helpful and liberalizing depart
ment of modern scholastic educa-
ton.
The early adversely that in
many brilliant cases has been the
spur to exacting and successful
self-education is not to be relied
upon TO replace the general
scheme for imparting the APP
proved courses of instruction that
have been matured and culled
from the experience and wisdom
of all ages. The strong and
plastic minds that have been so
richly finished and adorned by
self-culture are not possessed in
many instances or under circum-
stances that are conducive to ex-
traordinary ambition and applica-
ton. Statistics prove that peo-
pie who have ruled the world for
the last 400 years and rule it now
in every sphere of action and
achievement are those who have
had the advantage of early train
ing, and yet the great people of
the country were not, are not,
those who made great figures at
school or college. Schools and
colleges are merely short routes
to the goal, but the goal
may also be reached without
them by courage, resolution and
perseverance. The main thing
to make clear to those whose op.
portuuities seem defective or diff.
cult is that if one really wants
knowledge he can have it, and nc

SIN In pa+s!!A.....,.

With nauch eclat, applause,
cheering and slam banging,
Bourke Cochran she great Dem
ocratic gold bug leader, and Col.
Bryan, the evangel Of silver, have
proclaimed to the world what
they know about trusts and how
to cure them. Cochran says pub
licity will do the work, Bryan
says high license will do ii. Coch-
ran says no evil has yet resulted
from trusts that anybody can put
his finger on. He says the coun-
try was never 50 prosperous,
wages were never 50 high and still
there never was SO much activity
in the trust business, therefore,
he concludes that while sinful men
may turn trusts to wickedness,
thus far there is no visible dam
age done by them. In general,
he argues that trusts are good and
necessary but occasionally a bad
one viii be found. Bryan is una
bic at the present moment to point
out any specific injury that trusts
have accomplished, but he fears
for the future. He thinks that
in time they will ruin the country.
He does not know just how they
are going TO do it, nor why they
should, but his prophetic soul
tells him they will, so he rises in
his place to annihilate trusts be-
cause Of the possibility of evil
there is in them. Both men talk
ed long and eloquently and the
audience clapped vigorously, but
the great expectant world has
seen no new light. They know
just as much and no more than
they did before Cochran and Bry.

1t is babbling nonsense to COM
pare the Tagal Instruction with
the American revolution. The
American colonies were one in
language, religion, destiny, action,
thought and purpose. Into their
cause they carried enlightened
craftsmanship and lofty patriotism.
They fought with the highest re-
gard for international law, and
were controlled by spirit of hui
manitarianism which was better
and finer than of the nations of
Europe had yet brought into
their wars.
The population of the Philip
pine islands presents every ex-
IRENE of language, religion, &C
ton, thought anu purpose. If
Aguinaldo's cause has any merit,
it lies in the fact that his govern
ment is weakly initiative of the
American republic. 1t is 4 re-
public in name, but a despotism
in spirit and action. InternatiOn-
al law has been ignored, and war
fare has been carried on after the
uncivilized ways of barbariaus..
The Hoars and the Atkipsons
Of this country deceive themselves
with the belief that because Ag-
uinaldo attacked our soldiers in
the name Of "liberty," his cause
must be righteous. Their SYM
pathy is as misplaced as tits un-
natural. The enlightened con-
science of civilization approves
the course our government has
followed in the Philippines. Eu-
ropean criticism is almost I'M
heard of. The critics are con-
fined to the United States, and
are more noisy than numerous

they read like the latest edicts of
a destiny that is imperial. +"
Rome's imperial eagles have been
the worlds wonder for two thou
sand years, but by comparison
Rome was but the confused light
of the dawn of approaching civil
ization while our country is in the
full imperial blaze of noon day.
Under the imperial majority Of
our flag slavery has melted away
from Brazil, from Russia, the
slave hunter is giving up his
work on shore, the slave ship has
disappeared from the sea. The
imperial free school has sprung
into life and the songs Of the chill
dren make music all the way be-
tween the seas. The oppressed
of the earth stretch their arms to-
ward the imperial ensign, which
is more glorious and holds infin-
itely more hopes in its folds for
the worlds poor than ever did
the gold-embroidered banner of
India or all the flags which led
the hosts to the rescue of the holy
sepulchre. s
This is not a good time to be
preaching dishonor TO the flag;
nota good time TO be discounting
the mission of this Republic, for
it is imperial in all its presenta :
tations, but it is that imperialism
which attends as the body guard
of the liberties of this people, and
which marches in the van to give
liberty as an answer to prayer to
other people who have become
our wards.-Salt Lake Tribune.

