THE REpREsENTATIvE,s DUTY.

THE REPRESENTATIVES, DUTY.
The action OF Hon, Seth ", Brown,
q republican member of congress from
Ohio, In introducing a Philippine rCso-
luton NntRgonistic to tho policy OF his
patty raises tho question; What Is
the duty Of q representative?
II Mr., Brown had been elected upon
platform declaring In favor of the
permanent retention Of the Philippines
he could not have introduced the reso-
luton that he did Ia resolution prom
islng independence to the Flllpinos
when capable and stable free govern
ment Is establlshed) without repudiat-
Ing the promises made TO his constl-
tuents A platform is worse than use
less II II Is not binding upon the con-
science OF the representative for II 1t
is not obeyed 1t deceiyes the voters
SO long as tho people are the sover-
eigns and the representatives are the
servants chosen, not to think for them
but to act for them, platform pledge
should be sacredly observed. But Mr.,
Brown was elected to congress In 1893
and was not reelected last year. AT
the time Of his election the treaty with
Spain had not been made and his party
had not announced any policy on the
Philippine question. The introduction,
therefore, Of resolution in line with
the democratic position, bnt antagon-
istic to the position of the admlnlstrn-
tlon cannot be considered as a betrayal
Of the confidence OF his constituents.
Mr. Brown also warns his party
against any attempt to repudiate the
promise Of independence made to Cuba,
Speaking OF the resolutions adopted
by congress, he says
Tho man who says we should have
resortCd to this double dealing in
April, 1893, now very logically and
very naturally goes u step further and
says, we ought to violate the pledge
we then made and take Cuba whether
she wants to come TO us or not, What
more miserable, more inhuman, more
unpatriotlc course could be advocated?
II Is tho climax Of greed without one
spark Of conscience. II Is the acme OF
avarice, without single redeeming
feature. It Is the doctrine of free
booter Of the world. 1t Is q code Of the
pirate Of all the seas"
In administering this warning the
representative from Ohio is also with
in his legal rights because his party
unanimously approved of the pledge
made In April, 1893, and has never op-
emily repudiated the pledge. AS late as
last summer the republican national
convention formally renewed the
promise. 1t is encouraging TO find O
republican member Of congress far
sighted enough to see the dangers into
which the administration Is hurrying
the country.

orner of the house. This makes a
small front yard which has but one
gate.
1t is supposed that the two monster
alligators were prowling along the
irrigating ditch in search of food
when they encountered the foot bridge,
and in crossing over it they may have
pushed the little gate open. Miss Sa-
vanah Walston was sleeping on a
cot on the little porch in front of the
open door of her mothers room, and
a little negro boy 6 years OF age was
lying under a china tree in the yard.
Mrs. Walston, who was sick at the
time, occupied a bed in the parlor of
the cottage, and her little baby was
lying in a cradle within easy reach of
her hand. She says that she heard the
alligators for some moments before
she called her daughter. The moon
was shining almost as bright as day,
and when Miss Savannah was aroused
by her mother she raised up on her
cot and put one of her hands on the
head Of n Of the monsters. At that
instant a little dog that had ran out
of Mrs. Walston's room was snapped
between the jaws of another alligator
at the young girls side.
In her fright she sprang over one
of the monsters in order to reach her
mothers bed. Both of the alligators
pursued her across the floor and one
of them turned the cradle over. The
little boy fell out on the carpet. Miss
Savannah had reached the bed in safety,
but when she heard the cries of her
baby sister she sprang back on the
carpet and rescued the child almost

head between it's jaws, and the women
could plainly see the child's blood
streaming over the carpet.
TT add to the terror of the scene,"
says Mrs. Walston, 'the other alligator
seized the little negro's legs and they
tore the child's body to fragments be-
fore our eyes. We did not know what
to do. At n moment we thought of
springing out on the floor and trying
to escape and run to the house Of a
neighbour"
While the women were h~esitating in
their fright a curious thing happened.
On the previous day Mrs. Walston had
ordered a large mirror which she had
set on the floor against one Of the
walls of the parlor. The male alliga-
tor caught the reflection of his own
image in this glass and with a furious
below he plunged at it and shivered
the costly mirror to fragments. This
seemed to enrage the creature and he
began to below and run about over
the house, o%verturning everything that
zane In his way. Miss Savannah says
that she threw pitchers, wash bowls,
glass tumblers. and boxes of matches
into the monsters mouth and he
would crush and swallow such things
as if they were delicacies that tickled
his palate.
While the smaller of the two crea-
lures was overturning the stove and
destroying the kitchen furniture the
other remained in the parlor terroriz-
ing the two women. He would doubt
less finally have succeeded in overturn-
ing the bed if Miss Savannah had not
adopted a plan Of battle which put

Flagstaff, a comfortable logging

passage that runs farther in, till

AZURE in the caves, even in the height
of summer. is about the freezing
point. Many visitors have been pros
trated by the cold after making too
long a stay. The ice, which is as hard
as ice can be, fills every nook and
Granny beyond the short black hall
way that leads inward from the en-
trance. When dug away in whatever
quantity, it seems to grow again from
behind in the manner of the creep of
glaciers. The depth or size of the de-
post is not known. 1t is even be-
lieved that there is an underground
ice AXE of immense dimensions. How
the deposit was formed is a puzzle
that has not been solved by the geo.
logical ice miners. The region is al
most destitute of surface or we'll
water and the mean temperatures are
far above the thermometric figure that
would appear to render such a deposit
possible. But the ice is there and the
product Of the unique mine has been
sold daily in Flagstaff.
