may be to any administration-shou
l,e permitted to escape punishment for
his unlawful acts by screening himself
behind the flag of his country. That
flag was never intended to protect
either cruelty in the Philippines or ras-
cality in Cuba.
"Thc present controversy in congress
over the Cuban tariff question serves
to illustrate the hypocrisy rs well as
unsoundness of the Whole Republican
position on the subject of tariffs.
cit is difficult to understand how
those who justify the imposition Of
tariff duties-not for purpusrs Of reve-
nue. only to meet the necessities of the
treasury-but to protect all OF the
varied Industries of the untry, can
reconcile their attitude with support Of
the pending Cuban tariff bill, which
practically assumes to reduce 20 per
cent of that protection on one particu
lar industry.
eff the protection principle is right,
why, from Republican standpoint,
should not its application be universal
and all industries be treated with the
same tender consideration?
'"The whole system Of government
favoritism, whereby the constitutional
power of taxation for the purpose Of
providing revenue for the needs of the
federal treasury is improperly used to
build up one mans business at the eX-
pense Of another by discriminating in
favor Of one industry as against an
other, is vicious system which has
long afflicted the country, and which
has grown more and more intolerable
with years and against which the De-
mocracy have ever protested.
''It is utterly indefensible upon IL
just and proper principle Of govern
ment. There is no justification for the
exercise Of the power of legislation, to
make milliOnaires of one class of peO-
pie and paupers of another.

RECREATION FOR SOLDIERS
Movement Started by the French
Minister of War.

The military authorities in France
are beginning to realize that much re.
mains 10 be done in tie matter Of pro.
viding men serving under the colors
with healthy recreation. says the Paris
Messenger As matter of fact in al
most every regiment at the present
time soldiers have little choice to make
as to how TO spend their spare time.
They can either stay in barracks and
be called upon for extra fatigue duties
or go out to wander aimlessly about the
streets of the garrison town or spend
three or four hours in the taverns.
General Andre. minister Of war, has
now sent a circular letter to the gener-
ais commanding the twenty army corps
asking them to consider the question
of the organization of recreation and
reading rooms in barracks in order to
provide the men with a ''moralizing at
mosphere." Private initiative had al
ready taken step in this direction and
had provided a certain number OF
games of draughts. chess, etc, together
with outdoor games. for the use of sol
dierS in barracks, and in one or two
towns soldiers clubs have been opened
Now that the authorities are taking the
matter in hand much good may be eff
fected in this direction.

AN ACT OF PROVIDENCE.
Remarkable Problem Before Con-
gress for Settlement.

A claim has been in congress and
referred to a senate committee which
has already been the subject OF some
very interesting decisions in regard to
the true nature of an ''act of provi-
dence." The claim is for the loss or
damage of two trunks belonging to an
army surgeon Oh the occasion of the
great storm at Galveston, Septem Der
s. 1900. The chief quartermaster at
San Antonio refused TO order board
of survey on the case, as he said the
storm was an act of providence for
which the carrier could not be respon-
sible. The claimant took exception to
this statement.
cit is an article of faith" he SAID
with all good Christians that the
WAYS of providence are lnscrutable
and past. finding out.
This last proposition being accept
ed as fact by all Christians, | have
the honor TO maintain that ii the
storm of September 8, 1900, had been
an act of providence it, could not have
been foretold by man. whereas, as
matter of fact, it was predicted by the
United States weather bureau. and the
people of Galveston were warned of its
approach and its expected visitance."
In order to more firmly establish his
claim that the storm at Galveston WAS
not an act of providence, the claimant
has submitted the full report of the
weather bureau description of the ca
tlstrophe.

JDNE THE RICHEST MONTH FOR VARIETY.
Summers Opening Occurs ON the End Conspicuous ~
That Will Be Seen Through Parts OF All the month.
When the Sun Will Stand Still

In the character and variety OF the
blessings bestowed no month in the
wear is so rich as June, says the New
York Times. First ON the list is the
summer soistice, the elimination Of So
lar glory for jewellers in the northern
cline. The epoch occurs on the ed,
when the sun enters the sign Gemlnl
and the astronomical summer begins.
The sun, it is said, stands still for sew
eral DAYS at that time, and such is the
case, according to common observation
and the figures in the ordinary alma
macs, where only degrees and minutes
are given. If, however, the computa-
ton be carried out to seconds, 1t VIII
be found that the sun moves an al
most inappreciable distance. When,
therefore, the sun grazes the tropic OF
Cancer, a great change begins. Days
will pass before the decrease In the
length Of the day amounts to minute
or before the suns lessening altitude
is percepib!e to the unframed eye.
But the change, although slow, is sure,
and early in July observers will per-
ceiye plainly that the days are shorter
and that the sunrise and sunset points
are retreating toward the south. The
suns journey southwark is not with
ont its compensations in the earlier
portions of it's progress. The celestlal
machinery does not always move Dy
line and plummet, but its gradations
succeed each other like dissolving
views Although the days shorten, the
heat increases from the stores OF gar
nered sunshine, flowers deepen in col
oring, harvests ripen. and the Whole
earth in the perfection of development
paws tribute to the all powerful sun,
whose beams waken to life her SUM
bering energies.
The sky is Il vast, immovable dlal
p!ate of that clock whose pendulum
ticks ages instead Of seconds ana
whose time is eternity" The moon
moves among the Illuminating figures,
travelling the dial quickly, like second
hand. once a month. The sun. like
minute hand, goes over the dlai once
a year. Various planets stand for hour
hands. moving over the dial in various
periods. reaching up to l64 years
while mother earth. like an exploration
ship, sails the infinite azure. bearing
the observers to different points where
they may investigate the infinite PROB
lens of the mighty machinery. The
dial notonly shows present movements
but keeps the history of uncounted
ages, ready to be read backward III
proper order, and it has glorious vol
umes of prophecy, revealing the farofi
future to any man who is able to look
thereon, break the seals and read the
record.
The new moon for the month or June
has its first quartering on the 18th, full
moon ON the Goth and last Quarterin2
ON the 2Sth. The playful sweetness OF
our satellite never seems more appeal
ing than when we view him on summer
nights surrounded by the mysterious
palpitating stars that serve to mark iii
progress as it passes along Its monthly
course The conjunctions in which thu
