AN OvER-zEALoUs REFoRMER

Temperance reformers are well meaning
people, but among them are some who are
over jealous and others who are lacking
in judgment. There may be a few who
are so anxious to make sensational state
ments that they are not as careful to get
the truth as they should be. In fact. it
may be that they do not care so much
about the truth as they do about attract
ing attention.
In Washington dispatch of recent
date 1t was stated that the Rev Wilbur
F. Crafts, well known temperance re-
former in that city, had stated in speech
which he delivered in Boston soon after
the last Congress adjourned, that the
President and members of his cabinet,
while waiting in the Presidents room at
the Capitol during the last hours of the
session for bills requiring the Presidents
signature, We're served with great quaint
ties of champagne.
1t is probable that Mr. Crafts believed
this statement, but as ne was speaking
of the President and his cabinet, and
knew that his statement would attract
wide Attention, he ought to have been sure
that what he said was true 1t turned
out that it was not true. 1t is doubtful
if the President is a wine drlnker. He
certainly does not drink wine at the ban
quets which he attends.
The man who has charge of the Presi-
dents room at the Capitol is MIR. A. d.
CASTOR. few days ago he met Mr..
Crafts in the Capitol. and asked him on
what authority he had made the foregoing
statement, in his Boston speech. MIR.
Crafts said that he himself had seen the
bottles being carried TO the Presidents
room. Mr.. CASTOR asked him If he knew
what was in the bottles, aud he admitted
that he did not 1t seems therefore that
this reformer made an injurious statement
concerning the President and his cabinet
about matter concerning which he prac-
tically knew nothing AS a matter of
fact. the bottles contained mineral water.
Mr. Crafts did the President and his cab
met an injury which he cannot repair.
The harm he did in that one false state
ment outweighs all the good that he has
ever done probably by his temperance
work There are too many of the tenn
perance reformers who lack qualifications
for the work they attempt to do

MISUNDERSTANDING MIR. BRYAN.

In washington last Saturday Mr.. Bryan
complained that there seemed to be
deliberate determination on the part OF
some of the newspapers unfriendly to him
TO mfsrepresent his position in respect TO
the PhHippines. In order that there might
be no ground for such Misrepresentation
he stated mis- position on that subject In
writing. Notwithstanding this effort 10
set himself right, some of the correspond
ents of leading Republican papers stated
in their dispatches the substance of what
he wrote in way that was calculated to
create a wrong impression.
For instance, the correspondent of the
Times-Herald of Chicago, who has the
reputation of being one of the ablest news
paper men in Washington, stated in dis
patch to his paper that Mr.. Bryan was
"for expansion but was against imperial
ISM and that he explained what he meant
by saying that he favored giving the Fill
pinos independence and protecting them
against outside interference.
If the correspondent had let the matter
rest there, neither Mr. Bryan nor any one
else would have mad any excuse for com
plant But he did not do that. He made
the statement that Mr.. Bryan did. not ex-
plain how Filipino independence could be
reconciled with an American protec torate.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Bryan did make
such an explanation. He said that the
kind of protectorate the American govern
ment should exercise over the Philippines
was the same as that which 1t exercises
over the republics of Central and South
America 1t is we'll understood what kind
of a protec torate that is. 1t is simply pre-
venting European Powers from interfering
in the affairs of those republics or en-
deavoring to dominate them.
For this country to exercise such au-
thority might not be good thing for the
Filipinos, and ii might be more costly than
profitable for this country. Still Mr.. Bry
an favors such a protectorate for the ISL
ands. He is against permanent posses
sion of them which, in his opinion, means
imperialism and militarism.
1t is true that knowing nothing about
self-government the Fnipinos might find
it difficult, if not impossible, 10 maintain a
liberal and stable government. The vari-
Gus tribes might keep up continuous
war with each other, and a condition of
affairs approaching anarchy and chaos
might prevail but these are matters for
eign 10 that of which Mr.. Bryan COM
plains. He is entitled to have his position
foirly stated not only in the Democratic
papers but also in the Republican papers.
His position, whatever it may be, is of
course fair subject for criticism.

Profits of German Parma.

Consul-General Guenther writes
from Frankfort, April %, 1900: For
h purpose of furnishing information
with reference to new commercial
treaties, investigation concerning the
proitableness of a large number of
ARMS have been made by the author
tiles in the kingdom of Wurttemberg.
Ninety-four were selected, including
h smallest and those of several hun
dred acres. The appraised value
amounted to 1870, 900; the average
value per acre, to 1925, varying from
$75 to $3.50. The average profit per
acre was 81, or 1.72 per cent of the to-
tai appraised value. The several es-
adjustments, however, showed very
different results. OF the n~inety-four
farms, nine worked with a loss.
OF the remainder, only sixteen return
ed interest on the working capital;
nineteen yielded 5 per cent on the
working capital and 3 per cent on the
investment for buildings; fifty yielded
5 per cent on the working capital and
8 per cent on the capital invested in
buildings, and in addition an income
on the lands ('Grundrente"l, which
latter in two instances amounted to
SIT per cent.

OriGin of ''Lobsfer.''

Boston is now engaged in the at
tempt to determine when the word
lobster was first applied to a man as
a term of opprobrium. New York had
been satisfied for two years with the
explanation that the phrase was first
heard on the Gutenberg track, where
1t was used to describe the quality of
the horselesh that took part in the
races there. 1t was the particularly
bad performance of one horse on
which a crowd of small bettors had
staked all their earnings that led to
the first use of the name by a dis
gusted sport. This explanation of the
words use has generally been ac-
cepted by everybody, although more
erudite theories, suited better to Bos-
toms particular case, have recently
been forthcoming. John Adams, in
his argument in defense of the British
soldiers on trial for murder because
of completely in the Boston Massa-
cre," mentions the word lobster as
one of the epithets applied by the citi-
zens to the soldiers. The use of the
word lobster" as applied to a soldier
has also been shown by a Bostonian
interested in the subject to have been
found as far back as 1912. if not be-
fore that time. In the face of such
learned investigation, the Gutenberg
race track hypothesis seems to have
small chance of acceptance.

Robert William Pc. K, member or
Parliament for the Louth division of
Lancashire, Eng, is the founder of the
1000, GOO guinea fund for the cause
Of Methodism. Subscriptions are linz
tied to Methodists of England, Scot
land and Wales, and the fund after
being raised, will be expended in tnlt
territory alone. The base idea of the
fund is that contributions of one gui-
nea shall be made by 1000, 900 pecp.e,
whose names shall be inscribed on the
historic roll of M~ethodism's British
army. The fund is to be raised by he
end Of this year. 1t is the purpose of
Mr.. PeIk, who is one of the most rad.
ical Methodists of Great Britain, that
10000 0 of the fund shall go into
the educational training of preachers.
For chape,s, schools and mission halls
$1,350,0O0 is to be expended. The fun
is of such magnitude that even the
great Thanksgiving fund of the Wes-
leyans Isl, 000, 000) in 1860 sinks into
ins.gnifcance.
