A Popular Hero. Gen. Hector MaoDonald, who baa been severely wounded in the Orange Free State, is to tbe-London multitude the man of the war. The public surrounds him With a halo oz beroi8m. It considers bim lion-hearted, invincible, and above all, one of its body, for MacDonald is a self- made man.
i The populace talks of hira prondlv as having been a draper's assistant. The people tell one another of how when he occupied a minor position in an Inverness establishment he was fired with enthusiasm of the martial order and how he learned his drills There from a Mr. Mattie, a retired corporal; bow be worked btmself to perfection in. drill, tactics and manceavers, then started out and enlisted in the ranks. So when the newspapers came out announcing in flaring type that "Fight ing Mac" was severely wounded, the man in the street was much distressed.
When the Boers wounded "Fighting Mao" tbey hart the British pablie keenly, for they disabled the people's man. Gen. Hector MacDonald recently suc ceeded to the command of the Highland Brigade in place of Gen. A. G.

General Roberts and his staff had been ambushed at that time, and it was the bravery of MacDonald and his men that saved Roberts. I MacDonald fought at Saakim in 1889, and was at the capture of Tokar in 1892. He knows the Transvaal well, having been in the fearful battle of Majuba Hill in the previous Boer War.
The Boers spared bim there because tbey said be was too brave to be killed. Later he was with the Egyptian army in the reconquest of the Soudan. Mac-Donald's brigade played a great part in the battle of Omdurman. When he returned home his countrymen presented him many swords of honor. Recently MacDonald was given a command in India, with the rank of brigadier general.
He left that com mand to take np his present one. To begin as a plain Gordon Highlander and at 4G to be chief of the Highland Bri gade is surely a romance of war.

Files of London newspapers of late dates received here have been read with exceeding interest by members or Dotn nouses ot congress, as showing the marked difference between both the theory and the practice of tbe ex ecutive departments of Great Britain and the United States. In theory Great Britain. isa monarchical government and the United States is a democratic government. In practice precisely the reverse appears to be the case. The contrast is made most striking in the conduct of the two governments in the Philippine and the Boer wars.
From the first it bas been worse than extracting eve teeth to obtain any in formation from the administration of President McKinley as to the motives. purposes and policy of the government in the Philippine war. The president in speech and in writing has again and again declared it is for congress to prescribe the method of conducting the war and the policy to be pursued. PRESIDENT SUITS HIMSELF. Yet he goes right on managing ev erything to suit himself, and taking progressive and radical steps with contemptuous disregard of the views of congress or of public opinion.
Every effort to obtain intelligence throw ing light on the action of tbe admin istration is met with determined opposition from its henchmen in the two houseB. Resolutions of inquiry which have finally been pushed through are an swered partially or completely ignored. Weeks ago the president was asked by the senate to send in certain documents bearing upon the campaign in the Philippines, and the earlier cordial and co-operative relations with Agui-naldo. This could have been answered in 24 hours, but it is still unanswered. Members of congress are constantly clamoring for this intelligence.
The public press of the United States daily calls on the administration in vain for the instructions issued to General Merritt which caused such a sudden change in his attitude. NO SUCH SECRECX IN ENGLAND. As the London newspapers show, it is so on the other side of the water. Columns and columns are taken up with the report of the replies made by cabinet ministers in the house of lords and the house of commons to all sorts of inquiries as to the causes which led to the war, the conduct of it and the plans and purposes of the government. So free and unrestrained have been the statements of Lord Salisbury and his associates that the newspapers have taken them severely to task for it and insisted they should refuse to disclose so much information.
And vet there are yellow journals in Great Britain just as in this country. Under our constitution congress only can declare war," but after the declaration has once been made there seems no restriction of the absolute power of the president to carry it on just as long as it pleases him and in whatever manner it suits him. In the house of lords and in the house of commons the cabinet minis ters have explained and defended and palliated in response to tbe badgering of the most obscure members. ANSWER QUESTIONS FREELY. Asked why they did not do this or that, they have replied they' were fearful of trenching urxn the British constitution and were in dotrbt as to their lawful authority.
