AT THE HEMP PORTS
Kobbc's Expedition to Samar
and Lcytc.
ISLANDS ARE OPENED TO TRADE
IVetivea "With Wooden Swords and
Bevrs and Arrows Resisted
Led by Ta&ral Rebels.
MANILA, Feb. 5. Brigadier-General
Kobbe's expedition in the islands of Lu
zon, Leyte and Samar has occupied per
manently and garrisoned nine towns with
the Forty-third and Forty-seventh regi
ments. This has placed on the market
130,00 bales of hemp.
A thousand insurgents armed with
rifles, and over 5009 armed with -wooden
ewe 4s. bows and arrows, were encoun
tered during the entire trip. The troops
killed 76 natives. 11 of whom had rifles.
The others were villagers armed with
wooden swords. The American losses
were one man killed and nine wounded.
The Americans captured 9000 in gold, the
enemy's money, and 40 muzzle-loading
braes cannon. At Calbayog, Samar, the
enemy evacuated the town, the Americans
chasing, fighting and scattering them to
the mountains.
At Cabalogan, Lukban, the Tagal gen
eral fired the place with kerosene just
before the Americans landed, and then
lought with cannon and rifles from the
"hills encircling the town, for two hours.
"When the Filipinos were driven out, the
Americans did their best to save the town,
fighting fire for several hours. Thirty
atone and 76 other houses, half the busi
ness portion of the place, were consumed.
The soldiers prevented the fire from
spreading.
The next day Major Allen, with three
companies of the Forty-third regiment,
pursued Lukban to the mountain fast
nesses, and thence to the coast town,
-where Lukban was heading, in hopes of
escape. Lukban, by taxing the natives,
has accumulated $100,000 in gold. His cap
ture is probable.
At Tacloban, island of Leyte, the en
emy evacuated the town and the Amerl
cans pursued them to the hills. Several
fleeing nonoombatants wore killed, in
cluding three women. At Palo, seven
miles distant, the enemy was found en
trenched, and resisted. Lieutenant John
son and 12 scouts from the Forty-third
regiment drove out 150 of the enemy and
captured the town.
The insurgents in these towns are most
ly Vteayane, who had been Impressed Into
the service of the Tagal leaders from Lu
aon. The Visayans appear indifferent or
sullenly antagonistic to the American oc
cupation. The Tagal chiefs influenced
them against us, but when they perceive
we are much more powerful than the
Tagsis, and intend to maintain garrisons
in order to open the islands to commerce.
It is believed the rebel party will lose Its
popularity The Americans are gladly ac
cepted by the inhabitants, who are daily
returning to the towns. There is a rush
of commercial vessels from Manila to
these new ports.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED.
Otis' Orders for the Opening of Phll-
ipBlne Ports.
NEW YORK. Feb. I. A special to the
I?'raM tTom Washington says:
Oomral orders issued by Major-General
QtteMlntlve to the establishment of civil
goXornment and of the opening of ports
of tbt PM!tples to trade, have Just been
recdved by the war department
Brigadier-General S. B. M. Young Is

After the appointment of General Young,
Genera) Otis issued an order declaring
Dasupan. San Fernando de Laulon, Vlgan,
Lac and Aparrl open for trade under
coasting trade regulations. General Otis
also issued an order at the same time, de
claring that trade with the ports of Sulu
archipelago, with those of Zamboanga,
Cottabatto and Davao. of the Island of
Mindanao, and with the Island of Basllan
be re-established. The ports of Zambo

