Prof. e. q. Cooley.

The Chicago Chronicle of June 5th,
says that Prof. E. G. Cooley has been
slated by Mayor Harrison to succeed
E. Benjamin Andrews as Superin-
tendent of the public schools of Chica-
go. Prof. Andrews held opinions up
on moral and political questions which
were obnoxious to those who were in
the enjoyment of the fruits of labor
performed by others. He would ex-
press his opinions, and they were Of
ten distasteful to the upper ten of the
Windy City. The school board of the
city elect the 9th of June, and it is
thought Prof. Cooley will be chosen.
Prof. Cooley entertains opinions as
we'll as did Prof. Andrews, and upon
occasion is as positive and as free in
his expression. The school board de-
sire politicol non-entity, an element
that finds no abiding place in the
composition of Prof Cooley. Silence
was not part of his nature upon pub
lie questions when in the public
schools of Cresco.

Champions tho Beers.

In his sermon at the People IS church,
McVicker's theater, Chicago, yetser-
day morning, the Rev. DR.. H. w.
Thomas spoke of the Beers struggle
and Of the Boer peace envoys now In
this country in the course Of his ser
mon. He said in parts "In our war of
the rebellion we sent Henry Ward
Beecher and Fred Douglass to cham-
pion our cause in England in the.name
OF liberty as against slavery. Now
brave and liberty-loving people send
their representatives to this country
and we should treat them as such.
Our government should receive them
and listen to them as messengers of a
people who are striving for liberty re-
gardless of what Joseph Chambelain
or Cecil Rhodes may think OF the
course. We should give them rousine
receptions while they are travelling in
this country in the name of liberty
and should make their presence here
memorable.

Destiny?

In listening to the lee ture of DIR.
Smith Friday evening we were strong
ly reminded of what a correspondent
of the New York World maps out for
the republican platform for 1900 on
the trust question. DR.. Smith is sound
on that platform already, which is as
follows:
l. There are no trusts.
|. 2. The regulation of trusts is pure
ly a question of state law.
3. Trusts are more injurious to
those who invest in them than to any
one else,
4. Trust combinations are legiti.
mate industrial development.
5. The republican party is unalter.
ably opposed to trusts.
This platform describes little more
clearly and succintly than the DR.. did
the republican attitude toward trusts,
but as the DR.. is marching in that di-
rection and the evolution of his nature
and his firm recognition of Destiny
would land him squarely upon it
should the party have the honesty t6
avow it as its policy on the question.

To Wash Outing Garments.

Flannel outing garments and under
wear require very careful washing to
keep them from shrinking; shrinking
is caused by the interlacing of the
wool fibers; hence it is desirable to
keep the material well stretched out
to prevent this. A washboaad should
not be used, nor should any soap be
ever rubbed on. 1t is best to use Gold
Dust Washing Powder; dissolve en-
ough in hot water to make a good suds
and wash quickly by repeatedly i'm
mersing in the suds, and drawing
through the hands. Flannels must be
washed in half warm water-not hot or
cold. Wiring, stretch into shape, and
hang to dry in place where there is
no wind or too hot sun.

fication of that island, we find our
selves today at war, while Spain herself
is at peace. We are not only at war,
but the end thereof is nowhere in sight.
The administration now in power has
put this government in position of
making it necessary to defend Its iona
fides IN the part it took is overthrowing
Spanish tyranny in the land Of Cuba.
When SO undertaken it was not only
understood by the people of this nation
but it was declared by Congress that
the United States had no disposition
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over the island, and while this
declaration was made with respect to
the island of Cuba our intentions were
equally manifested in the words of a
Republican United States Senator Of
high standing, in bis party, who said
that it is war in which there does not
enter the slightest thought or desire for
foreign conquest or of material gain or
advantage. No sooner had we entered
upon this military campaign than the
| desire for acquisition of property domi-
| mated the minds of the political party
| in power. 1t will be difficult there
| fore, 10 convince the nations OF the
world that this was not war of con-
| quest instead OF war on behalf of the
liberties of the oppressed people whose
offence today is what we are taught to
believe and which we do believe was
determined when the American colonies
undertook, to overthrow the domination
OF the mother country"
