The death of Mrs. John M. Thurston
early this week, was a great shock to
n'l the friends of the Senator. Her
eloquent p'ea to the mothers of tbe
north-land for aid for the suffering,
starving and dying Cubans seems to
have been the. con pletlon of her life

ThW nation has nothing I w good for
the veterans of the late war, and 1
should not permit the most dependent
to be subject to the control of a man
who has once been ab judged unfit to be
governor of a home, and removed. The
home at Los Angeles, Cal, has an un
fit man at lis head and the government
officials are aware of the fact. He
should be succeeded byfsome man who
knows the needs and sympathises with
the Inmates sufficiently to see that no
favoritism creeps Into the home.
An amusing incident which happen
ed on Tenth street yesterday Is told by
one of our friends:
. Several of the Pope's Irish, who
were perh&pe a little the worses for
too much St Patrick's day whiskey
were standing on tbe street corner
commenting upon the passers-by in a
more or less uncomplimentary way
when they noticed a very black negro
wearing a shamrock coming up the
street One of the crowd exclaimed:
"Look at that! Look at th" mug on
'lm! He couldn't make one of us be
lieve he's from Ireland!"
As the negro n eared them the speak
er continued: "I'll just take a punch
at 'im for luck!"
The negro was too quick for his as
sailant, and by a deft movement land
ed him in the gutter. A second Irish
man came to the rescue and he too
wae landed over the curb by the
negro, who then fearing attack from
the remaining members of the crowd,
ran off down the street, making his
escape without a scratch.
Our friend says that if that negro is
looking for a Job perhaps he can find
a summer's work ia bis company.

Graven above the hearthstone of the

greeting and monition: 1 "Welcome to
loyal hearts. We Join ourselves to no
party which does not carry the flag
and keep step to tha music of the Un

