 "Over and over again it has been said by the advocates of prohibition that the saloon is not the poor mans club" said the bishop.

 Pittsburg March 1.-At g o'clock to- night the Allegheny river marks 32.6 feet and is still rising The flood mark of 1Ss4-33 3-wll in all likelihood be passed, and 35 feet, the highest point ever reached by the waters here, in 1892, may be equaled. It is certain that the great damage done by the 's4 flood will be ex- ceeded by many thousands of dollars, and many more interests will be affected. Already 5000 men have been made tenn porarily idle by the forced closing down of mills, factories and other industries, and the number is likely to be increased by Monday. To the timely warnings giv- en by the government weather bureau officials to all interested may be credited the lack of fatalities.

WAS LINCOLN AN ASSASSIN?

In the light of history, charges in
volving murder, torture and savage
cruelty will scarcely lie against Abra-
ham Lincoln commander-in-chief of
the union armies during the civil war
or against his generals and the armies
they commanded. Nevertheless such
accusations were common in the cop
perhead papers of that time n the
subject of agitation in congress by
bushwacking representatives and SEN
ators.
The rules Of warfare under which the
United States army is operating in the
Philippines are precisely those framed
by a great authority on international
law and approved by the great emanci-
pator. They are the same that con-
trolled the armies of Grant and Sher-
man and Lee. Under these rules Sher-
man left a blackened path Of burned
homesteads and devastated fields sixty
miles wide on his famous march and
Lee RACED northern villages with fire in

Retaliation Excusable.

Senator Shelby M. Culiom, of Illinois,
in a recent speech says:
"Our soldiers in the Philippines have
been subtecter to more atrocities, per-
hapes, than any other army in the
world, and it Is but natural there should
be deep resent ment on the part Of the
troops and IL desire to retaliate. Our
boys have been stabbed in the back by
supposedly friendly natives, buried
alive, mutilated, tortured in the most
fiendish manner, and nave been suhjec-
ted to cruelties which seem beyond the
conception of the human mind.
I'VE are not cruel people and our SOL
diers are not savages. They love fair
treatment and respect an honorable foe.
But when the natives Of the Philippine
islands, who pretend to be u friends,
assassinate our soldiers it is not strange
there Is a desire to retaliate and that
the natives who were guilty of these
atrocities were made to pay the penalty
in some instances. No civilized person
could defend the practice of torture I'M

seems to be some excuse for 1T When

street. The address was given by Sam
uel A. Hopkins. a Marlboro street ply

attention to the subject.
Il have for a long time been greatly

ize that nearly all disease germs find
a lodging place in the mouth and enter
the system thru the mouth; when we
realize that two-thirds of the digestive
disturbances are caused by faulty
teeth; when we appreciate how many
diseases of the eyes n ears and other
parts of the body are due to troubles
of this kind, 1t would seem as if it was

think they will benefit by trying to
blacken the illustrious achievements of
the American army they are much mis-
taken. We have been silent under the
senseless attacks, but the country be-

army of today is made up Of u threats

THE army needs no defense, but the
time is past when we should sit in
silence and listen to outrageous insults
heaped upon the service which has al

our men have suffered and let them de-
eide whether or not the few instances
of torture were justified.

THE MATTER IN HAND.

When a person of an inquiring turn
recently asked Former Secretary Long
his opinion of the prospects of the re-
publican party in 1904 Mr.. Long
promptly informed him that the year is
too far ahead to talk about. Mr.. Long
saw the necessities of 1902 more than
the probabilities or possibilities Of 1901.
Without doubt he intended to convey to
his Q~uestioner the fact that the present
is always master of the future and that
q wise administration of affairs and
strict attention to the matters in hand
are the surest promises of future sue
cesses. He probably had in mind The
coming congressional W. and the
settlement of veXing questions that oc-
cupy the public mind. He meant that
nn prospect of political success or de-
feat could excuse any dereliction, how
ever temporary, from the consideration
of these great questions, to speculate on
the presidential chances two years

POPULAR SELECTION OF u. S. SENATORS.

The action taken by the Illinois re-
publican convention yesterday would
seem to minimize the necessity of a
constitutional amendment providing for
tn eelection Of United States senators
by popular vote, which has been and is
being strongly urged and favored by a
respectable number of newspapers. The
Illinois convention passed a resolution
recognizing the fitness and ability of
Hon. A. j. Hopkins for the position of
United States senator from that state,
heartily endorsed his candidacy for
that position and requested the men,
bly, of Illinois to elect him TO represent
that state in the senate of the United
States, q statement of the position and
wishes of the people equivalent TO a
command and n which will doubtless
be obeyed to the letter.
There can be no doubt that the ac-
ton of the convention is simply an ex-
preston of the popular wish. Mr.. Hop
kins' canvas had covered every county
of the state and his appeal was made
directly to the voter. The campaign
had been fought from town to town AMI
from county to county. The fight be-
tween himself and Mr.. Mason. the sem
ator whom ne will succeed, had begun
in the township and the opportunity of
the individual voter to express his
preference of choice between the two
men could not have been made easier
by a primary election. The people Were
given the initiative quite as thoroughly,
1t would seem, as a constitutional
amendment might accomplish.
Perhaps the Illinois idea is the better.
1t is in the line of local option, at any
rate, and illustrates the ease with
which the voters of a state may express
their decided preferences when they
see fit to do so. Tie people of the state
of Illinois have selected their senator
and left their legislature nothing to do
but express a formal approval. So rQay
the people Of any other state.

New York Herald.1 -. -.
Probbaly the most noted war nurse
now living is a resident of Des Moines,
Iowa. She is Familiarity known as
Aunt Becky" altho her name is really
Mrs. Anne Young. She has founded
two state sanitary associations.
When Sumter was fired on Anne
Graham was a girl of II; her two
brothers and many of her friends had
enlisted and Anne longed to be a man
that she might enter the anks. When
rews of the wounded filled the papers
Anne decided hat if she couldn't fight
for her country she could at least care
for those who a so bravely risked
their lives.
Two years after Sumter was fired on
the One Hundredth and Ninth New
York volunteers was organized in her
town, with Benjamin F. Tracy, after
ward secretary of the navy under
President Harrison, at the head of the
regiment.
Anne Graham had found her oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Tracy knew the family
we'll, knew of Anne's ambition and also
of her skill in a sick room. He imme-
diately obtained for her a permit to
join the regiment as 4 regular army
nurse, and she promptly marched to
The front with the One Hundred and
Ninth volunteers.
She served during the remainder of
the war from the Wilderness to Peters
burg.
Mrs. Young tells an amusing story of
how the soubriquet of Aunt Becky"
came to be bestowed upon her. The
boys in the hospital. feeling a tender
ress for the young girl who worked so
earnestly to relieve their sufferings,
persisted in calling her Mother" The
title was given her by a young captain
whom she brought back to life by care

up. She objected to that name, being
so young and feeling that the title
added too many years to her life.
One day she reprimanded, in a jok-
ing way, a young soldier who had used
the familiar term. DR.. French, of the

Shortly after the war Aunt Becky
