The Alexandria County Prosecutions

If the gamblers trials in Alexandria
county are being postponed from time to
time in order to make conviction more
certain there will be disposition to pre-
test on the part of the many hundreds of
citizens on both sides of the river who are
eagerly watching the proceedings. But if
they result from an intent or a desire to
prevent prompt justice being done there

common and from the present outlook it
is unlikely that there will ever come turn
of the wheel Of international politics to
place the countries either in intimate re-
lation or strong antagcnism. The United
States has never extended it's. zone of
active political interest beyond the Ha-
waiian Islands on the west except In the
isolated case of Samoa and has left Asia
to the disputes of the European Powers.
Hence Earl LIS visit to these shores Is to
be regarded as but a friendly call, partly of
curiosity and. inlsmuch as his route home
carries him across this continent. largely of
necessity as we'll. England, France and Ger

perhaps distrustful eye on the globe

last night he spoke from his heart in eX-
pressing gratitude for the welcome extend

of the fruits of western civilization. but as

The Viceroy has been rather rudely criti
cised while in this country for remarks al
legged to have been uttered concerning our
own laborers. anent the exclusion of the
Chinese. His point OF view is entirely nat
ural and even il he has been accurately
interpreted and quotetl-whch under the
circumstances may fairly be oubted-there
is little reason for assa.lng him in terms
of vitUDeration because on his frs; emer-

world he fails to things except through
the political spectaeles that to our minds
are dmIled with the dust of centuries.

There will be a general observance Of
Labor day next Monday by the local CT
CARNATIONS of wcrkingmen. Two main fea-
lures are planned for the day. The Central
Labor Union has arranged for parade III
which it is expected that fully two thous-
ard of the workingmen affiliated with that
BODY will appear. The Fedora ZION OF Labor
ard District Assembly, Number 66, of the
knights of Labor, have deciled to mark
the day in different manner, by an outing
at river resort, where relaxation and en-
joyment will rule. Both celebra lions will
doubtless be successes, and will stimulate
organized effort among the local working
men.

A Straw Hat.


The hour has come. The old, fond tie is
broken.
And I am left in gloom
The hat of straw through which I oft have
spoken.
At last has met it's doom.
IT'S like funeral rite when deposit,
For an existence drear;
In neglected corner of the closet
This cherished souvenir.
What sentiments from divers moonlit
places
LLrk in each braided strand!
Of glittering hopes, what sad and tarnished
traces
Linger beneath your band!