loyal? Do not all honor flag and Un
ion? What relic ia this, say you, of
the long years when treason fought
for the flag and the only music of the
Union was the roar of (he battles that
saved her? Ah, but these words were
chiseled long after those dreadful
years, and they' have aa deep a mean
ing now. For the welcome Is not to
the cold, outward loyalty, which may
not plot treason, but is unfaithful to
citizen obligation, indifferent, unpatri
otic. It is to the warm, loyal heart
that loves and is true.
The flag ia well and the music is
well, but what though the music swell
grandly out upon the same breete that
ripples Into starry splendors the glory
of the flag if ears are deaf to the
mighty harmony and eyes glis
ten not at the vision what
snail It avail?. Tbe flag must be car
ried. It must be borne high, and
at the head of thu grand army. It
must load a march and lead it aright,
and the tramp, tramp, tramp of the
marching hosts must be to the majes
tic rhythm of that music whose puls
ings only patriotic hearts may feel.
This is what the motto of the Union
League Club means. Not a negative,
passive loyalty, but a patriotism posi
tive and in action. Not a flag floating
Idly and unnoticed, but a flag revered,
carried, followed, and leading an on
ward movement of the republic's
grand army of cltlznsulp van of the
onward movement of humanity In
I true step to that sublime music of our
Union, which, by and by, please God,
shall blend with the sublimer music
of the spheres In that solemn and
blessed anthem of humanity, "Peace
on earth, good will to men." In the
spirit of Its noble motto, the Union
league salutes you, O youth of loyal
heart!
I have endeavored thus to emphasize
an intelligent enthusiasm as an essen
tial quality of effective patriotism,
and to emphasize the blending of the
auallty and life of the teacher with
the things taught as an essential
quality of effectual educational effort
because the ultimate thought which
I wish to enforce as a lesson of the
day to us is this: "The spirit of pat
rlotism, an lndspensable element of
the teacher's motive Its transfusion
an essential element of the teacher's
endeavor."
1R, JEKTL AND MR. HYDE.
Congressman Boutelle Threw the Mask
Off the Adminltratlon.
The following is an interesting bit
of information whicn throws some
light uoon the supposed vigorous pol
icy of the administration in the mat
ter of the destruction of the battleship
Maine. The staff correspondent of the
Chicago Journal says: ,
Washington, March 16. President
McKlnley has sacrificed, temporarily
at least, the friendship of Congress
man 'Boutelle, chairman of the house
committee on naval affairs.
The two have had a serious differ
ence, and aa a result the gentleman
from Maine has announced that he
will not in the future subject himself
to censure and criticism by trying to
carry out the radiating wishes of
the administration.
It is said that Mr. Boutelle almost
quarreled with the president and that
he left the white house in an excited
frame of mind.
The origin of the difficulty is found
in a request made by Secretary Long
for 100 naval engineers.
Mr. Boutelle told the secretary that
he understood the needs of uie navy,
and it waa 100 skill :d machinists that
were wanted.
The upshot of it was that the recom
mendations of the administration will
be ignored and the proposed bill will
contain only sack provisions as the
committee see fit to make.
Dut this dor not mean that there
will be any stinting. On the contrary
the measure will be he mosv stupen
dous ever reported. Congressman Foss.
who Is a member, aaid thla afternoon
that he would propose an amendment
that would give tbe navy, In addition
to the three battleships already In
cluded, alx torpedo boat destroyers.
and six torpedo boats. These will cost
In the neighborhood of $13,000,000,
while the battleships will rout about
$9,000,000.
Every other paragraph In the bill
will be, Increased in the aame propor
tion. There is now a desire on tbe part of
every member of the committee to
display a liberal spirit and there Is
little doubt that Speaker Reed will be
astounded when the bill Is laid before
him. It will almost double the number
of men In the navy. The personnel
of tbe nsvy will be enlarged by the
shifting of engineers from tbe revenue
service to the various war vessels.
These men are skilled and competent
to take command of the new ships.
In the regulations now a new appli
cant must be a graduate of Annapolis,
so that new men would be assigned
to the revenue service and an obstacle
would In this way be easily overcome.
There is also a well-defined inten
tion on the part of the committee to
provide men to work every ship that
is In service now or that may later be
Impressed. There will be no limit
placed on the number of sailors to be
enlisted, because It is a fact that ex
perienced mariners are hard to get
In the matter of ammunition, pro
jectiles and torpedoes, an amount of
money will be applied that will make
Spain open her eyes, and in every
other respect the committee will be
generous.
The decision of Mr. Dou telle to go
farther than thepresldenteverdreamed
of going was prompted by hla reluc
tance to stand the brunt of abuse that
should have been directed toward the
administration.
It develops that Boutelle has been
acting under Instructions in delaying
matters. The president is of the opin
ion that he can perform the impos
sible. He thinks that he can peace
fully adjust all differences, and that
any Increase of the army and navy
beyond normal requirements would
be a waste of money, but he does not
care to openly Indicate this. He pre
fers to make various demonstrations
with toe $50,000,000 in his possession
without spending any more than is
necessary in his Judgment
But Mr. Boutelle Is not willing to
play the buffer between the adminis
tration and people. He is acquainted
with the deficiencies of the navy, and
he will proced upon tne presumption
that war will come and must be pre
pared for.
This is one of the signs that con
gress anticipates the day when it ivlll
be called upon to act independently
of the president.
Edinburgh, Scotland, Feb. 12. Jo
seph Slattery and his wife, the lectur
ing exprlest and former sister of char
ity, who, were mobbed at Savannah
and other American cities, were
charged at a police court here today
with selling Indecent books, purport
ing to be "an exposure of Catholi
cism." The court was crbwded with
Catholics and Protestants. Slattery
promised to destroy the books and the
case was adjourned In order to enable
him to fulfliri his promise.
Upon reading the above dispatch we
sent a cable message to Rev. Slattery
asking him for a full explanation of
the Incident, but as ne had already
left Edinburgh, the message had to
be forwarded to New castletyne. On
receipt of our inquiry Rev. Slattery
wrote us as follows:
Sunderland, Scotland, Feb. 28, 1898.
The American: In reply to your
cablegram will say that the case will
not be finished until the 12th of
Marc. I will then give you the
whole thing as well as a full account
of my travels since I left America.
I send kindest regards to all liberty
loving people in the great west We
have conquered Rome all through here
and will conquer her on March 12.
Love to all friends. I remain, truly
yours. JOSEPH SLATTERY.
Commercialism vs. Patrietiftm.
That commercial spirit which ' be
lieves that speculation is the chief end
of man is gaining strengtu in this
country. It is laboring to poison pat
riotism at the fountain. It seeks to
make Americans believe that dishonor,
shame, humiliation should be submit
ted to cheerfully sooner taan that the
stock market snouid be disturbed or
the revelries of the "400" be interfered
with.
That base commercial spirit, acting
in unison with the mugwumpery of
the country, is trying .o gain admis
sion to the councils of the nation and
to hypnotize congress and the presi
dent so that they may do its cowardly
will. Is the commercial spirit to rule,
the country to be disgraced, and the
name of McKlnley to be bracketed
with that of Buchanan?
Or is the unpardonable Insult which
this country has receivt- to be atoned
for by tne expulsion of the Spaniards
from Cuba? Patriotic Americans hope
for tue latter. They believe the ad
ministration feels as Uey do. Chicago
Tribune.
War aad Heater, Bet Peace aad glass,
The Washington dispatches of the
Tribune state that Friday the presi
dent and his cabinet discussed three
contingencies. Tbe .rst was that the
Maine was blown up by accident That
contingency has been disposed of. It
Is known that Its destruction was the
act of Spaniards.
The second contingency
Considered the finding that the
Maine was blown up by private per
sons without any action by the Span
ish government, but leaving that gov
ernment responsible for the arts of
Its citizens. This might be followed
by a demand for an indemnity with
the usual ultimatum. In the third
case the board might find that the
explosion of the Maine was a distinct
hostile act on the part of Spain.
President icKlnley did not origin
ate this suggestion that If "the Span
ish government" Sagasta at Madrid
or Blanco at Havana did order the
blowing up of the Maine and tbe mur
der of its crew, but Spanish officials.
acting with authority,' diu It. then the
United States should say to Spain:
"Give us much money and we will
shake hands over the blood-stained
wreck."
That dishonoring suggestion, rank
with cowardice, came from the mug
wumps and from the jackrabblts of
the stock exchanges, who are thrown
Into a panic by rumors of war and
rush Into the market to sacrifice their
holdings. The "peace at any price"
men of 1896 are the ones who have
managed to smuggle into tue white
house this proposition .uat the honor
of the government be bartered away
for a few million dollars.
This degrading suggestion the ac
ceptance of which would put the
United States In the attitude of a man
who opened negotiations with the rav-
Isher of hjs wife, stating, "Let us see
if we cannot settle this regrettable
affair on a pecuniary basis," will be
rejected indignantly by President Mc
Klnley. Correspondents of partisan
democratic pipers who intimate that
he looks favorably on this second con
tingency misrepresent him shame
fully. Suppose the government were to de
mand a heavy money indemnity of
Spain on the ground that the crime
which has been perpetrated was the
act of Sapnlards who were not acting
under instructions lrom their govern
ment then the United States would fall
Into the hands of me pettifogging,
procrastinating Spanish diplomats.
who are masters of the art of killing
time.
Month aiter month would glide by
and no conclusion would be reached.
As fast as one point was disposed of
Spain wouit raise another. It would
be professing continually an earnest
desire to reach a satisfactory conclu
sion that would keep t..at dangling
before the eyes of the American gov
ernment, expecting that American in
dignation woulu aoate and finally the
whole matter would drop.
The president knows the diplomtlc
methods of the Spaniards, rie must
know aiso sometn.ng of the feelings
of his fellow countrymen. The voice
of the Indignant people reaches his
ears as well as the craven pleadings
of the t'.mld Wall street speclators.
The people want no disgraceful ne
gotiations with Spain. Should the
president plunge his administration
into that morass he and nis party
would be swept out of power in 1900
by a fierce outburst, ot popular Indig
nation. An administration which
stains the na..onal honor never will
be forgiven.
A century and a half ago England
declared war on Spain, one of the
causes being that the commander of
a Spanish coastguard vessel off Ha
vana had cut off one of the ears of an
English sea captain whose vessel he
had overhauled. Spaniards have blown
up an American war snip and killed
its seamen. It makes no difference
whether they were authorized" or
"instructed" or not The only ade
quate punishment for such a crime is
the merciless punishment of war.
The foul crime committed in a
Spanish port by Spaniards in order to in
jure the United States and help Spajn
must be punished by tne sword. Spain
must be driven from the western
world. The Americans must make as
short work of her in Cuba as Jackson
did In Florida
This nation must strike, not
threaten. It must spy, The sword
will be drawn from .-e scabbard If
'lndemlty is not paid." It must not
even hint that the wrong which has
been done can be atoned for by money.
For if it did the world would say that
everything has its price in the United
States, the national honor included.
Fleets and armies, not diplomats and
arbitrators, must settle this Spanish
question. Chicago 'tribune.