We have heard no such talk as this from the executive branch of our government. It is almost incredible, but it is a fact that the influential press of England is berating Lord Salisbury and his government from being overscrupulous. The example of the United States is held up to him, and he is advised in so many words to "follow American precedent." One of the oldest of the London periodicals and one of commanding influence tells him what the United States has done, and insists he shall go and do likewise. He is admonished that had he followed American practice he would have taken responsibility, not wasted precious time in discussing constitutional and legal technicalities and made his explanations after it was all over. But the people of the United States don't even get explanations after it is all over.
The president of the United States and his cabinet are infinitely more removed from the legislature and the people than are the Queen of Great Britain and her cabinet.

OA finefigisre The reader's attention is asked to the remarkable article on the effects of the late Alaskan earthquake, which Professor Hallock sends us; and to the article "Monarchy and Republic," which, by the way, confirms what has been so often pointed out, in past yearB, by the Obsibvzr. Thi Situation la South Africa. The excellent Baltimore San Rives this review of the situation: in South Africa op to Friday morning: wmie lienerai jxoDerts, with an overwhelming force, succeeded with little difficulty in raising the siege of Kimherley and, as events' will probably show, the siege of Ladysmitb as -well, he has as yet obtained no additional advantages, although those which he has gained are quite substantial. There has been, however, no collapse of Boer resistance, no demoralizing disintegra tion of their forees, and it is plain that General Roberts' march to Btoemfon- tein will be stabbornly resisted. Dispatches from General Roberts received at the War Office in London yesterday indicate that there has been fierce fighting between the British forces and Gtneral Crooje's army, with heavy losses on both sides.
General Roberts advises the War Office that "after a carefnl reeonnoissance in force, of the enemy's position he was satisfied that he eould not assanlt it without very heavy loss, wb'uh he is anxions to avoid." Accordingly he decided to bombard the Boer position and, as he adds significantly, to "turn his attention to the enemy's reinforcements." Other dispatches state that Crooje's foioe is -apparently hemmed in. The situation might be changed, however, if the Boers sbonld concentrate a large army in the Orange Free State and attack General Roberts. If General Jonbert's army, which has been besieging Ladysmitb, is with drawn and sent to the Orange Free State, the Boers, although outnumbered will be able to oppose a strong force to General Roberts' advance. General Roberts reports that on Tuesday he captured some Boer prisoners, who said they had come from Ladysmitb two days before. The gradual retirement of the Boers from Ladysmitb thns accounts for the slight resistance which General Bailer has encountered in his fourth attempt to relieve that beleagared town.
Apparently the Boers have concluded to abandon Ladysmitb, and when their forees have been withdrawn from Northern Cape Colony, as well as Natal, the scene of opera tions will be shifted from British territory to Dutch territory and, according to Dr. Leyds, the Boer diplomatic representative in Europe, the war will have just begun. Assuming that General Roberts final ly forces the surrender ofCroDje's army and takes Bloemfontein, he will have a long and difficult mareh to make before he reaches Pretoria. Bloemfon tein is the capital of the Orange Free State, and the British are probably counting upon the moral effect of its occupation upon the Datob of the Or ange Free State, President Kruger's allies. Bat the Datch have doubtless discounted the loss of Bloemfontein and are preparing to make a desperate resistance to the invasion of the Transvaal and the siege of Pretoria, its capital.
With the immense army which ill be required to operate successfully against the Boer forces in the Trans- vaal General Roberts will find it exceedingly difficult to protect his line of communications. The British, it is stated, are counting upon the- coHap8e of Boer resistance and overtures for peace as soon as the invasion of their territory satisfies the Dutch republics that the war will be prosecuted regardless of the cost. There is no reason to believe, however, that this rosy view is justified. The Dutch republics have sustained no serious reverses as yet. For over four months they have made war in British territory, and althongh they have not accomplished what they set out to do they have made their ene mies pay an enormous "butcher's bill." They have failed, on the other band.

It may be that the quarter of the Dingley rates proposed to be charged npon imports to Puerto Rico and exports from it will meet the immediate commercial needs of the island as well as the abolition of the tariff altogether as to that island.

The Baltimore Sun well reveals the actual state of the case in the following ar ticle: The Democratic leader, Mr.
