The holders Of money which is getting
day by day more valuable, can cry pros

then re-shlpped to the colonies. Mr.
Conner made good point when he called
attention to this historical fact in his
cotton mill speech. England is pursuing
the same graspfng policy toward her
colonies today. That's the trouble in
India. When England conquered India
her first step was to break up the manu-
factories, so that Manchester might sup
ply the population of India with cotton
goods. The American colonies rebelled
against this policy-they claimed the
right to manufacture their own raw ma
terials. England treated her American
colonies no worse than her other colonies,
but she had to deal with a different sort
of men. They were men of the Anglo
Saxon race-the conquerors of the world.
They were men like those who beat back
into the sea the hordes of barbaric in

had conquered the worldwide knew how
to die, but not to retreat who could only
be conquered by determination, who
dashed into the midst of the foe without

A drummer who travels in Maine is
not greatly impressed with the rapidity
of the telegraph service in that state.
Recently he was in the upper part Of a
county and wanted to reach another
town that night. He telegraphed the
hotel keeper in the latter place early in
the day to send team to the station
for him. When he reached the station
at night, no team was there. 80 he
started to walk to the village, which
was quite little distance of. No sooner
had he started than the station agent
said To him, "Are you going to the
village?" "Yes. Then wish you
would take dispatch up to the hotel. !"
1t was the dispatch ordering the team.

VIII Meet at Washington.
1t ia expected that the International
postal congress which meets in Wash
ington May will be in session six or
eight weeks.
The union embraces the whole world,
excepting the Chinese empire, Korea
and the Orange Free State These lat
ter countries are expected to join the
union during this congress and will he
represented by delegates. Each nation
can send as many delegates as it de-
sires, but will have only one vote.
The convention will be held with
closed doors, and the proceedings will
be in the French language, according to
the usual custom. The first topic of inn
portance to be considered will be that
of transit rates by intermediary coun-
tries on mails received from other coun-
tries. 1t is likely that the result will be
general reduction Of these rates, cir
cumstance which would be disadvan-
tageous to the United States.
President Mckinley will entertain
the congress at the White House, and q
number Of excursions will be made not
only to places Of historical interest,

NEW CYCLING BOOT.
~ IL For Girls and Ia Considered tne
"Only" Thing.

~ Is For Girls and Ia Considered tNe
"Oniy" Thing.
The very latest thing in bicycle foot
wear is the golf stocking shoe, or rath-
or boot, for it reaches to the knee. 1t is
just the thing for the early season, and
its popularity is already assured. The
top is made of firm, unyielding wool
en- cloth in quiet colors, either plain or
plaided. The back and front are re-en-
forced with strip Of leather, which
preserves the contour and prevents the
cloth from wrinkling.
The top is finished with three inch
fold Of the cloth, turned over in simula-
tion of the regular golf stocking. The
vamp is shaped like an oxford tie and is
Of leather, in either tan or chocolate.
The boot laces to the ankle and is fas-
tened the rest of the way with the Pratt
fasteners.
The soles are thick and corrugated,
and the heel is moderately high. The
one defect in the boot is that tho cloth
wrinkles over the ankles and makes
them look big and clumsy. The cloth is
guaranteed not to stretch with wear, but
for all that 1t is advisable to get as
close a fit as possible.
A still "sweller" looking boot Of the
same kind has fancy scalloped vamp,
and the turned down fold at the top is
finished with three tiny leather straps
and leather covered buckles. A broad
elastic band is fastened to the inside Of
the fold and helps to keep the boot in
place. Chicago Times Herald.

pay me about as much as my senatorial
salary, and 1 think will accept IL. If
I do, however, shall have to give up
all hope of reelection and consider my
