Not Our Funeral. UNOFFICIAL expressions of opinion and sympathy con cerning the controversy between Knsland and tho Transvaal are Inevitable In a country where speech Is free; but the American penchant for attending to other pco ple'H business coe.s too far when It Keeks by petition and pressure to In volve the United States government In this remote row. Tho busybodles who arc asking Presi dent JIcKlnley to rush In between the two belligerents and order both to tako Instructions from him would bo tin first to strike colors and run should he follow their asinine advice and get this country Into trouble. Wo have ample support for this assertion In their conduct following the precipita tion of war with Spain. Until that war was begun they breathed blue lire twenty-four hours to the day; but tho minute American triumph brought with It unavoidable responsibility theso snorting lighters by deed of mouth put up the milk white Hag of unconditional surrender and howled like frightened children against expansion. England and the Boors should settle tluir own differences. They are tho ones Immediately concerned. If Dutch misgovernment forces tho hand of Urlt lsh discipline, that Is tho Poors' look out, not Uncle Sam's. The oppor tunity has been open to President Kru ger for fifteen years to accomplish a jupt and pacific settlement. Ho has neglected It; ho has emulated tho stu pidity of the defiant bull on tho rail road track, and If tho locomotive of modem progress has to tako a fall out of him It will soon bo over and tho track cleared for regular travel. In any event, It Is not our funeral. Aguinaldo may now bo expected to forward his offering to Coin Harvey's contribution box at once. Progress Toward Temperance. A DEMONSTRATION such as that of yesterday In behalf of temperance suggests the question whether tho con temporary progress of the temperance reform Is satisfactory. The reply will depend largely upon the point from which this subject Is viewed; extrem ists will doubtless give an emphatic answer in the negative; but upon tho whole wo think there Is good ground for encouragement and congratulation. Statistics might be cited to show that the traffic in Intoxicants Is still a most stupendous Industry, levying enormous tribute upon its victims and present ing, in the lower levels of society, an appalling spectacle in human suffer ing and degradation. On- tho other hand, It Is true that the character of the consumption of alcoholic bever ages In changing for tho better; that less gin, whisky and raw spirits Is being drunk than formerly and more light wines and beer. There may bs those who will not regard this modifi cation of thirst as a gain for temper ance, but If by temperanco wo moan what the word Itself means, namely, moderation. It Is a gain, and a decided gain, for sobriety. Hut apart from figures, which under Ingenious manipulation often deceive, there Is evidence, open to everybody's observation, In the Increasing emphasis which largo employers of labor nro everywhere placing upon temperanco on tho part of their employes; In tho growing ban of society upon maudlin over-indulgence; In the gradual les sening of tho number of Inebriated persons visible In public places nnd In the multiplying educational activities whl.h teach to tho young tho perils of Intemperance and thus increasingly dedicate moral Impulses aright. There Is a work yet to be dono In great abundance, very notably In thu more stringent nnd equltablo enforce ment of tho laws which aro supposed to restrict and safeguard tho liquor traffic; and church and school may well put on more steam to tho end that n public opinion may bo created which will inablo law-onforcoment to bj. come, not an, exception, but tho rule. Yet When this 1m said nothing Is said to warrant dlsoouragemont. Tho trend of events may be slow, but It Is un mistakably In tho right direction. Universal sympathy will probably not be extended to tho pleasure Back ers, in, Paris who were Injured by a mad bovlno that escaped from an in- closuro ntitl attacked the spectators who Imtl assembled to witness a gen uine bull fight. Peoplo who gather to witness the torture of dumb nnlmalsi usually deserve nil thnt th"y receive when tho worm turns. Our neighbor, the Times, -Mebrated yesterday the fourth anniversary of Its present management. Under Mr. Lynett's guidance the Times has pros pered rapidly and steadily and Is nowJ a newsier and more enterprising pub lication than ever before. Wo disagree with It on many points and frequently say so, but on anniversary occasions this should not Interfere) with offering to It tho compliments of tho season, Lieutenant Colonel Barnctt. I-'KW SKM2CTION8 from tho speech made by Lieutenant Colonel Harnett at Lebanon Monday upon the occasion of tho formal opening of tho Republi can