It depends upon wboe ox is gored: while Edward Atkinson was issuiu his fulminatious aIgamst the so-called inipolicy of adopting the free and un linited coinage of both gold and sil ver, he was a statesman, a gentlemat and a scholar; but as soon as Mr. At kinson dares to issue a fulminatior upoin another subject upon which Mr Atkinson has also very pronouncet views, he becomes a traitor and a se ditionist. Because the administra tion has espoused the cause of imper ialisn and Mr. Atkinson has not, thos( in authority have seen proper to de nounce Mr. Atkinson's more moderi patriotism and riper statesmaLShip as rank treason and sedition and hav sought to deny his literature the righ of passing through the mails of the United States; but, when it was founi that this literature was a part ani parcel of the Congressional Record and could not be excluded from the mails, the authorities had to recede from their original position and al low it to pass through the interstate mails; but orders were issued to the postmaster at San Francisco, direct ing him to see to it that none of this "Atkinson literature" got into the "Manila mails." It depends upot whose ox is gored. Mr. Atkinson a an advocate of the gold standard, and Mr. Atkinson as the advocate o: anti perialism are two very seperate and distinct individuals. In the advocacy of the first, he was a statesman, pa triot and scholar, because he preach ed administration doctrine; but in the advocacy of the second, although as honest, sincere and conscientious as in the first, he becomes all that is detestible and bad, because he i; rubbing the hair the wrong way. Il is rather a high-handed procedure or the part of the administration to deny an American citizen the use of the American mails simply because he does not become a political puppet and lick the administration's hands But, as is always the case when any piece ot literature~ is denied the priv ilege of the mails, publie attention is called to the literature in a way that proves to be the best possible adver tisemnent of the thing "tabooed;" At kinson's lhterature is not an exceptiot to the rule, for the demand has in creased wonderfully since this as sumption and arrogance upon the4 part of those who are responsible for its wide public notoriety. If the lit erature is in fact good argumnent against the chosen policy of the ad ministration, its exclusion from the mails will cause it to be more widely read. So that those in authority are not only arrogant, but they are very unwise in their policy. It is assumpt ion for any one to call opposition toa thing which the people of this coun try have never indorsed, treason; it is forestalling the condition to whici: we are rapidly driftinsz, when a man'i birthright of individual opinion i; denied expression unless it accord; wvith the wishes of the masters; it i: ground for impeachment, when ar adramnistrative officer sets the consti tuti -nal right of freedom of speecd at n&ght by the arbitrary, extensiom of his official duties and prerogatives and it is not reckoning without one's host when it is assaned that the peo ple of this country will applaud thi; high-handed proceeding. The thing is not absolutely a cut and dried one that the people want imperialism ir this country. The sentiments of the people are not faithfully refiected it many newspapers. If one reas those papers only, he must thiuk that ev erybody ii. the United States is r"n ning with his tongue out after impe rialism; but if you lay the paper. aside and mingle with the peopli whom you meet in everyday life, y t wonder where thme imperialists are The writer has made it a practice tc sound every one whom Le chance; to meet upon this important subject irrespective of party creed, and bar ring a few he has failed to find many :etzligenit, reading men who wanl the United States to retain the Phil ippines. Anid yet certain newspa pers of the country are preaching that it is treason and sedition for an' American citizen to dare thbink foi himself and express an opinion al variance with the policy marked out by those who want to usc this greal Since the destruction of Gen. Wade Hampton's home, South Carolinians could not do a more grateful act, than to respond to the call which has been made to build a home for the gallant cheiftain. General Hampton is an octogenarian, and of course his race is nearly run, but if the people of South Carolina for whom he has spent his life build a "Hamptor home," after the general has passed away, it could be converted into a home for aged, and infirm confeder ate soldiers. Let the movement to build a "Hampton home" take root in every county, and let each countY contribute a sufficient sum to build a loom. General Hampton deserves such a tribute, and it should be done at once. How's This! We offer one nundred dollars reward foi any case of catarrb that cannot be cured b3 Haln's Catnrrh Cure. F. J.

