Rev. DR.. Townsend is the name Of a
Unitarian parson said to be well known
in Northern Pennsylvania and West.
ern New York, says the Syracuse. N.
Y. Sun. He has some sort Of mind,
but evidently It is q rather peculiar
one. Last Sunday, according to the
press, he chanted: when one is ilope-
lessly bedridden and is a burden unol'
others, it would not be blasphem 'us
act. but an infinitely beautiful act. for
him to sever the remaining strands H.
the silver cord of life" From the age
of sappho to the era of Yeller willtr
Squealbox it has not been unusual for
impurity to parade in the raiment Of
poetry, but Townsend has sent forth
something new under the sun. With
smirking lips and upraised eyes he has
clad foul, shrinking, cowardly self
murder in the garment Of verse and
asked humanity to accept his produce
ton as the truth. Translated into
plain English, sever the remaining
strands in the silver cord Of life,"
means when you get old and feeble
you ought to cut your own throat"
Shame upon such preachers! They
are menace and a curse. In self
defense social order ought to take
away their Bibles from them and drive
them out Of TIE pulpit "

We realize how popular it is in some
quarters to accuse, those who have
the temerity to in anywise criticise
our administration in the Philippines,
with lack Of patriotism: yet there are
Americans who are not proud Of the
recent slaughter of Moros. Golfers
Weekly expresses the feeling of a
great many when 1t says that the
shooting Of Mo1os armed with little
beyond spears and bolos and only one
hundred and fifty out Of the six hun
dred armed at all, has not seemed to
the country at large brilliant feat
Of arms redounding to the glory Of
America or upholding the nonor OF her
flag. Perhaps the butchery was inevit-
able. II so as a necessity it should be
borne. Women and children slaughter
ed In this military triumph add no
permanent luster to the glory. Their
death also may have been impossible
to avoid; but how anybody can uxuit
over such happening it is not alto
gether easy to conceive. The necessity
for such battle surprised those who
had been equally imbibing official in
formation abou: the peaceful condition
Of this very island.

A Protestant minister was very fond
Of a particularly hot brand Of pickles
and. finding great dimcuity in procur-
ing the same sort at hotels when tray-i

One day, when dining at restaurant
with his pickles in front OF him. 4

and presently asked the minister to

the bottle. and in few minutes saw

Mr.. G. L. Morrill,. commonly known
as the Rev. q. L. Morrill,, has made a
discovery. In accordance with his
usual custom he hastens to mako
known the discovery through the pub
lie press. He has found that Lent is
man made" The discovery was brought
about through an increased amount of
business in the Rev. Morrilrs speciality.
Il wondered why had so many we'd
dings. in Lent. My Sunday Journal
told me. Many Of the ministers are
unwilling to perform the marriage
ceremony during the period" We can
not believe that he objects to the in
creased number Of weddings that come
to him. Neither can we believe that
he objects to Lent simply because he
thinks 1t is ''lnan made" for is not the
peculiar form Of religion which he
breaches and the church in which he
breaches 1t "man made?" No one
knowing anything about the Rev. Nor
rill will for moment believe that he
would object to perform the marriage
ceremony in Lent, for has he not per-
formed marriages in more inappro-
pirate times and places? Was it not
he who q couple Of summers ago per-
formed a marriage ceremony in q
lions den? Whatever else may be his
failing he never misses an opportunity
to see the valuable side Of advertising.

There Is q feature about the CAM
paign that Is now taking place in the
city Of Chicago that commends itself
to oil interested in municipal reforms.
The campaign in Chicago involves the
question whether or not the city shall
vote to issue seventy-five million dol
lars worth Of certificates for the pur-
pose Of acquiring the property Of the
traction companies. The recent de-
cision Of the supreme court Of the
United States has apparently cleared
the way for Chicago's ownership Of its
street railways IL only the money can
be procured. Mayor Dunno. no mat
ter in what other respects he may have
failed. is giving q. good example Of
honesty and straightforwardness in
politics. He Is supporting several Re-
publican candidates for the city coun-
Gil on the ground that they have shown
themselves to be real friends Of muni-
cipal ownership, and he is opposing
have proven themselves unfriendly. The
mayor is willing to disregard his party
label and to support those who are
sincerely friendly to principle that
the mayor believes to be- Of supreme
Importance to the city Of Chicago. The
campaign is furnishing good example
Of nonpartisanship in municipal elec-
tions. The situation presented in Chi
cago at the present time is one that
will become more popular as the years
go by. Party label ought not to be
sufficient to elect or defeat a person for
q municipal office.