campaign In Pennsylvania will give, better than any eulogy or discus sion, a Just Idea of tho kind of man tho Republican candidate for stato treasurer Is. We quote as follows: I give credit to my opponent for hav ing an honorable ambition and for living mi honest man. If, Iti order to t-uccuud, It be necessary to Indulge In vituperation and abuse couccrnlns him, und to wado through the lines of malignity and Blun der, then 1 do not want tho otllec. If elected, I shall endeavor to perform the duties of stato treasurer with fidelity, according to the provisions of the law, toward the whole proplo of the Stato of Pennsylvania. Our friends, tho opposltlon.como against us with manufactured Issues like a Chi nese army with banners and drngon.i held nlolt to terrify us, but onu gluglo round from tl.e Republican gun of pros perity on tho seventh of Not ember will scatter them like phantoms of tho night. The Republican party has done what the Democratic patty has never done redeemed its promises at their par value. It hns removed the despondency of labor and the hesitation of capital and brought them together In a unity of interest that shall last as long as the Republican prin ciples shall prevail. Tho American labor er receives American wages, and that means u homo where thrift and happiness dwell In contentment. Our factories nro busy, for they have a market for their products, not only in our own l.ind. but abroad, and amongst their employes tho farmer finds a market for his products en a cash basis. It Is a condition of pros perlty and not theory that surrounds us. The party that osks us to surrender this condition for a theory ir.ay well ho viewed with suspicion. On the subject of our new responsi bilities Colonel Harnett was clear and candid but not excited With respect to the Philippines ho slid: Our sovereignty over theso Islands Is recognized by every government on earth. We could not allow Spain to ro Humo her barbarous and cruel sway over theso Islands and at the same tlmo ban ish her from Cuba and Porto Rieo for that very barbarity and cruelty without giving tho lie to our professions. Wo could not turn them adrift and leave them a prey to ambitious and Jealous powers or to internal stiife and anarchy. It became the duty of the nation and It was so c:;tccted bv the administration to es tablish also for these oppressed peoples stable goernments. Our lawful authority In our lawfully acquired territory having been unlawfully attacked, it Is tho duty of tho administration, as It is doing, to speedily suppress the Insurrection and establish a ttlmnphant peace. It is tho duty of the nation on tho other hand to stand bv tho ndmhlstratlon until this fs accomplished, leaving the future of tho Islands, the ei tabllshment of a satisfac tory government, to the wisdom of con cress and the- discretion of the president and next president, William McKinley. The speech throughout was In tha dignified and statesmanlike timper no sarcams, no abuse, no playing to the galleries, but a manly, straightforward and cogent presentation of tho upper most Issues. Tho party Is fortunate in having such a standard-bearer. And so the Hon. William Fllnn. state senator from Allegheny and chief fu gleman of tho virtuous "Insurgents" of last session. Is now on tho rack charged with having borne the same relation ship toward Pittsburg city funds that Senator Quay was accused of having borne toward tho funds of tho state treasury. Fllnn says he paid tho money back. So did Quay. Hut what Fllnn does is different, of course, be cause it Is Fllnn that does it. Thirty Years of Growth. tp- HERE WERE some points In i'ostmaster General Smith's admirable address at the corner stone laying of Chi cago's new federal building on Satur day which, as reported in extenso in the Chicago papers, command more than passing attention. The occasion being well-nigh the thirtieth annivers ary of Chicago's memorable fire, Mr. Smith presented n few Illustrative fig ures to Indicate somo of tho forward strides which have been taken by the United States in tho Intervening three decades. First, lie cited tho matter of postal receipts. Thirty years ago, tho annual receipts of tho Chicago post office were only JC1S.S97. In the next ten years they doubled, and in another ten years they moro than doubled again. Last year they rose to $C,1C1,07, or ten times their volume thirty years ago. Chi cago has one-thlrty-soventh part of the population of tho United States, but It docs ono-llfteenth part measured In receipts of tho whole postal business of tho nation. In the nation nt large there has been iv corresponding ex pansion. In 1ST0 the total receipts of the postal service were $19,772,220. and Its total expenditures $23.!3S,837. "This year," said tho postmaster general, "wo shall spend $103,000,000, and