'p COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. Vf BEVERIDGEAND HOAR Senate Listens to Eloquence on Philippine Question. BOY SENATOR OF INDIANA IMPRESSIVE Senator From MnxmrhmrMii Sars Oonrt., School", Churrhrs, Pence and Order Were MnliMnlnrd toy the Filipino. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. "Tlint mnn little knows the rominnii people of the re public, little niidrrstntida the iiiNtim'ts ot our race, who thinks we will not hold it (the Philippine nrcliipoliiKo) fust nnd hold It forever, administering just government by simplest methods." This sentence wan the keynote of the speech delivered In the senute yesterday by Mr. Heverld(,'e, the junior senator from Indiana. It was the maiden speech in the senute of nlwmt the youtiKest member of the lKdy. The announcement that ho would deliver an address embodying bis observations in the Philippines attracted an unusually large number of auditors to the galleries. On the floor of the sen ate every member in the city wus in his cat, nnd scores of representatives ennio over from the house. The occasion was inspiring, and Mr. Beveridge rose to it brilliantly. His oration for properly it was an oration was deeply interesting. It was replete with striking sentences nnd well arranged information. He spoke with nil the earnestness, vigor nnd elo quence of a tine orator enthusiastic in big ubject, who rose nt times to his subject with the power of passionate dramatic utterance. The speech created n pro found impression upon all who heard it. Mr. Hevcridge is scholarly and refined in nppeurauce, with a Mi iking face and figure. Throughout his speech he was? easy and unturnl and entirely free from maunerisms. He spoke? rapidly nnd with great earnestness. AYlieti he declared Kith deep solemnity to those "whose Voices in America have cheered those misguided natives on to shoot our soldiers down that the blood of those dead uud wounded boys of ours is on their hands, and the Hood of years can never wash that stain away," there was a deep ul though suppressed sensation unions his auditors. At the conclusion of the speech tre mendous and unrestrained applause swept over the galleries, aud it was notuble that Secretary of the Treasury t!age, who oc cupied a seat in the senators' gallery, was a participant in it. Mr. Hoar (Republican of Massachu setts) replied briefly to Mr. Beveridge. Although he did not enter fully into the merits of the question under discussion, be did not feel that some of the Indi ana senator's statements ought to go to the country unchallenged. He declared that not the American opposition to the war, but the president's proclamation to the Filipinos, was responsible for the hos tilities. He ridiculed Mr. Beveridge's statement that the Filipinos were in capable of self government nnd quoted General Otis' reports to show thut they were. He thought it would be necessary to ro Tise the constitution before those Filipi nos could be bought aud sold. lie did net believe Mr. Beveridge would advise the American people to do this thing or to do anything so base as to strike down the infant Filipino republic. The Massachusetts senator made fre quent references to and quotations from the reports of General Otis and Admiral 5ewey and other officers in the Philip pines. These showed thut when Aguinul do arrived in Luzon from Hongkong the insurgents had an army ,of HO.OIM), in the island of Luzon the Filipinos maintained courts, schools, municipal governments and churches and that pence nnd order prevailed pretty generally. Spanish pris oners were kiadly treated. "This," de clared Mr. Hoar, "is the condition of things which it is proposed to crush un der our heels. And thut," he commented, "you call glory." Mr. Hoar declared that practically ev ery statement of fuct in the speech was refuted by government reports received from Admiral Dewey, General Olis and from other official sources. Where did Spain get the right to sell her rights in the Philippines? Mr. Hoar asked. Where did the United States get the right to bay and sell people like sheep? He wus certain that for alt the wealth and com merce aud glory which he had eloquently depicted the senator from Indiana would not have a great Injustice done. The Purchase of Bonds, WASHINGTON, Jun. 9.-A statement prepared at the treasury department shows that the bonds purchased under the offer of the secretary of Nov. 15, 18!)!), amounted to $19,300,050, as follows: Four per cent consols of 1!K)7, coupons, $1, 022,700; registered, $13,287,050; 5 per cent loan of 1004, coupons, $001,200; reg Istered, $3,900,100. The interest antici pated amounted to $97,715 and the prem ium paid $2,373,502, making a total ex penditure of $21,771,807. Bis; Deal la Coal Land. UNIONTOWN, Pa., Jan. O.-Auother big sale of coking coul lands in southern Fayette county was closed here on Satur day by which the Republic Coke compa ny of Pittsburg bought 2,400 acres for $540,585.40.

