A POLITICAL VIRTUE.

Gratitude and loyalty are the vir-
tues Of the politician. No office
holder is expected to make his obi
cations TO his friends superior to his
obligation to the public; but in the
Organization of party, the man, who
claims to be regular, must be judged
by the clearness and quality of his
loyalty, and If he forgets past favors
in the glow of new expectations, he
is a time server and an hireling, and
his days are numbered. The one, for
whom he deserts his political benefac-
TORS, will have no confidence in his
fidelity.
Loyalty is a beautiful thing and
has no relation to servility or coer-
cion. 1t is this sense of loyalty that
is rallying federal oficeholders to the
supporter the administration in Che
t-ght for delegates to the. national
Republican convention. What else
can be expected? When a man has
been signally recognized and honored
with an office of trust by the national
administration, and that administra-
ZION pursues a course in which the
whole country takes pride, is il I'M
usual that the administrations ap-
polntees should refuse to heed the ad-
vances OF outside interests until theS

NIGHT RIDING IN THE PHILIP
PINES

FINES.
Just nine years ago Dewey won the
battle of Manila bay. Then ensued
for a year the bloody conflict with
native insurrectos. ed in the Philip
pines by Aguinaldo, hailed as a pa
triot by some Democrats in congress.
and led in Boston 10y Edward Atkin-
son. Interminable disorder by free
dom loving savages was predicted,
and there was much talk about the
constitutional rights of citizenship
following the flag. That was nine
years ago-D'ye mind?
The lads who fought in the war have
grown to manhood, and there is peace
in the Archipelago. So much does a
piece of one little decade accomplish
in the worlds history.
Yesterday William Taft, secretary
of war, filed his report showing con-
ditions bordering on prosperity in the
Islands. Nine years ago parties were
riding around at night surprising
towns, where soldiers had not been
posted, burning buildings and wound
ing and killing people, who did not
look at things the way they did.
Such doings were ended among an
alien people, speaking. a foreign
tongue, a thousand miles from our
shores. It's mighty encouraging to
think how such lawlessness can be
kept down effectually under such ad-
verse conditions and how much :
country prospers when it is put down.

General Demand

Of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its en-
cellent combination OF Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
OF the merits of the laxative for its remark

Washington. Jan. 10 - The Brown
son affair vas the chief topic of dis
cuSsiOn in the senate yesterday. 1t
was brought up when Senator Hale eX-
planned the navy personnel bill which
was introduced by him. The presen-
tation of the bill led Senator Tillman
to ask whether members of the com
mittoe would have an opportunity to
get facts in relation to the controversy
over the Brownson affair. Mr.. Tillman
intimated that he wished to call before
the committee witnesses to testify
concerning this matter. Mr.. Hale re-
piled that he thought there would be
no obstacle 10 allowing the senator TO
do that.
Amid scenes of confusion the mem
bers of the house of representatives
participated in a lottery for rooms in
the new house Office building opposite
the capitol. Outside of passing two
bridge bills the assignment of quarters
was the only business transacted.

ROADS AFRAID OF EACH OTHER.
Reason for Free Winter Storage at
AXE Ports.

Dulnth. Jan. i. - According to tes-
timony brought out yesterday after
noon at the h~"ing before Commits
Sioner J. n. Marble of the interstate
commerce commission, all the rail
roads interested would be glad to do
away with the giving of free storage
facilities at the Head of the Lakes for
goods in transit. provided they could
be offered positive assurance that
every line. both here and at other
points on the lakes, would live up to
the agreement. 1t was to be inferred
that the railroads would have made
some such agreement before this only
each was afraid hat the other might
not act in accordance with it's terms,
and would therefore have an advan-
tage over the other roads, in that the
free storage would draw business from
competitors who did not offer such
free storage.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The recent is
sue of bonds by the secretary of the
treasury for the purpose of relieving
the financial stringency was the sub
ject of an animated debate in the SEN
ate yesterday. The discussion vas
precipitated by al inquiry by Senator
Culberson, and was participated in
by Senators Aldrich, Tillman and
Bailey. 1t resulted in an agreement
to postpone further controversy until
a statement can be received from Sec
rotary COrtelyou.
The senate passed Senator Tillman's
resolution calling on the interstate
commerce commission for informa-
ton concerning purchases by railroad
companies of stocks of competing
roads.
Vigorous defense of states rights
in dealing with violations of civil
rights or with special state elections
where troops have been called into

The letter threatens the life OF the

letter is written in Polish and evil
IDENTIFY by an illiterate person.
Father Majer announced to his con
gregation on Sunday hal he had re-
ceived an unsigned letter, in which 1t
was stated that "the Black Hand
would finish him" unless he stopped
collecting the customary church dues.
The announcement created a Juror
among the p~arishioners, who hold Fa-
Their Majer in the highest esteem.
Feeling was running high yesterday
that any one should dare to make
threats against their priest, who has
been in charge of the parish for TWEEN
ty-five years.
There is nothing either on the en-
velope Or on the paper to indicate the
identity of the sender. Some believe
that the writer is a member of a band
leagued against the church. Others,
however, hold TO the opinion that the
writer is simply some n who is an
tagonistic to the church and wishes to
make it uncomfortable for Father Ma,
