The price is paid, the ghosts are laid— And the broken whisper runs— The ghosts of the murdered men of the Maine— In the roar of the shotted guns. The cable-flashes flicker, And fail at Singapore— But the ships remained, whose guns are trained To speak for the Commodote. . . s . . oe O, ship for ship, they fought us, But overmatched in the aim, And, one by one, we riddled The cruisers as they came; One by one, to the bottom, The bulks steel go down; And ours is the Bay of the Islands!

( Edward Bates, Librarian of the Treasury Department at Washington, died Monday evening at the home of his father, Dr. Julian Bates, 3963 Finney avenue, this city. Mr. Bates was about 25 years old, and prior to his appointment as librarian of the Treasury Department was curator of shelves in the Public Library of St. Louis. The appointment was made last summer, following Mr. Bates’ ‘return to St,. Loulé from his vacation. He went directly to Washington and took up his new duties, but thé work and the climate of the capital affected his health, so aggravating a throat trouble that two weeks agu he was obliged to give up the position. Leave of absence for one month was applied for and readily granted. Mr. Bates’ intentfons were to 8Y West in search of relief, but he became worse as he passed through St. Louis On a visit to his family, and here he remained until the end. It was foretold by the talented youns man’s friends that had he not already been bequeathed an illustrious name he would have created one for himself. He was the grandson and namesake of the famous ae sourl lawyer, Edward Bates, whom Pane dent Lin»soln selected as Attorney-General during the first term of the Ijlinotsan & oc cupaney of the Chief Executives oS Dr. Julian.

A gang of alleged boy bur- gilars were arrested last evening in as lav- ishly furnished apartments as a millionaire would occupy. They were found by the po- lice in a barn in the rear of 4341 Wentworth avenue. Five boys compose the gang and their ages range from 11 to 17 years. The furnishings of the “robber den” astonished the police.

Mark Twain's article on “Lying” in the Christmas supple- ment of the Sunday Post-Dispatch is the best bit of writing ‘he has done for many a day. Twain speaks of the “silent assertion lie,’ told without Saying a word. “It is one of the most majestic lies that the civilizations make it their sacred and anxious care to guard and watch and propagate.” It is ‘the silent assertion that there isn’t anything going on in which humane and intelligent ple are interested, ’** In the early days of the emancipation tation, silence reigned in press and pulpit, and public men held their tongues. Millions of Frenchmen pretended that there was nothing in the Dreyfus case and tried to smother ; The English people didn’t know _ that Mr. Chamberlain was getting up a war with the Boers. Obl no! - ‘Phere-is a silent assertion lie going the rounds in the United States. The war in the Philippines is «supported by dt. The most outrageous violations of right, justice and law gre suf-. fered ta pass unchallenged by people who pretend they don’t gee that anything is going on. These are the shams and lies that make the dark pages:in history—pages that are writien in blood, They create irre- pressible conflicts. hp >a — a “Men ought to be perfect, but how?” asks Dr. Holland re- peatediy. Dr. Helland appears to be the man with the how. >a rT F ADVERTISE THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. Interest in the World's Fair is growing keener as the days go by and the recanvass proceeds towards a successful conclu- ‘ pion. The World's Fair will be not only a celebration of a great taistoric event. The sudden expansion of American trade “ghich is making its way into every port in the world is an 4 ‘opportunity which must be seized for the benefit of the com- mercial interests of St, Louis. ‘The Mississippi Valley is the future seat of empire. The ge | gooner the world knows it the better, and the best announce- Ment would be the great fair designed to advertise all the _“ Retural and artificial adv antages of the region. i> i a A The British poet laureate’s verses are likely to be a chroni- ele of reverses. SS = i - | COST OF PRACTICAL EDUCATION, - Bxperience is costly. Mr. John D. Rockefeller is paying $10,- 000,000 for a course in practical finance for his son John D., Jr. ‘This is a high fee. The best colleges in the land make no ; ‘ puch charges for the most complete course, and even in the “edllege & life it does not often cost $10,000,000 to learn how to “squeeze the shorts.” But maybe he didn’t pay $10,000,000- Perhaps the old man ‘won what the young man lost. While it’s all in the family Meither father nor son need lose sleep over it. When debts can be made and paid by bookkeeping the highest financial] transaction can be undertaken with perfect confidence. There was interesting information about Gen. Joubert th es ‘yesterday’ s Post-Dispatch. According to Lamar Fontaine the Dutch Commander fought under Stonewall Jackson in the Civil War. This accounts for the ginger of the Dutch troops : and many things that have happened in South Africa. _ = " BEGGING THE QUESTION. ~ In his sermons on “The Man With the Hoe” Dr. Holland ‘Seems to be begging the question. 5 Progress is the law of iife and civilization is the reward ef effort. Who is getting the benefits of civilization? It f a “product of co-operation, but do all the co-operators share ac- _ eording to their labors? That is the argument of the hoeman > as interpreted by Markham, but Dr. Holland does not deal with this. * Tt does not matter whether the hoeman is good or had: whether he lives in a hogwallow or a cottage. The question is, dg he suffering wrong from society or from the more fortunate Members of so¢icty? It is a social question, not an individual question, The hoeman’s degradation does not justify society - $m perpetuating his fallen condition. If social relations are un- Just let them be reformed.

