Deceiving Englishmen.
From Philadelphia North American.
The National Review , of London, has i
discovered why it is that the American
people so generally sympathize witli
their little sister republics of South
Africa. It says:
The pro-Boer craze has unquestion
ably been imported into the United
States by Irish Papists, who take their
cue from Dublin and Rome, and by
German Jews, who look to Berlin for
their political orders.
The Natwnal[Revieio is a sober maga
zine that circulates among the well-to
do classes. When such a publication
supplies its readers witli the kind of in
formation quoted respecting American
sentiment it is not surprising that the
masses, who get their news and views
from less respectable sources, should be
grotesquely misled as to the state of
public opinion in the United States. .
When Americans have ceased to be
lieve in the principles of the Declaration
of Independence and have forgotten the
history of their own country, they will
look with approval at the attempt of a
great monarchy to stamp out of exist
ence two small republics, and not till
then. "The pro-Boer craze" exists in the
United States because England has
turned her back upon all that is best in
her traditions and is making war upon a
free people who are fighting for what |
any Englishman would light for in their
place.
England is wrong, wrong beyond pos
sibility of reasonable defense, in her
treatment of the Transvaal republic.
She had no more right to interfere with
its internal affairs than she would have
to interfere with ours. By persistence
in an interference clearly denied to her
by treaty, she disclosed the intention,
which she now avows, to destroy the
independence republic, and so
forced this wicked war in the intorest
of exploiting mining millionaires.
Americans sympathize with the Boers
because they hate tyranny, love liberty,
and instinctively side with the weak
who are right against tlie strong who
are wrong. "Irish Papists" and "Ger
man Jews" and all other raon who are
animated by these just and generous
sentiments, have an incomparable better
standing in American esteem than
Tories, whatever their nationality, who
side with England in a war that shocks
the moral sense of mankind.
Democratic chances continue to
brighten. The Republicans grow more
and more hopelessly divided as the days
go by. By coming out boldly for im
perialistic government of I'orto Rico,
they have stripped off the mask of "ex
pansion" with whieh they concealed
their true policy and the people can now
choose witli knowledge. There can bo
little doubt how they will decide when
the issue is put plainly before them.

The Ouention Before the I'eople.
| From Philadelphia City and State.
! The action of the congress and of the
: president of the United States when
armed interference with Spanish tyran
ny in the island of Cuba had been de
termined upon was honorable, just, and
fully in harmony with the spirit of the
American people and with their great
traditions. The resolutions adopted
j by congress and signed by the president,
April 10, 1808, wero:
First, that the people of the island of
Cuba are and of right ought to be free
and independent,
j This was our position regarding Cuba,
; concisely stated. It is just such a re
j cognition of the inherent political rights
| of the Cubans as the theory of our con
! stitution and our declaration under the
{ circumstances required us to make.
But who can explain to us why no such
declaration was made touching the
| Filipinos when wo undertook to break
| Spanish power in the Philippines?
' Making this declaration in regard to
Cuba did not mean that we were obliged
instantly to hand over the affairs of the
island to the care of its peoplo, but it
did bind us to the acknowledgement of
their right, ultimately to be enjoyed,
of exercising that function if they so
desired. All intermediate care exercised
by us for them, whether military or
civil in its nature, was but the preface
to their enjoyment of the full right of
sovereignity.
The failure of tiie president to make
any similar declaration to the people of
the Philippines or to suggest the same
to congress is a striking discrepancy in
policy that needs to be explained. The
people of the Philippines had long
struggled against Spain. They were
encouraged by Admiral Dewey and by
E. Spencer Pratt and other representa
tives of our government to renew that
strugglo, with both the expressed and
implied assurance that they would re
ceive the same generous treatment we
had accorded the Cubans—the gift of
political liberty. Even if we did not
think it possible to let them have the
possession of that gift instantly, we
should have assured them of their right
to have it ultimately.
But wo. did not do this. On the con
trary, we bought from their oppressors
the allogod right to rule them at a
! moment when they, encouraged by us
and after having co-operated with us,
j had deprived the Spaniards of posses-
I sion of their territory. At this very
; moment the Filipinos had their provi
j sional government extending peacefully
and successfully over the island of
Luzon. Much stronger reasons existed
| in the nature of their case for our ac
! knowledgment of their rights to liberty
than in that of the Cubans. In Dewey's
i ! celebrated despatch to Washington,
June 27, 1898, lie states the fact that
i Aguitialdo and his leaders are forming
a civil government, and in conclusion !
lie says:
In my opinion these people are far
, superior in their Intelligence and are
more capable of self-government than
the natives of Cuba, and I am familiar
with both races.
