AN Appreciation.

Rear Admiral Evans in the May
issue OF McClure's Magazine says: "For
comfort and luxury, the special train
on which he Travelled made a lasting
impression upon the Prince and his
suite. Prince Henry said: I have
seen the best equipment on Russian
Railroads, and they are the best in
Europe; but 1 have never seen or
imagined that train like this could
be put together >"
Coming from such an authoritative
source this is indeed q compliment
especially SO as two Of the cars, the
Ohio and Iowa, belong to the regular
equipment of the Chicago Great West
ern Railway.
These beautiful compartment sleep
ing cars run every night between
Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis on
the "Great Western Limited" the

,nnerIaIist Leaders scrapping.

Senator Lodge and his supporters in
charge of the Philippine civil govern
ment bill, are up against threatened
break from their leadership of an I'M
holy cause. There is growing oppo-
sitiou to the co1nmercialists piracy In
the Philippines. Some Of the Western
senators, influenced by the awakening
conscience of the people, have declar-
ed their intention to recognize the
popular feeling in opposition to the
policy ,of the administration. The
suppression of disgraceful facts re-
garding the inhumanity of our troops
in the archipelago, no longer denlable,
has no parallel except in the British
brutality in South Africa, all which
is revolving to the true American
heart. In the next election campaign
senators and representatives must
meet their records on the inhuman
and diShonorable treatment of the
faraway islanders of the Pacific. They
cannot afford to go before the people
without first having shown opposition
to the commercial pirates in congress,
therefore something is liable to be
done that may disrupt the Republican
party. In the House Speaker Hender-
son has already lost control. He can
never be reelected. His humiliation
is complete. 1t may lead to an oppo-
sition majority in the next popular
branch OF congress. The senate is un
alterably imperialistic for the next
three or four years. The people have
been misled and are liable to lose theil
sovereign RICH ts.-National Republic
can.

This Nation Needs a Worse
Stomach Ache.
1t Has Not Had Half !. lesson Yet,

1t Has Not Had Half Lesson Set,
Once in Silverton, Oregon, there
lived wise father, whose son found
it difficult to learn by experience.
The son, by the way, was Homer
Davenport, whose cartoons are often
seen on this page.
Many times the son came to his
fater to complain, and his complaint,
worded in the simple, expressive Ian
guage of American boyhood, was u.s.
ually this:
"Pa, I've got q belly ache
At first the kind and wise father
did what he could to help the boy.
He put hot-water bottle on his stom-
ach, gave him something with ginger
in it, made him drink lot of hot
water, or otherwise relieved him.
But after awhile the father adopted
different methods. One day the boy
came to say, as usual, "Pa, I've got a
belly ache" but his reception was diff
ferent. His father said to him:
II see by your expression that you
really have got what you say. But it
is not half bad enough yet. Run away
for a while and come back when it
gets worse"
The son was deeply grieved, and
tears filed his fine brown eyes. But
he had to run away and play with the
stomach ache as best he could.
The same thing happend later, and
again the wise father refused any as
sistance, saying
"Your stomach aches are mysterious
enough; If they we're, you would pay
attention to what l say, and not eat
green apples and other trash. l am
going to let you wait now until you
get pain that will do for you what
my advice cannot do-thatis, persuade
you to act sensibly."
The boy Of Silverton, Oregon, was
eventually cured permanently CT the
stomach ache, and lived to be the
great cartoonist, Davenport, whose
various theories of life are now models
of wisdom.
The great people OF the United States
of America are in the situation of the
boy who complained to his father
about stomach ache.
The American people are suffering
from very severe pain in the pit OF
the stomach, caused by the Beef Trust
and various other trusts. Every once
in while the American people,
through their newspapers or through
mass meetings, howl and wall about
the trusts and the pain in their inside
The American people present a fail

ache had not reached sufficient acut
stage to do him any real good.

Washington, April 3o.-The senate
committee on the Philippines Tuesday
resumed the examination of witnesses
in connection with the Investigation
Of affairs in the Philippine islands.
Gen. Arthur Macarthur continued his
examination. He explained the state
ment in his annual report of June 30
1900, that UNITED States had acquired
sovereignty by treaty and in way
owned the Philippine islands, but did
not own the Philippine people," by
saying that these conclusions were
reached after conversation with an
infinite number Of people and observa
ton and that they represented the
bulk of the views of the nationals,
party.
Gen. Macarthur disclaimed any re-
sponsibifity for the order of Gen. ia
cob H. Smith to make Samar howl
ing wilderness. Replying to ques
ton by Senator Beveridge, Gen. Mac
Arthur said that absolute chaos would
result should the Filipinos be given
complete independence and the United
States entirely withdraw from the is
lands, but he said he would like tc
explain this statement at another ses.
sion of the committee. He was there
upon excused until to-day, the
committee going into executive session
to further consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
summoning witnesses asked for by the

Senate.

Washington, April 30. - A spirited
discussion of the Philippine situation
occurred in the senate Tuesday. 1t
revolved around the order alleged to
have been issued by Gen. Jacob A.
Smith to make the island of Samar
bowling wilderness and to kill oil
male Inhabitants over the age of ten
years. The debate took q wide range,
however. and many other points were
discussed. When the Philippine bill
was laid before the senate no one
was prepared to deliver q set speech
on st. Senator Lodge lMass.), in
charge of the measure, said he felt
compelled TO press it for considera-
ton. His remarks drew the fire of
Senator Teller (Col). who criticised
the republicans for not participating
in the discussion. This precipitated
the debate, and for more than two
hours it continued. Senator Teller de-
clared that Gen. Smith, if he had is
sued such an order as had been at
tributed to him, ought to be dismissed
from the service, as it was disgrace
to the American army, and to the
American people. Senator Lodge said
that while he knew little of the cir
cumstances surrounding the alleged
order, he did not approve of cruel
methods in warfare, and every right.
