Spirit of Imperialism

BY planting our flag on many foreign
shores we would thereby make ourselves
a factor in the political affairs of the old
world as well as of the new, but at the
same time we would lose that right we
now undisputably claim-to be sole judge
of what shall be done by and in the west
ern hemisphere. In such a case would we
gain more than we would lose or lose more
than weawould gain? Would the abrupt
transformation in our international posi-
ton be of harm or benefit to us?-Cincin-
natl Commercial-Tribun e

Independent Republicans

The present gubernatorial campaign is
anomalous in the fact that the voters Of the
Republican party have not expressed any
preference concerning candidate for gov
ernor. "'+ This popular indifference bodies
no good to the party itself. In seif-gov-
erning country all classes should be inter-
ested in the methods by which the country
is governed. Popular indifference is tho
forerunner Of bad government.-San Fran

Steve Elkins' Shift

Mr. Elkins has shifted his opinions with
wonderful rapidity. He was opposed to
war for freedom and humanity, or even to
redress the wrongs and insults offered by
Spain to our own country. But he is filled
with enthusiasm at the prospect Of a war
for conquest. If something can be stolen
and appropriated, the mere prospect OF
such an enterprise arouses every instinct
of his soul.-Columbus Press-Post.

Wax Stains

An old-fashioned way of removing wax
stains from cloth is the following: Lay over
the stains two thicknesses of blotting pa
per and apply for moment the pressure
of a moderately hot iron. The wax, becom-
ing melted, will be absorbed by the two lay
ers of paper, and the stains will be instanta-
neously and entirely removed.

Henry Watterson is thankful that his

pair of shoulderstraps for one Of the FAM

Hail to the Private

(To every brave lad who is doing his duty
in the essential though obscure posts of
this conflict)
Hail to the private, who marches to danger,
AS brave heart beating as ever pulsed
life;
To fame and applause tho his name be a
stranger,
His valor brings victory out of the strife
Hail to the private, who cheers when an
other
Receives a reward for some valorous
deed!
Noble, courageous, and staunch as his
brother,
Fate called not, tho he was as eager to
heed.
Hail to the private, for laurels await him,
And nations adore him. tho naming him
not.
The mind of the finite may lose him, but
never
By Infinite Mind will his name be forgot.

What's the Matter With Hannerp

From every farm and city round.
From mountain heights and glens pro
found,
There comes a wailing, doleful cry,
With no one degning to reply
OF Whats the matter with Hanner?'
Though l no learned doctor be,
l see as plain as A B C,
And just as sure as feet have toes.
I've found the cause of all the woes
OF poor afflicted Hammer.
This fellows great avoir-du-pois.
And getting gold is all his joy;
OF others worth, as of himself,
He gauges by their piles of pelf-
That's what's the matter with Tanner
This rule with Hammer doth suffice
That every person has his price;
And never comes into his thought
There may be those cannot be bought
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
But this is true of all the tribe
Who gives bribe will take a bribe;
For getting back the money spent,
They sell themselves at cent per cent
That's what's the matter with Hammer
But If perchance he buys state,
And swells, like toad for feeling great,
Twill ne'er, like toad, of him be said,
"A precious jewel in his head
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
This man of bribes, who'd climb to fame,
I,c TO- 1t. 1T, e
But thinks a man a fool If told
He values honor more than gold
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
The Cubans rising in their might,
Claim for themselves God-given right;
But he stands in with plutocrats
And other rascal thieving rats
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
Whatever things there be on earth
He values for their moneys worth;
Thinks workers made to buy and sell,
And only sin when they rebel
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
This one great ailment is immense
His total want of moral sense;
And right and wrong he only sees
AS tweedledums and tweedldees-
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
1t follows plain, his graceless sins
Come from defective underpins:
With no foundation balanced strong
On love of right and hate of wrong
That's what's the matter with Hammer.
Oh. pity for poor Hammers lot!
He has in such bad odor got
Wherever he intruding goes
Forthwith upturns indignant nose
That's what's the matter with Hammer.

King Philip had vaunted his claims;
He had sworn for year he would sack us;
With an army of heathenish names
He was coming to fagot and stack us;
Like the thieves of the sea he would track
us;
And shatter our ships on the main;
But we had bold Neptune to back us,
And where are the galeons of Spain?
His carackes were christened of danes
To the kirtles whereof he would tack us;
With his saints and his gided stern frames
He had thought like an eggshell to crack us
Now Howard may get to his fiaccus.
And rake to his Devon again,
And Hawkins bowl rubbers to Bacchus-
For where are the galleons of Spain?
Let his majesty hang to st. James
The axe that he whetted to whack usi
He must play at some lustier games
Or at sea he can't hope to out-thwack us;
To his mines of Peru he would pack us
To tug at his bullet and chain;
Alas! that his greatness should lack US
But where are the galeons of Spain?

Help us, dear Father, in life's saddening
doubt,
Midst toilsome cares; beholding want and
sin,
To see Thee-Not with incredulous eyes
without,
But mighty hope within.
Help us to cast perplexities away
And cling, oh God, cen to a small belief,
Knowing thou seest our heart fears day By
day,
AS thou dost note the turning of a leaf
Give us, dear God true hearts to under
stand.
That little deeds If born of hope in Thee,
May cast some troubled one into Thy hand
Whom thou shalt call thine own eter-
nally.
