seWHAT CONSTITUTES A REPUB-
LICAN'5

A republican writing to the Chi
eago Inter Ocean says After forty
FIVE years OF active political life am
compelled to ask What constitutes a
cIares that many republicans are in
the same state OF uncertainty, and
says this is so because so many rec
Ognized republican leaders do not
seem positive that they stand for any
thing, nor to be uucOmprOmisingl for
or against anything
In the house recently Champ Clark
consumed considerable time in an ef-
fort to persuade Congressman Lacey
Of Iowa to admit that Governor Cum
minis is republican But he failed.
The question submitted by the IN
ter Ocean reader would perhaps be
more readily answered BY citing those
who have been read out Of the re-
publican party Distinguished Iowa
republicans do not regard Governor
Cummins as a republican; Cummins
has insisted upon the destruction OF
the shelter which the trusts ind IN
the tariff, and demands that the peO-
pie OF Iowa be granted protection
from corporate imposition LaFOl-

fused to give his following seat in
that convention
The republicanism Of such men as
LaFOIIette and Cummins has been re-

the temerity to question the repubii-

The men who stand resOlUteiy for
special interests and who never raise
a voice against corporate imposition
are true blue republicans
The men who dare TO suggest that
the republican party do something by
way Of calling a halt to greedy men,
and protecting the people from the

these men prove themselves faith

in theory is the party of God and
morality but in fact is the party OF

Christian Ideals.

In relation to questions involved,
there are two principal divisions Of
the temperance reform. The question
Of the drink habit, Ought a person
nc in drink, its sale and manufacture,
and duty regarding these.
Some Of the ideals wrapped up in
the temperance reform are now -
and appreciated by he country as a
whole. The ideal Of total abstinence
is so accepted, although not by any
means lived up to by all who hold
this ideal. Total abStainence-the
Ideals endorsed generally by the
and industrial world Gas shown by
their rulings and expressed prefer
enceS in employment Of labor, the
life insurance societies Gin -discrimi-
mating in favor OF the total abstainers
as the safer risk, the most Of the
religious press and not infreQuentfy
by editorial endorsement in our large
daily papers The inconsistency OF
some Of these same dailies in adver-
Using liquors, only adds emphasis to
the ideals which they preach in their
editorials
Some Of the ideals regarding the
{ traffic, or the trade" as liquor jour
mails are wont TO phrase it, that are
wrapped up in the reform, are less
recognized, and have been less dwelt
upon But they must be recognized
and applied in order to win God s
blessing and achieve national victory.
One Of these ideals IS, "A Christian
nation ought to get its revenues from
some other source than from the vice,
misery, degradation, and destruction
Of its people"
Our federal government now re-
ceives large revenue for the national
treasury from taxing the manufac-
ture and sale, wholesale and retail, Of
the liquors that kill the people BY
thousands every year and are the most
powerful cause Of wretchedness,
exists. Such revenue is heavy with
blood. and is furnished BY the victims
and BY the impoverished homes that
contribute patrons to the saloon Such
Is equally bad, whether il be held that
consent is given or not given at the
same time that the revenue IS taken
Year BY. year the national government
sets the example to its own states and
to the other nations Of the world that
this evil thing shall be made a source
OF revenue to the government The
federal example has been followed BY
states, countries, that these lesser gov
ernments were also willing TO take
revenue from 50 wicked, infamous,
and destructive a source

Alcoholic drink is playing a part
in the Moorish question. The intro
duction of intOxicants has aggravated
all sorts Of troubles and about three
weeks ago, at the AlgeciraS confer
ence, he Moorish delegate proposed
that an almost prOhibitive tax be
placed upon the importation Of alcO-
hOlic beverages The proposal was
unanimously rejected with mingled
feelings of amusement and annoy
ance," so the European papers say.
The Christian nations Of Europe are,
therefore, forcing this alcoholic drink
into land where it is prohibited both
by custom and religion.

To Prohfbft PoIyeamy.

The following resolution has passed
both houses OF the New York legisla-
Washington and TO the legislatures Of
other states. Similar action by all the
states would soon settle the question
Of an amendment 10 the federal con-
stitutiOn forever prohibiting pOlyga-
my:
Whereas, It appears from investi-
cation recently made by the senate Of
the United States, and otherwise that
pOiygamy still exists in certain places
in the United States Notwithstanding
prohibitory statutes enacted by the
several states thereof, and
Whereas, The practice Of pOlygamy
is generally condemned by the peO-
pie Of the United States and there is
a deman dior the more efectual pro-
hibitiOn thereof by placing the sub
ject under federal jurisdiction and
control, at the same time reServing
to each state the right TO make and
enforce its own laws relating to mar
rage and divorce; now, therefore
Resolved (if the assembly cOncur),
That APPLICATION be and hereby is made
TO congress, under the provisions OF
United States for the calling Of a con-
ventiOn TO propose an amendment 70

whereby pOlygamy and pOlygamOus

congress shall be given power to en-
force such prohibition by appropriate
[ legislation.
Resolved, That the legislatures Of

Dewey and the Gables.