Rich ardson, in opening the discussion on Monday on his side upon the pending Puerto Rlcan Tariff bill said that, while not an alarmist, in his deliberate judgment the pending bill was more fraught with clanger to the liberties of the American people tban any other measure ever before seriously presented to tbe American Congress, and that "it will prove more far-reaching in its provisions and disastrous in the results that must of necessity follow if it should be enacted into law than any act ever passed by Con gress." What the Republican party understands by a "great debate" npon a measure involving the life or death of the Republic and tbe little importance attached by it to the need of either discussion or deliberation in such a crisis of the country's fate is best shown by the proposition oi Mr. Payne, the. Republican leader, in moving to take up the consideration of the bill, that general debate should close next Saturday, the bill to be further discussed under the five-minute rule on Monday morning and the final vote to be taken at 2 clock p. m. One week held long enough to debate the ques tion whether this country is to be henceforth a republic or an empire whether we shall continue to live un der the Constitution framed by Wash ington and the men of his day or enter upon a new and dazzling career unhampered by the restriction of any written constitution, entrusting -our future destinies to tbe discretion of McKinley the First, Mark Hanna and a Republican Congress One would think that such a question merited a little more consideration than Mr.
Pa ne would accord to it. Happily and this is the one and only consideration left the last word upon the sub ject does not rest with Congress. The American people next November at the polls will have it in their power not only to reverse any decision upon the subject the present Congress may make, but by the election of a new President and a new Congress make the present reign of McKinley Repub licanism seem hereatter like a hideous nightmare and a horrible dream. The Republican leaders themselves do not pretend to disguise the import- tant bearing which tbe aotion of Congress npon the pending bill cannot fail to have npon tbe eomiog residential election. It involves directly theques tion whether the Island of Paerto Kico, territory belonging to the United States," is within tbe protection of the Federal Constitution or not, and whether the power of "regulation" over such territory given by the Constitution to Congress is a power which most be exercised subject to the limitations of that instrument or not.
Neces sarily tbe same question must arise with reference to Hawaii and the Philippines. It does not follow that if Congress enacts a 25 per cent, tariff, as proposed by tbe pending bill, for Paerto Rico it must enact a similar tariff for Hawaii or the Philippines. Just tbe contrary. The proposition which, by the' passage of the pending bill, the Republican leaders hope to establish is that Con gress has the absolute power and dis cretion to do what it pleases with its own. It may frame one tariff and one form of government and one code of laws for Puerto Rico and another and a very different one for Hawaii or the Philippines.
No clearer statement 01 the Republican position in this respect can be found than is furnished by Mr. McKinley himself in his recent interview with Mr. L. Nelson, already re ferred to in Tbe San. Says Mr.
Nelson: "Mr. MeKinley holds that the Con stitution only applies to a territory when it is set up there by a treaty or by Upon this point there are authorities in his favor, but he goes beyond the authorities and holds that Congress is not bound by the limitations of the Constitution when it enters th task of legislating; i. tf may refuse tou the natives and to the American citizens tcw may go to our colonies the right of jury trial the right of free speech, the right to baar arms, the right of peaceable assemablage and of petition, freedom from unwarrant able arrest, frerirm from s.rcn ail those rights which the Constitution guards so This is the monstrous doctrine lor wnton tne lvepuoiicans seek to establish a Congressional precedent by the passage of the pending bill, and for the discussion of which they are willing' to concede a whole week of the time which belongs to Mr. Mark Hanna his Subsidy bill, his Nic aragua bill and kindred jobs. It is gratifying to hear Mr.
Richard son announce that when "the roll cornea to be called on tbe passage of the bill not a solitary Democrat in that chamber will be recorded in its favor. All will stand by the Union and the Con stitution." With the support of the Administration the Republican leaders count upon passing tbe bill by some thing less than their usual majority. In the Senate it would seem that there is one at least, formerly classed as a Democrat, who is likely to vote, with the Republicans, In the course of a desultory debate in that body 00 Monday Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, is reported to have declared himself "in clined to the opinion" that tbe Constitution could be extended or withheld at pleasure from aca aired territory. When asked bv Senator Vest whether Chief Justice Marshall had not decided that 'wherever the jurisdiction and author ity of the United States extended the Constitution also extended," Senator Lindsay replied that he did not think that the entire constitutional interpretation of the future ought to be based upon Chief Justice Marshall's decision.

