novel reason for opposing McKin-

Post by a resident of Arkansas. 1t is
that his election now would mean a
third term in 1904 and after that a
despotism. Undoubtedly this is very
terrifying to those anxious to be
scared.

Broken Bric-a-bracs.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. OF
New York. explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudeS who use this standard ar
tiCle know that il is many hundred per cent
better than other dement's for which similar
claims are made. out great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Ma Tor uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. MIG Major tells
US that one of the elements OF his cement
costs 80 IS a pound. and another costs 81 IS
a gallon. while a large share of the SO-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than a SiXteen-cent glue,
dissolved in water or Citric acid, and in some
cases altered slightly in color and Odor by
the addition OF cheap and useless materials.
Major cement retails At fifteen cents and
TWENTY-FIVE cents a bottle. and when deal
er tries to sell a substitute you can depend
anon il that that his only object is to make
a large profit.
as anv dealer ought TO make on any cement.
And this is dOubly true in view OF the TACT
Thai each dealer gets his share OF the bene-
lit OF Mr.. Major advertising. which now
amounts to over $500 a month. throughout

Missouri and the President
From the s.. Louis Rennbllc.


The President S policy of imperialism
and militarism has unquestionably caused
him 80 lose strength in this State There
are two reasons for this fact The first
is that the people of the Middle West are
still faithful to American spirit and tradi-
ton. They prefer the Republic to an
Empire They condemn our entry into
the ranks of the land grabbing and colony
depressing Powers of Europe. They de-
plore the President hostility to the Boer
cause, for the reason that such a cause
should appeal with tremendous magnetism
to every true American. Webster Davis
represents the Middle West Republicans,
The second factor in the President loss
of popularity in Missouri is due to Ger
American sentiment. Republicans of
this blood cannot b ring themselves to APP
prove policy the evil workings of which
made themselves or their fathers exiles
from the Fatherland They know the
dangers of imperialism. They know the
peril and the grinding burden of big stand
ing armies They have at last seen that
they must abandon Mr. Mckinley because
the President is apparently bent upon fixing
these evils on the American people 1t is
now clear case of holding principle above
party-or, at least, of not blindly following
a leader who threatens the destruction of
party.

Otis is over. Anyhow
From the Ss~ Yors worLi


Il l., IN a way, a relief 20 the country
To- learn that Gen. O,is has been relieved.
Il Is fully a year aEo that Mr. Mckln-
lev personal representative in the Philip
pines began sending bulletins that the
war l. over. These official fairy tales
have been repeated with anblushing re-u
larity about every two weeks since, and
vet the latest reports Of the losses Of our
troops and the killing Of the Philippines
show bigger average for the first three
months Of this year than for the preceding
quarter
General Otis insisted at the beginning
of the trouble that with 30, 900 troops he
could soon end the instruction When
this force proved utterly inadequate he
was given more than 90, 000-a larger
army than the United States ever employed
against a foreign foe. Yet the 'insurgent
bands swarm everywhere There is not
a town or a district where Americans would
be safe without military protection. And
even the optimistic Otis admits in a letter
that a large body Of troops must be kept
in the islands indefinitely
Macarthur may or may not do better,
but the country will be glad that Otis is
lover, if the war isn't
