The highest type of j reformer does see
the truth, but the type with which our
age is the most familiar sees only part
of the problem This part he may see
with marvellous clearness, but he sees
nothing else. And it is a singular feature
of the immoderate reformer's attitude
that his compassion is as narrow as his
vision.
The moderate man has not this lack
of sympathy. I have seemed to draw
contrast between the reformer and the
moderate man, yet often the moderate
man is a Feformer in his own person
But he stands for moderation in re-
form as well as elsewhere, whereas the
enthusiast lifts a clarion cry, mo com

SMALL REPUBLICS
WIPED OUT.
How Evil Days Have 0vertaken
Most of the Lesser Nations
of the Earth.

These are the times when everything
in the affairs of nations seems to point
toward concentration, when the larger
nations of the earth are either absorbing
or preparing to absorb the smaller SOW
ereignties, as if in preparation for the
time when one or two nations will rule
the world. The evil days for these little
States began some time ago, but the
past year or two has been particularly
disastrous for them. and if times do not
change soon it will not be long before a
small sovereignty will be such curiosity
that it will attract no end of attention
AS it is there are not many at the pres
ent time, and several of those that still
exist owe their existence to a matter of
sentiment, which, parenthetically, may
we'll be regarded as pretty poor guar
antee of stability.
1t was not long ago that there were
several of these little sovereignties in
the Pacific, but one by one they have
ceased to exist as Independent States.
Hawaii for instance, committed hara-
kiri for the benefit of the United States,
and Samoa relinquished her individuality

THE MODERATE MAN.
By Octave Thanet.

The refermer may be the pioneer of
civilization, but-he is not the whole
push! After him come the men who
build cities and lay railways and foster
the arts, and, in fine, create that vast
and complex machine that we name civil
izauon. After the pioneers, the makers;
after the reformer, the destroyer of
idols, the seer of visions, comes the man
with a working plan-the moderate man.
May | say a word for the man with
the working plan-the moderate man ?
There is no need for me to speak for
the refermer. He cannot be too drastic
or too savage or too prosperous for our
admiration We only require that he
shall be earnest-and eloquent. We
idle singers of an empty day" are fas-
cinated by earnestness- We turn eager

day.

he talks about. and yet the insane

~The next morning went to the vati-
can by appointment, to paint His Holt
ness.
1T is in the privacy of the Vatican
that the lustre of Pope Leo XIII. shines
brightest
Having had the honor Of painting the
portrait of His Holiness, l will endeayeF
to describe him-an imprudent and dan
gerous task
Cardinal Matthew conducted and in
trodueed me to the Pope.
1t was o'clock in the morning. All
the church bells rang the first mass, and
the streets again teemed with countless
crowds of pilgrims
THE blanched appearance of the Pope
surprised me, despite what I had learned
about his gradual emaciation. The face
and hands seemed immediately white,
the blue veins being quite conspicuous.
His delicate form is arFayed in white
from head to foot.
-After the usual genufeetions His
Holiness asks US to be seated, the Car
dinal on his right and l on his left.
The conversation turns at once to my
desire to haye several sittings for the
proposed portrait The Holy Father
asks whether the afternoon would suit
me best for light. / protest respectfully
and say that l prefer the morning. But
the early morning is devoted TO diverse
audiences and receptions of pilgrims, he
tens me.
Everything Is at last arranged to the
satisfaction of His Holiness, and
srread out my paints, fearful lest he viii
repent and withdraw his permission
ITO my relief he enters into con-
versation with the Cardinal

for his remarks and he was given a
hearty cheer as he left the court house
to make his train.
Before the convention closed another
happy incident happened. Mr.. Chlor-
PEEK. who las knack Of doing the prep
er thing at the proper time, suggested
that l.. j. Nash be given five minutes in
which TO address the convention. The
statement was no sooner made than the
delegates and spectators endorsed the
sentiment by vigorous cheering it
took Mr.. Nash but few minutes to tell
his auditors that he would vote the
Democratic ticket and that he for one
would not willingly surrender the ideals
Of the past for the new tangled theories
Of the Republican party. He pltmly
put his view Of the campaign by saving
the struggle now on was a battle OF
ideals. The room resounded with ar
plause, approving his attitude in this
particular. When the convention ad-

THE GERMANS AND MCKINLEY.

In an excellent article the Oshkosh
Times points ont a few salient facts
which may be digested with profit by
the voters of Manitowoc county. 1t
proceeds TO say:
Just what the eject If imperialism
is at present can only be conjectured.
Bnt there can be no doubt that it is los
ing the Mckinley party many votes.
Particularly is this statement true among
foreign born citizens, who have felt the
burdens Of militarism and are unwilling
to undergo its pinching and perjury
again.
The detection in the ranks Of the
Germans is the most marked The Chi
cago corresT oudent Of the New York
Press an administration Republican pa
per admits that the Germans Of the
West have abandoned Mckinley. Eight
years ago - per cent Of the German
vote of Illinois was cast for Grover
Cleveland; four years ago Mt least % per
cent of the German vote went TO McKin-
ley. The correspondent says: Out Of
$40 German newspapers printed IN the
United States not more than 10 per cent
are out for Mckinley. Four years ago
the German press was practically unan-
imous for the national ticket on the mon
ev issue If the changed tone OF the
German press reflects German-American
sentiment then it will be folly for the
r publican leaders to blind tie 7 eyes TO
the fact that there is detection Of that
vote
The above represents condition and
not theory. 1t means thousands, yes,
hundreds Of thousands Of votes lost t.
the Republican party and gained by the
Democrats and votes count Even Mark
Hanna will admit that.
But the headlong drift that the Nc
Kiuley administration has taken is de-
cidedly dangerous. The rapids are be
low and the republic will be dashed over
AID swallowed up, unless there is a RAJ
pd and hurried change Of course or a
rowing to shore.
1T begins to look as if the conserva-
tive portion of the people are beginning
TO fear the monarchical tendencies of
the Mckinley regime and that they are
going to show their love for the repub-
lie by voting for Bryan.

ANTI IMPERIALiSTS FOR BRYAN.
