORD
Snatched From the Hand of Spain
nnd Welded by America.

snatched From the Hand of Spain
and Welded by America.
At the Jefferson Day banquet of the
Democratic club, Brooklyn, letter Of
regret from Ex-Governor Boies, Of
Iowa, was read, as follows:
II am sorry 1t is impossible for me
to attend the Jefferson banquet.
1.-THE war with Spain was a reafflrm-
ance of the principle underlying our
own form of government, that found
expression in loyal declaration by a
united people that Cuba should Of
right be free. No nation on earth ever
championed a nobler cause.
THE end came. The grip Of tyrant
had been broken. Spain was at our
feet, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines at our disposal. 1t needed but a
simple demand from us to make them
forever free. But here we halted A
word that would have made the name
of America immortal was never spoken.
Greed took the place OF charity and
usurped the throne of justice. We
wanted an excuse for exploiting the
Philippines, and made a voluntary do
nation of $20,0OO,00O of gold to Spain
to find 1t. What followed? | wish to
God we could blot from the annals of
our race this page Of American history,
as 1t mus, be written and go shame
faced, as 1t will, through all the ages
to come.
THE truth is, we have simply chang
ed places with Spain and snatched
from her palsled nand the sword she
could no longer WELD and turned it
against a race she had become power
less further to oppress.
Look at the little island OF Porto
Rico, that welcomed us as deliverers
from an oppressor's hand What do
we find? A people denied the most
valuable privileges they enjoyed under
despotism that furnished our only
excuse for war; a race of vassals with
out right we are bound to respect
foreigners, in fact, who cannot enter
our gates without paying tribute on the
products of their toll or take unincum-
bered from our hands that which their
needs require-yet our subjects in
name, over whom the American flag
Is to float forever, to be ruled as our
lordly will may determine.
with unseemly haste Republican
congress and a Republican president
struck from the statutes of their coun-
try tariff tax framed for revenue,
the only purpose for which taxes can
rightly be laid, and built In its place a
huge wall in front OF every port OF the
nation In the shadows of which an in
famous brood of life sucking trusts
have been nursed, until there is scarce
ly a manufactured necessity of life the
market price Of which to American
consumers is not fixed by the greed of
some giant corporation. We are at
the threshold Of another national cam
paign. The issues upon which It Is
to be fought will be made by the Dem
ocratic party. What shall they be?
Anti-imperialism, anti-monopoly and
death to trusts"

Murder Goes Unavenged.

In few months horde OF Office
seekers from various parts Of Luzerne
county will swoop down upon the
CLOVER ond," and loudly proclaim what
they will do for the people OF this be-
nighted territory il we will only elect
them to office. Such it has been in the
past, and from that the future is to be
judged. Year after year the lower end
voters have responded to these appeals,
casting their ballots for this man or
that, yet how completely are our needs
forsaken, even desplsed, when the
victor takes his seat.
Murder in broad daylight, with a
hundred clues to work upon, goes un-
punished; not even reward being Of
fered for the apprehension of the Grim
inals. So far as protection is given to
life and property by Luzerne county,
lower end people might as well reside in
Philadelphia or Chicago, as the Modena
case and its many predecessors clearly
prove.

several swagger suppers at the Lin.
dell Hotel. Mr.. Baker was among the
guests.
Last fall Miss Wilkins made an
other trip to the city, and renewed
her former acquaintance list. Among
the most devoted of her admirers was
Mr.. Baker. The same round Of late
suppers, theatre parties and princely
pleasure spoke eloquently of the horse
queens splendor in her far Western
home.
On more than one occasion when
an overconfdent young man presumed
upon Miss wilkins wild Western
freedom Of spirit, he was checked by
the glitter Of her clear gray eyes and
the scorn Of her curling scarlet lips,
or, IL needed, by the iron grip Of her
fist clinched tightly about the inevita-
BILE riding whip poised above her
shapely head.
None Of Bakers friends was taken
into his confidence until after the dis
solving Of the partnership Of Best C
Baker.
Baker then announced that he
would return with his bride in about
four months, when they would bring
large consignment of horses. He
promised several of his friends, who
were Miss wilkins erstwhile guests
in st. Louis, that they should have
the pick Of the lot.
Miss Wilkins, besides being a fear
less rider and expert caster of the
lasso, and quick brander, Is a dead
shot with rife and pistol. She is a
goddess OF the saddle, superb type
OF womanhood, with muscles trained
from outdoor life since early child
hood.
She Is decidedly manly In her ap-
pearance. affecting vests, collars and
four-in-hands and mannish topcoats.
The most striking point Of her statu-
esque ensemble Is broad sombrero,
which she wears jauntily upon mass
of hair like Furnished bronze.
While In st. Louis she gave several
exhibitions of her skill in the saddle
and In throwing the lariat. Those
who were privileged to see her as she
appears upon the rolling landscape of
her own broad acres went into ecs-
tacies over the poetry of motion in
her swing of the coiling lasso and the
grace of her mount
In all things Miss Wilkins proved
herself very much Of woman while
there but one who was always ready
and able to protect herself without a
chaperon. Much has been written In
the East and on the Pacific coast
about her wealth, which conservative
estimates place at nearly 81 100000.