sunset and sunrise. Is nrohlbited. Should
such boats aDDroach a warship of the
United States during the period specified
they will Incur the great danger of being
fired upon."
Manauense Investigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. An official
Investigation of the charges of unsea
worthiness and bad management of the
transport Manauense, recently returned
from Mauila and now In quarantine, has
been begun, but none of the evidence has
been made public. The officers of the
vessel vigorously deny all of the accusa
tions and attribute them to the fact that
the men were allowed too much liquor on
the outward voyage.
Prisoners on the Meade.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. On the
transport Meade, which Is in quarantine,
are 139 military prisoners who are to
serve out their sentence in American
prisons. The unruly ones are under
the guard of three officers. There are
also 55 discharged soldiers and six civil
ians aboard the vessel. On the voyage two
of the passengers died.
MAINTAIN OPEN DOOR.
United, States Should Establish Trade
Equality in Central America.
The principle of the open door for trade
may Kbe the solvent of all International
obstacles In way of construction of a ship
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific by
the United States government. That was
a keen remark of a member of congress,
in substance, "Why are we making such
fuss about the open door in China if we
are going to keep the door shut In Cen
tral America?" By frank adoption of thla
principle fcr the canal, wherever built,
says the New York Commercial Adver
tiser, we should satisfy all international
objections that are reasonable and win a
frank and cheerful withdrawal of those
International objections which are unrea
sonable and Impossible. It is less a con
cession on our part than obedience to the
natural law of our own industrial and com
mercial development and that of the most
highly civilized nations. We should do
only what England does In Egypt for the
Suez canal, only what we have asked all
the powers to do In their spheres of in
fluence in China; what Great Britain does
for all her channels of commerce In Ahla,
and what we require of Russia for her
railroads in North China. We need make
no concession of national power or oppor
tunity for Influence in peace or defense in
war. Britain has made none at Alexan
dria or Hong Kong, and Russia will make
none at Port Arthur or Tallen-Wan.
What is the principle of the open dooi
for trade? It is simply that of equality
of opportunity for trade for all the world
and surrender of the privilege of monop
oly. It Is the British colonial policy, as
opposed to the Spanish. Yet the phrase has
no meaning when applied to strictly ter
ritorial dominions politically Incorporated
-with a nation. It has no application to
Puerto Rico or Hawaii, though It will bo
maintained In Cuba and the Philippines,
under military rules; later. It will. 'depend
on this form of union with us. It is a prin
ciple for territory of a sluggish and back
ward nation, administered by one of higher
skill and energy for Its Industrial develop
ment, commercial exploitation, police pro
tection and general elevation in the scale
of civilization and humanity. It requires
that the protecting nation shall claim no
monopoly privilege, but shall admit the
trade of all other nations on the same
terms enjoyed by Its own subjects, setting
up against It no obstruction of discriminat
ing duties on goods or charges for rail
or water transit. But it does not forbid
the protecting nation to take prudent
military and naval measures for protection
of its interests and those of the protected,
and for maintenance of that firm adminis
tration which Is the guaranty of the open
door for trade, as armed force at bottom
is the fundamental guaranty of civil order,
industrial freedom and commercial secur
ity everywhere.
This is the policy of the English In
Egypt and Hong Kong. It Is that we
have sought to Impose upon Russians and
Germane In North China. Why not adopt
it frankly for the lnteroceanlc canal and
seek modification of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty to this extent only? The treaty Is
impossible as it stands. No nation would
spend $150,000,000 to construct a great na
tional work in foreign territory without
full and enduring power for its adminis
tration and defense. Interest of the world
in this matter Is common with ours. We
cannot pledge the open door that is, use
of the canal by the trade of all nations
on the same terms unless we have force
to defend It against any that should wish
to compel a monopoly for Itself. Seeking
no monopoly for ourselves, we must guard
against another's. The freedom of the
Suez canal Is guarded by the British fleet,
sheltered In Alexandria and Aden. The
open door in North China will be guarded
by fortresses at Port Arthur and Klao
Chou. The American open door between
the two oceans will be useless to any one
unless It lies on a strip of territory firmly
administered and safeguarded by a forti
fied naval base at either gate. The first
effective step to Its construction should
be substitution for the obsolete Clayton
Bulwer treaty of a treaty with all the
powers we have sought pledges from In
China, simply pledging use of the canal
to the trade of all nations on equal terms
with our own. In the present state of In
ternational relations, this ought not to be
a difficult matter.

