AT $50 o'clock Tuesday evening. a Ger
tain Gardiner pastor was settled back in
his study. lost in the problems of Chris
tian ethics. when suddenly the front door
bell became frantically insane. 1t was n
Maybasket ring, to be sure. The pastor
jumped into a pair Of old shoes, which
didn't happen to be mates, gained the
piazza. and sprang into the darkness
alighting among the branches of a small
lawn tree. What followed may be better
imagined than described. Suffice it to
say that when the pursuer returned from
the unsuccessful chase he was in a sorry
plight. Dishevelled hair. mud-laden gar
ments and flying shoestrings were bad
enough. but horror. when opening the
door the pastor stepped into the midst of
50 Of his rarishioners. who chimed out in
chorus: I'VE won't go home until morn
ing" They had hired small boys" to do
the running. 1t was beautiful ana use
full Maybasket. and the deed was beau
tifully' done.

that they are always ready to volunteer
to fight successfully our country's bat
ties against any foe.
Why then do we need large standing
army to be supported for the business of
fighting at an enormous tax to our peo-
pie? Will trained national guard in
every state be too much American to be
relied on to carry out a wouldbe en-
peror's wishes? Do we intend to keep
armies in our colonies to keep on killing
the natives who ask only for freedom?
Why, republicans, does country like
ours need large standing army?
Then, if you can answer that question,
tell us whether you want to make the
Filipinos subjects or citizens? Tell us
where the president or congress gets
greater authority than the constitution,
and how the presidents power extends
where the constitution does not go?
Did Mckinley get his destiny idea di-
rectly from providence or from Mark
Hanna?
Which is to prevail? The interests of
Mark Hanna and the trusts, or the in
terests of the American people?
Read Bryan's acceptance speech and
then think whether you will be true

G. P. Huntington, the magnate of the
Southern Pacific railway system, is dead.
Huntington possibly had more enemies
than any other man living since Jay
Gould passed behind the curtain of OBJ
livion. While it is considered unchris-
tian to speak ill of the dead, yet there
are the widows and orphans of the Mus
sci Slough victims who will, as in the
case of the death of Stanford, rejoice
that they have lived to see Huntington
dead, and will not be chary of words in
expressing that Joy. With Stanford,
Huntington and Poole dead, the surviv-
ors of the seven victims of that terrible
tragedy of that bright May day on Mus
sci Slough, Tulare county, California,
will breathe freer. Huntington's life
was not upon lines which endeared him
to the people.

terances that there is little reason to
doubt it's authenticity. But the alb
surdity of this reply to a forceful argu-
ment which both condemns Mckinley
and appeals to the common sense and
patriotism of the American people shows
to what straits the republicans are re-
duced for material with which to defend
their course.
McKinley's frantic cries to the public
to follow his lead, because through an
error of popular judgment four years
ago he was given the right to order the
flag into all sorts of strange places, have
exhausted their force, while the entire
absence of reason in the assertion that
Aguinaldo may gain encouragement by
the threatened overthrow of the present
administration is merely amusing. Agui-
naldo can hardly be dragged into the
campaign as an issue when questions of
so much greater Importance are under
consideration. The American people
will be called upon to deal with the
future of the Philippines only as an in
cident of the policy to be determined
upon respecting the nations adherence
to the principles which Mckinley alone
has seen fit to violate.
Mckinley has made use of the flag in
opposition to the laws of the land and
the spirit of the constitution. He has
used it to cover up schemes of question
able honesty for the promotion of which
hundreds of American lives have been
sacrificed. He has made it the symbol
of dishonorable conquest and tyrannical
oppression, and he has still the hardi-
hood to hold it aloft to public view, and
talk about the duties of patriotism in all
cases where the flag is involved.
Mr.. Mckinley may please himself and
his masters with his letter. but it is
doubtful if he will make any votes. His
plea is too palpably case of false pre-
