The Presidential Campaign OF 1900.

The wars of America have, here
tOfore, settled affairs of state.
Great questions of policy, of ma
tional moves and national conclu-
sions have been answered as soon
as the battle smoke cleared away,
and the victor realized by his VIC
tory. The war with Spain is un-
like its predecessors. 1t has not
answered questions, but has crea-
ted problems which may not be
solved lightly. The result of the
campaign of 1900 will make a
broad mark upon the page of his
tory; it will doubtless establish the
policy of the great Republic of
America for a quarter of Ia century.
1t is vastly important, therefore,
that every citizen shall study the
sitU alton through that best of me-
diums, a great newspaper. The
most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is The Semi Weekly
Republic, which affords compre-
hensive view of the political situa-
ton in all its bearings. 1t pub
fishes the new news. The Semi
Weekly Republic is a democratic
paper, but it offers to its readers
the news regarding all the politi-
cal parties, and this without pre-
judice.
The subscription price of the
Semi Weekly Republic is s1.OO
per year. The Republic Sunday
Magazine s1.25 per year. Both
papers are now being offered a. the
very low price of sI.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for
at the same time.

No Reason For IL.

There seems to be a desire on
the part of one or two individuals
to have the United States court
now in session adjourned, alleging
as a reason the prevalence of
smallpox. They say that it is
dangerous and there is likelihood
of the disease spreading from the
gathering of witnesses.
Precautions have been taken by
the town council and town board
of health. The national board of
health is using due diligence in
ferreting out suspected cases, and
there is every reason to believe
that the disease is under control.
A due regard for the health of
the people and safe and conserv-
ative plan has been taken under
consideration by the court, and it
is thought that the continuation
will not be inimical to the health
Of the community.
Judge Thomas is no doubt a
perfectly safe man under con-
ditions of this kind and Marshal
Bennett is a good counselor, and
whenever they deem it necessary
they will attend to the court bus.

Buddhism Defined.

Prof. Maxwell Sommerville, who

Buddhist creeds, and who is a distin-

recently returned from Europe where
he visited those lands and secured
Buddhist Temple, which has been
set up in a room in the University of
Pennsylvania. He lectured few
days ago to large audience in Wild
ener Hall, giving an account of the
Temple, the deities, which he has
collected, an outline of the worship of
these idols, and description Of the
various objects connected herewith.
In regard to the idolators he said: "I
cannot say to-day that they that
make the idols are entirely like unto
them, for my experience by dwelling
with them is, that the men who make
and revere these images are good men
ancd itizens, honest, amiable, consid-
crate oftheir neighbols, and even kind
to strangers. What do we expect of
religion as regards its effects on manin
this world? If we regard the benefit
OfreligiOn then indeed these Buddhists
are better for their faith" The lect-
ure evidenced the close observation,
profound research, ripe scholarship
and wide information which Prof.
sOmmerville has CLEANED by life Of
travel and study in foreign lands.

Work for egg production, for where
chicks are raised only for marked, the

keep them for long time, but this
they cannot do with eggs, for the
public will have fresh eggs, and they
bring good prices. For layers have
your chicks hatched as early as you
can, and when the cockerels weigh 2
pounds, sell them without delay,
then go through your your flock, and
all that do not come up TO your ideas
of what a layer should be, get rid of,
for they will only prove dead heads
in the line of profit. Gull out all late

Republican party has but to follow
a conservative, steady, business. like
course, and it will remain In power
for years. What the people want l
believe, is to see the material well
fare of the country advanced on safe
lines, and think the policy of the
Republican party will keep that in
view. l do not think mere partisan
politics will enter into the policy,
but that the efforts of the party will
be directed toward the material i'm
provement of the country in a way
to benefit the whole people. and that
we shall have support, not alone
from Republicans, but from Demo-

the interests of the whole people,
