The anti-imperialists have decided that vote directly for Bryan is a
 more effective way to THEY ARE oppose Mckinley than a
 CRAZY. vote indirectly for
 Bryan through the guise of a third candidate. They are thus in open alliance with pOpulism, no matter what they may say. MT. Boutwell,, president of the league, is not the only man who tries to Justify his conduct by saying that Bryan as president cannot be as bad as he would like to be. be- cause congress will not let him. While he is depending upon congress to keep Bryan from running the country, other anti-imperialists are devoting their money and energies to securing the election of a populist congress which will make not only possible but inevit- able the ruin to which Bryan is pledged. The only adequate explanation of the extraordinary and contradictory antics of the whole lot of them is that they have gone stark mad over their self constituted bogey imperialism"

ExAGGERAT1NG THEIR sHR1EK.

A siren photograph has been invent ed. so 'tis said, which can shriek artic- ulate language a distance of ten miles, This would enable a speech by Webster Davis to be set off from the roof of a central building in Kansas City, and force every man. woman and child within a radius of ten miles, who does not hide in the cellar. to listen to the flow of the tremulo orator. Just think of his perOration on '!iber-tay" being sounded over the city with the volume of packing house whistle. If that terrible machine were turned loose. loaded with Davis appeal in behalf of the BOcrs, it would cause strong men to gasp and fall upon the streets like stricken sparrows. Surely the common council will pass a law at once prohib- iting the use of the siren phOnograph. Use it on the Chinese, but not on inof- fensive American citizens.-Kansas City Star

THE GERMAN STOIC.

Guggenheimer is a very phlegmatlc old Teutonic gentleman. In fact, he rather brides himself on being some what of stoic; nothing seems to sur prise him. The most hair-raising fish story ever perpetrated on any living mortal will only bring from his lips a grunt and characteristic 'So?'
 Guggenheimer and Dunkelbeimer were seated in the rear of an F street "Ghasthause" playing pinoche. The game had progressed in serene quiet for several hours when a dispute arose as to whose deal it was. Dunkelbeimer said:
 Tt vas my teal"
 "Nein," responded Guggenheirner; it vas my teal.'
 With which Dunkelbeimer as firmly reiterated that the cards belonged on his side of the table. which statement caused the face of Guggenheimer to as sume troubled aspect as he said, quietly, but firmly;
 "Yo vas a liar"
 Now, Dunkelbeimer was just the op- posite to Guggenheimer in disposition. He had a furious temper, and forthwi h landed upon the astonished Germ an NIlH DOlI HdIuS, HOOIllS llIn Wlln lIle pToveIbial dull, sickening thud. Not satisfied with the downfall of Guggen- heimer, Dunkelbeimer jumped upon the prOstrate form and proceeded to make it assume the appearance of 90 cents. After having torn the unfortunate Gug genheimer's collar off, divorced his vest buttons from their original resting place, blackened his eyes, and drawn claret from the nasal organ, Dunkel beimer allowed the vanquished Teuton to arise.
 Guggenheimer said nothing for sev- eral minutes. He carefully readjusted the soiled collar, pinned up his vest, and dusted his raiment. Finally he glanced at Dunkelbeimer, standing, panting with eXertion and excitement, and said, cCmplacently:
 Well, vat vas you going to do-6lay cards or monkey all der dimes?"-Ex.

The recent eclipse of the sun does not SC m to have been prolific of supers.i- tions in the United States, and there fore we all the more welcome an anus ing incident related by Dr. w. H. Morse.

ICELAND'S ANNIVERSARY.

Iceland is celebrating this month the ninth century of the introduction of Christianity by Olaf King, of Norway, and many will doubtless be curious about this remote Danish possession Cn the edge of the Polar circle, which has no cable communication with the rest of the world, although it is now being made. Iceland has supplied ten thousand cOlOnists to Manitoba, and these are so valued by the government that every year an agent is dispatched to bring over as many more as he can. Nor are these cOlonists mere un:utored boUrs. Half a century ago Lor1Duff- erin in his Letter from high attitudes" described the Icelanders as a highly cultured people. They speak the oldest living language in Europa, the Morse, while there is scarcely an Icelander however humble his station, who does not know something of at least one language besides his own, while many of the guides who pilot visitors about thc country have d moderate familiar ity with two CT three.-London Chroni- clp

KEEP THE -MATTINGS DRY.

If mattings were rightly trea ted they would last much longer than they do in ordinary households. The less water put on them the better. They should be brushed carefully with a hair brush and then wiped off carefully with a Gamp cloth to remove any dus: which has settled. When water is spilled on q mating it should be wiped as dry as possible and the windows lef- open that the air may circulate and dry ii entire ly. If the day is damp the moisture can be irOned out by placing q cloth over the damp spot. Grease or oil can be removed with Fuller's earth. which is made into a thin paste with water, spread thickly over the spot and all lowed to stand for two or three days When it is brushed off it will be found that the stain has been removed.-New York Times.

