THERE are certain rules Of war com

tions for the government Of the United

That troops who fight in the uniform

EVERY democrat and populist should
congratulate the republicans on their
cnange of front, in their opinions OF
Aguinaldo since his capture by Fun
ston. During the last presidential
campaign we we're told by oil the re-
publican papers that the Luzon hero
was q villain, a cut throat, a brlbe
taker. But 1t Is different now. They
have endorsed the facts as given TO the
people by the opposition press. You
remember how the hair-raising story
that Agiunaldo had plotted to massa-
ere all the foreigners In Luzon In one
night, and by mere accident the
scheme was frustrated, the lives Of
thousands saved, This was campaign
thunder then. The truth of history is
with the opposition press. The re-
publlcans are now engaged in manu-
featuring campaign lye for the next
campaign. 1t Is the same old party
that it was two years ago. Let the un'
prejudiced republican compare notes
with the press Of the two great parties
during the last campaign and dis
cover who was truthful and who was
not,

ALTRouGn in the blindness Of their
malice they are as yet unable to see it,
the saloon men and their fool friends
are doing more to keep alive the agi-
tatiOn against them than the ranting
prohibitionist or the more dramatic
raider and smasher. In evidence of
this it is only necessary to cite the out
rageous treatment of Mrs. Nation in
Kansas City recently at the hands of a
police judge, The saloons were open
on Sunday morning there just as much
in violation of law as If they had been
in Kansas, and this same police Judge
was responsible for this violation more
than anybody else, And the disgust.

of himself and the silly malice of the
magistrate have so aroused the good

AT last the c2ar has banished Count
Leo Tolstoi from Russian dominions.
1t Is but few weeks since he was ex-
communicated from the Greek church
So far as anything can be done In an
official way to humiliate him 1t has
been done. But these prosecutions
will have different effect from that
which is desired. A course of action

Tolstoi Is probably erratic and per-
haps some Of his ideas impractical, he
is sincere and honest old man who
may be perhaps justly ranked as the
grandest old man of Russia
Several years ago Bob Ingersol
declared he WAS a christian
something like Christ. This is true.
Chrlst was denominated a visionary
and impractical man at his time. And
1t is true the world, nor even the
church, nor men and christians have
none of them followed very closely
his teachings In fact the actions of
men and nations claiming to Oe christ
ian are 80 very far from his example
and precept as to almost make the
claim to Christianity seem sacriliedge
or burlesque. But for all this christ
ianity has blessed and helped the world

If, AS Governor General Allen Of
Porto Rico says 1t is true that The
Porto Rcans are unused to honest
methods" why does not he and the
rest of superior Americans give them
a sample. There is no better way of

and this government make u start by
keeping faith with them in the mat
ter Of plain duty" Then let them
follow 1t up by an honest effort to in
interpret the constitution Alright and

BRYAN's COmmoner has the follow
ing. "There is treason in Great Brit.
ain as well as treason in America.
There are British traitors as well as
American traitors. There are copper.
heads in Great Britain as we'll as
copper heads in United States; and
strange to say, these copperheads,
and these traitors whether in Great
Britain or America, base their protests
on a principle that has been regarded
by all the civilized world as eminently
sound, The London Spectator re-
Gently had this editorial: The Beers
who are sustaining the cause of ma
tionalities all the world over and not
merely the cause Of their own freedom,
have decided that not all the sufferings
Of their women and children, the de-
vastation of their country and hard
ships of q prOtracted campaign are
comparable with the calamity OF a sur
render that involves the loss of their
liberties, The last tattered shred Of
independence Is u grim price to pay
for peace. Nothing in all the tragedy
Of the war is quite 30 bitter as the
thought that an English govern
ment could offer such an alternative to
a white people, and the decision of our
enemy, however terrible its conse-
quences, is one which Englishmen,
whatever their views on the war, must
respect"