These two statements, taken in their
natural conjunction, show plainly what 1
Admiral Dowcy's opinion on this point
was at that time. What is the fair
explanation of this tremendous change
in Mr. McKinley's attitude, a change
, whieh fair-minded men can scarcely cred
, it until a close study of the facts has
forced them to it —a change from the
fullest recognition of those inherent
political rights asserted by the Dec
claration to the most flagrant and
I merciless denial of them? With the
, voice of Washington and Lincoln he
, speaks to Cuba, but with the voice of
i Denby to the Filipinos.
In the I'llili ppino case the Denby
. ! policy is the controlling one. We will
, take and keep these people If it pays us
; do so,"just as the nations of Europe do;
| or if not, let them go to cutting their
own throats or playing what pranks
they please. So spoke Colonel Denby.
Such is the situation. But the question
is stillopen for the American people'to
decide: Shall we endorse the Denby
policy, with its brutality, its violation of
secret obligations and of American idea,
and favor materialism? orjshall we save
our stained honor, saying to the Philip
pines what wo said to Cuba—assuring
these islands that they "are and of a
right ought to be free and independent,''
under a reasonable, fostering, American
protectorate.
President McKinley is disturbed by
ex-President Harrison's declaration in
j regard to Porto Rico. He thinks that
Harrison is getting ready to run for
president again. McKinley seems un
able to comprehend that a man may
speak his honest mind without looking
to the future to reward him for it.
EveryoneJ doesn't act solely from prin
ciples of expediency.
It is very appropriate thai, the British,
who held up the Hague peace conven
tion and prevented its declaration
against duni-Uuin bullets, should now bo
protesting against the Boers using them.
MISS ELIZABETH
"So Miss Pyser's got to go to the
poor farm," said Mrs. Green. "I'm
surprised that's she's kep' out of It so
long."
"Yes," said portly, pompous Mrs.
Barker, wife of the chairman of the
selectmen, "my husband told me this
noon that she had applied to the town
for help, and of course they can't sup
port her in her own house."
"I said 'twas flying in the face of
fate when she took those two children
to bring up; one died and t'other ran
away, and now she's all alone."
The vinegar-faced dame who had
thus delivered herself settled to her
work with a self-congratulatory look,
as if she thanked the Lord that she
was not as others were.
Mrs. Barker crossed her hands in
stately idleness; it did not become the
wife of the richest man in Bayville to
sew at the fortnight circle; her pres
ence was all-sufficient.
Miss Berry, who sat beside her,
looked up from her seam. Her sallow
face was a trifle pale.
"You don't mean to say that the
Willowdale people are going to allow
Elizabeth Pyser to go on the town
after all the good she's done?" Bhe
asked.
"Why not?" returned Mrs. Barker.
"It ain't their fault that she's wasted
her money. She's shiftless —always
givin' something to somebody; and
meek—meek as Moses; you'd think
she dasn't say her soul's her own; but
she's deep!" And with a sigh of com
miseration at the unworthinesa of
poor little Miss Pyser, she closed her
mouth with a snap. She had never
forgiven her for being Mr. Barker's
first love, and she half suspected that
he would be quite willing to exchange
his energetic and short-tempered wife
for the sweetheart of his youth. "But
you musn't whisper that I told you
this, for Mr. Barker says women never
know enough to keep anything to
themselves."
"I'm sure we never gossip here,"
said Mrs. Green.
"Where are you goin", Miss Berry?
Ain't you goln' to stop to tea?"
"No, I guess I'd better be gettlrr
home early to-night; Bessie'll be wait
ing for me."
"Now I'll bet Clarindy Berry's gone
straight over to the millin'ry store to
spread the news: so afraid she won't
be the first to tell It. Thank Heaven,
I know enough to keep things to my
self!"
But Miss Berry was not going to the
store nor to spread the news: she
knew that it was unprecedented for
her to leave the sewing meeting be
fore tea time; but as she listened to
the talk the days of her girlhood rose
before her when she and Elizabeth
Pyser were "chums," and told each
other all their secrets; then came a
foolish little quarrel, and they had not
exchanged words for twenty years.
She walked straight down the street,
turned the corner, and without giving
herself time to change her mind, en
tered Miss Pyser's garden and went
up the walk bordered with bouncing
bets, or "old maid's pinks." When, in
answer to her knock, Miss Pyser open
ed the door, neither knew what to say,
but straightway fell into each other's
arms and began to cry.