E. Sedberrj Sons, Display of Seismic Fewer the Bas Seldom Beon. Scien'ifie American. For weeks preceding the violent vol canie eruption in the Island of Hawaii severe admonitory earthquakes were felt all along the western shores of the North American continent from the Isthmus of Panama to Paget sound. Along the coast of California numerous shocks of uncommon severity oodurred aod cod tinned until the outbreak of Mauna Loa on the morning of Jaly 4 last, when they appeared to subside.
lne quietness was only temporary, however, though the scene of disturb anoe was transferred from equatorial to arctic latitudes. Alaska was the theatre for a display of seismio power such as the world has sefdom witness ed, which, had it happened in regions less remote or had been populated by others than a few scattered bands of aborigines, would have been a catastrophe at which the world would have grown pale at the bare recital. Fortunately the dreadful upheaval bad witnesses among white men, and what would have been an incident of horror to be preserved among the traditions pf a few terror stricken Indians was carefully observed by men whose pro bity places their recital beyond, the suspicion of a donbt. The effects of the shocks were noticed far at sea by navigators, from which the enormous extent of the disturbance can be easily calculated. The Puget-sound country was coin, cidently shaken, and from all accounts it would appear that with Mount St.
Elias as a centre the region affected by the shocks was fully 4.000 miles in diametre. The effect has been to permanently change the contour of portions of the Alaska coast. Many well- known islands have been swallowed np and others risen in their places. Land marks well defined and known to every navigator of the coast have disappeared, and every glacier from Jonean and vicinity, including all those known to tourists in Glacier bay and elsewhere, have suffered mutilation, which de stroyed their wondrous beauty and leveled their mighty ramparts for thousands of feet back from the sea. In the Northwest territory volcanoes are reported to have been seen in ranges where they were never before observed.
Paget sound was violently shaken, and in tbe distant islands of the Alaska archipelago severe earthquake shocks excited intense alarm. Along the coast near Mount St. Elias the upheaval was accompanied i by huge and deyasting water spouts, while enormous tidal waves rushed in from the sea with overwhelming power. Great rocks fell from the sides of tbe mountains and crashed into the valleys below. The earth moved with the awful velo city and undulation of tbe waves of tbe sea, shaking mountains from their bases and prostrating the huge forests that covered their slopes.
The date of the earthquake was Sep tember 10, though warning shocks had been felt for some previous. Three, white men were prospecting on the shores of Disenchantment bay, which lies at the foot of Mount St. Eliaa and contains the great Hubbard glacier, which has been observed only by scien tists and explorers, lying, as it does, far beyond the route of tourists and about 50 miles west of Yakutat bay. The prospectors were eamped on a ridge separating a large water lake from the ocean. A violent shock threw down the obstruction and tbe great flaod from tbe lake swept down tbe band, carrying the three men along with it.
Concur rently, a great tidal wave swept into the bay, which washed the men back again and left them high and dry npon tbe side of a mountain. They describe the oscillation of tbe earth as terrific, and were witnesses to the destruction of tbe whole front of Hubbard glacier, with its face of solid ioe extending several hundred feet above the tide. For a mile from the sea the glacier was fractured and thrown in the bay. The men fled to Yakutat bay, 50 miles distant, and reached that point after a journey beset with peril. At Yakutat bay Rev.
Sheldon Jackson, educational superintendent ot Alaska, happened to be visiting. He graphically describes the tremendous convulsions accompanying the shocks, the undulating shores as the earth wave swept back and forth, together with enormous tidal waves which rushed into tbe bay and were engulfed in the crevasses which opened along tbe shores. The terror inspired among the Indians at tbe Yakutat mis sion was unspeakable, though no lives were lost. i The most disastrous and permanent effect of the earthquake is seen among tbe glaciers, Foster glacier, near Jan-eaa, has had its beauty almost destroy ed. All that portion of it fronting on Taku inlet, which the sun had sculptured into wondrous and enchanting forms, bas been thrown into tbe sea, and rum or asserts every glacier on Glacier bay, including tbe Great Muir, bas suffered the same catastrophe.