Dr. S. G. Stapp, who befriended the

was held up at the corner of O'Falon

Dr. Stapp, who is 67 years old, had
just left this office, 1317 North Broad
way, and was about to step upon the
rear platform of the street car, when
Egan, 25 years of age, struck the doc
tor a blow under the chin and upon
his "Adam's apple' and wrenched
from the former's neck his cravat con
taining the costly in. The doctor fired
two shoU at the Roman thief and the
watchman around on O'Fallon street
had just arrived at Broadway and fired
also two shots at the fleeting form of
the thug, proverbially known us a

The doctor prizes the stone for more

The doctor Is a true American, not on

The following Is an extract from an
address delivered by Priest T. H. Ma
lone, of Denver, Colo., at Ottawa, 111.,
March 16th, on the occasion of the
Irish centennial celebrations of the
revolution of 1798. The Priest said:
"The history of Ireland, sad and
heart-rending in so many of its phas
es, inspires Irishmen -nd the sons of
Irishmen to sympathize deeply with
all people struggling to be free. Yet
the horrors of war are so appalling
that only the gravest reasons should
Impel any government to depart from
the ways of peace. Good citizens de
plore the cnarges and insinuations
that the chief executive of this nation
is swayed in dealing with the Cuban
question by the influence of tne money
power.
"I did not vote for McKlnley, but I
gave Willi g expression on this oc
casion to tbe opinion that he seeks
a peaceful solution of the difficulties
taht now threaten us simply and sole
ly because he nas at heart the best in
terests of the people that of the art
isan in the chop and the laborer on
tne street as well as that of tue mil
lionaire. In applauding McKinley for
his honorable attempts to give us
peace with honor, we are neither pop
ulists, democrats nor republicans, but
American citizens."
