An old and curious exhibition of

of the Philippine question.
Supposing that it is true, as inti

projwsals to use his influence for the
pacification of the islands and the
reconciliation of the natives under
our sovereignty; supposing that the

make our position in the Philippines
one to be approved upon grounds of
policy, justice or common sense.
Many believe that there is now a
great war pending in the Orient.
The possession of the Philippines
brings us that much nearer to the
scene of trouble, so that although
we should easily keep out of it, we
must be brought to realize the es
sential weakening of our position
among the nations by the possession
of territory so distant and so vulner
able A naval station, duly forti
fied and equipped, would have been
a source of offensive strength; a vast
and populous island empire invites
attack, and proves a source ot weak
ness, demanding fleets and armies
otherwise available for aggressive
service or home defense. The wise
Old World diplomats and statesmen
have reason to smile scornfully at
our boast of taking our place as a
"world power" thus illustrated by
the deliberate abandonment of our
natural and unique position as a
compact republic guarded by great
oceans, and pledged to an avoidance

A Somber F.aater.
NEW YOKK, April 8. It was a som

people straight from church to their
homes nor did it shine enough to draw, the
old time thrones to Fifth avenue. Every
time the rain stopped sprinkling the dust
blew in clouds, ami the wind blew nil the
time. Altogether it was the dreariest,
least interesting Easter in 20 years in
New Y'ork city. In Fifth avenue between
12:;l0 and 2 p. in. the crowd wasn't great.
Many a winter Sunday sees more people
abroad there. At no time during the day
was progress ditlicult. Society was ab

siiecialois present, including uiatiy tour

army; and they know that the as
surancesofa decreased Philippine
military and naval establishment fol
lowing the pacification of the islands
must depend upon circumstances
not entirely within our control, fcr
the balance of power is now a feat
ure of our Oriental relations.
The injustice of our position is
sufficiently measured by reference to
our own standard of national right
and wrong, as applied to the pop
ular basts of government, the prin
ciple of liberty and representive
government; and references to our
territorial rule of out-posts in the
wilderness are quite feeble in their
application to the swarming race' of
frihpmos organized for the govern
ment oftheir own corner oftheearth,
in their own way.
The common sense solution of the
situation is clearly as far as possible
from the uncommon spectacle of
American interference against lib
erty in Asia, where anything like
liberty has been long enough unknown.
The attitude of Aguinaldo and
the Filipinos need not affect in any
way the answer to these questions
The point is that the holding of
those islands must be a source of
weakness, both at home and abroad
a rank injustice to their people,
whether they are content or not, and
in the light of our history and our
professions, a rank absurdity. Kx.

bead and Unknown
Two your.g men, names unknown,
were struck by the Pennsylvania Rail
road main line express, knocked off
the high bridge at Coatesvule, at 5:10
Monday evening, and killed.
The young men were walking
across the bridge, which is 90 leet
hijzh, and stepped upon the south
track out of the way of a freight
engine and caboose on the north
tri.ck just as the express came onto
the bridge. Seeing that escape was
impossible, they clasped hands and
turned their backs to the oncoming
train.
One was knocked off the bridge
instantly and fell headforemost upon
a pile of pipes below. His skull was
crushed. The other appeared to have
been run over by the train, as he was
completely dismemberod and his body
cut nearly in two. They were thrown
20 ft et apart.
In the inside coat pocket of one of
the untortunates was found an open
envelope addressed, John Mouring,
Catawissa, Pa. It is believed that he
was eithar employed or resided in
that vicinity, as the letter had evi
dently been lifted by him from the
Catawissa postofiice.
Man. four Man!
He cannot put a puff round his
elbow when his sleeves wear through.
His friends would smile it he dis
guised a pair of frayed trousers with
graceful little shingle flounces.
He would likewise be guyed if he
sought to cover the ravage of a spark
from his cigar with an applique of even
the finest lace.
The poor thing must shave every
other day, at the outside, or pose as
an anarchist.
He has to content himself with
somber colorings, or to be. accused of
disturbing the peace.
He may not wearflowers or ribbons
in his hair, no matter how bald he
becomes.
His heirs would have a guardian
appointed should he take to lace
trimmed lingerie.
The feathers in his cap are as noth
ing from the decorative standpoint.
He may not take unto himself a
lace overskirt when his pearl trousers
become dingy.
He can't edge his coat sleeve with
a fall of lace to hide a scarred or
maimed hand.
A pink veil is out of the question,
no matter how muddy his complexion
may become.

Get Young People JntoreBted.
In almost any village the young
people could be enlisted in the work
of village improvement, and they could
give entertainments for the benefit o!
the society and thus real ze a good
sum, since everybody would feel in
dnty bound to patronize tnem.
We have not been ambitious to
make costly experiments in our village.
Instead, we have been satisfied to
make the most of possibilities in a
practical way. We have let compe
tent men, having good taste and good
judgment, plan the public work for us,
and we have been sensible enough not
to interfere with them or hamper them
with unwise and uncalled-for sugges
tions which we have insisted on having
adopted. Wherever and whenever
this is done there will be friction. We
have performed the work assigned us
by those whom we have chosen to
take the lead in an honest, hearty
fashion, glad to do it, because we felt
that it was of general as well as per
sonal benefit. It has stimulated and
strengthened our pride in the place
we live in. It has made us feel, as
never before, the mutuality of our in
terests. Eben E. Rexford, in April

Recently there have been several cases
of prominent men suddenly falling in
collapse just after eating a hearty meal.
These men have all been under treat
ment for gastric "trouble," and yet the
result shows tlmt the treatment they had
received had smothered the symptoms
but had uot retarded the progress of the
disease.
There Is a real danger in the use of
palliatives when there is disease of the
stomach and its allied organs of diges
tion and nutrition. The disease in such
cases goes on, while the distressing
symptoms alone are stopped. Presently,
iiKe a snioinereu
fire, the disease
breaks out in
new places, in
volving heart,
lungs, liver, kid
neys, or some
Other organ.
The use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discov
ery results in a
radical cure of
diseases of the
stomuch and oth
er oreans of di
gestion and nutrition. It cures diseases
of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., when
the disease of these organs has its origin
in the diseased condition of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive system.
"I will tell you what mytrlf and family think
of your medicine," write Mr. M. M. Wardwell,
of I.inwooU, Leavenworth Co., Kaimaa. "It
will do all you say, and more. I wm tak-t

The oue bottle nearly cured me. I sot two
bottles next time and took one and one-half

TJuique Indian Belies.
Some probably unique Indian relics
have found their way to the Historical
Society, the gift of Thomas M. Menscli
of Franklin township, Columbia coun
ty. There are eight stone implements
and they are supposed to have been
used for ceremonial purposes, as it is
difficult to imagine any practical use
to which they could have been put.
They are from 5 to 8 inches long, and
of dissimilar shape. They are approx
imately of the diameter of a person's
finger at the largest part and they
tiper to a dull point. Two of them
are very mucTi the size and shape of
an ordinary white chalk crayon used
in the schools, and one has a distinct

were handed to the Historical Society
by Charles E. Randall of Catawissa.

below Catawissa in a sand pit 30CJ