CLEARING AWAY RUINS.
Work at Burned Standard Oil Com.
pony's Warehouse.
If a stray spark from some of the ad
joining mills happens to drop in on the
ruins of the Standard Oil Company's
warehouse. It will find material for a very
respectable fire ready to hand. A force
of men Is now engaged In clearing f.way
the wreckage of the recent blaze, and
they are wading knee deep In a green,
greasy slime, that looks as If It would
burn always if once it got a start. The
smell of the place Is sug,restiv6 of a soap
factory, but the men who are at work
there have evidently become used to it,
for none of them was wearing strainers
on his nose yesterday.
As yet no steps have been taken toward
building the new retaining wall that is to
enclose the tanks. The walls of the old
warehouse are toppling over at an angle
that would give the tower of Pisa vertigo,
but the judicious application of scantlings
has held It aloft temporarily, although for
what purpose is not clear, for It must
come down before a substantial wall can
be built.
Scattered about near the ruins are scores
of barrels of oil. which were rolled out of
the building while It was burning, at the
Imminent risk of the rollers. Boxes and
cans of various greasy preparations are
being transferred from the charred pack
ages which protected them during the
fire, to untried but better-looking cases.
The place Is still the target of occasional
wandering camera fiends, and sightseers
prowl about it now and then, until they
come within smelling distance.

