For Superintendent of Schools, "President Roosevelt alwaj-s says something when he makes a speech, cries the massive brained critic. This may be true, but he could serve the people better hy saying less and doing more. The New York Evening Post says that so long as Mr. Roosevelt ignores the tariff branch of the trust ques tion he "leaves his flank exposed to a fire which must become more and more galling as the fight proceeds.' The beef trust confesses that there has been blacklisting and a restrain ing of trade, but it turns around and in an off-hand way says, "What are you going to do about it?" Xoyone " has seen any real signs of Mr. Knox's doing anj-thing about it. Coal.is actually coming from Wales to New York, several carloads having already been delivered. There is no duty on anthracite, but any consid erable exportation of Welsh coal would soon exhaust the supply. It costs f4 to $3 a ton at Cardiff and the transportation charges are about . $2.50. Ex -Congressman George Fred Wil liams, of Massachusetts, said in an interview the other day: "It is re markable what a hold Mr. I?ryan has on the people the plain, common people. He is a royal character, un selfiish. devoted to the betterment of his fellow man, and although tried severely, has not been found wanting. He is the grandest character I have ever met." Anthracite is a name in itself and does not qualify the word coal, as cannel (candle) and bituminous do. It is, therefore, properto speak of anthracite, not of anthracite coal; whereas, it is not proper to speak of bituminous without adding the word coal. It is just as well to have this , informatio'n and be able to affect an intimate familiarity with anthracite. It is the nearest approach to anthra cite that most people are able to make. The New York Tribune says "loud complaints have come from various parts of the country that too many of the national bank notes and green backs now in circulation 'are so filthy and worn that clean persons are dis gusted w'ith them.' How would it do to do away with national bank notes, replace the soiled greenbacks with bright, crisp new bills and supply the peopl with clean, sanitary demo cratic hard money the silver and gold of the constitution? This would be a reform that would do away with the complaint referred to. Spring field Register. election! campaign much, longer and livelier and clouds the result with an unusual amount of doubt. v Prominent Republican Change Faith. William N. Whitely, the reaper king of Springfield,, says he will otethe democratic ticket at the next, presi dential election. He has decided that only the removal or the reduction of the tariff can save the people' from complete rule by the trusts. "The democrats have lost by scat tering too much," he said. "They have had too many issues. They have tried to cover too much ground. In mi' judgment the thing to do is for the party to adopt one issue to fight on and stick to that with vim. That issue is the tariff question. Ther peo ple, are growing restless. They are growing tired of trust domination, a revulsion of sentiment is at hand. You democrats want to take advan tage of it. If you lo there are thous ands of republicans that are going to vote with you. Every family is affect ed by the trust. There is nothing you can buy any more that is not carry ing a price . arbitrarily fixed by a trust." The' news that Mr. Whitely has left the republican party will be a sur prise to thousands of people the country over who have known him for years as one of the leading advo cates and warmest champions of the McKinley policy. Mr. .Whitely 1 has been one of the leaders of the repub lican party and as often as called on he has made large, contributions to the success of the principles embod ied in its platforms. When he ran the mammoth East Street -Reaper works at Springfield, at the' time of their completion the second largest in the world, being surpassed in di mensions only by the great Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany, he em ployed 3,000 men. A band of 40 or more pieces was organized among the workmen and eery opport unity was taken advantage of to spread the doctrines of the party of Lincoln, Garfield and Grant. It was not uncommon for Mr. Whitely to charter two or three trains and take his employes, headed by the big band, to some neighboring city to add to the success of a repub lican rallv. Avoids the Issue. Philadelphia Record: It is not strange that in order to avoid the is sues of the present the republican campaign text book should deal so largely in fiction and attempt to dis turb the ghosts of dead and buried controversies. Some allowance must be made at the same time for Chair man Babcoek's peculiar position. As the responsible author of a bill in congress to curb the evil power of the trusts by reduction or repeal of the protective duties by which these combinations despoil the American people he could not in decency de fend the tariff which has imposed these duties. Yet he is guilty at the same time of admitting into his cam paign text book a plea in regard to trusts in free trade England of which his own bill against the trusts. is a denial and refutation. The dexterity of straddling politicians is something equal to their ' embarrassments, but no political gymnastics will . enable Chairman Babeock to evade the is sues of this campaign.

