Imperialism is not at all applicable to
the character of President Mckinley
administration. The term applies to the
rule of an emperor, not that of ruler
chosen by and representing the people.
President Mckinley, as the constituted
representative Of great Republic, has
lifted the yoke of oppressive Imperialism
from the shoulders of $4,000 Porto
Ricans, from 100000 Cubans, and TO-
100000 Filipinos. He has freed more
subject colonists from the tyranny of
Spain than Washington delivered from
the oppression of Great Britain yet in
view Of these facts of history Bryan
would have the country believe that it
must choose between him and an En-
peror. Mckinley is the champion anti
imperialist of the age so far as acts 60.

The President has appointed 48 en-.
listed men in the regular army as
second lieutenants in that organization,
and assigned them to various arms of
the service. All the men have excellent
service records and were promoted
strictly on merit, having made high
averages in their examinations. Unoer
the law these appointments will follow
this years graduates of the military
academy, and will leave but II vacancies
in the army TO be filled by appointments
from civil life. This is very com
mendable act in the President. We are
glad to see merit in men in actual ser
vice, recognized. To give enlisted men
opportunity to rise is right and just.

his bow and smile were not OF the on
seouious stupid kind so often affected by
colored walters and doormen in notes.
He took my friends hat aud gave no
check for it in return. An hour later
when the professor came out OF the
dining room, the negro glanced. at MN
in comprehensive way, turned TO INC
shelves and handed him his hat.
"My friend is man who prldes MIN
self on his power of observation, and tine
negro's ability to remember to whom

him as being something very wonderful u,

He Found a Home.

From an orphan asylum in st. Louis,
Mo-, comes an interesting story A
millionaire of that city with his wife
visited the institution, and while IN the
nursery stopped to admire pretty boy
iurt waking from a nap. The baby
smiled at the millionaire's wife, and
stretching his chubby arms toward her,
said Take baby" She took him IN her
arms, and the child laughed gleefully, as
he commanded: pretty mother, kiss
baby" The rich man and his wife look
ed at each other, and the same thought
flashed into both minds, as their home
was childless. When they left the build
ing the golden haired boy was taken to
the carriage AMI the orphan asylum had
a vacancy.
