The Republic in Danger
New York Journals Warning.

Bad as Puerto Rican oppression is in itself it is not
the most sinister phase Of the present situation.
1t is obvious any reasoning being that when
President Mckinley made his humilating change OF
the demand of the trusts it must have been tor
a substantial consideration. The most moderate and
reasonable supposton is that this consideration
the purchase of his reelection The representatives of
the trusts may be imagined as saying
Never mind popular elamor. Depend on us and we
will guarantee your reelection. There popular
clanor against Hanna, but he elected-aganst
Quay but he elected CLAMoR DOES NOT AVAIL.
AGAINST CASH. WE LOOK THOSE WHO LOOK
OUT U.s.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Mckinley converted by this
powerful argument the force of which he had already
experienced, and in the coming elections shall
shudder the axe laid at the roots of the Amer
Republic.
Enormous ageregations of capital will use their
wealth corrupt the people and buy the return to
power of party that has fosteed them The trusts
will put millions of dollars into the coming campaign
and the great question issue will not be the tariff,
silver Bryan or Mckinley, but whether the Anler
can people can be bought and whether the power of
INSCRIPTIONS wealth which corrupted and destroyed
Rome shall begin the destruction of the great Aneri
can Republic
AS has been said many times in these columns,
the foundations of a republic the intelligence inde
pendence and integrity of its citizens. WHERE THE
CITIZENS TOO IGNORANT TO EXERCISE AN INTEL
LIcENT BALLOT CORRUPT EXERCISE
HONEST BALLOT, REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT BECOMES
IMPOSSIBLE.
The Roman Republic not overthrown by anb-
ton but fell through corruption and to realize ade

Judge Jas. L. Russell has given
almost entire satisfaction during his

there is little, if any doubt as to

' SNhILS' TEETH.
They Run About 10000 20 the Snail.
but AoOO or SO Are Used NJ One Time.

at is n fortunate thing for man and
| the rest Of the animal kingdom" said
the naturalist, that no large wild
animal has n mouth constructed with
the devouring apparatus built on the
plan OF the MISUNDERSTANDING snairs
mouth, for that animal could out
devour anything that lives. The snail
itself is such an entirely unpleasant,
not to say loathsome, creature to handle
that few amateur nsturalists care to
bother with II, but by n%eglecting the
snail they miss studying n Of the
most interesting objects that come
under their observation.
"Any one who has noticed a snail
feeding on n leaf must have wondered
how such n soft, fiabby. Shiny animal
can make such a sharp and clean-cut
lncision in the leaf, leaving an edge
as smooth and straight as If 1t had
been cut with a knife. That Is due to
the peculiar and formidable mouth he
has. The snail eats with his tongue
and the roof Of his mouth. The tongue
Ia n ribbon which the snail keeps in
a coll In his mouth. This tongue is
In reality a band saw, with the teeth
on the surface instead Of on the edge.
The teeth arc so small that as many
as 10000 Of them have been found on
n snairs tongue. They are exceed
ingly sharp and only n few OF them
are used at a tlme-not exactly only
n few Of them, but a few of them

ably have 1000 or 5000 Of them in
use at once. He does this by means
Of his coiled tongue. He can uncoil
as much as he chooses, and the un-
coiled part he brings into service. The
roof of his mouth Is as hard rs bone.
He grasps the leaf between his tongue
and that hard substance, and, rasping
away with his tongue, saws through
the toughest leaf with ease, always
leaving the edge smooth and straight.

