Business Mems Club.

For some time the organization of a
business mems club. to have headquar-
tiers in the new Stangenwald block, has
been under consideration, but, nothing
has thus far been done. If organized,
the club will probably be carried on
by subscription, each member paying
in a fee of 500, with the membership
limited to one hun 1red. This plan will
place a fund of SIC 900 at the disposal
of the club. I ne running expenses will
be met by monthly dues which will ag-
gregate about $4,000 year.

Mr.. w. A. Rhodes. of Garden
City, is in Meade this week canvass
ing for DR.. Farrar's book, the "Life
of Christ" which is just published.
The book contains about 900 illus
tratlons and over 500 pages. The
illustrations are superb and give a
thorough and comprehensive under
standing of this great character.
The book is recommended highly by
the divines of all the denominations
as well as the press throughout
America and England. 1t is book
that should be in every household
in the land. Mr.. Rhodes will be in
this vicinity for several days and
everyone should avail themselves of
the opportunity of securing copy.
The book recommends itself. We
have examined the work personally
and can say that it is as good book
of the kind as we have ever seen.
The price is Sa.as, which is very
reasonable for book of this size.

"Such in brief are the events
which have led up to the present
campaign and have fashioned the
policy of the republican administra-
ton under the leadership of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Such has been his
vacillating conduct and his policy.
Weak in its nature, it is worse than
that of the tyrant. 1t leads to the
same end. 1t commits our country
to the doctrine that we should be
free ourselves, but yet enslave other
people. 1t commits the American
republic to the English system of
colonization. for one register my
antagonism to this proposition. l
believe that it is detrimental to the
best interests of our whole wellbeing,
to our financial, commercial, intel
lectual and social advancement.
Further, 1 believe that it is a men
ace, dark and strong, to the exist
ence of self-government among US. "
Mr.. Wellington declared his con-
viction that president Mckinley is
but the proconsul of the English
queen in the management of Ameri-
can affairs"

The Transvaal was annexed to the
English Empire last week by proc
lamation of Lord Roberts. Thus
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
Republics have been wiped off the
earth, and no other republic has
raised its voice against it or even
offered resolution of sympathy.
Unfortunate for these two states
they were on the wrong side of the
globe. Had they been on the west
ern hemisphere they would have
been under the protection of the
Monroe doctrine, but it is doubtful
whether or not this administration
would have enforced it, although
they are entitled to the benefit of
the doubt.

pelago.
"This was my my understanding,
and upon that promise 1 voted for
the ratification of the treaty. With
out my vote it would not have been
ratified. The treaty was ratified,
but the promise of the president was
not fulfilled. I will do Mckinley
justice: When he gave the pledge
he intended that it should be kept.
l believe his purpose then was that
there should be no permanent &C
QUESTION; that there should be no
enforcement of American authority
against the will of the natives, but
that there should be an upbuilding
power that would give the foundation
for a government of their own choos-
ing and that we would treat with
them, receive their concessions and
protect them in their liberty against
the world. But, sir, that intention
faded away against the malevolent
influences that have pursued his ad-
ministration and made themselves
felt. Gradually the president chang
ed front. Congress had adjourned;
the treaty had been adopted; the
stipulated price was paid; our ar
