correctly quoted This is what l salc:
Any man who will sell liquor, or rent
a house for liquor to be sold ill., or vote
for a liquor license. ought to be willing
for his own sons to be drunkards and
go to drunkard's hell, and ought to be
willing for his daughters to marry drunk
ards, who, by their dissipation, would
to be willing to take in his own family
what he produces in other families. [
pray that this may rot be SO, but he
ought to be willing to swallow his own
medicine. I am trying to make Chris
tians. That's my business. and l am
willi-T for my own family to take what
l am trying to give others.

SPENDING PUBLIC FUNDS.
An Appropriation OF S5OO,OOO to be Ex-
pended at Manila.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Some of the
old partisan fire was injected into the
proceedings of the house today when
the item in the urgent deficiency bill
appropriating $5OO,OOO, for mill
tary post at Manila, which the Dem
ocrats have been using as a text for
speeches in opposition to the Philip
pine policy of the administration for
the last three days was reached. Mr..
Cannon, in charge of the bill, con-
fessed that appropriation was sub
ject to point of order and it went
out. In lieu thereof he offered an
amendment to appropriate the same
sum for the "shelter and protection
of the officers and enlisted men of, the
army doing duty in the Philippines.
This the chair held to be in order,
and it at once became the subject of
very spirited debate in which MIR.
Richardson, the minority leader, Mr..
Williams, of Mississippi, and Mr.. De
Almond, of Missouri, were pitted
against the chairman of the appro-
priation committee. The vote on
the adoption Of the amendment
stood, ayes 1877, nays 100.

other resolutions we're laid on the ia
ble, thus leaving the majority declar'
alton as the unanimous sense of the
Democratic members of the House.
The caucus also adopted the fol-
lowing:
"Resolved, That the Territories of
Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico
are entitled to Statehood, aid should
be admitted to the Union on equal
footing with the balance of the States,
and we pledge the support of the
Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives, to such bill"

DENMARK SELLS ISLANDS TO US.
Treaty. for Purchase Signed in Washington

Was, ington, January 24.-The
treaty of the session of the Danish
West Indie Islands from Denmark
to the United States was signed at
the State Department today by Sec
retary Hay and Constantine Brnn,
the Danish munster, The treaty
will be submitted to the Senate for
ratification immediately.
Following the invariable rule in
such cases, the State Department
officials decline TO make public any
details Of the treaty. The price is
believed to be in the neighborhood
of $J,000,00O.
It is known also that Denmark
abandoned the position. she was in
clined to occupy toward the conserva-
ton of the political rights Of the
island and leaves the United States
a free hand 10 deal with them, with
out pledge of American citizenship

eyes in fanatical and literal inter

it is better to go into Heaven having

JOHNNY AND ANSE.
The Two Senators McLaurin Are OFTEN
Confused in Public Mind.

1t is funny, says the Washington
Post, how the two McLaurins in the
Senate get mixed up. One comes
from South Carolina and the other
from Mississippi. At the White
House the other night McLaurin of
Mississippi, was given the hat of the
other McLaurin, who had to 60 home
without any covering for his curly
hair.
The two Senators do not look in
the least alike, but their pictures are
constantly being transposed in the
newspaper Offices. When McLaurin
of South Carolina delivers speech
full of devotion to Republican prin-
ciples, McLaurin of Mississippi sees
his own picture as an accompaniment,
much to his annoy ance. Sometimes
the shoe is on the other foot, as when
McLaurin of South Carolina found
himself portrayed as one Of the di-
rectors of the State prison in Missis-
sippi on the occasion of some recent
trouble there. There seems to be no
way to avoid this mixing up of the
two Senators, except when the roll
of the Senate is being called, and
then the two McLaurins are always
found on the opposite SIDE of the
same question.

WHITE ROUSE METHODS.
Roosvelt's Breezy Ways Continue to Interest
His Callers.

His Callers.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Evening Post says: President
Roosevelt continues to interest all his
visitors by the breezy frankness with
which he discusses everything that
comes up. A New England Congress-
man thus describes g recent call at
the White House:
81 wanted to see the President
about an important postoffiee in my
district, I had not bothered him
much up to that time; so l tele-
phoned Mr.. Cortelyou, and received
an appointment. I was ushered
into the Presidents reception room.
Many other people were there; we
could hear the President talking
with some one in the Cabinet room,
and, while it would have been i'm
possible to follow the conversation,
the tones were strong enough to indi-
cate q vigorous discussion. Pretty
soon the door from the Cabinet room
opened and in came the President.
81 am not going to see any of these
people except Sentor Bard-not any
of them-I am too busy; I can not
do it, said the President to Cortel-
you with considerable emphasis.
sulting the action to the word, he
took Senator Bard over into the win
dow and had considerable talk with
him. Mr.. Cortelyou beckoned for
me to stay, and the President, as soon
as he was through with Mr.. Bard,
came over and sat on the sofa beside
me. When I mentioned my post
Office, he told me to 60 down to the
department and fix the matter up
with the Postmaster General, with
the air of one who was tired about
hearing of postofices. As I got up
to 90 he looked over to two young
men who were still waiting. You
are from Alabama, aren't you?' he
asked, and before they had time to
answer, he added: You want So and
So appointed?' The young men re-
piled that they did, but before they
could explain why, the President
told them that he was sick of hearing
of their patronage squabble. You
say the other candidate for this Office
ought to be in jail, don't you" te
went on. Yes sir; he ought to be
there was the reply We'll now,'
said the President, 'his friends assure
me that your man ought to be in jail.
l assume that you are both right. I
wish you would 60 to the Attorney
General and put in writing tie
reasons you have for believing that
the other candidate should be sent to
the penltentiary, and 1 will have a
similar statement made up in regard
to your candidate, then we'll let the
Attorney General look them both over
and decide what is to be done. Per
haps, if you know anything good
about the man you are backing, you
had better put that in writing, too,
and give it to the Attorney General
That was all I stayed to hear, but
it struck me as characteristic.