duty to state to the pablo, and particu-
larly that portion of the public which
did not witness the race. but has q
general knowledge Of boats, just what
was done, and let them determine for
themselves tho was at fault.
As we were approaching the finish line,
both boats close hauled ON the port tack,
the schooner to windward, Nth estdb-
lished orerlap, Capt. Sowle gave warming.
and threw his wheel hard down. The
schooner did the same (although not
obliged to do so), and when both boats
were head to the wind, the "wave
Crest's' port bow struck the schooner's
starboard quarter, her bowsprit across
the main rigging, thus demonstrating
beyond all question that the schooner
had established an overlap, for II such
had not been the case, they never could
have come together in that'position.
As far as am able to learn, the owners
OF none of the other boats make any
claim to the race. They are satisfied to be
recorded as finishing as has been pub
lished in your paper.
The race was an informal one, for fun,
there being no restrictions or time allow
ance. The "Wave Crest" is forty foot
sloop; the "Lorelei" is forty foot
schooner. Had we been in reg uIar race,
we should be entitled to considerab BILE
time allowance, according to the rules of
the club governing the race.
1t is well known by everybody present
that the "Wave Crest" crossed the start
ing line first and the "Lorelei' finished
first, and feel that you were justified In
publishing the account of the race as
you did.
l can assure Capt. Sowle that nothing
did occur In the last race that has eguHe0
any feeling on my part, and that should
there be another trial, shall be very
glad to start the "Lorelei".

A Careful Man.

A wealthy Glasgow merchant died re-
Gently. He was most methodicsl man
in business matters and his domestic life
was singularly happy one. In going
through his papers his son came across a
copy OF the letter in which his father had
proposed to his mother some forty years
ago.
The letter inclosed balance sheet OF his
business for the preceding five years and
a clear statement OF his financial position
and prospects. 1t set forth his affection
in terms OF studied moderation, and asked
the lady to enter with him upon life
partnership.
The postscript however was remarkable
for its caution. 1t ran: "P. S. This Of

Penney Family Reunion.

CLIFTON, Sept. 2 (speciaD-The TWEEN
tieth reunion of the Penney family was
held Aug. II, at the town hall in Hancock,
with Mrs. Isadora Wooster as hostess. 1t
was just the right kind of day for the
fifty-one descendants OF the Penney name
that gathered to thoroughly enjoy them
selves.
The largest part of the company went
by train and were from Bangor, Brewer
and Clifton. The dinner was spread in
the upper hall.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, E. j. Penney. Prayer was
offered by Rev. G. Fl. Salley. After the
usual order of business, the following
officers were chosen: President, E. j.
Penney; secretary, Bernice Brimmer !;
treasurer, Lester A. Penney; committee
on arrangements, e. III. Ford, M. F.
Chick, G. w. Brimmer; committee on
entertainment, Evie p. Chick, Esther
Foster.
REGULATIONS by Pearl Penney and Edith
Joy were much enjoyed. AT the close of
the meeting M. F. Chick offered the fol-
lowing resolutions of respect:
Whereas, In the course of Divine Provi.
dence, death has entered our ranks since we last
met, and it becomes US who survive to enjoy the
privileges of this day, to pause for moment
amidst the glad cheer OF this occasion and offer
a thought of kindly remembrance of those who.
while they lived, were a blessing TO us and the
world, and whose departure from our earthly
eompanionship causes us to sincerely mourn.
Mrs. Abigail Graves, Mrs Esther Graves,
Mrs. Ruth a. Jordan and Ernest A. Penney
have passed from earth ard our greeting within
the year The two former at our last meeting
were the oldest living representatives of the
Penney family. They were daughters of Ben
iamin Penney, one of the founders of the
name "a represented here to day. They were
widely known nd highly respected as earnest,
consistent Christians. Mrs. Ruth A. Jordan
was taken away In middle life, leaving hus-
land and daughter and a. host of friends to
mourn the loss of one whose life was a bles sing
to all who knew her.
Ernest A. Penney lived in a distant state
(Pennsylvania), ana also died in middle life at
a time when he was fast growing in popular
favor, as successful and honorable business
man.
Resolved, That in the death of these, we sim
cerely mourn, and while we can no more enjoy
their kindly greeting on earth, we will ever
cherish their memory and thank Him, the Civ er
of all good, for the influence of their lives.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions
be placed on file, also furnished the local papers
for publication.
The next reunion will be with Mrs. c.
HI. Ford, at East Eddington.