The door closed on them. An hour
after when Miss Berry left the house
to go to her own home, there was a
springiness in her step, and a smile
playing about the corners of her thin
lips, that betokened unusual excite
ment.
Her pretty niece, Bessie, was about
to sit down to her lonely tea when
Miss Berry made her appearance.
"Why, auntie! What brings you
home so early?" she asked pleasantly.
"Oh, I couldn't Btand the clatter of
those old women. Now you needn't
laugh. Bessie Berry; I know I'm no
chicken myself; but If I'm as heartless
as them 1 left behind, I hope I'll die
before morning."
"Well, what's the matter? You
seem to be excited."
"No, I ain't! I'm Just as calm as
you are. But I've been makin' calls
this afternoon. I went, to see Betty
Pyser. I kep' questionin' her till she
told me all about how she lost her
money in the bank that failed OYer to
Coveton; the man that owned the
house, he let her stay in it out of pity;
first she earned a little by sewln' but
lately folks didn't seem to want any
work done, and she Just shut herself
up there to starve. But human nature
got the best of her. and she had to go
to the town. She's always been hop
ing that that good-for-nothing John
nie would come home, but she's about
giv' him up now. I asked her how
much of the furniture was hers, and
kep' a hintin' and a hintin' till I found
out everything that she could tell me;
and I enjoyed every minute."
She paused, out of breath with ex
citement, and remained for some time
in deep thought. Bessie, too, was
silent. She divined what was passing
in her aunt's mind.
"Say, Bessie," said Miss Berry at
last, "do you think we could contrive
to keep another? I can't bear the
thought of having Elizabeth go to the
poor farm. There's that back cham
ber with nothing in it. and she's got
her own furniture "
She looked appealingly at the girl,
who did not immediately answer. To
undertake the care of another meant
additional sacrifices, more rigid econ
omy. She sighed a little; life was hard
enough for her already. Should she
add to her burden? Would she be just
to herself in dping so? Then she
thought of the days when she and
John Pyser were boy and girl lovers,
and made wonderful plans of what
they would do when they grew up. She
had never lost faith in John; some
day if he lived, she knew he would
come back to them. A light sprang
into her pretty blue eyes, and she met
her aunt's look with a smile.
"Miss Elizabeth musn't go on the
town, auntie. There's plenty of room
for her here, and we'll drive over this
very evening and bring her home."
After her guest had departed, Miss
Elizabeth sank to the old lounge that
had witnessed so many confidences,
and the tears flowed down her thin
cheeks. She thought she had hard
ened herself for what the morrow
would bring; but now she was a for
lorn old maid, crying because she must
become the companion of Crazy Jane
and Witless Will. How little she had
dreamed of this In the days when she
was young and pretty, and every one
called her Bess. One there was who
swore she was the apple of his eye;
but he would not undertake the care
of her orphaned nephew and nleee
and she would not desert them; so he
left her for another. Now he was an
important person In the town, a select
man; and she gave a little gasp, and
hoped he would not be the one chosen
to come for her to-morrow; she really
didn't think she could bear that.
This was the last night In her own
home, and she could not swallow the
morsel of bread that formed her even
ing repast: something would rise in
her throat and choke her every time
she tried.
Hark! a wagon was rumbling up to
the gate; could it be that the last
night a< home was to be denied her?
A loud knock brought her trembling to
the door. A burly teamster stood
there, and by his side Miss Berry and
Beesie; what could it mean?
"Betty, you are coming home with
BBssie and me. Tell ua what fnrniturg
to take, and let this man get it," said
Miss Berry; and she drew the dumb
founded woman aside and in a few
words explained matters.
Almost dnzed Miss Elizabeth sank
on the old lounge, while Miss Berry
went from room to room selecting the
articles needed. Then Bessie brought
the bonnet and shawl that lay ready
for to-morrow's journey, and together
she and Miss Berry led her to her new
home.
Could it be possible that the poor
house was a thing of the past? 3he
must he dreaming. By to-morrow, sure
ly, she would wake up to the awful
reality.
But it was no dream, and the next
morning Miss Elisabeth awoke with
the feeling that aa awful catastrophe
had been averted and the sword
which had been hanging over her head
for so long a time had been prevented
from falling by the kind intervention
of her old-time friend.
As Bessie had anticipated the com
ing of another into the little home
circle meant more self denial for her
self. New frocks and hats were out
of the question; but she ripped and
sponged and remade her winter dress,
and her nimble Angers and good taste
soon brought out of the ruins ef last
season's wardrobe a brand new out
fit in which she looked as pretty as
a pink.
