STUPIDITY OR DEATH, WHICH
' The lame indifference everywhere

before the slave holder and slave driver,
but there was all the time a remnant
which refused to bow the knee. Feeling
was intense, something vehement. The
indignation meeting were hot with
thrilling excitement. Street talk had a
certain sound and breathed the spirit of
daring. Blood was hinted at, but was
welcomed and defied. John Brown was
hero and a martyr with the masses,
Courts were dehed and men went to
prison.
Now t worse danger confronts us and
all is quiet. No mass meetings of indie

place. Jbvery county ought to be seen
in line with nags and banners and tens

The fact of your ablo handling of the

me to your list of contributors. This

That the facts of current events should
be presented in a newspaper goes with
out saying, but that the expression of
opinion should be suppressed is a pro
position this editor cannot endorse. He
supposed that after culling the news
that was the main reason that h was
put in charge of this paper.
For the English people the editor of
the Independent has the most profound
regard and the kindliest feelings. He is
proud to number among his dearest
friends some who live on the tight little
island. But for the English govern
ment, being as it is, in the hands of he
reditary dukes and lords and a lot cf
sycophats who want to be lords, he hi s
no sympathy at all. The liberty of all
the world has come mainly from the
English people but these same people
have bad to fight for hundreds of years
against the dukes and lords. Every
privilege that that people now enjoy
they have wrested with - bloody hands
from their kings and aristocracy. These
same untitled British people are as
much opposed to the Boer war as is the
Independent . All the great minds of
England, men of the people who have be
come famous the world over by the
brilliancy of their intellect mostly men
who have no taint of royal blood in them
have put themselves on record against
it. The Independent is bound to op
pose it for it is waged upon the same
principles that the unholy w ar against
the Filipinos is waged.
About the Lanterns

(Jet a gond lantern to begin with.
Many a cheap lantern is worthless and
even dangerous after using a few weeks.
Have a place to hang it up while it is
not in use, so no time will be lost in look

in clear water and polish with a dry

Mfs. Wu's Receptions
Washington, D. C, Dec. 28. (Special
Correspondence.) Owing to' the illness
o Madam Wu, the Chinese legation us
ually so gay, has remained closed to
society until this week. Now that the
little lady's health has mended, she has
resumed her informal Friday receptions,
to the especial delight of visiting Strang
ers whose curiosity concerning the home
which was transplanted almost intact
from the flowery kingdom, is never sat
iated. Mr. and Mrs. Wu are the most hospi
tal of Orientals. Their legation is in
the heart of the fashionable part of
town, and besides being one of the larg
est and handsomest homes in Washing
ton, is gorgeously furnished in the Chi
nese fashion, making it a shining mark
for sight-f tot. Mr. and Mrs. Wu dress
ed as alw ,ys, in thoir native costume,
receive each guest invited or uninvited
in the most cordial manner, though
frequently the crowd is far too great for
two pairs of hands to "shake" with all
those extended.
The minister speaks and understands
English perfectly, bnt his little wife is
not so proficient; and therefore a num
ber of American ladies usually assist her
in receiving and pouring 'out the tea
which is a prominent feature of the
Chinese receptions. And what tons of
tea inui t be consumed in that legation!
It makes one blush for American man
ners to record that last Friday's recep
tion was literally jammed with strangers
who made no effort to conceal the fact
that they had come for the merest curi
osity, who fingered the furniture and
hangings and brie a brae as they would
not be permitted to do in any public
museum, aud treated the members of
I the legation exactly as if they had been
'i1 iubitomuu.
Some of the boldest and rudest even
commented nudihlv tinnn thAl rtmaa

The minister's wife is learning Eng
ash and speaka what she knows in the
delightful pigeon fashion. One of her
favorite remarks is, "I likee Amelika be
cause of its freedom for China ladv.
She must feel, sometimes, that the
boasted "fleedom" of American women
should be checked with a little Oriental
seclusion, if not occasional salutary
treatment with "omething lingering,
like boiling oil. anny brigbam. ,
Million's of Bonds
Washington, D. C, Dec. 26, (Special
Correspondence.) They say at the treas
ury department that upwards of 100,000
strangers have been shown about the
treasury building this year.
The place which excites most wonder
and comment is the bond vault, on the
first floor, near the treasurer's office.
In it are stored 1407,000,000 in bonds,
607,000,000 of which, however, are un
registered. These bonds beiortg to the
national banks of the couniry. They
are aepositea witn tne treasury, to se
cure the circulation of the national bank
notes. Every visitor is shown a little
package of bonds, and if he looks per
fectly honest, is sometimes allowed to
hold it for a minute five million or bo
them.
The vault, containing upwards of
1400,000,000 worth of paper is quite
-mall, for so large a building as the U.S.
t easury and so rich as Uncle Samuel.
Hut then it was built nearly forty years
ago, and at that time answered all re
quirements. Now every available quar
ter inch of space is occupied and more is
badly needed.
It is claimed that the vault is abso
lutely burglar and tire proof. There is
such a network of electric wires con
nected with the door leading into it that
any attempt to drill a hole in it would
set off alarms, not only all over the
treasury building but at police head
quarters, the wires being connected
with the admirable burglar alarm sys
tem of the district.
The bonds of the national banks are
kept in file boxes placed in rows on
wooden shelves and properly numbered.
The vault is illuminated by electric
lights, the wires beine specially protect
ed, so there is little danger from that
cause.
Looking at this vault the other day.
with some friends from the country, I
was struck with what seamed to me the
inadequate protection of such a vast
amount of money in paper form. The

