of waves and winds, are hundreds of

merchant service and occas onally picked
up and reported to the photographic Of
noes of these governments. This is in
the interest of a scientific research insti-
tuted a few years ago to determine the
direction taken by bodies coming under
the influences Of streams and currents

The methods employed are simple and
the results, obtained are expected to
prove OF inestimable value to commercial
interests generally, while removing many
doubtful questions arising out of the tor
tUous drift of derelicts which heretofore
have been regarded as correct examples
OF the directions ships would take when
abandoned to the influences of ocean cur

by his powers as a healer is farm

We let our hogs in large pastures to

the hogs on to them. they will feed

1t is to be said to the credit OF
Postmaster General Smith that he
has always been an opponent Of Quay
10 Pennsylvania policies and for that
reason Washington probably at,
taches too much Importance to his
message of sympathy to the monster
mass meeting at Philadelphia last
wees to organize fight against Quay
rule as it has manifested itself in the
great franchise steal. MIR Smith
spoke right out;
1t is time for new Declaration of
Independence. Philadelphia ought
to ris' in her might against the job
bers in her public rights and the
ravisbers Of her sacred safeguards of
law.
But it does rot follow that be
spoke for the Mckinley administra
ton or that his message has any more
Significance than reiteration of his
own long time views. The President
is not by nature sympathizer With
thieves but he Goes rot go out of his
way to fight them, 10 all his public
career be hes never been identified
VITA such organized scoundrelism rs
that of the Quay machine, nor has be
been man that such scoundrelism
particularly feared, His disposition
would he to DO his duty manfully if
forct to face the scoundrelisn, but
otherwise he would keep clear of it.
And that is in all probability his at
titude now.

An appeal fitting to the day was Is
sued Yesterday by the seven anti-im-
perialist leagues of the country and
signed by such men as Carl Schurz,
Bishop Hall of Vermont, Samuel l.
Clemens, Wheeler ii Peckham, Will
liam D Uo.ells, Bishop Spsldirg of
Peoria, III, Bishop Ryan of Alton,
III. President Bacon, ex-Gov Hor-
ace Boes and d II Chamberlain, II w
Lamb, Profs Norton and Sunni er
and macy others. 1t denies that the
battle against the adoption Of
British and European ways of deal
ing with other peoples is lost. The
wait hss been for those who voted
for Mckinley while disappearing his
policy to make their disapproval now
and for the supreme court to right
the course of the ship of state, Both
these hopes being disappointed, the
appeal urges "all lovers of freedom to
organize in defense of human rights
now threatened by the greatest free
government in history. The
incoming congress is rot yet
committed to the policy which has
prevailed so far" The hole issue is
admirably stated in these words:
In organized society there is no lib.
erty that is not constitutional liberty
men in America, where we have only
to fear he absue of power by our fell
low citizens, we all rely on coLsti-
tutions, national and state, to protect
our rights. We cannot coinceive an
American community without these
safeguards. Do not the Inhabitants
of Luzon need Bgairst Us the protec-
ton that We need sgainst ourselves.
LET it be remembered, said
the continental congress, that il has
ever been the pride and boast of
America that the rights for which she
cootended were the rights of human
tature.' When this country denies
to millions of men the rights which
We have ever claimed, not only for
ourselves but for all men, its policy
is suicidal.
These be wholesome words, truly,
for this Fourth of July season. The
Leagues are right in believing that
the American people will yet come to
the support Of the truths, but how or
when no man can see. The address
points out how far wrong we have
gone, in giving the President power
over the r ilpinos as despotic as that
IF the Russian czar. with no consti-
luton. no law, nothing but his own |
)enevolccce to fetter him, and in the |
