TEACH SPAS IS H.
A wide business and educational
field is presented in the Philippines
where the services of hundreds of
American teachers and clerks will be
requiied. Lucrative positions will
await the ambitious vouds man or
woman of Washington once the new
Dossessions are relieved of the in
cubus of rebellion, says the Spokes
wan-Review. .Hut the universities
normal schools and high scbools of
the West and East have failed to
grasp the situation. To teach suc
cessfully in the islands of the Philip
pines a knowledge of Spanish
IS
required. To transact business knowl
edge of Spanish is imperative. In
Puerto Rico and Cuba it is even
more M'cessary than in the Philip
tunes. Inasmuch as students in high
schools and normal schools seek
practical education and hope to tit
themselves for earning their liveli
hood, why not make the study of
Spanish a part of the course?
Spanish is easily mastered. The
language is far less difficult of pro
nunciation than French und Ger
man, and will be of far more prac
tical benefit to those who enter
commercial and educational life
Especially on tie seacoast it will be
of inestimable advantage to business
men. Government positions go beg-
ging for want of bright young men
and women who have tailed to
master the tongue of the new colonial
(it zens. Two years' study in any
school, if the system is thorough,
should be ample for the average
student to learn to read, write and
speak the Spanish language. With
the narrowing of business openings
in me Lniiea Mates to the poor
young man or woman the opening
fforded by the colonies will prove
n inestimable boon. It is strange
tbat the directors of educational in
stitutions have not already included
me siuoy or tpanisb in their cur
riculum.
THREE OF A KIXD.
A reat country like the United
States, England or Germany, with a
consular service tbat covers the
globe, will be inflicted at times with
a rattle brained or hot headed rep
resentative. If be has been correct
ly reported, the British consul at
New Orleans is one or the other. A
New Orleans paper has attributed to
bim utterances unbecoming the rep
resentative of a foreign power, in
cluding an outbreak against the
American people and a special attack
on Senator Mason of Illinois. Ma
son needs criticism, but his country
men will attend to that.
In the senate Monday, the Illinois
senator seized this incident as a text
for an undignified, impassioned at
tack on a friecdly government, and
made a violent speech which was as
much in violation of the proprieties
as the alleged interview with the
offending British consul.
The senate is the treaty-making
power of this government, and is the
adviser of the president in the selec
tion of amoassadors and ministers.
For this reason the official utterances
of a senator are given a weight
abroad which is not attached to the
utterances of a private citizen, nor
even to the remarks of a member of
the house of representatives.
No one understands this better
tkan Mason. But he is enough of
the blatherskite to make cheap ap
peals for notoriety, even though tbey
snigbt endanger the friendly re'ations
of the United States and Great
IJritatn.
This is a free country, and no one
will interfere with a deemt expres
sion of sympathy for the Boer armies.
Hut the right of protest does lodge
against men like Mascn of the senate,
and DcArmond of the bouse, who
addressed the pro-Boer meeting In
New York Monday night. If these
men were in sufficient numbers, they
embroil the United States in a wau
tcn, senseless war with England.
Already they have joine-1 bands with
the Boer junta, which is plottln
everywhere to egg some great power
into an attack on England, an effort
that is right enough, from the stand
poiut of the Boer Junta, but the
American people would be unwise
to rake out the chestnuts for the
Transvaal and tho Orate Free
State.
War between the Uuitcd States
and England would be a great crime
It would be almost as deplorable as
the war between the North and the
South, with none of the justifying
motives which lav back of that
struggle. And before the cannnon
bad been booming for six weeks, a
majority of the hot-heads who now
seem to bo courting war, would be
calling for peace. With our foreign
trade gone to smash, and our army
and navy fighting our best customer,
we should see somo hard times in tbe
United States. The hot-heads would
awake then to the force of the recent
statement by President Hill, of the
Great Northern : "Great Britain buys
GO to 70 per cent of all we sell.
Great Britain is the only customer
that does not discriminate against us.
Our one main customer seems to be
a remarkably good one."
Men like Mason and DeArmond,
who do their bellowing first and their
thinking later, are the evil genius of
the republic. Spokesman-Review.
1170 IS THE MURDERER!
Our contemporary has been asking
a few pertinent questions concerning
the conditions in Kentucky, and we,
therefore, append an article from a
recent issue of The Oregonian, on
the same subject. Who is the mur
derer? Mr. Goebel, the man who
brought about the condition of an
archy in Kentucky. "He, that sows
the wind will reap the whirlwind,"
fits this case too well.
