A GOOD CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.

The President could hardly desire a
better campaign document than the
interview which Archbishop John Ire
land gave a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press in regard to the friar
question in the Philippines and the re-
cent negotiations in regard to that
question between the Vatican and
Judge Taft. Evidently the Archbishop
IS a sood friend and a great admrer
of the President. In the course of his
interview, speaking of the President, he
said: Never did there reside in the
White House man more fair-minded
and impartial in religious matters, more
resolute to give all classes the religious
rights granted them by the constitu-
ton, and to protect them in those
rights than Theodore Roosevelt" This
ought to go long way towards max
ing friends for the President and his
party among Catholics, in fact among
all religious denominations. 1t would
not be surprising if Archbishop Ire
land were a Republican. Still there
is no doubt that he is sincere in what
he says. OF course there are Catholics
and Catholic papers that do not agree
with him. 1t was because of the at
tacks upon the President and the school
system in the Philippines that Arch
bishop Ireland gave out the interview
in question.
These papers have been saying that
there was a settled purpose to make
Protestants out of the Filipinos by
means of the public school system, and
Archbishop ireland wants it understood
that they are mistaken. He says that
the Catholics have every advantage in
the Philippines they can reasonably
ask.
OF course it was not suggested to he
Archbishop that such an interview
would be appreciated by the President,
but it is probable that he could not
have said anything else that would
have contributed SO much towards
making tie public generally satisfied
with the Philippine policy of the Pres
ident, or rather of the Republican
party.
But while 1t may be true that the
President is aiming to be fair and !m-
partial in all matters pertaining to the
Philippines it does not follow that the
possession of the islands is a good
thing for this country. The perma-
nent possession of them means impe-
rialism, and Imperialism means the
overthrow of Republican institutions.
Therefore what Archbishop Ireland
says about the Presidents fair-minded-
ness in ruling the Philippines should
not have the effect of making the peo-
pie Indifferent as to whether or not the
Republican party is successful in hav-
ing its Philippine policy generally ac-
cepted. The acceptance of that policy
would be a long step in the direction of
the permanent possession of the ISL
ands, and permanent possession would
lead towards Imperialism.

Chinese National Air.

Much amusement was caused at
Brussels during the official reception
of the Chinese Prince Imperial. All
day the Prince was promenaded over
the city, and everywhere he went he
was met by the same monotonous tune
YEARLY intoned by military bands.
After a willie he asked his interpreter
what the tune was.
1.-THE Chinese national anthem was
the reply of the surprised burgomas-
ter OF BRUSSELS, NJ. do Mot.
But we have none" replied Prince
Chen, land this tune was certainly
never heard in China"
1t seems that willy European some
years ago composed a weird melody,
with t0m-tom accompaniment, and
called it the Chinese national anthem.
He sold the riIht to perform the an
them on all occasions when any Chi
nese dignitaries were being entertain
ed. He has already made a nice lit
lie sum out of it.

Personal.

Tufts college recently conferred the
honorary degree of master of arts upon
Miss Sarah l.. Arnold, dean of the new
Simmons College in Boston. Formerly
Miss Arnold was supervisor of the Bos-
ton public schools.
Gov. w. NJ. Crane of Massachu-
sets. appears to be full of good sug-
gestions. In common with most men
in his line of business he writes mes
sages annually 60 the State Legislature.
For the last three years every recon-
mendation he has made has been en-
acted into a law.
"A Utrecht correspondent tells this
story of the way ex-President Paul
Kruger spends his nights: He retires at
s p. M, but gets up at 1 a. M, "dons
dressing gown and pair of slippers
and sits down to read his Bible, smoke
and drink tea. The teapot is set over
little spirit lamp and he brews it
strong. And thus he sits from / until
8 o'clock, reading and commenting
aloud on the Bible texts. At 3 o'clock
he returns to his bed to finish the
nights rest until 5, when he rises for
a fresh days labors.'

CAPT. GILLETTE's RECOMMENDA-

In his annual report to the Chief of
Engineers Capt. Gillette recommends
that the entire amount appropriated
for the 2S-foot project in Savannah
harbor be made available during the
present fiscal year. The recommended
ton is one that ought to be approved.
There is no doubt that a great deal
more can be accomplished with the en-
tire appropriation available for imme-
date use than if it is used in small
amounts running over three or four
years. Besides. it is important that
Savannah shall have a tweny-eight
foot channel to the sea as soon as pos
sible. Her commerce is increasing all
the time, and larger ships would visit
the port if the harbor could accomo-
date them. OF course the larger the
ships the lower the ocean rateS-that
is, as a general rule.
We infer from Capt. Gillette's report
that he is prepared to begin work on
the new improvements, and only waits
for orders. If the work is begun this
fall and the recommendation of Capt.
Gillette IS approved the proDaDlnueS
are that Savannah will have a harbor
that win accommodate vessels drawing
twenty-eight feet of water by the fall
of 1903.
There does not seem to be any rea-
son why it should not be approved. 1t
is in the discretion of the Secretary of
War as to whether it shall all be used
in lump or expended in contracts
running over several years. The bill
makes the 100000 of the unexpended
balance Immediately available and the
100000 appropriated at the last ses-
sion of Congress available in the dis
erection of the Secretary of War 1t is
probable that Capt. Gillette's recon-
mendation will be approved.

