out on his deadly mission he goes to
the priest and they bow in prayer for a
certain number of days not being al
lowed to communicate with any one
not even a member of his family.
During these daysIo of total confinement
the priest talks and prays with him,
working him up to the pitch of mad
frenzy before starting him out on his
murderous journey. When the treaty
of peace was being formed General
Bates kindly informed the Sultan that
they might maintain their religious
rights until it came to that part which
they must leave out for if they ever
killed an American soldier through this
religious act of theirs he would kill the
perpetrator of the deed, the sultan
himself and the priest who excited
the one to do this terrible crime.
A great many of them wear the coat
Of mail but not all in time of danger.
These coats of mail are made either of
chain or Carbau horn. Those made of
horn are the best as the horn is very
tough, so tough that the heaviest
barong will not penetrate through il
while that made of chain will sever
into with one blow. The horn is first
cut into plates of about two inches in
width, four inches in length and one
fourth of an inch in thickness and then
fastened together with wire links.
They carry their knives in wooden
sheath shaped according to the knife.
Some OF these sheats are very fascinat-
ing as they are handsomely carved and
finely polished.
This is all for the present. thank
you once more for your kindness in
sending me your valuable paper. which

great success in the near future am

The Democratic Party Today.

Chicago Chronicle, DEM: The party
of Jefferson, the party which he founded
and led and which had adhered to his
ideals during the greater part of
century, has practically disappeared.
1t has not died, as the federalist and
wing parties died; it has quarreled and
separated. 1T has lost its leaders. II
has dissolved into factions. Its creed
has been corrupted. Nowhere in the
republic is there to be found leader
ship and a platform ofprinciples purely
democratic. They are tainted in some
degree in all sections by the errors of
republicanism and rampant follies of
populism.
In the south the so-called democratic
party is a monstrous pretense, mere
survival of race hatred, actuated by no
other controlling sentiment, and sub
ject, as matter of course under such
conditions, to impulsive and i'll con-
sidered movements in one direction or
another as this or that delusion may
seize upon its members.
In the east the predominating in
huence of Tammany, an undemocratic
organization welding despotic power
frequently for evil, has had at times a
baleful effect upon thelparty member
ship in districts where the principles
of democracy were held with consider
able tenacity.
In the far west, where the democratic
party never attained much strength,
its machinery has been seized upon by
populistic republicans hating the very
name of democracy and despising it,
principles, who have used its organiza
tion to further the widest notions Of
rotten finance and bedlamite economy
In all parts of the republic schisms
and isms, mostly socialistic in theil
origin, have arisen and attached them
selves to the democratic name. Man,
OF these departures have been tn,
natural outgrowths of republican
class rule. Some Of them hane beer
imported from monarch ridden Europe
All Of them tend Enthusiastically TOWARD
state socialism, which is the yer,
antithesis of democracy and which, in
stead of being new and desirable, wa
old and worn ont and discarded whei
the creed of Jefferson was given to tn
world.

Abraham Lincoln.

When leaving his home at Spring.
fiid. ILL.,, to be inaugarated President
of the United States, made a farewell
address to his old friends and neigh
bors, in which he said, "Neighbors give
your boys chance
These words come with as much
force to-day as they did when Lincoln
spoke them.
Up in the northwest is great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows
to come and deAelope 1t and "grow mp
with the country All over this broad
land are the young fellows, the boys
Lincoln referred to, seek to better
their conditions ana get on in life.
The country referred To lies along
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here
you can lind pretty much anything
you want. In Minnesota, and in the
Red River Valley, of North Dakota,
the finest prairie land fitted for wheat
and grain, or as well as for daring and
diversified farming. In western North
Dakota and Montana are stock ranges
limitless in extent, clothed with the
nest nutritious of grasses.
Ii a fruit farming REGION in wanted
there is the whole state of Washington
to select from.
As for scenic delights the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through cOun-
try unparalleled. In crossing the
Rocky aud Cascade mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen
in the United States from ear windows
is found. The wonderful bad lands,
wonderful in graceful form and glow
ing color, area poem. Lakes Pend d
0rsille and Ceur d. Alene, are alone
worthy OF a trans, continental trip. The
ride along the Clark Fork Of the Col.
umbia river Is Il daylight dream.
To reach aud see all this the North
ern Pacific furnishes trains and ser
vices of unsurpassed excellence. The
most approved and comfortable pal6ce
sleeping cars; the best dining ears that
can be made; Pullman Tourist ears
good for both first and second class
passengers; easy riding day coaches
with baggage, express and postal cars
all drawn by powerful locomotives,
make train fit for royalty itself.

medans continue in the full enjoyment
of their peculiar lives and liberties in
which they are greatly assisted by their
long sharp knives. On their fifty or
more habitable islands they continue
to- worship in their own Mohammedan
way, to bear the responsibility OF as
many wives and families as they can
afford to keep, as many slaves as they
can get, to chew beetle nut and fight
with sharp knives, to dance and sing
and to he the most disreputable,
picturesque, dirty and interesting
mortals who decorate the face of the
earth in this age of the world.
A keen edged knife heavy enough to
sever the head of an enemy is the one
absolutely necessary possession of a
Moro. Like the Texas mans revolver
it may not be needed often, but if it
should be he feels that he has not
carried it in vain. Give him gorgeous
red, green and orange colored sash in
which to carry his trusty knife and a
box of beetle-nut and he can dispense
with the remainder of his wardrobe and
frequently does. But take away his
knife and he would consider himself
naked, brilliant in clothes in many
colors though he may be. These
knives are of various shapes and
weights, usually long and heavy. The
barong most commonly used is a
fish shaped blade accurately balanced
for cutting. So strong and heavy is it
that it slashes through body and bone
at blow. For thrusting, the famous
creepy looking Malay creese is used.
These are either straight or waved
snake-like two edged-blade. For other
uses are various fascinating weapons,
two handed swords, beheading knives,
spears and daggers. For defense they
have clumsy, wooden shields and coats
Of mail made of chains and Caribou
horn plates.
A free born Moro scorns work as
something far beneath his dignity. His
slaves and wives labor for him while he
strolls about with other males of leisure
or serves in his Dato's train of followers
which is the same as body guard and
that is when they wear the firery colors
for which they are noted. The females
are all slaves and are treated according
ly. Their religion allows them four
wives and as many slaves as they are
able to buy. At any time that wife
or slave should dare to disobey their
masters orders he may kill them at
once if he wishes. Through their
religion native badrow as much as he
can pay back in stated time but il he
should fail to pay back within the
limits of the stated time he becomes a
slave at once and his entire family, also
condemning them in the world beyond.
1t is their belief that after once being
condemned through this course that
himself or family can never enter
heaven until he has killed so many dis
believers of their religion and he also
must be killed in his religious fight,
which releases his family from slavery
at once and makes them safe in the
world beyond. When he first starts