Tourists in Alaska can never forget their first im Fressions of the mighty Muir glaoier. extends landward for over 40 miles, a frozen river with over twenty lateral branches. It fronts npon the sea for two miles and a half, a wall of ice from 200 to 300 feet in height. Soundings give it a depth of 7o0 feet below tbe tide, so that from base to summit it is 1,000 feet high. From this wall of ice every minute there drops into the sea 45,000 tons of ice, or every day no less than cubic feet.
Reports are that the whole front of the Muir glacier and extending back for a mile has been oast into the sea.

Wilmington Messenger; Governor Goebel was so warred upon, so maligned, so bitterly accused by tbe northern press and some of its im itators in the south, that all men with a proper sense of humanity and jus tice must be interested in the multi plying evidence from western newspapers of his high character and very marked abilities.
The Messenger gave recently what the old democratic Cincinnati Enquirer said of him, and what distinguished Kentuckiamj said of him. His crime was he was a people's man first and last. He brought upon himself maledictiona of newspapers owned and controlled by ene mies of the people. The Houston (Texas) Daily Post says pertinently: "As the character of William E. Goebel comes to be studied, in the presence of his matyrdom and under the flashlight of public indignation, it is known to be that of a man whose only offense against the dangerous trend of his time was that he stood fearlessly and ably for the cause of the common people against the chicanery and greed of corporate power.
The press of the country far and wide has come to recognize this significant truth." The leading democratic paper in Il linois is probably the Chicago Chron icle. Recently it said this of that re markable man who was of gigantic type and wondrously self-contained: "The personality of the late William E. Goebel, the assassinated governor of Kentucky, was strong and peculiar. At the age of 38 years he had acquired a power in the politics and public affairs of that state as great as was wielded by Henry Clay sixty years ago. It was not the power of a It was that which comes to a great man, attracted by his genius and his natural gift to lead mankind.
"His character was most exemplary. He did not smoke nor drink. In all respects his private life was absolutely pure. He was unmarried, but his name had never been touched by scandal. In a State of hereditary gamblers, he did not gamble, and he procured the passage of a law making gambling a felony.
Though not college bred, his abilities and legal learning were such that he had been selected by two ot the greatest lawyers in the State Stevenson and Carlisle as their partner. At the time of his death his law practice was worth $25,000 a year. He dressed plainly and lived in a quiet home at Covington." It tells how and why he was so bitterly, angrily, denunciatively opposed. He antagonized wrong in all of its forms. He stood grandly by the people and opposed trusts and.
combines and great monopolies of all kinds. That doomed him. He must be got rid of some how for he was in their way. His bravery, his open fight, his individual manhood and force brought upon him destruction. i- Climblrg Into tho Band Wagon.
Danville Register. As the weeks pass and the future unfolds its unanticipated disclosures, the opposition to Sir. Bryan as the Democratic candidate for the presidency becomes feebler until it has been almost completely silenced. The chief opposition to him from any source has been a hostility to the policy of independent bimetalism. to the support of which ha is unalterably committed.
So long as it seemed possible that he wonld be beaten for the nomination, or that. if nominated he wonld ignore the silver issue, every effort was made to discredit free coinage and finally to discredit its chief champion. Not only have aH these efforts failed, but! events upon a world-wide stage have strengthened the bimetallic cause irnmeasurably by sustaining the claims of its advocates. As if tha logic of events were not sufficient, the Republicans have done all they could to promote the cause of Bryan and bimetallism by forcing npon the country a bill fastening upon the people a gold standard with all the opportunities it offers for evil. All that is in direct conflict with the Republican campaign pledges and with the attitude taken by all its orators upon the stamp, and is a confession that these pre-election pledges and promises were insincere, hypocritical and all for political profit.
It will be hard to explain to the people these violated 1 promi-ises, this deliberate deception. A clause providing for international bimetalism is the merest inockery of the people, who demand resalte now, not idle promises and vague hypothetical pledges, i The cause of bimetalism and the leadership of Mr. Bryan are more powerful today than they have ever been.
