HILL HELD RESPONSIBLE.

One of the anti-imperialst papers or
New England saddles the responsibility
for the decision in the Porto Rican case
In which the government was sustained
on ex-senator Hill of New York. 1t calls
attention to the fact that If Mr.. Hill haa
not had feeling of hostility 20 Mr. Horn
blower of New York that eminent lawyer
would have the place on the supreme
bench now occupied by Mr. Justice White.
who was one of the majority justices in
the Porto Rican case.
Mr.. Cleveland nominated Mr.. Horn
blower and his nomination was quite gen.
orally satisfactory to the Democrats of the
Senate, and to the Republicans also. for
that matter. But Mr.. Hill was opposed to
him, and as Mr.. Hornblower was from
New York and Mr.. Hill was the Senator
from that state senatorial courtesy. pre-
vailed and Mr.. IIiiPs wishes in the mat
ter we're respected.
The President then nominated Mr..
Wheeler II. Peckham, and that nominal
ton was not agreeable to Mr.. Hill. Mr..
Cleveland decided not to nominate an
other man from New York, and so went
to the far South for a candidate. Mr..
White was nominated and Mr.. Hill did
not object 10 him. Mr. Justice White has
proved himself to be a very able judge,
though in the Porto Rican case his course
was disappointing to some of his Demo-
cratic friends. There is no doubt, how
ever, that he was guided by his convic-
lions. Administration Republicans have
as much reason to find fault with
the two Republican Justices who
decided against the administration as
Democrats have to criticfse Mr.. Justice
White for deciding in favor of the admin
istra ton.
1t seems that the conclusion that Mr..
Hornblower would have decided against
the administration is based upon an adj
dress which he delivered a few months
ago. In that address he took the ground
that the theory upon which the admins
tration was proceeding in the PHILIPPINES
was not authorized by the constitution.
The reasons why Mr.. Hill opposed Mr..
Hornbiower were personal and factionai.
Because Of the fact that there were fac
tional quarrels among the Democratic
leaders of New York half dozen years
ago the way has been opened for the
republic to become an empire.

words That Catch the Fancy.

Public writer's and speakers, who are
followed by the general public, catch on

periods as a boy catches the measles"
said a well-known Washingtonian, to a
Star man.
TT Is strenuous now. For the past
few years, the prime favorite has been
passing If a man died, a headline to
his death notice was like this:

AN AGxOsTIC CREED.

The evil that Col Robert G.. Ingersoll
did lives after lim. There is in Cincin-
natl lawyer OF the name of Sparks who
has written creed for a new society
of agnostics. and who proposes to in
augurate a vigorous propaganda of ag-
Mysticism in the United States. He will
spend some time in Buffalo at the ex-
position sowing the seeds of his re
ligton," and afterwards visit various cit
les of the country for the purpose of or
ganizing congregations.
One of the chief features of Sparks
agnostic creed provides an easy way for
divorce, at the pleasure of the woman.
The man pledges himself to allow his
wife to obtain a divorce whenever she
reaches the conclusion that they are a
mismated pair. On her part, the wo-
man pledges herself to bring no children
into the world that are not born OF af-
lection. The man is required, If possible,
to carry insurance on his life for the ben
eft of his wife. Both pledge themselves,
send such children to the agnostic Sun
day school.
Sparks scheme is a blow directed
against society. Belief in God is the
foundation of society," and the home it's
cornerstone. The first he would UNDER
mine by denial of the existence of
God, the second he would desecrate with
his easy divorce plan, which may be
called step in the direction of free love.
And he would teach little children, in a
misnamed Sunday school, that God is a
myth and Heaven a Pigment of the imag-
ination. and that the Bible is fairy tale.
Sparks ridicules Christian faith and says
it is only superstition; he laughs at
Christian hope and says 1t is silly.
Belief in God. faith in his power and
mercy, and hope of an eternity of peace
and happiness have been the impelling
forces in millions OF lives. They have
accomplished more for civilization and
humanity than all other tenets OF all
other religions combined. They have
sustained men in adversely, and enabled
them to face death and the future with
smiling faces. What has Sparks and the
other agnosties to offer In the place OF
this mighty religion which they would
overthrow? Absolutely nothing. They say
there Is no existence beyond the grave;
that death ends all; that there will be no
meeting OF loved ones hereafter; that all
there is in existence is compassed in the
short span of the natural life, at the con-
clusion OF which the soul is snuffed out
like a candle; that man dies like one of
the lower order of animals.
What a ptiful substitute for the great
and rich theology of the followers of
the Living God! Sparks has a right to
think as he pleases respecting religion.
of course. Nobody will try to take that
right away from him. But when he pro-
poses to poison the minds and destroy
the souls of little children by teaching
them there is no God and that the Chris
tian religion is all poppy-cock. that is
quite another matter. Public opinion will
not permit OF any such thing without Wig
orous protest.

