Ah, Brother Wan a mak er, do not put your faith in princes or Republicans! That Is precisely what the Republican party will do go on hutting Its eyes to the exactions of protected trusts until a long suffering and greatly outraged public casts It In to that outer darkness where there are wailing, weeping and gnash'ng of teeth. The plate glass trust Is not one wLit worse than 50 other trusts which are fattening upon the public. The worm will turn at last, so we are told, and so will the trust ridden American people if they have left even a particle f the spirit of 177a And the Philippine War la Over. Considering the fact that an anxious world has been Informed repeatedly that the war in the Philippines and the war in South Africa were both ended, strange things are happening. General MacArthur is calling for more iroops, me nouse flas jusi TOiea 10 proceeding to England to receive a tri umph and a dukedom, with a $500,000 but while be is yet upon the high seas a bullheaded fighter named General De Wet gives the English an awful ' whallnjr. capturing COO of the flower of ; their army, conclusive proof, I suppose, j that the cruel war Is over. In the 1 meantime Lord Kitchener is doing his j bet to go down In history with Nero, j Caligula and Alva. He is committing atrocities at which the world grows pale, but both wars are over! Mast Suppress Harrison. Most assuredly our Republican In cense swingers will have to take strin gent measures to suppress one Benja min Harrison, at one time a brigadier general in the Union army, later a sen ator of tbe United States and more re cently Republican president of the United States. The way he is cavort ing around must cause the cold chills to chase each other up and down the spinal column of each and every mem-; ber of the present administration from : president to cuspidor cleaner. He is a ; regular bull in the Republican china j j shop and is likely to smash the crock- i ! ery. Like Collins ram, he Is a man of ' his own head. That Ann Arbor speech of his was truly awful! It is terrible to think of him, whom they dare not denominate a Traitor with a big, big T, j declaring against that sacred institu- : tion. the Porto Rican tariff, and Insinu ating that tbe administration's policy In the Philippines Is wrong! What are we coming to, anyway, when men are permitted to gabble In this sacrilegious manner? We must enact a law punish ing men for leze majesty. Nothing else will do. ? j father of the House. One thing the eastern people under stand to perfection, and that is the good that comes to them of keeping j tried and trained men in congress. The representative oldest not In years, but Jn point of service. Is called "the father of the house." In his remarks on the life and character of the late General Harmer of Philadelphia Amos J. Cum mlngs said: "In bis congressional career he sat under the rulings of nine speakers and saw eight presidents inaugurated. It was probably the proudest moment of i bis life when, as father of the house, he administered the oath to the pres- ! ent occupant of the chair. It was his last public duty, performed while lauding on the briuk of the grave. It was a striking exhibition of Phila delphia's appreciation of the services of ber congressional delegation. Three times In succession had she supplied congress with a father of the house. Talented William D. Kelley had been succeeded by cheery and lovable Charles O'Neill, who in his turn had given place to his estimable colleague, Alfred C. Harmer, and now Harmer In his turn has departed, leaving the mantle with another colleague, who has served -2 years without a break." General Charles Henry Grosvenor of 1 Ohio, himself a veteran congressman, In commenting on that statement of Cummlngs, said: "In this connection I wish to deflect a moment from discussing the charac ter of the deceased to speak of the wonderful effect that the policy of the people of Philadelphia has had upon their own Interests and upon the inter ests of the country. The policy of sending men to congress for long suc cessive terms of service has been ad hered to with greater tenacity In the city and county of Philadelphia than In any other locality In the United States. "I do not suppose that it will be claimed that all of the men who have represented Philadelphia here during the period covering the service of many of us were originally men of the great est ability, although some of them were men of distinguished character , when they came here, and all of them have become men of distinguished abil ity and character while here, so that it has come to be a fact that there Is no city In the United States that has Im pressed Its own views and Interests one-half so much upon tbe legislation of congress as has the city of Phlladel- phla. I do not know what Is the occult method by which the people there ag 1 rertaln In the first place the possible capacity of the men they select. But within my knowledge none of these ; men has failed, and It Is a remarkable history, given by the gentleman from t New York, that in these successive ; representatives Philadelphia has had j the honor to have upon the floor of this bouse that personage distinguished by the. friendly but Important and conspic uous name of 'father of the house. " General Grosvenor's remarks cannot be attributed to a desire to stay in con- gress himself, as It Is understood that he will voluntarily Tetlre before many ; years. " ., General Harry Bingham, also of Phil- ! adelphla, is now "the father of the bouse." Enter Sir, McDermott. I hereby chronicle the appearance In congress of a strong young Democrat, Mr. McDermott of New Jersey, suc cessor to Judge Daly, lately gone to Join the great majority. McDermott had not been In the house a week till he won his spurs in debate on the army bill, was instantly recognized as a strong man and was most heartily ap plauded and welcomed by his Demo cratic colleagues. He is a large, hand some man, evidently knows what he wants to say and how to say it, as wit ness the following clear, terse and for