A Protest Against Imperialism.

Hon. A. E. Pillsbury, former attor.
ney general OF Massachusetts,, in a letter
to a committee of the Gamma Gaels
made a strong protest against the in
sane. policy of a foreign empire. Among
other things he said:
We have been made to pay SEC, ,ooo, ,ooo
for the privilege of waging war Of
indefinite length, at a cost of million
day, to say nothing OF the health and
lives of our brave men, against a peo-
pie who had never given us cause OF
ofense, and whose moral right to self
government is as good as our own. We
are doing this chiefly for the benefit OF
Great Britain, whose diplomats and
statesmen are at this moment laughing
in their sleeves at our folly in allowing
ourselves to be SO easily gulled.
l do not yet believe that the people
approve or will ratify this exchange OF
their traditions, beliefs and institutions
for a rainbow promise Of colonial en-
pire or trade expansion, and it appears
to me the duty of every lover of his
country to make his voice heard against
it.
The Irish people have rendered many
services to this country OF their adop-
ton. 1t would be remarkable, but by
no means impossible, if it should be left
to them to keep alive the spirit of lib
erty among the American people, and
to protect the Anglo-Saxon in Amer
ica against the fatal consequences of his
own inbred lust OF dominion.

A Pioneer Called Away.

| Again deaths summons has been an
| swered from the ranks of St. PauPs
pioneer citizens. Thursday, July 6, John
Dowlan, for forty years resident OF the
city, died at his home on Mount Airy
street. Mr. Dowlan had, since his resi-
dcnce in the city, taken a prominent
part in the business and political activ-
tiles of St. Paul. Elected street COM
missioner in 1865 he held that office for
six years; from 1874 to 1877 he served
in the city council and was elected presi-
dent OF that body in 1881, presiding over
it continuously for several years. In
the construction OF the city water works
he also took an active part. The fuel
business engaged Mr.. Dowlan's atten-
ton from the time he first settled in ST.
Paul, and an extensive business was
ploftably carried on until few years
ago, when, owing to failing health, Mr..
Dowlan retired from active business.
The deceased was born in Ireland in
1899, coming to Canada when a mere
lad In 1856 he located in St. Paul.
The funeral was held Saturday morn
ing, July 8. Requiem mass was read by
FIR. Gibbons, who afterwards paid
high tribute to the character OF the de-
ceased. "A man OF noble character,
modesty and gentlcncss; worthy citi-
zen good father, a wholc-souled
Christian" were the words spoken to a
gathering which filled completely the
large church. The floral offerings were
beautiful and profuse. The remains
we're inferred at Calvary.
The following friends and business
associates of the deceased acted as pail
bearers:
Honorary-Patrick Butler, John Kcr-
win, John Williams, Michael Mealey,
William Murphy, William Delaney,
John Rogers and Patrick Dougher.
Activc-Gcorgc r. Holmes, John

Life.

If we die today, the SUN will shine as
brightly, the birds will sing as sweetly,
tomorrow. Business will not be sus-
pended a moment, and the great mass
will not bestow Thought upon our
memories. els he dead?" will be the
solemn inquiry of few as they pass to
their work. But no one will miss us
except our immediate connections, and
in a short time they will forget and
laugh as merrily as when we sat beside
them. Thus shall we all, now active in
life, pass away.

turning to England to complete his
term at college. He was now a man of
considerable means, but he underwent
the somewhat irksome discipline of an
Oxford undergraduate until he had TAX
ef, his degree. Between terms he was
back and forward to Africa, for he saw
that great Transformation was coming
over Kimberley and that in it was his
chance Of greatness.
Even thus, at the beginning of his
career, he saw clearly two things. The
first was that the man who is to do a
great political work must have money;
the second, that the country which
hopes to hold its own in the world needs
plenty of territory.
When Chinese Gordon, who became
his great friend, told him how he had
refused a roomful of gold offered him
by the Chinese Government, Rhodes
laughed at him. II would have taken
it" said Rhodes, "and as many ROOM
fuls as they would give me. 1t is no
use for us to have big ideals if we have
not the money to carry them out"
In politics his ambition was to secure
for England all the thousands of miles
of unoccupied territory north OF Cape
Colony. This ideal he has already al
most accomplished.
1t was not for himself that he wanted
much money. All the things that ap-
peal to the average rich man-big
houses, many servants, luxury, ease,
rich food-were and are to him less than
nothing. He is indifferent to them. In
Cape Town he UP to quite recently
spent most OF his time at a bachelors
club, living in the same style as young
fellows with $4,000 or $1,000 year;
and his friends estimate that his annual
expenditure on himself rarely exceeds
$1,000 year. He has never yet owned
a mansion, and probably never will.
He is at his happiest when away in the
wilds OF Rhodesia, living in tent will,
only his attendant to look after him.
But he wanted money because gold
represents power. He saw that the old
individualist system Of working the dia-
mond fields could not last AS the soil
became exhausted and the diggers got
to the layer of solid rock beneath claim
after claim was thrown on the market
for little money. Slowly and quietly
Rhodes began to buy up these claims
He believed that the rock would yield
deeper wealth, if properly worked, thar
even the surface had done.
| The enterprise was too great for one
man to undertake by himself He need
cd allies possessed of almost endless
money bags. He went to Europe and
laid his plans before the Rotllschilds.
They were captivatcd, but yet were not
in too much Of hurry to stake large
sums on this ambitious young man
They had had long enough to consider
the matter, but still wanted to delay
Come in few days." they said, land
we will give you our answer"
"Sirs," the young diamond digger re-
piled, Il will call again OH you in hall
an hour. If you have not then decided
what to do I shall go elsewhere"
They saw he was not man to be
played with, and he returned to South
| Africa with their financial backing.

A Town With Unique Features

A special from Irvington says: The
village of Irvington, in Lancaster
county. Va, has one thousand in
habitants, yet within its precincts
there is not a colored resident, except
as servants. No land can be bought
by them, nor can any be rented. And
this, too, in a county which is classed
among the black counties of the Old
Dominion.
This condition alone might make
it distinct from any other Southern
locality of like population, but there
are other unique features in regard
to it which are seldom found. The
village is not incorporated, does not
need nor las it a police, magistrate
or constable nearer than four miles.
The inhabitants never lock the doors
to their dwellings or stables, and
seldom to their outhouses or offices.
Every white voter is Democrat, save
one, the postmaster, and he was until
the present Republican administra
ton came into power. Ninety per cent
of the men and boys engaged in occu-
patton are oystermen.
