rem, Dayton, o., under the, title "Aaar'
chy's Hotbed," speaks as follows:
The legalized saloon is the hot.bed of
anarchy. This is a fact we'll known to all
well-informed people.
Nine-tenths of the saloons trample upon
the laws OF the land. Authorized and
protected by law, they defy and outrage
the laws selling to minors and on the
Sabbath day, and even mobbing those
who seek to enforce the law against
them. BY so doing they are the cham
pions of law.essness. They, inculcate in
the minds of our youth a disregard and
contempt for all law. and are the breed
ers and wet nurses OF anarchy.
Will the American people and especially
I Christian church recognize these facts
and act accordingly? May God grant.
just now public sentiment Is, thorough
ly aroused against anarchy. This Is well.
Were it otherwise, in the presence ct the
anarchists recent nonstrous crime, we
might well despair Of the life of the re-
public.
The death of President Mckinley at
the hands of an anarchist has thoroughly
aroused the people :. and the univer-
sal voice declares that anarchy must be
driven from the country or eXterminated.'
This is well, as far as it goes.
But this excitement, instantaneously
aroused, will soon die out; this fiery in.
dignation will soon consume itself, and If
the breeder and wet nurse of anarchy,
the saloon, is still legalized and permit
ted to go on doing its. hellish work, there
will be a new litter of anarchists begotten
every decade, and the life of the Govern
ment still imperilled.
This, then, is the lesson, to our wise
men, and especially to the church, from
Anarchy killed our President! The tap
root, the hot-bed, the wet nurse of anar-
chy is the legalized saloon. To etfectually
exterminate anarchy and keep the country
rid of the vile monster, the people must
rise in their might and cut that tap-root,
destroy that hot-bed, crush the rattle
snake head OF that wet nurse. Gan ounce
of prevention is worth pound of cure"
Can the people do it, Yes, easily, if
they will just rise above partisan prejudice

the paramount issue. :. !.
Will the people do it,. Yes: if all the
branches Of the Christian church will

voice of God. through the assassination
of President Mckinley, calls nightly for
the determination of anarchy, and points
to the saloon as its foul breeder, every
pulpit should thunder for the, overthrow
of the saloon. And this laundering, in
the spirit of the Lord Jesus, should be
kept up year in and year out, until all
Christians concentrate their votes for the
overthrow of the breeder of the anarchy
which 80 recently slew the President OF
the United States.

Testimony From the Bench.

Judge McAuley, of Kansas City, in COM
mitting a "plain drunk" gave utterance
to the following: "If I lad my way, l
would not only close every saloon in the
county Sunday and week days, but l
would stop the sale of Intoxicating liquor
in any shape or for any purpose whatever.
I would make it a crime to manufacture
the stuff. This may be far reaching, but
the sentiment is justified by the sights and
experiences in this court room: Ninety
five per cent. of the cases tried here are
the direct results Of whisky; the other five
per cent. includes morphine and cocaine
hends and a few petty grievances that
come before me for adjustment. !.
"The woes that arise from the use OF
whisky, the ruined men and women, the
broken families, the griefs and tears all
aired in this court are enough to turn gray
the hair on a buffalo robe"

nothing of this has never entered upon

There are to be no more cock fights N
Manila, where the sport has been practiced
by the Spaniards for 100 years. The sentl-

the sport and it wills be stopped, just as
bull fighting in Havana has been. Inc

A Severe Reflection.

Most of the arguments in favor OF the
canteen which are now so industrious!y
propagated by high army officials rest
upon the assumption that the average sol

made by the Government fol-, gratifying
his appetite. That is about the severest
reflection on the American soldier that
could be made.-The Watchman.

the constitution does not follow the flag.
Congress can make laws for it's new
possessions different from those prevail
ing in the United States. The constitu-
tional prescription that duties must be
uniform thruout the United States does
not apply to them. Virtually congress
has free hand in legisiating for the
country's island possessions. Az this
principle Was enunciated by great
American lawyers on and off the bench
many times in the past before the coun-
Try ever obtained any insular p sses-
sions, the Endorsement of this view by

cases will not surprise anybody who
has given any intelligent attention to
the subject. AS the decision is for the
benefit Of the islands as Well as OF the

one of her most worthy citizens and es-
teemel pubic officials in the death OF
Representative Thomas Kinball, of La

from consumption at time when his
career promised greater usefulness is

He rendered his first public service in
the las. general assembly, where lie was
recognized as q capable ard efficient
legislator, but in his private career as
merchant and business men he had long
been regarded by his community as a
Leader and advisor whose counsel was
sought and priced by his neighbours and
friends. Indeed, this is the highest tri-
butte that can be paid to any citizen and
in his case il is deserved. He was not II
politician in the ordinary sense of the
Word. but he was a capable and sue
