By the death of Bismarck, the great
German statesman, which occurred a
few days ago, the German empire has
lost the greatest man it ever had.
Nearly all the greatness that Germany

Arrioxse Karr says, “Every man
has three characters, that which he ex-
hibits, that which he has, that which he
thinks he has.” English bluntness puts
it in the phrase of the three Johns,
John’s John, other people’s John and
the real John. How about the fourth
John, when he transformed into a demi-
john? our temperance friends perti-
nently inquire.
Ir Spain does’ ts soon n send General
Weyler to invade the United States,
she may as well giver up the fight.
Spanish newspapers have been publish-
ing accounts of their smashing the At-
lantic coast cities of the United States
with their formidable war ships, but
just why they do not send Weyler with
an invading army to complete the job,
the Spanish papers do not state.

THE express companies are working
a “bluff” on their customers. The law
requires a one-cent stamp on each re-
ceipt to the shipper. If the shipper
pays the demand of the company it is
his own fault. If the shipper refuses
to pay the tax the companies will be
compelled to do so or be liable to a fine
of $50 or imprisonment. The express
companies cannot refuse to carry your
goods, because they are common car-
riers. Neither can the telegraph com-
panies refuse to send your telegram,
and they are not courting damage
suits. Both express and telegraph
companies are trying to scare the pub-
lic into paying the war tax which the
law says they shall pay.
THERE is a great deal of disgusting
slobber and willful lying, these days,
in some of the Quay organs, in behalf
of what those slimy subsidized sheets
term “tried and true leaders.” We re-
gret to say that some of “these tried
and true leaders” have never been true
to the people in their lives, and there
is no use in trying to deny it. An hon-
est editor will not attempt to deny
this; but a dishonest, unprincipled
hypocrite that can be bought for a
price, of course will. Some of these
leaders have been tried, it is true, and
it is also true that if some of them had
their just dues they would be tried in a
different way and sent to penitentiary.
While we believe that the government
of Pennsylvania is safer in the hands
of the Republican party than in the
hands of any other party, yet we are
not ready to admit that such is the case
through anything that some of these
so-called “tried and true leaders” have
done. Were it not for the great num-
ber of good men in the Republican
party to offset the blighting effect of
Quayism, the Republican party would
be a disgrace to the commonwealth
and to the nation.
THE WAR PRACTICALLY OVER.
The U. 8. government has unofficial
advices that the enemy has succumbed
and that Spain has accepted our terms
of peace. Latest reports are that noth-
ing but matters of detail now delay the
conclusion of the war. Sagasta, it is
said, will ask for a modification of some
of the conditions laid down by Presi-
dent McKinley. The preliminaries may
be signed by Saturday, but the treaty
is not expected to be completed before
September. Censorship hinders more
being made known than that péace is
assured. Spain must relinquish Cuba
and cede all other possessions in the
West Indies. She must also give up
one of the Ladrone Islands and permit
the occupation of Manila, according to
latest advices, and the final disposition
of the Philippines is to be determined
in the treaty of peace that will be ar-
Spain’s official reply has not been re-
ceived, President McKinley has shown
no disposition to abate any of the con-
ditions.
Alarm is felt as to the possibility ef a
conflict with the Philippine insurgents.
General Merritt is likely to be strongly
reinforced by troops from the eastern
camps.
The conquest of Porto Rico promises
to be nearly bloodless.
It is believed that our government
will assume the claims for damage to
American property in Cuba.
A Kansas Fable.
A Kansas female horse who was the
mother of a mule colt, watched over
her offspring with care and solicitude,
hoping that it would finally develop in-
to the likeness of her family; but one
day when the colt was getting well
grown, it turned loose a Jud bray,
whereupon the mother exclaimed sad-
ly: “Alas, this is the result of fusion.
I thought I could raise you for a horse,
but whenever you open your mouth
you speak like an ass.”
Moral: Beware of fusion with the
Populist party, for fusion with that
party makes an asslike combination
every time.
“Are You On the Lord’ s Side?”
The above question is asked by Rev.
M. L. Weaver, in his paper, the Johns-
town Theocrat. Rev. Weaver believes
there is room for lots of missionary
work in the churches as well as out-
side of them,and being a minister of the
Gospel for years, he ought to know. In
his last
Weaver has the following to say for the
good of religion, and believing his re-
marks timely and well chosen, we will
here produce them:
“The question is not, Are you a
church member? But are you on the
Lord’s side? There are many church
strength, for during the summer sea-
issue of the Zheocrat, Rev. |
members, and also pranchers who will
be turned into hell with all the nations
that forget God, because they professed
to love God but neglected to obey Him.
It is undoubtedly true that the
church languishing. Worldliness
has crept in, and is creeping in more
and more, and spirituality is dying out.
Jesus Christ is being crucified in the
house of his professed followers.
The attendance at the preaching ser-
vice is falling off ; our Sabbath schools
are growing smaller, and there is
scarcely a corporal’s guard at the pray-
er and testimony meetings. During
the month of August the devil will have
things.pretty much his own way, as the
pastors will leave their flocks and go
off on their vacations. Some will go
fishing for fish, and others will fish for
other pleasures and recreations. The
wolves will be busy while the shepherds
are absent, and the flocks will be pret-
ty well scattered until the shepherds
return.
0, church of God, awake! put on thy
is
son the devil, if possible, is more active
than ever.
If Christ should come in the sum-
mer time, who would be ready to greet
Him?
Let the faithful saints of God put
forth special efforts during August to
keep up interest in the work of the
Lord.”
Spurious Honor.
Pittsburg Times.
Never was a more ridiculous spectacle |
on a gigantic scale than the fuss that |
Spain has made in behalf of the imag- |
inary virtue the Spaniard calls honor.
Honor to the American mind is a sim-
ple attribute, easily understood, and |
one that does not need to be talked |
about a great deal nor vaunted in the!
public places. Honor is a modest quali- |
ty. It readily becomes known without
much pyrotechnical allusion to it. The
history of Spain has been one written |
in infamy, and genuine honor has been
almost a stranger in the empire. No |
country can boast of its honor when its |
annals include such atrocities as the |
story of the Peruvians, the starving of
the Cuban non-combatants, and all the
other narrative that fills the gap be-
tween. What Spain calls honor is an
arrogant and conceited insolence. No
country can lay claim to honor when
the starved women and children of
Cuba appear in evidence. Kor three
months the silly dolts have been fight-
ing an impossible war against the Uni-
ted States in defense of that alleged
honor, and now they profess that it
is about satisfied,
|
|
If Spain really meant to appear in an
honorable light before the world she |
would attempt to make redress in the
provinces she yet holds, and to deal
fairly with her own people at home.
But she is as cruel yet as ever, where
she has the authority, and the govern-
ment at Madrid is one of lies and du-
plicity, deceiving the empire as to the
status of the war. and bragging of vie-
tories that were never won to people
who know better, in the hope of win-
ning sympathy in her war. Spain, as a
nation never had any honor, and has
none now. She made a foolish
fight for a will-o’-the-wisp, and having
chased it. professes to be satisfied. And
that such a war as she has taken part
satisfies her honor shows farther the
quality of the honor.

