THEIR JoINTLEss DEBATE.
Parson Hopkins Got the Floor, ant
the Other Man Got No Chance.

I
the Other Man Got No Chance.
From the Washington Evening Star.
II saw by the papers the other day
that new and bloody feud had broken
out in the mountains of Kentucky"
said man from that state. "No one
can fully appreciate these feuds unless
he has lived in the counties where the
| trouble is located. There are many
quaint characters in the mountain pof-
tion of the state. OF course, there are
not many people in Washington who re-
member 'Parson' Hopkins, who was giV-
en- seat I'm congress number Of
years ago over Joe Kendall, whose fa-
rher had been in congress before the
son attempted to come here.
"'Parson' Hopkins was a Baptist
minister in the Tenth district and was
| much loved by his people. The Repub-
| licans knew that he would be the only
person who could win in contest for
the place. and so they nominated him
1t was many days before the chairman
of the district Republican organization
, could find where the parson was. Al
last he was located away up in a noun
tain county conducting camp meeting
He refused to discuss politics until he
concluded his meeting, three days later.
Many Democrats who had never cast a
Republican vote put in ballots for Par
SON Hopkins, and became insulted IL
they were told they had voted Republic
can. We are voting Baptist was the
way they put it.
doe Kendall had tried every way
possible to get 'Parson' Hopkins into a
joint debate, but the parson would not
consent. One day the parson went into
a town where Kendall was to hold a
meeting and unexpectedly ran into
Kendall. The latter promptly chal-
lenged the parson to joint debate, and
Mr.. Hopkins reluctantly consented. His
terms, however We're that he should
have the opening. The Democrats We're
rejoiced, and declared that Kendall
would wallop 'Parson' Hopkins roundly.
At o'clock, the hour set for the joint
debate to begin. the parson was intro
duced by the chairman. 'Parson' Hop
kins opened the meeting with prayer,
then read long selection from the
Bible, gave out hymn and read more
from the Bible. Finally he entered
upon his speech When dark came he
was still speaking, by which time near
ly all the men had gone to their homes
to look after their cattle. horses, etc,
and as no arrangement had been made
for lighting the meeting place. Kendan
never did get a chance to respond to
the opening. The joke was ON ken-
dali" =.

New Case of smallpox-Mrs.
Evans Attack Is One Of Excep-
tional severity-Not varioloid but
the Virulent Type.
The home of Joseph Evans on Dun
daft street. in Fell township, just be-
yond the city line, Is effectively quar-
antined and Is under guard night and
day. Martin Brennan and John Keller
are the watchmen on duty.
The quarantine was Immediately es-
tablished yesterday morning by School
Directors Edward Healey and Dough-
erty. The physician called into the
case declared positively that Mrs.
Evans had smallpox. The watchmen
were employed and placed on duty and
II physician was engaged to look after
Mrs. Evans though not the one who is
acting in the same capacity for the
Thompson family.
Last night the school board of Fell
met in special session and approved of
what Directors Healey and Dougherty
had done towards establishing and
maintaining the quarantine. The cx-
pcditon and business-like air which
marked the Fell township school dircc-
tors ma nner of meeting the emergency
is an example for those of the Carbon
dale councils who pareycd before look
ing after the situation in this city.
Mrs Evans attack is not of the mild
type known as varioloid: it is genuine
smallpox, the virulent type, the indi-
Evans having a severe time of it. Her
symptoms were more marked and her
sufferngs of notably greater severity
than the others in this outbreak in Car
bondalc.
The Thompsons are making as good
progress as is looked for. Thomas the
worst sufferer, continues to improve his
prospects of recovery, though he is not
yet out of danger.

small and they can afford to pay their flies

THE REMNANT.

