SENATOR MORGAN AND GEN. NC
ARTHUR.
(Frorp the Washington Post.)

(From the Washington Post.)
1t Is not generally known. perhaps, that
Senator Morgan Of Alabama was
threatened with arrest for alleged oom
plicity in the assassination OF Lincoln.
or oourss, Senator Morgan Was not only
innocent, but actually did not hear Of
Lincoln death until a week after 1t had
occurred. He was then farmer In
Dallas county, his practice of the law
having been prohibited oy the federal
authorities, and hs was blowing corn
when he heard that an order had Teen
received by Gen Macarthur at Selma t.
arrest hiu, and send him TO Washington
for omplicity In the Lincoln asssssina.
ton. Sen ator Morgan went into his
house, attired himself In his confederate
generals uniform. with starred epaulets,
belt sword and other accoutrements ooiD
pIste. Then he saddled his pillow horse
and rode to Selma, where lie presented
himself to Gen. Macarthur.
"Good-morning. general" he said.
."Good- morning, general, replied No

Then ne remarked that the order would
not be obeysd-or. at least, not until

did not suit Morgan, who wanted to 60 to

people OF these islands are no less dsa-
Rsrous because they are ANNEXED BY
treaty 10 this country. Their character
Is not changed. II 10 would have been
perflous 20 admit them TO this coun-
try before annexation 10 will be Just IS
perilous now. We ara not unmindful
OF the evil which may rssult from famil-
iarising our people with arbitrary gov
eminent, but we think 10 will be less
than that which would fiow from opening
to these semi-savage peoples all the rights
and pri vileges which territory under our
constitution would b, entitled to.
But while We SHOULD, II we can. keep
the power to protect ours Ives 90 far as
may be against the dangers that lurk in
cur new possessions, We should net for
get that we have assumed certain obll-
cations towari them. We have promised
that they shall to treated humanely and
that they shall be better on than under
Spain. To keep this promise 1t lie not
necessary TO make them our fellow citl-
zsns In the full sense of the term, but II
Is necessary ID give them opportunities
for improving their national and social
condition. We can't shut them out OF
the markets OF this country Simply be-
osuss to admit ttem may cut down the
profits OF few of our people. without
being false to CUR duty to them. II free
trade with them th reatensd the ruin Of
great number of our people there would
he good reason for refusing 1t. But there
Ia no such danger. Indeed, we have 1T
tie doubt, that free trade win benefit
msrs people of this country than 1t will
hurt, and that the few IL will hurt IL win
not turt seriously. We can protect our
selves as much as Is necessary and at the
same time afford these people very sub
stsntial benefits aud opportunities. We
can give them free access to our N arkets;
we can allow them delegates In Cen
gress without votes who can acquaint us
with their wants and wishes. and we
can permit them to . very large ex-
tent to manage their local affairs with
out any injury to us; and these privileges
at least we ought to give them. The Re-
publioans are right. We believe, In their
general oontsntlon that the Porto kioans
should not be accorded all she rights
and privileges that would fiow from
teing put under our constitution. but
they are wrong In refusing them the
markets of this country. They should
have followed the President.

We have a notion that II the Democratic

nothing would have been said about tax

THE pouolAs SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
~ the best known shoe In the world
today Ia undoubtedly made by the w.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co.. OF Brockton.
Mass. The one idea OF this company
has always been TO sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals In every way the s.
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able 20 do this on account OF there be-
ing no middle mans profit. as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
10 the wearer In 60 OF the principal
cities OF the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over i.i0O hands. and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board oil
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed and pay about the best
average wages OF any shoe workers In
the United states. The factory pay
roll amounts to si7.435 per week Thi'
company makes SHOES for men only
and Il Ia their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denvel