South Americas Future.

"When South America comes
to be Systematically opened up by
the great capitalists of the world,
as will surely happen in the next
century, the union of the fluvial
systems of the Amazon and ORR
noco will absorb the attention of
the worlds best engineers" says
the Mexican Herald. "a great
empire is destined to grow up in
that continent, and from the An
des down to the Atlantic and the
caribbean sea will be witnessed
the most tremendous activities.
A rich soil, great grazing plains
and gold mines of immense re-
sources will be exploited by a
new breed of men, the results of
an intermingling of the hardest
emigrants from old Europe and
North America. South America
is a continent that will not be
long neglected by the empire :
makers of civilization" =

School and College Openings.

The activity and anticipation
attending on the opening days of
the universities, colleges and
schools are very pleasant to see,
but it should not be forgotten that
every year a large share Of the
children and youth of the country
are denied the various benefits
and pleasures of going to school
or to college. 1t is not meant
that they are deprived of educa-
ton, but that there are periods
during which perhaps one-half of
all the scolastic class is alternately
| in and out of school. There is
no such thing as depriving any
person of an education in this
country who really wants one.
There is no such thing as keep
ing down a boy or man merely
by keeping him out of school or
college. There have been great
men whose wives have taught
them the alphabet. There have
been boys too poor to buy books
or lamps to read them by, who
had to work from sun to sun and
learned to write with charcoal
and to read from scraps of waste
paper, yet afterwards became fa-
nous for literary culture or re-
nowned for wisdom and states
manship.
Early advantages are not to be
underestimated, and the equip
ment in manliness, poise, mental
training and philosophy that a
collegiate career bestows on q
Iihealthy-minded collegian lis per-
haps the soundest groundwork
Iupon which good citizenship car

fullness, it makes little difference
how il is acquired, asslong asst il

after all, the modern boys edu

so that it may make a firm foun

Speaking Of the Dead.

The Populists have rebuked
Bryan. So Bryan has done
something deserving commenda-
ton after all. If he would keep
quiet, permit his jaw tackle to
rest, his tongue to enjoy a vaca-
ton, he would deserve praise
from higher quarters. The Pop
ulists want the government to
own everything, then they want
to own the government. We
should like to see several changes
ourself, but handing the govern
ment over TO d horde of Populists
we don't want to see. The Pop
ulists spend their time Directing
to aieverybody else; everybody
else spends his spare time object
ing TO them Wasp. 49

About 1885 there was created,
IN book called "Childreu of the
Abbey" by one Maria Regina
NOcke, a character known as
Lord Mortimer. The influence
Of this lord on the youth of the
nineteenth century cannot be ov-
erestimated. The young women,
p the perfectly lovely language
d the day, adored him. The
Young men conducted themselves
accordingly. They practised,
with devotion, a lackadaisical,
daredevil air. They learned to

Genuine imperialism.

@''--'~-a"-
Imperialism as a name is much
like trust. 1t has its good side.
When Fourth of July orators
have expatiated on the granduer
of the domain of the American
Republic and have called it elm
perial" many an American has
felt thrill of pride, and not one,
by the description, has felt any
fear of losing his liberties. AS
one glances over the fields golden
with wheat, enough to feed
hungry world; or the cotton fields
with white blooms enough to
ciothe a world, he takes off his
hat and says with an honest pride,
elbow imperial is the domain
which is ours, how imperial is the
work of the millions of my coun-
trymen." If he enters another
domain and sees where the min
ers underground, all the way be-
tween the seas are wrestling with
the gnomes, with the rushing wa
tiers, with the swelling clay and
the consuming heat, to bring
forth the coal, the iron, the lead,
the copper, the silver, the gold
and all the manifold metals and
minerals, he says in establishment,
"Why, here is an army more i'm
perial than were both those that
struggled at Waterloo, making
its assault on the great worlds
treasure chambers"
If he watches the great rushing
trains that are clouds by day and
pillars of fire by night to mark
the trails over which commerce
and trade send their argosies all
over the continent and all the way
between the seas, he is constrain-
ed to say, "Venice was the home
of merchant princes, Tyre was
metropolis of the ancient COM
mercial world, but no Tyre, no
Venice ever made any such i'm
perial showing as this. When
he listens to the diapason of the
looms and the thunder roll of the
iron mills, he says, "Under this
imperial clamor the ring of Vul-
cans anvil would be lost, the
thunder of Thor's hammer would
not be heard, for there is an i'm
perial majesty about this work
which has no counterpart in this
world, which has no counterpart
since the world began" Up on
the great northern lakes there is
work going on which in the
character of the ships which are
being used and in the cargoe'
carried, is enough 70 make ole

