cial. Prof Collier Cobb lectured last
night on the Yellowstone National Park
to crowded house. in spite of the

within its limits has an elevation of less
than 5000 feet. while many of the
mountain peaks within and adjacent 10

feet above the level of the sea. On
three sides the Park is guarded by lofty,
well-rdght inaccessible. snow-capped
mountains, enclosing an area of the
worlds most remarkable scenery, where
fire and water are ever struggling for the
mastery. The lecturer gave an interest
ing account of the terraces, geySers, mud
volcanoes and Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone, which make this absolutely
unique area Natures Wonderland. The
lecture was profusely illustrated with
stcreopticon views, taken in the Park
the past summer, and painted by hand
from nature, the most superb pictures

In speaking OF the reduction of the

said:
"The State Constitution requires
that $250,00o OF the outstanding bonds
Of the State be called IN annually. One
million dollars would accordingly be
the amount which the law requires
the State debt to be reduced during

newspapers Of the State have ell along
been belittling the efforts of the
Democratic administration In reducing
so rapidly the States indebtedness,
charging that the Constitution re-
quired that the reduction be made.
"The State debt has dwindled rapidly
since the Democrats have assumed
charge of Missouri, and each sdminis-
tration has managed most successfully
its inances. During this administra-
ton the State debt has been reduced

II might have been sons Of the Re-

teresting and Instructive throughout
and was well worth going miles to

the question Of "Tmperlalism,n he Is
entirely out Of his class when be locks

as IL is pretty generally conceded, Re-
publicans coneurring. that Clark is
not only u Of the brightestmen In.
Congress, but that he Is pre-eminent-
ly the best debater In either branch Of
Congress to day.
Mr.. CLARK pointed out the many
dangers Of the present policy Of i'm
periaIism, and warned his hearers
that this Republic cannot long endure
half free and half slave. Mr.. Dolll-
yer did not deny the dangers OF i'm

OF the present administration tended
toward imperialism. This 10 q matter,
however, which any observer Of the
policy of the administration may
determine for himself, and not one
in which he need accept the state