cible passage from his five minutes speech: " "But this proposition of reorganizing the army of the United States finds its base and support when presented to the people of this country upon the ground that we must of necessity pro tect our possessions In Asia. Having grown from being the United States of America to be the United States of America and Asia, popular glamour, created by words of war, by reference to armed troops and generals and cap tains and lieutenants and the rank and file, that glamour may for the moment deceive the public so that a temporary applause will be given to the passage of this bill. But, Mr. Chairman, this bill does not mean the mere suppres sion of riots in the Philippines. It means the undemocratic and un-American creation of a standing army for all time. If your excuse is the existing condition in the Philippine 1 Islands, then limit your bill to an army of 100, 000 men for two years. If you cannot suppress the Insurrection in the Philip pine Islands within those two years, then it will be proper policy for the United States of America to do what Spain did after she had held those is lands for three centuries to find some other nation that wants to buy a gold brick in Asia and sell those islands to her. Laughter. "That excuse, Mr. Chairman, is the only one that has been given to the people for the creation of an army that is 25,000 greater in number than the troops called for by President Lincoln In 1861. There is no necessity for such an army. If there Is a temporary ne cessity, let there be a limitation. If in two years 100,000 men cannot quell a riot in islands populated by 9,000.000 of Malay Indians and Chinese popu lated by 9,000,000 of people, only 5,000 of whom are of Castilian blood and pure whites If you cannot make Amer ican citizens of those people in two years, you cannot do it at all." There Is a great deal comprised in those two paragraphs. It is the earnest of greater things to come. I predict for Brother McDermott a splendid ca reer in the house. New Jersey is natu rally Democratic, and such Inen as Mc Dermott will do much to swing her back into the Democratic column, a consummation devoutly to be wished. Sublime Gall. The gall of the Philadelphia Press is colossal and sublime. It undertakes to lecture the south in general and the At lanta Constitution in particular about the suppression of the negro vote. In any Philadelphia paper such a per formance is enough to make a person doubt the evidence of his own senses, for it is a notorious fact established by a cloud of witnesses that nowhere in America are elections so corrupt as in Philadelphia. Experience is a hard school, but one picks up much information therein. Hon. Henry C. Smith of Michigan knows a good deal more than he did. Of course he is a Republican. Person ally Henry C. is all right. During the debate on the bill to reduce the war taxes Henry C. offered the following amendment: Strike out in line 17, page 15, all after the word "freight" to and including line IS on page 16 and insert in lieu thereof the following: Express and Freight. It shall be the duty of every railroad or steamboat company, carrier, ex press company or corporation or person whose oc cupation is to act as such to make within the first 15 days of each month a sworn statement to the collector of internal revenue in each of their respective districts stating the number of ship ments received for carriage and transportation, whether in bulk or in boxes, bales, packages, bundles or not so inclosed or included for whicb. any charge whatsoever has been made, and for each of such shipments received for carriage and transportation the said railroad or steamboat com pany, carrier, express company or corporation or person whose occupation it is to act as such shall pay a tax of 1 cent; provided that but one pay ment of said tax shall be required on bundles or j packages of newspapers when inclosed in one gen eral ounaie at ine time of shipment. On a viva voce vote in committee of the whole Mr. Smith's amendment car ried by a narrow margin, nearly all the Democrats and Populists voting for It, re-enforced by a small contingent of Republicans, but when Hon. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the great commit tee on ways and means and ex officio ! floor leader of the majority, called for a separate vote on Brer Smith's amend ment and a roll call was had upon it enough Republicans were whipped j back into line to defeat it. Mr. Payne ! smiles a good deal, but it is becoming more and more apparent that he swings : the party cat o' nine tails with great effect. Congress has gone home for Christ mas i. e., that portion of congress i which lives close enough to Washing ton. The house cut out a great deal of i work for the senate before the holi days. Everybody, even the grave and reverend statesman, enjoys Christmas. Not In Him. Fhotographer Now, then, be perfect ly natural. Look pleasant! Krusty Say, are you poking fun at me?, I can't do both. Philadelphl Press. " a Will Not Contest A meeting was held last Saturday in St. Paul of the democratic state cen tral committee, at which it was re solved not to make a contest. Ever since the November election developed such a close race for tho office between Governor Lind and his republican opponent, S. R. Van Sant, there has been a pronounced sentiment among democrats throughout the state that a recount should be demanded. Incidentally there was some discus sion of tho recently published views of former President Grover Cleveland in regard to the causes leading to dem ocracy's defeat in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900. Chairman L. A. Rosing stated that he was disposed to take ssue with the ex-president on the point. Said he: "In my opinion the silver issue and democracy's alliance with the pbpv.l- sts had little if anything to do with our defeat. The people simply com pared present conditions with those which existed during the latter part of President Cleveland's term and drew their own conclusions." To Cure Cold In one Day.

