Gently in clumps of virgin forest that
fringe the lake shore at Edgewater a
party of high school pupils discovered
a dead woodpeeker hanging head
downward from the limbless side of a
tall tree, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle. It's legs did not seem to attach to
anything, but on closer scrutiny a
particularly fine-spun, though very
strong, cobweb was found entangling
the tiny birds claws.
The youths had not concluded their
speculations as to "the how and the
whyness" of the birds sad end when

NEARING OF IMPERIALISM.
Entirely at Variance with the True
Principles of Freedom ana
Fairness.

II definitions in the dictionaries will
not aid much the platform adopted at
Kansas City may. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bryan had something to say
about the construction of the plat
form. We may presume, therefore,
that Mr.. Bryan means about what the
platform means by the word Imperial
ISM" The second paragraph of the
platform reads:
I'VE declare again that all governments
Instituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed !;
that any government not based on the
consent of the governed Is a tyranny, and
that to impose upon any people a gov
eminent of force is to substitute the
methods of imperialism for those of a
republic"
This declaration seems to convey q
pretty clear idea of what the trainers
of the platform mean by Imperial
ism" and we may safely assume that
what they mean Mr.. Bryan means.
The idea is more fully conveyed, per-
haps, by the words quoted than it
would be by formal definition.
Essentially, imperialism is arbitrary
power exercised over people without
their consent. 1t is the power that the
British government asserts in many
places, though in general it exercises
the power with such moderation that
the people over whom it is asserted are
practically self-governing. At bottom
it is a fiat denial of the right of self
government.
II is entirely immaterial whether the
power to govern without the consent

TRADE OF TlENTSIN.
II IL One of the Most Important Com
mercInI cities of the Chinese
COast.

The bund, or water front. gives one
some adequate idea of the commercial
importance of Tientsin. The decks
of Liverpool or New York, although
many times greater in extent, are not
more crowded and busy. Here the
lighters, anchored in the river, lust
across the way from the great ware
houses, are loaded with cargo to be
sent out or which has just been re-
ceived from the ships at Taku. There
are mountains of bales done UP in
mating and bound securely with iron
for their protection in the long jour
ney to the uttermost quarters of the
globe; there are boxes and casks of
Chinese make marked London or
Hamburg, and in the midst Of all this

of the governed is asserted by person
called an emperor or by person called
president or by parliament or by a
congress.
The material thing is the assump.
ton of supremacy-of sovereignty
by some person or number of persons
over other persons whose consent is
not given and who are not consulted.
1t is the utter negation of the Amer
lean doctrine that sovereignty resides
in the people and not in others assum-
ing by divine right or the right of mere
might an authority above that of the
people.
This is the imperialism which has
been set up in Washington over dis
tant peoples. 1t is an imperialism
which the American people cannot per-
NIT to be exercised in their name over
other peoples of the earth without
mourning great risk that it will soon
be exercised over themselves.
To quote once more from the plat
form:
1--WE assert that no nation can long en-
dure half republic and half empire, and
we warn the American people that i'm
perialism abroad will lead quickly and
inevitably to despotism at home"
Substantially the same thing was
said by Abraham Lincoln, but it is not
the mere dictum of any man or body
of men. 1t is an eternal truth rooted
clear down at the bottom of human
nature.
He who accepts the principle of des-
potism is a fit subject of despotism-
Men may laugh at that, but let them
remember that some things are re-
garded with tolerance to-day which
would have been rejected with indig-
nation and horror hardly more than
two years ago.-Chicago Chronicle.

like fairy touches? No? Well, here are
the figures: Say she writes 40 words

strikes, and averaging five letters to

New idea in Bible Making.

Something new in Bible making has
been thought of by Coventry, Eng,
publisher, who has had the temerity
to put the New Testament before the
Old. He explains himself as follows;
The Old Testament is meant as a
candlestick upon which the New Tes-
lament should stand; yet we have
largely made it an extinguisher which
puts out the light. If the
Christian Scripture is the medium by
which we draw nearer the supreme
manifestation of God on earth, should
it not be placed first in fact as well 40

The exports of scientific instru-
ments from the United States to for
eign countries during the past nine
months amounted to nearly $5,000,-
900, being an increase of 81 per cent.
over the corresponding period of the
previous year, and larger per cent. of
increase than for any other class of
exports. This is notable showing
of the increasing appreciation which
our scientific apparatus is receiving
abroad.

of 1880 feet, one of the deepest wells

where Bryan Is strong.

Bryan shows his greatest personal
strength in the fact that he is to-
day, as he has ever been, utterly with
out a political machine. Other men
in American politics stand or fall for
reasons outside of their personality.
David Hill, for instance, is a geo.
graphical location. Mr.. Mckinley is
kind of syndicate. Roosevelt stands
for an ideal of civic righteousness.
Mr.. Croker is an impudent appetite.
Q1ay is a system of wireless teleg-
raphy. But Bryan is Bryan, and Bry-
IN is his prophet. More power for
good or evil rests under Bryan's black
SLOUGH hat than under any other sim
gle headpiece in America. Bryan is
machineless, not because he abhors
the machine, but because he ignores
it. He would not know what to do
with captains and Heutenants. If his
party should begin to turn from him,
Bryan could not call: "What, no,
warder, let the portcullis fall" in a
score of states and check the STAN
pede. If oratory would not stop the
panic, the multitude would have to
leave him as it came to him. After
which he would go on leeturing until
that gave out, and running for the
senate till that gave out, and for con-
gress till that gave out, when he
would return to his law Office and
continue as he was in the beginning,

country lawyer, with an extraor-
binary voice and a forceful, direct,
plausible way of putting short An
