EXTRACTS FROM PRESIDENT
rIcKINLEY'S LETTER.

The republic was never so strong
because never so intrcnched in the
hearts Of the people, as now.
Lynching must not be tolerated
in a great and civilized country like
the United States.
Restraint upon such combina-
lions (of trade) as are injurious,
aud which are within federal
jurisdiction, should be promptly
applied by the congress.
| have upon another occasion
called the Filipinos ''the wards of
the nation" Our obligation as
guardian was not lightly assumed;
it must not be otherwise than hon
estly fulfilled, aiming first of all
to benefit those who have come
under our fostering care. . 1t is our
duty so to treat them that our flag
may be no less beloved in the
mountains of Luzon,and the fertile
zones of Mindanao and Negroes
than it is at home; that there, as
here, it shall be the revered SYM
Dol OF liberty, enlightenment and
progress in every avenue OF de-
velopment.
For the real culprits jim China)
the evil counselors who have mis-
led the Imperial Judgment and d.
verted the sovereign authority Y
their own guilty ends, full expia-
ton becomes imperative within the
rational limits of retributive judg-
ment.
The matter Of indemnity for our
wronged citizens lin China) is a
question of grave concern. Meas
ured in money alone, a sufficient
reparation may prove to be beyond
the ability of China to meet. All
the powers concur in emphatic dis
chalmers of any purpose OF ag-
grandizement through the dismem-
berment OF the empire. am dis
posed to think that due compen-
sation may be made in part by
increased guarantees of security
for foreign rights and immunities
and, most important of all, by the
opening OF China to the equal COM
merce of all the world.
1t must be apparent that we will
require ar army of about 10000
and that, during present conditions
in Cuba and Philippines, the Pres
ident should have authority to
increase the force to present num-
Der of 100, 900.
The policy of reciprocity so
manifestly rests upon the princip-
les of international equity, and has
been so repeatedly approved by
the people of the United States,
there ought to be no hesitation in
in either branch of the congress
in giving to it full effect.

1T CANNOT BE FOREVER so.

Is it worth while that you iostle a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of life
Is it worth while that we jeer at each other
In blackness of heart ? that we war to the
knife?
o, pity us all in our pitiful strife.
Pity us all that we jostle each other!
Pardon us all for the triumphs We feel
When a fellow goes down meath his load on
the heather.
Pierced to the heart! words are keener than
steel,
And mightier far for woe. or for veal.
Were it not well in this brief little journey
On over the isthmus down into the tide.
We give him a fish instead of a serpent,
Ire folding the hands to be and abide?
Forever and ayC in the dust at his side?
Look at the roses s%aluting each other
Look at the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and man only, makes war on this bro
ther.
And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain,
Shamed by the beasts that go Town on the
plain. joaquin MILLER.

The Stree coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to 1" is as dead as
a door nail. The gold standard
has come to stay, and the young
est boy in the land will never see
the free coinage of silver. The
last two Presidential elections
settled that question beyond hope
of resurrection, but we yet think it
would be the proper thing TO do.

American Exposition in Buffalo,

American Exposition, it is pro-
posed to have a purely American
celebration, participated in by all
Republics, States and territories
OF the western hemisphere. The
strong, open, handsome, manly
face OF Hon. William l. Buchanan
adorns the page, as director gem

We can not but feel an interest
in this great American effort,
especially when we reflect that
nearly a fourth of the population
of the three Great Americas are