Senators by Popular Vote.

From the Wilkesbarre Record.
As was to be expected, the senate
committee on privileges and elections
has reported adversely on the house
resolution providing for the election OF
United States senators by popular vote.
1t has never been difficult to secure the
passage of such resolutions by the
house, but it is doubtful il the move
ment has any more supporters in the
senate now than in the past.
The senator's, or at least large
majority Of them, are well satisfied with
the present system. Many OF them
reason, and with good cause, that If
their retention in the senate depended
on the direct vote of the people they
might as well pack up their traps and
prepare to move when their present
term expires.
With plenty Of money and federal pat
ronage at their command they can
continue to control legislative caucuses,
but money and patronage would avail
little when brought to bear directly up
on the scores or hundreds of thousands
OF voters.
There are probably net half dozen
states in the union where the people
would not vote overwhelmingly in IA
vor OF the election OF senators by popu-
lar vote, If the opportunity were pre-
sented, but that fact counts for less
than nothing in the United States senate.
The change will not come in many
years, II it ever does. 1t cannot be
effected without the assent OF the
senate and that body will not give its
assent. The senators will not even per-
init the question to come up in the
senate in such a way as to compel them
to 60 upon the record on the question.
The people may as well make up their
minds that for years to come millionaire
politicians and representatives Of cor
porations and trusts will continue to
secure seats in the United States senate
by the same corrupt methods and de-
banching of legislatures that has pre-
vailed in the past.
Worse than has ever been known in
the past will doubtless be developed in
the future. The people must grin and
bear IL.

Immediate Action Necessary

The main door of that portion of the
borough building planned for the keep
ing of the fire apparatus is the subject
OF considerable comment. 1t is claimed
that its heighth is from eighteen inches
to two feet less than is necessary to
make flying exit" from the building
with team of horses and a steamer,
which, it is reasonable to suppose, will
some day be part of the fire-fghting
equipment of the town.
The door is built in arch form, which
lessons its utility and adds nothing to
its appearance, 1t is not likely that
the contractor is in any way to blame
for what is apparently an error. He is
following the instructions and plans as
laid down by the architect, but il the
matter is taken hold of now, before the
brick work extends further upward,
satisfactory agreement to alter the
dimensions OF the door can probably be
made.
The adverse comments heard are from
people who have had experience in such
matters, and are worthy of the atten-
tion of council this evening. To make
a change, II one is necessary, at a later
day will cost much moro than at present.

THE MASTER OF VIBRATION
Work and Ways of A Most
Peculiar Man.
HE EARNS A BIG INCOME
The Golden Profession of Great Am"
Gathering in Coin in a Rocky
Mountain City-He Claims to Do
Miracles and Has Many Patrons.

The Rev" Thomas ]. Shelton, the
Great l Am" the Christian Healer"
and master of Vibration" has turned
up In Denver. Colorado, and is earning
money at his trade.
He had not ben heard from since
he left Little Rock, Ark, several years
ago. Now, as confident and buoyant
as ever, says the New York World, he
is gathering in the coin in the Rocky
Mountain city.
In 1887 Shelton appeared in Little
Rock, Ark, as a Christian minister.
His church was a ramshackle shed
and the congregation few in numbers.
He started revival on remarkable
lines, and inside Of a year had fine
stone edifice and fashionable build
ing. Then dissention arose. 1t was
said he drank.
II do" he acknowledged calmly. 81
am dipsomaniac. l can't help it."
Instead Of losing his pulpit, the eld-
ers placed a jug in the vestry of the
church. where he could take drink
before and after services. One day he
appeared in the pulpit incoherent.
That split up the church, but many
stuck to him. Then once he acknowl-
edged in sermon that he loved an
other mans wife. Such was his in
dividuality that he was forgiven. At
ter that he started his vibration"
scheme and began to publish The
Christian.
Shelton's theory, as he claims, is:
That from his ego, or inner self, for
the small sum of 81, he will send out
vibration for you that will enable you
to do anything-make a hit in Wall
street, cure any disease, cure a dog
make hens lay, or do anything else
imaginable. Incidentally, he makes
about $50,00O year out of his trades.
AS he expresses it: God Is a uni
versal principle. | am the person of
that principle. Each individual is the
person Of the individual principle, and
his power consists in the recognition
Of his personality. AS long as you be-
lieve God is person outside Of your
self you are dependent on this other
person. When you recognize that you
are the person Of this individual you
become independent. The I Am Is
the personal name of the Diety. The
God, the universal principle, Is not
