A BIG SHOW COMING.
Ringing Bros. Famous Circus t
Exhibit in This City.

Ringing Bros. Famous Circus to
Exhibit in This City.
The announcement that Ringing
Brothers circus will exhibit in Mar
shalltown again Tuesday, Aug. 20, will
be gratifying news TO all who have seen
this great show or familiarized them
selves with its claims to unrivalled
fame. Some idea of the size and scope
of the exhibition can be gained from
the fact that five trains of double length
railroad cars are required to transport
it from city to city, while the performs
ances are given in three rings, upon Two
stages, in mid-air and upon an immense
hippodrome racing track, under an
enormous canvas pavilion so vast that
all the other circuses in America could
be gathered, without crowding, under
its colossal dome. The nlenagerie is the
most complete geological collection in
America, the hippodrome is an actual
reproduction of the exciting contests of
old Rome, and the arenc performance
is so vastly superior to anything ever
before seen In this country as to create
q distinct departure in this form of
popular entertainment. The acrobats.
gymnasts, aerialists. riders and other
specialists number 300 of the highest
salaried European and American art
lists. including the great Fisher family
OF nlid-air evolutionists: the seven Da
Comas, world-famous aerialists and ac-
robats; Joseph LeFleur, the lofty SOM
ersault diver: Mile. Turnour, the per
sonification of grace beauty and clever
ness on the swinging trapeze: Alvo,
Boise and Pickard, absolute masters of
the aerial bars: Mike Rooney, Edward
Shipp, Lizzie Rooney, Julia Lowande.
Elena Ryland Olga Reed. Albert Gran
dali, and a long list of other great
horsemen and horsewomen, together
with many other feature-performer
now presented for the first time In the
United States. Especial attention has
been given this season to trained ami
NAL displays. Lockhart's elephant
comedians compose the most novel dra-
matte company in the world. These
huge pachyderms actually present
plays and farces with an intelligence
and clever appreciation of the power of
expression by means of pantomime
such as no human actors could surpass
Souder's elephant brass band is the
| most sensational trained animal fea-
ture ever seen in America. O'Brien's
sixty-one horse act, the most remarka-
pie instance OF trained equine 1ntelll-
gence on record, has created a furore,
while the new patriotic Introductory
spectacle, THE Last Days of the Cen
tury." is declared by the leading news
papers of the country to be the most
gorgeously magnificent display of the
kind ever attempted. Circus day will
open with a beautiful display, in which
will be exhibited free upon the streets
the longest richest, most resplendent
parade ever organized-a display which
even the Caesars, in the days of Rome's
greatest splendor and spectacular ex-
travagance, could not have equalled.

EXPANSION VS.. 1MrEnIAL,sM.

The determined stand taken by the
majority OF our profound thinkers.
whether statesmen, public men or
scholars, is against imperialism and
not against expansion. Ex.Gov. Alt
geld, in his speech at Blair, Neb.,
last October. sounded the keynote to
the whole situation:
The question Is not one of expan-
sion. 1t Is not u question whether
we shall add territory to the republic
and increase the population that
shall be subject to the constitution
and laws OF the United States, it is a
question OF establishing II despotic
system OF government. 1t is n ques.
ton OF following in the wake OF Eng
land and holding subject colonies
whose people shall be governed, not
according to the principles OF our
constitution and laws, but in viola.
ton OF them, and whose people, III.
stead OF becoming American citizens,
are to occupy the relation to us they
formerly occupied towards Spain.
1t is because this must result in the
ultimate destruction OF our own lilo.
critics and the overthrow OF our owr
institutions that the alarm is raised

sion OF the principles always advo-
Gated by the Democratic party. to say
that it fails to perceive the difference
between expansion and Imperialism.
That the party has always been one
OF progress and national expansion is
evidenced by the fact that it was the
Democratic party that added what
ever new possessions the original
thirteen colonies had. But it always
insisted that such expansion should
be in conformity with our constitu-
ton and laws. There is a vast diiTer.
ence between adding territory under
our constitution and lave, and Great

authorities exclusively, rs mere col

DeltructIon Of tho PnlIanNet.

The work Of destroying the Pail.
sades Oh thc banks OF the Hudson
River goes steadily on. \ few years
ago an outcry was made against the
dissertation, but nov the people OF
New York seem to have become re-
signed to it. For most communities
it is hard to keep alive a spirit OF in
d~ignatiou; besides, to purely esthetic
matters, our American people are no.
toriously indifferent. Ii the palisades
are to be saved it will be by the per
slstent Intervention OF the few. But
very little can be accomplished by
expressions Of indignation and hoI-
ror, practical steps should be taken:
soon all effort well be too late. The
most feasible plan is the purchase of
the property either by Government or
private philanthropy. There ought
to be enough rich and public spirited
men In New York and the reabouts to
make the plan practicable. Expert
ence has shown that very little can
be hoped for from our legislators.
The owners Of the palisades are not
to be blamed for making rs much
profit as they can from their invest.
ment, and they could without doubt
be persuaded TO sell at a reasonable
figure. II the palisades stood Oh the
borders of any river in Europe, how
quickly any attempt to destroy them
would be resented Golfers Weekly.

a Friendly Warning.

Unless there is n stop put TO the
blocking OF the street crossings by
freight trains. there Is trouble in
store for some OF the railroad m
ployees. The killing OF Tim Mullen
has attracted public attention to this
nuisance and unless signs fail, steps
will be taken TO prevent it in the flu
:nrc. Freight conductors have the
right. according to the rules of the
railroad company, to hold the Cross
ings 70. five minutes. but no longer
Some OF them, however. seem to go
on the theory that the public have no
rights that they ano bound to respect
and block the crossings with their
trains for twenty minutes or half nm
hour at 4 time. 10 the Inconvenience
and absolute danger of those whose
business compels them to from
one side OF the street to the other
while the crossings are blocked.
Climbing over freight trains is n dan
genous business, yet our citizens are
compelled To do it III order to attend
to their business. This can be pre-.
vented by the freight conductors
obeyipc the rules OF the company
and cutting their trains mt the cross
