Kirke La Silelle expects to break
ground for his new Colonial theater, IN
New York city, soon after the holidays.
This theater would have peen m c sa nus

which. combined, make his theater plot
Finding that the price she had asked
and been given was less than that paid
another woman few doors away, she
refused to deliver the title, as per con-
tract, and La Shelie had to bring suit
to compel her to do so. This suit is about
to come to trial, and La Shelle Is so con-
fident of its outcome that he has made
contracts with builders Tor the erection
of his theater.
There are no less than twelve compa-

Those Republicans who think our pres

vised to meet changed conditions may
find something to think about in answer
ing the following query: Since the pros
perity of the United States depends so
largely on its export market for cereals,
why should we sell steel rails to Russia
to open UP her wheat-producing areas to
compete with our own, at a lower cost
than our own people can buy the same
rails? In other words we pay Russia
bonus to enlarge the sphere of her COM

A Return to the Soil.

When those fifty rich young English
men get fairly settled down to the work
of blowing for spring wheat on the Kan
sas lands owned by their fathers they
should begin to feel new and healthy
interest in life.
There IS nothing so well calculated to
reveal the beauty and worth of this old
globe to degenerate eyes as a return to
the soil and taking up of the earliest
form of labor known to man. THESE
young Englishmen. and many wealthy
Americans Of their class, need just sueh
an experience to make men of them
They have had too much civilization in
its luxurious phases. Honest toiL and
especially field work in the open, viii be

The wise English farmers who now
send their sons to learn farming in this
country are doing more than merely
making farmers of the lads. They are
ins,iring health and happiness and a
brighter viewpoint of life. The arriving

Public Opinion.



1t is estimated that during the first ses-

lasted from December, 1899, to June, 1900
there were 9,156,737 words spoken in the
senate and house 1t is further esti-
mated that during the session of the

WHIT 1T Costs.
The estimates for the navy for the next
fiscal year are about 100000 900, for the
army $161 ,000,0OO, and for pensions $780,
O00000. This makes SAIL, 100000 for mill
tary expenses. There is no prospect for
a return to the economical admnistra-
tons of other times We have become a
world power, and one of the penalties to
maintain our dignity is a great outlay of
the peoples money, collected by taxation,
as that is the only way a penny can
reach the national treasury. We may
call it tariff or internal revenue, but it
all means taxation.-Pittsburg Post.
A Monetary Crisis.
There is a monetary crisis in the Phil
ippines which nothing but an act of con-
gress will remove. 1t is only one of
many instances constantly occurring in
which the development Of American re-
Iations with the islands is halted and
hampered by the necessity for congress
sional legislation. And this, with the
varying views and conflicting interests to
be consulted, is always tardy and gener-
ally unsatisfactory. Unless history re-
verses itself, It will be found that the
greatest impeachment in the way of the
assimilation of the Philippines and other
dependencies Is the American congress -
