Chicago, Feb 15.--McKinley's assassi-

meeting Of the Daughters of the Revolu-

Mrs. Marguerite Warren Springer con-
Quoted the meeting.
'"The Blight Of the Army was the sub
ject of the speakers talk. She deplored
the military spirit which she said had
taken possession Of people since Dewey S
victory. Dewey, she said, was received
with honors and adulation by people
who should have been far enough adj
vanced to deplore the necessity for his
slaughter of human beings. The pOpu-
lar lack of imagination she attributed as
the reason for such conditions.
eff the people had suffice Mt power of
imagination to see the other side of the
picture Of war they would mot enthuse
over military pomp and glory" she de-
clared, "War brutalizes population. 1t
causes them to become reckless of human
life. I think the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley a legitimate result of the
spirit of .1nilitarism and recklessness OF
bloodshed which has prevailed in this
country ever since the victory on Dewey"

Suggested by Loss of the Gunboat Condor

London, Feb. 15-"H. M. S. Phaeton

This laconic cablegram, and the guam
tity of ships wreckage washed up on the
shores Of the Pacific, may be all that we
shall ever hear of the fate Of the gunboat
Condor, that has vanished from the face
Of the deep as silently and mysteriously
as any phantom Of the night. The sea,
notwithstanding the achievements of
science, says the Leader, still holds its
secrets as tenaciously as, when Columbus
in his crazy barques defied it's unexplored
terrors Ever and anon a ship disap-

haps it may have split on a sunken rock;
a typhoon that has gathered force in the

seas, or impale itself on dereilct; or,
worst fate of all, 1t may fall victim to
FIRE, surely the most awful Of the dangers
to which those who go down to the sea
In ships are exposed.

and to vote any other way would be to
ALLEVIATE useful anti-saloon votes. Mean
time New York is a wide open city on
Sunday; everybody knows that. You can
get drink in almost any corner, illegally
1t is true, but with no worse bottle of
evasion than going in at the side door
instead of by the front. Of course the
up-staters lift Mortified hands to heaven
and inveigh against the metropolis as
modern Babylon. But if New York opens
its saloons on Sunday and declines to en-
force the excise law in this respect, it is
cup to- the republican state administra-
ton. The howlers about New York's mi
guilty have conveniently forgotten that
there is such body as the state excise
board. This apparently obsolete organ
ization was contrived ostensibly to en-
force the excise laws in any community
which wouldn't or couldn't enforce them
itself. it has the power of revoking the
license of any saloon detected in violation
of the law. If the state administered ion
really wished to stop illegal Sunday liquor
selling in-New York it could do so in six
weeks through this agency. 1t hasn't
done so. Nobody ever hears Of the state
excise board. What has become of that
body, anyhow? Doesn't it do anything
but draw in list of salaries?

Local Traffic a Menace TO Life and Limb

old crippled man caught in the current.
His cane was wrested away from him,
then his crutch; he fell in heap and
would vexy likely have been trampled to
death but for a huge, and half drunken
longshoreman who seemed to be the one
human specimen in the mob. He stood
over the helpless old man, brandlshing
huge fists and threa teEings a variety of
profane retribution upon any one who
should attempt to run over him. The po-
lice finally got the cripple out of the
way. Down stairs where the trolley lines
come in, conditions are as bad and some
times worse. The solid masses of waiting
people are literally showed apart by the
tenders of the cars as they come in On
the Bridge and on the elevated roads
alike the trouble seems likely to grow
worse all the time. Trains are run, in the
rush hours, as close as is compatible with
safety; sometimes a trife closer. Relief
from better train service is impossible,
apparently. The new East River bridge
is nearer, but that will not afford much
relief In fact it is doubtful whether any
Of the projected systems will afford more
than a temporary relief since they Gre
ate their own public as fast as they are
completed The greatest possible bene-
factor this city could have would be some
genius who could devise and carry out
universal system applicable to city so
situated geographically, that it is being
strangled by it's natural barriers to ex-

New York, Feb 15.-To drink or not
to drink, that is the Sunday question
that is still occupying the public mind;
whether it's better, on the whole, to
honor law that no one seems to have
much use for, or take the side door
and dodge it. To the ATTEMPTED solu-
lions of the excise SphinX's riddle Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has now added
another He has gone up to Albany
with his little bill in his pocket pro-
viding for the opening of saloons be-
tween the hours of 1 and II o'clock D. m.
Perhaps he fondly believes that the child
of his imagination has a chance of pass
ing and becoming a law If so, he is in
class all by himself, for everybody else
knows what hte legislature will do to that
little bill when it comes up. There are
large numbers of country gentlemen in
Albany who are waiting for that bill with
wide, sinister grins and well-poised axes.
1t is doubtful whether it's remains will be
recognizable by the fond parent when it
is all over There is no hope for any
bill that looks toward solving this veXed
question by common sense.

last year that New Zealand ship was
given up as lost after being reported for
many weeks as missing but one fine

widespread popularity is concerned,

hardly heavier than egg-shells, so that

London, Feb. 15.-An obscure grave in
Edmonton burial ground hides a life
tragedy of more than passing interest. In
1t lies Inferred Samuel Back, who a few
years ago was one of the leading men in
the Hebrew congregation at Jerusalem.
1t is no uncommon thing In London for
men to die Of hunger, and that was the
fate Of Back. With few persons has the
wheel of fortune been so capriciouss as
1t has been with the tenant of the Ed
monitor grave. Thirty years ago his
father, Eisen Back, was one of the fore
most and wealthiest men in Jerusalem,
and when he died the son succeeded to
his honors and emoluments. 1t is of
record that when Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria visited Jerusalem he passed
through its ancient streets arm in arm
with Eisen Back, and there is little doubt
that the son at the same time was hon
ored with the emperor's attentions.
But change came, when Samuel Back
lost his fortune in building operations
