Standing by the man who has died
for the nation, We are all today Amerl-
cans, and nothing but Americans. AS
the blood OF the martyr is the seed OF
the church, the tragedy Of Mr.. McKn-
ley's death should strengthen the foun-
dations OF the Republic by bringing
closer together all who love free insti-
tutions and giving fresh power to old
ideals and aspirations. His touching
prayer-"Thy kingdom come, Thy viii
be done'-should be the Inspiration for
the revival Of a higher Amerlcanism
that VIII know no rivalry but that Of
bringing our republican institutions TO
the loftlest attainable level and of
making our common country better
greater and more glorious than ever
before

From many parts Of the country
comes the complaint that school room
accommodation Is insufficient to supply
the demand. The complaint is both
encouraging and discouraging. II Is
encouraging because It means there is
an increasing interest In educational
matters on the part Of parents and
children, and that common school
education must be the attainment as
well as the right Of every American
child. The Encouragement is not very
great because 1t simply means tenn
porary inconvenience. It means some
dilatorlness on the part Of school
boards In providing educational faclll-
ties. but nothing more. But the dilatori-
ness should be done away with Just
as soon as possible, for there is al
ways danger In temporary neglect OF
performance Of any duty that it may
become permanent.

An English correspondent, supposed
to be Moberly Bell, managing editor Of
the London Tines describing the state
funeral at Washington, says the mourn
Ing Of the American people over Pres
dent McKlnley's death Is unquestion-
cbly genuine, but he cannot but note
the absence OF mourning costumes
omong the people. What struck him
most was the almost gala appearance
Of the crowds. The DOMINIC OF mourn
Ing emblems, for personal and public
bereavement Is very much less in
America than IN England. In the latter
country Il goes to the extent Of hiring
mourners at private funerals. To the
American mind this is the height Of
absurdlty Mourning is OF the heart
and Is often deepest and sincerest
where there Is least outward sign.
1t seems that Mrs Bresci, the widow
OF the man who assassinated King
Humbert, has been ordered to quit New

that she and her children are being

In her rights and so long as she IL law
abiding and does not incite to crime she
is as much entitled to the protection Of
the law as any other person In New
Jersey. To expel her from the state
when she is committing no offense and
purposes TO commit none would be little
less than anarchy Itself Indignation
at Czolgosz and detestation Of his crime
should not cause the people to lose their

OUR ELECTIONS.

If we would determine the char
acter of stream we must 60 to the
fountain. So it is useless and foolish
for men to complain of wrongs and
expressions in municipal, state, or
national government, if they do not
take an interest in elections, or vote
their righteous sentiments. What
we 7o0nld have, we may 60 long
way toward having, if we do our
duty at the polls. Next Tuesday
one week is election day in our
midst. Let us inquire what the
needs of our town are, in its public
schools, in its police force, in its
streets, and all other departments
presided over by our duly elected
or appointed officers. The school
directors are, to very large eX-
tent, responsible for the time, sue
cess, progress and up-to.date con-
dition OF our schools, and we need
directors that are intelligent and
wise enough to know their duty,
and have courage to do it, that our
schools shall be free from all un-
wholesome, restraining, corrupting,
or damaging influences, and shall
constantly grow in effectiveness and
power. Our police force must be
ready aud honorable enough to dis
charge their whole duty, according
to their solemn oath, without fear
or favor TO any one-a strict, i'm
partial oversight of all affairs and
conduct, and the vigorous suppress
sion of all evil, and violations OF
law. That is what the good citi-
zens want-what all need-and it
is going to be demanded until it is
obtained. Our streets need to be
gradually paved, and we want to
have that thought dominant in the
minds of our city fathers until the
good work begins. Our people are
proud of our town. They have a
right to be. 1t is very rare that
you see any place where residents
take such good care of their houses
and surroundings. We are glad to
see it. Now let the good work go
on. X.

DEMOCRACY OF RENDRIOKS.

Want To-day.

A nobler Democrat than Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, never
lived, says the atlanta Constitution.
In recent speech Indlana's pres
ent Democratic leader, Hon. John
w. Kern, said of him
"The Democracy of Hendricks
was the Democracy of the Kansas
City Convention. If living, his
voice would have rung out i'll the
last campaign IN behalf of those
principles always dear to his heart.
But while the Democratic party is
still the conservative party, as it
was in the days of Hendricks, it is
as ready now as then to- strive to
find common ground upon which
all Democrats who believe in con-
stitutional, government may stand
in coming conflicts.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ?, 1901.