come dulled. When the snail finds
that this tool Is becoming blunted he
uncOils another section and works that
out until he has come to the end of the
coil. Then he coils the tongue I'D
again and Is ready to start in new,
for while he has been using the lat
ter portions Of the ribbon the teeth
have grown in again in the idle por-
tions-the saw has beer filed and re-
set. so to speak-and while he is using
them the teeth In the back part Of the
coil are renewed. So / think I am
right In saying that IL any large beast

vouring apparatus as the snail has 1t

Or shall our day como when the winter
Slips at the pane and blurs the land from

And all the hearth is glorious with light
That dances on old prints and tankards

And all the books we cherish ovcr.well
Shall lie beside ~ while we sit aud tell

Dogs on Enslish Highways,

Many dog owners seem to be ma
ware that they are responsible for the
proper behavior of their pets in public
places. 1t Is Of the commonest occur
renee for some cur to dash into the
roadway, to bark and snap at u pass
Ing tramp or cyclist, without any at
tempt being made by the animals
owner to call 1t to order. Only In very
rare instances. either. does 1t receive
punishment, even of the slightest kind
when 1t returns from the foray. The
natural result is, of course, that it feels
encouraged to repeat it's misconduct,
and the evil habit becomes SO in
grained as to be incurable. 1t Is only
charitable to that the COM
placency with which the owners re.
gard these performances Is the prod
uct of ignorance. In their eyes, the
outbreak Is nothing worse than a live
ly demonstration of harmless playful
ness. Ladies are especially apt to take
that view; they cannot believe that
the frolicsomeness of their canine com
panions may imperil human life. That
IL the case. nevertheless; only Il few
days < a farmer was killed near
Bedford through the horse he was
driving taking fright at an aggressive
dog and upsetting the trap. Even Pc
de%strians are sometimes assailed by
Objectionable ours; while many a cy.
clist has come to grief In his endeavor
to keep clear Of a bounding, swapping
dog. 1t Is the owner who is mostly
to blame; the propensity can easily be
eradicated by swift and sharp chas.
tisement at every repetition of the Of.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

When you have faults do not fear
to abandon them.
1t Is a beautiful necessity of our ma
ture to love something.
Benevolence is to love all men
knowledge Is to know all men.
Learning without thought Is labor
lost; thought without learning Is peril
GUS.
If a man take no thought about
what is distant he will find sorrow in
store.
He who speaks without modesty
will find 1t difficult to make his words
good.
Remember this - that there Is a
proper dignity and proportion to be
observed in the performance of every
act Of life.
Practice complete relaxation Of
brain, nerves and body. Use one-half
the will lorce in this as in other things
and you will succeed.
The moral courage that will lace OBJ
loquy in n good cause is much a rarcr
gift than the bodily valor that will
confront death in n bad one.
Education does not mean teaching
people to know what they do not
know. 1t means teaching them to be-
have as they do not behave. 1t IL pain
full, continual and difficult work, TO he
done by kindness, by watching, by
warning. by precept, and by praise,
but above all. by example.
Where vindictiveness is shown we
may be sure that there is n lack Of
moral sense. 1t is somewhat curious
to observe also that the vindictivc
have seldom any real wrong to re-
venge. They very often imagine the
injury they seek to return in kind or
distort the circumstances which gave
rise to the injury, real or supposed.

How Caviar IL Made.

The making Of caviar Is n simple
process. 1t can be prepared In any
household convenient TO n sturgeon
fishery. In fact, under these condi-
lions only is 1t had In absolute pcrfcc-
ton, for the longer II Is kept either
sealed in glass or tin the more rapid
It's deterioration. 1t is for this reason
that the caviar eaten In Russia,
where 1t is served from the original
packages, is SO far superior to that
procurable elsewhere. In the cayier
Of commerce the roe MS soon as II Is
taken from the fish is placed IN tanks,
when it is carefully washed. Then II
Is rubbed through screens until tho
eggs are separated. The last process.
or rather next to the last Is the pack
Ing In salt In kegs, and the keeping
of 1t cool in ice or cold storage until
II reaches the canners, who seal It in
tins or In bottles for export. This il
all the manipulation that II Unlergocs.
When prepared for household use the
. leansing, separation OF The eggs aud
packing In fine salt are all that Is nee
essary. There Is hut one way of scrv-
ing 1t and that Is on toast or brown
bread and butter or az canapes with
lemon juice and n little olive oil. 1t
is the only alimcnt that admits of but
a single method of culinary treatment.

Proposed Celebration.

