THE danger of imperialism in this
country does not grow out of the ex-
pansion of the country. We have ex-
banded time and again, and have
found no consequent reason to aban-
don the simplicity of our system of
government. No nation has had
greater experience since the adoption
of our Federal Constitution in deal
ing with incongruous and unassimi-
liable peoples. The populations of
the islands we have acquired, except
in the element of distance from the
centre of governing power, offer no
more serious problems for future solu-
ton than our Afro-American ques-
ton. The imperialism that we have
real reason to dread is an imperialism
of wealth, which finds expression in
arbitrary and overbearing combipa-
tions backed by unfair and discrimi-
mating legislation, and is maintained
by corrupting political influences.

Is Is NOT about time for tho nan-

Is is NOT about time for the Demo-
cratic party to call upon the country
to put them in power, SO that they
may reduce the dangerous surplus in
the United States Treasury? That is
one of the few promises made by it
that was faithfully fulfilled, and, in
doing so, it also reduced the surplus
of almost every citizen in the Union.
AS surplus reducer and a deficit
creator that party has record that
can not be successfully assailed.

FAMOUS BRIGAND
or Italy Killed by a Peasant Whom He
Threatened.


Rome correspondent New York
Times: News has come to Rome of the
death of the famous brigand, Flora
vanti, who for so many years has
eluded every attempt on the part Of
the Italian authorities to capture him.
His body was found last Saturday In
a wood near Grasseto in the Tuscan
Maremma. 1t seems that the cele-
brated bandit was shot by a peasant,
whom he had threatened with death
because or his refusal to take letter
of Fioravanti to certain well to do
person, demanding the immediate
payment of sum of 5000 francs. Lu-
ciano Fioravanti may well be said to
have been the last of the old race Of
brigands which once infested the Ma
rcmma and the neighborhood of Rome.
For long space Of time he was the
companion Of the terrible Tiburzi, who
was shot by the gendarmerie, near
Sapalbio, in the Merema mountains,
some three or four years ago. Since
the death of his friend and companion
in arms Fioravanti had led compar-
atively quiet life in the Ciminian For
est and the neighborhood of Viterbo,
eluding every effort made by the po-
lice and guards to capture him. Late
ly he seemed to have returned to his
old haunts, nearer Grasseto, where in
an unguarded moment ne met his end
at last. For some years reward Of
1900 francs had been hanging above
his head for his capture or death. The
news of his shooting has caused deep
sensation throughout the country, and
the South Tuscan Maremma and the
country between Lake Balsena and
Rome is now virtually free of all real
ly desperate disturbers Of the public
peace.

REPLY TO Il HUNG cHANG.I
Will Welcome 0vertures When.
There is a Government.
NO TEMPORISING ACTION.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The United
States has taken the lead in replying
to China that there will be no temper
izing negotiations and there is every
reason to believe the powers will bel
united in this same policy. The ans
wer of the United States was quickly
followed by similar action on the part,
of Germany. The other powers will
follow Immediately, with similar re-
sponses.
The text of the reply of this govern
ment has now been made public and is
here given:
Sent to the Chinese minister August
%, 19OO-1;3O p. n.y. Memorandum in
response to the Chinese minister's COM
munication of cablegrams from Viceroy
Earl Ii Hung Chang; dated August 10
and 81, proposing the immediate ces-
sation of hostilities and the appoints
ment of an envoy to conduct negotia-
tions, received at the department Of
state, August 20 and 81, 1900.
While the condition set forth in the
memorandum delivered to the Chinese
minister Aug. II, has not been fulfilled
and the powers have been compelled
to rescue their ministers by force of
arms unaided by the Chinese govern
ment, still this government is ready to
welcome any overtures for truce, and
invite the other powers to join, when
security is established in the capital
and the Chinese government shows its
ability and willingness to make on its
part an effective suspension of hostil-
tiles there and elsewhere in China.
When this is DONE and we hope it will
be done promptly-the United States
will be prepared to appoint repre-
sentative to join with the representa-
tives of the other similar interested
powers and of the authoritative and
responsible government of the Chinese
empire to attain the ends declared in
our circular to the powers of July 3,
1900.

SANDGLAS ES
Still Used to Measure Varying Periods of
Time.


