IT seems that our Congressman
Weeks has been to Porto Rico once up
on time, and while there did not
spend his whole time in soaking his
feet. On the other hand, he busted
himself in picking up pointed pebbles
and filling his pockets. These he
brought home for specimens and-am-
munition. A few days ago he fired a
few of them into the pending Home
Rule Bill, knocking the spots off the
same. He intimated that he stands
ready to do more shooting with balls
out Of those same pockets. The fellows
on the other side of the fence will have
to be deft dodgers or some of these
pebbles may strike them and there be
some skinned noses or bunged eyes.

CONGRESS may pass the finance bill,
adopt the gold standard and thus make
honest money. But why not, while
they are at the business, so fix it that
these honest dollars would have to be
honestly earned? We may be a mite
oldfogyish, but it is our firm convic-
ton that dishonest dollars do not
trouble the country one millionth part
as much as dishonest ways of getting
them. BY all means give us the honest
dollar, but bear in mind these will need
honest pockets in which to store them
selves

WHEN the treaty of peace was signed
between this nation and Spain, and
Porto Rico became our island, did that
make the Porto Ricans citizens of the
United States? If they are citizens,
then give them the same rights, oppor-
tunities, and privileges according to
citizens in any other territory. If
they are not citizens, then we have
made a most stupid blunder, in not
forcing Spain to remove her citizens as
well as her soldiers from the island.

AT the time Uncle Sam picked up
little Porto Rico, we heard something
about the sugar producing power of
that island, and what an acquisition it
was to our great sugar-using country.
1t seemed that it was all even so, yes,
too much so, for the sugar growers of
this country. The result is, that these
beet sugar men want tariff laid
against the Porto Rico product. Nine
ty-nine sugar eaters of this country
want cheap sugar just as much as one
sugar grower wants dear sugar Not
considering the rights of our newly
made citizens in Porto Rico, we ask,
which will be the greatest good to the
greatest number; cheap sugar for the
ninety-nine, or dear sugar for the one?

CHAFFEE
Has Reached Nagasaki and Will Ar
rive at Taku Saturday.

Washington, July 25.-Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin received a cable dispatch
today from General Chaffee. announc-
ing his arrival on the transport Grant
at Nagaski. He cables all well. AS
soon as the Grant is ,coaled she will
proceed at once to Taku. General
Chaffee on his arrival received the ca
Bile dispatch announcing his appoint
ment as a major general Of volunteers.
General Chaffee received telegraphic
advices from the secretary of war
which fastened the departure of the
Grant for Taku, where she will prob
ably arrive on Saturday. 1t is expect
ed that General Chaffee. after a CON
ference with Admiral Remey, will i'm
mediately proceed to Tien Tsin. leaving
the troops which accompanied him to
follow as quickly as practicable. 1t is
expected that the transports. with two
battalions of the Fourteenth infantry
and Reills battery of the Fifth artil-
lery from Manila, will reach Tien Tsin
by the time General Chaffee arrives
there. After his conference with Ad-
miral Remey and the commanders of
the military forces at Tien Tsin, Cen
eral Chaffee will promptly and fully
advise the war department in regard to
the details of the situation and the
prospect of an early advance of the re-
lief force toward Picking. It is under
stood that his instructions contemplate
that he shall do all he can. with due
regard, of course, to military consider
atoms, to promote as early an advance
as practicable, and it is expected that
in doing this he will act with the
hearty cooperation of the other COM
manders Of the International forces.

MRS. PIPER'S N


A Description of the Mode of Com.
m~unIcatLons" Made by Her.
The mode of Communication is
somewhat as follows: Mrs. Piper goes
into a "trance"-some state of ~insensi-
bility and Inconsistencies of whose
nature We know little or nothing
her head resting on a pillow placed on
a table, says Harper's Magazine. A
pencil is placed in her fingers and
the Communications are written out
on a pad provided by the sitter. Mrs.
Piper is not touched in the mean
time, so that muscular suggestion is
excluded from consideration. The sit
ter simply remains in silence until he
finds 1t necessary to ask a question,
which is addressed to the mediums
hand. In the meantime, and without
any suggestion or question, all sorts
of messages comprising incidents in
the previous life Of the ''communica-
tor" may be written down, all i'm
known to Mrs. Piper, and often I'M
known to the sitter, but verified after
ward among those at a distance whom
he may interrogate. To many these
facts Will seem trivial, but their value
consists in that fact. The first prob
lem for the psychical researcher is the
personal identity of the alleged dis
carnate spirit, and only the most triv-
ial incidents a make that certain.
Generalities, profound philosophy,
poetic description. and similar phe-
nomena would only condemn all claims
to spiritism. Personal experiments
which conducted show, that living
intelligent men choose trivial incidents
to prove their identity. and that the
choice Of them does not serve as an
index Of their character or conditions
Of life and conduct.

dispatch from Lord Roberts:
'Vandermerwe Station, July 24.-We
made a general advance yesterday from
