Empire of REPUBLIC.

Ex-Gov. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts
one of the founders of the republican
party and a member of President
Grants cabinet, Il statesman of about
the same age as Senator Cullom, of this
state, wrote a letter to be read at the
Clan-na-Gael Fourth of July celebra-
bration at Boston. After explaining
his inability to be present at the meet
ing, he expressed desire to add. as
he says, to the opposition against
the un-American and un-republican
policy of President Mckinley. He
says there has been no other such de-
parture from American ideas and
principles in all our history as is now
in progress under the lead of the pres
ident. Continuing, Gov. Boutwell,,
said:
president Mckinley is transform
ing this republic into an empire. and
the permanent establishment of our
authority in the Philippine islands is
the consummation of his undertaking.
We are engaged in a war which nc
one defends, which no one can defend
as a just and righteous war. Is it an
answer or only guilty preteXt when
we say that for $50, 900. 900 we have
purchased from Spain the title to the
Philippine islands. and Herewith the
right, through war and slaughter. to
subjugate 10000, 600 human beings,
who never injured us. and who only
ask for right to manage their own at
fairs-a right as sacred as right &c
exist? For the execution of this I'M
holy purpose call is now pending
for an enlistment of so, 900, soon to be
60, 600, and then 100. 600. of the youth
of our country. whose destiny it will
be to either fall in battle or to perish
by disease.
This sacrifice of men and thi:
waste of money and consequent bur
den of taxation through generations
are not more to be regretted than the
humiliation to which the country is
now subjected in the abandonment Of

The Ladies' Home Journal, II was i'm
pressed by the profusion of flowers used

at enormous expense, and also by the
Importance given to the matter of re-
freshments- Although there appeared
to be about four girls to one man, the
male portion of the company spent the
greater part of the evening at the buffet,
or zokooski table, eating and drinking.
The conversation of the women, / found,
was most conventional, and one could
invariably anticipate the same remarks
upon AN introduction to a lady. Knowl-
edge of French, which 1 was surprised
to find few could speak, is considered
the most graceful feminine accomplish

Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. Is and % cents

SELF preservation is the first law
of society as well as the first law of
physical existence. A monopoly
tends toward Industrial aristocracy
it tends to create condition wherein
few will control all the means of
production, and transmit that con-
troll from generation to generation,
while the masses struggle for bare
living, with no hope of progress or
independence. Sentiment is rapidly
crystalizing against the trusts of the
country.

One-Armed lin in the Tolls.

On Tuesday evening of this week
while Dewitt NUuRbt was lying down
Oh a couch at his residence &C about ten
O'Clock at night, ne heard someone cone
into the hallway OF the house and III a
few seconds 20 out again. AS several
college students room at his place he did
not think anything OF it for Il few min
utes, bat upon LOOKING out Of the VIII
dow he perceived man running across
the sueet with an OvercOat on his arm.
Quickly discerning that something was
wrong he at once took after the man
and after running about two blocks
overlook him ana found out that it was
his CvcrcOat, that had been few min
utes before hanging III the hall, that the
fellow had ON his arm. Without much
trouble he pursuauou the fellow 10 give
up the property ana then he looked up
Mar hall CfreIg who soon had the fellow
under arrest aud locked up in the village
bastile. The prisoner proved TO be one
armed gent by the name of JAS Gardner,
who has become well known 70 the peO-
PIE Of Alma by reason Of his utter
WcrtEle-suess. When arrested he was
uLGer the Itlueucc u liquor. as is Gus
tOmarv, and why he should want TO
steal an OveTCCat from anyone was a
mystery % the marshall rs he already
had one on that was far better than was
customary for him TO wear The next
morning it was ascerJaiued, however,
that a travelling man from Detroit by
the name of Francis S. Lampaugh and
stopping at the New Arcadia, was minus
coat. The travelling man was taken TO
the Lookup where he found that il was
his coat the prisoner was wearing. He
had taken this coat earlier in the even
ing and why he should try and steal
another is "a question that cannot be
solved. The prisoner was taken before
Justice Durham OH Wednesday and
waived examination, therefore was
bound over TO The circuit court. Bail
was placed Ut $500, in default of which
James is boarding with Landlord Nc
Cu!lough for few weeks. The charge
Brought against him is burglary and
undoubtedly he will get a few years
in some quiet secluded place to muse
over the wickedness Of mankind.