If is bad it is because he is bad, This may restore peace, but it looks much like a surrender of pretty much everything women have been working for. If & woman can't be good or bad except by the suggestion of a man, what can she be or do all by herself? - = = | ss a a If people whose houses “have been robbed desire to make sure that the thieves will mot be caught, let them aid the police in keeping the facts from the public.

THAT FILTRATION HOLD-UP, In the alleged Council “combine” which defeated the filtra- | tion bill the interests of the people of St. Louis are threatened | by a greater menace than is found in the House of Delegates “eombine”’ which defeated the temporary lighting bill. Six Councilmen voted against the filtration bill..They were Carroll, Gaus, Kratz, Schnell, Thuner, and President Meier—sufficient to block legislation. Councilman Gast was absent. One more vote is necessary to give the eombine g majority and thus enable it to put through the kind of filtra- tion ordinance desired by the combine and its backers. It ig said to be assured. The issue raised by the “combine” in the blocking of the bill is clear, simple, easily understood by every citizen. The filtration bill provided for an expenditure of $75,000 in experi- mental plants for the purpose of testing methods of filtration in order that the best method of filtering the St. Louis water supply may be adopted, and a filtration plant built. by the city to be owned and run by the city as a part of the water plant. The money for the experiments and for the building of the plant was to come from the revenue of the Water Depart- ment. This plan of procedure has the approval of Water Commis- sioner Flad, of the entire Buard of Public Improvements and ' of competent engineers. It has the approval of every honest and sensible man who gives a moment’s thought to the gub- ject. It is the only honest and sensible method of procedure, On the other hand, the plan of the “combine” appears te be to make a contract for private filtration or, at least, for. the private construction of the filter plant with a heavy mort. gage to the builders and ‘the owners of the patents for the pro- cess selected. In other words, the vitally important question of filtering the supply of water for St. Louis is to be decided off-hand by the “combine” in the Council and House of Delegates. The filtration contract is to go to the men favored by the “com- bine.” It is unnecessary to tell St. Louisans how a deal of this kind will he made, Any honest engineer will admit that an expert cannot tell off-hand without investigation and experiment what methaed of filtration will be effective for St. Louis water. Any honest filter man will admit that ft cannot be so decided, No honest filter man would accept a contract off-hand with a guarantee of effective filtration. The apparent plan of the “combine” has boodle stamped all j over it. The scheme is dishonest on its face. It would mean a job in the filter contract with probably a bigger job in the background—the ultimate confiscation of the city’s Water- works. If the “filter combine” is not smashed either proper filtra- tion will be blocked until too late to secure pure water for the World’s Fair, or a filter job involving a menace to public health and the robbery of the people is likely to be “jammed through.” Will the St, Louis people submit to a hold-up of this kind? It is quite possible that the rush of holiday shappers in St. Louis will be greater than it has ever been. Early buyers will net only have the largest stocks to select from, but they will avoid a good deal of:erewding and jostling and weari- some waiting that are inseparable from late purchasing. The Post-Dispatch is the holiday directory for buyers, and itis easy to find the best places by waiching its columns. The British press tries to account for the defeats of the imperial army in South Africa and finds all reasons but the right one. The simple truth is that the Britons are encoun- tering a brave, determined people, who are fighting for home and country and who are well prepared for a great struggle. Kentucky marvels at finding herself praised by Republican organs which haye made it their business to ridicule and misrepresent her for so many years. If this belated Republi- can praise shali not open the eyes of the Democratic fac- tions they are hopelessly blind. a Col. Julio del Rio of the Spanish army testifies that Admiral] Dewey ordered Spanish prisoners to be turned over to the Filipinos. Had not the Filipinos been our allies, would Dewey ever have made such an order? —_——_—— oe — —— Money is dear in London as a result of the Boer war. There are some good lessons at hand for the London jingo mob. We must be right in the Philippines, because some of the Spaniards have joined us in fighting the “insurgents.” The State will soon be out of of debt. The city—when? POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS, Gatacre “gat.” “The Man With the Sharp Stick” its getting after Dr. Hol- land. The British lion is likely to be stump-tailed before he gets away from the Dutch, No good American likes to see Uncle Samuel and Mr. Bull figuring as pals in “criminal aggression.” The singular epidemic of “sore knee,”’ now prevailing in the State of New York, ts probably not a result of protracted praying. The Stormberg disaster is described as a repetition of Nich- olson’s Nek. There is a strong impression that Mr. Bull con- tinues to “get it in the Nek.” The logs of $10,000,000 by young Rockefeller is a serious mat- ter. Rockefeller losses may mean a skinning of consumers of ‘Rockefeller products to make up the deficit. The flood of pension bills is one of the first features of this winter’s Congressional meeting. Uncle Samuel's leg is going to-pain him a good deal in the next twelve months. Should the Philippine folly result in an Increase of 5 cents a pound on the binding twine which farmers use the man with the hoe may have some criticisms to add to the accumu- lation the Administration has to meet.

