Secretary Hitchcock is at his sum

around the department would discuss

inclined to think the report that the

AL Napoleon, a dissolute Puyallup
Indian, is in the Pierce county hos
pital with his feet frozen and sore, the
result of exposure. He escaped from
the Indian hospital on the reservation,
where he was recovering from crazy
debauch, and wandered in the brush
stark naked from 8 o'clock Friday
night until dusk Saturday, when he
was captured by a party of white men
in the Indian addition after q hard
fight. 1t took six men 20 hold him.
Throwing q horse-blanket around the
man, he was placed in a hack after
much difficulty and vas landed in the
county Jail. Amy insanity he might
have had soon disappeared. The soles
Of his feet were literally raw and
bleeding from exposure on the ice and
he was in terrible condition. AL
though his Indian friends knew he
was wandering about in an exposed
condition, they had a superstitious
dread Of touching him, and so lett the
Ell fierer to his fate in the woods. AL
Napoleon is the Indian who figured in
the drunken debsuch after buying q
saloon in Tacoma some time ago.

Republicans have not the necessary
two-thirds majority to pass a treaty.
The Democrats will vote for it, how
ever, as the question is not a party
one. But will make it clear that they
do not approve of the high-handed way
in which the Administration dealt with
the Panama revolution, or of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reckless disregard of
American policy and the rights OF
South American nations.
AS was said by prominent Colom-
bian. There is nothing to be hoped
for by the republics of South America
from President Roosevelt. AS an en-
peror, second Kaiser Wilhelm, this
man would be success, but as Pres
ident OF public-he is an anomaly"

A PLEA FOR THE HELPLESS.
A Gentle Heart Emplorss Kindness for Those
Who Cannot Speak for Themselves.

A Gentle Heart Emplores Kindness for Those
Who Cannot Speak for Themselves.
ED. STANDARD:
The article entitled 1.-THE Cruelty OF
Man," in the STANDARD of Dec. 4th,
should awaken something more than
sense of pity soon forgotten, in hearts
that can feel.
When such state OF affairs, as that
which is recorded therein, comes to
pass, it surely is time to act. Tears of
compassion and words from the pen of
the merciful are good, but to do some
thing is better. There are men and
women many, many of them, who
could not harm even the least of Gods
Observation-Disclosures they are the
ones to blame for the continuance of
cruelty to animals. They have eyes
that see and ears that hear the suffer-
ings of the defenseless animal creation.
1t is therefore their duty to put an end
to it. The power of law is back of
them, not only the law of God-Right
but the law OF the land.
Humane societies everywhere are
ready to deal with all cruelties which
are reported and proved to them, and
they would be stronger and more pow
erful in their work were they better
supported and encouraged by the
thousands of men and women who
have love and mercy for all the ami
mails, yet never take any practical
steps toward wiping cruelty off the
face of the earth.
l was told by an active member of
the Humane Society in the East, that
they would abandon the work Of the
society were it not that it would be
forsaking the poor animals; that the
opposition was almost too great to be
borne, and that only a few of those
who loved animals we're any help at
all in the work. This is the reason
that such atrocities as recorded in the
article. The Cruelty OF Man," can be
practiced-because we do not put
stop to it. Every community should
have an active humane society, and
that society should watch over and
protect the helpless animals. If it is
deemed necessary to life and happiness
that they be killed, certainly it can
be done mercifully. Any argument
brought to bear on the necessity OF
cruelty is false argument.
When those who love the animals
look around and see the needless suf-
fering heaped upon them by those
who should be their protectors; when
we see their appealing ways, telling us
so plainly their great need of love and
kindness, we cannot help yearning for
that true religion to come into the
hearts of all men, which will make
them tender and gen tie, and loving not
only to each other but to every living
thing. When that true religion does
control the lives of all mankind, the
animals will be seen and treated 40
their loving Creator intended they
should be. Until then, We must EN-.
ploy the law to save them from heart
lessness.
1t 10 the voice of God which speaks
in the heart and urges the protection
OF those 80 dependent upon us for COM
fort and happiness. Why should we
hesitate to act, to insist upon justice
and mercyf ISABEL LEE.

MORE RUMORs OF WAR.-Another
war-cloud has appeared in the East.
A Russian squadron consisting Of
eight war.ships, including two battle
ships, has arrived at Chemulpo, Korea,
to support Russia's opposition to
opening the port Of Yongampho to the
commerce of the world. The Japan
csc government is buying war mater
ial. and the impression has gained
ground that the prospect Of peace so
confidently held has been overshad-
owed.

tions were adopted by the Church Of

BEATEN BY ISTEMPERATE ZEAL
There seems to be very general con-
census of opinion that, from the very
force OF adverse circumstances in the
Republican organization, victory would
have perched on the banner of their
opponents had the dissenting faction
been guided by little more diplom-
acy. It is the razor whetted in Gil
which cuts deeply and decisively,
while the bludgeon only batters and
bruises. Had the Recorder rendered a
quiet, gentlemanly aid to the Demo-
cratic ticket, instead OF abusing its
own party's nominees, in place OF
electing only the Attorney we might
have scored majorities for all from the
Mayor down. The disposition to over
do in such matters may be creditsble
to the zeal, but not the judgment, Of
its leaders. There is a sympathetic
vein in human nature that is aroused
by malevolence which unerringlv
aligns itself with those who are I'M
justly charged with the commission OF
official acts involving turpitude the
people know does not exist. The op.
portunity was lost by over-zeal. The
occasion, ripe for revolt, was allowed
to pass by through that intense hatred
which unnerves the aggressor. Let
experience be the teacher if success
may crown future efforts.

Bryan in England.

Richard Croker met William J..
Bryan in London, last week, aud
strongly urged the great commoner
to consent to a third nomination for
the Presidency. When Mr.. Bryan
suggested other men for the standard
bearer, he refused to consider them for
a moment, and insisted that Mr.. Bryan
had an influence with his party pos
sessed by no other man, and he was
willing to stake his reputation as a
political prophet that Mr.. Bryan, if
nominated, would this time win.
1t now appears that it was Mr..
Bryan's principal object, in visiting
England, to enlist Mr.. Croker's influ-
ence for another candidate, whom that
gentleman unceremoniously refused to
consider as an available candidate.
Mr.. Bryan's reception in England
was probably the most complimentary
of any private citizen who ever visited
that continent. 1t was hardly over

lism, with all of whom Mr.. Bryan
created favorable impression by his
frankness, candor and the intelligent
opinions expressed.
Mr.. Bryan's speech before the Ma
tional Liberal Club, an English society
and nearly all to the manor born, every.
body appeared to appreciate. His clear
insight in political matters, and his
happy mode OF expressing his views on
practical matters. were the subject of
comment. At the American Society's
banquent, he made profound impres.
sion. No other speaker had ever elicit.
ed the attention or applause from any
social function of that organization.
1t is presaged that Mr.. Bryan's visit
to Ireland will meet with still more
enthusiastic demonstration.