WATTERSON'S STATEMENT
SITUATION IX KENTUCKY FROM HIS
VIEWPOINT.
Louisville fc Nashville Railroad Com
pany the Head and Front of
the Present Troubles.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Feb. 5. Henry WaL
terson today gave out the following state
ment: "The head and front of our present
troubles In Kentucky, at once the source
and the resource of the revolutionary pro
ceeding by wh.ch repub.lcan government
has been for the time struck down and a
military dictatorship set up In Its place.
Is the Louisville & Nahvihe Railway
Company. In the recent state campaign.
it supplied material resources in Mich
abundance as to draw out all the danger
ous elements of society and to put inio
activity all the forces of political adven
ture. The two leading parties to the con
test were as nothing by comparison to Its
gigantic machinery for corrupting the
elections. The hordes of desperate moun
tain men, who were precipitated upon the
state capital, could never have got theie
except through its agency.
"It is at this moment the backbone of
the movement to transfer the state capi
tal from the city of Frankfort, its lawful
abode, to the l.ttle village of London, In
Laurel county, situated upon one of its
branches, in the heart of the vendetta
region, whose turbulency haj for years
disgraced the state. It is believed that the
withdrawal of its support from the de facto
government would stop these dangerous
and lawless proceedings.
"Some seven months ago, foreseeing
something of this situation, I wrote ear
nestly to August Belmont, the financial
head of the Louisville & Nashville Rail
way Company, to protest against Its in
terference in party affairs, having in vain
sought to dissuade Milton H. Smith, Its
local president. I was then, as I am now
and have been for 30 years, the friend of
that great corporation. Mr. Be'.mont
showed my letter the courtesy of sub
mitting It to his executive board and did
me the honor to send me a copy of its
deliberations embracing the reasons of its
refusal to consider my appeal In the af
firmative. The sole purpose of the Lou.s
ville & Nashville was at every cost and
hazard to defeat the election of Mr? Goe
bel to the governorship of Kentucky.
"Mr. Goebel was a man of unlmpeached
purity of private Lfe and of conceded pro
fessional ability. During 10 years' service
as senator in the state leg'slature, no act
of his excepting what is known as the
Goebel election law had brought the least,
reproach upon Tilm, nor any unclean dol-
lar had ever been charged against him,
although money to corrupt legislation had
often flowed as free as water at Frank
fort. But, in some way, he had given
deadly offense to the management of the
Louisville & Nashville, and this manage
ment felt that It must destroy him.
"It has certainly done this. But in do
ing It it has brought upon the people of
Kentucky the Incalculable wrong and
the dire disgrace of transactions unexam
pled in, the history of republican govern
ment. There is not at this moment, nor
has there been at any moment, the least
disorder, or menace of disorder, except
such as has emanated from the hand of
the de facto governor, Taylor. The moun
tain men were brought to Frankfort, if
not by his express command, yet by and
with his knowledge and consent. Their
presence in Frankfort could have but one
meaning and purpose; and, as If to aug
ment both meaning and this purpose, some
i them who had been arrested by the
lv al police for carrying deadly weapons.
and for disorderly conduct were, In ad
vance of trial, pardoned by the de facto
governor.
"The shot that killed Mr. Goebel was
fired from an upper w.ndow of the execu
tive office, which swarmed with the
armed adherents of the de facto governor.
Admission to this building was at once
denied the civil authorities; a cordon of
troops was thrown about it, and there, un
der the pretense of being in a state of
siege, the de facto governor has ever since
held himself a voluntary prisoner, though
surrounded "by the state militia, called out
by himself, and Issuing thence proclama
tions disbanding the general assembly
and transferring the seat of government
of the commonwealth.
"All this while the contestants before
the legislature were proceeding strictly
in accordance with laws of contest, as
old as the constitution of the state, with
not the least threat of violence or show
of disorder. There was positively no
thought of insurrection, outside the imag
ination of the governor. By hl3 orders
the general assembly of the common
wealth has been denied access to Its
chambers in the state capltol, close by,
guarded by troops; by his orders Its mem
bers have been chased through the
streets of Frankfort from one place to
another, seeking a legislative ab din?
place; and by his orders the processes of
the courts of law, including the writ of
habeas corpus, are denied" service and the
lawful procedure of the peace officers
has been put at defiance, whilst martial
law has taken the place of the' civil law,
and on these lines an armed conflict Is
invited.
"This is the exact situation. In Ken
tucky. I give it in answer to numerous
telegrams and letters from all parts of
the country asking It. I have no party
Interest to serve. I am not now and have
not been for years in executive fellow
ship with the leaders of my own party;
and my sole purpose Is to represent to
the sober sense and good feeling of all
parties that the condition of affairs in
Kentucky Is not that of force against
force, justifying a certain neutrality in
public opinion, but that of a military usur
pation, unwarranted by law against what
the law writers call 'the peace and dig
nity of the commonwealth. "
ATTITUDE OF REPUBLICANS.
Statement Issued With, the Approval
of Governor Taylor.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 5. The follow
ing statement In regard to the position
assumed by the republicans in the contro
versy over the governorship of Kentucky
was made today "by one In authority in the
republican party. The statement was
made to a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press with the full knowledge and
personal approval of Governor Taylor,
who heard every word, and the inter
view may be regarded therefore as official:
"The legislature was convened at London
under plain constitutional provisions. It
cannot legally act anywhere else, and all
attempted acts done by any rump legisla
ture anywhere else are void. The matter
must be amicably settled or there Is no
surrender. Republican majority Is beyend
question. The corstitution provides that
the one receiving the greatest number of
votes shall ba governor, and by that
declaration we propose to stand. Repub
licans are denied trial, denied hearing.
They were deprived of their rights at the
ballot-boxes also at every election tri
bunal in the state.
"Notwithstand ng all that, they won. and
every honest man in Kentucky knows this
to be true. The 1 bertles of the people
must be upheld under the law, If possible,
but the liberties of the people must bj
upheld No partisan court has a right to
tie the hands of the chief executive of the
state, and any attempt to do so will be dis
regarded. The lives and liberties of the
people are. in part intrusted to the chief
executive. Inasmuch as It Is his sworn duty
to protect this liberty against fraudulent
judgments written to overthrow the will
of the people aa It is to protect them from
the Invasion of a foreign foe.
"Some critic sms have been made against
us berause the rump legislature was not
allowed lo assemble. It was certainly In
cumbent on the authorities that no such
assemblage of men should be allowed, out
of which might grow further riot and
strife. "Wfcen. the legislature was au-
Journed, the whole city wa3 convulsed
ana In a frenzy. Both sides were ready
to do desperate acts. Threats" were heard
everywhere. The contest committee de
nied counsel the right to argue, and every
thing Wis In chaos and excitement. No
one who was not present and on the
ground can comprehend the great danger
to life and property If the lgls.a.ura
had met amid this excitement and at
tempted to carry into Effect the par.isan
decision of the committee. It wou.d,
doubtless, li such moments of passion,
have acted as hastily and as vindictively
as has the committee. Goebel s partisans
would have at once set up claims
and title to the governor's office.
Anarchy and confusion would have
reigned among the militia. Divided and
torn by strife, an inevitable conflict would
have ensued. This would have converted
the city Into a veritable mob. But the
legislature was adjourned to the 6th of
February. This gave an opportunity for
the storm to pass and the passions to cool.
No set of men were fit to sit In
judgment upon the ver? questions that
had brought about the fearful condition
at the time that the legislature was de
manding the right to act.
"What was the plain duty of the gover
nor? Could It have been anything elsa
than in some heroic way to prevent fur
ther bloodshed and ruin? This was done
by giving time for the sober second
thought of the people to assert Itself."
TROOPS AT LONDON.
Company of Militia on Hand to Pre
serve Order.
LONDON, Ky., Feb. 5. A company of
state militia, numbering 90 men, under
uapiam Jfowers, arrived here today from
Barboursville. There was no special dem
onstration. Twenty mountaineers rode
Into town at daybreak. They say they
came to attend court, which opened to
day. Rumors have been circulated here all
day that the proposed convention of the
legislature has been abandoned. Finally,
at 1:C0 o'clock, a message was received
from Governor Taylor at Frankfort, say
ing: "The legislature will certainly be held
In London tomorrow."
The republican members of the senate
and house held a separate and secret cau
cus today In the circuit courtroom, the
senators occupying one side of the room
and the representatives the other. The
caucuses occupied but a short time.
Both caucuses appointed committees to
draft resolutions of respect upon the
death of Senator Goebel. As far as can
be learned, the two houses will adjourn
soon, after convening tomorrow, until
Thursday.
THE CASE OF "DOUG" HAYES.
Rumor That a Militia Force Will Re
lease Him.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 5. A report
was circulated today that, acting under
the orders of Governor Taylor, a force
of state militia was to be sent to the state
penitentiary and force the release of
"Doug" Hayes, who Is serving a term of
five years for manslaughter, and who was
pardoned by Governor Taylor last week,
but whose release had been refused by
the prison authorities. Warden Lillard
left here last night for Louisville, but the
state board of penitentiary commission
ers was notified that such action was
to be taken. Commissioner Fcnnell at
once telephoned the prison authorities to
lock the prison gates, but to offer no re
sistance outside of that, even if the mili
tia undertook to batter down the gates
and take Hayes away by force.
NOOKSACK BOOM TO GO.
Commerce of the River Too, Impor
tant to Admit of -Obstruction.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Considerable
Interest was centered in the case of the
United States against the Bellingham Bay
Boom Company, In which a decision was
recently rendered by the supreme court
adverse to the company. This case went
to the supreme court on an appeal from
the decision of the circuit court of appeals
of the ninth circuit, which refused the
United States an injunction against the
company. The original suit was brought
by the attorney-general, upon the recom
mendation of the secretary of war, to en
Join the boom company from maintaining
a boom in the Nooksack river, Wash., and
for a decree requiring the removal of that
obstruction.
The obstruction complained of consists
of a long boom at the point where the
river flows Into the bay, and was con
structed by driving piles on each side
and across the channel of the river, where
the channel left the uplands and entered
the tide Hats of the bay, and by fasten
ing to the piles long timbers called boom
sticks, so as to form a contnuous and
unbroken inclosure, sufficient to catch and
retain all logs and floating driftwood
which should be carried down the river.
It was shown that the Nooksack river
was navigable from Its mouth for sev
eral miles towards its source. For more
than a year the company has maintained
an obstruction in the navigable waters of
therlver, which blockaded the stream dur
ing a large portion of the year, rendering
navigation impossible. The river is used
for navigation by steamboats and email
craft, and the company had no permission
from the secretary of war to maintain the
boom, which has been maintained with
out his consent.
An examination Into the facts showed
the river to be navigable for a distance of
20 to 30 miles from its mouth, for steam
ers of as much as seven feet draft. Until
the boom was built In 1890 there was no
obstruction to navigation in the river. The
country tributary to the river Is heavily
timbered, and freshets carried large quan
tities of driftwood down stream, and the
floating drift was carried out to sea, caus
ing no obseructlon to navigation. Until
the boom was built there was no
obstruction to navigation. It was
also shown that while a "trip" was left
In the boom to permit the passage of ves
sels, that In times of heavy water the
rush was so great that this became
choked, and It was Impossible to keep an
opening. By going around the boom ves
sels ran a great risk, and in many in
stances did go aground on the flats.
At the time of the survey for the con
struction of th's boom the channel of the
river was open and free from driftwood.
Then a considerable traffic by steamboats
was carried on this river between the
towns and settlements along the river
and the cities of Whatcom Seattle and
Tacoma. Then the "boats made frequent
trips up and down the river, and as many
as two steamboats per day were seen on
the river. The settlements along the
river have been constantly increasing, and
the farm products alio greatly Increas
ing, with a corresponding demand for
steamboat transportat on which ha3 grown
from year to -year. The obstruction
caused -by the boom, however, has caused
and Is causing irreparable injury to the
settlers in the country adjacent to the
river.
Upon this showing, and the fact that
as settlements and population increas-,
the necessity for river transportation will
Increase In the same ratio, and as the
clearing of the land progresses the neces
sity for a log boom will decrease, con
vinced the supreme court that the boom
must go. and the decision against the
Belllngham Bay Boom Company was ac
cordingly rendered.