But with a little prudence there is really no reason for the disagreeable roughness which so many women endure compilaining- ly year after year during the entire cold season.

A LOVE FUST ==_=-c$c~---:-:” ® ERMEN MET AND AGREED THAT TIMES ARE GOOD. AEY, AT LEAST, PROSPER. om ee Bepresentatives and Delegates From Many Sections in Convention at ‘the Southern Hotel. Quite a large delegation of manufactur- ing lumbermen from different cities met at the Southern Hote! Tuesday morning, with mo more definite object than to enjoy a gen- eral “love feast’’ and incidentally discuss the past, present and future of the lumber manufacturing industry in the United States. The meeting was called by the Bureau of Information of the Southern Lumber Masu- facturers’ Association. The four quarters-of the United States were represented, bul the greater number of delegates came from oints north and south in the Mississippi a@iley. But few Pacific Coast men were o'clock by Presidert Enoch of the Southern @umbermen’s Association. Mr. J. B. White of Kansas City was chosen permanent chairman and in thank- ing the delegates for the honor conferred Said it had never been his p.easure to pre- side over a body of plutocrats. He alluded to the meeting one year ago as one of sor- row, but the present one was for the pur- pose of singing songs of praise for the pros- perity which lumbermen were enjoying. “Amalgamation,’”’ said Mr. White, “and Working together ig the cause of our prvus- perity. Instead of trying iv see how cheap We can make and se.! lumber, we are now trying to seil at a profit. The day of vur emancipation from poverty dawned when at the meeting las! year the white pine men of the north and the yellow pine men of the south ugreed to stand together.’’ Mr. White taiked in a reminiscent vein of the “buzgaboos’’ which in times past haunted the lumberman and closed hig ie- Marks with the statement that he was proud to preside over a body of men with their shoes shined and money in their George K. Smith of St. Louls was elected secretary of the meeting. A report on the conditions existing among White pine manufacturers was made Dy Mr. J. E. Rhodes, secretary of the Missis- appl Valley Lumbermen’s Association. he report showed a@ shortage in waite ine stocks, compared with last year, of 693 feet, notwithstanding the mills have heen run to their utmost capacity. Of che future Mr. Rliodes spoke hopefully, be- Heving that in 1800 the farmers througnout the country would be larger purchasers than for some years past. The mills have, in fact, anticipated this demand and are Mmeking preparaticns to mect it. ’ Mr. George K. Smith of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Association vead a Feport of conditions in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, showing a shortage in yeliow pine on Dec, 1 between 50,u0.000 and 60,000,000 feet. rtage 'n freight cars hindered great- y the shipment of lumber, but beginning With the new year the manufacturers ‘hoped that hindrance would be gotten rid of when they anticipated a larger volume of business for the first half of 1#0 than for the same period in 1899. Mr. Smith's report on southern tions was encouraging throughout. My. E. T. Stillwell made a report from the Georgia Sawmi!! Association, showing that lumbermen in that State had enjoyed pros- perity during the year. Mr. Barber of the Northwestern Lumber Co., Eu Claire, Wis., spoke of ° trade in hemlock, showing’ it to be even healthier than trade in white and yellow pine. ‘the shortage in Wisconsin now amounts to @bout 25,00..000 feet. Mr. Bigelow of Lewis- ton, Mich., stated that conditions in hem- lock trade in Michigan were much the Wisconsin. Mr. W. I. McKge and Mr. George P. Hatch, both of Washington, made encour- aging reports from the Pacific Coast. Re- ports from other States were equally en- couraging, and on the whole the morning 8@ssio. proved to be what Chairman White predicted at the outset, a “love feast." The reports all brought out the fact that export ‘s good and that railroad companies, especially in Texas, are making enormous purchases. Mr. Drake, Secretary of the Texas Lum. Dbermen’s Association, was the only dele- te who touched on politics. He beijieved that he detected an inclination on the part of lumbermen to shove prices ép a bit. He doubted the policy of doing that. ‘“‘You are all making money, and I think that in- stead of trying to raise prices we should only hold to what we have. A Presidential @lection is coming on and I don’t think it would be wise to make lumber = any higher.”’ oO response, however, was made to this Suggestion of Mr. Drake's that prices re- main where they are. An afternoon session was held, beginning at 2 o'clock. Belleville Marriage Licenses. William Hukreda, 38, New Orleang; Miss Viola Stanley, 36, Indianapolis, Ind. . Oscar J.

