A law passed by the last legislature OF
Illinois, providing that the American
flag should be displayed over all educa-
tional buildings, public or private, every
day of the year in which schools should
be taught from 9 a. m. to 6 p. M, is
kicking up good deal of commotion in
that state. 1t happens that there are
many private and parochial schools in
Illinois, and these are largely held in
churches or private buildings, where it
would be inconvenient to erect flag
staff or display flag. Furthermore,
church authorities are usually opposed
to such displays, not because they are
not patriotic, but for the reason that the
business is classed as secular and a con-
formity to the ways of the world. As
might be expected the Democrats, or at
least Gov. Altgeld, are making this po-
litical question and seeking to stir up
strife about it in the Republican party. 1t
is likely that the case will be carried into
court, for the question will be raised
whether the legislature has power to re-
quire the display of the flag over institu-
TOMS that are not public.

A Souless Singer. By Mary Catherine
Lee, author of Gin the Cheering Un
Business etc is a story wherein matters
of actual experience are equally blended
with the fancies of delicate imagination.
The heroine, Victoria Montagu, has a
glorious voice in singing but voice
without soul or the subtle quality which
the master calls the cry of. the human
heart The story shows how this
awakened heart grew to realize it's own
yearnings. The process is not without
diaster and disappointment but the result
isvachieved triumphantly. Ferdinand

The appointment of Liu Fling Chang to
investigate the Chengtu riots indicates
that China does not intend to make any
Investigation of that affair worthy of
the name. Liu Fling Chang is generally
believed by the foreign residents in China
to have encouraged the riot he is now
appointed to investigate, and of course
his selection can only be for the purpose
of white washing that affair. Whether
China will stick to his appointment in
the face of the protest of foreign govern
ments, remains to be seen, but the proba-
bility is that the government is between

that the penalty of refusal will be that
they will not vote for him or will vote

of the state are quite as stubborn as the
sound money variety, this demand will
be resented, and the result will be a
breach between the two wings that can
not be healed before the fall election 1t

The negotiations between the United

friendly spirit, AS France, for some

one would have supposed that the rela-
lions between the two countries would

In the absence of direct and specific &C.

Foster, with an introduction by DR.. Eli
oft Coues. If the reader of new books
is seeking novel environment in fiction
he has it here. Not that West Indian
Life has not had it's quota OF description
both by pen and picture; but that in this
little transcription from the real we have
something condensed and picturesque yet
thrown into story form. DIR. Coues in
few pages gives a touch of history,
geography and ethnology anent Santa
Cruz and the Santa Crusians, and writes
thus of the little volume, lin closing his
word; s'It is consequently a valuable
contribution to folk lore, especially in its
bearings upon the 'o'beah' and other
superstitions of the lower classes All the
persons, incidents and scenes are drawn
from real life. DR.. Du Bots is the aetua |

Alma's love story is touching and sweet

DEMOCRATS lNoulsITlve.


The leopard does not change its spots,
and the New York Evening Post is the
same bitter enemy of protective tariff
that it ever was. 1t said June 81:
IF there is any possibility that the
Republicans are going 20 let the country
stagger along under the tariff of in
fanny after they come into power, the
fooner it is known the better. And if
the tariff is really to be changed the
country ought TO know in what respects
just as soon as possible. Is the duty to
be restored upon imports of wool, for
example? Such questions as these will
agitate the minds of business men Of all
parties if the Republicans announce
positively that they are going to tinker
the tariff.
The Evening Post may feel assured
that the Republican party, as soon as it
has the power TO do so in both house and
senate. will obey the popular mandate,
given in thunder tones at the election of
1894, TO protect American industry 1t
has upheld that policy in times of dis
aster. 1t will not abandon it now, when
newed vigor into power
But protectionists will not crafty the
enemy by frittering away time on the
details of tariff revision. 1t would please
free traders to attempt to create discord,
no doubt, but they must supply their
own ammunition. All revenue reform
ers" and the like are united in their
purpose to overthrow protection as the
national policy. The Evening Post, for
instance, predicted that the abolition of
the duty on wool would undermine the
entire protective system. But wooden
manufacturers continue to be stronger
protectionists than ever. They know that
the protective policy benefits the whole
country, and as patriotic citizens they
uphold it. Protective tariff revision
will not agitate 1.-THE minds of business
men of all parties +" 1t is only when
fools and free traders tinker that the
whole country justly feels alarm.