(From or.r Regular Correspondt )t Washington, May 5.-Mr. McKin ley doesn't like portions of the repori of the military court of inquiry and it is said that the court which ad ijourned a week ago will be recon vened to revise the ol-jectionable parts of the report before it is ap proved by Mr. McKinley and made public. It seems that in their criti. cisms of certain officers, the mem bers of the court, doubtless uninten tionally, trod upon Mr. McKinley's toes. Some of Boss Hanna's tricks in the speakership muddle are leaking out. One of them was his hint that the Speaker ought to be a Western man. It was thought strange at the time that he should have dropped that hint. But when it is known that sev eral days afterward he had a private conference in New York with Repre sentative Sherman its strangeness disappears. It was a bluff to bring Sherman to his knees and obtain pledges from him. Whether it suc ceeded is not certain, but there are reasons for believing that it did, and that Sherman, who was first known as Czar Reed's candidate, will be taken up by Hanna, the administra tion and the trusts and elected Speaker. Friends of Hopkins of Ill inois and Henderson of Iowa, both of whom had been led to expect admin istration support, are getting very suspicious. They will not talk for publication now, but if the Hanna McKinley support is given to Sher man they will probably do some talk ing that will not he enjoyed either by Boss Hanna or Mr. McKinley and they may not confine their animosity to talk. The Republican majority in the next House will not be large and a few vigorous kickers can make lots of trouble for those in charge of the administration programme. Senator Pettigrew, who has been traveling extensively since Congress adjourned, is now in Washington. He said of his observation of the po litical situation: '-Bryan will be nom inated by acclamation. His nomi - nation cannot be prevented. I spent several weeks traveling through the South and talked with people in the small towns. In every State, and es pecialy in Louisia- 's and Texas, I found the sentiment or Bryan over -whelming. Members of the Board of Trade of New Orleans were not favorable to him, but out in the coun try districts Bryan's name was men tioned with the highest praise. In South Dakota anid the Nor-thwesi there is the same feeling. I believe, too, that half of the delegation from .New York will be for Bryan. You .know they elect delegates by Con 'gressional districts in New York, and - that will insure the expression of the :sentiment of the peolple." The Sena tor expressed the opinion that the populists would hold the first Nation .al Convention next year, and would nominate Bryan. Speaking of the -letter of the Governor of South Da .kota, asking for the discharge of .the volunteers from that State, .and of the Philippine policy, Sen ator Pettigrew said: "In his letter to President McKinley, Governor Lee correctly represented the senti ment of the people of our state. I consider the life of one of the brave boys from South Dakota as worth mnore than all the Filipinos living. There is no justification for killing these people anyway. The posses sion of these islands .worth but little from any point of view; we can' make much out of a race whose labor is paid at the rate of 4 cents ai day. Our entire policy regarding them is -wrong, and though men who oppose it are denounced as traitors, I believe the time will soon come when they will be looked upon as the true pa triots." Democrats are hoping that Alger's announcement of his candidacy for the Senate will have the administra tion endorsement. The legislature which will elect Senator .McMillan's successor will not be elected until the fall of 1900, and if Alger beco'mes the -(dminist ration candidate for the Sen :t ,it will largely increase demnocra~tic chances for carr-ying Xlichigan' for the National ticket.

The "changed circumstances" are believed to have been brought about by M'dillan's failure to secure a big diplomatic plum, which Alger made him believe. was in Lis reach, for the express pur pose of getting him to declare that he would not be a candidate for re election to the Serate. The designation by Senator Jones, previous to his departure for Europe, where he goes for his health, of Mr. J. G. Johnson, Nationsl Conmittee man from Kansas, to take charge of the affairs of the Democratic Nation al Committee during the absence of Senator Jones, its chairman, and Mr. Walsh, its Secretary, means that there will be no change in the policy of the committee, as Mr. Johnson has teen one of Ser.ator Jones' right hand men ever since he became chairman of the committee.
