Democratic Ticket.

IMPERIALISTIC FEELING on the
Chinese situation is rapidly forming
in Republican ranks in the east, and
it is being urged by responsible lead
ers that the United States must take
some Chinese territory as indemnity
for its expenses in sending troops
there 1t is even seriously asserted
that such action would be actually
a matter of justice to the Chinese.
The United States and Great Brit
ain, it is said, are the only nations
in the world that have liberal ideas
and that believe in Justice toward
their ubjects. If China falls to.
gether into the hands Of the Euro
pean nations, yoke of tyranny will
be fastened upon the shoulders of
the Chinese which they will be un-
able to shake off for years, perhaps
for centuries. How much better, it
was argued, would be the "mild and
just rule' of the United States to
that of military despotism. Furth er
the United States would, it is said,
always permit the government of
interior China free access to the sea
over its territory, a right that China
will lose if the process of partition
is continued much longer. In short,
it is said that the United States
would grant to it's Chinese subjects
"as great measure of local self
government as was consistent with
their welfare, which Europe, it is
claimed, would not do. George III,
1t will be remembered, once made a
similar remark about his American
colonies.

Mr.. Stiers was one of our oldest
and most esteemed citizens. He
was man of affairs and pioneer
business man of our town, wise in
early councils for the welfare of
our village, a pleasant companion

one Of the progressive men of Lo-
gan whose good deeds will live
after him and whose kind words
and wise council will be missed by
our community. He leaves wife
and two sons I. N. and ]. A. Stiers

to mourn the going out of good
husband and kindly father. He
had lived to the ripe old age of "a
and his years were spent that the
world might be better for his hav-

BUSINESS or IDLEN ESS.

The thoughtful voter will distin-
guish between the transient and the
permanent differences between the
Republican and the Democratic
parties. Each campaign brings to
the front some temporary questions
of expediency, which are intended
to blind the eyes of the thoughtless
and attract the floating vote.
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too" won
more votes than logical arguments.
"Fifty-four forty or fight" aroused
the whole country and not few
would have preferred the fight to
the fifty-four forty. And "16 to L"
drives sound money Democrats into
the Republican party, and Silver
Republicans into the Democratic
ranks.
However, back of all these cam
paign cries, deeper than the money
question, more important than the
subject of imperialism, more vital
to the future welfare of the nation
than militarism, is the radical diff
erence between the two great his
torical parties on the tariff question.
It is not a question of protection
and free trade. No party advocates
and no nation practices absolute
free trade. The Democratic party
has, however, for years advocated
in it's platforms the well-defined
policy of "a tariff for revenue only"
refusing to recognize as democratic
the wisdom, justice or propriety of
affording either protection to Amer
lean labor or American capital in
vested in American industries.
The avowed Republican policy,
often reiterated in national plat
forms and enacted into law, as is
evidenced by the Mckinley and the
Dingley tariff bills, openly affirms

In city of our size there is no
reason why there should not be a
much closer utilization between the
churches in their work. It has been
suggested to the writer that the
preachers should take the initial
step in this direction by forming
themselves into local association.
Let them meet for the discussion of
local social and religious questions.

Strauss Played the Chant.

Tbe teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler, the choirmaster of St. Stevens church th Vienna, who tried to get the wsltzes out of the boys head and put in tnelr place anthems and chorals. In this undertaking he met with indifferent success, for the worshippers in one of the Vienna churche, were startled on g Sunday morning when there poured forth from the organ, filling the gloomy building by it's enchanting notes, waltz instead of the solemn Gregorian shant to which they were accustomed
 tt was Johann Strauss, Jr. who had taken the organist'a place and substi- tuted his own favorite selection for the usual sacred n1sic, much to the dis may of the pious folk and the amuse. ment Of the younger people of the con- gregasien.-E Steiner in the 1anra- E7au Companion.

X BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS.
Flow He rrlcled Merchant Into 6lxing
 Him Money.