The tragedy of the sloop Lowell Dell
in the Ogeechee river on Tuesday, in
which two lives were lost and several
persons narrowly escaped, coming SO
soon after a close parallel that occur
red at Baltimore on Sunday, should
prove a warning to pleasure sailing
parties. In each instance a sudden
squat of wind wrecked the boat and
imprisoned the unfortunates in the
cabin. where they met their fate. In
the Ogeechee accident Capt. Calder
proved himself a hero. making almost
superhuman efforts to effect a rescue
against appalling odds, and his bravery
and daring bore good fruit; but it was
not the full fruit for which he strug-
gled, hoped and prayed. There will be
sailing pleasure parties hereafter as
before, of course. but the incidents to
which we have called attention should
impress IL upon such parties that eter-
nal vigilance in sail boat is the price
of safety, that sailing in squally wealth
er is always dangerous, and that only
the most slSillful sailors should be en-
trusted with the handling Of sail boats
having pleasure parties aboard.

Old Navy Discipline,

Admiral Iouett. the jolliest old sea
dog of all the retired officers of The
navy, tells an amusing story of his
early days as a cadet, says the New
York Tribune.
Il was sociable youngster," he says,
and when l went to my first assign
1nent, the Independence, and saw the
Stars and Stripes floating over it, l
remembered my mother had taught me
that my first duty was to the flag, SO
l attempted some conversation on this
line with the executive officer who had
received me when l came on board, and
who was one of the strictest discipline
rlans in the navy of that day.
2" Silence, sir!' he Eoared at my first
question, his face red with anger. ST.
lence, SIR! Who gave you permission
TO speak? Let me hear only six words
from YOU. sir, while you are on this
ship-port, starboard; yes. sir, and no,
sir
And this was my first discipline in
the navy"

All the sorts and kinds of bugs.
Fuzzy bugs!
Bugs that humbly beg your pardon;
bugs that proudly throw on lugs!
How they fiutter, fiutter, fiutter,
Till some lady gives a shrek,
Till she clutches at her bonnet
Shouting that a bugs upon it,
For she felt it climb her cheek.
How they, wing, wing, wing!
How they sing, sing, singl
The mosquitoes and the beetles and
each buzzy, buggy thing.

A good story, says the Scotsman, is
told of Sydenham, the great physi-
clan, Who having long attended a gem
tleman of fortune with little or no adj
vantage, frankly avowed his inability
to render him any further service. add
ing at the same time that there was a
physician OF the name of Robinson at
inverness (there were no railways in
those days. who had greatly distin-
guished himself by the performance of
many most remarkable cures of the
same complaint as that under which
ms patient labored, and expressed a
conviction that if he applied to him
he would come back cured.
This was too encouraging a proposal
TO be rejected. The gentleman re-
ceiyed from Sydenham a statement of
his case, with the necessary letter of
introduction, and proceeded without
delay to the place in question.
ON arriving at Inverness, and anx-
iously inquiring for the residence of
DR.. Robinson, he found to his utter
dismay and disappointment that there
was no physician of that name, nor
ever had been in, the memory of any
person there. The gentleman return
ed. vowing eternal hostility to sgd
enham; and on his arrival home lost
no time in expressing to him his in
dignation at having been sent on a
journey of so many hundred miles for
no purpose.
Well" replied Sydenham, ARE you
better in health?" Yes, l am quite
well now, but no thanks to you" mo. -
says Sydenhaml but you may thank
DR.. Robinson for curing you. l wish
ed to send you on a journey with some
object of interest in view. In going.
you had DR.. Robinson and his wonder
full cures in contemplation; and in re-
turning you were equally engaged in
thinking of scolding me-"

ONE STATE FOR 10 TO L.

1t looks as if the Democrats Of Mis-
City platform, and particularly the Is
to l silver plank. At their state con-
vention on Tuesday they adopted res
olutions indorsing the platform and
that plank. 1t may be that the con-
vention did not fairly represent the
Democracy of the state. 1t will be re-
called that Gov. Stone, one of the real
leaders of Missouri's Democracy, said
a few weeks ago, that in his opinion
the silver issue was dead. In a recent
letter to the St. Louis Republic Sena-
tor Vest, perhaps the ablest Demo-
cratic leader in Missouri and a strong
silverite, said:
II have no objection to stating that
while | am a bimetallist, sincerely and
truly, and believe that silver is money
of ultimate redemption, do not think
that this is the time to make the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to 1 a paramount issue. l believe that
a man can be a good Democrat with
out indorsipg the declaration in the
Kansas City platform for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver ar 16 to
without the consent of foreign coun-
tries"
With such men as Vest and Stone
against making silver prominent at
this time it is rather remarkable that
the Missouri Democratic state conven-
ton gave such prominence to silver.
Perhaps it wanted to make it clear to
the Democrats of other states that
Missouri Democrats never abandon a
platform until new one has been
adopted.

