THE TYRAITS' WAY. And now we are ' to hang or shoot the guerillas we cap ture in Luzon, 4 'for the sake of the deterrent effect such action will have." How ex actly we are following the ioot8teD of bnain in our treatment of the possibly un wise, but undoubtedly patri otic, Filipinos. Richmond Dispatch We have not forgotten that ome of our own people, who resisted Great Britain in the Revolution, were treated the pame way. The British over ran South Carolina after the capture of Charleston, but Marion, Sumter, Lee and oth ers took to the swamps, and with a few determined fol lowers made it hot for the enemy. Col. Isaac Haynes submitted and took the oath: Afterward, he was required to take up arms against his country. He joined the ban dits, as the British called Marion and his compatriots, was captured and hanged as a rebel and traitor. No doubt that the Swamp Fox, as Ma rion was called, would have shared his fate if he had been caught. It seem 8 that our country is to follow the lead of others to the bitter end of oppres sion and to the depths of tyr anny. Yes, shoot all who dare be free arid Btrike for liberty, but retribution will be sure to come.. If it could reach no one but McKinleythe chief criminal, and his ' advisers, it would not be so bad; but, .alas, our country! we all have to he'p bear the results of the policy which has shed oceans of blood and destroyed thousands of human beings. Shall it ever stop? . Next year will tell. UAIIXS A SCAPEGQAT OF ROBERTS. What a howl there is about the seating of Congressman Roberts, of Utah, because he refuses to repudiate the wives whom he married when po lygamy was not forbidden. There are men of prominence In every city of the United lives than Roberts is, and . these men would be seated without a question if elected to Congress. There are, be yond a doubt, men in Con gress today, who are leading worse lives than Roberts is, and yet we hear no kick against any of these. It Rob erts is taking care of three wives, ho is doing a whole lot better than thousands of hus bands all over this country. winy u Pimm per cent, ui me brutes are taking care of one properly. I am not standing up for polygamy, but I, can't help admiring a man who re spects the vows he has taken, 'Tattler," in Ashville Citi zan. v Yes, but you are standing up for polygamy all the same. You are apologizing for Rob erts, and if it were .not for public opinion, many would justify him. ' The fact that others are guilty of breaking every com mandment in the Decalogue does not in the least excuse Roberts. He Is an enemy to the home of every man and woman, and challenges every virtuous man and woman to endorse his vile doctrine and conduct. There may be as bad men in Cougress as he, buttlieydo not defy public opinion and challenge others to condone or justify, their acts. Roberts does. Thank God, public sentiment will not permit any representative to favor Roberts. He inust go. . We would rejoice if there were no unclean men in Con gress or in the country, .and if any one in Congress is liv ing 3 as to be a public dis grace and as to encourage de bauchery and degradation. as Breckenridge did, we want to see him go, too. But these vile men spoken of above, in Lthe article from the Citizen, have, at least, decency enough to practice their vile ness under cover; Roberts openly defied the country. It is indorsement of polygamy to apologize for him. The representatives of the people are, as a rule, decent, honor able, virtuous persons. We can vouch for ours. UOUEYaTd FOOLS. KlDitoa Free Frl A slick-tongued man was here recently and took a few orders for job printing from some of our people, collecting part payment in advance. The man jumped his board bill and it transpires .that those who gave him orders and cash are out the amount parted with. It is always so. If some worth person, known to these people had tried to get them to invest in it, he would probably have received scant incouragement. In the case of these and others, who listen to Strang era and love to be humbuged the true proverb: A fool and his money soon part company" finds literal fulfilment. CURRENT OPINION. When it was thought neces sary to insure Republican suc cess, Secretary Hav wrote an open letter to an Ohio Repub lican in which he vigorously denied that there was any al liance wjth Great Uritian or that any alliance was in con templation. That was politics. It was true to the letter of the law. but misleading as to the spirit. Two utterances of leading statesmen of the two countries show that there is an "understanding" if there was no other evidence. On the 30th of 'November, in, a speech at .Leicester, Joseph Chamberlain said: "The Union, the Alliance, if you please, the understanding, be tween these two great nations, is indeed a guarantee of the peace of the world." On the same day, at a Thanksgiving dinner in London, United States Ambassador Choate said : "Let England and America clasp hands across the sea and the peace " of the world is absolutely secure." "How we have progressed! First it wa San Francisco, then Hawaii, then Guam, then Manila, and one step more and we will be at the open door of China. "And who shall dare slam the door in our faces ? These utter ances, made on tho same day by two of the smartest living men, were not made casually. They have deep meaning. They point to the alliance, de nied, which has been tacitly understood by the representa tives of both countries. For us, we would prefer an open alliance, bad as that would be to tho secret understanding which undoubtedly exists. Raleigh News and Observer. v AUflAsTcFltliFldt. Mr. W. A.
