of of of of of of LEBANON DAILY NEWS, THURSDAY EVENING MARCH 6, 1902 AN INVESTIGATION Should be Made of the Alleged Philip Cruelties. All the senators and representatives who care for the honor of our ment should urge and insist that an an. durative investigation be made the charges of cruelty against the nutives of the Philippines witteh have brought in various poblientions and various alleged witnesses against our soldiers and auxiliaries there. Such an investigation could be properly cartied on only by a special committee of congress. on whieh the minority in hoth houses should be liberally represented, 1r the people shall realize the volume of testimony that is now parently offered.

this will not be slow to dewand. a war that will brook no evusion or denial, that the whole truth be laid bare and that if any crinios against hare been they he punished in an emplary manner. It is dithcult to believe that Amerien officers and soldiers can have perbritted the atrocities which in many letters and verbal statements are toscribed as having taken place; much less is it credible that they should hare taken port in them. We shall hot accept the charges as even probable unJess fully proven through honest and competent investigation. But it must he owned that a prima facie case of some weight seems to hare been presented.

Allowance, of course. must he for the demoralizing effect of the war that is being waged in the Philippines contrary to the principles of human liberty and our noblest political traditious. That the better sensi-1 bilities of some of our soldiers have been dulled, if not deadeued by their service there, should not be surprising. There can be nothing lost by. al fair investigation of the military service in Philippines.

We do not believe that the majority of even the imperialistle senators aud representatives would willingly cover up snch atrocities as have beeu charged, if they exist. The investigation, In event, would doubtless bring before the people of the Unitel States many facts connected with administration of affairs in archipelago which they ougut to know. -Phila.

Farmer Fuller, who lives near Arnrat, is telling his friends about a most peculiar and exciting experience he had ove last week and proof of this he exhibits the skin of a monsnake, that was one of the prinvipal actors in the episode. say's the Susquehanna correspondent of the Scranton Tribune. Fuller had made a trade with a Burnwood man, and, hitching up his new Bled, went to the edge ol the swamp after a load of word.

The borse developed some 1111- experted traits, otte of which was propensity to balk, and Fuller jumped from the sled to ent a TIE HE FUND. Near the rondway lie found what seemul tu De al tree branch that be thought Would answer his purpose. Grabbing it with both hands, he helabored the balky. horse, and finally, after ten minutes of hand labor, induced the horse to more on. Getting back into the sled he kid the "gad" at his feet In the folds of the blanket, rendy tor use if the horse should balk He had gone but 8 little ways when he thought he saw the "gad" move.

HIe looked at. it closely and daterted signs of lite. Becoming thoroughly interested, Mr. Fuller looked. mOT el sply and discorered what he bad in cu using as a horsewbip was in reality a huge blackenake, and before it got life enough in it to become troublesome he killed it by beating its head against the edge of the lox.

HOW IT HAPPENED. The ove warm day that prevailed last week had beguiled the snake frow its winter quarters, and in moving about the swamp it was caught by the sudden freeze before it could get back to its hole. It was frozen as stiff as stick when Fuller picked it up to beat his horse with, but the warmth of his hands, the violent swinging in. the air. the contact with the horses body, and later the warm nest in the sled blauket thawed it out just enough to wake it move so that Fuller's attention was called to it.

The skin shows that the snake would have been fully seven feet in length and nine inches around the body. Headache often results from a disordered condition of the stomach and constipation of the bowels. A dose or two of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will correct these disorders and cure the headache. Sold at Dr. Kline's and Addison Bowers' drug store, Myerstown, and all other drug stores.

Berlin, March is felt here that the fight of Prince Henry through the United States is nOW drawing to a close without any untoward incident, for notwithstanding Emperor William's entire confidence as to the safety of Prince Henry, others in authority have had misgivings that some Polish fanatic in Chicago, wrought up over the conflicts and national feeling in Polish Prussia, might attempt something violent. The prestige of Prince Henry has been immensely increased in Germany by the impression be has made upon the Americans. His behavior In the United States is looked upon here as natural, dignified and happily adapted to the character of the Americans.

After his return home the prince will probably be entrusted with a larger sbare in public affairs, the impression being that Emperor William will find something else of first importance for him to do.

A SPECIOUS ARSUMENT Made by President Roosevelt in the Schley Controversy. One feature of the President's decision DIE the coutroversy requires notice for the light it throws on the Induences that produced that document, It is proper to oliverve that the President goes farthe: than any man yet has done who is connected with the administration, character fu recognizing sotue of the features of the nffair. He does this signally in pointing ont that it Schiry had been guilty of really conduct, Sampson not to have left bim 119 the ought senior officer of the socalrent ou the 3rd of July, when he(SumpRon) steamed away on his proped errand of communication with General In this sentence and what precedes it the President comes close to the vital point of the whole matter, namely, that the attack on Schley that it was was entirely 211 after-thought: evoked auger at the prominene.

It is in this effort to reconcile Dis perception of nome of the truths with the saring of the face of the navy department that the President's deelsion is wenkest. Altogether it is clearly apparent to the nation that the worthy Prestdent. while presenting some undisputed points on- behalf et-the the decision of the country's highest captains.