'' Slinm Antiquities.
Art Amateur.
A few years ago, in Soho, London, there
was a factory for antique coppers which
Is probably still in operation. The legiti
mate business of the place was the manu
facture of stewpans and kettles; but when
trade was dull in that way any sort of
antiques for which there happened to be
a demand was produced Instead. An old
incense-burner, for example, would be re
produced by the dozen by hammering over
a chuck. If ornamented with pierced
work, the copies would be coated with
Jasphaltum, through -which the design
would be traced, when It would then be
eaten out In aa acid bath, saving the
time which would be required to cut out
the pattern with a piercing saw. The bath
leaves thin edges, by whioh such worK
may be detected. The work would then
be annealed, and would be permitted to
nxldlze and scale. Pickling with muriatic
acid and salt, to produce a good coating
of verdigris, would complete the job. Some
times these "antiques" would be purposely
broken, and would be clumsily mended
with solder, or with pure tin If the piece
was to pass for a very ancient one. Chls--eled
metal was reproduced by casting and
"dubbing" over with the hammer, then
pickling, annealing and bending. In such
ways helmets, copper and brass casting for
antique furniture and the like were made.
Old lead work, such as the garden statues
once fashionable In England, was made by
beating the lead over a carving first made
In hard wocd. The sharp edges of the old
work would be Imitated by hammering at
random without much regard to accuracy,
and the copy would be pickled In diluted
sulphuric acid to give It a weather-beaten
appearance.

