HOW HE WAS KILLED.
Particulars of Tragic Death of Lieu
tenant Morrison.


Hedrick, March 6.-The first partic-
ulars of the tragic death of Lieut.. John
Morrison, Jr., came yesterday in let
ter received by the widow from the
chaplain and a brother officer who was
with him in Luzon. The details were
reported by sergeant who was pres
ent, to the lieutenant who wrote.
Lieut.. Morrison was ordered by Cen
eral Funston to take Is men and make
a reconnaissance near San 1sadore,
about 10 miles from Manila, where he
was stationed. Some distance out they
saw several men and a white flag
across rice field. The lieutenant
viewed the party thru his field glass,
but was not satisfied, and ordered the
men to remain while he went closer for
better observation. He had proceeded
only a short distance over knoll of
ground when he saw a native in am
bush with gun in his hands. Lieut..
Morrison drew his revolver and fired
two shots wounding the Filipino, who
after falling to the ground shot Lieut..
Morrison thru the heart. His men
rushed forward and lifted him from his
horse. He lived a moment after his
men had arrived, and informed them
that he was badly hurt. The ball
struck him in the right side and pass
ed thru the body and thru the heart.
The body was never in the hands of
the enemy. 1t was taken to Manila as
soon as possible and the sad news cab.
led home. The native was captured
and the letter does not say whether he
was fatally wounded or not.
The statements of the officers who
were with Lieutenant Morrison show
that he was brave and competent Off
Ger. He fell in the discharge of his
duty, and his death causes the keenest
grief to all.

The perfect harmony in republican
ranks this year is something wonder
full. Party workers remark about it
and the majority of people accept it
as fact without question.

Democracy sees defeat staring it in
the face. 1t is using every means to
bring Mayor. Phillips back into the
fold. The mayor is done with poll
tics and has no more favors to ask of
the party. The logical question to ask
then, at this stage of the game is,
what does he owe the party? The
mayor knows and everybody else is
cognizant of the fact that this self
same element strove for his defeat
two years ago and had it not been for
support obtained in another quarter,
which the mayor does not hesitate to
acknowledge, he would then have been
defeated.

interested politicians of his party could
bring to bear on him.
The experience of the voters of Ramsey
county with their legislative delegations
for many years past rake it plain that
if the Republican machine politicians are
allowed in the future to dominate local
legislation as they have been doing they
will in the course of time come to as
sumo ownership of the local Offices by
legal enactment.
1t may in all truth be said that the
people Of Minnesota are to be regarded
as fortunate that a Legislature composed
as that was which has just passed away.
and with the strongest disposition to dis
regard its responsibilities, did not accom-
plish much more to the general injury
thar it did accomplish.

The Crime of the Century.

Philadelphia North American.
There is on file in the state department
an official report containing detailed ac-
counts of crimes, committed in China by
white soldiers, so Inonstrous that the
limitations of decency in the use of
words forbid publication of the bare
facts in the public prints This report
confirms all that has been told by cor
respondents and reveals even more than
they dared to write.
1t Is as impossible to denounce as it
is to describe adequately the behavior
in China of the men sent there by Chris
tian nations to demonstrate the superb
ority Of the white mans civilization and
impose it's blessings upon a people Sit
ting in heather darkness. Only some OF
the results Of this twentieth century
crusade can be. told, and the bare state
ment of them is enough to horrify man
kind
One Of the consequences of the invasion
of China by European armies is the
wholesale suicide of Chinese women
The fate that, when predicted for women
i'll the besieged legations, aroused q
frenzy OF vengefu1 rage throughout the
civilized world, has been tie common loe
of Chinese women wherever the brutal
saVageS in Uniform have marched
1t is recorded officially in the records
of the United States government that
the bestial crimes of white soldiers have
been so numerous that women. have dis
appeared from many villages and small
towns and it is difficult to find q female
Chinese between the ages of ten and
fifty years,
If there is a universal law of retrihu-
ton for nations as for men, if justice is
not a myth and the wages of sin never
paid, there win be a reckoning in good
time for the hideous orgy the Christian
powers have held in China.

TRADE EMBARGo

England has followed up the PROPOSE

suing an embargo against American beef
Whether John Bull is following up his
general war policy and extending his
helligerency to trade, or is simply par
ticular as to what he eats and draws the
line at 'embalmed beef" he declines to
state. Certain it is. that American re-
frigerator beef does not go, so far as re-

American beef no longer will follow the

What do We. to bring it on? We do
plenty. We have levied against the
trade of Europe the greatest war tariff
of ancient Or modern times. We have
set up the highest tariff wall ever con-
ceived by the brain Of man. Twenty
years ago it was high, and Republican
administration proposed to bring it down;
a Republican tariff commission in 1888 re-
porting in favor of a reduction OF about
20 per cent. But in 1890 we adopted the
Mckinley tariff which raised the tariff
wall stiH higher; and in 1887 even the
outrageous Mckinley wall received an
other tier of masonry and was decked
out with the Dingley parapet-the most
bristling and hostile trade demonstra-
ton ever made by a civilized nation
So we are beginning to get a taste of
our own medicine. We were the pio-
neers in trade war and commercial en-

HAPPY MATCHES.


To when thy sweetest joys belong.
And who the happy pairs,
Whose yielding hearts and joining hands.
Find blessings twisted with their bands
To soften all their cares?
Not the wild herd of nymphs and SWANS,
That thoughtless fly into the chains,
AS custom leads the way.
If theres:be bliss without design.
Ivies and oaks may grow and twine
And be as blest as they.
Not sordid souls Of earthly mould,
Who drawn by kindred charms of gold,
To dull embraces made:
So two rich mountains of Peru
May rush to wealthy marriage, too,
And make world OF love.
Nor the dull pairs whose marble forms,
None of the melting passions warns,
Can nlingle hearts and hands.
Logs of green wood that Quench the
Goals
Are married just like stole souls
With osiers for their bands.
Not minds of melancholy strain,
Still silent or that still complain,
Can the dear bondage bless
AS we'll may heavenly concerts spring
From two old Iutes with ne'er Z string,
Or none beside. the bass.
Nor can the soft enchantress hold,
Two jarring souls of angry mould,
The rugged and the keen.
SamSons young foxes might as we'll
In bonds of cheerful wedlock dwell
With firebrands tied between.
Nor let the cruel fetters bind
A gentle to a savage mind,
For love abhors the sight.
Loose the fierce tiger from the deer
For native rage and native fear
Rise and forbid delight
Two kindred souls alamo must meet.
'Tis friendship makes the bondage sweet,
And feeds their mutual loves.
Bright Venus on her rolling throne
Is drawn by gentlest birds alone,
And Cupids yoke the doves.
-Rev.AIsaac Waits, d. D., August, 110l.