A STRANGE CASE.

The case of Albert c. I4atimer, who
was shot and mortally wounded in his
house in Brooklyn, N. Y, on the night
of July 2, is in some respects a re-
markable one. 1t certainly offers a
wide field for speculation. The widow,
Mrs. Latimer, tells a straightforward
story, but it is story that has some
features that are hardly natural. She
says that her husband was shot by a
masked burglar. She heard q noise
in the room, got out of bed, went to
the bathroom, got a match and came
back and lighted the gas. She then
pulled down the window shades and
opened the door of a closet from which
a masked man with a dark lantern
stepped out. The man pushed her
aside and approached her husband
who, in the meantime, had risen from
the bed, and, with the bed clothes
thrown over his arm and holding them
in front of him as sort of protection,
was advancing on the burglar.
1t was while the two men were adj
vancing towards each other that the
burglar shot Mr.. Latimer. From the
wounds then received Mr.. Latimer
died in the hospital several days la
ter. But before he died he said that
a burglar had not shot him and that
he was shot while in bed. He also
added codicil to his will in which he
left all of his property to his chill
dren. 1t is claimed, however, that al
no time while he was in the hospital
was his mental condition such as to
justify giving serious consideration to
what he said.
The police did not think the shooting
was done by burglar when the case
was first called to their attention. II
is true that a pair of felt shoes and a
bicycle lamp which could not be ac-
counted for were found in the house
but it was out of the range of their ex-
perience that woman should do what
Mrs. Latimer said she did to discover
whether or not a burglar was in the
room. Apparently they had theory
that there was an admirer of Mrs
Latimer somewhere in the scenes that
preceded the tragedy, and they pro-
ceded to hunt for him. They found an
old-time admirer, but he easily proved
an alibi, and so they have had to come
back to the burglar theory. Still
there seems to be a belief in New
York city that the truth in respect tc
the shooting has not yet been discov-
cred. If there is another story thar
that told by Mrs. Latimer there are
no reasons as yet for thinking that ii
will be discovered.

England is beginning to ask herself,
What is to be done with all of the
men who will be turned loose when
the troops are brought home from
South Africa? How are they to find
employment? There are already in the
country. and particularly in London,
large numbers of unemployed and the
situation win not be improved when
thousands of soldiers are added TO the
ranks of the unemployed. The New
York Tribune discussing the question,
thinks there is no reason for gloomy
predictions. 1t says: When the
mighty armies were disbanded in this
country after our Civil War no dire
calamities took place" But that case
is not parallel with the situation in
Great Britain. In this country we had
millions upon millions of acres of idle
lands TO be taken up and titled, vast
forests to be entered and worked, and
incalculable mineral resources to be
developed. They have no such things
in Great Britain to take the attention
of the discharged soldiers. viii they
be sent to the colonies to become work
ers in them2

His Condition.

Fritz Scheel, director of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra, has fopdness for
American slang and and colloquialisms
that is far in excess of his aptness in
acquiring the exact words and sense,
says the Philadelphia Times. When
he first came to Philadelphia, in the
summer of 1899, he was struck by the
expression "Out of sight" spoken with
fine heartiness to indicate pleasure and
satisfaction with the general order of
things. Scheel determined to make
use of it at the first opportunity, and
to that end repeated it over and oyer
to himself always keeping in mind the
circumstances under which il should
be uttered. MIR. Elias met the must
clan one afternoon when the latter was
playing at Woodside Park, and cheer
lily called out:
How are you, Fritz?'
You don't see mel" was Scheel's
prompt and amazing reply

Mistook Conductor for His Wife.

One of the electric cars was just
leaving Pewee Valley, says the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. Suddenly man
empty hottie frantically. He boarded
the car and chung to strap. He be-
came confidential with the man on The
back seat and told him he had escaped
from his wife for a day in the coun-
try and was drowning his troubles.
Soon the conductor came around and
held out his hand. The action seemed
to appeal to a memory in the mans
past life. He Strengthened up in all
his dignity and even the blush on mis-
nose subsioed a trifie.
Madam said he, gravely, to the
conductor, where is that nickel gave
you last week?"

The murderer Wells who was hang
ed in Atlanta the other day left a. wife
and several children to bear the odium
along in the world as best they may.
The murderers Cooke and Lauderdale,
who were hanged in Greenville, Miss,
on Tuesday, were we'll connected and
left mothers and sisters disgraced by
their execution on the gallows. Thus
the innocent suffer even more than the
guilty. And so it goes; in nearly all
instances of the kind it is women upon
whom the heaviest blows fall.

Speculation has begun respecting the
wealth of the late John w. Mackay,
some of the guesses being as &igh as
$50, 900, 600. 1t has not been a great
while since Mr.. Mackay told one of
his friends that he could not himself
tell within $2O,OOO,OOO of what he was
worth, hence there is probably little
dependence to be placed in the esti-
mates of outsiders. They may be $780,
900. 900 too high or as much too low
In most instances, however, the for
tune of very wealthy man is overes-
timated. Still, there is no doubt that
Mr. Mackay was immensely rich. He
owned great properties in various
parts of the world.