Without Drugs or the Knife
AH schools of medicine other than osteopathy

It Is the pride of the osteopathic physician to

opportunity to grow strong naturally, by means
of mechanical adjustment, thereby placing- tne
structures in their normal or correct position.

PERMANENCE!
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS OF VITAL M

Whether People Cured of Diseases at the Cope

or Whether the Relief Given Is
But Temporary.
The permanence of the cures performed
by Drs. Copeland and Montgomery in
their Immense practice in this eity Is a
question of the most vital Importance to
our people, and It musfbe most gratify
ing, not only to those physicians, but to
the Interested thousands who have been
watching the unparalleled lacrosse and
success of their practice that this fact
has been so firmly established. The un

became undoubted, indisputable and over

envious of success and genuine merit

Copeland and Montgomery were able to
accomplish what they claimed, and that
they succeeded when others less expe
rienced, schooled and careful failed. Aft
er, as has been said, this flood tide of
evidence nad established this fact beyond
dispute they contented themselves with
such cold comfort as this:
"Oh, yes; they understand how to take

A PERFECT CURE
Mr. E. A. Ruth, Brewster hotel,
Portland, a well-known steamboat man, !
having been engineer on the steamer
Hercules and other river craft for years.
Mr. Ruth relates a history of Intense suf
fering from severe bronchial trouble cov
ering a period of 12 years, and tells of his
marvelous cure by Drs. Copeland and
Montgomery after repeated failures by
other doctors, and after being told re
peatedly that his case was a hopelessly
incurable one:

In too strong language when I say that
they saved my life, for it Is as true as

'Three years nsro I was n complete
physical wreck. I had every symp

sweats and a terrible cough. Some
times I would cough until I raised

under treatment with Drs. Copeland and

A portion of the great public was in
fluenced for a tine by 1Mb. It Is human
nature to be suspicious. Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery wore content. There is
nothing so patient as a eonseloueness of
truth, and an innate knowledge that one
can substantiate all that has been claimed.
Ponneaood of this knowledge, Drs. Cope
land and Montgomery pursued the evn
tenor of their way, treating and curing
thousands of people paying no attention
to their detractors, but calm in a con
sciousness of their own rectitude, the pos.
session of superior knowledge and skill.
