Mckinley omitted the mention Of
trusts in his speech Of acceptance.
Now the republicans are saying look

to !. This criticism Is melancholy
madness. A great man can not tell

AUNT N LETTER.

A letter filled with poetic thought
is the n written us this week by
Alvin Horton. His is a county
capable of inspiring such thought
and he is to her a true son.
Backwoodsman seems to appre-
ciate his minutes. This is the secret
of a successful life. Improve the
minutes and you will find that each
day leaves you in possession of some
bit of information, that time would
have otherwise deprived you of.
All /! how I wish it we're possible for
me to attend each commencement
wherein our circle has a representa-
tive. What a pleasure it would
afford your old Auntie to witness the
triumphs of her girls and boys as
teachers and pupils crowned with
laurels of we'll earned success. But
this is denied me and therefore 1
trust that after the excitement Incl
dent to such occasions you will re-
member me and write nice interest
ing letters for our Chat. hope for
more letters next week.

BACKWOODsMAN WRITES.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE AS you have
threatened to call the roll again I
will answer before being called upon.
[ have been reading and studying a
good deal in the last few weeks and
mainly along the lines of the selec-
lions from Edward Bok's book in
The Progressive Farmer Of April 3.
I feel certain that Mr. Box has been
very closely associated with young
people Judging by the way he writes.
His advice is SO good.
Every young man in u land
should read his book and profit
thereby, most especially his words
in regard to the attitude of young
men toward women in general. No
young man of good sense can fail to
see wherein he is right. I have
been denied the blessed privilege of
having either mother or sisters since
I can ~reccollect. [ envy every young
man his position who has such, for
by their treatment many a young
man who would otherwise never be
anything in this world turns out to
be a very respectable citizen.
I think our Chat becomes more in
teresting with every issue. I do not
write often but I enjoy the letters of
the others very much. Mrs. J. L.
D. in her letter in last weeks issue is
right along that line. I am glad to
note that even in I'll public schools
we are beginning to learn the rudi-
ments of law, If every MAINLAND
young woman, too-would spend a
few minutes eve each day in some
good book or paper, something of
interest, how much Improvement
might be made even in one year.
In answer to Loretta's question in
regard to celebrating the birth of
Christ I would say, and say most
emphatically, No, indeed. How long
in this Christian country will people
celebrate Christ's birth by disobey-
ing his commands? IF every one
had e as much of the bad effects
of drinking rs I have seen I think all
would have become disguised with
it long ago. AS I have written more
than I intended when I began, I will
close with love to Aunt Jennie and
all our noble band.

official position in the family. One
of the questions to be asked is, "WhO

sus taker comes round.
The full christian name and mid
die initial of each member of the fam
lily is to be given, the head Of the
family standing first, and the Others
being designated as ''wife" Cor hus-
band), "brother, ".'daughter, " "step-
aunt" etc.

Clear and straightforward.

Upon all phases of all the questions
involvedin the issue of imperialism the
democratic platform is clear, straight
forward, admirable. There is no eva
sion, no juggling. After reading these
vigorous yet moderate and sane utter
ances no one can have the slightest
doubt either as to the principles laid
down or as to how the democratic
party interprets those principles into
policies. The evils are defined and
the remedies of justice. liberty and
American fair-dealing are proposed
explicitly and fearlessly. Upon the
other great issue, monopoly, the plat
form is again clear, straightforward,
admirable. Instead of incoherent raw
ings and indefinite promises, there is
sanity of statement, avoidance of con-
fusion between corrupt and legiti-
mate uses of capital and demand for
real reforms--for publicity, for the
constitutional extension of law, and
above all for the ending of monopoly
fostering tariffs. Cincinnati En-

tisan purposes, and he is now occu-
pied in preparing the campaign hand
book. Such a function is as remote
from those proper to the collection
of commercial statistics as they
would be from the conduct of a
church, and the knowledge that this
hack is engaged in the task is suffi-
cient to bring into discredit his activity
in statistics of trade as issued by the
treasury. Since Mr.. Austin has been
in office he has not added a single fea-
ture to the tables as formerly issued,
save that of throwing discredit on the
whole by his evident intention TO
make himself useful to his party.
The worst feature Of 1t is that the
tables are discredited abroad as we'll
as at home, and it is not strange that
so little regard is paid by statisticians
of Europe to the work now done I'M
der our government.-N. Y. Post.

gave a curious explanation of the
puzzle the students were resolving in
their minds. What the sailor said
was about as follows:
ALAS and alack, am grieved to see
that the tropical custom of the So
called spider web suicides among
small birds of the South sea islands is
spreading to the feathery tribes of the
northern ATTITUDES. That you, my
youthful friends, may understand my
meaning, it is only necessary to say
that the aborigines of many tropical
countries have a pretty fable telling
how the male humming bird commits
suicide by entangling its toes in an
overhanging cobweb of the spider-in-
tested woods, whenever the female for
which an attachment has been
formed is mysteriously missing from
it's haunts or has died or been trapped

A Historic Cable.

According to the Telegrapher, the
cable of the Western Union which runs
under Lake Champlain from Ticon-
deroga to Larrabee's Point has some
thing of history. 1t was made in
Europe and first connected opposite
shores of the Red sea. Later it was
brought to this country and connected
Tybee Island, near Beaufort, S. c., with
Hilton Head. At the end of the civil
war it was taken to New York city and
remained in the company's storehouse
until it was placed under Lake Cham
plain.

SCANDAL UPON SCANDAL.
Another Instance OF Republican
ROttenness In Public
once,

1t is well known that the pr .sent
head of the treasury bureau o: sta
tistics is preparing the campaign
textbook of the republican party.
Such a scandalous Disregard of the
proper duties and dignity of that bu-
reau has never before been shown.
There have been charges made of par
tisan use in the past, but these
charges have never been proved to
such an extent as to affect the cor
rectness of the returns issued by the
bureau. There have been issued, I'M
der official sanction, interpretations
of commercial and industrial returns,
favoring a particular policy or meas
ure, and when Charles Foster
was secretary of the treasury the
head of the bureau permitted vio-
lently protectionist interview to be
circulated as a treasury document
although it was well known at the
time that the matter had been pre-
pared by another hand. Such exhi-
billions of improper political activity
by the bureau have been rare, how
ever, and have never failed to bring
down criticism on those who were re-
sponsible.
Secretary Gage must bear the full
responsibility of causing the present
scandal. He removed a man of expe-
rience to make room for a political
hack, whose only qualification was his
service during the campaign in run
ming literary bureau" for the re-
publicans. From the beginning this
partisan has used the bureau for par