plied, "You are right, madame. it is the

A PERFECT INCUBATOR
Hood Results In Hatching lis I With the
Ertol Improved Victor.
How to hatch th g eatest percentage
of eggs with least loss and trouble is
one of the important problems in the
mind of everyone who embarks in poul
try raising. For many thousands this
problem fans been solved by the Erlel
Improved Viotor Incubator, which with
the least amount of attention hatches
the greatest number of fertile eggs.
With the Victor Incubator and Im-
f roved Victor Brooder the man or wo
man who hatches eggs for profit has a
large part of the battle fought and won.
The patented heating arrangement on
the Victor Incubator is a marvel of efil
cieney and simplicity as well, and all
poultry folks who have struggled with
any of the complicated and unreliable
machines that are advertised will fully
appreciate tnese merits.
There is a lot of interesting and valu

AN OLD SOLDIER'S TRIBUTE.
A GrUalrtl Veteran Who Never For.
Seta the Anniversary of Gea.
McPheraoQ'e Death.
A faded rose lay between the forefeet
of the horse of bronze on which Bits the
heroic figure of Gen, Merherson in the
square which bears his name. It was
found there one Sunday morning, shriv
eled and dead, with nothing to show
whose hand hud placed it at the foot of
the man who fell before Atlanta in de
fense of the union, a mute evidence of
remembrance.
On Saturday night a young man was
passing through the park. In a mo
ment of abstraction he turned aside
from the path and read the inscription
on the granite base of the statue. He
was. turning away to continue his walk
across the park when a voice called to
him. Turning, the young man saw
rested on a bench, directly in front'of
the statue, a bent figure, with a slouch
hat and an old army blouse. Gray
haired and bearded, clad in army blue,
a crutch beside him, the old man was a
"NO; DON'T CALL MB CAPPEN, BOY."
typical veteran of the time "which tried
men's souls."
"Come over here, boy, and sit dowu,"
said he, in a voice wheezy with asthma.
"I would like to talk to you."
The young man hesitated and then
walked over and sat down beside the
old soldier. "What is it, captain?" he
said.
"No; don't call me cappen, boy, 'cause
I ain't nothing but a private soldier,
and never was. I saw you a-lookingat
that ni&nyment there, and I wondered
L' you knowed much about the ginral.
1 Did you know him? Course you didn't,
though, 'cause you're too -ouug. I
knowed him, boy God bless him and
that's the reason you see me here to
night. I wouldn't miss being here to
night for all my pension, and I've been
a-coming on the 22d of July for the past
six year, boy every year."
Tie old fellow stopped rpeaking and
gazed at the towering figure on the
horse above his head. Suddenly he laid
his withered hand on the sleeve of the
younger man and said:
"Here, boy; don't mind mea-calling
you a boy, but you are a boy to me; take
this and put it up there on the mony
ment. I brought it for the gin'ral," and
he handed the stranger a red rose.
Wonderingly, the young man took
the rose, and, stepping over to the ped
estal, tossed it lightly up between the
feet of the war horse. Turning again,
by sudden impulse, he seated himself
once more beside the veteran and said,
gently: "Tell me about your general,
won't you, please?"
"There ain't much to tell, boy. Every
body knows he was the finest officer we
had when we started through Ceorgy
with Sherman. I loved him like all the
boys did, and I love his mem'ry yet I
saw' him a-riding along cheering the
boys up that day at Atlanta, and there
never was a finer-looking soldier on a
horse. It want more'n a hour after that
till I saw him lying on the ground
wounded to death. It was a bad day
for his boys, and we all felt like it was
a brother or some near kin when we
heard he was dead. There want no
Jokes around the fire that night.
"Well, it's been a long time ago now,t
but the old man ain't forgot it. Seven
year ago I got into the soldiers' home
out here, and Itve been there ever since.
I don't trouble them out there much,
and I only ask for leave once a year.
That's on the 22d of July, and 1 just
come over here where they have put up
the monymcnt and sit down where J
can see the gin'ral and think about the
last time I saw him cheering tip the
boys at Atlanta. I won't b here next
year, 'cause I'm about ready for 'taps.'
I wonder who will remember the gin'ral
then?
"Somehow a lady that lives close by
the home found out where I went every
year, and to-day when I passed by her
house she came out to the fence and
told me to come in and get some flowers
from her garden. They was mighty
pretty, and I thought I'd take a big
bunch at first, but then I told her I was
beholden to her and would take one of
them pretty, red roses over in the cor
ner. That's the rose you jest put up
there. I wish I thought somebody
would put one there next yrar," and
there were tears in the old man's voice.
"Now, that's all," he continued. "1
must be goin?. Good-by, boy. You
will never -c the old man ngnfn, but
I'm thankful to you for putting the
rose up there." Washington Star.

tires of the Chicago platform domo,-r y
declared agaiust bimetallism and cam
out last week for paper money. Those

dinner crowd.
These men met lat week at the resi
dence of Eugene Brewster, No. 306 Mon

them that from information obtained by
him from Chicago platform democrats in
dinerent parts of the country there waa

stitution of greenbacks for bimetallism,
which he said was not the true solution
of the money question. 1
