LINCOLN'S PLAIN WORDS

Just as The Herald predicted, the
local organ of Imperialism could not
allow Lfncoln's plain words TO go with
out a half column Of explanation to
show that the great emancipation didn't
know what he was talking about.
Freedom is below par in these days
Of capitalisiJic Imperialism and every
dog of Caesar bays when the imperatOr
waves his scDeUe.
Lincoln said: mo man is good
enough to govern another man without
that others consenc- I say this is the
leading principle, the sheet-anchor Of
American republicanism."
This is surely clear enough and plain
enough, and republican enough for any
American to understand. Yet the local
Hanna organ insists that Lincoln made
a mental reservation in favor of Nc
Kinley. Who believes it?
Lincoln said again: Our reliance IS
in the love Of liberty which God has
planted in US. Our defense is in the
spirit which prizes liberty as the herit-
age of all men in all lands, everywhere.
Those who deny freedom to others de-
serve if not for themselves. and under
a Just God cannot long retain it"
Isn't that an American sentiment?
Isn't that what American statesmen
have always taught until Hanna
founded the new school? Yet the To-
cal. Republican organ seeks to diseredit
it and make out that Lincoln was in
consistent when he uttered those pa
triotic sentiments. To what depths viii
not Imperialism descend TO deceive and
mislead the people?
Imperialists declare that the rule of
William Mckinley viii be better for
the FiIipInos than a government Of
their own. There is no doubt of this.
But. as the HOngkOng Mail. an Eng
/ lish newspaper, says:
The United States government will be
I better for the islanders than any govern
ment of their own. but il will never sat
/ isfy them because it is not their govern
ment. American ways are not their ways
American ideals are not their ideals. anC
/ the United states will be compelled to rue
I them by force ard without the consent
/ OF the governed
We favor the restoration Of order in
/ the Philippines. Every Democrat in
aitts upon more rigorous measures "a
/ this end than a weak and vacillating
administration has deemed il advisable
/ to adopt. But the infection Of a per-
manent carpet-bag government, how
| ever benehcent and admirable from ori
point of view. may fan short Of meet
/ ing requirements in the Philippines.
( And right here it is we'll TO bear in
ufni another sentiment expressed by
! Lincoln:
! KINGS always bestrode the necks Of th'
/ peoDIe not that they wanted to do IT, bu
/ because the people were better on Tor Do
/ ing ridden.
OF course. we realize tdat any one
who refers TO our William the Con.
queror as a king is guilty Of lese ma
jeste and has probably given aid and
announcement to the enemy, WHOSE
backbone is also broken, but we have
seen him referred to as "a puppet OF
thieves and imbeciles." whose patriot
ism is represented by the dollar
mark"

HAMMoND's QUALIFICATIONS.

II has JUS, leaked out that the Re
publican party Of Utah has pretty gen
orally decided ON Hammond as its best
available candidate for congress for the
reason that he is a fairly good Splinter
and has no superdupus flesh or whisk-
ers TO handicap his heetness Of foot.
This isn't because the congressional
race is 20 be a test of speed or wind
altogether but Tor a more important
reason so far as the local Republican
party is concerned.
He viii have TO be eternally vigilant
and quick as a deer. There is no know
ing what time some one is going 10 APP
prOach and ask an expression of his
views ON the silver question.
What the situation seems to require
is a rapid-fre goldbug orator Eeared
and mounted like d disappearing gun.

Luce Bested His Superior.
philadelphia Post.D


Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce. L. S. n.
retired, has always been noted for his
ready Wit. and a great many stories are
told among naval men Of his bright say
ings. But Of all of them. perhaps the fol-
lowing best Illustrates his quick repartee:
When Admiral Luce was a young man,
an ensign or a Heutenant-it matters not
here-it SO happened one summer that
his ship for some days lay at anchor off
well known seashOre resort. OF course
the officers, young and old, were much fe-
ted. and were often ashore One night.
after soma function or other. a party Of
Young officers. among whom was Mr.
Luce. set out for the ship and. leaving
the boat clambered up the gaDgWdy. MI
Luce in the lead. The officer OF the deck,
hearing so much noise of mirth, met them
with a severe glance as they stepped on
deck. He looked them over one by one,
and then turning to Mr.. Luce, VINO was
the life OF the party, said:
Mr.. Luce, / am surprised; you are
tight. sir!''
Quick as a fash came the answer:
why. sir. l do not know what Won
mean, sir. If Stephen B. Luce, how can
ne be tight, sir?''
A ready answer turneth away wrath
The officer Of the deck walked away
laughing.

for indignities received froM Ter maj
esty's subjects.
Bah! If the Tories had been in con-
troll of the colonies in 1776 as they are
in control of the republic now there
would have been abject submission to
that superior civilization and expert
ence in government" they prate about;
had they reached the ascendency in 1872
English insolence would not have been
resented or rebuked.
It is disgusting TO hear and see the
toadies fawning at the feet of Cham
berlain, lauding his policy Of territorial
aggression, and assailing an American
citizen who stood upon his rights as
such, ana, in his pride Of country, ap-
parently forgetting the lines into
which it has fallen Of late.
Politically Macrum may be an ass
Tor no man can believe in or defend
the history, traditions and long cher
ished mission of this government and
expect anything but the contempt and
cOntumely of the Tories temporarily
in power

After a week of walking I'D and down

Then he went from house to house.
Eff you please, suh,' he began, when
his ring at the front door was answered,
cant you give POI cullud man work

And the polite answer invariably was;
NO. mister---very sorry, but have Moth
ing for you.
Every one who answered his ring ad-
dressed him as Mr., but shut their doors
and hearts against him.
Finally he rang the bell of a brown
stone front.
A gentleman appeared, and the old man
Boss. I is starvin'. Can't you gimme