The Oregonian says:
Goebel is dying. The deplorable
thing Is the assassination, it was
Goebel who set in motion the revolu
lionary proceedings, for partisan and
personal objects, which have brought
Kentucky to the threshold of anarchy
and civil war. It was Goebel who
has led or driven these proceedings
from the first, with unrelenting
purpose. It was he who made the
law under which an election in Ken
tucky is but a farce, since it gave bis
partisans authority to set tho results
of election aside, upon any pretext.
It was he who, as a next step, led a
turbuleDt mob which intimidated the
convention of his own party and
brought about bis own nomination
for governor in a body where a large
majority opposed him. Ho proposed
to have himself counted in as gov
ernor though the plurality of the bal
lots was against him, and be bad just
about carried bis plan through to the
end.
Then bis career was stopped by
assassination. In this crime, abhor
rent and detestable as it is, there
sometimes nevertheless is some qual
ity or touch of retribution. Good
men have perished by assassination,
but Goebel is entitled to a place
among the worst who have perished
by it. It was his deliberate purpose
that the government of Kentucky
should be directed, not by a majority
of its citizens, but by his own fac
tion, under his own leadership.
Moreover, he who now has perished
at the bands of an assassin himself
bore tbe stain of blood-guiltiness.
He had "killed his man."
If the anarchy of which he was the
main cause could end with his own
career, tbe state of Kentucky might
congratulate itself. But the con
spiracy has gone to far that be was
scarcely necessary to iU further
progress. Tho revolution he pro
posed, under tbe forms of law in
iquitously made for revolutionary
objects, has gone so far that a substi
tute and successor may take up the
leadership. His faction stands in an
aggressive and revolutionary atti
tude, from which it cannot back
down without shame nor go forward
without violence. A faction in such
a situation is almost always ruled by
its impetuous and incendiary spirits.
Possibly no one may bo found to
tako the place of Goebel in audacity,
cunning and resolution. If so, bis
state will gain by bis taking off.
The action taken by Gov. Taylor
Is the response to be expected to the I
aggressive conspiracy led by Goebel
One revolutionary act is met by an
other. Now if both parties will stop
where they are, and let the result of
the election stand as the voters de
clared it, peace may be restored to
Kentucky, and this disgraceful epi
sode may stand as a warning to un
scrupulous personal and partisan
ambition.
Peace can be established in Ken
tucky by allowing the Goebelites full
swing. The state, however, id against
Goebel, and but for bis unconstitu
tional machine be would not have a
corporal's guard. Briefly summed
up, as long as Kentucky went Demo
cratic, it was all right; but now she
wants a new regime which the "old
guard" are lolb to give.
LET THE PEOPLE VOTE
On the liwtl Question All Should
Understand. It.
On every question concerning tbe
city's business, which means the Inter
est of tbe individual residents thereof,
there should be a unanimity of feeling,
and ai nearly as possible the puke of
the public should be determined regard
log it. There is at present question
before the council upon which the
property owners seem to be divided,
more eo than tbe Ciibonici.k bad
dreamed when ihe matter was first pre
sented. We refer to the question of tbe
new sewer system. Perhaps, having
no property interests, many have given
the question very little thought, but it
is the duty of all to understand tbe true
status cf the matter, what it involves
and what it means to the city, and then
determine as to tbe advisability.
At a recent meeting of the council
Councilman Wilson made a suggestion
which was just to the point, and that is
that after aseeessnient had been equal
ized and tbe amount of taxes on the
various property determined, a state
ment of the same be sent to each property
owner with a request that an opinion or
vote be given concerning the matter.
It is to be hoped tbe saggeslion will be
acted upon by the council, and thus let
tbe people have a voice in a question
which means much' to tbem. While the
city's business is placed in the hands of
the council, it certainly is the desire of
the latter to meet the approbation of the
citizens in this as well as other
queetions. If it were not, it would be the
dutyjof the people to assert their rights,
which we deem will not be found nec
essary as our council has always worked
ior the interest of the city, regardless of
personal interests.
Let the matter be thoroughly under
stood by all, eo that noue may feel they
have been taxed unjustly, having been
given no voice in the matter.
A rieasant Srulnn of Court.
If ever an aggregation of cheerful
"lawyers" got together on any occasion
it was last night, when at the invitation
of C. L. Gilbert, fifteen "legalized lights"
and court officials spent the evening
with Frank Menefee, to join in celebrat
ing his 34'.h birthday anniversary. ' It
was quite befitting on such an occasion
that the court officials be on hand, al
though, from what we learn, they must
have been bribed to stand in. It would
perhaps be an easier tafk to tell just
what wasn't done than to relate the
program in detail. However, tbe great
er part of the evening was spent at
crokonole and cards.
