NEWSPAPER OPINION
Lady Somerset and the Canteen
Ernm the Now York NNnrld

Lady Somerset and the Canteen
From the New York World.
After expressing her very natural
unwillingnsss to have her own temper
ance ideas confounded with those of
Mrs Carrie Nation, Lady Henry SOmer-
ret, freshly arrived in America, parries
a leading question as to the wisdom of
the anti-canteen movement. She has
not studied the case, but she quotes as
an authority the British commander-in-
chief, Lord Roberts, who has declared
that temperance promoted the efficiency
Of any fighting force and bettered the
services in every way"
If Lady Somerset shall find il worth
her while to look into the American
army reports Of latest issue she will dis
cover our generals in unanimous agree
ment with Lord Roberts. But she will
also find nearly all of them declaring
that the canteen stood for temperance,
while it's abolition has opened wide the
way to temptation and to all evil ex-
Cesses.
AS one high in the councils of the
International wv c.. T. u, Lady Somer-
set can do no. better service 10 her
cause than by opening her mind to the
truth of the army situation. And this
truth is that army discipline and sol
dierly welfare are being sacrificed
through a new form of the old madness
for an Incorporate prohibition which
cannot prohibit.

Cut IN Halves Ry a Train.

Philadelphia. Oct. 25.-Close to the
Somerset street bridge on the Port
Richmond branch Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway, Antoine Fideli,
of this city, was run over and instantly
killed yesterday by a shifting engine.
Fideli was a laborer employed by the
road. and was one of the occupants Of
a tool car. He stepped from the car d.
rectly in front OF an engine coming on
the other track. In an instant he was
knocked down. his body falling direct
ly across the track. The big driving
wheels passed over him, cutting him
completely in halves. His Mortified
companions and the engineer quickly
moved the body to the side Of the
track and from thore is was taken
to the morgue. The engineer said there
was no possibility of stopping his loco
motive, as the man dropped off the
other car directly in front Of him.

dad MuIIah

Mad Mullah doesnit rake the hay.
Because he isn't built that way
Beneath his brown SKIN there's a food
OF very sanguinary blood.
His wives he numbers by the score.
And daily keeps ON adding more.
Whooping he goes with merry glee
To add to John Bulls misery.
When things are dull elsewhere for
John.
Old Mul keeps matters moving on.
Forth from the bush he pops his head,
And, 10. A hundred troops are dead!
He rushes DER the desert sands
With whiskers loose and bloody hands.
They charge and drive him back, and
then
He breaks cut somewhere else again.
He laughs to scorn the llag they bear;
They hunt in vain to find his lair.
Year in, year out, he's held at bay.
But Mullah's heart is ever gay.
Upon his fiery steed he flies
Hither and yon meath Afric skies.
He battles here and battles there
And then cuts loose Some other where.
"A hundred times they've had him
caught,
And looked to see and found him not.
What sadder words OF tongue or pen
Than; "Old Mul's out for gore again?"

TO RnpuoE PENsIoNs

The Kansas City Journal publishes
the following letter from a Civil War
veteran:
Having become converted to the be-
lief commonly known as Christian Sci
ence, | herewith voluntarily surrender
all claim to the pension which l have
been drawing for the past twelve years.
Ny pension was allowed on account Of
alleged rheumatism and alleged stom-
ach trouble contracted during my SER
vices in the Civil War, and the mortal
error which made me think had them
also made the doctors who examined
me think the same, But / am now
convinced that there is no such thing
as rheumatism or stomach trouble;
that by the blessing OF God | am free
of error, and that | have no right TO
take money from the Government on
account of a cause which does not OK
ist
Here we have a method Of cutting
down the pension list or OF wiping it
out altogether. The Government can
afford to appropriate large sums to
propagate the new gospel, since it would
save money in the end. Furthermore,
with this new idea thoroughly estab-
lished there will be no more casualties
in battle, since immaterial bullets win
pass through immaterial bodies "a
paradox and nobody will be injured.
The possibilities are amazing.

