careful judge. This shelves him as all
able leader in politics-but, our best
wishes, Judge Coil.

Prof. Burgess, OF Columbia College, in
his recently published work entitled
"Statecrait," deals forceiully with Il
problem i'll which the United States are
now concerned. In respect OF immigra-
ton Prof. Burgess says:
a state is not only following n sound public
policy, but one which IL cthuically obligatory
upon II. when il protects It's nationality against
the dcictcrious influences OF foreign immigra-
ton, " II cannot be demanded OF II state
that It sacrifice itself TO some higher good 1t
cannot fulfill It's mission in that way. 1t repre-
SCENTS itself the highest good. 1t is the highest
entity. The world Is us yet Onlyun idea. II can
give no pNSsportwlich n state Is bound 10 accept.
The dGty OF nstHtc to the world Is duty OF which
the state itself is the highest Interpreter The
highest duty of sIntc Is 10 preserve It's own cX-
istcncc. its own healthiul growth ind develop
Ihent. So long us foreign immigration con-
tributes TO these, II Il sound policy not only TO
permit but to cultivate 1t. On the other hand
when the national language, customs, and inStl-
lutOns begin 10 be endangered by immigration
then the time has come for the state 10 close the

corners into ethical harmony with the iundn.
menta! principles OF Its own individual life.
The writer uses the term state in the
the sense OF the national state, the
political entity which We call Il nation
His views are in harmony with prevail
ing sentiment, that this nation has the
highest right to protect itself against
hurtiul immigration. The same is true,
and Tor like reasons, OF the protection OF
labor sought through customs duties.
Both look to self-prescrvation.

One Thing He Couldn't Veto.

When Gen. Palmer was Governor
of Illinois, says the Chicago Times, he
exercised the veto power to about a.
great an extent as Mr.. Cleveland did
in his Presidential life. and, Of course,
he created a great deal Of harsh criti-
cism throughout the State. As a re
suit OF his continual exercise Of the
veto power the following story is told:
"At Jacksonville, Morgan county,
there happened to be a revival in
colored church, and an old negro,
jumping up, exclaimed: Use gwine
to go to heben. sho, sho; Use gwine to
90 to heben, shO. and thank the Lawd
Gov. Palmer can't veto datr An old
resident of Jacksonville happened 70
be in Springfield, and while at the
State House be told the story TO Gen.
Harlan, the Governors private sec
retarv. who was also his Adjutant-
General when he commanded the
ARMY of the Kentucky. He thought
it a fine story and said, Go in and
tell that to the Governor. The
narrator stepped into the Governors
Office and told it 10 him. The story
tickled the Governor, and, full OF
laughter, leaning back in his chair,
he said. Tell that again; tell that

A Canteen Of Coffee.

The name of the late Maj. Innis

death The chief owner OF the Amer
lean is Gen. Felix Agnus one OF the
most gallant soldiers In the federal
army during the war between the
States.
Gen. Agnus has had remarkable
career. He came TO this country
from France just before the opening
OF the civil war, and was employed at
Titrany's as sculptor. He caught
the war fever early, and enlisted in
regiment OF New York Zouaves with
nine other Frenchmen from the same
establishment He went in as high
private, and could not speak word
Of English, and came out OF the ser.
vice with the rank OF brigadier- gen
eral. He had no social or political
influence to push him ahead Three
Of the nine Frenchmen who enlisted
with Agnus were killed in their first
battle, three more at the second, aud
two more at the third, so Agnus is
the only survivor OF the nine. aud he
only escaped by the skin OF the teeth,
as the scars Of eleven bullet wounds
on his body will show.
At the third engagement, when his
last two French comrades were killed.
Gen. Agnus was himself desperately
wounded in the breast. Lying on
the ground in n semi-conscious condi
ton he heard "A fellow sufferer groan-
ing and calling for water. Agnu>,
with the blood gushing from his
breast, managed to toss him "A can.
teen containing coffee. This was
eagerly received, and after draining

Here is the sequel To the story.
Maj. Randolph, who died few years
ago, was a most accomplished man.
He was "A brilliant writer. sculptor
and musician. He became editor OF
the Baltimore Gazette, and when
that paper suspended, Agnus gave

Serenely on my thorny way
From year to year, from day TO day,
My steps are led by Guiding Hand,
From land TO sea, from sea to land.
I know, though molten heat be great
Who sits TO watch the liquid stste:
When His blest image falls within,
Then doth the Masters work begin.
He will not make the flame too strong,
He will not leave the flame too long;
NO fear have | OF furnace-hre,
Since what He wills most desire.
In all His words believe l must
For though He slay, in Him trust:
He is my Light, my Life, my Ali;
What could affright"-what can appall
His purpose chose me in the past.
When, in the billowy fire cast,
My dazed eyes all my treasures saw
Burn like the stubble and the straw.
No, not my errlng Will be done
The Masters work is but begun;
He'll take the silver fIom the flame
To stamp His image and His name.

The popularity which Hoods Sarsaparilla
has attained as a Spring Medicine is simply
wonderful. 1t Is recognized everywhere as
the leading preparation for this season, and
no other article in the market begins to reach
the sale which this medicine has gained. Any
druggist will confirm this statement. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has reached this position of the
peoples favorite spring medicine, because II
does all that is claimed for it 1t contains
those properties which are known to medical
science as powerful in removing poisonous
impurities from the blood, and by their tonic
effect to restore waste tissues and drive away
weakness and debility.
ST am having good trade on Hoods Sar-
saparilla now, and those who use it think 1t
the best blood and tonic remedy on the
