uslnu DoQs as TurnpIts.

The turnspit dogs, writes Alice Morse
Earle in Stage Coach and Tavern Days"
were little patient creatures, whose lives
were spent in the exquisite tantalization
of helping to cook meat, the appetizing
odors of which they shifted for hours
without so much as taste to reward them
at the end of their labors.
The summary and inhuman mode of
teaching these turnspits their humble du'
ties is described in book of anecdotes
published at Newcaste-onTyne in 1899.
The dog was put into the wheel. A burn
ing coal wac placed with him, if he stop.
ped, his legs were burned That was all
He soon learned his lesson.
1t was bard work, for often the great
piece of beef was twice the weight of The
dog, and took at least three hours roast
ing. am glad to know that these hard
working turn-broaches usually grew shrewd
with age, and learned to vanish at the APP
proach of the cook or the appearance OF
the wheel.
At one old.time tavern in New York
little brown Jesse listened daily at the
kitchen door step while the orders were
detailed to the kitchen maids, and he
could never be found till nigLtfall on
roast.meat days.

OUR government should be lenient but
very firm in Its treatment of Agulnaldo.
If some sentementalists are listened to, be
would be turned into hero. He should
be treated humanely but as yiolator Of
law and order, and one who pretended to
be seeking freedom for his people, while
trying to assume the authority of dicta-
tor. His ambition and treachery have
caused the death of thousands Of his
own people and thousands of brave
American soldiers. On account OF no
merit of his own should he receive consid-
Grafton, but only from that principle of
humanity that is embodied in our adj
vanced order of civilization. Agunaldo
should be placed in position to give the
United States no more trouble and to
cause no further trouble in the Philip
pines. His past record of ambition and
treachery demands that he be not trusted.

FATE MET BY CHARLEY ROSS.
Ex.Mayor Tells of the Great kidnapping
Case.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Chicago Inter-O Ocean.
Ex.Mayor Jon Briest, of Trenton, N. j.,
has made a statement of what he knows
about the kidnapping of Charley Ross. He
was brought into the case because it was
believed at first that the boy was hidden
in or about Trenton, and the police want
ed Mr.. Briest's help in searching for him.
Most of his knowledge of the case came
from the Philadelphia detectives. Mr..
Briest says:
"The secret as TO who the kidnappers
were was confined to the heads of the
Philadelphia and New York police de-
partments, and both supposed that they
were on boat plying either on the Della
ware and Raritan or the Pennsylvania
canal, and letters being posted from Tren'
ton, Bristol, New Brunswick and Newark,
tending to confirm the theory.
"The detectives felt so certain that they
would have the kidnappers within few
days, and receive the credit and reward,
that their identity was kept close secret
among themselves. Had the matter been
mace as public as was the Cudahy affair at
Omaha the criminal abductors would have
been arrested within a few days by the
police officers of Newark, Jersey City or
Bayonne. Their theory that the kidnap-
pers were on boat was correct, but It was
not the kind of boat they were LOOKING for,
as it afterwards turned out.
"William Mosher and Joseph Douglas
were the abductors. They had been ped
oilers and engaged in an oil and lamp store
with branch store in Trenton, in charge
of other parties. The wagon was one that
had been used in the business. They
brought Charley from Germantown to
Trenton over the lower Delaware bridge,
and through Bridge street to Hamilton
avenue, and across the State to yatch
they had prepared for the purpose on Rar-
itan bay. The detectives had the right
parties, but they were on the wrong scent
for the boat, and the kidnappers kept
them so by depositing their letters in the
Trenton postoffice and other cities near it.
"Mosher and Douglas no doubt kept
Charley Ross on the boat while they sailed
around Newark, Raritau and New York
bays and adjacent waters, up the Hudson
river on marauding expeditions to main
tain themselves. There he was secure
from prying eyes and gossip neighbors.
"Charley Ross died not more than three
months after his capture from neglect,
homesickness and disease, and bis little
body was buried in the waters of Newark
bay. The body of boy about bis size
and age and dressed in clothes much too
large for him as if they had been purchased
at random was found floating on the bay
and turned over to the authorities Of
Jersey City. Mr.. Ross was called over to

AGUINALDO's CAPTURE.
Richmond News.

Richmond News.
The capture of Aguinaldo is like some Of
the events we read of in romances or the
fanciful legends of old times. Yet it was
completed yesterday by ordinary Amerl'
can citizens termed soldiers.
1t was wonderful feat of shrewdness,
strategy and courage, delightful illustra-
ton Of the dash, the adaptability to cir
cumstances, the disregard of danger and
the fine contempt for foes which make the
American soldier thing of delight and a
Joy forever. We can recall nothing more
thrilling or daring or clever in the annals
of warfare.
1t is strange fact, by the way, that the
general outline of the plan adopted and
executed by General Funston appeared
in syndicate article published in many
newspapers in this country several months
ago. 1t was headed "The Capture of
Aguinaldo," and narrated how three or
four Americans, pretending to be prison
ers, had been conveyed to the stronghold
of the Filipino leader and had surprised
and kidnapped him.
The capture is likely to have important
results in the Philippines and this country.
1t takes from the insurgent Filipinos their
last prop and hope, destroys the last YES
tige of their pretence of government. 1t
is demonstration of courage, enterprise
and resources which must impress them
with the hopelessness of further resistance,
and it is likely to hasten the ending Of the
vexatious fighting and the rounding up
of the last bands Of guerrillas.
In these United States there will be
open or secret CONSERVATION and woe
among those who welcome the disasters
and resent the triumphs of their OVID
country. The Filipino leader has never
been noted for keeping faith with any,
body and it s entirely possible that he
nav be able and willing to betray more or
less eminent American citizens who have
in one way or another been giving him en-
enlargement to hold out against our
forces. 1t would be charming poetic
Justice if the yellow individual who has
been compared with George Washington
should give his admirers taste OF his
quality by exposing them to save Himself
The popularity of the war will be In
creased by this decided success and the
Presidents hands will be strengthened.
Funston may become important as fac
tor in politics. He was already hero
and this new feat will add to his lsurels
and make him tower above his fellows.
He has proved his possession OF the quail
ties the people most love.
What to do with Aguinaldo now we
have him will be question for much de-
bate. The best thing probably would be
to bring him to this country and have HIM
travel around awhile to get an idea of the
power against which he is contendlng and
then send him home as a missionary OF
peace; but it is most likely that he will be
quietly shipped to Guam where he will
have no pretext for posing as martyr
and no opportunity for doing mischief