As for the two old friends, they fair
ly worshiped the girl who was the
joy as well as the sunlight of their
home. So this happy family dwelt to
gether in peace and harmony, inde
pendent of outsiders, until an event
happened which broke up the home
circle.
One day a stranger strode into the
town father's office and asked la a
voice that commanded instant atten
tion—
"Where Is Miss Elizabeth Pyser?"
The clerk answered that she had
become somewhat reduced in circum
stances, and had applied to the town
for aid; and so—and so—
"And yon sent her to the poorhouse!
Was there no one in this God forsaken
hole to pay her hack a little of the
kindness she had always shown oth
ers ?"
"Yes." the young man said. "Miss
Berry took her in." And he told the
stranger where to find her.
It was Miss Elizabeth's turn to be
electrified when a prosperous looking
man soon presented himself at Miss
Berry's house and Inquired if his Aunt
Bess lived there.
"I am Elizabeth Pyser. sir," she in
quired In response to his inquiries.
"Why, auntie, don't you remember
Johnnie?" he exclaimed.
Miss Elizabeth had grown very
white, and slipped into a lifeless heap
on the floor; but Joy never kills, and
when she recovered it was realized
that her trouble were over, for John
nie was well-to-do and able to take
care of her for the remainder of her
days.
The old house was bought back and
refurnished, and Johnnie and his aunt
soon settled into the old life. She
petted him to her heart's content, and
he alternately fondled and teased her.
just as he had done yearß before when
he wore pinafores, and she had sent
bim to bed without any Bupper, and
then carried him up sandwiches for
fear he might be hungry.
And Bessie Berry also returned to
the old routine, and was as busy and
cheerful as ever though her aunt
thought she seemed rather quieter
than of yore, particularly when John
Pyßer came to see them, as he did
more frequently as time rolled on.
"Aunt Bess." said John one day, in
rather a shamefaced manner, "don't
you think you should have some young
person in the house to do the work?"
"O Johnnie!" cried the little woman
in fear and trembling. "Don't I please
you? I know I am getting old, but I
thought you was used to my ways
and we could get along. I don't want
a_girl botherin' round."
"Of course I'll do anything to make
you happier, Johnnie, though I don't
see how a servant can make home any
pleasanter for you. As for me. I should
just rust out and die if I didn't have
something to do."
The dear old lady was almost IH
tears.
"Auntie, it isn't exactly a servant I
want; it's —in fact —"
Johnnie really couldn't say the
words; he hardly dared think them as
yet; but he crossed the room to Aunt
Bess and whispered in her ear.
"Oh, John." she cried delightedly,
"how stupid of me! It's just the thing!
And I never thought of it before!"
Miss Elizabeth was in a flutter of
pleasure. She urged her nephew to
go at once on his errand.
"I'll sit up till you come home.
Won't it be like a story if Bessie be
comes your wife?"
"Perhaps she won't have me. Aunt
Bess."
"Pshaw! Go along! What's worth
having is worth asking for. Have
you? Of course she will! She's sensi
ble, Bessie is."
And Miss Elizabeth looked with
pride on the stalwart young man. who,
although he was not handsome, had
an honest manly face that a woman
could trust.
Aunt Bess was right. And now_the
two families are one, and the "old
maids" vie with each other In petting
and spoiling their grown-up children,
who In return for the kindness shown
them in their youth, make their lives
one long happy dream. —Masachusctts

Found the Ring.
An interesting story comes from Pro
ve regarding the age of miracles. For 1
those who are not superstitious it is
douhly entertaining. During a recent
visit ef President George Q. Cannon t
the Seuthem betva he was entertained
at the home af L. Helbrook, manager
ef the Grand Central Mine. Mr. Hol
bronk's ifteen-year-eld daughter Aura
told President Cannon that she had
dreamed three times that she had
found a diamond ring, and in the third
dream a man giving his name as Van
ess, and address Ballas. Texas, had
told her he lest a ring while going
through Prove 1 years aga. and that
she could And it under a certain rock,
giving minute details as to the location
nr the same. President Cannon listened
ta the story with Interest, and at Its
conclusion told the girl she should fol
low up her dream. Aura got on her
wheel and rede away. In less than two
minutes she returned, holding a dia
mond ring in her hand. She claims to j
have found it In the place described by
her dreamland visitant.
It la interesting to know that Mls
Aura has a fondness for diamond rings
and has answered a great many ad
vertisements of them.—Salt Lake Her
