Neighboring nations regard his constant

sion to 1.-The offensive flank which he
is creating In the new navy" as inti

he proposes to enter upon as soon as he

tons of discomfort on the part of the
victims of that policy. They do not like
it. The kaiser is alternating his own peo-
pie for himself and other nations from
Germany. He is trying to force his peo-
pie into courses which are economically
Improbable. and are. at any rate, be-
You'd the resources Of the empire.
1t will be we'll for Germany. and es-
pecially fortunate for the house of Ho-
henzollern if Kaiser William can come
to understand that no monarch is real
ly strong except in the strength Of his
people and in the confidence which gives
him the command of that strength. There
is no more glamour about the king bust
ness. The monarch is simply gentle
man whom the custom Of the country
makes it's chief magistrate. Everybody
is humbug. and a monarch only makes
a laughing stock of himself by referring
to it. The Germans have perfect right
to select any one for king whom they
may prefer. or to entirely abolish the Of
flee it they think best. and they have the
power to enforce that right-and they
know it. There is no question Of the
earnest patriotism Of the kaiser He
asks no sacrifice which he would not
gladly himself make for his people, There
is RS doubt of the real moral exaltation
of the man. He believes himself to be
all that he saws he is. But he is peril

of common sense from the rest of the
world. For his own sake and that of his
people let us hope that he does not get
over on the wrong side.-San Francisco

And starts the rebs on a run;
And he'll fight

Or December or June.
Or any old time: he.
Lives on fighting. See?
Eats it, sleeps with it. drinks it,
Thinks it.
But never talks it, just does it!
Whoop-
And he's got a scoop
On the foe.
He doesn't know
What it Is not to go
After a reb when ones in sight,
Day or night.
And he'll swim a river
Without a shiver.
Through volley of shot
That will make the water hot!
He's always in front. where
The circumambient air
Is chuck full Of lead.
But he keeps his head.
And in a minute or two
He's beating hullabaloo
On the rebs' coat-tails.
He never fails.
And he doesn't know
What 1t is to go slow.
OF all the fighters, trained or raw.

DEATH OF BROTHER" JASPER

The dispatches the other day an
nounced the death of Brother" Jasper.
the negro preacher. at Richmond Va.
The old man was 80 years of age, and in
his time was the foremost of colorei
preachers. That was before the colored
men designed for the clergy We're edu-
Gated at colleges. but in spite Of their
advantages Rev. Jasper died the most
celebrated colored preacher in all the
world. Born in slavery almost at the
beginning of the century he had few
advantages, but laid hold Of the Scrip
lures in way that made him a terror
in argument. He not only held that 1.-The
sun do move" but insisted up to the
time of his death that the earth was fiat
and square. When he organized his
church at Richmond, after the war. he
drew to himself an immense congre-
cation that soon numbered 1000 negroes
His oratory was of the most picturesque
sort. and it was in 1878 that he delivered
the sermon that made him famous. 1t
made such stir, owing to his unique
line of argument and his quotations from
the Bible to support his theories, that he
was induced to go to New York on a
lecturing tour, and there he again de-
livered his sun do move" discourse. He
took his text from Exodus XIV. iii: The
Lord is a man of war. The Lord is
his name" Insisting that the earth is
square. fiat and immovable, that the
sun rises in the east and moves toward
the west, where it sets, Rev. Jasper sail,
on his favorite theme:
THE Bible says the sun stood STILL Is
anybody going to say the sun was stand
ing still before Joshua told it to stand
still? Do you think Joshua would have
asked the privilege to stop the sun if she
had not been moving? This morning
when the sun rose she was over there
pointing to the east). How in the name
of God could the sun get from that sI.le
of the house over to this (pointing to the
west unless it moved? Now, Solomon
was certainly a scholar. Do you think
he was the man who said: The sun
ariseth and goeth down and hasrene:
back to the place she moved FROM? 1t
is nonsense to say that the sun does not
move. Every man who ever read the
Bible knows the sun do move"
Notwithstanding Rev. Jasper's lack Of
education, the quaint absurdity with
which he used big words and his vast
dignity, his faith in the Scriptures was
such and his sincerity SO intense that
the thousands upon thousands who went
to hear him out Of curiosity could rot
find anything to laugh at in either the
man or his doctrines. The truth is tina t

GOVERNOR ORMAN VETOES
FIRE INSURANCE BILL

Denver, Colo, April 2O.-Governor
Orman exercised his veto power for
the first time Thursday. vetoing House
Bill No. 166 (Ballinger), fixing the lia-
bility of fire insurance companies at
the full face value of the policy i'll
the destruction of real estate. The
governor declares that the measure is
a premium on incendiarism and vicious
class legislation. Governor Thomas,
two years ago, vetoed n similar bill.
His action met the approval of the in
surance commissioner. Following is
portion of the governors veto:
''In all probability, the main object
of a law of this character. and the
principal argument advanced in sup
port of Il measure of this kind, is the
desire to compel insurance companies
to adjust and settle losses without be-
ing compelled to resort to litigation,
in order that the true amount Of the
loss may be determined. 1t is argued
by reason of the fact that insurance
companies are often dilatory, and
many times arbitrary. in making prop
er adjustment with legitimate claim
ants, that some such measure as this
is necessary in order to protect policy
holders from being compelled to ad-
just their losses on the basis offered
by the insurers, or be compelled to re-
sort to the courts for an adjudication,
which adds an increased burden upon
the insured and also entails great de-

AGUINALDO'S PROCLAMATION
TO THE FILIPINO INSURGENTS

Manila. April 2O.-Following is Ag-
pie. made public last evening:
Il believe l am not in error in pre-
suming that the unhappy fate to which
my adverse fortune has led me is not
surprise to those who have been IA
miliar with the progress of the war.
The lessons taught with n full mean
ing and which have recently come to
my knowledge, suggest with irresist-

age.

which they find their advance along

lay in the final adjustment Of his
claims.
while there is much foundation for
an argument of this character, still l
am convinced that a measure Of this
nature should not be allowed to be
come law and should have no place
upon our statute books.
I'VE have the advantage of the ex-
perience gained by other states where
such n law has been enacted and be-
come operative, and the universal tes-
timony is that it has materially i'll
creased the rate of insurance and the
ratio of losses has become vastly larg-
err, giving rise to the supposition that
such n law operates in favor of the in
cendiary and TO the detriment of the
honest man, thereby compelling the
honest men to pay for the frauds per-
petrated by the dishonest man. The
bill Is also vulnerable to the objection
that it is class legislation, in that it
applies only to improvements upon
real property and not to personal prop
erty, for it specifically says any i'm
provements upon real property CIV
ing the owner of that class of proper
ty undue advantage over the owner Of
personal property, who, without
doubt, would be required to pay the
same rate for protection as the owner

",The country has declared unmistak-
