A new system of ventilation has of
late been introduced in the East, for
which great merit is claimed. It con-
sists of forcing fresh air into building
by means of revolving fans, and in its
passage the air is washed" by passing
through finely divided spray. The
effect of the spray is to catch and pre-
cipitate dust and all sorts of impure
ties, so that the air reaches the interior
of the building in perfectly fresh con-
dition. Screens are also used in the
air pipes to assist in arresting the pas
sage of duet. The system is in use in
the Chicago public library, and is said
to be a practical success.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: Judge Hawley of
the United States Court, Nevada Dis
trict, has reached the age limit at
which he lie entitled to retire on full
pay. / am not acquainted with his
beginning rs lawyer, but under
stand that he 'sgot it into him. by
hard knocks, and burning midnight
oil, and that he is self-taught. His de-
cisions on mining and water law will
long remain bright monuments to his
memory, and as a Judge on all points
oflaw he is the peer of any. His ca
pacity for work, even at seventy, is
simply wonderful-he can't live with
out 1t, and plenty of it. His honor has
never been questioned. have one
fault to find with his views as to what
Congress intended to give the miner
and locator of a ledge as reward for
its discovery. believe Congress in
tended to reward the miner by giving
him 1900 feet of the ledge he discovered,
and by the term "ledge'' Congress
meant at the time just what the miner
understood by the word, and did not
intend to give him mineral zones,
ssfioors,n etc., as the Supreme Court
of Nevada has often decided. But
when Judge Hawley went on the bench
the Supreme Court of Nevada was al
ready committed on the point in de-
claring in favor of the one-ledge theory
on the Comstock. While it is well
held that when the miner is working
in quartz and ore, that walls to that
quartz and ore will be presumed to
exist somewhere, but believe it should
also be held that when the miner finds
his walls the presumption Of their ex-
istence somewhere else should cease.
/ do not believe the Judge intends to
retire very soon, very much to the
chagrin and anxiety of few gentle
men who have lately transferred their
spheres Of influence from the Silver
party to the Republican party. Of
course, Judge Hawley's age had moth
ing to do with their 'fiop," it was
simply remarkable coincidence.
have heard a number of names
mentioned for the position. Some of
them remind me of little story.
Queen Victoria was fond of the COM
pany of Scotch gillie named Brown,
who often accompanied her when
travelling. When they would come
across places of gentlemen whom she
had honored and raised to nobility,
she would call his attention to the fact.
Very often he would answer as follows:
eyes, your Majesty; it was an DER
great distinction But, Brown is dead
now.

It will be remembered that the Re-
publican press during the recent cam
paign assured the people that Bryan's
talk against militarism was senseless
bugbear, and that the Republican party
was as much opposed to large stand
ing army as was Mr.. Bryan himself.
! notice by recent dispatches that Mr..
Hull, Chairman of the House Military
Committee, will call the Committee
together Immediately after Thanks
giving, in order to present and pass a
military bill as soon as Congress con-
venes. He favors a regular standing
army with 4 maximum of $4,000 and a
minimum of 81, 1000. He adds: 81 hope
our folks will quit apologizing for the
necessity of an adequate military force
and come right out for the proper bill.
The country will uphold it and mill
tarism doesn't scare them little bit"
This is very frank admission that the
Republican party apologized and lied
to the people about the military bug
bear during the election, and now that
the election is over the party proposes
to place the military and naval mill
stones around Uncle Sans neck. The
European farmer who left his country
in order to shake off the s'soldier
strapped to his back" and who voted
the Republican ticket last election,
might as well have stayed at home.

PRESS COMMENTS.

IF the republican party sue.
ceeds in fastening the imperialistio
doctrine up on the American people
the Declaration of Independence and
the Fourth of July will become u
farce.-W. ]. Bryan.
On the question of imperialism
and the trusts the country is against
the republican party, and if the demo-
Gratis do not SO far oblige their op-
ponents as to push these problems
into the background Mr.. Mckinley
is likely to be beaten.-Brool1lyn Cit
izen.
The Mckinley and Roosevelt
ticket, amid the cheers which greeted
it in Philadelphia, has witnessed it's
only day of enthusiasm, and from now
on must fall into that mediocrity of
estimation which attaches to the in
sufficient and the bungling-Atlanta
Constitution.
1t is remarkable circumstance
that in the midst of all our boasted
prosperity this year so far has sown
more strikes and shut-downs than for
many corresponding periods past.
Mckinley prosperity is too hoggish-.
it won't distribute itself enough

The republican party demanded
that the constitution be amended be-
fore the trust question should be
grappled with. On the other hand
the party made no seruples of violat-
ing the constitution for the benefit
of the trusts in the Porto kico ques-
tion.-Peoria Herald Transcript.
The republicans are somewhat
alarmed over the political situation in
Wisconsin, caused by what one Of
their leading papers calls "the om-
inous silence among the Germ ms"
The imperialist plunge of the admin
istration does not rest easily on the
German mind. The silence of the
Germans is declared to resemble the
situation at the outset of the cam
paign over the Bennett school law of
some years ago. which drove the Ger
mans in a body over to the democrats
and carried the state against the re-
publicans. Pittsburgh Post.