A national celebration OF the 200th
anniversary of the starting Of a news
paper In America will take place In
1904. owing to the suggestion Of Mayor
Nichols In an address before the State
Editorial Association ut Wilkesbarre,
Penn. The association appointed
a committee To confer with the
associations OF other States. and II
possible bring 1t about. In the curse
Of his address Mayor Nichols said:
John Campbell IL the real founder
OF journalism In the United States,
THE Boston News Letter. was born
April "a, 1904. and existed until 1776
During the first sixteen years of this
period 1t "A the only newspaper
printed In the colonies. Fourteen
years prior to Campbell's venture Ben
jamin Harris issued one copy of "Pub
lick Occurrences" which was immedi
ately suppressed by members Of tn,
Kings official family because Of 4

Of American journalism is truly al
event that ought TO be commemorate
and Its author deserves a conspicuous
place In American history.

Some of the Advantages.

In speaking about the advantages
of good roads a prominent official of
the League Of American Wheelmen
says:
IF there is a method Of accomplish.
ing twice as much as heretofore with
a given amount of effort. 1t Is to the
farmers interest to discover and
adopt it. Economy Of labor means ad.
ditional acres which he can find time
to make productive. The only way to
compute the value of labor Is to In
be purchased. 1t has been found that
IL the farmers of the United States
had to pay someone else for marketing
their crops IL would cost them on an
average twenty-five cents every time
Il ton was hauled a mile are to mar
ket. In other words, 1t costs twenty
five cents a ton n mile. / say on an
average, for it's costs considerably less
In many localities. Yet 1t costs suffi-
GENTLY more In many others to make
1t average as large as stated. Taking
an average OF the number of miles
Travelled 1t costs on an average $500
n ton from the farm to the railroad
station. 1t costs only $1.S7 In the
Northern and Eastern States. hut in
the Pacific coast and mountain States
it runs up as high as $5.12. This, of
course, is for the value Of the farmers
time and that of his team and wagon.
or what he would have to pay someone
else, ut q fair price, to do his hauling
for him. How was all this found out?
1t Is the result OF careful inquiries
made by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and of estimates
received from farmers throughout the
United States in reply to 10000 re-
quests for such information. These in.
quiries Were made for the simple pur-
pose of getting at the facts so that
farmers might know what could be
saved by the building of good roads,
and might better be able to determine
how much they could afford to spend
| for building them"

1t is related of the late G. p. Hunt.
lngton that a young man once called
on him to sell some much needed rails
at $40 n ton. Mr.. Huntington said
he had rails to sell himself, amused
the caller by a half-hour's chat and
got him to sell at $G6 a ton. with a
six months note for pay. Then be.
fore the man left Mr.. Huntington dis

As an experiment the University
Of Missouri this year organized a sum-
mer course in agriculture, mainly for
the benefit Of persons who were am
bilious to become instructors Mt ag.
ricultural experiment stations or to
take charge Of large ranches in the
West. The attendance has exceeded
expectations, showing the desire of
the young men OF that section of the
country to master the science Of farm.
Ing. AS agriculture has been added
to the course Of study in many Of the
public schools in the West, there Is a
demand for competent teachers who
are practical farmers with q scientific

Irritation In Central Asia,

1t is announced that the Russian
Government has decided upon irrigat-

Syr, and along the Turkestan Railway.
The amount Of three million rubles
has already been appropriated for this
purpose. Up to the present time this
district is but thinly populated. but
1t is hoped that with the land being
made fit for agriculture, Russian peas

The industrial rehabilitation of Cuba
Is strikingly illustrated by the fact
that the exhibits made by her people
Mt the Paris Exposition have won
no fewer than 147 prizes. states the
New York Mail and Express. In view
of the chaotic conditions which have
prevailed in Cuba since the close of
the war and the extreme difficulty
OF preparing anything like a represent.
alive display Of the islands products,
this record Is altogether remarkable.
The moral effect of an undertaking
so thoroughly creditable will be emf.
nently wholesome to Cuba trade and
Industry. 1t means that Cuba's trying
days are ended: that her material re-
sources are responding to the touch
of enterprise, and that she has EN-
tered upon a new era of civil and com
mercial progress.
