Why does Mr.. Mckinley refuse tc
say to the British government: Gen
tlemen, IL there any way in which the
American republic can assist you to
restore peace to the world and stop
the bloodshed and waste Of vast re-
sources In war;"
II Mr.. Mckinley cannot now make
this friendly, humane appeal to Eng
land, then when Is Il or win II ever
be proper for any power to be the
peaceful, friendly spokesman for civ
ilixation? Are there any conceivable
circumstances more favorable to such
q plea than those now surrounding Mr..
Mckinley and urging him on!

stop the war, the English government

Are we here on the track Of the Sc
cret Of Mr.. MeKinley's strange silence?
Does he fear to embarrass his and Mr..
Hays friends who have plunged Eng
land into war? Are they counting upon
his silence as a factor in convincing
the British people that the war Is
just? Is It that they know that 30

from doing what 1t has the legal right

The Retort Courteous.

II Is not often that one comes across
such a crushing retort as that which a
Sussex husband received from his wife
the other day through the medium of
the public press. He advertised in one
Of the local journals that he, Thomas
B, would no longer be answera5le
for the debts incurred by his wife. "
She seems to have been a truly amia5le
creature. II one may Judge from the
advertisement which she published
next day in reply, which ran: This is
to notify that I, Elizabeth B, am
able to pay all my own debts, now
that l have got rid Of TommS. "-Spare

Bad for the Ewes.

Among the sources OF the greatest
trouble to the eyesight are the exces-
sive use Of wine, spirits or beer, and
the indIscriminate use of quinine. An
other source OF falling vision may be
traced to impeded circulation. The
wearing Of tight neckwear. such as
collars which are too small, or shirt
bands or neckties tightly drawn, should
be avoided, as they prevent the down.
ward column Of blood returning to the
heart, and dilation and development Of
disease is likely to follow. The same
rule holds good of construction Of
other parts OF the body.

Mans Perhdy.

Mans perfidy to woman is making q
lot Of trouble in Vienna. The society
craze for poker has reached q point
that called for the interference Of the
police. Warnings were sent to clubs
that the game must not be played. and
several leading society women were
summoned to police headquarters and
cautioned against allowing the game
any longer in their parlors. They de-
MED the imputation Indignantly when
the chief Of police read to them the
names Of the persons who had lost
money at their houses and the sums
lost After hunting around for a tins
It was discovered that the persons who
had betrayed them were their own hus-
bands, who found all other methods In

a PEOPLES GOVERNMENT.

Senator James X. Jones, through thl
National Waterman. among other
things. concerning the Puerto Rican
bill says: The government OF the
United States rests fundamentally in
the people themselves. The govern
ment Is creature OF the people through
the constitution, which confers upon the
government all the powers that It pos
sesses and defines the limitation Of
that power. The government has no
power not derived from the people
through the constitution, and the idea
that the government 4 something OF
itself independent Of the people, with
the power to do things not conferred
upon 1t by the constitution, Is an as
sumption which, II carried into effect,
will be subversive of the government
founded by the fathers.
Congress has no power except what
II derives from the constitution, and
where the constitution is not operative
congress has no power.
This bill Is a declaration on the part
Of the Republicans that this govern
ment has the power to make an Ire
land Of Puerto Rico or the Philippine
islands. or any other country that we
choose to oyerpower and control
IF the principles OF the constitution
are just and right and proper in New
York, they are just and right and prop
er In Arizona and New Mexico and
everywhere else that the American flag
floats as an emblem of sovereignty.
The flag represents the doctrines and
principles contained In the Declaration
OF Independence, and the constitution
is the concrete expression Of them as
a policy Of government
The Puerto Rican bill is an express
declaration in favor of imperialism, and
shows plainly to what the Republican
party means by its policy which 1t Is
inclined not to call imperialism. but to
call expansion. No matter by what
name II may be called, the thing. In
my opinion, will stink In the nostrils
OF all lovers of the principles Of the
Declaration OF Independence and all
genuine Americans"

Mrs. j. p. II. Mason, Fairfax county,
on the S,h, and came to order at the
call OF the President, +. z. Mason,
about 4:30 p. m.
Oa account OF the 81 treme heat, sick
uess 10 one family and some numbers
Of others being absent from home, the
meeting was small hut compensat q for
bV the presence Of many visitors among
whom were the Rev. Mr.. M9sde, fP, =.
nick, DR., Thos. b. Moore, Messrs Wm.
and E. ]. Nevett, Mr.. George Milstead f,
Mr. Cnas. Giobs and Messrs. James and
John Hunter.
The secretary stated that there had
been 10 meeting since June and that as
that meeting was small and no business
| transacted he had no minutes. There
having been 40 election of officers at
the time OF the regular annual meeting
in August the election was the regular
order OF business for the day.
Mr.. Harrison moved to postpone the
election OF officers on account of the
absence OF many member.
The motion WAS seconded and unaDi.
mously carried.
There was 10 subject presented for
regular consideration, so the club dis

livery OF mails, weather, crops, etc.
Mr.. T. s Wright asked il the mt NJ
oeIs generally had noted the absence
OF the potato bug (the Colorado beeile).
He had seen only about two on his
acre of potatoes and aud wondered if
the dry, hot weather had effected to
diminish them any. Others had no.
ticed that there we're fewer than usual,
md various reasons were assigned for
he providentisl scarcity of this pest.
Some thought that perhaps the hot,
dry weather had probably had the e.
itct OF killing the larvae or eggs. Others
hought that the lady bugs, that prey
upon the larvae aud eggs OF other in
-ects, have been more abundant than
usual and bad destroyed the young OF
the potato bug and some thought that

pletely killed by the use of paris green,
chat there was no second crop.
Mr.. Frank Wilkinson thought it was
not likely that the heat bad hurt them
any. His experience was that they
could stspd great deal of heat and
survive. He recently gathered the
| hard shelled beetles of of his potato
| vines into psn in the usual way AMI
then poured coal oil over them and
set it a6re, leaving them in the patch
| to DE cremated. OO next visiting his
potato patch he missed the cremated
Ougs from the pan and supposed that
! the spsrrows had found the roasted
bugs dainty morsel bu', to his SUI
prise, on careful examination he found
the same old bugs over his vines and
recognized them by their scorched
oacks. He thinks if this experiment is
repeated few times on successive gen.
erations of bugs the result will be an
absolutely freproof potato bug.
There being nothing further pr =
sented for consideration the club ad-
iourned to meet October 6, at the
