A STRANGE SCENE.
The people of this country
they that thought of it had a
strange spectacle presented tc
thTjir view on Washington's
birthday, and one that ought tc
Cue the lovers of liberty and
fair dealing to stop and consider
and ask themselves the ques
tion, what does all this mean':
Whe n will this farce end? While
the people of the country were
celebrating the natal day of th
Father of his country, his coun
try's forces were engaged in per
forating the bodies of the Filipi
nos with bullets, and asking
themselves the question: What
business have these insurgents
with freedom? They are in the
way of the army that is carrying
this great land of liberty to its
destiny, and they should be shot
to death by thousands if they do
not get out of the way. Now wo
say this is a strange thing to be
enacted on the natal day of the
Father of his country, by his
countrymen. Had any one dared
to predict such an event words
would be inadequate to express
the wave of indignation of the
people. Yet it is true in even
particular- The Filipinos are
only fighting for that boon thai
Washington fought for seven
long years, and the cause foi
whH'h they are bleeding and dy
ing Is as dear to their hearts as
a-ny noble impulse that tired th
American heart in the Revolu
tionary period. The Vu :
States did not send D;nv- y to
Manilla to conquer these people
but the Spaniards,- and we haa
no doubt in our mind bat what
they aided the United Siute m
o::peiiiug the Spanish, belk-vinjL:
tietr independence would slu;
be assured. But be this as it
may, the world is treated today
to the strange spectacle of a war
that commenced to free Cuba,
waged in the Philippines to
bring its people into subjection,
and while in this land we were
fceiebrating the day our hero.
Washington, was born, in the
far away islands of the sea our
army was engaged in slaughter
ing a people who have been
lighting for years to be free. Is
it not strange?
Itill OLD CLUE BALK.
REED AND THE DEMOCRATS.
There was one occurence in
fie closing scenes of Congress
that will make the occasion his
torical, and emphasize the fact
that the hero of today may to
morrow be repudiated and the
dispised one of the present may
be U13 popular hero of tomorrow
and was the passage of a reso
lution introduced by the Dem
ocratic leader, Mr. Bailey en
dorsmg the course pursued 1 y
Speaker Reed and thanking him
tor the impartial manner in
which he had presided over the
deliberations of the House. It
we remember correctly, and we .
think we do, it was only it few
years ago we were all denouuc-1
ing Speaker Reed for counting ;
a quorum, and calling htm Czar !
and other harsh names. Nor is
this all. Some of the Democratic
Representatives wanted to cui
his throat as he sat in the pre
siding officer's chair. Last Sat
urday, upon the eve of the ad
journment of the House, Mr.
Bailey, the Democratic leader,
arose and af.er an eloquent
speech inyhich he did not for
get to eulogize the Speaker pre
sented the resolutions of which
we speak, and every mother's
son of them, including old Joe
Wheeler, of whom the dispatch
es the day before representee
him being snubbed by Reed,
hopped on their feet and put tin
resolution through with a rush
While there is nothing wroni,
in the voting of this vote o.
thanks, aod the memoers had a
perfect right to thus corn p 11 i.e i
Mr. Reed, we can not refrah
from remarking, we were Iiai-
baek yonder about ten years ag
when we denounced the Speak
er and called him a Czar and aia
i hat, or else we were liars la;
Saturday, for as the Ethiopia!
hits not changed li is skiu, or tin
Leopard his snots, so is Mr.
Reed the same kind of a man
and Speaker then that he is now.
Verily, how we .change.

The greatest danger from La
Grippe is of its resulting h.
pneumonia. If reasonable caiv

danger will be avoided. Am.oi.ir
the lens of thousands who have
used this remedy for la grippe
we have yet to leorn of a singie

that this remedy is a certain pre
