OUR CENTENNIAL.

Hearty Congratulations Waited
Over the Sea From Great Brit
ain.
We should lose ourselves in vast
labyrinth of Opulent arithmetic; we
should dazzle our gaze with facts and
figures too scintillating for sObriety, if
we attempt to compare the republic of
George Washington with that which,
under President Harrison. jOyOuSly
celebrates it's hundredth birthday, with
twenty miles Of shipping in one process
sion and seven miles OF soldiery and
Telegraph. Enough that for English
men the uprlse of this kin
dred people, and the assured adj
vance which is predestined for
them in the near future, must be a cause
of rejoicing and pride. Too strong to
fear each other, the two nations are too
close in blood and character to have any
need for mutual fiattery. The spread
ing over the North American continent
of the race which we sent forth, which
talks our language and reads our Bible
and our Shakespeare, is part of the his
tory of England. and may some day
prove its most glorious, happy and
fruitful portion. Observe at Berlin. in
the Samoan convention, that the Ian
language used by diplomacy for the first
time is English-the result OF Ameri-
cans coming into European politics.

Listen, again. to the unforgotten echo
of those cheers which the American
sailors of the Trenton gave at Apia to
Capt. Kane and the queens ship CALI
ope! We can forgive good many po-
litical lodges, and delays over fishing
treaties, in view of such demonstrations.
From no quarter of the globe, therefore,
will heartier congratulations go over the
sea to the United States upon this CEN
tenary than from Great Britain. If it is
looking too tar forward to say that we
wish our American kinsmen many happy
returns of the century. we may, at least,
cordially desire that A. D. 1899 may find
them celebrating a progress proportion
ately as wonderful and prosperity as
firmly founded as those which to-day fill
the bright atmosphere of New York with
the waving of multitudinous star
Spangled banners.

consin, the other day. Rev. E. II. SMITH,
a Congregational pastor at Oshkosh,
barely escaped condemnation in the
church council. 1t was conceded by
his advocates that he rejected the pri-
mary inspiration of the Bible, as we'll
as the doctrine of atonement by the
suffering and death Of Christ, and does
not believe in eternal punishment as
taught in the creed; but it was insisted
that he had the company of the leading
journal of the denomination and the
theological seminaries of Andover and
Yale. and that the heart of the denOm-
ination beat in unison with him. It
was decided to let him go on, although
a motion prevailed asserting that he
was out of line with the creed. This
would have been evident without any
resolution. The SMITH family is a
large one. and it is not surprising vat
some of them should try to bring it into
notice.

regarded as the great highway of the
future-the mighty commercial artery
connecting the East and the West. But
long since it became comparatively
unimportant means of traffic, and was
chiefly of service to few mills and the
political workers, as it afforded the lat
ter good deal of patronage. The canal
will not probably be repaired, as the
railroads have long since rushed past 1t.
There was no enthusiast in the period
when the canals of the country were
being constructed who ever conceived
the possibility of their being superseded
by other commercial methods. They
serve to note the developments of the
past half-century.

the Kindergarten Association
Will Continue the Good Work.
The annual meeting for the election
OF officers and directors of the st. Paul
Kindergarten association was held yes
terday afternoon at the headquarters,
AL East Ninth street. Reports were
read by the secretary and treasurer, the
former dealing with the progress made
in kindergarten work during the past
year and its prospects for the ensuing
twelve months. The report of the treas
urer showed the financial condition of
the school system to be prosperous, and
in rec ipt of continually Increasing pub
lie attention and assistance. The ex-
penditure for the year, during which
several branch schools have been estab-
now a balance in the treasury of S937.S3.
The old officers were reelected and in
stalled, and with great reciprocal celeri-
ty the newly-elected officers proceeded
with the reelection OF the old board of
directors. The officers are:
E. G. Mitchell, president; R. Hall, vice
president; Mrs. May Allen, second vice
president; Mrs. EstabrOok. secretary; Miss
Ludden, treasurer; directors, Mrs. A. E.
y,
DIR. Schifman, Mrs. William Constans, Miss
Houiton. Miss Anderson, Mrs. j. j. Rogers.
Mrs. F. E. Wright and Mrs. r. M. Newport
The excellence of the kindergarten
system of education was in some meas
ure demonstrated by the recent exhibit
ton of the children's work at the cham
Der Of commerce. which has awakened
a lively interest in the association and
it's methods. A plan has been brought
almost to completion for the establish
ment of new branch school on the BO-
istence in Swede Hollow, West st. Paul,
and the Relief society's hall are being
most successfully maneged by Misses
McCrae, Winterbotham and Henderson,
respectively. President Mitchell has
been for some time in correspondence
with Miss Mary s. Clarke, of the La
Porte, Ind, training school, looking
with the view of securing her services
in conducting training school for kim
dergarten teachers in this city. 1t was
announced at this meeting that Miss
Clark had communicated her intention
of coming at once to st. Paul for the
purpose named. About twenty young
ladies will take course of instruction
under Miss Clarke, and have made
applications to that end. A resolution
of sympathy was passed for Miss Nc
Craze, who has been called suddenly
from the city by the death of her moth
er, the school of which she had charge
having been closed for the remainder of
the term. 1t is the intention to largely
extend the system of kindergarten
schools in this city during the ensuing
year, there being IN addition to the Bo-
hemian flats scheme, move toward
the establishment of a school on Good
rich avenue.

GOING 700 FAR.

Of course the prohibition champions
are entitled to credit for good intentions
and desire to eliminate hurtful agen-
cies, but it is singular fact that they
never have any interest in reducing the
deleterious effects of the liquors used,
by preventing adulteration. This is not
the line of philanthropy or solicitude
for the public health, but people who
become absorbed in a single idea are
quite apt to be peculiar. 1t is absurd
and fanatical to insist that the evils Of
the drink habit should be made as great
as possible to provoke reformatory
revulsion. 1t savors of the intolerant
eras when men were converted by the
sword or torture. and the unreclaimed
put to death. Humanity and true re-
ligion don't travel such roads.

will doubtless be some little time before
Mr.. BLAINE can make a dicker for
Cuba, it is best, perhaps, to hurry up
the beet, and see what can be made of
it. France and Germany get all their
sugar out of it, and it is said that some
of the beets of this country have good

THE late legislature in Illinois was
inclined to discourage phase of the
chattel mortgage business. 1t enacted
prohibition of mortgages on growing
crops, and required all chattel liens to
be foreclosed in open court. This will
disturb very lucrative industry which
had grown up in that state, and is not
entirely unknown elsewhere. The
fellows who loaned money at big figures

up the matter by quietly taking the
property AMI making no disturbance
about it, This was good for the loaner,
