Is Liberty to Become Obsolete.

Hon. Webster Davis, who recently resigned
as Assistant Secretary of the Interior to go
upon the platform to place the cause of the
Beers before the people Of this country, ad-
dressed great gathering at the Grand Opera
House, Washington, d. c., last Sunday night
He told of the cause of the war, which was
British desire to control the government of
the Transvaal and get possession of her gold
fields; of the violation of the white flag by the
British and their charging the violation upon
the Beers; of the bravery of the Beers, their
simplicity, love of freedom and justice, and
closed with these words
"Then why should we not sympathize with
the world assist the smallest Of republics? Is the
word liberty TO become obsolete in our national
lexicon? Must this greatest republic of the world
history chain its destiny TO the chariot wheels OF
the British Empire in her mad race for land and
gold? Shall the fair name of this great republic,
whose proves on land and sea has been me marye
ciaIs and the British press as a menace TO other
European powers who are anxious to assist the
Beers I'm their brave struggle for freedom and inde-
pendence?
doctrines of our fathers Let US listen to the cry
for help from all who struggle for liberty and jus
tice Let 1t not be said by future historians that
this great republic arose in spendor and grandeur
that made the world stare but It hated justice and
1t fell and as 1t was going down the despotism of
earth, grinning from the tops Of bloody thrones,
se tGd .Sa
to Il that the world may know that their sympa-
thies are not with Great Britain but with the strg
Cling Beers and let 1t be known that they believe
the cruel war waged in South Africa should stop
and stop at once"

Alliance With England.


Evidence is strong of secret understand
ing between the Mckinley Administration
and England in reference to affairs in Asia.
The utterances of English statesmen and of
Senator Davis. chairman ofthe Foreign Affairs
Committee of the United States Senate, all
point to it The treaty on the Nicaragua
Canal is another evidence, and the assembling
of United States war ships off the coast of
China still further points to the understand
ing. The American Minister at Pekin has
addressed note to the Chinese government
requesting the suppression Of the Boxers, who
have been molesting and threatening foreigners
under penalty of having United States troops
landed to restain them. England has done
the same. The news of the action Of our
Minister first came from London, in which it
said joint note was issued to China. Our
State Department professed ignorance of the
action of our Minister, but admitted that If he
had acted, he did SO singly and not jointly
with other powers. From this it would ap-
pear that our Minister, in Eastern affairs, was
subject to Lord Salisbury's government, and
to that government we must apply for infor-
nation as to our action on affairs in China

Brilllant Spring opening at Miller Bros.

Westminster has good reason TO be proud
at all times of the energy and progress of her
young business men, but at no time has she
had greater cause than on Saturday last, dur
ing the splendid opening and re-opening OF
this popular establishment. The town was
filled with visitors from all parts of the state
and from neighboring states attending the
sessions OF the Maryland Annual Conference
of the NJ. P. Church, as well those who
we're attracted by the announcement of the
opening, and their unanimous verdict WAS
that this was one of the finest and most I'M
posing openings they had ever seen, not ex-
cepting those of larger cities. Large crowds
were.aitracted to the handsomely decorated
windows, but inside the store there was con-
slant moving panorama of busy clerks and
eager purchasers during the day. The store
had been re-modelled and enlarged, and to
stand at the opening of the second floor, and
look down over the busy, moving throngs was
sight worth remembering. The decorations
consisted of potted palms, while singing birds
in cages, and an orchestra of shrugged instru-
ments enlivened the scenes with delightful
music, which, combined with the masses of
violets, roses, carnations and pure white lilies,
so profusely exhibited in the millinery depart
ment, gave an impression of spring not easily
effaced. The millinery department is a new
feature and under the efficient management
of Miss Carrie Mccartney, with her accom-
plised assistants, Miss Lottie Heunsch and
Alice Bowie, bids fair to be one of the most
attractive departments. The handsome little
souvenir booklets, which preceded the opening,
gave only afaint conception of the beautiful hats
and bonnets Reproduced here. The French
models displayed, in exact imitation of the
creations of some of the finest designers, ex-
cited universal admiration, and orders suffi-
cient to keep the force busy during the entire
week were received during the day. 1t is
impossible to describe the many attractions of
this department-all the newest styles and Ia
test conceits in Tuscan, Neapolitan. Chip and
the cheaper braids. They must be seen to be
appreciated. On this floor, may also be found
very attractive display of ready-made gowns
in greater variety of style and material than
ever shcsn before, including the latest styles
| in khaki cloth in all the new shades, trimmed
aud plain skirts, and the ever popular Elton
| jacket in endless variety.
The lower floor exhibits an unusually at
tractive line of organizes, mulls, plain and
| figured taffetas and foulards, striped and EN-
broidered grenadines, with an endless variety
| of novelties too numerous to mention.
| You have only to ask for it, TO find your
wants supplied with articles to suit every taste
and pocket book. Those who were not for
tunate enough to be present ON Saturday last
will do well 10 call at the first opportunity.
Every day is opening day at Miller Bros
because each day shows some new and sur
prising attraction.

Teddy Roosevelt, who has been mentioned
as McKinley's running mate, concludes that
his work of governor of New York is not
finished and he wants denomination. IL IS
to be regretted that the great soldier who be-
lieves that he was the only person at the bat
tie of San Juan, cannot see his duty to run on
the ticket with Mckinley. He would be
heavy enough to sink Mckinley into oblivion,
and thus end Imperialism and Militarism.
