Suppress Them.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Wo-
mems Rescue league, in the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing yesterday afternoon, Prof. Maria Sanford
gave an interesting talk on suppressing sensa-
tiCnal accounts of crimes in the newspapers
and also on the curfew hour. The advisability
OF changing the location of the rescue home
was discussed. but the decision was left till
the next meeting. Mrs Purple resigned her
position of secretary to the league, but no
one was elected in her place, it being decided
to postpone this business also. The commit
tee appointed to visit the Columbia theater re-
ported that, so far as they were able to see
the place was run in thoroughly orderly
manner. Greetings were brought from the w.

FOXY JOHN l.. GIBBS.
Put His Rival, Diment, on the Alter
nate List.

1t looked last night a. though J. M.
Diment, OF Owatonna, had been
tricked by John L. Gibbs. Mr.. Di-
ment has wanted to go as a delegate
to st. Louis from the First district,
which holds it's convention Friday.
They do say that Hon. John L. Gibbs
wants the same honor. AT any rate.
II was John l.. Gibbs who, during the
confusion incident to the latter part of
the convention, nominated Mr. Diment
Tor alternate at large. Inasmuch as at
that time the first man nominated went
through in every case, there was no
exception in the case of Mr. Diment.
and now his candidacy for delegate in
his own district will be somewhat han
dicapped by his selection as an alter
nate at large.

LOSS Is VERY HEAVY,
And the Members of the COngrega-
fiOn Are Poor.

In the account yesterday morning of
the burning of the st. Peter A. NJ. E.
church, Monday night, it was stated
that the loss was $4,000 and fully COW
cred by insurance. This, however, was
a mistake, as the loss is fully $1,000,
this being on the building and fixtures,
and the insurance is only $4,000. The
building was insured in the Rockford,
Rutgers and Pacific Insurance COM
panies. The church has been struggling
under a mortgage of $4,000 for some
time and was badly off financially. The
members Of the congregation are not
rich enough to make up the amount Of
the loss not covered by the insurance
and will be obliged to ask for assist
ance outside of the church. AS has
been stated, the Origin. Of the fire still
remains a mystery.

rived; or when she announced: Grand
ma is coming tomorrow; and I am

fact, she does not know yet, as she is
wholly a matter-of-fact, Woodworking
woman who has never given any at
tention to and really has no knowledge
whatever of strange matters. She
simply recognizes that Mabel's an
nouncements in regard to future occur
rences can be relied upon and that she
is very different from the rest of her
little flock and from the children who
are their companions.

When the message of President Cleve-
land on the subject of Venezuela was
published, Dee. II, 1895, it was met
with a powerful sheer by the London
Times. That very able newspaper sa id
that the suggestion was absurd. The
very thought of arbitration was scout
ed Said the Times: ''Arbitrate the dis
puted territory in British Guiana? They
might as we'll ask us to arbitrate the
coast of Kentr' After the Venezuelan
agreement had been announced and
described by Lord Salisbury the Times
said: England admits the principle
that the United States may not only
intervene in disputes with South Amer
lean republics, but may entirely super
sede the original disputant and assume
exclusive control Of the negotiations.
This is distinguished conversion and
it shows the force of American diplo-
macy. The newspaper which less than
a year ago said that it would be as non
sensical to propose arbitration in re-
gard to an English county as in regard
to Guiana admits that Great Britain, in
consenting to arbitration, comedies the
entire claim of the United States relat-
ing to the Monroe doctrine and to the
territorial rights Of Venezuela.

and so far? They are not carried about
and planted. No one would be so fool
ISL as to sow Russian thistles. The
mother plant must have WAYS of her
own for sending her offspring abroad
into the world. Plants propagate them
selves in two ways. from seed or from
buds. Sometimes these buds are borne
on slender runners. A strawberry plant.
after it has blossomed. begins to send
out such runners, with buds, unfold
ing tufts of leaves, along them. These
tufts are at first connected with the
parent plant. but later the runners be-
tween break away, and each tuft be-
comes a new plant. Many grasses, like
Bermuda grass and the troublesome
quick or couch grass, have creeping
stems, each joint sending out a bunch
of roots below and bud on the upper
side. 1t you try to hoe up such grasses,
you only make matters worse, for each
joint when cut off is ready to form an
independent plant. Such grasses
spread very fast, and soon take posses

England learned q. great many things
from the loss of her American colonies,
but nothing more important than that
colonies left to govern themselves and
interfered with only in the way OF sup
port and protection, are a source Of
strength to q nation, while colonies
treated only as q source Of revenue are
a burden and a weakness. In Canada,
in Australia, in South Africa, the Eng
lish have established healthy common
wealths that would probably be lost to
the home government if any modern
ministry could be guilty Of the blum
dering policy adopted toward the Amer
lean colonies in the last century, but
that keep to their allegiance now be-
cause it is mainly sentimental and i'm
poses no burdens. And England profits
greatly from them. India, on the other
hand, the English have still regarded
very much as it was regarded by the
commercial adventures who first took
possession of it, as a source Of wealth
to be drained, rather than as field to
be cultivated. Now, when the country
does not even produce enough to feed
it's own population. while the enormous
cost of holding and administering it
still increases, India is weight on Eng
lands hands. But the great example
of a false colonial policy is that of
Spain. She lost her colonies in South
Africa because she never did anything
for them but to rob them, and while she
has held Cuba she has treated it only
as a source of revenue. And now Cuba
is IMPOVERISHED and cannot be made to
paw for the cost of maintaining Spanish
rule, and Spain is likely to lose it alto
gether. if for no other reason than that
she cannot afford to hold it. To the ina
bility or unwillingness of Spain to learn
the obvious lessons of history, we can
easily trace the decline of her power
and glory. England, on the other hand,
has prospered by adapting her colonial
policy to modern development. Wher-
ever she has followed the Spanish plan
of mere military occupation, she still
has trouble ahead.
