There comes from Stroudsberg, Pa.
this dispatch;
Lightning struck the big brewery
here late on. Monday afternoon. The
damage done was not great. When IL
became known that bolt had struck
the brewery the words OF the Rev. T..
f. Dixon were at once recalled. The
pastor prayed for lightning to strike
the building. He made his remarkable
prayer some months ago. before tile
brewery was under way. He asked
that the wrath of God might be upon
the brewery"
The lightning having struck. with
little damage, the reverend gentleman
at once attributed the striking TO his
petition. and with that familiarity with
the Divine Master which all must envy
him, he thus addressed the Deity:
Now. Lord, II 1t be Thy will. let the
rest CO." Such a man as this must de-
serve one of two things, either close
confinement as lunatic or imprison-
ment. Just consider what an invalu-
able man he would be for our Illus
trious morning contemporary 10 use
against the Consolidated A clergy
man. or any other man who can in
nuence the Divine Master like this
Dixon ought not TO preach for less than
$500 a year.

The great scare IN Worcester about
one case of alleged smallpox has come
to this ridiculous ending--the girl was
a passenger on the New England: on
which there had been eleven cases OF
smallpox. When she went on board
the vessel she underwent vaccination;
and that about which the Worcester
papers have so screamed was simply
the coming out OF the vaccination.

The man who tells his own story is
always at a disadvantage when telling
to acute minds. Few men are true to
themselves. and for this reason it is
that we are ourselves so much inn
pressed by what others say about us.
The article which we here reproduce
from the New York sun. was taken
by that paper from the Moniteur Off
ciel du Commerce, an official publi-
cation of the French government which
has just reached the treasury 5Ireau IL
statistics. 1t calls attention OF those
interested In the foreign commerce of
France to the fact that American COM
merce in the Orient is making rapid
Developments. and especially so
through the foothold which it has OBJ
tanned a Manila The statement is as
follows:
The export houses OF Manila are
about resuming their business activity
and responding-to the demands for su-
gar, abaca. copra, tobacco, ETC., which
they had been unable to satisfy during
the whole of the past year.
THE import trade underwent import
ant changes by reason OF the occupa-
tlon of the Philippines by the United
states. this change by no means yet
being complete. Before acting the
business men OF the colony had to
study the new conditions under which
henceforward the Importation OF for
eign manufacturers might be carried
ON. The Philippine market received
prior to the Spanish-American war all
sorts of articles, coming from England,
Spain. FRANCE. Belgium, etc. The Uni
ted States, whose exports TO these ISL
ands had been relatively of very in
Significant Importance. have since TAX
en- an important place in the victualling
Of Manila, which place is daily growing
in importance. The business men OF
this city, after few months of obser-
walton, became convinced that in order
TO hold their own against the Ameri-
can competitor they would have to re-
pIenish part OF their stock II trade
with American goods. SO that now one
can see in all the stores OF Manila, be-
sides the foreign goods formerly i'm
ported, also number OF articles which
American manufacturers try TO intro
duce in large quantities.
The competition on the part OF
American products is bound To become
more formidable the more Americans
will become settled in tins colony, and
even now old Manila business houses
send orders 10 American manufastur-
ers. who have acquainted them with
their terms OF doing business ever since
August. 1898, either through detailed
catalogues or more often through ac-
tive and intelligent agents.

ployed. by the French commerce. par

He won't do either. He'll take to the
woods However that may be. 1t Is
evident enough that II Mr.. Bryan has q
right to frame a stable government for
the Filipinos, his platitudes about the
rights of man vanish into thin air.
rs 1T not evident enough also that
our troubles In the Philippines originate
In legacy Of hate and suspicion to-
ward all white men which the Span
iards' bloody hand has left In the hearts
of the, Fll!plnos. The native Of the Phil
ippInes knows civilized man from con-
tact with the Spaniard alone. Is 1t not
probable that within a few years the
Filipinos will bless the day they came
under American rule? They will know
us better then than now.
Democratic "Militarism."
THE Democratic party was the ram
pant advocate OF militarism during the
weeks OF excitement that preceded the
war with Spain. They insisted on war
and condemned the President In unfair
and unmeasured language for his slow
ness. The President Is deeply consc!en-
tiously opposed to wnr. He felt the re-
.sponsibillty OF power which always
brings moderation with 1t.
MOREOVER. the President foresaw and
predicted that unheard Of problems and
conditions would come upon us with
war, and this Is exactly what has taken
place. In dealing with these new con-
billions the President has displayed
craftsmanship OF n high order. and Mr..
Bryan long ago put himself out Of court
rs to the settlement Of the war. That
settlement Is contained In the peace
treaty and Mr.. Bryan got 1t ratified,
Philippines and all.
ITO the American people. the Repub-
lican party led by William Mckinley.
has given prosperity at homo and VIC
tory and prestige abroad. Let them

9th that an honest dollar, n protective

The procession halted ut the speakers

promptly took charge OF one of the
leaders and locked him up. This had n
quieting effect on the others and they
kept respectful distance from the
meeting to beat their tom-toms. 1t was
difficult place to speak from and Mr..
Weems was careful OF his voice. but he
held the crowd well and sent some tell