RIPLEY, Tenn., Jan. 10. Marvin Turner and W. I. Turner, officers, ar rested a desperate negro named Gingerly five miles north of here and were escort ing him to the Uipley jail when two ne groes, brothers of the prisoner, shot both officers in the back, killing them.

I would hate to sco McKinley de feated because of his foreign policy. I fear that he will be. This policy can not be unstained In morals, nnd la In contravention to tbe declaration of in dependence and the teachings of the brave men who signed that document. John Sherman. Roberts has as clear a rlcht ns hnd General Henderson, who wnB chojen speaker, to take the oath aa a repre sentative and to take his neat. From there he could be dislodged nnd cast out by a majority of two-thirds, ac cording to the federarconstltution, nnd in no other way could the constitution be satisfied. It Is very dangerous busi ness, nnd a very demeaning business, for one of the bouses of congress to destroy or even to bend under the in fluence of popular clamor the constitu tional protection of the rlchts of rep resentation. New York Sun (Rep.). A nation, nominally Christian, pro fessing to accept a divinely appointed mission to a benighted nation beyond tbe seas, nnd assuming that It has providentially been called to be the guardian of a pecile Incapable of de veloping its own Christian civilisation, uses, aa its missionaries, beer and bul lets, not Bibles. The Christian church utters but feeble, if any, protest, and ! appears to be blind except to visions ' of military nnd political glory. My : protest may be without force, but I j place It on record. May God save our nation from itself, its own worst enemy. Henry B. Metcalf. ' Consul Oscar F. Williams, who has recently returned from the Philippines, pav the savage Filipinos this tribute: "The domestic life of the Filipinos is kind, hnppy and peaceful. They are simple In their ways and their fur niture Is monger, but tbe men and wo men are affectionate nnd fnlthful, and they are cleanly in their habits per sonally, and In their homes. I have never been betrnyed or chented by he Filipinos since I have been there." He also says; "They have grown, out of their ignorance, to fear every white man, no mutter what their national ity." Springfield Republican. Mr. Roberts, the representative of TTtah polygamy, will probably not get the seat In congress to which he was elected, but the Memphis Commercial Appeal points out that he might "seek an islnnd. become Bultnn of something, and ask for an increase of salary." i There Is a profound silence on the part of most of the machine newspa pers of the state regarding the expos tires of ballot box stuffing In this city. These crimes aro so widely regarded as a pnrt of the machine system of politics that the Quay organs must keep quiet about them. Philadelphia Press. Though the Spanish war was but a skirmish, aa compared with the civil war, it has been thought necessary to raise almost as much revenue, and the expenditures for ouf military opera tions exceeded those of the early years of the civil war, threatening to last for years. There Is no probable rolief from war taxes, and if greater economy is not enforced either a new issue of bonds or higher taxation will be nec essary before the end of the McKin ley administration. The economic waste of war is one of its most marked features. Commercial prosperity may lead the people to submit for a time without protest, but In the end the cost of imperialism and militarism will im press itself upon the masses of the people, who are the chief sufferers, since most of the rich corporations es cape the payment of the war taxes by shifting the burden to their patrons, who can only protest and pay. Buffalo Courier. The English have held the enemy too cheap. They are not fighting Bavages in breech clouts. They are invading the country of a civilized people, who will never be conquered until they are crushed by tn overwhelming force. The Boers are battling for their homes, for personal freedom, for relief from the tyrannous exactions of an alien country. It ia a fight to the death with them, not a service for hire. Every man and boy in the ranks has the in spiration of doing his duty, with the godspeed of wife and mother to strengthen his courage. It will be no easy task to whip such a foe. No won der that the sympathy of the world should go out to this handful of brave people, and that every British defeat Is welcomed as a proper visitation. Kruger has said that "the price would stagger humanity," and England is be ing brought to the sorrowful realiza tion that she must pay her share. Philadelphia North American. On what grounds is Roberts to be excluded from the house of representa tives of the United States? Has be not "attained to tbe age of 25 years?" Has he not "been seven years a citizen of the United States?" Is he not an in habitant of that Btate from which he was chosen? Was he not legally chosen in a legally conducted election? The answers to all these questions as to the constitutional requirements must be in the affirmative. Then the pro posal to refuse him his Boat is a pro posal to defy the constitution of the United States, to refuse their political rights to the people of Utah. This is a serious matter. No matter how worthy the people who advocate such a proposal, no matter how irreproach able their moral character, the nature of this proposal is not changed. It ia. looked at in Its most favorable light, a proposal to do evil that good may come, and the evil is a violation not only of the fundamental law ordained by the people of the United States, but also a violation of a fundamental prin ciple upon which our liberties rest the principle of representative gov ernment. For such an assault there could be no justification. New York world. Ha Mistakes theEflect lor the Cause."

