PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS.

The officers Of our army are entitled
to the support and sympathy OF all
patriotic people. They are not re-
sponsible for the war in the Philip
pines. As has been said before, the
very men who are now most bitter
in their denunciation Of the admin
istration of affairs in the Philippines
and of the Republican party in gen.
eral, and the papers that even go so
far as to misquote members of con-
gress in their sefforts to malign the
officers of our army, were principally
to blame for the war which resulted
in the acquisition of the Philippines.
II was these same kind of men and
journals that urged day after
day war with Spain, despite the
efforts Of President Mckinley to go
slowly, and peaceably settle the trou-
BILE. If possible; something that might
have been done but for the attitude Of
the yellow press, the hysterical Dem
ocrats and the ferocious sentiment
they aroused. The Philippines became
ours by right of purchase. The semi
civilized barbarians who infest the
Islands had no title to it, and are
lighting simply because it is their
nature. and they have little else to &C.
cupy their time. They know nothing
about work, taking them as class !
food growso trees the year around
and they will doubtless fight as long
as there is anything to fight, or as
long as they think they will stand a
chance Of getting more that way than
by becoming domesticated.
Hence our soldiers are simply there
to do their duty, and their duty Is TO
obey orders and enforce the suprein'
acy of American arms. They are
there to fight, to kill, to burn II
necessary, or to do anything else that
is deemed essential to the suppression
of the instruction. Our officers are
there. and are better able.t to Judge
what is best to protect our soldiers
and our flag than the loud-mouthec
demagogues in congress, some OF whom
are disgrace to their country an'
are reproach to the greatest law
making body on earth. When tn
war is over. if there are any OF tn
treacherous insurrectionists left, w
may try the policy of tanning then
with kind words and benevolen
deeds, and converting them withou
the aid of the water cure" or a fey
ounces of powder and lead, Unit
they are all dead, however, 1t Will b
a dangerous undertaking.
1t is certain, however, no cor
gresham would dare say outside

1t seems hard that man who will
pass a Confederate bill on another and
secure $40 in money, which is Virtu-
ally stealing, should 60 free, but the
best way TO avoid such things is not
to swap good money for Confederate
money. 4 person who practices this
old fraud cannot be convicted OF pass
ing counterfeit money, because it is
not counterfeit money. He cannot be
arrested for obtaining money by false
pretenses, as in nine cases out of ten
he merely puts down the bill and
collects the change, without making
any pretense at all. He can not be
called TO account for larceny. as he
does not secure the money except with
the owners knowledge and consent
so he usually gets the money and
goes free

The ordinance to provide system
of street sprinkling is a good one,
and will be Endorsed for economy,
comfort and improved sanitary con-
ditions. The cost under such an or
d;nance will be TO each property
holder less than it costs for water
rent alone where the streets are
srpinkied with yard hose. 1t is es.
timsted that the cost for the entire
season will be about 10 cents foot.
The benefits to be derived can be ap-
preciated only by those who have
lived in cities where street sprinkline
is done regularly by contract. II
saves the streets, cools the atmosphere,
lays the dust and improves the sani-
tary condition of place. The con-
tract is let to the lowest bidder. in
surfing the works being done as cheap

The so-called beef trust is fake
pure and simple. Local butchers who
buy their own stock from the farmer
or stock raiser say that meat is always
high this time of the year, and it has
often been higher than now. The in
crease is caused by scarcity Of cat
tie, by the high price Of feed and the
fact that some of the great govern
ment lands have been eaten clean, and
this had had the effect ct both raising
feed by reason of the increased de-
mand for it, and reducing the supply
of good, marketable cattle, forcing
the meat supply to be drawn from
new and sometimes remote channels,
as consequence raising the price.
Meat is high everywhere, in sections
that have never known the influence
Of trust, as well as in the cities.

The stables of France are nothing but

joyment and wonder; at the country peo-

long cloaks; at the quiet fair roads which
multiplied themselves until we often
paused enchanted In a fairy world of
sameness; at market towns, where foun-
tains in the squares were often older than
America, the country out Of which we ar
rived.
Skenedonk heard without shifting a
muscle all Doctor Chantry's grievances:
and told him we ought to cherish them,
for they were views of life we could not
take ourselves. Few people are made so
delicately that they lose color and rail at
the sight Of raw tripe brought In by a
proud hostess to show her resources for
dinner; or at a chicken coming upon the
table with it's head tucked beneath it's
wing.

sustain himself on it though it proved

a cart to lift him and our knapsacks from
village to village, with q driver who knew
the road to Paris. When the distances
were long we sometimes mounted beside
him. I noticed that the soil Of this coun-
try had not the chalk look Of other lands
which I afterwards saw to the east and
north; but Napoleon was already making
good the ancient thoroughfares.

HOW HITCHCOCK ARRIVED"
Funny Man OF "king Dodo" Had Many
TrIbuIations Before He Made

A few months in the chorus Of the w.
T. Carleton Opera company convinced
Raymond Hitchcock, who plays the title
role in king Dodo," that he would have
hard time being as funny as he could
in that organization, so he became a
minstrel. For two years he was an end
man in Charley Whites company, rat
ting the bones, humping the tambourine,
and helping to pull the interlocutor's
chestnuts out Of the fire. He found it
such hard work that he fell back on his
mournful face and pathetic voice and be-
came the. leading tragedian of ten
twent- thirt' travelling combination.
Hitchcock himself says that fond and
hattering friends who think his king
Dodo' amusing should see his original
creation Of Shylock. Once he played
istically in Wisconsin town that before
| morning half Of the leading citizens had
departed for parts unknown. '.~
Mr.: Hitchcock's real life work appears
to be the making of many people laugh
by dressing up in ridiculous clothes and
doing funny things. He got started a
number Of years ago with one Of the
Castle Garden Opera companies in a
| minor capacity. And he had pretty
| hard time Of it at first.
| Hitchcock has an ambition to write a
comic opera-at least he did have. 1t
| was eight years ago that he wrote the
| book for masterpiece in three acts,
| which was called king Johannes" Louis
r. Gottschalk wrote the music and the
only reason the thing wasn't a bowling
success was the fact that Mr.. Hitchcock 8
kind and thoughtful landlady burned up
| two coal scuttles full Of the last act one
| day in a we'll meant effort to tidy up his
room. Since then he has Stunned the
muse and stuck to amusing other people.