The government has opened the
bids for raising the battleship Maine
from Havana harbor. There is a
great disparity in the offers. Swartz
Foundry, of New Orleans, will do
the work for SS67. 900, while Cham
berlain & Co., of Chicago, made a
proposal 70 remove the wreck for
nothing, and to give the govern
ment three per cent. of the sale
of the material in the form oi
souvenirs. The plans for raising
the wreck are quite as astounding
as the difference in the bids. One
contractor suggests a balloon, 9TH
ers would employ Golfer dams. while
one contractor believes the work
can be done easier with air bags.

BENTON'S LOSS,
Christian I. Moore Passes Away Monday
Evening.

Death walks with impartial feet;
every home is subject to the visitation
of the grim reaper. Oft times 1t comes
without any premonltion. We can
not tell, we do not know the number
of our days. Another occurrence
which is deeply amented and which
has cast a gloom over the entire
neighborhood in which he resided.
and has caused all who knew him to
bow their heads IN sorrow, is the death
of Christian l.. Moore, well known
and highly esteemed resident of
Benton. The end came shortly after
seven o'clock Monday evening. Mr..
Moore came into the world eighty
four years ago, his birth having
occurred in Sugarloaf township No
vember "a, 1916. Until he attained
manhood he assisted his father on the
farm. Some years later he embarked
in the mercantile business in Benton,
and carried it on successfully until
advanced years compelled retirement.
Mr.. Moore was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Charlotte Fritz and
his second Miss Elizabeth Yorks. The
former died thirty-six years ago and
the latter has been dead for nearly
seventeen years. The surviving men,
bers of the family are two sons and
one daughter: w. H. Moore, of this
town; Emanuel Moore, of Town Hill;
and Miss Margaret Moore, who has
been taking care of her father at
home.
The funeral will be held this morn
ing at half past ten from the Benton
Methods, church, and interment will
be made at St. Gabriels.

AGAINST THE LIBEL BILL.

At a meeting of the executive
committee of the State Democratic
Editorial Association in Harrisburg
on Tuesday evening, resolutions
were adopted emphatically disap-
proving of the change in the libel
law of the State, for which bills are
now pending in the Legislature.
The object ofthese bills is to muzzle
the press and stop the criticism OF
machine men and methods, which
has been going on for some time,
and which was not pleasant reading
for the parties concerned.

Cuba Libre.

Ouba Llbre.
The only way for the admins
tration to get around the solemn
pledge of the United States to leave
Cuba free, is to incite some disor-
der, as an excuse for prolonging
the military occupation of the
island. This is the way it was
managed in the Philippines.
1t is quite true that we had made
no formal pledges to the Filipinos,
for the reason that very few people
in the United States knew anything
about them and they were too far
away for us to interfere i'll their be-
half, though their attitude toward
Spain was similar to that of the
Cubans. But any government with
old fashioned ideas, when the Span
ish power at Manila had been de-
stroyed, would have put itself into
friendly and helpful relations with
the inhabitants, for the purpose of
assisting them to establish govern
ment of their own. Instead, the
administration refused to acknowl-
edge that the inhabitants had any
rights and Immediately got into a
quarrel with them that has led to a
continued war and the claim of alb
solute sovereignty.
This is precisely what some Re-
publican agitators wish to bring
abont in Cuba now. This govern
nent has expressly disclaimed any
intention 'to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said
island, except for the pacifcation
thereof" 1t cannot be pretended
that the island is not pacifed. Per
feet order prevails and a convention
OF lawfully elected delegates is en-
gagged in the establishment of per-
manent government. Congress has
already recorded the determine
ton, when that is accomplished, tc
leave the government and control
of the island to its people. We
must, therefore, prepare to evacu-
ate the island, unless we can pick
a quarrel with the Cubans.
Various preteXts for quarrel are
! suggested. The most prominent
one is that the Cubans are "un-
grateful" That is, they have
taken this country at its word and
have gone ahead to establish a gov.
ernment of their own, as free and
independent nation. They have
not provided in their constitution
for military protectorate by the
United States or suzerainty over
their international relations. After
their long struggle for Cuba Libre
they have not offered to become 6
mere dependency Of the United
States. For this reason it is urged
at Washington that their constitu
tion ought not to be acknowledged
and that the military occupation
should be continued in spite o
them.
The Cubans, as we know, are
proud and high-spirited people. I
they find that the government O
the United States is playing then
false, it will not be hard to provoke
them into an attitude of antagonism
that will enable the President tc
say that the island is not yet paci
fed and the troops cannot be with
drawn. We do not believe tht
President is party to this conspir
acy, but it is for him to defeat it
for its consummation would be ;
consuming disgrace. The Ameri
can people submitted to great los
and suffering to make Cuba free
they will not submit now to have i
deprived of its freedom Times.

officials that the greater portion Of

Spain, but really to make up the
deficit that would.have existed long

Kinley is one of the chief high
