Datto Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan is now datto. If a play upon
a word had any value it might be said that
he has been for several years a ditto. That
Is, the people of the United States turned
him down in 1896. and repeated the perform
ance in 1900 Can he accept this Filipino title
without permission of Congress? What says
Mr.. Burgess of Texas? The Philippines are
American territory. although the Filipinos
are not American citizens. The Moro or
ganization which gives the title its value, is
an inheritance from the Spanish regime, and
that was monarchicaL Let us hope, how
ever, that no strict. or eccentric, construc-
zionist will press the point, If there is a
point, to Mr.. Bryan's embarrassment. Those
bolos, spears, and brasses will look well as
house decorations and the bolos and spears
might be put to practical uses in the cattle
yard and pig pen of Mr.. Bryan's Nebraska
estate.

Dewey at Manila.

The Philippine debate in the House revives
that old sigh, "If Dewey had only sailed
away after destroying the Spanish fieetf'
Such performance ought to be unthink-
able. With the Spanish fleet at the bottom
of the bay, Manila, without the protection
of the American guns, might have been con-
verted into a shamble. The Spanish force
ashore was greatly demoralized, and the in
surgents greatly heartened, as the result of
the fight Aguinaldo-then at the height
of his popularity and activity-had returned
from Hongkong and was rallying his fol-
lowers. The city was in a panic and this
feeling would soon have spread to other
places. a staggering blow had been dealt
the Spanish power, and the Filipinos, every
where disgruntled, would have pressed their
advantages. These things considered, would

Dewey, or to the credit of his country, had

That might happen so it did not happen to

The admiral wisely bravely, heroically

Il is question, indeed if Dewey did not
show greater qualities as diplomat and

The Chadwick Case.

MIS-. Chadwick has just begun her ten
year sentence in the Ohio penitentiary.
The world moves SO swiftly, and sensa-
tons in financial circles have muItiplied 50

She is the woman who played upon the

as alert and longheaded in money affairs
and amassed a fortune from nothing. and
with nothing but a smooth address and A

her. and their cash, together with other
cash held by them in a fiduciary capacity,

became rich in no time
When exposure came she retained emil
nent counsel, and the case was fought with
every weapon of defence known to the law
Fora time it seemed not unlikely that she
would escape. Something OF an actress as
well as a swindler. she appealed to public
sympathy by repeated physical collapses,
though never losing her mental nerve or
resources. She had an explanation ready
for every new development that was dam
aging to her.
At last, however. her guilt was estab-
lished together with the fact that she was
crook of long standing with a peniten-
tiary record; and the prison gates have now
for the second time closed behind her.
Her operations were unusual, but the
swag secured was not large as compared
with the pickings of some men who have
been exposed in the financial world since
her day, and whose methods, judged by
the standards of square dealing, were quite
as reprehensible as hers. They, as she did.

The Whipping Post.
From the Hartford Times.


Representative Adams of PENNSYLVANIA
has finally introduced into Congress his
promised bill to establish the whipping
post Tor wife-beaters. It's a revival of
the measure which at the last session
walked through a slaughterhouse to an
open grave. The trouble with the lash as
a punishment for the brutes who lick their
wives is that 1t Is sure to fail to accom-
plish the object aimed at. The avera ge
wife will take q beating in silence before
she Will lodge with the authorities a COM
plant that will send her husband to the
whipping post. She's built that way, A
great many wffe-beaters that now suffer
some penalty. even though inadequate.
would get off scot free II fogging were
the prescribed punishment. Various other
objections to the use of the brutalizing
lash are serious. but this particular one,
which is the product Of experience and
not of fancy, is alone conclusive. It's wise
to exhaust more logical and more scientific
and more effective methods dealing with the
wife-icking scoundrels before resorting to
fogging.

The Bankers Lament.

Existence isn't quite the same.
The dawn seems chill and gray.
And all the hours are slow and tame
Since Cassie went away.
The penitentiary may see
Financial scenes right gay,
But oh, it's lonely here for me,
Since Cassie went away.
A swift, exciting pace she set
In any game she'd play.
Now mid monotony we fret
Since Cassie went away.
We pay, collect and pay again,
Secure from day to day;
And life Is but a dull refrain
Since Cassie went away.

There Is no more reason why members

Is that preachers should claim a rebate