predict that, under the able man

Buchanan, it will only be SECOND

Judge Charges Jury
In the Morrison Case,

Defendant was on the Witness Stand Six Hours
Observation-Disclosures or Acquittal Expected.
Eldorado, Kan, December 7,-Jessie
Morrison to-day took the stand in her own
defense and, in a quiet, determined manner
told infinitely of her relations with DIN Cas-
the before his marriage and as calmly pictur-
ed the scene at the Castle house during the
bloody rough and tumble fight with Mrs.
Castle. She proved an unexpectedly strong
witness.
Miss Morrison approached the witness
chair pale and trembling and began her tes-
timony with an effort. As she proceeded
she gained confidence and related her story
without hesitation. She denied most of the
damaging testimony abducted by the prose-
cution.
She fatty denied many of the state
ments made on the stand by DIN Castle,
declared that he had tried to make Mrs. Cas-
tie jealous and hat Mrs. Castle had flaunt-
ted her husbands acts in her face.
KILLING OF MRS. CASTLE.
On the day of the tragedy, she declared
Mrs. Castle had called her into the house as
she was passing, had accused Miss Morrison
of trying to separate her and Castle and,
when she denied it, called her a liar.
Mrs. Castle had, the witness declared
emphatically, begun the fight, slashing her
with the razor again and again and conpell-
ing the defendant to attack her antagonist
in self self-defense.
During her thrilling recital of the story
of the two women rolling over one another
on the floor in their combat, the spectators
rivited their eyes upon Miss Morrison. In
all her testimony, Miss Morrison was direct,
and positive never once did she finch and
only one time during the cross-examination,
did she shed a tear.
Jessie Morrison was under fire of Pros
e%cuting Attorney Joseph Waters for nearly
two hours. Her REORGANIZATION did not
very materially form other testimony.
The deposition of A. j.. Morgan, a
peddler, was introduced. Morgan stated
that on the morning of June % he heard
Mrs. Castle say to Jessie Morrison, ''Come
in, | want to talk to YOU
Miss Morrison's statement, made on
the third day of the tragedy, which agrees
with her story to-day, was also admitted.
Several other witnesses testified, and
Judge Shinn delivered his charge to the
jury. He said much of the evidence is cir
c~umstantial.
Jessie is confident of acquittal. The
general sentiment at Eldorada is that there
will be a mistrial or an acquittal.

thirds of the audience has been made up of
women and girls, and to-day was no excep-
ception to the rule. An air of expectancy
pervaded the the room, and the drop of a
pin could have been heard when Judge Shinn
called, "Jessie Morrison,' and she made
her way toward the witness chair.
The first part of Miss Jessie's testimo-
ny contradicted much that Castle had said
on the stand. 1t disclosed. however, moth
ing sensational. At firstsher voice was harsh
but it afterwards became more soft and was
very low.
DEFENDANTS STORY.
In reply to questions, Miss Jessie related
ali the occurrences of the day of the fatal
quarrel with MIS-. Castle. She had visited
Mrs. Davis, she said, and, on her way home,
had passed the Castle house. She carried a
letter in her hand. but had no knife or razor,
Mrs. Castle opened her door and called to
her to come in.
Miss Jessie said she turned and entered
the house, Mrs. Castle fastened the screen
door behind them; witness seated herself
upon the lounge, and she sat near her in Il
chair.
"When | rose to go she said Don't
go yet, DIN is coming in a minute | said
Isn't he here now?' and she said Its too
bad for you to run after that poor boy
Il told her that he was the one who had
caused her to be so bitter to me. She said /:
Il know better. You tried to separate us
| said | had not, and she said You are Il
liar | said Don't call me a liar Then we
both raised up together She then paused.
What was done?' asked Judge Reddon.
Il dropped my handkerchief and / stopped
to pick it up. Then she jumped up,
moved quickly in the same direction. and then
she cut me with the razor
You had no razor, no knife or no weapon?'
"No, sir"
''Then what happened?'
'She cut me twice with the razor across
my throat. | grabbed at her and screamed
Then she and | rushed together and she
threw me and | raised my knees to protect
myself and she kept striking at me all the
tlile. clS lei ONeI ol inc anu llen we
both rolled off the lounge. We both strug-
gled and | got the razor away from her.
After that we both rolled over the floor
Then what did you do?' asked Judge
Redden. Il cut her, answered the witness,
in "A conversational tone.
DO you know how many times?'
No sir
do you know what became of the raZor?'
She may have knocked it out of my hand
or ] may have dropped it,
Capt. Waters then began the cross-exami-

announced at the department that
the visit of the inspector to the

that he came solely to look up
minor matters of administration in

laid before him at some length the
present stage of the work which has
