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.

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

"The red-headed uu?" ho asked, la
conically.
"Yes pore Mag she was the best

"Rob Scuttles?"
"I'v course, hasn't been no other fel

The Audience He Wanted.
Professor Charles CJ. D. 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?"
