secretar " Of Committee.

More than fifty years ago Manifest
Destiny was the watchword OF Amer
lean progress. Expansion was in the
air, and in fact was the very breath Of
the American people. From that day
to this expansion has animated our
most progressive statesmen, and we
might as well attempt TO stop the flow
of Niagara as TO try TO stop the growth,
grandeur and mighty forces of Amer
lea. In American veins flows the mas
terful blood of history-English, Scotch
Irish, German, French and Scandina-
Wan, nation builders all-rugged as
the heather covered granite hills Of
the highlands, gentle as the green
wales OF Killarney, dominant on land as
are the English on the sea and with a
love for native land as strong, deep and
lasting as the German affection for the
Fatherland There has not been an
hour from the moment the Pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth to the
bright May day when Americans have
not been the missionaries of liberty
Are the Americans OF today the degen-
crate sons of noble sires? Our fathers
carried the flag from the AlleghaEies
to the Pacific, from Kentucky to the
Gulf, from the Golden Gate to the fro
zen north, and with every advance the
prophets of evil predicted the fall of
the republic But the republic grew
in size, in strength and virtue. And
there is something more beyond.
There is more freedom to give, more
schoolhouses TO build, more truth to
preach, more oceans to whiten with
American commerce, and pessimism
cannot limit our growth, paralize our
commerce, stop our development or
make us recreant TO our manifest des-
tiny.

with regard to color, both cats and
dogs appear to have little aesthetic per-
ception. We have heard OF dog APP
pearing to prefer scarlet to blue, but 1t
is difficult to eliminate the effect of as
ISOLATION in dealing with single In
stance. Cats, however, seem to show
a definite aesthetic perception of tex
ture- aesthetic, for it is not ordinary
bodily comfort which rules. They may
like to sleep on velvet, but they revel,
waking, in the feeling Of cracking pa
per or texture Of stiff silks, and there Is
a well authenticated story of a cat
which goes into the garden to lick the
undersides of foXglove leaves and can
not be kept from trying with his tongue
the texture of flannelette.
But the keenest aesthetic pleasure for
a cat lies in the region of smell. The
dog uses smell merely as a medium
of information, but the cat revels in 1t.
She will llnger near tree trunk, smell
ing each separate aromatic leaf for the
pure pleasure of it-not like a dog, to
trace friend. foe or prey. If the win
dow of close room is opened, the cat
leans out, smelling the air. New dresses
are smelled, partly, perhaps, for future
recognition, but also, apparently, for
pleasure. strong smell, above all a
spirituous smell, is not only disagree
able, but absolutely painful. Lavender
water may please tiger but it will
put cat to flight.-London Spectator.

Maj A. =. LOOMS in communica-
tion to the Ionia Sentinel recently has
endeavored TO start IA movement look
ing toward a change in the present
method of apportioning delegates to
the Republican county conventions in
this county which gives all towns an
equal representation regardless of size.
The plan he advocates and proposes is
to use the number OF votes cast for
governor is a basis aud determine the
number to be allowed from that. That
would be only partly correcting the
evil If indeed it would be correcting it
all. If we are going TO have a change
at all let US do it right. The Sentinel
says: "Under his method the township
which, in the last presidential election
gave in the neighborhood of 100 major
ity for the entire democratic tickle,
would be entitled to more delegate
than the township Of Ronald, which
gave something like $50 majority for
the entire republican ticket. Ionia
city, which went hellbent for Bryan,
would have more than twice as many
votes as Belding which was one OF the
main props of the Mckinley strength
in this county" Why wouldt much
fairer and better plan be to use the
number OF Republican votes cast for
president as bassy The matter
might be brought up at the coming
county convention and discussed and
get an expression OF the voters regard
ing it. If it's good thing, and we be-
lieve it is, let's have IL.

Some sincere, able statesmen, like
Senator Edmunds and Hoar, who dis
approve OF the Republican policy of
expansion, nevertheless are working
hard for the reelection OF Mckinley.
They reason that IL the Republican
party has made mistakes, the Demo
cratic party could be trusted only to
make far worse ones; that with its no
torious, and in hundreds OF instances OF
criminal enmity TO the colored race of
this country, the Democratic party is
not the party TO entrust with the work
of freeing the brown people of the
Philippines. Reasoning also that
questions OF good government at home
are more important than policies
abroad, those more logical of the anti
expansionists bitterly oppose "a third
ticket or any other movement which
can result only in helping to destroy
the civil service, degrade the Supreme
Court, and deduce the industrial work.
