Jean De Reszke is not only a great,
but a progressive singer. Heretofore
the dragon 'Fafner" IN "Siegfried" has
been only pastsboard monster,
breathing a few cents worth OF red
fire at each performance. But De
Reszke is to open his new season with
a "Fafper" that wSll hs wonder and
constructed on the automobile princl-
pie. with motor that win give him as
much speed as may be desired and a
bellows that win make the sparks fly
when he belches. In the opera 1t is
the business OF De ReSzke to conquer
the dragon, ana he may be able to
pull of the bout" with the new auto
mobile beast in good shape: still there
is some danger that the apparatus will
go wrong at q critical moment and
the audience be treated to the surpris-
ing spectacle Of the dragon rolling all
over the tenor and humping the pros
cenium arch with resounding whacks.

1t appears that Admiral Sampson
has received S25,41T prize money on ac-
count Of the battle Of Santiago not
withstanding he was ten miles away
and took no part in the lighting, while
Admiral Schley, who was present and
in the thickest of the battle, has re-
ceived only S216. Sampson gets the
money, under the law as ii is inter-
preted in Washington, but there is no
questioning the fact that the people
give Schley the glory. Technically
Sampson was commander chief of
the fleet; actually Schley was the sem
ior officer in command at the time the
great battle was fought and won. The
technicality has given the absentee
commander a handsome fortune and
the actual hero of the fight practically
nothing. There is no doubt that the
matter will be heard from further
when Congress meets.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due


The railroads have been greatly
abused as soulless corporations that
were grinding the life blood out of the
people. The great Galveston disaster
has, however, revealed the fact that
the managers Of these corporations
have hearts which are susceptible of
being touched by the cries of distress.
Their trains were placed at the dis
posal of all those engaged in relief
work on the coast. Provisions and
supplies were carried forward free OF
charge, committees from every sec
ton of the state were furnished trans
portation, and when the refugees from
Galveston began to pour into Houston
and it became a serious question what
was 70 be done with them the railroads
solved the problem by furnishing
transportation without charge to all
who wished to leave and to any point
they wished to go. Grand Master An
derson informs us that but for this
fact Houston would have been overrun
with people who had to be cared for.
and that suffering and distress would
have been largely increased as we'll as
the cost of meeting conditions which
| would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson
desires us, through these columns, to
| thank the different roads for the great
service rendered his committee at
Houston. If it were possible we would
be glad to see parallel columns, in one
of which should appear the acts OF
these railroad corporations in a time
| of great calamity and distress, and in
the other the amount contributed by
the little tWo-by-four demagogues who
are always trying to array the preju-
dices of the masses against any and
every kind of enterprise.-From the

ASK THAT HE BE EXPELLED.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Proceedings
are commenced against Delegate Will
cox of Hawaii, by petitions present
ed in the house, charging him with
treason. A number of letters written
by Wilcox to Filipino leaders are pre-

vaders-the hypocrital Yankees-the
carpet-bag politician Otis and other
like matter occurring in all the letters
1t is also alleged in the petitions that
''Wilcox in his speeches prior to the
election made use of the strongest kind
of antl-American utterances for the
purpose of carrying the election, tell
ing the native Hawaiians that the
Americans had stolen their country
and that a vote for him was a vote for
the restoration of the queen, and that
if he were elected the queen would be
restored; that Wilcox was and is
guilty of treason against the United
States in that he did. as petitioner is
informed and believes. since the an
nexation of said Hawaiian Islands.

States mails certain letters highly
reasonable in their nature, wherein
he did counsel and incite others to
engage in open rebellion against the
United States. and did offer his ser
vices to General Aguinaldo to go to the
Philippine Islands and fight and en-
gage in open rebellion against the
United States
The petitions conclude with: THAT
said Wilcox should be unseated and
expelled because of having written
and uttered reasonable language
