AS TO PLEDGE-BREAKING.

A great deal has been said about
pleGge-breaking in Utah. Republicans
have repeatedly accused the people OF
this state of being pledge-breakers, and
the Republican organ occasionally in
quires if Utah would have obtained
statehood had the nation known that
the people were pledge-breakers, as it
has accused them of being in wholesale
and indiscriminate charges.
Nobody who knows the people of this
state takes any stock in these ISLANDERS.
The people as a rule are honest and law
abiding; as a whole they are as true
to their obligations and pledges as are
the people of any state.
But there are pledge-breakers in
Utah.
There are a lot of state officials who
sought and obtained office on a pledge
of loyalty to bimetallism.
They have violated those pledges.
They have violated their obligations
to the people of Utah.
They have abandoned bimetallism and
joined the party of the single gold
standard.
Does any one believe that one of these
state officials would have drawn a SAL
airy from the state for four years,
would be in Office today had
it been known in 1898 that he would be
shouting for the gold standard today -?
Could one of them have been elected,
had il been known then that he would
betray the cause of bimetallism and
violate his pledges? And this list in
cludes James T. Hampond, who now
asks the people to send him to con-
cruces

There are few newspapers printed in
this western country. no matter how
devoted they may have been TO the ad-
minstration, but protest against the
passage of any tariff discrimination
against the people of Porto Rico. The
Payson Globe Header contributes the
following to the popular expression of
general indignation: IF the United
States can't give the people of Porto
Rico the same rights and protection as
in the states it should not undertake
to govern them. 1t looks to us like a
gross imposition to levy tariff on ar
ticfes shipped from the island to this
country. Might just as we'll levy a tar
iff on goods shipped from one state to
another"

WAR BY MoUTH-FIGHTERS.

1t IS said that traitor hunters in this
country have been overshooting the
mark. Everything of fair and friend
~ nature from the United States tends
to reassure the Filipinos and causes
many of them to conclude that perhaps
they can trust the people of this re-
public to be kind and considerable in the
relations between them.
On the other hand every rabid as
sault upon them by administration
toades who are trying to kill two birds
with one stone-to please the president
and prolong the war for partisan pRr-
poses-causes the islanders to misjudge
the temper of the American people and
to fight with redoubled desperation.
One whisky-soaked waiver of the
bloody shirt, shrieking for war and
damage and provoke more bloodshed
and arouse more hatred than all the
missionary work of priest or soldier
can counterfeit in six months.
Even the temperate but cold-blooded
declarations of designing imperialiats
have tendency-in that direction. Gen
eral Otis admitted this when he blue
penciled McKinley's message before he
allowed it to circulate among them.
And now the Boston Herald, a gold
bug-expans!on organ, says:
Reports have been received from Ma
Mia TO the effect that printed copies of
Senator Beverages speech, or extracts
from that speech, have been put in circu-
lation among the Filipinos, in order to
lead them TO continue to resist the armed
forces of the United States.
The traitors, then, are those who have
been stirring up strife, who have been
aggravating the islanders, who have
been shouting defiance and threats of
vengeance at an ignorant, suspicious
race, who have been adding to the
fears and the desperation Of the Tagasl
by Incorporate and ill-natured mouth
ings and pencilings calculated to pro-
long the war and destined to cost this
republic hundreds of lives yet before
the restoration of order.
These Spanish newspapers printed in
America do not reflect American senti-
ment. The Weylerism they advocate is
not Americanism. But the Tagals do
not know. And every time toddy-tip-
pier raises his glass and let's out war
whoop they imagine that death is near
and grasp their rifles, determined to
fight to the bitter end. This is what
has cost this country so many lives
and SO much treasure.
The blathersiites who make war with
their lungs should be suppressed; the
modification Of the F'ilipinOs will follow
easily and quickly.

had worked in this direction in vain be-
fore the solution of the problem was
hit upon by Hertz.
1t is easy to start waves IN the ether.
IN fact almost any natural phenomenon
starts them. The difficulty was in de-
tecting their presence when they lay
outside the range of light and heat
effects.
Rapid Discharges oscillatory.
When an electrically charged body is
discharged the character or the dis
charge depends upon the properties Of
the discharging circuit If that circuit
has magnetic properties IN any marked
degree it acts as damper and the
charge runs off with comparative slow
ness as current in one direction only.
If, however. the magnetic properties are
absent or of very small value the cleo
trio charge surges rapidly out past the
point of equilibrium. then back again
and oscillates in this way until the
energy has been dissipated as heat. A
spark discharge, of which lightning is
an example on the greatest scale known
TO us, oscilIates while it lasts at the rate
of perhaps many million times Sec
ond and starts waves in the ether of a
corresponding frequency and length.

A Few Practical Hints.

2. As there are but two genderS IN French.
masculine and feminine, things which are
neuter in English are either masculine or
feminine in French 1t is hard TO give posi-
tive rule as to which nouns are masculine ana
which feminine. We will try to give as far as
possible guide to gender in each lesson. In
case Of doubt, however, consult your dlctlon-
airy and memorize the noun with It's proper
article.
5. The following few useful notes will ma
terlally aid the student in confronting some
difficulties ne will meet Therefore remem-
Der, that
(a) the name of God and all supernatural
beings are masculine.
God; Dieu: dee-yeu.
Angel; rangei ang-Zj.
Demon; lie demon; dsy-nong.
(b) nouns which designate n.an in his diff
ferent conditions arc also masculine
Brother; lie frere; frare.
Soldier; lie soldat; sol-dah.
(c) furthermore. nouns designating the
males Of animals, as:
Horse; lie cheval; chev-val
Lion: lie lion; lee-ong.
{d) the seasons and cardinal points are
masculine.
The spring; lie printemps; luh pran-tong.
