A temperate article on temperance
from The American is republished in
part in this issue, which is worthy of
careful perusal. Advocates of whisky
claim, and with some truth, that the
great nations of the world are the
great consumers of strong drink They
are great in spite of, not because of,
their indulgences; and the point is ad-
mirably taken in the article referred to
that the great men of these nations do
not drink.

DEATH OF OTIS WAS DEcREED.
Plot Said to Have Been Approved by
Aguinaldo.


Washington, April 15.-While exam
lining papers captured from Filipino in
surance agents, Captain John NJ. Tay-
lor of the Fourteenth infantry has dis
covered a remarkable document, en-
dorsed on the back with a direction to
kill General Otis That endorsement,
Captain Taylor insists, is in the hand
writing Of Aguinaldo, the insurgent
chief. The translation of the docu-
ment was:
Our Honorable President: We, the
signers. who subscribe the declaration
appended by these presents, protest
against the American proclamation.
We recognize no authority but that of
God and the authority of the govern
ment, and we offer our lives and prop
erty for the independence of our coun-
try.

On the back is written in the hand
writing of Aguinaldo:
'Lebereno Kotionko, Feliciano de
Cruz, to kill General Otis. Commits

Captain Taylor's Letter.
Captain Taylor called the attention
of the chief of the bureau of insular
affairs to this document in a letter in
which he says:

son between them and the handwriting
of this note will show it's identity.
ION Jan. 4, 1892 a proclamation was
issued by General Otis, in which he
declared the sovereignty of the United
States over the Philippines. Many pro-
tests were drawn up in the Philippines
against this. Most of them were drawn
up by order of the insurgent govern
ment, but this letter was probably I'M

King Edward VII has sent the deco
ration of st. Michael and St. George
to Father Hecht, of the Oblates Of
Mary Immaculate, a missionary in
South Africa, according to letter re-
ceived here the other day. The event
is said to- be without parallel. The
Order of st. Michael and st. George
numbers only $50 members, confined
to princes of the royal blood and great
oignitaries of the English court. In
admitting Father Hecht to member
ship King Edward desires to express
the appreciation of England for the
care given by the Oblates of Mary
Immaculate to the wounded during the

The advance toward the Catholic
church which has been made at Shore

to the study of the past. The clergy

and practice with the early Church of
England, and when they go back he

1t is, OF course, impossible for them to
be other than papal, though they NAV

gress by Representative Brownlow,
Of Tennessee. Is just the way TO Sc
oure this needed public Improvement.
Mr.. Brownlow's plan is to have a
national bureau Of public roads with
corps OF engineers and other offlci-
ais to cooperate. assist and instruct
in the building Of modern public roads
in the different states; the sum Of
$50 100000 to be appropriated at the
outset for this work
This money Is to be divided among
the various states in proportion 10
population It is provided that where
there is an application for the con
struction Of a road, if it be approved
by the director, then he is to have Il
mapped and surveyed, and then the
United states is to award a contract
for the work and pay one-half a.,
cost. the state, county or individuals
TO pay the other half
Il is easy to see where there is
grave danger in such a plan In the
! first place. the chances are a national
bureau of good roads would soon be-
come either extravagant or corrupt.
and the peoples money would be
squandered as It has been in river
and harbor work. But the main OBJ
lection would, probably, lie in the
fact that II IS turning over to the
national government functions that
properly and naturally belong to the
state and county governments. there
by placing the whole system on an
unpopular and impracticable basis.
If It were intended to provide a
national fund on which the state and
county authorities might draw when
undertaking approved road improve
ments. some of this objection might
be removed But, after all, the gov
ernment cannot and should not undof-
take to do for localities in this man

may believe that great good is to be

ever that every state has It in its
power to provide itseli with mod

lively little burden to itself And the
state should be looked to for it's own

country house. Chatting with the
visitor, the woman Of the house told
of her difficulty in getting along and
OF an experience she had had with a
boarder.
"The first morning this man stop
ped here" she said, she began to eat
boiled eggs very greedily. Egg after
egg he ate-three, four, five, six-and
it was only the yolk of them that he
swallowed; the white he didn't bother
with at all.
when he dug his spoon into the
seventh egg my temper got the bet
ter of me, and I said in severe tone:
" Don't you ever eat the white of
the eggs, sir?'
Surely not, my woman he an
swered. ''The yolk is the bird; the
white is the feathers. Would you
