Occasionally an emigrant is stopped
at Castle Garden and sent home, but
very frequently some emigrants get
into the country who are not fit to be
citizens. To distinguish is big ques-
ton. 1t is a notable fact that few
people leave the United States after
once gaining residence here. There are
few indeed of the stripe of William
Waldorf Astor. Americans all resent
the position Of that fellow with refer
ence to his native country, yet that
feeling does not prevail in old countries
against persons who come to this coun-
try. 1t is conceded that they can do
better here. so nothing is said about 1t.
1t is one of those queer rules that
doesn't work both ways.

THE AFIoGA OF PIANO PIANO.

Our president has a new title. I'm.
perialism has given him a great boos,
In the orient. The Samoans have rec
ognized "the flag and given their ad-
hesion to 1t with appropriate ceremo-
MES, and put 1t in writing in a docu-
ment which concludes as follows:
Let good and useful laws be made
let the foundations of the government
stand firm forever.
May your Susuga, the acting gov
ernor, live.
MAY his Afioga, the president of the
government of America, live, and all
the government also"
Here is the forepart of the submis-
sive document, prepared at the request
Of the survivors of the dreibund system
Of government which eliminated all the
disturbers with cannon.
"Tutuila, Pano Pano, April 2, 1900.
ITO his Susuga, Commander B. Tilley,
acting governor for the United States
of America at Tutuila.
Your Susuga-Salutations
1--WE desire to make known with the
greatest respect to your Susuga and his
Afioga, the president of the United
States of America, we are now ex-
ceedingly grateful to the great powers
for the care and protection in this
country in past days: we will continue
thus to be thankful. We rejoice with
our whole hearts on account of the It'd
ings we have received. The conven-
tions of the great powers concerning
Samoa are ended, their declarations
are thus: Only the government of the
United States of America shall rule in
Tutuila and Manua other foreign gov
ernments shall not again have author
ity there We give great thanks to
the great powes for the result; that
declaration is accepted by us with glad
hearts,"
Hats off to the Afoga of Pano Pano!
And he's going to be here on the Fourth
Of July too.

4. A. CAVNAH
MADE ADDRESS,
Spoke to Comrades of New Ber.
lin Post, G. A. r.
N INTERESTING SERVICE.
Reformed Church Filled with an Atten.
tive Audience--War Horrors Re-
called BY the Speaker In
His Able Discourse.

The Reformed church at New Berlin
was well filled on Sunday evening, the
occasion being the memorial exercises
of New Berlin Post, G. A. r., the sur
viving veterans were given the front
seats in the church and the exercises
were conducted according to the G. A.
r. ritual. The pulpit was tastefully
decorated and memorial emblems were
placed upon the walls, containing the
names Of Comrades Drunkenbrod, Karr,
Schrantz, and Pfauntz, who have pass
ed away during the past year.
The exercises were in charge Of Com
mander Frank Young, who introduced
the speaker of the evening, Capt. Henry
A. Cavnah, of Canton.
The speaker announced his text as
taken from the Goth Psalm: Some
trust in chariots, and some in horses;
we will remember the name Of the
Lord, our God" The following Is q
synopsis of the address,:
Decoration Day has become a very
sacred event in every city and hamlet
in the land. We even have a G.. A. r.
post in Alaska, and there are thousands
of the veterans scattered through
the southern states, who observe this
sacred day. 1t is not their celebra-
tion, but yours. They don the blue and
the brass to remind them of the stir
ring scenes In which they participated
during the war of the rebellion, and It
ell brings to us a sense of memory and
thoughts Of whittier we are going. It is
well for US to ponder over the duties
and grandeur Of Memorial Day.
Through 1t, we leave legacy of patrio-
tism and loyalty to coming generations.
We are all proud Of our country. We
are proud of the record of our boys
In the late war with Spain, and proud
of our soldiers In the Philippines,
though we deplore the devastation Of
war with its trial of ruin, which can
only be compared to cyclone. We all
know about the destruction now going
on In South Africa, where the brave
Beers are making a fight for their
homes, greatly outnumbered as they
are. My sympathies are with them.
We hear a great deal about the
destruction OF life in the battles OF the
present day, but when we compare the
record with that Of the rebellion, we
are appalled,. In twelve battles of our
civil war. 10000 men were wounded.
and 1893 were killed. Gettysburg will
live ever after. as one Of the greatest
battles in history. Two hundred thou
sand men were engaged In this fight.
and $4,000 were killed in three days.
Oh, what a scourge war Isl Can we
appreciate the sacrifices endured by the
brave men who go to the front, and the
Gnaa Ao hx, he M
home?
Two years ago I stood on the site of
old Chickamauga. Again saw Bragg's
men, the boys in gray, coming up the
slope. and once more before me arose
the crash and din Of battle and the
smoke Of the CONFLICTS. The very
heavens seemed to fall, - they did
on that memorable day, back II ~

the condition will suggest another
thoroughfare to the west and the open

Of opening and extending this street was
gone over and there has never been q
question Of the availability or the ad-
visibility Of the street as the one to be

great expenditure will be necessary to

Senator Foraker has been d,

Senator Foraker has been decided
upon to present the name of President
Mckinley to the Philadelphia conven-
tion. Many Cantonians remember
when Senator Foraker came to Can
ton and talked that same matter over
with Mckinley, in 1896. 1t was thought
Necessary to appease Foraker somewhat
at that time, as he had been playing a
queer game and it was thought that he
was in league with Quay, Platt, ct al,
to bring confusion to the Canton can
didate. 1t was arranged, however, that
Foraker should make the speech and he
did SO, but 1t was the poorest speech
that ever presented winner to a ma
tional convention. Foraker seemingly
made no effort to make a good speech
and the matter was much commented
upon at the time. Now he has been
chosen again, but he has since jumped
in the Hanna bandwagon and this time
he will probably make a speech that Is
something like what he can do when
he is at himself.
Foraker has been very careful to as
sert that President Mckinley person.

The speaker closed his eloquent ad-

principles of the G.. A. r.: Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Cavnah's
address, a biographical sketch was read
by one of the comrades of the four
veterans who had died during the year
past, and the exercises were concluded
in due form by the members of New

There Is very likely to be difference
Of opinion at Kansas City as regards
the platform, bLe there will be no
difference as to the candidate. Some
conservatives want to re-affirm the
Chicago platform without specific
declaration as to it's component parts
while others want to re-affirm each
plank separately. Whatever is done will
be done in harmony. and with a view
to getting into office. Many reforms
have never been successful because Of a
