of it. False sentiment, still falser pa
triotism and, not fnfrequentIy, the bald
est falsehoods are appealed to to trump
up the imperialist cause and to boost the
imperialist politicians.
A very touching example of one of the
imperialist appeals to mawkish senti-
mentality is furnished by the current
stories about the mckinley cottage"
The Mckinley cottage is a Mecca. Can
ton is the imperialist "Stratford-on-
Avon" President Mckinley, we are in
formed by a Canton telegram, has bought
the historic" cottage. The American peo-
pie are told the exact price, the precise To-
cation of the cottage and why the head
of the administration felt called upon to
pay the comfortable sum of $4,000 for
it. They are given a schedule of all the
patriotic and endearing sentiments at
tached to the cottage and almost an
exact diagram of its interior, "roomy,
cool and comfortable"
What for instance, can be more truly

of the imperialist politician, than the
following:
Many Cantonians have expressed a fear
that with the breaking of home ties by
death and other events the president
might be induced to accept one of the
many invitations which the papers have
reported as being offered to secure his
residence elsewhere. The news that the
deal is closed whereby he is once more
the owner of the home that has been
dear to him is received with universal
rejoicing.
When another great Ohio presidential
statesman, the late Rutherford B. Hayes,
went into the chicken Matching business
there were no peans of rejoicing sung
over the event. But then Imperialism
was In its infancy and the practice was
not yet in vogue of issuing a daily bull
letin of the fears and hopes, the joys
and sorrows, the comings and goings Of
the presidential household.
Just to avoid any appearance of
monotony in such matters, it might be
well if the public criers of imperialism
would avoid even the appearance Of
neglect in proclafming the virtues Of
the other great men of the administra-
ton, like Hanna and Platt, Quay and the
others. McKin1eys virtues are, after all,
but a reflection of theirs

IMPERIAI.IsT ADvERrIsING.

1t was at one time supposed that the
theatrical profession had exhausted all
the possibilities of the art of
personal advertising. but the belief
was a mistaken one. The resources
which the imperiaIist administration
has developed in this direction would
put the entire calling Of theatrical
managers to the blush. If there be
anything that can be set down to the
advantage of any prominent imperialist
politician or to the disadvantage of any
and every known opponent of imperialism
which has not already found it's way into
the columns Of the imperialist press, the
word is not likely to remain In ignorance

societies and commercial boards Of trade
for quarter of century or more, with
out having given any strong indication
of the excitement of such occasions. Yet,
here he is presented to view, when an
enterprising duchess proposes to include
Mr.. Astor among the number of her
guests, as declaring that Mr.. Astor is a
bore. Think of it! A man who had run
the eternal gauntlet of public receptions
for his entire mature lifetime regarding
the possibility of an evening spent in
the company of his brand-new American
subject as intolerable, and characterize
ing the new acquisition to the number OF
her majesty's subjects as a bore.
This must strike Mr.. Astor's former
countrymen as undeniably an injustice.
They had tolerated him without a muir
muir since the day of his birth. They
had held him, indeed, as one Of the Pc
culiar products of American civilization;
and having found nothing worthy of
notice in either his conduct or his charac-
ter had indicated their willingness to part
with him, knowing that at least he was
just as anxious as many of them are to
preserve his identity with the great
AngIo-SaXon cult.
Compared with the attitude Of the
Prince of Wales it deserves to be said
that the action of the New York doctor
who sought to burn Mr.. Astor in ef1lgy
was more merciful 1t ought to recall to
this leading representative Of the Ameri-
can nobility that he may have been some>
what premature in his belief that he
could rise to the sublime heights of be-
ing tolerated by British royalty; and that.
after all, the possibility of being burned
| or even hanged, in efhgy by his native
countrymen is a form Of inconvenience
much more tolerable than that of being
snubbed and sat upon by the countrymen
of his adoption.

THE TRUE PINGREE.