N. Gordier. 8 retired merchant of Paris much given to consulting spirits in emergencies. has been tricled in a rather amusing manner by an amateur ghost, who resided in rooms eontigu- ous to those of the es-busIness man, says the London Telegraph The lat ter lately told friends and aequaint- 4nees that he had melancholy mes- sage fran spiritland to the effect that his son, who traded in Tonqutu, had been murdered by pirates The dis- honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked one night at M. Cardier'e wall, and an- nouneed that he was spirit who wanted money for masses to be said in certain church for the repose of the soul Of the retired merchants son. A sum of 160 francs was required and the phantom asked NJ. Cordier to be good enoueh to put 1t under the first chair on the left side Virgins altar in the church of Saint Sulpiee. It ap- pears that M Gordier deposited sev- .ral donations for the ghost under the chair, and the money was regularly taken away. h the meantime, the son supposed to be dead came home from Tonquin unharmed and unhurt. The young man had, in fact, no adven- ture with pirates. and was engaged in very prosaie business me eters during his stay in the far east The son laid trap one night for the g@ost, who was invited by Cordier senior to walk into his flat in the dark. No sooner had the spirit entered the room than he received. 3 blow on the head from big stick brandished by the traveller from Tonquin. The guilty phantom fed, but was pursued down the stairs and into the street by father and son. The spirit rsoYed to be a very sub- stantial adsenturer. who was recog- nized by the police as a person much wanted for acts of swindling of a di- versifed and in some instances of a very ingenious sort.

Wonan,a Perseverance.

An interesting story of a woman's perseverance comes from the wilds of G1amorgansIire. England She haa inhe@ged small farm. and as soon as she arrived at marriageable age be- gan looking for a husband to share her lot. She was quickly married, but the couple had hardly settled down to welded bliss when the husband died without having had a chance to begin to cultivate the farm Not intimidated by this, the widow married a second husband who sowed the fields with grain. He likewise died. She tried a third. who reaped the grain, but death soon snatehed him away She then married fourth, who thrashed the grain. He also followed the fate of his predecessors. She then married a fifth husband, with whom she enjoyed the produce of the farm. Tbe little woman had boldly married five men in the short space of eighteen months.

Strange Freak of Fate.

Says the Portland Oregonian' 1T is
the belief Of some historians that the
name Oregon is Aragon in disguise.
that It was given to this country by
the early Spanish voyagers and that
American explorers so interpreted the
word given them by the indians The
theory is at least plausible and indi-
Gates a strange freak Of fate. The
name Spain proudly brought to this
distant coast returned to the West In
dies 300 years later to destroy the
power Of Spain on the seas! Little
thought De Fuca when he sighted this
coast In 1892 that some day 1t would
build a warship which, under the name
Of Aragon, or oregon, would be fore
most In the battle that marked the end
Of SPANS dominion in the new world"

SALARIES OF OUR PLAYERS.

Franklin Fyles, writing Of "The The
ater< and Its People" in The Ladies
Home Journal, touches Interestingly
upon the earnings Of actors and cor
reefs the oft repeated reports Of the
enormous earnings OF players. "Sala-
ries vary with circumstances" he says.
'The manager may find at SO a week
a player whose moderate talent exact
ly hts a part Of considerable impor-
tance. He may have TO pay $3.50 If the
role is singular and fit candidates
scarce. If he wants celebrity in addi-
ton to ability, he may be willing to
make the salary $500 week. In that
case he takes into account the public
value Of the name and makes a feature
Of II In his advertisements.
"Not more than ten actors in Amer
lea, aside from the stars. receive as
much as $3.50 a week, and not more
than Ave actresses are paid this
amount. In fact, $3.50 a week is excep-
tional, and 500 will engage an excel
lent hero or heroine, a fine comedian
or a delineator of eccentric character.
The wages run down TO $75 for a SOU
brette, ingenue or old man, TO $50 for
an old woman, Juvenile man or juvenile
woman, and so along to utility and

pecuItarity of Snakes.

A snake tanner who had trained a
serpent to follow him around the house
and even out Of doors happened one
day to take 1t with him to a strange
place. The snake, unused to the local
ity, suddenly seemed to forget all his
training and, escaping into the bushes
renisted capture with bites and every
indication Of wildness. When caught,
II at once resumed its tame habits.
This tendency to become wild imme-
diately upon obtaining their freedom
and to again become tame when caught
is said to be a popularity of snakes