Dr. Watson ("Ian Mac'.aren")makes a fine beginning of his "Lite of the Master" in McClure's .Magazine for January with chapters covering the period of youth and childhood. His metho 1 is to make full and coherent record of the outer, material facts, but at the sime time to make plain all of ihe inner, spiritual significance : and the result is a presentation interesting as pure narrative and yet of high poetic and devotional quality. The same aim appears also in Mr. C. K. Linson's pictures. Of these there are eight beautiful full page pictures in color a feat in color reproduction be yond anything previous' attempted in magazine work and a number of smaller, but scarcely less beautiful, pictures in black and white. Mark Twain contributes a sketch in which he professedly betrays the confidence of V. D. Howells, Cable, Stockton, Aidrich, and other brother authors, by telling us what has been the abiding (and, of course, unreal ized) ambition of each. Howell's life disappointment, for example, is that he could not be an auctioneer. Mark consolingly adds a poem dedicated to these heart-stricken brethren a poem it is safe to say, such as only Mark Twain himself could write. Other interesting contributions are Governor Boutwell's recollections of lilaine and Conkling and their rivalry in the Republican national convention ofiSSoan account of the way in which an artificial heat of nearly 4000 degrees is now generated and govern ed to daily service in an American factory; a popular explanation, by Truf. Simon Newcomb,of how astrono mers weigh the planets ; and Lieuten ant Peary's account of his last year's work in the Arctic, especially of his two visits to Greely's deserted house at Fort Conger and what he found there. The Rev. C. T. Brady retells, part ly from new material, the heroic story ot Truxton and the United States fri gate "Constellation" and their great victories over the French ; Ray Stan nard Baket tells a thrilling true story of the Secret Service : Booth Tarking- ton, the author of "The Gentleman from Indiana," concludes his absorb ing novelette, "Monsieur Beaucaire ;" and there are a number of good short stories.

A Touching Episodo which Created Somo Excitement .Yesterday. A four year old boy lost upon the street caused considerable excitement for a couple of hours, yesterday. Shortly alter noon the little fellow, well and comfortably dressed, was found by Miss Margaret Cole 011 Mill strtct, near her father's store. He was unaccompanied by anyone and it wai plainly to be seen that he was lost. He, however,' seemed perfectly con tented, interested in what he saw about him, evidently not realizing what it meant to be lost. Mere tot that he was, he was re markably bright, and answered all questions readily. His name was Willie Leiby, he said, and he lived in Bloomsburg. This made it very dif ficult to locate his parents and soon a large proportion ot the population of the Third Ward was interested in the little fellow's welfare. Meanwhile, he had been given into the hands of Chief Mincemoyer, who telephoned to Bloomsburg, but could learn nothing as to the child. Shortly after 3 o'clock, as Chief Mincemoyer was making his rounds, when near Cedar street, he met three frantic women. One of them was a mother who had lost a boy and they appealed to the chief for assistance in hunting for the child. The chief told them that he had a boy at h:s house who did not belong to him, and a few words sufficed to reveal the fact that the object of their search and the lit tle boy found on Mill street was one and the same. His father's name is Harry Leiby, who resides near the jail. The family removed to this plate from Bloomsburg during the last sev eral months. The little fellow had been lost since half past ten o'clock in the morning. Danville News, Saturday. t The Cure that Cures "t Oourehs. , ( Colds, Grippe, WHOOPING COUGH. ASTHMA.
