ALTGELD AT COLUMBUS.

Columbus, Feb. 13.-At the pro-
Boer Lincoln liberty meeting here last
night, ex-Gov. John p. Altgeld, of Illi-
nois, delivered one of his customary
criticising speeches. He took Ameri-
cans to task for making commercial
ism their god instead Of liberty, virtue
and honor. He said the two last
Democratic administrations We're mere
shams and that the Democratic, mem
bers of congress were without back
bone and stamina. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Jeffer-

is most appropriate, club Democrats
and Democratic clubs at this time
should honor the names of Jefferson

man can doubt but that these two
great men would be standing side by

all other good Democrats everywhere,

was foremost in the preservation of
a union over which one flag should
forever float.
The Constitution and the flag rep
resent in the minds of the American
people our whole notion of govern
ment and liberty. 1t is difficult to
conceive OF the stars and stripes per-
forming any other Office than the her.
aid Of Constitutional liberty.
II it has been possible to consider
the flag as floating anywhere on earth,
except as the bearer of the Constitu-
tion's message OF freedom, it is mod
ern notion which cannot derive sup
port from the sanction of the people.
The public services of Jefferson and
Lincoln were directed toward cstab-
fishing the inseparatle relation be-
tween the Constitution and the flag,
and it is appropriate, at this time
when contrary doctrine is asserted
for the Democratic citizens to give
expression to the true principle in q
common tribute 10 the memory of the
two great leaders.

TACKLES SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY
The southern Democracy by vicious
constitutional provisions, is gradually
robbing the negro of the rights OF
citizenship; while in some sections of
the south so-called Republican organi-
zations are being formed which aim
at the substantial disfranchisenept OF
the negro 1t is needless to say that
any party which plants itself on such
a platform, and calls itself Republican
is flying a pirates flag, and is entitled
to no quarter from party whose cor
ner-stone Ia embedded in an imperlsh-
able foundation of equal civil and po-
litical rights, whatever may be the
color of a mans skin.
20 Lincoln, blessed the country
that owns your name and fame!
Happy the people from which you
sprung! Your life justifies the birth
of the republic; your career ripened
the experiment of self-government
into demonstration. You settled the
all-controlling fact that government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people, was not only the best.
but that the best government springs
from the very body Of the people.
Lincoln, you builded better than
you knew. You not only freed three
million slaves, you broke the
shackles from all the world, and
taught all men how to be free and how
to govern. Peace to your ashes and
eternal honor to Your nAme!''

MORO SULTANS IN A
MORE PEACEFUL MOOD
Greater Friendship Toward Americans
Shown-Bacolod Campaign May
Be Delayed.

MANILA, Oct 1s.-Reports received
here today show that the condition o.
affairs on the Island of Mindanao is
improving, and the rebcllious Moros ar.
becoming more tractable.
The Sultan of Rumayas, who repre-
sents ten important rancheries in the vi
cfrity of Maciu, has sent assurances oil
his friendship to General Sumner al
Camp Wears. The Sultan OF Minbally
says he will send delegation to call on
the general.
All these Moro officials have been in
vited to visit Camp Wears. Many un-
important headmen are also Offering 10
sell produce to the American troops and
to furnish any laborers that may be
needed. The Sultan of Semialangan has
delivered two stolen rifles TO the Amer
leans. These incidents are regarded as
the first hopeful signs of the effect of
the recent defeat Of the Maciu Morcs
by the troops under Capt. John ]. Per-
shing.
1t is believed that under the circuD-
stances General Sumner will probably
delay his proposed attack on the Moros
of Bacolod, who are still hostile.

FOREIGN ORDERS NOT
DESIRED IN ENGLAND
Bestowal of the Grand Cross of the Red
Eagle on Mr.. Brodrick
Resented.

LONDON, Oct 1S.-Even the English
sentiment is republican enough to resent
the bestowal Of foreign decorations upon
official representatives OF this country.
The Kaiser was good enough to bestow
the Grand Cross Of the Red Eagle upon
Secretary Brodrick when he attended the
German maneuvers short time ago.
This moves the Spectator to remark:
What may be the comparative values
of eagles-red, black or blue-we are not
anxious to consider, but we cannot but
remember with regret that Mr.. Brod-
rick is the first state secretary and, II
We remember rightly. the first member
of a British cabinet, while in that body.
to accept a foreign decoration. Chat
ham and Palmerston were secretaries of
war when we actually had military al
lance with the King Of Prussia, but we
find no record of red eagles In their
cases.
I'm justice to Mr.. Brodrick we must
say, however. that we do not for a mo-
ment suppose that he desired the pos
session Of the red eagle. or wished still
further to break down the proud and
sound rule Of former days against the
acceptance OF foreign orders, except in
cases where Englishmen have actually
senting them. We feel sure that he was
an unwilling victim, and took the order
because refusal would seem rude"

LITTLE HARM SEEN IN
RUSSIA'S NEW ACTIVITY
The London Spectator" Looks Upon
the Opening of the Dardanelles
With Complacency.

LONDON, Oct 18-The uneasiness ID
oficial circles, especially in Great Brit
ain, in connection with the Russian de-
signs in the near East, is increa sing.
The story is repeated that Russia is
pressing Turkey to revive the Turkey of
1888, under which the Porte, If It had
not beea abrogatcd. would have passed
under Russian protection and virtual
control.
1t is pointed out that as the Russian
ambitions in the Far East have been
checked. il not thwarted. by the Anglo
Japanese alliance, Great Britain can
hardly complain II the scene OF Russian
activity is transferred to the Eastern
Mediterranean. There are even signs
that Great Britain may be preparing to
make some concessions. In connection
with this the 'Spectator" today makes
these extraordinary complacent COM
ments anent the possible opening 1f the
Dardanelles to Russian warships:
I'VE trust the British people will con-
slider the question carefully before they
rush to the conclusion that British in
terests must be greatly damaged. That
German and Austrian interests will suf-
fer most seriously, and also French in
terests. owing to Frances interests In
the Levant. We do not deny, but now
that We hold Egypt We have no special
interests in the Turkish end of the
Mediterranean. AS We cannot hope 20
make the Mediterraean a British lake,
the more numerous the naval interests
and powers in the Mediterranean the
better for US.
I'VE may hold the balance, though we
cannot enjoy the monopoly. 1t would
be foolish for US to lead any movement
to ch eek Russia In the Levant Our OBJ
ject should be to provide safety valve
for Russian activity, and not still fur
ther to check her expansion. and so pro-
woke an explosion in which India may
be involyc1."
