the tip of his funnier little ebon tail.
He weighs just nine ounces, and can be

would be the victor. But the dog, with
his finer instincts for fighting, got a
hold upon the rats neck, and in this po-
sition the two rolled over and over, the
dog never slackenig his hold until the
poor rat was silent in death.

in the Church of All Saints, at Balti-
more, Md, making the lower rooms I'M
tenable. They are unlike any pest ever
observed there, resembling black ants
in shape and color, after they have lost
their white wings, which drop off soon
after the creatures appear. They eat
holes in the flooring and devour carpets
and cushions. They broke up the Sun
day school last Sunday. Rev. Edward
w. Worth, the rector, says that the in
sects first made their appearance about
four years ago. They begin to give
trouble about the first part of April and
last until the hot weather sets in. In

but the bugs still increased in number

Mr.. Bryan has commenced the
fight against imperialism splendid
ly. lie challenges the admiration
OF his enemies, commands the re-
spect Of his fo.mer opponents, and
rises higher in the regard OF his
partizans. His crying Halt" upon
those VINO are rushing forward in
imitation of The empires Of the past
and present in establishing the rule
OF the stars and stripes over distant
quarters of The glol e, j. no fen
sive. He appeals to the reason OF
the public.
His speeches are tempered with
good sense. He does not seek tc
change the immediate policy of the
United States. He recognizes in
that as clearly as the president the
hand Of destiny He seeks only tc
mold the future policy of the United
States toward those countries and
people Of the Orient for whose fc.
ture we are responsible. He agree:
with the administration that the
treaty with Spain should be ratified
by the senate. We do not doub
he would assent to Senator Frye
remark-that we would be insane
to give the Philippines back t.
Spain, and fools to divide them uE
among other nations.
He agrees that the exigenc,
requires a military government owe
the islands for the present. Mr.
Bryan is not blocking the wIs'
measures for the protection Of thes'
people against aggression or insur
rection
He is trying to turn the cours
Of public opinion from the old chan
mel of greed Of trade and ambition
Of power into the new one-t a
broader and better course of low
for humanity.
In the clear mind of Mr. Bryan
large part of the feeling Of the peo
pie is rapidly crystalizing. Wei
may his opponents fear the rise o
a man whose aspirations are :
! high and purposes so noble. Il
other battles he has been attacking
in this he is defending. Before h
was the radical, now the conservs
. tive. Whether advancing or re
sisting, he shows the same masterl