In a lrttle log churclrn the colony of Massachusetts one jftuuday morn ing during the sixteenth century a congregation of Puritans was assem bled for divine worship. The minister, Obedlah Armstrong, a young man of twenty-eight, had been a captain In Cromwell's nriny and had led his men to battle to the niusie of -a psalm rather thau the drum, the life or the bugle. Suddenly the door opened, and 'a young girl rushed In among the wor shipers with every appearance of dread excitement. "How now. Mistress Asenoth?" said the pastor. "Why do you thus disturb our worship with your unholy Inter ruption?" "The Indians:" gasped the girt. "They are coining!" The men of the congregation were about to rush for their weainuis; which stood against the log walls of the church, when the pastor stopped them. "Let there be no unseemly haste In the temple of the Ixrd," ho said. "If what Asenoth Gwynne says Is true, we may soon appear before the heav enly throne. It Is not meet that we should go there after showing a cowardly haste to save our lives. Rather should we be diligent in saving our souls. Let us sing the One Hun dredth Psalm." The psalm was sung, the men set ting their jaws and bellowing what was really a defiauce to the savages, the women singiug In trembling voices. The eye of the parson lighted as it had lighted on the eve "of Marston Moor, and while he sang he looked upon the comely face and figure of the damsel who had brought the warning. When the last stanza had been sung, there was a movement In the congregation, but the pastor raised his baud. . "The doxology," he said. At the moment there was a blood curdling whoop without, but the holy man did not heed it. nor did his con gregation flinch. The doxology j,'.ve vent to a final defiance to the red men whose arrows were now . pattering against the walls of the. church like the first drops of a thunder shower. When the last word had been sung, the pastor said: "It is now meet, brethren, that I should command you in battle as I have commanded some of you who are now here. We will smite the heathen savages with their oily skins hnd scalplocks as we once smote the cav aliers with their essences and unholy, sensual curls. To your guns!" Seizing the great sword which he had wielded so well In Kiigland and had brought with him to the wilds of America, he went altout among his men, each at his loophole, firing every one with his own zeal. endMdied iir some text from Holy Writ. The matchlocks of the Puritans with stood the Inferior weapons of the saV ages, but the latter, seeing "that they could not carry the little church by assault, liuide preparations for burning the building. The rear stood against a low bank, betweou which and the edi fice was a well. The savages made a rush, getting sufficiently near to throw burning brush against the lat ter. It was then that the pastor ceased to exhort and, seizing n bucket, was about to open n rear door and go out for water when Aseueth tlwynue stopied him. "That is certain death," she said. "If you die, this congregation will be butchered if It Is not burned. Give me the bucket." "I, a captain in that war which sent n king to the block, give place to a wo man! Stand aside!" There was a savage yell without, and the parson turned away. The In dians were coining to rush the build ing, doubtless to so engage the English that they would not be able to put out the fire. The parson threw open the door smd, seizing a gun, led his men, firing as he went. Meanwhile Aseneth opened the rear door; drew a bucket of water and, going through a shower of arrows to the front, dashed it npon the burning brush that was igniting the woodwork of the church. She had no sooner done so than she fell, pierced by an arrow, but she had saved the building from the flames. The parson, having , exhausted his ammunition, f&ik his piece by the muzzle and swung It about him, braining an In dian with every blow. He was a pow erful man, standing C feet 2 inches, and loved to strike down an enemy as he loved to preach damnation to sin ners. His body bristled with arrows, none of which pierced a vital part, and at last the Indians, seized with a fear that he was a god, turned and fled. Then Obadiah Armstrong staggered back to the church and, seeing Aseneths Gwynue lying with an arrow in her breast, gently withdrew It and, raising her head, rested It upon ; his knees. The men, except the wounded, had gone in pursuit of the Indians, but the women poured out of the church. "This damsel," said Obediah to thode who stood about, "has saved you all from an earthly burning. Her spirit has departed and has left me deso late." His voice, which was as seft as it had been harsh, trembled. - "Mayhap there may be a spark of life left, and before it leaves the body I, a man of God, authorized to Join men and wo men In holy wedlock, answering for myself and her to the responses in the marriage ceremony, pronounce we twain , man and wife. He pressed 'a kiss upon her brow. Asenoth opened her eyes and greeted him with a smile. Such was the marriage of Obadiah Armstrong and Aseneth Gwynue, whose progeny are at this day numer ous In the commonwealth of Massa chusetts. ROSAMOND ALICIA BUDD.
