1T IS COwARDICE.

The following article was written by
the late Patrick Henry Winston and pro-
duced in the weekly bearing his name at
\ time when the candidacy Of a certain
aspirant for the United States senate
was first mooted. 1t will bear REPETITION
now. when the possibility has become y
stern reality:
"rhe severe language of truth is rarely
welcome. This journal, howeve. be-
lieves that as the only way for men to
improve their condition is to know the
truth i, is best to deal in facts. There
are some easy to understand, for in.
stance, how men are moved or more
easily persuaded by the wles Of the
demagosue than by the truths OF the
logician. We also understand that all
instincts are reducibr 70 the instinct OF
self-preservation, and that whatever
man believes necessary for self.pre-
servation that he will do. But why do
men do that which is neither pleasing to
them, nor necessary for their preserva
ton?
For example. man t... .cquire
wealth by dishonest methods. He will
loot bank, or steal q M. or wreck an
enterprise, or rob an estate, We under
stand that. After he has done this and
become rich he will seek to square him.
self with the community by ostentatious
deeds of charity, or he will seek to cover
the scars Of his iniamy with political
honors, so that he may be spoken Of.
not as rogue or an oppressor OF his fell
low men, but as a philanthropist or &C.
cupying the high station. We under.
stand that.
But why do those that he has plumber
ed, those that he has oppressed, those
that know his true character and utter
untittness permit him to use them for
this purpose?
We will suppose, as is generally the
case, that he does not possess a single
qualification for the Office to which he
aspires. In order TO reach it he must oh.
tain the consent Of majority of the
voters. How does he do so:
He doesn't buy the votes Of hismaior-
ity. Then why do they vote for him,
either directly or through their repre-
sentatives? There must be reason
for it..
At first blush it would seem impossi.
Bile for such one to obtain the votes of
his fellow men. If majority Of them
were as destitute OF principle rs he, that
would explain it, but they are not.
Nor is it due to ignorance.
There isn't man in this community,
nor any other, whose true character isn't
sufficiently we'll known for the public to
form true estimate OF him.
1t is plain why the well.to-do tolerate
his pretenslons. There is bond OF
sympathy between the rich, just as there
is between the poor. which unites them
in spite OF differences OF character.
But why do the poor lend him their
aid?
There can be but one reason. 1t is
cowardce.
Either they stand in awe OF his wealth
or they are afraid of the power that it
gives him.
He has whipped them.

Minister Powell Protests

PORT Az PRINCE, Hayti, Aug. A.
The city of Port Au Prince is in state
of great disorder. Bands of soldiers,
throwing stones. prevent the Syrians
reopening their stores. American cit
izens have hoisted the Stars and
Stripes over their residences and
number of them have sought refuge in
the American legation, driving thither
in carriages flying the American flag
and pursued by the populace, throwing
stones.
After the disorders of the morning
Minister Powell went to the palace and
demanded OF President Nord that the
Government should. take immediate
action to protect all foreigners and
their property, demanding especially
that American interests be protected.
The President. sent for the Minister
Of the Interior and the Military Gov
ernor and ordered them to take imme-
date steps to stop the disorders and
for this purpose to send troops and
police to the disturbed districts.
The energetic and prompt action Of
Minister Powell has no doubt saved
the property and lives of foreigners
and prevented greater disturbances.
WASHINGTON, Aug. At is GU
rious fact that while Minister Leish-
man at Constantinople is seeking to
secure from the Turkish Government
certain rights for American citizens
there, Powell, our Minister to Hayti,
should be engaged in protecting Turk
ish subjects in Port Au Prince and in
the rest of the Haytian island. 1t is
done at the request of the Turkish
Government.
Many Of the Syrians and Armenians
now in the West Indies are American
citizens by naturalization, but the ma
jority have not renounced their Turk
ish nationality. Powell is caring for
all alike.

UNSoPHISTICATED MEXICAN
CUTS TELEGRAPH WIRES
Uses Material for Fences, Believing 1t
to Be of Service to No

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. Am
unsophisticated Mexican was the
cause of no little trouble by interfer-
ing with the telegraphic communica-
ton in the southwestern portion of
the State during the latter part of last
week and his guileless explanations
SAVIOR of frontier days when the loco
motive was first introduced and tele-
graph wires were in their infancy
Last Friday the poles and tele-
graph wires were cut for a consider
able distance in two places between
Laredo and San Antonio. Late yes
terday afternoon a Mexican who has
a small ranch at Devine was arrested
in connection with the matter. When
charged with the crime the Mexican
readily admitted that he did the cut
ting of the wires and had removed the
poles. In extenuation he pleaded that
for many months he had watched the
wires and had never seen anything go
over them and therefore concluded
that they were of service to no one
and had probably been abandoned. AS
he needed wire and poles for fencing
he had cut down the latter and used
his hatchet on the former. The Of
ficers found considerable of the wire
neatly strung around the ranch. The
Mexican was jailed and will have his
explanation to make to the court.

He says: Though they have saved

Ryberg declares that the reserva-

that four to six colonies between Point
Barrow and the mouth Of the Yukon
will solve the problem in two years.
With the help of rich Nome miners
Ryberg last winter purchased a road

helped the EskimOs build thirteen fgloos