MEANING OF IMPERIALISM.
Entirely. at Variance with the True
Principles of Freedom and
Fairness.

If definitions in the dictionaries will
Aot aid much the platform adopted at
Kansas City may. It is understood
that Mr.. Bryan had something to say
about the construction of the plat
form. We may presume therefore,
that Mr.. Bryan means about what the
platform means by the word imperial
ISM" The second paragraph of the
platform reads:
1--WE declare again that all governments
instituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
that any government not based on the
consent of the governed is tyranny, and
that to impose upon any people a gov
ernment of force Is to substitute the
methods of Imperialism for those OF .
republic =
This declaration seems to convey a
pretty clear idea of what the trainers
of the platform mean by imperial
ISM and we may safely assume that
what they mean Mr.. Bryan means.
The idea is more fully conveyed, per-
haps, by the words quoted than it
would be by formal definition.
Essentially, imperialism is arbitrary
power exercised over a people without
their consent. It is the power that the
British government asserts in many
places, though in general it exercises
the power with such moderation that
the people over whom it is asserted are
practically self-governing. At bottom
it is a fiat denial of the right Of self
government.
1t is entirely immat terial whether the
power to govern without the consent

1t is well known that the present
head of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics is preparing the campaign
textbook of the republican party.
Such scandalous Disregard of the
proper duties and dignity of that bu-
reau has never before been shown.
There have been charges made of par
tisan use in the past, but these
charges have never been proved to
such an extent as to affect the cor
rectness of the returns issued by the
bureau. There have been issued, un-
der official sanction, interpretations
of commercial and industrial returns,
favoring a particular policy or meas
ure, and when Charles Foster
was secretary of the treasury the
head of the bureau permit tied a yio-
lently protectionist interview to be
circulated as treasury document
although it was well known at the
time that the matter had been pre-
pared by another hand. Such exhi-
bitions of improper political activity
by the bureau have been rare. how
ever, and have never failed to bring
down criticism on those who were re-.
sponsible. 4
Secretary Gage must bear the full
responsibility of causing the present
scandal. He removed man of expe-

ness about Park Row. When the
thrifty burghers erected the palisade
this road extended as far as the city
gate, which was s;at Wall street, and
to designate itssas their main high
way they called it Here straat--High

start Broadway has held the place Of

streets eane. later on, and that they
developed into tangle in the. lower
part of town is not surprising when it
is Known how they were formed.
Each of the New Amsterdamers was
left perfectly free to place his house
in whatever position he might see fit;
and he was also accorded the same
liberty to surround it with any size
or shape of inclosure that struck his
fancy. As the town began to grow
little streets were opened-or rather
one should say streets were evolved
from the crooked paths that led from
one house to another. y ct in this
very PATCHWORK of streets in the low
er part of the island lies the charm of
New York downtown.
The zig-zag paths-for that is all
they are>-lend an individuality, a per-
sonality, a character, it may be said,
to that part Of the city that can be
found nowhere else. In certin parts
of all large cities there is a sameness
that cannot be shaken off In some

State streets is one of the most i'm
teresting from historical point OF
view in the city. 1t was here that the
city of New York had its being. In
1915 a small log. fort was erected on
this site, and was replaced in 1926 by
a red cedar palisade. surrounding a
storehouse. The structure could not
have been very Formidable one, for
the old traditions say that on one
occasion well-developed billy goat
butted his way through the palings.
Near here the first church erected on
Manhattan island the Reformed
Dutch church-Was begun in 1888, In
1887 the old fort was demolished and
a government house constructed, as
it was then believed that the United
States government would be perma-
nently located in New, ! ork city. The
building was Of red brick with Ionic
columns, and for those days was an
imposing structure. When the gov.
ernment was removed to Philadelphia
the house served as the residence of
the state governors, but in the early
part of 1900 it was used as United
States custom house. In 1915 it was
taken down and a large block of build
ings erected in its place.

"THE DOLLAR BEFORE THE MAN.

Of the governed is asserted by person
called an emperor or by person called
president or by a parliament or by a
congress.
The material thing is the assump-
ton of supremacy-of sovereignty
by some personeor number Of persons
over other persons whose consent is
not given and who are not consulted.
1t is the utter negation of the Amer
lean doctrine that sovereignty resides
in the people3and not in others assum-
ing by ivineright or the right of mere
might an authority above that of the
people.
This is the imperialism which has
been set up in Washington over dis
tant peoples 1T is an imperialism
which the American people cannot per-
nit to be exercised in their name over
other peoples of The earth without
ineurring great risk that it will soon
be exercised oyerthemselves.
To quote once more from the plat
form:
1--WE assert that no nation can long ems
dure half republic and half empire, and
We warn the American people that im-
perialism abroad will lead quickly and
inevitably to despotism at ;leaae."
Substantially the same thing was
said by Abraham Lincoln, but it is not
the mere dictum of any man or body
of men. 1t is an eternal truth rooted
clear down at the bottom of human
nature.
He who accepts the principle of des-
potism is fit subject of despotism-.
Men may laugh at that, but let them
remember that some things are re-
garded with tolerance to-day which
would have been rejected with indig-
nation and horror hardly, more than
two years ago.-Chicagn Chronicle.