Admiral Dewey grew reminiscent as
the LIST Of May rolled around this year
he narrated to a number OF friends
the manner in which he learned that
there were two cables instead OF one,
as he supposed, in Manila bay.
Il had found and cut one cable"
said the admiral, "and thought that
ended the whole business, as far as
communication went, when a captain
Of a small boat to whom 1 had given
permission to carry out some refugees
from Manila came on board to thank
me for the privilege accorded him. He
had made several hundred dollars out
Of the deal 1 learned incidentally.
While on board he casually remarked:

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Telephone and LansuaEe.


To obtain the best results from the
telephone a well modulated voice and
q crisp, distinct enunciation are neceS-
sary. The soft drawl and the dropping
OF the RS which characterize the south
would make any such change first per-
ceptible there. The telephone should
have a tendency also to cause the west
EN- drawl to disappear.
Talking over the wire naturally Is &C
companied by the feeling that 1t must
be brief and businesslike. This not
only on account Of the tolls charged II
the distance Is considerable, but be-
cause the person who calls up" is
bound to remember that the one to
whom he Is speaking may be busy.
Long distance telephoning. which is
daily coming into greater use, must
also have a certain effect In bringing
the breaking of the language nearer to
q common level This also has been
noticed in the south, where the recent
business and industrial awakening has
suddenly increased the necessity for
communication with other sections OF
the country.
Any change in the talking OF English
made by the telephone Is sure to be
for the better. 1t will mean tones mel
Their too high nor too low and terse.
clear sentences, distinctly articulated.-

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Forest Floor.

As YOU make your way through the
ordinary tract of New England wood
land fallen branches are constantly
cracking under your feet. Nobody
gathers them up, bundles them and
sells them as they do in Europe. The
Fallen debris In time may turn into
mold but pending the conversion It is
tbe always ready kindling stun for
starting or spreading forest fires. The
state of Minnesota, approaching the
danger of leaving this sort Of material
exnosed. compels all lumbermen to
burn up 1.-The slashings," or trimmings,
left after lumberings. and the forest
natrols look to the enforcement Of the
Law Michigan, less wise, has left the
Iumbermen to their own devices, and
+be fires that have swept through her
forests are in no small degree charge
sbIe to her failure to initiate the ex-
annie Of Minnesota. Forest fires are
Estimated to cause damage to the
amount Of S25,0O0,OO0 annually In this
country. and much Of this loss might
be prevented by such a simple and in
eIpensive measure as cleaning the for
est floor Of its litter Of "slashings" and
fallen branches. Foreign countries
compel forest owners to attend to this
matter themselves, and the thrift of
Europeans who are consumers Of flag
ots" does the rest. Probably Ameri-
cans for some time to come will be IN
willing to submit to an autocratic in
spection similar to that European for
est guards carry on, but II they simply
favored their own pockets by gather
ing up the fallen boughs and branches
that now cumber the woodlands they
would so something toward checking

Scientific Slaughter Houses.

Paris, with her genius for organiza-
ton, probably leads the world In
her scientifically conducted slaughter
houses. Almost perfect precautions for
public safety are taken by means Of
the rigorous inspection Of the meat by
the police. There are two immense
municipal abattoirs, and the charge
for slaughtering, known as the "slaugh-
ter house tax" is 2 francs per hundred
kilograms, or about $422 per ton,
which the city sets aside to defray the
cost Of maintaining and repairing the
abattoirs. In round numbers the city
receives 100000 q year.-Public Opin-

Cheap Globe TrOttinE.

What can be done in the way Of
globe trotting nowadays by men Of
limited time and means Is really aston

What the Navy Needs.

The tone Of the naval personnel de-
ponds almost entirely on the higher off,
GERS, those Of command and flag rank.
The Ideals which they hold up to the
younger officers are the ones that are
eagerly followed. In the decade fol-
lowing the civil war, when Admiral
Porter was supreme, this ideal was the
bold sailor who carried canvas till 1t
blew away. AS Commodore Foxhall
Parker said a little later, ''Not to talk
rope was not to be a seaman, In the
opinion Of most officers" As q result
the midshipmen talked and thought
rope" continually and exerted every
effort to become fne seamen.
One would expect that II no oficer
with actual engineering training is
available the one detailed would at
least be q man Of considerable expert
ence and chosen from near the top Of
the list Of those on board. In many
cases the exact reverse Is true, and the
nominal chief engineer Is one Of the
juniors with scarcely any experience
Of any kind. The unfortunate lad who
was In charge Of the Bennington's ma
chinery was next to the lowest COM
missioned oflcer.-W. N. Mcfarland In