our re ceipts will bo $99,000,000. While our population, not counting the new pos sessions, has doubled, tho postal busi ness has multiplied nearly fivefold." Passing thonco to other realms, Mr. Smith gave figures telling an equally fabulous story. "Slnco 1S70," said he, "tho distributed wealth of tho country has increased from $27,000,000,000 to over $80,000,000,000. This unexampled gain Js widely diffused. Tho savings hanks furnish a direct test. Tho num ber of their deposltois has grown from 1,000,000 to moro than 6,000,000 and tho nsgregato of deposits from $;so,000,000 to over $2,000,000,000. Where could you find more conclusive testimony that the average thrift of tho people has shared In the advancement of prosperity and accumulation? Within thirty years tho annual volume of our manufactur ers has expanded from $3,700,000,000 In value to nearly $12,000,000,000, and with this unparalleled development wo man , ufacturo more than one-third of all A that Is mado In tho world. This as tonishing growth of Industrial produc tion, which must find outlets for Its surplus, has Inevitably brought an ex pansion of foreign trade, and our com merce, which has especially moved with leaps nnd bounds during tho past two years, has within the period under consideration ndvnnccd from $S2S,000, 000 to nearly $2,000,000,000. There Is an other and moro striktn; fUei. The actual earnings of tho nation In this year of prosperity, security, and confi dence nro equal to one-half its entire accumulated wealth In 1870 that Is, to ono-half of all that It had saved dur ing tho previous eighty-one years of Its constitutional existence. And, what Is still better, of this stupendous amount of yearly Income moro than one-halt Is tho earnings, or wages of labor." Hut of the future, what? "Is It ex pected," the speaker asked, "that the matvelous development which lias come with tho wonderful material ap pliances and forces of tho past thrco decades will now pause and stan.l still? Aro wo henceforth to mark time Instead of marching forward? Has our Incomparable Industrial produc tion reached Its limit? Is our grow ing commerce to halt on tho frontlets of Its old domain? Is the opening door of wider fields nnd enlarged ac tivity within the broken walls of tho Orient to bo unrecognized and unused? American valor and heroism have never touched subllmer heights or shed brighter lustre on tho American name than during tho past two years. Aro tho genius of American progress and the fibre of American purpose un equal to the achievements of Its hero Ism?" Let us hear his own eloquent reply: "Tho flag iloats today over a domnln ten times as great as that upon which Its shining stars first shed their Joy ous beams. Its beneficent rulo has been extended from time to tlmu over vast new acquisitions, but It has never broadened Its sway without carrying freedom, progress and enlightenment to tho fortunate peoples who were brought under its protecting folds. It Is the same Hag today that it has al ways been, 'hut with added lustre and higher renown nnd a far deeper re spect throughout tho world. It lias the same Import nnd tho same virtue. It signifies everywhere light, law, Jus tice and self-government within tho limits of national sovereignty. What citizen of tho Republic shall so Im pugn tho honor of his country and tho integrity of her institutions as to pro claim before the world that her scepter extended over rude and remote peoples means wrong and oppression and spoliation? What American shall so discredit his own blood as to declare that tho American peoplo will either falter In the duty of their trust or fall In tho capacity for their task?" To this broad challenge let the Dem ocratic party give answer If It daro! It Is noticeable that the sympathetic citizens who would like to have Presi dent McKinley Interfere In tho Trans vaal affair belong almost entirely to the clnss that would rejoice at any ca lamity that would have tho effect of bringing the present Republican ad ministration Into disrepute among the nations of tho earth. We think tho Times does Its readers an injustice when it claims them as converts to its new programme of sym pathy with rebels against American authority. The larger its circulation, tho greater its offense In ndvocatlng an Insurrection which our soldiers and sailors are shedding good American blood to put down. . Tho fact that Filipino Insurgents have been fighting within four miles of tho heart of the ily of Manila leads to tho suspicion that tho Filipinos reported by General Otis as being "on the run" may have been running toward Manila. m If it were not for tho efforts of Colo nel Hryan, the Democracy might bo summed up by some of the yacht race bulletins that announce: "Dense fog no wind." m Edward Atkinson's dyspeptic condl tlon may bo