the graduating class of the Uni
Il versity of Michigan, President
Angel presented some thoughts
concerning the uppermost political
topic of the day which are worthy of
widespread consideration. They show
him to be an educator whose bent of
mind is practical rather than theo-
retiCal. He said
"The annexation of territory in both
the Atlantic and the Pacific, whether
1t is approved or not, has unquestion-
ably impressed the European and
Asiatic nations with the conviction that
we are to be reckoned with in the solu-
tion of some problems with which We
have not heretofore concerned our
selves. The present situation is a
prophecy that we shall not, and an
assurance that we cannot, go back to
our old comparative seclusion. Should
we endeavor at once to change our
policy, should we Immediately leave
Cuba to herself and try to drop the
Philippines, we must keep Porto Rico
and the Hawaiian islands, and we must
continue to exert an influence hitherto
unknown both in Cuba and the Phil
ippines. Whatever disposition is made
of China, we must have freedom of
access to her trade, which we have
never before enjoyed, and must direct
ly or indirectly WELD a great influence
over her people in respect to trade, to
education and to religion. We indulge
in no empty rhetoric or unmeaning
figure of speech when we say that with
or without the isthmian canal we must
be great Pacific power; Japan, Korea
and Polynesia must have closer and
closer relations with us. Whatever
land in Asia or America is washed by
the waves of the great sea cannot be
secluded from the commercial and
naval power which has fully 5000 miles
of Pacific coastline without counting
the shores of the Philippines and oi
our central outpost-Hawaii.

William Mckinley in 1896 inspired
among the business interests of our
country. Confidence is the first re-
oulste of success in business. With
out confidence, capital will not engage
in new undertakings. This means that
without confidence the employment af-
forded to labor will be irregular and
uncertain, industries will be operated
on the minimum basis, to meet only
the urgent current necessities of trade,
and every person not in receipt of a
fixed income will suffer from the gem
eral contraction. The election of Nc.
Kinley impaired this confidence: his
reelection will continue it. 1t would
be impossible to estimate in figures the
money value of the Mckinley admin
istration to the American people.

the latter agreed that 1t might be
sacrifice of his political ambition II he
were nominated for president now.
But there is no opposition to him at
the white house nor at the Hanna
headquarters.
There is no wire to the white house.
For the first time in many years the
candidate for president is not in con-
stant communication with his repre-
sentatives at the convention. Mr..
Hanna receives many letters and notes
from the public generally, but no tele-
grams from Washington. No message
from the president has reached him
since he came here, unless Charles
Emory Smith brought one on Satur-
day. 1t was reported around one OF
the hotels this morning that Mr..
Hanna had been talking with the
white house over the long-distance
telephone, but he says 1t Is not true.
He wants to have a talk with his chief
some time today or tomorrow and give
him a correct idea of the situation
but thus far the president has had to
| depend entirely upon the press dis
patches for his information, and has
given neither instructions nor advice

partys record of substantial achieve
ments is the real platform Of the en-
suing campaigns; the written instru-
ment simply suggests the general pol
icy.
Three main pillars uphold mod
ern RepublCansm: Protection, sound
money and expansion. Protection has
aided the development of our natural
resources until today the United States
is the foremost industrial nation on
EARTH not only commanding an un-
rivaled home market but rapidly ac
quiring dominance of the foreign mar
kets. The circumstance noted in the
platform that under three years of Nc
Kinley our excess of exports over i'm
ports was nearly four times the
total excess during the preceding 1OT
years of the republics existence con-
stitutes at once an irrefragable vindi-
cation of the protective policy and an
unmstakable explanation of the eX-
pansion issue. Expansion is the cor
rollary of protection. 1t is effect

ment so marvellous simply compelled
the widening of the circle. by prOvi-
Dental coincidence the Spanish -Ameri-
can war happened at the psychological
moment when expanding American en-
ergy was beginning to need new fields
of opportunity and new fucrums of
commercial achievement. But had
there been no Spansh-American war,
expansion could not have long been
delayed.
Protection and sound money are
facts already fully expressed in the
forms of sovereign law. Democracy
could undo neither if it would: We
doubt that it would if It could. In 1894
IT tried the experiment of undoing pro-
lection. Instantly business convul-
sion swept across the country carry

ruptcy, forcing the sale of government

An exchange which has been studying

observation with reference to laofing

Women are not any likelier to quarrel
than men, but 1t is still fact that
women quarrel The fact that men do
also has nothing to do with this rela-
dabs and In more unusual places than
men, will be conceded. Why, 1t occurs
at club meetings and social functions
and sometimes at prayer meetings. At
a well known church there are several
ladies-all good souls-who sometimes
feel that the character of religion in one
IS not of the same brand as in another
and, there being cause for divergence of
opinion on the proposition, the subject
sometimes reaches the debating stage.
1t is not discussed in parliamentary
fashion, but the ladies have their way
of reaching beneath the armor of those
who oppose their views. For instance,
at a recent prayer meeting, in a promi-
nent Canton church, experiences were
being told. A devout lady, after CIV
ing her experiences sat down and wept,
which caused the next speaker to de-
clare that she did not know whether
she liked these emotional christians OF
not and rather inclined to the belief
that the practical christian was the
most effective for good. This was very
embarrassing for the lady who had
given vent to her emotions, but there
came time when she returned the jolt
with interest.
The lady who had talked Of practical
christianity gave her testimony on an.
other occasion, and said that she
couidn't say that she enjoyed perfect
peace" unless everything went right in
al! departments of her daily life. She
said that things not only had to go right
spiritually but perfect peace" did not
come to her unless matters went right
financially, whereupon the lady whose
emotions had been stirred on the pre-
vious occasion led Off with Lord / care
not for riches, neither silver nor gold"
The praying members hugely enjoyed
the attendant shock to the constitution
of the practical christian.
At another meeting one lady got up
and said that though she had been mar
ried some years, she had no children,
but believed she enjoyed religion the
better for that, as she had more time to
give to spiritual things, whereupon a
housewife who has an interesting little
offspring struck up: Here / raise my
Ebenezer." 1t nearly broke up the
meeting.