Time.
Strange to say, the sandglass is still
used to measure varying periods OF
time. The size depends upon the pur-
poses to which they are to be put.
The hour glass is still in use in the
sick room and in the music room, in
both places affording sure and ST.
lent indication of the progress of time.
Half-hour glasses are used in schools,
and fifteen minute glasses are used for
also goes into the kitchen as an aid
to exact cooking. There are also ten
minute glasses, five-minute and three
minute glasses, the two latter being
used to time the boiling period of eggs.
The three-minute sandglass is called
an egg boiler" Sand-glasses are also
used for scientific purposes and on
shipboard. The sand is carefully pre-
pared by thorough cleaning, includ-
ing boiling. 1t is then baked dry, and
then ground into the requisite fineness
and uniformity, as sharp sand would
be likely to become wedged in the
opening between the two sections of
the glass. The sand is then intro
duced into the glass through an open
ing left for that purpose in the end Of
one bulb, the opening then being
sealed, the right quantity in each sand
glass is gagged by actually timing the
flow from one part of the glass to the
other, and every glass is individually
treated like good thermometer. The
glasses are usually mounted in cylin-
drical frames or holders, SO that the
twin bulbs can be seen at all times.

Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, we have a warm side
toward the crow, he is so much like
ourselves, said the late Henry Ward
Beecher. He is lazy, and that is hui
man; he is cunning, and that is human.
He thinks his own color is best, and
loves to hear his own voice, which are
eminent traits of humanity. He will
never work when he can get another
to work for him-a genuine human
trait. He eats whatever he can get his
claws upon. and is less mischievous
with a belly full than when hungry.
and this is like man. Take of their
wings and put them in brooches. and
crows would make fair average men.
Give men wings and reduce their
smartness little. and many OF them
would be almost good enough to be
crows.

Of an extra session of Congress, it was
said, was not mentioned at the meet

ity of member of the cabinet that
under present conditions an extra ses-
sion is altogether improbable. 1t is

Went Down There to Help Root For

ments.

The rast week has been the mosu
quiet one the local stock yards have
encountered in a years time. All TIE
cattlemen who could possibly do so
joined the Utah delegation and jour
neyed down to Forth Worth to root for
Utah and the next convention. The
business at home has stood SIN, but
the delegates down in Texas kept NOV
ing rather lively to even up things. with

At the meeting yesterday of the
Council of Clubs. Mrs. Georgia Snow
Carleton. who was appointed at the
last meeting to investigate under what
conditions the saleswomen worked in
this city and to report on the feasabii-
ity of organizing a consumers league,
gave an interesting account of her in
vestigations. She said: THE first
thing to be done is to arouse public IN
terest and sympathy In the movement.
And although there is little real need
of the league here, much could be done
towards lettering the conditions sur
rounding clerks in stores. At Walker s
store the clerks work under the poor
est conditions of any in the city. There
is a large body Of women employees,
and little provision made for their COM
fort; also conditions found in the toll
let rooms are against all the rules OF
sanitation. In the whole store there is
no place where clerks can retire during
the noon hour fer rest and TO Y9rtake
Of the noon meal. If i'll or fatigued.
there is no place nearer than the drug
store on the opposite corner where rest
can be obtained. q
The L. c. III. I. takes better care OF
its employees than any store in the
city. There is a room set apart for
their use, and provided with a stove
and tables and a few necessary com
forts.
The hours Of labor. as a rule, are
not over long. With the exception Of
Auerbaeh's and the Z. O. NJ. J., all
stores close at 6 p. m. except Satur-
days. In the case of the latter store,
however, the women are not required
to be in their places at an early hour
which more than cOmpensates for the
extra half hours work at night
ION Saturdays the stores are open
until 10 o'clock The employees be-
Iieve this is entirely unnecessary; in
fact this was found TO be the princi-
pal cause for complaint. Employees
are not paid fer overtime. Even cur
ing the holidays when in some Of the
departments clerks are detained until
past midnight, no extra compensation
is allowed" Mrs. Carleton also visited
the z. c. NJ. l. manufacturing depart
ment. She found in the shoe depart
ment that few employees were women,
but that those few had the strained,
tired look that comes from Overwork.
It was suggested by Mrs. Carleton
that the council work TO create public
sentiment to close all stores Saturdays
1 at S o'clock and also to interest the
I clergymen Of the city to give sermons
1 that will awaken the public conscience
and help better the condition Of the
working classes.

report Of committees was heard. The

gated the eurfew ordinance reported
