"Of course any American worthy of the name muit stand behind the President in hia resolute purpose to bring the Insurrection in the Phillipplnes to an end. I have no question that by the beginning of the dry season, Gen. Otis will be in shape to stamp ont all resistance. Then the President can and will see that the reign of absolute law and justice follows. It cannot be too clearly kept in mind that the whole trouble 1s due to the men who for two months prevented the ratification of the treaty of peace, and to tlioae who declined to give the President the troops he needed upon the terms he asked. Those who took part in the first movement to oppose the treaty have on their souls the guilt of most of the bloodshed, both in our own troops and that of the natives of the Phlllippines; and the would-be traitors who have since been encouraging Aguinaldo and his followers to the limit of their small capacity, share the guilt so far as their feeble powers permit." Roosevelt is made of the right kind of material, and his vigorous words ought to cause those simperinv little souls who are whining and snuffling about the war in the Philippines to hide their diminished heads in shame and confusion. Governor Roosevelt, of New York, was in Washington the other day, where he was called in consultation with the President relative to the army appointment* made necessary by the call for more troops.

Tears of happiness rose to her eyes. She threw her arms around him and kissed him, and then she sobbed: ' Ah, darling, I knew you wonld do so.

"But now our Ship of States, la pirate hand, Incarnadines the water In Its wake!" This is quite enough to give an idea of the quality of Mr. Garrison's sonnets. His poetry is of the forcible-feeble sort that might be inspired by tea in the back parlor over a copy of the Boston Evening Transcript. He is equally devoid of hnmor and of imagination. He might write nine hundred sonnets instead of nine without stirring one deluded sonl to the point of going to the Philippines and enlisting under Aguinaldo to shoot down American soldiers. It is the intention that is damnable. Mr. Garrison calls his pamphlet "The Nation's Shame," It is indeed a disgrace to the nation that It thould contain among lta seventy-five millions of inhabitants one person capable of the performance in which William Lloyd Garrison apparently glories. "Should the great Nazarene once more appear This Raster morning and from pious lips Defence of rapine and of murder bear,— Pleae for foul dee (la that Freedom's light eclipse,— Straight would his burst of soorn false temples clear, His words Indignant scourge like scorpion whips." And in theSonuet "Abased" he refers to the President as a "pirate": To the Christian pulpit of America he addresses these verses: "Take heart and comfort if thy soul be sad; Not lost nor wasted thy heroic stand; Thou hast unmasked a nation falsely clad I n altruistic garb, revealed a land Blind to distinctions between good and bad, And smiting Liberty with ruthless hand." Having pilloried William McKlnley in black letters on the scroll of lasting shame, Mr. Garrison lays hla tribute of heartfelt admiration at the feet of the Intriguing politician, whose treachery and selfish ambition have coat the lifeblood of hundreds of our brave soldiers. Agulnaldo he clasaea with Tonasaint, Bozzaria and Kosciusko; and be sends him this message to encourage him in shooting dead the men who carry the American flag: "Here Ilea the patriot* of the Philippines, Murdered to satisfy a nation's creed." Nor shall he dedicate the libel to the nation of whose honored Chief Magistrate he permits himself to say, in the sonnet entitled "William McKlnley": "Whether as tool or tyrant History's pen Upon the nation's scroll of lasting shame Hhall pillory in letters black thy name. Time can alone adjudge." Here is Mr. Garriaon's first mistake. He should not speak of this conntry as his conntry. He should not dedicate his sonnets to a nation which he accuie* on the very next page, speaking as an Aguinaldian, of wholesale murder for the sake of greed. "Since they who hold the 'faculty divine.' Bereft of vision or In ablect thrall, Use not their glorious gift at Freedon's call, Accept thir humble gift, O country mine!" The Aguinaldian sonnets of Mr. William Moyd Garrison of Boston, have been collected and issued by the author in a small pamphlet. We have beeu favored with a copy. We shall keep it, for the little libel will have distinct interest and value as a curiosity long after Retribution has caught up with both Aguinaldo and his laureate. It will be observed that Mr. Garrison has produced nine sonnets on the subject of Aguinaldo's greatness and America's degradation. He began writing the first sonnet on March 10 and finished the last on June I, which is at the rate of one sonnet every nine and one-third days, including Sundays and holidays. His poem) explains that he has been impelled to aid and abet with sonnet Auglnaldo's rebellion because all the real poets are silent, being either blind fools or trucklers:[New York Sun.] Cheap Coal Lands.