A remarkable old man named James
M'Nally, who IS an inmate of the
Home Of the Little Sisters of the Poor
in Meadow-road, South Lambeth, Lon
don, has just entered upon his 10th
year. says the Northwest Review.
A'Nally, who was scnffolder by trade.
was born in Kings County, ireland.
on Feb. 18th. 1897, four years previous
to the union Of England and ireland,
and when George. III was on the
throne. Thus he has lived in three
centuries. and during the reigns Of five
English sovereigns. Notwithstanding
his great age. M'Nally is still in pos
session of all his faculties. his memory
carrying him back to events that hap
pened at the beginning of the last CEN
tury, about which he will talk with a
wonderful volubility to any visitor who
may coll to see him. Until he was
eighty-five he went regularly to work
every day, and, even at that age was
able to climb ladders carrying a hod
of bricks. Fourteen years ago he en-
tered the Home Of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor. Breakfast is M'Nally's prin-
cipal and sometimes his only meal
during the day. He enjoys his pipe
regularly. Each Of his birthdays is
celebrated by fete In the Home. in
which all the inmates. some 800 In
number, as well az the stan. particle
pate. Two years ago. when M'NalE's
great age was brought to the notice
Of the King. his majesty sent an Of
fetal to the Home to inquire after him.
and subsequently sent him present.

A lady need not invite her escort

1t is very bad form to send ones

In declining an invitation, one should
write a personal letter Of regret.
When a man is walking with two
ladies he should take the outside OF,

between the two. ~ s.-.s

Knights Of Columbus are interested
In the case now before the ciyil Com
mon Pleas Court Of Fairfield county.
Conn. The suit was brought by
James A. Coughlin against the ma
ttonal council OF the Knights Of CO.
lumbus. The case came up before
Judge Curtis on demurrer, the issue
being raised as to whether the
Bridgeport Council acted legally b.
advancing assessments to members to
save them from becoming In arrears.
as provided by the general laws Of
the order when payments are not
made at the end Of the month In
which the assessment is laid. Pat
rick coughlin, at one time Mayor Of
bridgeport. was a member Of the
knights Of Columbus. He was also
a Mason. When the National. Council
OF the Knights Of Columbus first RS
fused to pay the funeral beneat the
reason was given that Mr.. Coughlin
had lost his membership because OF
his adherence to Masonry. This de-
fense has not as yet been pressed.
probably because that such a move
would engender in fraternal and re-
ltgious bodies. But the National
Council of the Knights Of Columbus
is endeavoring to keep from paying
the funeral benefit on the ground that
as Mr.. 'Coughlin. was in arrears, his
heirs are not entitled to the beueflt.
The defence is that Coughlin was not
In arrears. for the reason Of the unre-
corded bylaw, which was used by the
local council to keep up the member :

sessment and then collecting 1t afte

Mach public indignation is being
expressed over the indiscriminate
slaughter of the Moros, in the Philip
pines by General Woods soldiers. says
the Irish sh-American. Except as against
the general principle Of war and all
the fighting in the Philippines. this is
wasted. The Moros are MahomeNau u
fanatics who know nothing Of humane
ways Of warfare. With them it is a.
ways a fight to the death. and they
neither give nor take quarter. Their
ideas Of fighting may be realized frcns
the fact that many Of the Molos