whether it was the body of the boy
whose fate had touched the hearts of mil.
lions of mothers and fathers throughout
the land am not prepared to say. But l
felt Just as certain that that was the end Of
the unfortunate boy as am that he was
kidnapped. They did not mean to harm
him, but only to hold him, as Pat Grove
did the Cudahy child, until they could get
the ransom in their hands, and then he
would have been sent home or placed
where he could have reached there.
civilian Mosher was a man of ability.
He had children Of his own whom he
loved, and for whom he had striven hard
to earn honest dollars, but poverty had
been the lot of him and his wife said that
they had always been poor and he took
that means to get money to secure some OF
the luxuries of life that others were enjoy.
ing, and which he coveted. He had no
idea of doing harm to the boy, but
thought that he would be ransomej with
in very short time.
douglas was only weak man in Mosh
ers hands and was under his subsection.
The mistake of the detectives was in the
kind of boat the kidnappers were on, and
keeping within themselves the names and
the descriptions of the abductors. Full
and general publicity at the start would
have resulted in their capture and the
restoration Of the boy to his loving and
ALMOST broken-hearted parents.
"On the night of December II, 1875,
Mosher and Douglas broke into the house
of Judge Van Brunt, at Bay Ridge, L. l.,
and were discovered. Mosher was shot
and killed As Douglas lay on the grass
plot where he had been carried wounded
unto death, he said: 1--WE stole Charley
Ross" He was urged to say more, being
assured that Mosher was dead, but he
would not believe it, and died before he
could again open his lips"

CLEAN POLITICS.

There is a strong belief among the peo'
pie that there is and can he no such thing
as clean politics. If not, why not Is 1t
possible that our citizenship can be clean
and that tie organizations through which
the people pronounce their political con-
victiops ave necessarily unclean? To
admit the one is to deny the other.
1t canuot he disputed that there is
strong desre among the people of Virginia,
a desire that is found among all classes
and all parties, TO have cleaner political
methods AID conditions in our State. 1t
was this aee,re that induced many to give
their support to the movement Tor hold
ING constitutional convention, 1t being
the declared if not sincere purpose of the
chief promoters of the convention to at
tain such an end. Democrats and Re
publcans nave alike, become weary OF
and dissL> I'd with the manner in which
political .ampalgus and elections are con-
Quoted IL Virginia. They realize that
party organizations have become nothing
more THAI rings or machines employed to
advance the interests of limited number
of men who compose and are led by these
machines. This conviction is also accom-
panied with knowledge that the party
organizations are employing methods to
hold themselves in power that are not
only well calculated TO undermine and de-
strov the moral tone IF the body polite,
but that are actually 50 doing. These
conditions have been the means for con-
yipcinc many people that politics are nat
urally unclean, and that it is useless for
honest citizens to try to make change,
We do not agree With those who have
reached such a conclusion. While it may
be impossible to remove corruption en-
tirely from our elections and from politics,
if the patriotic citizens Of the Common
wealth will band themselves together in
an honest effort, great good can be ac'
complished
The constitutional convention that will
assemble in June should be made to serve
the high purpose for which it was prmar'
ily called-that of giving the people such
suffrage regulations as will remove the
stain of fraud which has been stamped
upon Virginia elections for so many years.
1t will be useless to say who shall vote,
without providing safeguards to protect
the ballot, to make it sacred and invio-
liable. There should be constitutional
provision to prevent corrupt, partisan Leg
lSlatures from enactng lnlquItOuS elecIiOn
laws that viii give 10 any party or machine
self perpeluating control. 1t will be time
wasted t. restrict suffrage and eliminate
certain classes from politics, if no strong
remedy be provided by constitutional en-
actment * ,inst ballot box frauds and
corrupt election methods. If certain means
are devls41 and employed to properly
punish lien who commit frauds upon the
ballot-box and tiOse who undertake to
corrupt vu,eis by bribery or intimidation,
elections viii become clean, and politics
comparatively clean.

The capture of Aguinaldo by General
Funston was cleverly planned and bril-
liantly executed. 1t will make Funston
the hero of the day. May we not hope
that his head will not be turned and he be
led to small acts of folly that will make
him subject of ridicuie, as have been
some of the heroes of the Spanish War
We know not what reward will be given
him by the Government, but the people
will demand that he be treated right.