Must Have Soldiers The McKinley administration has one story to tell to the people and an other to the committees of the house and senate. At the last meeting of the senate committee on military affairs, Secretary Root made a strong presen tation of the necessity for immediate egislation for the relief of the army. He stated broadly that if congress did not at once increase the army In sub stantial accordance with the recom mendations of the war department the United States would be obliged b abandon a large portion of the Phil- ppino islands. Every officer in the Philippines has said time and again that it will take 100,000 soldiers to hold the islands That is what Lawton said and what they all say. The talk McKinley gives out about "pacification" he knows to be false. It is so transparent and has been repeated so often that it no long er deceives any one. He probable is so in the habit of lying that he can't help )t. It has become a permanent habit with him.

The Legacy. - There lived in Paris a rich old notary. One day when an officious friend asked him if he had made his will the old no tary replied, with a singular smile, that he would have time enough to nake it after his death. The friend recounted this conversation to the notary's son. who did not seem to be at all surprised at it. "I am aware of it," said he. "It is a point on which one cannot argue with him. My dear father believes that he has a secret by which he can bring him self again to life. It is an illusion which as always astonished me in a man of such rare intelligence." This answer very much astounded his friend, and, curious to know what this secret could be, he asked the notary's son If he knew what It was. "Perfectly well," replied he. "It is a thing within the reach of the poorest purse. This marvelous recipe is sold at the corner of every street in Paris and usually costs from 75 centimes to a franc. My father learned it from a stranger, to whom he had rendered an important service an Italian count, a descendant, perhaps of Cagliostro, and whom, it seems to me, I can still see, with his tall figure, his gray hair, his noble bearing, his black eyes, which shone with a sur prising fire, and his decorations. His only payment was tbe revealing of this mys tery, and my father felt quite contented with this quittance." The friend insisted no longer, and the notary continued to live like a man who felt himself stronger than the tomb. Some time after this the old man ex perienced one of those inexplicable sen sations which, to certain powerful or ganisations, are a presage of death. He called his servant, an old Breton, who had waited on him 40 years. "Jean, said he. laying his hand on the shoulder of his ancient servitor, "re member well what I am going to say to thee and swear to me to do what I am going to ask of thee." "I swear it!" said the Breton. "If I should die suddenly, make me take an ice as soon as it shall be evident that I am dead." The Breton, accustomed to passive obedience, promised to do so without making any observation. From that day every evening during a whole month the notary repeated his commands to the old servant. One morning the notary was stricken with apoplexy. The physician declared that every remedy was useless. The rat tling in the old man's throat was perfect ly frightful. His bloody eyes stared up on the Breton with terrific fixity. For a moment he raised himself on his elblow, reached his hand toward the servant, and said to him in a voice which seemed like the last cry of the death agony: "Remember!" And he fell back on the pillow a lifeless mass. It was known that the notary had many arrangements to make; he had fre quently stated his intention of leaving legacies to a grandson whose mother was dead and to several of the servants. A profound silence reigned in the chamber of death that terrible silence which is interrupted only by sobs. Jean, kneeling in a coi-ner, was praying with that fervent ardor which the Breton peasants drink in with their mother's milk. When he had done praying, he arose. "Monsieur," said he to the son, "this is the moment." The son looked at the servant as one who does not comprehend. "Yes, monsieur," continued Jean; "it is perhaps a sacrilege, but I have swora I must obey." The son suddenly remembered the be lief which the old notary had entertained since the visit of the Italian count. "Thou art a brave and worthy serv itor," said he to Jean. "But dost you be lieve that what my father has demanded of thee can possibly be any use?" "I believe in God," replied the Breton. If my action is criminal, I have prayed that the fault may rest with me only. I will do what I promised." "Go, then," said the son. Jean went out and soon returned. bringing an ice upon a tray. He ap proached the notary's bed and slipped a spoonful of ice between his teeth. Jean himself was as pale as the corpse of his master. He continued his work, which borrowed, from the end which he pro posed to himself, a character of mystery, solemnity and expectation. Suddenly a shudder passed through the frame of the notary. He opened his eyes and sat up. My father" cried the son, springing toward the bed with open arms. My son, I am dead, said the notary, raising his cold and livid hand. "Trou ble not this hour. Bring a notary. Go; my second life will last but one hour." The voice of the dead man had an ac cent so clear and so firm, his glance was so full of fire, his gesture so authorita tive, that the son obeyed. A cold sweat stood upon his brow. "Jean." resumed the corpse of the no tary, "thanks. Get ready quickly a ta ble, pens and Ink; set a chair. Good." The son entered, followed by a notary who had been intimately acquainted with the patriarch of the company. ' Make haste, my dear D 1" exclaim ed the dead man. "I count the mo ments." The notary took a seat, dipped his pea in ink and commenced the preamble usu al in acts of this kind. When he had finished he raised hi3 head. "Very good," said the corpse. "Now write." And with a voice clear and sonorous as the sound of a light hammer striking on a plate of steel, he dictated his last wish es. His eyes shone like phosphorus, and neither Jean nor his son could bear their brilliance. When he had finished, he took Jean and his son by the hand, sighed deeply and fell back heavily upon his bed. His mouth was closed, and the blazing luster of his eyeballs had disappeared like the flare of a torch which had been blown out. Two days after the old no tary was interred. Exchange. n Was It.
