matter OF the fulfillment of the Ameri-

COLLECT THE BOND.

The city Of st. Louis should hold the
Kern mcandescent Gaslight Company
on its bond for the increase In cost of
lighting under the present contract
over the cost under the bid of the Kern
Company.
This is plain business proposition.
It would be the course pursued In any
other business and II should be the
course pursued by the city. The bond
was e1acted to protect the city in pre-
cisely such an event as has come to
pass.
The fact that the Board of Public
improvements declared a violation of
the contract against the protest of the
Kern Company will compel the city to
prove that the terms Of the contract
were violated by the company. The
Board Of Public Improvements has
doubtless kept in mind the necessity for
such proof to obtain the forfeiture of
the bond. and legal steps should at once
be taken
Up to the present the only forfeiture
TO the city in the course of its lighting
lettings has been the small deposit of
$1,000 made by Mr.. Budd Of Illinois
10 guarantee his bid, and this has In no
way been commensurate with the
trouble to the city and the Increase in
the subsequent lettings.

PIGEONS AND MATRIMONY.

There is something beautiful in the
idea of Gretna Green clergyman in
Michigan, resulting in his employment
of carrier pigeons TO notify him that
clipping couples are headed in his direc-
ton and thus enable him to have a
marriage license ready for them upon
arrival so that they may be made one
in less time than you can count 1t.
Few poets of the true lyric temporal
ment will be able to resist the tempta-
ton TO sing of this hymeneal pigeon
cote in Ella Wheeler Wilcox's State and
TO fmmortalize the sentimental divine
who has established it. The conception
Is Greek in its exquisite daintiness OF
aestheticism. 1t is consOling to know
that such things are possible in the
world of the present day.
One of the most certain results Of this
carrier-pigeon service in behalf Of true
loves course is that its originator will
be Swamped with rush of business.
The sweet thought that a snowy bird
precedes you on the way to the altar.
notifying the Priest of Hymen to hustle
into his robes and be ready for the
splicing act! It'll draw the custom of
every truly soulful twain within days
flight of any part of Michigan-and,
curiously enough, the name of the saga
cious carrier-piSeon clergyman is Fox.

SET CUBA FREE

Governor General Wood OF Cuba
summoned to Washington to confer
with the President and the Secretary of
War on conditions existing In that
island, will, 1t is believed, report that
Cuban sentiment is overwhelmingly in
favor Of national Independence, and will
recommend the withdrawal Of all Amer
lean troops and the fulfillment of our
pledge to Cuba.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that Presi-
dent Mckinley will follow this advice
and allow the Cubans to establish a
free and Independent Republic. The
keeping Of our pledge to this effect is
now long overdue. All the administra-
ton and carpetbag influence possible to
persuade the Cubans to consent to an
nexation has been brought to bear. IL
now the Cubans still insist upon that
liberty for which SO long they fought
against Spain, liberty should be forth
coming.
President Mckinley may rest assured
that he will benefit by dealing fairly
with the Cubans at this late day. Even
though his determination to administer
justice shall come at the eleventh hour
and at a time Of peculiar value in his
campaign for reelection to the pres!-

LOVE OF FREEDOM

While ii undoubtedly amazcs the sor-
did souls of the syndicate money
worshipers now shouting for the Ne
Kinley policy of loot and Empire that
there should be any persons in this
country willing TO allow a mere senti-
ment such rs love of liberty TO stand
in the way of material gain, the fact
still prevails that many Americans are
faithful 10 just such sentiment to just
that extent.
IL is not strange that this should be
so. Ever since the days of the Amer
lean Revolution the youth OF this coun-
try have been raised to love freedom
and to look upon the flag of their coun-
try as the symbol OF freedom The
history of their country implants this
love deep in their hearts. The songs of
their country devote them TO the cause
of freedom. The story of the lives Of
the greatest sons OF their country is the
story OF lives given 10 the service of
freedom. The anniversaries most jubi-
lantly celebrated by their country are
anniversaries that tell Of heroic deeds
done for freedom. To the American
boy the incarnate figure of this great
and free Republic is the figure of Lib
erty holding high the torch that shall
light all the world TO freedom.
And that boy. unless born with the
canker OF selfish greed already rotting
his soul, will grow into a man whose
love of freedom is part of his very
being, bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh. The lessons of his days OF child
hood in this free country have made
1t Impossible for him TO contemplate
without instant protest the prospect OF
the Republic of which he is a son aban-
doninS the splendid principles in behalf
or which 1t has stood against the world
for more than century. He cannot be
lieve that such shameful thing can
ever come TO pass. He cannot believe
that any temptation in our days of
might. no matter II it offer dominion
over all the earth. shall prevail TO seduce
the Republic into the paths OF Empire.
The cry for 4 more STRENUOUS life in
worid-policies does not fool him. The
Shylock shibboleth of Grab and holdr'
does not appeal to him. The slogan Of
"A Greater Republic.' sounds false to
him. He knows there is no greater
Republic TO be developed by policies CT
Empire. He knows that these policies
mean the sure and inevitable and
shameful destruction of the Republic.
The syndicate Mckinley administra-
ton is right in believing that it is op-
posed in this campaign by only senti-
ment.' But the sentiment: is that of a
noble love Of country based on a noble
faith in the nobility of the things for
which the country stands The Nc
kinley plotters for Empire will 20 down
in defeat before the fine hosts of true
Americanism animated by this sen;i-
ment. They have taken their stand
against Freedom. They will suffer for
their sin against the divine spirit of the
great Republic of Freedom. The day
has not yet dawned when that Republic
shall be betrayed to Empire and the
worlds hope of Freedom thereby be
taken from the world