War Dogs in the German Army.
Chicago Chronicle.
Sach company therein has a collie or
dog of similar breed trained to find
wounded soldiers on the field and con-
vey intelligence of their whereabouts
to the hospital corps. The dog carries
a metallic case attached to his neck,
containing a pad and pencil,brandy and
other restoratives. If the soldier be
not too severely wounded he writes his
name on the paper, which is returned
to the case. The dog hastens for help,
and he who might have been lost to his
comrades is rescued.
What the True Man Is.
Sam Jones.
The place to take the true measure
of a man is not in the market place
nor amen corner, nor in the field or
forum, but at his own fireside. There
he lays aside his mask, and you may
learn whether he is an imp or an angel,
king or eur, hero or humbug. Ido not
care a copper what the world says of
him, whether it crowns him with glory
or pelts him with bad eggs: Tcare not
what his religion may be. If his babies
dread his coming home. and his better
half swallows her heart every time she
has to ask him for a five-dollar bill,
he is a fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night and morning un-
til he is black in the face and shouts
hallelujah until he shakes the eternal
sunshine illuminates the face of his
wife when she hears his footsteps, you
can take it for granted that he is pure
gold—his home is a heaven, and the
humbug never gets that near the
throne of God. lle may be a rank
atheist, a red-flag anarchist, a Mormon
and a mugwump; he may buy votes or
bet on elections; he may deal from the
bottom and drink beer until he can’t
| tell a silver dollar from a circular saw,
and still he is infinitely better than the
man that is all suavity, but who makes
home a hell, who vents on the head of
his helpless wife and children the ill
nature he would like to inflict on his
fellow men, but_dare not. I can for-
give much in that fellow mortal who
had rather make men swear than wo-
men weep, would rather have the hate
of the world than the contempt of his
wife, who had rather call anger to the
face of a king than fear to the face of a
child.
