The plan to erect Mckinley mem orial in Canton is one in which the entire country will gladly acquiesce. Lincoln has a costly monument at Springfield, Ill, and the Garfield mau- soleum at Cleveland is pretentious. Canton has been intimately associated with the late presidents career from early manhood and it is fitting that his chief monument in stone should be there. Congress will undoubtedly ap- propriate a large amount toward such a memorial, and a popular subscription will bring forth many thousands of dol lars from MT. McKinley's friends and admirers. The Mckinley Memorial association now In process of formation in Canton under the leadership of ex- Secretary of State William R. Day. will be a convenient agency for the col lection and expenditure of funds and as soon as its call for contributions is issued the subscriptions should roll in with such promptness as to demon strate in a practical manner the na- tion's grief at th6 loss of it's chief magistrate and its admiration of his many attractive qualities.

feeling them his. A book borrowed. source, is always a burden. You must think about returning it under penalty of money or remo.se. But book bought is a liberation of the soul from al! scrdid anxieties concerning it, and an enlargement of mind such as a boz rowed book can never be. If you bor row books you are in danger of bor- rowing more than you can read. but you are never in danger of buying more books than you can read. unless you buy them for show, in which case you cannot really own them; for there is a peculiarity in the ownership of books, that the purchase is not com pleted till you have read them Then, when you have them in your heart and your head you may put them on your shelf, secure that whatever misfortune befalls you your property in them can not be wholly alienated-'
 The London Literary World is not wholly in sympathy with MT. Howells in this matter. It says;

It is noted by the Mining and Scientifis Press that a curious phenom- enon in connection with the distribu- tion of placer gold has been noticed in Alaska. To some of the lakes in the interior the streams come down with torrential grades. When the warm weather of spring comes. the snow on the mountain slopeg begins to melt and the streams to flow before the heavy ice in the lakes breaks up. The water of the streams thus for a greater or less period flows out from the shore on top of the ice and carries with it gold bearing gravels, which, till the ice melts, remains on top of it. Prospect CTS banning these grayels have found light gold. which indicated the exist ence of possible p.acers in these stream gravels. When the shore ice breaks up and floats away the gravel is trans ported with it till the melting of the ice causes it to sink through the lake waters, to become part of what, when the lakes have disappeared, are called by geoiogists lake beds" Fine gold so distributed is net at al. concentrated and there can be no bedrock deposits underneath these lake beds. The lat ter are not known to have been found sufficiently rich in geld to be pay" for placer mining.

A ACKNOWLEDGMENT PRESIDENT

A Knickerbocker president is some- thing new to present generations of Americans. Van Buren was Roose- velt's enc predecessor from the Duteh stock. When that venerable but little venerated public functionary," James Buchanan, was whirled into oblivion by the cyclone of civil war the presi- dency was carried off to the west ali only the terrible break in the case of Andrew Jackson, it had been, assigned as by prescriptive right. Of the serie, of western presidents succeeding Lin coin. only Harrison had a grand father" The two New Yor,. presidents who had broken into the western line. though of most respectable lineage, could neither of them be said to have been born in the purple" like Theo- dore Roosevelt. Like Jackson and Johnson, Arthur was of Irish ancestry. and Cleveland of New England stock. The great Virginian line were all of English stock. The new thing for mod- ern days in Roosevelt's succession. Is that once again the Dutch stock is in the presidents chair. It speaks volumes for the homogeneity of the nation. after of the German. French, Italian. Spar ish or other continental race except the Dutch-neither Scandinavian Slsv nor Hebrew-has been president.-Bo5- ton Transcript.

but as an act of justice. Killing pris- oners is against the rules of war, and. for this reason, not for revenge, the officer wiz be made to suffer capital punishment. The war is over and there is now no occasion for reprisals. While the execution of the four insur- gents might have been justified in time of strife, it is different now and the United States officers only wish to maintain order ard administer justice.

 political enemies a short time ago. that he was using his position to further his personal ends in a financial! way. No man before the public ever lived q more blameless or truly manly life than did he.