PREDICTIONS

A great dead OF nonsense intended to
catch the unwary voter is now being
uttered. The Evening Journal has no
desire TO en.er into q contest whore the
man with the widest fancy and the
freost tongue carries on the palm, but
we rise to remark, that if certain Of
these prognosticators wish to back up
their predictions with a showing OF
cash, they can probably be accommo-
dated AS President Hadley, OF Yale,
remarked recently, TO offer to back
your statements by a showing OF money
is the only argument that will subdue
a certain sort Of irresponsible wind
TANNERS.
Here are some OF the things claimed:
BY Addicks, that he viii sweep the
Democrats into the sea and elect a
Legislature favorable to him for sen

BY Byrne. that he will receive &
plurality Of at least 1000 and spend
two years in Congress.
BY Dr. Marshall, that Addlcks wil

candidate with two possible excep

wishes to be liberal.
BY Dr. Hoey, that the Democrats viii
carry the same county, electing tn
whole county ticket and most Of tn
members Of the Legislature.
BY the Every Evening. that the Dem

in the Legislature on joint ballot
BY the Sun. that Dr. Bail Will NJ

failed to stir the enthusiasm of any
considerable number of the party. En-
phatic dissent from it is frequently ex-
pressed by stanch representatives of
Democratic sentiment Mr.. Hill must
be disappointed by the Indifference or
positive aversion with which his So
ciaaistic innovation is received so gem
orally by Democrats.
The political calm which precedes
the election to come soon would seem
TO Indicate that the American people
may be relied on not to invite the two
years Of turmoil which would follow

The WHsRL
OF POLITICS
Bits Of Political Gossip Picked Up BY
East Side."

Several Democrats in the Fourth
representative district are working for
the election CT William Lawton. Former
State Detective Barney McVey is said
to be one of them, hut Barney will not
say that this is so. George II. Huber
Is another who is said to be taking an
active interest i'm pushing Lawton's
candidacy to the fore.
Many Of the friends Of Boxer Con-
nelly, the candidate for the Legislature
from the Fifth representative district
are surprised that he has not started
his street corner and tailbOard mce.-
Ing this campaign. He tried it when
he was a candidate for the nomination
two years ago. At that time he was
defeated by John Healey. Connolly
says he is so busy building houses that
he cannot address meetings at might.
He is said to believe more in a house
toulouse canvass anyway.
Man Friday" Alice is said to be dis
claiming amy responsibility for the
Opera House meeting where Byrne was
given such a chilly hand recently. AL
leo Says ne ulu NOT WdnJ the meeting
held anyway, but Byrne prevailed on
him to call it, saying the house would
be filled. Asa precaution Alice called
a meeting Of the Union Republican
State Central Committee there to swell
the crowd on the stage
Now he is glad that he did. Had
not the members OF the committee been
there Byrne and HUM would have
been the only ones on the stage.

Be Clean
From the New York Mail and Express

From the New York Mail and Express.
Science has no prejudices and in
dulges in no fiattery. The results and
revelations of sanitary science, how
ever, do flatter the cleanly and repro
bate the unclean. Exposures have been
systematically made in this city OF the
little gelatine plates which collect on
their surface representatives Of the
bacteria that float in the air. That the
Plates OF this sort which are exposed
in the clean uptown residence districts
remained comparatively clear, while
those exposed in the crowded tenement
quarters of the East Side collected coi-
onies of bacteria which were in num-
bers like the sands of the sea and in
destructive energy like hOrdes from
Tartary, is not in the least surprising.

No symptoms of a notable change in

the relative strength of the two parties

in the elections for governor and fc1
congressman during the last eighr
years. The new issue OF "nationn
ownership and operation foisted on

Democratic Convention seems to hav,
Evening journal., 1902-10-25

TO make a prediction, but If we were
going TO hazard a guess. we should
say that the Republican State ticket
viii be elected by about 2.50O majority,
ana that Byrne's vote will not exceed a
third-probaDly not more than a fourth
of the total Republican vote.
The Legislature will be close, and the
Republicans will have a siff fight to
carry it. But they can carry It, and il
the tickets as nominated are supported,
Salisbury and Kenney will remain in
Delaware and practice law.
Both Sparks and Rudolph will win,
as they deserve to do although Ad-
dicks win step at nothing to accomplish
their defeat.
The next Legislature Will not long
consider the name Of Addicks, and
will turn I'M and elect two Republicans
to the Senate, and quit their nonsense

Sipiaguine in the two years of his adj
ministration had succeeded in making
himself the best hated man in Rus
STA. He was regarded as the embodi-
ment of the spirit of reaction which
has been allpowerful since the death
of Alexander H. His name was a
synonym for distrust of all liberal
measures and for belief in arbitrary
government. Every reactionary step
taken in home policy whether in the
sphere of education. was ascribed to
his initiative. 1t was generally be-
lieved that he used every means in
his power to thwart the liberal policy
of General Vannovsky, the minister of
education, and that throughout the
period of disorder it was he who adj
vocated the most rigorous methods of
repression. Moreover, he was regard
ed, not as an intellectual force, like
Pobiedonostzeff, but as shallow man,
without deep convictions, who used to
profess liberal principles before he
found himself in a responsible posi-
ton. In private life he is said to
have been a sufficiently amiable and
rather popular person.