any controversy with Judge Ryan. or
any one else. we submit that It is an
unfair statement to say that Parlia-
mentary agitation has been a failure.
And. without any desire to enter into
a debate as to the comparative meth
DDS Of peaceful agitation as advocated
by O'Connell and his successors, and
the methods Of physical force. OF which
there have been advocates through all
the dreary years Of the struggle, we
submit that the accomplishments Of
O'Connelr and his successors In Par.
lament speak for themselves when
compared with the miserable failures
that have from time to time over
taken patriotic but ill-advised attempts
at physical force. There Is no need
Of giving instances Of failures. The
attempts have furnished heroes and
martyrs, but no substantial good to
the Irish nation.
The point to which we wish to call
attention in connection with Judge
Ryan's recent visit to this city IL that
there is no difference among 1rishmen
as to the results desired and that it
will serve no good purpose to empha-
size tho difference that does apparently
exist rs to the methods to be pursued.
That Judge Ryan and many thousands
others are disappointed and impatient
at the delays necessarily attendant
upon q peaceful revolution is no rea-
son for asserting that they are less
patriotic than the supporters Of O'Cor-
nell's plan. Because the majority of
Irishmen in Ireland and of their fcl-
low-countrymen all over the world
believe that the methods of Parnell
and Redmond are more practical and
efficient though less brilliant than the
methods attempted by Emmet and oth-
ers, is no reason for saying that those
Irishmen are less brave or moro un-
willing to fight for liberty than those
who support the methods advOcased
by Emmet and others. Ths essential
thing now is that there should be 4
unity of purpose. even IL agreement
on means cannot be had Tne task
at hand Is large enough nnl intri-
cate enough to furnish work for all and
when it is finally performed there will
be glory enough for oil.
The visit Of Judge Ryan to Alinne-
apolis served a most excellent pur-
pose. It uufficed to shtw cur people
that the difference existing between
Judge Ryan and those who believe with
him. and those who actively support
the Parliamentary party is. after all.
inconsequential. Between honest ana
earnest men differences are likely to
exist. 1t is only negative. timc-scrv-
ing men with no strong, fixed opinions
who are able to agree upon every de-
tail. The thing to be remembered is
that Judge Ryan, in his way an;.
sphere. is fighting for the same re-
suits for the accomplishment Of which
John Redmond and more than eighty
of his colleagues are giving Their en-
tire time and attention.

Although the Republicans have an
almost two-thirds majority in tho
United States Senate the Democrats
are weaker in that body than they
have ever been since the days Of re-
construction. Yet the Democrats seem
to be controlling legislation. Twenty
five Democrats and twelve Republicans
defeated President Roosevelt's State

Democrats will also control the final

SHALL TIE SOUTH LEADq

The address Of Judge Parker, recent
ly delivered at Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, in which he called upon the South
to take the lead In Democratic politics,
has crcated q great deal Of comment.
It will be remembered that prior to
the last Democratic convention there
were many who advocated the nomi-
nation Of O southerner. Tho name Of
Senator Cockrell, Of Missouri. was
placed in nomination. While he did
not hail from state which seeded,
he was, nevertheless, an oficer in the
Confederate army and represented the
lost cause in a greater degree than do
some Of the men who were born too
late to take an active part in the Civil
War. The appeal of q Democratic lead
er from tho North to the Democrats Of
the South to assume their former posi-
tion Of leadership Of the Democratic
party Is interesting. Never since the
Civil War have Democratic leaders
seriously considered the nomination Of
O Southerner for the presidency. The
bitterness engendered by that strug-
gle was suflicient to prevent Northern
ers from accepting a Southerner, no
matter what his ability or his loyalty.
The South alone has never been able
since the war to elect president. The
South needed New York and Indiana
in the years Immediately succeeding
tho war to win the presidency. The
growth Of the country has changed the
situation SO that the odds are still
greater now against the South. The
South needs not only New Yo5:z and
Indiana, but other states. There is not
at this time. the same prejudice exist
ing against Southerners that existed
thirty years ago: yet, even now, the
nomination of q Southerner would lose
many votes in the North to the party.
Judge Parker's suggestion is inter-
esting for two reasons: First, It shows
that Democrats Of the North are ready
to accept q southerner. providing he
is Of the right caliber. and. secondly,
the remarks Of the last Democratic
candidate recall the fact that for sixty
years following the organization Of the
Democratic party the Southern mem-
bers absolutely controlled its councils
and formulated its policies. Before
the war tho South was the politically
dominant section Of the country. For
more than half Of the period of sixty
years preceding the war q Southern
Democrat sat in the presidential chair
and for twelve more years under Van
Buren,, Pierce and Buchanan. South
ern influence was predominant. Even
when the Democrats were out of power
dusing that period the opposition cam
didates were taken from the South.
Tyler was a Southerner and so was
Taylor.
The South Of the period preceding the
war was very different from the South
Of the year succeeding the war. The
old South was radical. progressive. it
took a bold and strong position upon
all public questions. It had the most
masterful leaders that the country pro-
duced; such men as Calhoun. Benton.