Others take a different view of the situa- tion, and say the Washington inspectors prefer to conduct the investigation inde- pendent of the local offictals. The Washington authorities, too, it is said, are anxious to secure an immediate state- ment of Mr. Tuchschmidt’s affairs. It is admitted that this will require some time, as Tuchschmildt is said to have manipulated his books in. clever fashion. A desk in Mr. Grenner’s private office has been set apart for the examiners, and a mass of papers dealing. with the cashier's records were spread thereon Tuesday morn- ing. Several deputies were summoned by Mr. Lay and questioned regarding certain trans- actions in which Tuchshmidt ts said to have figured. could be learned, were discovered. Neither Mr. Lay nor Inspector Gaveit will discuss the case at this time. They will not even venture an opinion as to the length of the inquiry, although it is ex- pected it will be concluded before the first of the month. “Topsy’s in Town.” PRESIDENT HAS HANDS OFF. He Declines to Express Favoritism in the Convention Contest. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The contest over the place for holding the next Repub- lican National Convention was begun at the White House to-day. A large delega- slow from Philadelphia saw the President and explained to him the hopes of that city, but the President said it would be manifestly improper for him to express the slightest preference for any city in a con- test of this character. A St. Louts delegation is also working diligently for the convention. a Saran ee Verh rpeny att Hier ; TUVERT ME iad tha = —— = 75) oS = ee: : re.

Five of them will- supplied by private exhibitors, but the oth- ers will be taken up with Government ex- hibits. I am glad an mp Oder od presents itself for me:to explain Government exhibits are. They are not = collection of relics of American achievements—such as old flags, documents or other things of that character. They represent American industries and advantages, for the exinbit of which there are no commercial incen- tives. Under this head come our forest, educational, fine arts and agricultural ex- hibits. There would be no profit for any rivate citizen to take these exhibits in is hands and bear the expenses of sending them across the ocean and placing them. Yet they are important features of Ameri- can prosperity and industry and the world : cannot understand us without understand- ing them. We recognize that fact, and the Government will pay the expense .of mak - | ing these exhibits. In those cases mere | some special commercial interest will be benefited. private exhibitors will have the responsibil ty of the exhibits, because they | ofits. tate in the union will take part bit in the American section and will be well represented. Missouri will be there with . Bar 9 disper in the mining de- artment. (Louis will be seen in every epartment a the industrial and manufac- turing section. It will follow Chicago and+ New York closely in the size and variety | of its exhibits, and will lead America in many departments. It will have a high; place of honor in a competition in which every city of any importance in the coun- try will share. | “What do I think of the prospects of the Paris Exposition?

He tried to put on the stage the West, a’ a Londoner conceives it. He comes about as near it as any of.-his class could—which isn’t within miles. Mer- ri Osborne used to sing an English “nig- ger'’—that’s what they are called over there—song, going something like this: W'y daown in Noo Jarsey, whar my littie cabin stands, Han’ the little pickaninnies oer, abaont the door, Hi tikes me ltttle banjo ha i sings me littie song, Hin the plice whar the cotton horght te grow. Well aes Fitch’s idea of the life of the West is about as near the real thing as is | that song. He shows us cow-punchers of the Remington stripe, and one feels that they grow only in a Remington picture. He puts them in juxtaposition with women of fashion, in raiment of a ballroom, and then has them assemble In a dive in a cattle town. The villain of this remarka- ble “Western” wong wears faultless evening attire, and smokes cigarettes, in true melo- dramatic: style, but if he didn’t do better than the play ‘calls for, the “‘gods” in any other theater would hiss him off the stage. In the Olympic, however, the “gods” are tamed. There is really only one true episode that is not threadbare in the play, and that is where Goodwin, as the hero, and Miss Elliott, as the heroine, meet over the dead tc siain, boys, a plentiful amount of excellent scen- ery, and the most astounding gyno eae ance of profanity ever seen heard on any stage. It has been said that “profanity same not in writing it ‘d-a-m-n,’ but ‘d——-n.’”” If that be true, then this first act is. not profane, but as our friend of the A-arehey road says, “I dunno.
