1t is remarkable how generations of
preachers occur in families. Rev. Dr..
Peyton H. Hoge is an Illustration Of
this. And 1T is also remarkable how
many preachers come out of some fam
lilies from the same parents. The late
Rev. DR.. j. Henry Smith, of Green's
boron, a preacher of ability, learning
and much usefulness, illustrates this.
He has three ons in the ministry-all
able-and two professors in colleges
and both members of the Presbyterian
church, and men of force and learn
ing in their professions. We find in
the last Charlotte Presbyterian Stand
ard a communication from Nashville,
Tenn, relative to this family of men
of talents, which interested US. We
copy:
THE late Rev. J. Henry Smith, D.
D., of Greensboro, N. c., had five sons.
The eldest is the Rev. Samuel NJ.
Smith, D. D., pastor of h First Pres

who succeeded his father in Green's

Deception.

The PHILIPPINE war furnishes very
good ground to accuse the administra-
ton of assimilation. 1t was announced
several months ago that the censorship
had been discontinued. If this were
true the fact that American newspa-
pers have been publishing scarcely any
news of fighting in the islands would
be strong evidence that the war had
practically ended. Recently, however,
much belated news has been published
tending to show that the PHILIPPINES are
as aggressive as ever, and have been
slowly but surely recovering the terri
tory garrisoned by our troops. This
makes it pretty clear that there has
been an effort at Washington to conceal
the true condition of things. Past ex-
perience of the discrepancies between
the reports of Mr.. McKinley's many So
called commissions sent to Manila
to inquire and report as TO the pro-
gress of the war of subiugation, and the
actual conditions as subsequently shown
when the real facts were brought to
light, prepared the American people to
distrust the presidents latest com
missions" glowing report showing that
except few "robber bands in remote
mountain districts all is peace and
prosperity, and the people, all anxious
for American rule. Unluckily Tor
those who have been engaged in de-
ceiving us, the publication of this
roseate report from the commission
was accompanied in the newspapers
by report from Gen. Macarthur, show
ing an entirely different condition OF
things from that reported by the com
mission" Thus the people have had
an object lesson which ought to open
the eyes of those republicans who are
too ready to take for granted every
thing the president and his white
washing commissions may declare
as to the conditions existing in the
islands, This evidence that the admin
istration has been trying to deceive the
American people is absolutely con
elusive to anyone who will permit him
self to look at it.

He Has a Novel ayaker.

Early risers resort to all sorts of
methods to make sure that they will
be UP betimes for business or pleasure
as the necessity may he. Passing
| through uptown streets III the early
dawn, it is no unusual thing to see a
friendly Waterman, or, perhaps, the
milkman or baker, hammering ener-
getically on the window of first floor
Nat. or. If the person to be aroused
lives higher up energetically pushing
the button of the electric bell.
AS a mater of fact in sections where
there are large number of residents
whose employment begins at four or
five in The morning there are profess
SIGNAL walkers who, for a small sum
per week, will guarantee to wake up
their clients at certain hour each
morning. I13iii
Perhaps the most novel method en-
ployed is that of young revenue
clerk. whose duties once or twice a
week require that he shall be at a GER
tain pier at seven O'Clock, which is
about an hour earlier than he usually
gets up.
He tried an alarm clock. but as Of

but the servant freduently oversight.
He was in despair.
One night he was vending his way
home rather late, wondering how he
was going to get awake in the morn
ing, when he happened to pass tele-
graph Office. A happy thought struck
him.
Entering the Office, he wrote out a
telegram addressed to himself and
signed with an initial. It read

Leaving instructions that 1t was to
be delivered at FIVE O'Clock In the

bed. Promptly at five a messenger boy
was energetically ringing the bell. hav-
ing been informed that the message

young man now resorts to 1t as mat

telegraph company employees believe
1t is an urgent one, and thus ser the

STOOD ON IT'S HEAD.
Big Engineering Feat Accomplished by thu
CITY of Chicago.