Speculation about the period of our stay in China is futile just now. We
 must first ascertain
 OUR what we have to do. The
 STAY IN miscreants who put in
 CHINA. jeopardy the life of MT.
 Conger and his family must be discovered and punished, and we must either do this ourselves or make sure that there is sufficient power and authority in China to en- force our demand. Similarly we must deal with questions as to adequate rep aration. There are also our mission aries to attend to, besides other citizens who may have suffered. Until We have assurances on these points it is mani fest that our troops cannot be with drawn from China. It may be neces- sary to augment the force under Gen eral Chaffee beyond the provision of ad- ditional troops already made, although our dispatches yesterday indicated that the troops now on the way to the orient would go to Manila. The war depart ment and the state department have worked together thus far toward ac
 complishment of the purposes which we have in view and the services of both will no doubt be required for some time to come. Before diplomacy can do it's part in helping 10 maintain the territorial administrative entity of the empire, we must help to preserve any remnants of a government which can prove itself blameless of the out rages that have been perpetrated against our representatives and citi- Zens.

HOME TIES.

A Walnut Hill resident made up his mind a few days ago to begin taking ice from the local ice trust. Having various brands of bottled goods in his refrigerator, he thought it best to have the ice man leave the ice on the back porch. Accordingly, he came down town one morning, and. dropping into hardware store, purchased a pair Of ice tongs.
 I'm going to carry my own ice into the house and put it into my refrig- erator.' he said in explanation of his purchase.
 Two or three days later he again en- tered the store, bringing the ice tongs with him. Walking up to the clerk who had sold him the tongs, the man said:
 Say. made a mistake when bought these things. l don't need d pair of ice toags; what I need is sponge Omaha World Herald.

WATERS AND THE TIP SYSTEM.

The public will be in sympathy with the efforts of the Amalgamated Wait CTS Society of London to abolish the tip evil They are tired of being forced to live on tips and apparently the only way to better their condition is to abol- ish the system. It would be well if American walters were to make a sim liar stand and demand that their work be paid for like that of other men. The tipping system is a relic of barbarism, a survival of the feudal days, before the relations between capital and labor had been clearly defined. It has always been prevalent in Europe, and unfor- tunately it is on the increase in the United States. The straits to which it has driven the London walters is good illustration of it's demoralizing eff feet. Instead of receiving wages the walters of many cafes pay their em- ployers from 8 clnts to $1 a day for the privilege of working-and their la bors consist largely in getting money from the patrons. The walters must get their money back and make liv- ing besides. and in order to do it they must lawn upon CT neglect the patrons, according as the prospective tip re- quires. The evil is three-fold-it is Un- just to the public, it debases the wait CT and it demoralizes the proprietor, who gets the idea that walters need not be paid for their work. It also drives away a large number of desirable pat rons. especially in tho United States, for the tipping idea is repugnant to the majority of Americans. They would rather pay little larger bill than have a waiter hanging about them for tip. Walters, as class, would get better pay in the long run if they would make a united stand against the tipping sys- tem.-Chicago Tribune.

The evidence of Mr. Charles TruaN a Chicago business man sent abroad by an American commercial organization to investigate our consular service, supports decisively all that has been said so often in regard to certain need ed reforms. According to him, much of the credit given to the cOnsuls really belongs to enterprising American man ufacturers and merchants. If there is anything new brought out by his obser- vations it is that American competi 1n in European markets has increased the need of consular business qualifications in British and continental cities. while the high standard of American diplom- acy in the largest affairs has created a demand for increased political quali- fications as we'll

The business interests of the country show an unbroken front for Mckinley.
 Everybody who is en- A CHANGE gagged in any kind of en-
 NOT terprise involving the
 WANTED expenditure of capital
 must be against Bryan. There was never in the history of the country anything approaching the amount of capital at present invested in ventures of various sorts. Business and industry of all kinds have been eX- banding on the suppositiOn that it was a safe time to branch out. The pas unprecedented prosperity of the coun- try justified this. Does anybody in his senses suppose that the people who have thus ventured their capital are and general disturbance into the finan- cial and business world? The very fact that the vested interests are so wide spread and so enormous is of itself the surest possible guarantee of Mckinley's election. Whatever else the Bryanites may say of him, they cannot say that McKinley's reelection will unsettle present conditions or check the present high wave of prosperity. Bryan, on the other hand, has no other excuse fir his candidacy save that, if elected, he will t'piva tbp country a change" He will discover presently that change is precisely the thing the country most dreads .-.