It may be well to notics som

It may be well to notice some in teresting facts concerning sugar that
 are being circulated in SOME CANE trade channels. One of AND BEET them is that two-thirds FACTS. of the sugar raised in
 the world is made from beets and one-third from cane. This was news a year or so ago and gained currency because true. But the world has moved during the past twelve months; so has the sugar industry
 The war is over in Cuba, and to cele- brate the return of peace the Pearl of the Antilles nearly doubled her crop of cane sugar during the 1900-01 season, the last crop raised being 600,000 tons, against 30S,54 during 1899-1900 Note too, that the 19O1-O2 crop is estimated at 800, 600 tons. During her palmy days the island ground 1,00c,000 tons and there can be little doubt that she will not only produce this amount. under favorable conditions. but will far ex- ceed it, especially with the application of modern methods and machinery.
 Porto Rico, also, has fet the revival. In 1S99-19OO she produced 35,000 tons, while the 19OO-O1 crop is SooO0 tons.
 The increase in the cane crop in Louisiana is even more important. the crop Jumping from 132,000 tons in 1ss9- 1900 to ,0OO in 19OO-O1.
 There has been a gain too. in the Hawaiian production, and so on all along the line of cane producing coun- tries, the result being that the worlds output now stands: 3,425. GOO tons of cane and 6.O96,000 tons of beet, total of 9,521, GOO tons. There has also been an increase in the amount of beet sugar raised, but the gain in cane has been relatively larger than in beet. This is especially notable because of the heretofore rapid and aggressive growth of the beet industry; and of special significance to the United States, because most of the American sugar is made from cane, only 76,S59 6uced in the United States during 1900- 01; the crop year may be said to end September 30.
 The annual consumption of sugar in the United States is about two million tons, and preference is given to cane United States will be able to draw all of her supply and also suit the taste of the people from American sources-the continent and isianos-In the very near future.

Some attention has been given tQ defense of the anti-canteen legislation

Some attention has been given tQ defense of the anti-canteen legislation
 made by General A. -. THE Daggett, retired. in two ARMY letters which he has re- CANTEEN. gently published in the
 Army and Navy Jour nal. He objects to the canteen or the ground that it's presence in the post ac- customs all the soldiers to the idea that alcoholic drinks are approved by their superiors He would replace them with reading rooms, gymnasiuns and the like, so as to provide facilities for indulgence in social proclivities. As for the men who must have beer and liquor and go to the saloons when they have no canteens, he would not take them into the army. This is n.eraiv to- adv J1ete compulsory total abstinence in the army, a measure which few military authorities would care to see enforced. The reading rooms and similar attractions are in themselves admirable and would no doubt remove temptati1n from many soldiers that go to bar rooms to lounge as much 2S to drlnE., put unless urlHh- ing is absolutely forbidden. the idea that seems to lie at the root of General Daggetts suggestion, there is h. req sen for supposing that such suFstitutes for saloons would be much more ef- fectiye as counter attractie2s than they are in this city, where tZe experiment has frequently been tired with results that have led some oe our philanthropy ists to advocate tae maintenance by well-intentioned persons of soberly conducted saloons for dispensing beer and light wiles. General Daggett's rather visionary plan hardly meets such facts as those recently laid before the American Public Health associa- tion in Buffalo. where 1t was shown that comparing the pre-canteen period of 1SS5-91, with the six years following, .alchoholism treated in the army hospi- tals fell off 23.6 per cent in the average annual number of admissions when the canteens were open, deHrium tremens and insanity fell off 31.3 and 31.7 per cent respectively, and convictions for drunkenness were reduced one-half.

The quickest relief, for a cold, is by Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil.
 We all have colds, you can trv it and see. You will find the edge taken off in a night; i; and, in three or four days, you'll be wondering whether that cold amounted to any thing anyhow.
 That's relief. If you tackle it quick, the relief is quick and complete, if you wait till the cold is in full possession of head and lung, why, of course, the relief is quick if it comes in q week. |.

 To any one of his vulgar tribe. Then you. the reporters. hungry for news.
 And nibbling at nothings for printed prate, You've dosed us to death with his
 nauseous name,
 And how he looks and whence he

 Till the simple reader thinks him l great. And we who have read are guilty be-

 To be curious hold we sacred right.
 As we smother a fainting man in

 Or run to evil with hurrying feet i Making a crowd where the felons may
 hide,
 And baking justice to gratify sight. 1 The quack who has striven the law to | impede.
 The garrulous parson to decency
 blind,
 Every fool who has asked for his
 autograph,
 Or greeted his jests with a brutal
 laugh. Is an accessory after the deed
 And before the next we shali have
 of it's kind. When a few more years bring another
 such blow.
 And the head of the nation lies in

 While doorposts are darkened and
