This play, which is excellently
staged and presented by company
that has won the admiration and APP
plause of the discriminating public
portrays life in the cars domains
with wonderful vivdness. 1t is re-
markable fact that although the
average untraveled American is toler-
ably familiar with the national GUS
toms of nearly all the peoples of the
wOrld-a knowledge, which, 10y the
way, he has obtained by reading
novels and seeing plays whose scenes
are laid in foreign countries-his idea
of Russian life is confined to the des-
potism of the government, the sub.
lection of the people and the exagger-
ated strength Of the armament. There
fore such dramas as "For Her Sake"
have as genuine and distinct an edu-
cational value as the historical drama
or novel, especially when the picture
is as accurately and carefully drawn
as that OF this play. This fact, COM
bined with the simple beauty of the
story, the bright and clever dialogue,
and the magnificent and startling
scenic effects, should make, the COM
ing presentation ali altogether notable
event.

w. r. Hearst, of the San Francisco
Examiner, the New York Journal and
the Chicago American is one OF the
greatest of American expansionists.
In the Examiner OF April q, 1899, he
offers this advice: ave trust that
Mr.. Bryan will yet range himself in
line with the national aspirations for
expansion. The time has come, as it
comes at intervals to every vigorous
nationals it has come to ours on
severa! former occasions-when the
old boundaries are too contracted for
the pulsing life within them, and
when the health of the body polite
demands that room. The popular in
stinct understands the need for these
periodical expansions, and every gen.
uine statesman understands it, too.
The popular instinct OF nation cam
not be changed in sixteen months,
nor can creature of expediency be
converted into IA statesman by an APP
peal to the truths Of history" Amer
leans are as much in favor of expan-
sion today as they were when they
applauded the acquisition of the
Louisiana territory by that noted i'm
perialist, Thomas Jefferson.

Where Cash Is Not Wanted.

So accustomed are we to securing
cash whenever it can be obtained, that
we can hardly imagine it possible that
credit would be preferred to receiving
cash, yet such is the case with mer-
chants in Buenos Ayres.
The laws OF Argentine compel every
business man to render statements of
his accounts to proper officials and if
he is indebted more than he can pay,
his business is ut once supervised or
investigated. If he wilfully goes into
debt with the view OF wronging credi-
tors he receives punishment. The
business standing of any merchant
can at any time be ascertained, and
credit in Argentine is as safe as cash.
To make it palmer, the creditor is
so well protected that for manuiac-
turer to receive cash is really draw
back as he loses the discount. The
large German houses will always pre-
fer the credit customer to one paying
cash, us the profits are larger and it is
rare ior loss OF any kind to occur.
Business, as rule, is done on credit,
and the dealer not only expects to re-
ceive credit but is also willing to ex.
tend it to his customers, Credit is
given for from six months to a year,
but at the end Of the period the cash
is paid, sometimes with interest added.
To do business in that manner in
Argentina, the large houses must be
provided with ample capital, but as
there is as much capital in this coun-
try as in Germany there is no reason
why we should not meet the Germans
on common ground, especially as the
credit system gives much larger pro-
fits on capital.
Other Spanish-American states fol-
low the same custom, and yet failures
are rare, that of theI Earrings, several
years ago, being unexpected, and for
which the government and people
were not responsible. a this country
our courts are fiHed With lawsuits
arising from business transactions and
credit, With OUT boosted civilization
we do notseem TO have studied and
solved the problem of law, as wrong
frequently tri{mphs over right, and
the pardoning power liberates crimi-
nails on the community to further dis
organize society and render justice
uncertain-New West Trade.

The work of the Unitel States
Census Bureau in gathering popula-
ton statistics OF the great cities was
completed in July aud the Bureau
has allowed some of the figures to be
published. The official count of the
population of the leading cities is
given as follows: New York, includ-
ing all of greater, 5,437, 202; Chicago
1,69S,574; Philadelphia, l,233,69
St. Louis, 575,23S; Boston, 56o,S92;
Baltimore, 5Os,957. The increase of
city population is much greater rela-
lively than the increase in rural popu-
lation. This shows that there is n
steady and rapid flow of the rural
population into the cities. How Ions
this will keep up and what it will re-
suit in is question for the philosoph,
erto study.

Ii one citizen may properly with
hold his vote, logically all may and
the wheels OF government be stopped.
To decline voting because practically
assured that others will vote is but to
give the latter an undue share OF po-
litical power and to forfeit the right
to complain of any abuse OF it. The
obligations OF citizenship are avoided,
not performed, by standing neutral in
an election. The voting power is a
trust which calls for use and is violat-
ed by the neglect to use.

The people the world needs are
those that follow straight path and
do not pause to look around to see
who is listening and to note the effect
Of his words or works. We want peo-
pie that serve the truth, that serve
humanity, without watching for effect
and praise. The triumphs OF life are
won by what it refuses to accept. Our
characters are formed by our power to
say no to the small indulgence OF life.
1t is living on n higher order to live
for Others. The latest expression of
evolution is altruism; but ii we allow
it to swing us so far, that it crucifies
conscience for the sake of another,
that we disregard our own judgment
in the interest OF friend, then it is
necessary to restore the proper
vuilibrim with an egotism that under
such circumstances become divine,
and say, 81 must reserve the sanctity
OF my own judgment, live up to my
own highest standards and bless my
friends by seeming unfriendly.