It had been given out that no ladies
would be admitted ; but it was very evi
dent there was a woman in the ca?e
when they eat down to a splendid lunch.
Not a guest refused to out into court,
nor asked for a change of venue; neither
did they appeal from the decision of tbe
court when it was decided they had
never fared better. During the lnnch
hour the strains of muic were borne to
them from an invisible orchestra, mak
ing the effect very pleasing; lherewas
also mnsic at the table, though lawyers
are never accused of being tuusicians.still
the strains of Au!d Lang Syne were not
lacking in strength to say nothing of
harmony. Toast was Included In every
course, and some of it was crisp, too,
particularly that which included the
personal experiences of the "toasters."
And so the evening passed and a portion
of the niitht before court adjourned, and
it required ni jury to bring ia a verdict
for a "perfect time."

The most important discovery made
by the llarriinan scientific party in
Alaska is that glaciers are receding. A
hitherto unknown fiord with a beauti
ful stream running into it was named
after Mr. Ilarriman. Many animals,
supposed to be rare, were found to be
plentiful in Alaska.
The cutting of wood for paper pulp
lias raised havoc with the forests in
some parts of the Adirondack. Not
only are thousands of fine young
Fpruces sacrificed, but through the care
lessness of workmen ltres are allowed
to start and the dried spruce tops are
excellent conductors and feeders of the
flames.
In tropical countries, quite a num
ber of plants are luminous. The meadow
lily, which grows in abundance in the
marshes of Africa, is one of the most
perfect types of vegetable phosphoreg
ccnts. In Brazil, a kind of grass, w hich
the inhabitants call khut-khuskhines,
give forth a bright light, before which
horses and other grazing animals stop
in surprise and fear.
Many persons believe that birds, re
turning to their summer quarters, are
the same that were at the same spots
the year previous; but exact proof is
rare. Mr. John U. Crow son, of (icr
niantown. Pa., saw a robin struggle to
get free from some string in which it
got entangled, resulting in a broken
leg. It was lame accordingly. The
lame bird returned year after year to
the same spot.
According to the statistics compiled
by Comptroller Color, these are the
large American cities which make no
contributions of public moneys to pri'
vate charitable institutions: lloston,
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Mil
waukee and Jersey City. Thecontribu
tions of Chicngo, St. Louis, New Or
leans, Detroit, Xewnrk and Minneapo
lis are insignificant in amount. Phila
delphia, Baltimore and Washington
charitable institutions get public aid,
but New York contributes more in a
year than all other American cities col
lectively. The amount of New York's
contribution to private charitable funds
is in excess of $3,0OO,0C0 yearly.
A STRANGE RESOLVE.
n Eccentric Doctor Drops Ilia Title
and Hefners to Attend the
Sick. 4
The death by lightning of Dr. Andrew
Martin, of Mount Joy, 'recently, has
brought to light a most eccentric and
remarkable career, one that seems al
most improbable in this enlightened
community. After Dr. Martin had re
ceived his early education the war broke
out, and he enlisted in the Forty-third
Ohio regiment, and it was w hile serving
with that regiment at the battle of
Chancellorsville that he first gained
notoriety.
During the hottest of the fight, with
his comrades falling dead about him,
he offered up a fervent prayer to the Al
mighty to protect him from harm,
promising to devote the rest of his days
to serving his liod if so spared. He went
through the war unscathed, but he ap
parently forgot his promise end took
up the study of medicine, beginning at
Beading, where he built up u lucrative
business.
He had accumulated quite a fortune,
when one day, about ten years ago, he
suddenly gave up his practice without
any warning to his patients, many of
whom needed his attention, lie de
clared that a man who lived o correct
life needed no doctor and others should
have none. About the time he quit
practicing, one of his patients called on
him for mediiine for his wife, whom the
doctor had been treating, but he posi
tively refused to give her any more
medicine. The man became very an
gry with the physician, saying: -If my
w ife dies I w ill hold you rt sponsible for
her death," but the threat had no effect
on him.
He removed to Mount Joy Rhortly
afterward, where he had been living
ever since the life of a recluse, never ap
pearing on the streets except to attend
the New Mennonite church, which he
had joined. This sect is noted for its
jpany peculiarities in religious and so
cial life, and Dr. Mnrtin soon fell in with
their ways. When he retired from his
medical profession he dropped the title
of doctor, and, as he wanted nothing
more to do with worldly affairs, hp de
cided to make n bonfire of all papers in
his possession pertaining to his army
nnd professional life. He gathered
them all together, including his army
discharge and college diplomas, und set
fire to the pile.-St, Louis Republic.
