According to their recent manifesto the
anti-imperialists are more convinced than
ever of the correctness of their views and
of their duty to save the Republic by OPP
posing the government. They will defend
the ark of the covenant. They will protect
the American people against themselves
and save the Constitution and flag from
d%ishonor, or they will nobly perish in the
attempt. Their self-complacency and as
sumption of superior patriotism are only ex-
plainable on the theory that they are in
direct communication with the Almighty
and have a personal assurance that they
are right and the millions of patriotic Amer
leans who differ with them wrong. The
anti-imperialists appeal to history to vim
dicate the purity of their motives. So did
the tories of the revolution and the copper
heads in the war Of the rebellion, but their
v~indication never came. Men who oppose
the government in it's efforts to establish it's
rightful authority and maintain the flag
where Providence has placed it are judged
in the light of to-day rather than by the
light of history. though the latter has not
reversed contemporaneous judgment In re-
gard to the tories and copperheads. Unless
all signs fail the American people will en-
brace the first opportunity afforded them at
who are engaged in disappearing the
origin, object and probable results of the
present war in the Philippines.

There is a difference of opinion IN the
part Of Southern papers In regard to the
German vote. as it is called. The Nashville
American says:
There must be a large German vote in
Iowa, for the Iowa Democratic platform de-
clares for Germany against Great Britain
in the present European contentious, and
makes a big bid for that vote In charging
that Great Britain is trying to force us TO
quarrel with Germany.
To the above the Memphis Scimitar takes
exceptions in the following language:
There is a large German vote in Iowa, but
unfortunately for the trainers OF that sap
head platform it Is also q very intelligent
vote, and 1t has never gone to the Demo-
Gratis except when prohibition was an issue
in the State. No sensible man can fail TO
see through the jabber about that mythical
Characterization alliance" and the alleged
plot of the British to involve this country
in a war with Germany. 1t will not deceive
the thoughtful, sober-minded class of voters
to whom 1t Is directed. either in Iowa or
elsewhere. d..
Both Of the papers are Democratic, but
the latter does not propose to be fooled or to
fool anybody. The Anglo-American alliance
is simply the creation of a few weak dema-
gogues. Nobody seems to favor 1t now.
Several years ago Mr.. Carnegie urged 1t,
but Mr.. Carnegie is not an expansionist any
longer.

When the Bright Child drew near to the
rhinoceros in the circus all the world Won
Gered and listened agape. "Oh, mammal"
exclaimed the Bright Child, pausing only
to choose such words as would render her
thought easily ineligible to the multitude.
Look! The rhinoceros makes her own

1t almost split, there being no doubt that
the Bright Child had reference to the ihino-
ceros's hide not fitting very well.

therefore supplies a very definite want. The

The author Of this work, c. ]. Bayer, has
made some instructive original researches
in an interesting field. viz: That relating to
the causes which tend to produce immoral
ity and moral or physical degeneracy in
human beings. In doing this he has collect
ed a large number of facts which he pre-
sents in connection with fictitious charac-
tiers and Incidents, giving the narrative
somewhat the form Of a story. But Its value
and interest consist in its facts. The author
advances some startling theories and ideas
which should lead to valuable experiments
Even those who do not accept his theories
will be interested in his statement of facts
relating to heredity and. other prenatal in
fuences and environments as affecting hu-
