The President Is stirred, SO We hear.
He has ordered court martial for varl-
GUS officers on account of cruelties al
legged to have been committed by them
in the Philippines. This is buncumb,
bombast, politics, nothing more nor
less. Every man courtmartialed of
rank will be acquitted, If any are ever
brought to trial. Some poor subordi-
mates may suffer. Why put on such
pious airs nowp This thing has been
going on with constantly increasing
severity for two years. Why bring on
a war for humanity's sake and then
become more inhuman than those
against whom we warred? Why dismiss
Miles from the service for telling the
truth, and leave in their places the
liars and the inquisitOrs

dreaded diseasethat sciencehas been able
to cure in all it's stages, and that is Ca

A MARQUIS IN CHICAGO.

We are much pleased when we see
some English nobility in this country.
The nobility of England are interest
Ing, frequently laughable, ever fresh.
at times pleasing, occasionally pr0fita-
BILE, always pitiable. A certain Mar
quis Of Townshend recently visited
Chicago. If there is any town Mar
Quis of Townshend should not visit it
is Chicago. Some how out there they
do not care as much for a Marquis az
they do for hog. Many people de
not know what the word Marquis
means, and do not seem to care te
learn. In this instance they forgot il
they ever knew that there we're any
Marquises in the world, much less any
Marquises in town. If this Marquis
had enquired he would have learned
that the Lord of hosts has but little
respect paid to him in Chicago, and {
bit Of Marquis creates no stir there
at all. The Marquis carried two let
tiers of Introduction from some body
in Washington, one to Mr.. Potter
Palmer, and one to a Mr.. Adams
member Of Congress. Neither of these
gentlemen noticed the Marquis. 81
the Marquis not designing to speal
himself, save through the mouth O
his Secretary, delivered himself aftel
the following fashion:
"The breach between the p]ebeial
and royalty Is too wide for an insult
to reach across. We are interested ir
your city, however. It is just like {
big factory, so noisy and dirty, 20,
know.
Had wanted to be introduced t,
what you call society here in Chicago
I would have brought letters Of intro
duction, but knew you had no s0ciet,
and We did not take the pains to gel
letters of that kind. Your people ar,
all tradespeople and Marquis coult
not afford to associate with trades
people.
"Your Mayor is the foreman and th,
rest of you are the wOrkmen. The!
have treated us with courtesy as VI
would be treated in visiting manu-
featuring plant in England. We gealiz
that there must be some workers il
the world, and we do not look dow
upon them. but, of course, we do no
welcome them into our social circles
We do not do that in England
The Marquis declared that the letter
he brought to Chicago were just note
of introduction to the proprietor o
the Palmer House-Mr. Potter Pal
mer-"a note from one tavernkeepe
to another" He added:
1--WE brought another note to one o
your members of Congress- MI
Adams. The Washington tavernkeep
er knew this Mr.. Adams in Washing
ton, you know. To tell the truth, tn
innkeepers have been very cordia
to u.s."

IF this thing of merging railroads
keeps up, and the logical end is reach
ed. it means one-man ownership of
railroads. That intolerable condition
would necessitate the Government
buying out the roads. and Government
ownership, in my opinion, would be a
calamity. But it is getting so that
railroad president, if he wants to keep
his road over night, must put it in a
safe and carry the key. There is the
old Louisville and Nashville now. No

now it is in danger of getting merged, y
These great trusts and mergers have
come about by reason of the placing in

For once the Democrats in Congress
stood fairly well together. They voted
for measure almost solidly, only ten
escaping to the Republican fold. This
is the smallest number of stray sheep
the party has known for years, when
any question of real interest was under
consideration. We sometimes wonder
if they will ever learn any sense. We
have little hope of such thing. II
they ever commit an act of wisdom it
will likely be by accident.

Pardons are likely soon to go to
Medley and Rathborn. They deserve
pardons. They worked loyaly for the
Republican party's success, and no
doubt learned the art of stealing in so
doing. Stealing in elections is no
offence. Stealing by those who stole
then is not much of an offence, so they
should be pardoned.