The present governor of Michigan Is
one Of those wretched demagogues who
has succeeded in imposing himself on a
number of decent, patriotic citizens as
public character devoted to progress and
reform i'll public affairs. His project for
the purchase by the city of Detroit of
the street car service of that city was
looked on as one of the sure-erough GER
tifcates of progress and reform by this
class Of persons. His demagogue procIa-
nations designed to reserve for himself
exclusively all the credit Of an undertake
Ing which afterward failed. and his
blatherskite denunciation of the supreme
court on account of its hostile decision
were the first positive indications coming
to the outside public Of Pingree's true
character.
1t required his demagogue alliance with
Alger, however, to place his position be-
yond all question. No man protesting to
be decent in his public relations could en-
ter into such an alliance with a knowl-
edge of Ayers antecedents without be-
ing himself political fraud of the worst
character This Is the man who has set
himself UP as a political purist. Accord
ing to him those who disagree with his
professed belief are mostly dishonest
And, as ali but a few thousand addIe-
headed electors Of the state of Michigan
disagree with Pingree. 1t necessarily fol-
lows that he and his clique represent the
discoveries Of Diogenes.
No doubt the rest of creation is per-
fectly willing to be placed in a different
category to that occupied by Pingree.
The newspapers certainly are. They are
perfectly willing to be branded by that
great statesman as being at the bottom
OF all the corruption and incompetence
shown in the conduct of the war, the
more especially since they are assured by
Pingree himself that all the success that
was achieved was due to his political
associate, the Honorable Russell A. AL
ger. They are willing to be the object
of Pingree's denunciation and can accent
not only with composure, but with some
thing like a feeling Of elation. his assur-
ance that Of all other American institu-
lions they are the most dangerous to
our existing form Of government
Our existing form Of government. as
viewed by Gov. Pingree, is a somewhat
underlined form Of state socialism. It's
duties extend from the planting, the hoe
ing and the picking of the citizens DO
tatoes to the manufacture and sale to
him at cost price of his whisky; and
it is bound to provide him with every
thing he may need during his existence.
from his swaddling clothes to his coffin.
Yes Gov. Pingree is right; the news
paper is the insatiate enemy of Ameri-
can Institutions and it behooves all true
lovers of these Invaluable possessions to
join hands forthwith with two noble
statesmen like Pingree and AIger for the
| suppression of these monsters of literary
| and political iniquity. Then, indeed. will
| the task Of sending Alger to the United
States senate and Pfngree to the White
| house become entirely easy of accom-
plishment.

Caravan Parties.

Caraven holidays are in England replace
ing the house boat fad A caraven, be 1t
understood, is gypsy cart, got up in the
style of comfort one can afford, and
driven from place to place with it's oc-
cupants and accessories. All that you
want is a nice roomy caraven, with good,
on the roof, to put up when a halt is
made. Two vans are needed-one for the
kitchen and servants and the other for
the rest of the party.
Bedroom space is, of course limited,
and, therefore, the number of guests must
be small But If there is an inn in the
near neighborhood, your surplus friends
can sleep there and spend the rest of the
day with the caravan. This kind of gypsy
life In g pretty part of the country pres
ents endless opportunities for amusement.

Duluth. Sunday morning she was found
lying in a ditch near Gordon station bv
gang OF section hands. She was only
partially dressed and was suffering from
injuries and exposure. She will probably
recover.
Inc circumstances surrounding the case
are Of a sensational nature. When the
train left Duluth Saturday night 1t con-
tanned among other passengers, two
women. and two men said to be we'll
known residents Of st. Paul, who accom-
panied them. The quartette engaged two
adjoining lower berths on the same side
Of the car. They created somewhat of a
scene by their loud talking and the way
in which they carried on.
DR.. George Aadms, Of Duluth, occupied
berth across the way frog one of the
couples. About 2 o'clock in the morning
he was awakened by a commotion across
the aisle and then heard one of the men
make inquiries as to the whereabouts Of
one of the women.
It appeared from the excited conversa-
ton that Immediately followed that one
of the women vas missing. A search was
at once instituted. The two men and the
remaining woman, assisted by the con-
ductor, porter and the other passengers,
looked high and, low, but the missing
woman could not be found. They exam
iEed every berth, looked under the seats,
looked into the toilet rooms. went onto
the platforms, and even into the other
cars. in continuing the search, but with
no better success.
Then they went back to the berth which
she had occupied. There they found most
of her wearing apparel, even to her shoes
and stockings, which indicated that she
had not deliberately left the train when it
stopped at some Station.
The window was wide open. 1t oc-
Cured to the conductor that she might
have left the car that way. When he ex-
amined the sill closely he was convinced
of It, There, in plain view, in the dust
which had collected on the framework,
were the marks of the fingers of two
hands which appeared to have clutched
the sill tightly before the woman dropped
out.
When the train reached the city the
railroad officials were at once notified of
what had happened and the hunt for the
body along the line was Immediately COM
menced. The st. Paul men and the other
woman made themselves scarce soon aft
erward in order to avoid unpleasant no
toriety, but their identity was known to
a few on the train and has since become
known to others.