The anti-imperialistS have again been heard
from. They are not dead, but are only frozen
I'D in Boston. 1t may be necessary for Mr..
Ziegler or some other hacker of Arctic expedi
tions TO send out a relief force for their rescue
before they can really be considered Il part of
the living world, but still they are able to talk.
Boston Is apparently not so cold as Addison
found Nova Zembla, for the speech of the anti
imperialists does not CONCEAL. The sounds of
wailing and accusation still Yibrate across the
impassabe zone between the ants and the rest
of the country. and learn that they still
completely lack all confidence in the Presi-
dent. in whose honesty of purpose they have
tried so hard TO believe. but cannot. because he
will not take their advice. Poor castawaysi
If the remnant is always right and the rest of
The people wrong, then they must be right, for
they certainly are the most remnanty sort of
remnant. Two years ago anti-imperiaIlsIn
made quite little stir. A good many people
were fooled by that loud, large voice which,
with characteristic sef-rghteousness, pro-
claimed itself the still, small voice. The
counterfeit was discovered, however. The catch
words ceased 10 delude- People came TO look at
realities and ask what could be done better
than was being done to meet the situation in
practical way. Now 1t is impossible TO arouse
the slightest popular interest in the subject,
and the politicians who would he only too glad
for any cause Of complaint against the admin
istration have abandoned anti-imperasm in
disgust When we think Of the ignorant outcry
over the whole country against the Porto Rican
tariff BILL and the general confession now that
II was a wise measure, which opened the way
for practical solution of colonial problems and
prevented the Incorporation Of millions of bar
barians into citizenship, we realize the eX-
tent of the change, and also the possibilities of
an emotional cry of unreason founded on preJu-
dice
The force of that cry is now spent, but
faithful few still remain. The venerable Mr.
Boutwell, many years ago held that the conSti-
tuition did not extend to the Territories. he
changed his mind recently, declared he was
wrong and that it did so extend Now he is
calling for that instant casting adrI-- of the
| Philippines which he has been trying to have
| the Supreme Court make impossible. 1t is
| hard to tell just what these people do want e1-
| cept something different. One thing. however
/ they insist upon our knowing. That Is their
utter lack of confidence in the President They
| don't want anybody TO think they are com
paratively quiet because they trust him ulti-
! mately to do the right thing in their eyes, and

C4SH ON DELHERT.

What hard hearted creatures are some OF the
German shpbuilders. The Sublime Porte or
dered a war vessel at Kiel. Two instalments
of the purchase money were forwarded from
Constantinope. and officers and sailors were
dispatched from the Golden Horn to man the
naval craft and sail her to the shores of storied
Byzantium But the third instalment OF the
price was not forthcoming. and the German
constructors would not let her go. So there
seems to be deadlock.
The impassive Turks, with true Oriental
philosophy. say their prayers devoutly aud
make frequent references to the beard of the
prophet but they don't pay up. and the i'm
perturbable Teutons refuse 10 accept either
prayers or promises or both together In place
of cash. The ship sticks fast and so do the
debtors and the creditors. II Is hard 10 tell
what may be the outcome. The collect-on-de-
livery system is not in much favor with the
tinanciers who have control Of the revenues Of
the CaIiphate.

The LESSON OF 4 ED.

The appointment of a receiYership for the
bicycle trust affords an interesting object les
SON The reason for such action. or rather the
causes which have led TO it. are obvious.
Bicycling a few years ago was neither an IN
dustry nor a sport but fad and a fad Is
bound to pass away. We do not say it Is fad
now. Most manifestly it is not. 1t is both an
industry and a sport. and as such Will DOUBT
less be perpetuated. But the penalty for its
reriod of fadship must be paid The vast infla-
ton of it for 4 few years. when everybody
seemed to be bicycle-mad. has been followed by
inevitable collapse. After time, and after
various fluctuations, a rational status Will be
established. People will continue TO use bicy-
cles for business for pleasure and for health,
and the industry of making and selling them
will be a steady and profitable one
The lesson is applicable to many other things.
but especially at this time to automobiling.
This. too is a fad, or is in imminent danger of
becoming one People are going in for 1T
without rhyme or reason, Gstrus-goaded by
veri+able speed madness. Manufacturers are
too largely catering TO and encouraging the
craze The process has not gone as far as it
did In the case of bicycles. but 1t Is hurrying on
In that direction Already 1t has gone so far
that some reaction is inevitable. The further 1t
goes the greater and the more costly VIII the
reaction be- 1t is high time for manufacturers
and all others interested in automobiling to take
heed from the example of bicycling. and TO
divert II from senseless faddishness to ways Of
legitimate industry and sport
The automobile has come TO stay, as did the
bicycle But It has not come to stay as fad,
any more than did the other. The bicycle which
abides is not the featheTwefght wheel of the
bunpbacked scorcher, but the substantial and
trustworthy wheel of the rider who rides for
business or pleasure or health. The automobile
which will abide will not be the wailing. clat-
tering. snorting, smoking. Stinking thing In
which the begoggled scorcher now delights to
rush through slaughter Of others TO his own de-
struction 1t will be 4 safe comfortable, trust
worthy engine, convenient to It's users and In
offensive to all others. That is a prediction
which may be made with absolute confidence,
and those who are first TO accept It rs q fact
and to act upon it will be in least danger of loss
when the Inevitable reaction comes against the
beginnings Of an intolerable fad.