SOMEBODY IS WEAKENING.

The announcement that Gov. Nc
Sweeney has rejected the designations of
Senators Tilman and McLaurin does not
cause nearly as much surprise as the an
nouncement that the Senators had re-
signed did. The Morning News said the
day after the Senators resigned that the
public should take notice that the resig-
nations had not been accepted.
The Governors reasons for his action are
very good ones, but there is room for
suspicion that they are not his own. 1t
is a we'll known fact that he is a warm
friend of Senator Tillman, and il is possi-
BILE that he believes that II would be
against the Senator's interests to resign.
A feeling has been cropping out all over
the state, ever since the designations
were sent TO the Governor, that 1t would
serve both senators right to elect new
men in their places. There is no desire
for hot political campaign this year. 1t
is said that this desire is particularly no.
ticeable among the farmers, and they. as
a rule, are Senator Tillman's friends.
Senator Ti1lman takes the position that
the Governor has no discretion in the
matter-that his duty is simply ministe-
rial-but 1t would not be surprising, ell
the circumstances considered, IL he felt
a sense of relief at the Governors action.
He has plenty of backbone. of course, and
is generally ready TO stand by any posi-
ton which he takes. but II he does not
think that he made a mistake in resign
ing he takes a view of the matter differ
ent from that entertained by many Of his
friends. 1t is natural, of course. for him
his resignation, but II the Governor re-
mains firm in the position he has taken
IT is hardly probable that he will lose
the Senator's friendship.
Senator McLaurin has no ground for
complaint II the campaign had gone on
the chances are that he would have been
beaten. II Senator Iillman had gone down
iu defeat Senator McLaurln would not
have won a victory. As pointed out by
Mr.. Henry Watterson. in an Interview IN
the New York Herald few days ago. he
had pitched his battle outside Of the
breastworks of the Democratic party. The
outlook for him in "A Democratic primary
is not encouraging.
The Governor says that the Senator's
can fight their battle next year. There
will be ample opportunity for full dis
cussion then. and It may be that there
viii be such changes Ia public sentiment
in the state by that time that there will
be better chance for Senator McLau-
rim than there is now. though the prob
ability Ct that Is remote unless he shifts
his position somewhat ana relieves him
self OF the charge Of being outside OF
Democratic lines.

A resident of Philadelphia, who took
into his house as a valet a japanese boy,

The gentleman was walking about the

his toe and tore the nail. While the
valet was putting on his masters stock

"A laundering Price for Beans.

a good many years ago, says a writer
in the st. Paul Dispatch, was connect

the restaurant in the railroad station for
our midnight lunch, that being the only
place open at that time of the night.
There were three morning papers, so
quite a number of the newspaper boys
made the place a rendezvous, and we. used

And again as he went through the door

Cults trouble began with that moment
While we were still sitting there the
railroad operator brought in telegram

and was chuekling over the profit on those

Gull read the telegram. All it said was:
"A laundering price for beans. John @.

This was the opening shot. From every
station between that town and st. Louis
came the wall to Gull, "a laundering price

boy not to receive or pay for any more

would pack a dozen choice bricks in

and ship them to Gull. This he did by
both freight and express, charges col

rage.
Now at that time Gull was playing the
market through a Chicago broker, and it
happened that there was a sudden and
severe slump. The broker wired Gull to
put up more margins. Cults boy, under
instructions, declined to receive the mes

the broker closed Cults account at
whopping loss.
This was the last straw Gull went
plumb crazy in earnest this time. He

One of the most difficult tasks confront
ing the new government in the Philip
pines will be found in changing the Off
cial language from Spanish to English.
Spanish has been the official language of
the islands for hundreds of years. All
of the lawyers have been educated in it.
All of the court practice has been in and
through Spanish, and all Of the records
are in that language. 1t is the PROPOSE
ton that Spanish shall continue to be
used for five years, after which time Eng
fish shall be substituted. Meanwhile the
native lawyers and judges are expected
to perfect themselves in English. 1t is
a most difficult language, but five years
ought to be sufficient to prepare for the