sounding shores, for its proper
tons every way are imperial

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
p..hIbIts the Use Of Arsenic or Alum
in all Articles Of Diet.

pFehibltS the Use Oh Akbemlc or Alum
in all Articles Of Diet.
The law enacted by the Mis-
souri, Legislature, copy of which
was recently published in our
columns, and which prohibits the
manufacture of any article intend
ed for food, which contains alum,
arsenic, ammonia, etc, places that
state in the lead in the matter of
sanitary Legislation.
Laws restricting the use of
alum in bread have been in force
in England, Germany and France
for many years. In this country,
in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Ohio, Kentucky and several
other states, direct Legislation in
reference to the sale of alum bak-
ing powders has also been effect
ed. In several of these states
their sale is prohibited unless they
are branded to show that they
contain alum, and in the District
Of Columbia, under the laws of
Congress, the sale of bread con-
tanning alum has been made lille
gal.
Following are the names of
some of the brands of baking
powder sold in this vicinity which
are shown by recent analysis to
contain alum. Housekeepers and
grOcers should cut the list out and
keep it for reference:
sOkI"s Powders cOOtainiuG Alum:
K.C................. Contains Alum

CALUMEF.........C Contains Alum

Sail Lake City.
HOE. ..............t'On tRins Alum
Mani. by Home Baking Powder Co.,
San Francisco.
In addition to these, many gro
GERS sell what they call their own
private Oh special brands. These
powders are put for the grocer,
and his name put upon the labels
by manufacturers of alum pow
ders. The manufacturers, it is
said, find their efforts to market
their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the gro
Ger to sell powder with his own
name on the label, especially as
he can make an abnormal profit
upon it. Many grocers, doubt
less, do not know that the pow
derS they are pushing are alum
powders the sale Of which would
be a misdemeanor under the law
referred to.
1t is quite impossible to give
the names of all the alum baking
powders. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES,
under different names and at all
kinds of prices, even as low as
i've and ten cents a pound. They
can be avoided, however, by the
Aousekeeper who will bear in
mind that all baking powders
sold at twenty-five cents or less
per pound are liable to contain
alum, az pure cream of tartar
powders cannot be produced fol
anything like this price.

Then, behold! when they had

obscure corner of England, among
the moors of Haworth, quiet
little school-teacher who refused
to recognize the reigning lord.
She seized her iufinitesimal pen.
and with a stroke here and a
touch there created a man. Ed

Maidens knelt to place their pref

He breathed smoke and flame,
and twisted iron pokers for
amusement. He was as ugly as

all men were fitted by nature to
play the part, and few could hope

young men of the day did their
best, however, each according to
his several ability. They trained
themselves on the field and in the
gymnasium. They submitted
their countenances to the amen

swear with a blank d--n, &C
cording to pattern.
Alas, the labored precautions!
Til ire comes a uth,-Van Bib
Der by name-who overturns the
whole system by one careless,
elegant wave of his left hand.
He orders omelets and Wallets with
an ease born of habit. He is
Lord Chumley, without his gar
ret, and Saint Augustine, without
his halo. Groups of admiring
maidens cluster about him, a foil
for his charms, tin-foll or gold,
as the case may be; but he passes
unscathed through them all. He
is best man for every man of his
acquaintance and knight-errant
for every maiden. He never
marries, because that would be
the end of him. He was born to
shine alone, like some dim star so
near and yet SO far.
The young men of the present
day have regarded him, be it
known, somewhat askance. They
have declared that, in his own
elegant language, Van Bibber is
something of a cad, and that a
Bowery tough is not laid low by
mere superior skill-not even
when joined to superior air
They have perceived, more
over, that the Galahadan youth