explained by tho announce ment that he was once a demonstrator of oil stovo cookery. HUMAN NATURE STUDIES Poet IUley's Joke. James "tt'hltconib Klloy and Nye were a peculiar pair. They were everlasting ly playing practical jokes. I remember when wo were riding1 to gether In the smoking compartment between Columbus and Cincinnati. Mr. JCyo was a great smoker, and Jlr. Hlloy did not dislike tobacco. An old farmer camo over to Mr. Xyo and said: "Aro you Mr. Klley? I heard you was on tho train." "No, I am not Mr. Itlley. Ho Is over there." "I know his father, and I would like to tweak with hlni." "Oh, speak with hint, yes. But he l.i deaf, and you want to speak loud." Ho the farmer went over to him and said In a loud voice: "Is this Mr. Klley?" "Ur, what?" "Ih" this Mr. Klley?" "What did you say?" "Is this Mr. Klley?" "Klley, yes." "I knev your father." "No bother." "I know your father.- "What?" "I know your father." "Oh, so did I." And In n few moments the farmer heard him talking In nn ordinary tone of voice. Saturday Evening Post. An Amplo Reason. Tho following story Is told of a crafty lawyer, subtle as a fox, who lived In Halifax: An Indian of tho Miami tribe, named Simon, owod him somo money. The lawyer had waltod long. His patience ut last gavo out, and ho threatened the Indian with lawsuit, process and exe cution. The poor red man got scared nnd brought the money to his creditor. The Indlnn waited, expecting tho law yer would write a receipt. "What aro you waiting for?" nsked tho lawyer. "Kecolpt," said tho In dian. "A jvcclpt?" said tlw lawyur. "A receipt? Can you understand the naturo of a receipt? Tell mo tho use of ono nnd I will give It to you." Tho Indiun looked ut him for a mo- ment nnd then replied. "S'pose maybe mo die: me go to heben; me find tho gate locked; mo see tho 'postle Peter; ho Bay, "Simon, what you want? 'ino say, 'Want to get In".' He say, 'you pay Mr. J lut money? What mo do? Mo hah no receipt. Hab to hunt nil ober tho other place to find you." He got a receipt. Evolution of a Snake. Ozark humor, according to tho St. Louis OIobc-Domocrnt, appreciates the story that a scientist was quite amazed tho other day at observing n farmer, nftcr killing a nest of snakes turned up by the plow, arrange the dead snakes In the furrow before ho went back to the plow. "Why do vott do that, mv good man?" tho scientist asked. The farmer looked curiously at the scientist, and, seeing that ho was really In search of Information, replied: "I did that so tho plow will cover the snakes on tho next round." Seeing that the scientist was still mystified, the farmer continued: "I cover the snakes so that they will decompose. That Is what you call It, Isn't It?" "Yes" said tho scientist, with a ris ing inllectlon. "Well," continued the farmer, "the decomposition of animal matter fur nishes nourishment for plant life, I be lieve?" "Yes," again said the scientist. "Then, snakes will mnko corn grow, won't they?" triumphantly asked the farmer. "Yes," said the scientist. "And moro corn will make more whisky, won't it?" said the farmer. "Yes," said tho scientist. "And whisky will make moro snakes, won't it? Mister, that is what wo call rotation In tho agriculture of this re gion," Made His Bed. On returning front tho barn early one morning the old man found his wife In tears. "Wha'oher cryin' about, Mellssy?" Ire Inquired. " 'Nother one uv our darters was stole las' night." she sobbed. "The red-headed uu?" ho asked, la conically. "Yes pore Mag she was the best gal " "Rob Scuttles?" "I'v course, hasn't been no other fel ler wnltln' on her. Ain't you goln' to pursue after 'em an" arrest 'im?" "Uv course not," he replied, sternly. "Im not under obligations to help Hob Scuttles out uv no dlill'-ulty. Let him go ahead and work out his sentence, same's I've been a-doln' for tho las' forty year." Truth. Spanish Chateaux.

Roberts, the poet, rends the modern languages very easily, but speaks them imperfectly. At a reception held In New York just prior to his leaving for Europe, Roberts was Introduced to a distinguished French artist, who was here on a visit. The artist asked In his own tongue: "You speak French?" "No," answered the poet; "I am sorry I do not. but I understand It well when it Is spoken to me." "I am so glad," replied the French man; "you aro tho audience I have long wanted. I can talk to you all I please and you cannot talk back!" "Coming and Going." Carl Haeuser, the German humorist of New York, says that ho mot a friend one day who looked very prosperous, although a few months before he had been quite shabby, "You are doing well now?" asked Haeuser. "Making money," was tho response, "selling the only genuine indelible Ink In the market." "How's your ljrother?" "Doing finely with an Ink eradlcator which takes out my Ink Instantan eously."
