The Manchester Guardian, which
has the reputation of being one of the
best Informed of English journals,
gives the world to understand that
John Bull is still doing business at
the same old stand. and proposes to
protect his patents and copyrights with
his accustomed intelligence and vigor.
All he demands now is that, If China
is hanged, drawn and quartered, he
shall have slice for every slice taken
by every other power. For example,
Germany grabs, then Eigland grabs as
much; Russian takes something, then
England takes a portion; France alb
serbs a province, then England appro-
PIRATES one equally as large and pow
erful.

Good and healthy girls are almost
always cheerful. No novelist would
consider his youthful heroine complete
If ringing laugh" were omitted from
the list Of her charms; and in real life
the girls who do not laugh now and
chen are seldom trusted or liked by
their companions. Even beauty will
not Save them. A belle who fails to
understand the jest of her admirers
and smiles in amiable bewilderment
while other people are laughing is soon
left with no consolation save to Won
der what anybody can see in her rival
"a girl with "tip-tilted" nose perhaps,
and large mouth and freckles, but
the happy possessor of a pair of merry
eyes and a cheerful mind. The gift OF
gayety is indeed of great value; but
It must be gayety which originates in
q kind and CHEEKY heart, not that
which is born of mere excitement or
gratified vanity.

Rational protests against legislative
invasions Of personal liberty are never
untimely. The disposition to run to
the legislature for a law to cure evils
that are not to be cured in that way is
a growing thing. In vast majority
OF instances law to cure an evil af-
fecting private persons causes graver
faults than It is intended to cure. It
Is nonsense to say officials will never
take wrong advantage Of unwarranted
authority placed in their hands. HUI
man nature has not changed in all
the centuries and men are as ready to
abuse or usurp authority now as at
any time in this worlds history.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 13.-The Ohio
Republican League convention which
was held in this city was one of the
stormiest in the history of the league.
About 200 delegates, representing sew
enty-two clubs, were in attendance.
The fractional feeling which marked
the late senatorial contest cropped
out. There were strenuous efforts to
restore harmony, however, both the
retiring president and president-elect
advising the members of the league to
lay aside fractional feeling and differ
ences. Senator Foraker, in his tele-
gram to the league, made a plea for
harmony. The Foraker and Bushnell
element was dominant in the conven-
ton, however, and while they endeav-
ored to keep fractional differences in
the background, carried all their
points.