Big Engineering Feat Accomplished by the
City of Chicago.
The city of Chicago has just per-
formed the feat of standing the Chi
eago River on its head. Incidentally it
has gone back to the old fashion of
wearing the river. In very old times
this murky stream used to run toward
the Mississippi. During all the time
since white men have lived near it it
has fed Lake Michigan. Now it goes
to the Mississippi again. And If some
of the towns in Central Illinois have
their way it may be turned back into
the lake again.
Lake Michigan is above the level of
the Upper Mississippi and only strip
of earth a few miles across and ten
feet or so high keeps all the water
OF the lake from flowing south, as 1T
did in Cenozoic days. The city has cut
big canal through these ten miles.
The canal is one of the biggest en-
cheering feats ever attempted in this
country. 1t mas cost nearly $34, 900 900
more than the first cost of the Erie
Canal from Buffalo to Albany and
more than half its total cost to date,
with all its improvements and the
"wasteful management"
Some gigantic results may flow from
this work done by one city. For in
stance, the United States may now,
using the canal as starter, dig a ship
canal all the way to the Mississippi.
There is powerful opposition to the
new canal from two directions. Lake
shippers and captains oppose it be-
cause they claim that to draw off so
much water from the upper lakes will
lower their level SO much as to in
jure the harbors.
The other objection is more reason
able. Smaller cities and towns along
the Illinois Valley don't care to have
all the sewage of Chicago swept past
them. especially as most of these towns
get their water supply from the river.
Chicagos reply to the criticism is, OF
course, that the water pouIsd down the
canal as limpid as an angels tear.
And Congress will have 10 decide
whether the truth is with Chicago or
its critics. Chicago being the biggest.
1t might be easy to prophesy the out

While Bryan favored the Spanish
treaty to end complications, he also,
eight days afterwards, worked for
the resolution which read THAT the
United States disclaims any disposition
or intention to exercise permanent
jurisdiction or control over said islands
and assert their determination, when
a stable and independent government
shall have been erected therein, en-
titled in the judgment of the United
States to recognition as such, to trans
fer TO said government, upon such
terms, which shall be reasonable and
just, all rights secured undel. the eeSSion
of Spain, and thereupon leave the gov
eminent and control of the islands TO
their people" The republicans are dis
honest in this matter. Mr. Bryan be-
fore Ceveras fleet was destroyed said
that history viii vindicate the position
taken by the United States in the war
with Spain. In saying this | assume
that the principles which were invoked
in the Inauguration of the war will be
observed in its prosecution and con-
clusion. If. however, contest, under
taken for the sake of humanity, degen-
crates into war of conquest, we shall
find it difficult to meet the charge of
hsying added hypocrisy to greed. Is
our national character so week that we
cannot withstand the temptation to APP
propiats the first piece of land that comes
within our reachs To infliet upon the
enemy all possible harm is legitimate
warfare, but shall we contemplate a
scheme for the colonization OF the
orient merely because our ships won a
remarkable victory in the harbor of
Manillas Our guns destroyed Span
ish fleet, but can they destroy that self
evident truth, that governments derive
their Just powers, not from superior
force, bus from the consent of the
governed -
This does not look hike deceptis,l.
MIR. Bryan has been honest and fearless
in the treaty matter, and the republi-
cans know it. They are getting in a
badly scared state of mind when they
win resort TO such wholesale misrepre-
ssntation as has characterized them on
the treaty question.

THIS talk about Hannah bleeding the
trusts for campaign funds is mislead
ing. No one can bleed trust. The
fact that coineident with the large
drafts made by Hanna upon the trusts
they Immediately put up the prices of
several of the neeessaries of life shows
who is being bled. When Pullman
wanted to buy an Austrian Nobleman
for husband to his daughter. the
couple of million that it was expected
to cost him was recouped by reduc-
ton in the wages of his employees.
When the trusts want to raise cam
paign funds for Hanna they put up the
prices of the articles they control. In
the end Hanna will get the money he
wants, and the trusts having squeezed
more money from the people than
Hanna got, viii be better off than they
would have been if no eempaign fund
has been raised The stern and disa-
agreeable fact is that the trust machine
makes democrats contribute equally
with republicans, TO the republican
campaign funds. Its as plain as the
nose on your face. And so long as the
trusts exist it will be the same.
