Citizens or Subjects.

Ex-PreSident Harrison, in recent
address before the students of Ann
Arbor, said many things which the
people should carefully consider be-
fore they give their assent to the ad-
ministration's policy of Imperialism.
Here are a few extracts from his
speech.
"The man who must depend entire
ly upon the benovolence of another is
a slave. A government of unlimited
and absolute executive power is not
an American government.
"Did you ever read one of the treat
les made by the United States with
an old-world power? On one side
they speak of the subjects of her ma
jesty" and on the other of 1.-THE citiz-
ems of the United Sta tes.,A Now If
these provisions. guaranteed to the
citizens of the United States do not
apply toscitizens of the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, it is time for US to amend these
treaties by adding "and subjects" at
ter the words "citizens of the United
States"
God forbid that the day should ever
come when the thought of man as a
consumer should absorb that grand
old doctrine that man is creation of
God endowed with inalienable rights.

NEW BRIDGE SHOWS STRENGTH
Satisfactory Military Tests of the
Pont Alexandra Structure
in Paris.

"Solid as the Pont Neuf" used to be a
favorite Partisan smile. Now this his
toric bridge threatens no longer to
justify the formula, for some of its
arches are in need of being strength
ened, and the popular phrase will prob
ably give way to this: "Solid as the
Pont Alexandra"
This new bridge, whose construction
was begun by Emperor Nicholas at the
same time as the seal was set upon the
Franco-Russian alliance-which it will
possibly survive-has just undergone
final test. for which it had been pre-
pared by the passage of several mil
lion visitors during the exposition. Lo-
connective engines and stone-laden
trucks have been sent across it, not to
speak of heavy field guns, for the mate
rial of war, as everybody knows, is the
indispensable complement of every
work of peace.
The bridge stood the test admirably,
to the great JOY Of its architect.

Armours buy Salt Abroad.

Kansas City, Mo. Jan. "A large
shipment of salt from Lisbon, Portu-
gal, for the Armour Packing company
has just begun to arrive in Kansas
City. ThirtY-fve cars have reached
here and twenty-five cars are on the
way. Each car is loaded with from
thirty-fve to forty tons Of the salt, all
in bulk.
The purchase abroad of this enor-
nous quantity of salt by the Armour
company was provoked by the high
prices demanded by the salt trust in
this country. Salt might have been
bought from. Hutchinson (Kas. COM
panies. The Armour company uses
about fifteen carloads week. James
Terrell, purchasing agent for the COM
pany, today said:
"PriceS are now Sc ton, figure SO
high that we we're forced to do some
thing desperate to escape the payment
of it. Instead of buying salt at a
point 210 miles from Kansas City we
have sent more than 5000 miles to an
other country for it, and after paying
steamer and freight rates and Gus
tom duty of cents a hundred, we are
still able to save money. This shows
what an outrageous profit the salt
trust makes in this country"

STARR TO STUDY INDIANS.
Chicago Anthropologist Has Left to
Investigate Mexican
Tribe.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, has left for six
months trip among some of the wild
and unknown tribes of Mexico. The
Lacandones. one of the tribes he ex-
poets to visit, are one of the least
known peoples in the western hemis-
phere. They lead wandering lives
and use crude stone implements and
are as timid as rabbits, leaving their
homes at the approach of strangers.
A village is to be studied where in
1869 all the whites and half-breeds
were killed and old pagan religion re-
established. The people crucifed a
boy in order that they might have an
Indian Christ, A priestess led the
outbreak,
While in the state of Chiapas pinto,
a peculiar and little understood skin
disease, will be investigated. The
skin becomes covered with perma-
nent red, white or purple spots.
Pinto is but slightly contagious and is
not painful. Nearly 90 per cent. Of
some OF the towns are affected.
Prof. Starr will have the aid Of
three assistants, photographer, plas-
ter-worker and a guide. Much of the
travelling will be through dense trop-
ical forests and 800 miles of horse
back riding will be necessary. Ono
hundred and twenty-five women Of
each tribe are to be measured and
five plaster busts made. The present
is Prof. Starts twelfth trip to Mex
leo and the last. as he expects to
complete his studies of the south
Mexican Indian.

HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
Decision of Court Strangely Affects
James Hartwell, of Al
bfOn. HI

Through peculiar holding Of the
courts James Hartwell, of Albion, Ill,
has been declared his own grandfather.
The discussion that brought out this
peculiar relation arose over the DISPOSE
ton of $175. In 1897 there lived at AL
bion, ILL.,, widow named Swan and q
young man named james Hartwell.
The widow was 40 and the man 81, but
they fell in love and were married..
Last year he died, leaving a clause in his
will bequeathing $175 to my grand
father, James Hartwell, and in event
of his death it shall revert to my wife"
The wife succeeded after legal advice
in cutting out the living grandfather
on the following Interpretation: James
Hartwell, her husband, was dead, and
James Hartwell, his grandfather, was
living, but James Hartweu was his own
grandfather, so the money reverted to
her. James Hartwell, her husband, was
his fathers father-in-law, because his
father married her daughter. Her hus-
bands fathers father-in-lnw is her
maternal grandfather, therefore her
husband is his own fathers father-in-
law and is the same as his grandfather,
and, being dead, entitled to the amount
of the bequest.

Exports and Home Markets,

The president in his late message to
congress says the exports Of agricul-
tural products have increased over
$50, 900, 900 in the last year. To farm
er this doesn't look much like the
profitable home market that was
promised him for his share of the
benefit to come from the Mckinley
protective policy. That home market
has been promised the farmer for the
last thirty years by protectionists.
After all these years OF being subject
ed to tariff taxes, 1t really makes the
farmer feel that he has been "gold
bricked" to have proteetiopist boast
of the increased exports of farm pro-
ducts. Mark Hanna in his subsidy
bill speech said that one-third of the
agricultural products OF this country
had to 60 abroad to find market, and
to get it there the American people
pay 100000 year bonus to the ship
owners, and the farmer pays the freight
besides. This seems to me like heap
ing injury on insult. / am a farmer
and the son of a farmer and / have
done nothing all my life but till the
soil. Now l cannot see 1T any other
way than that we've been "buncoed. /"

LOADS OF PENNIES.
Ing of Coppers Collected for
Galveston Sufferers.

In the collection taken up in the
Queensborough schools, New York, for
the Galveston sufferers 26,750 pennies
were turned in, and the school board
was sorely perplexed. The officials did
not realize how much trouble they had
on their hands until they sought to de-
post the money. The pennies We're
first offered to the Flushing savings
bank. The cashier would take all the
bills and coins of larger denomina-
ton, but declined the pennies.
Then therQueens county bank was
visited and Manhattan was invaded by
representative OF the board, who went
to bank after bank and tried to get rid
of his pennies. But they would not be
received, and the school people became
disheartened.
The pennies meantime were dumped
in big packing box in the cellar of the
board of education building, in Main
street, Flushing. They weighed sew
eral hundred pounds, and as six men
were required to lift them burglars
were not fearea.
The school board advertised that II
had lots of pennies for exchange and
would turn them over for quarters and
dollars to any person wanting them.
This brought big department store to
the rescue and it took them.

HUGE wH1rEF1sH HATCHERY.
Fisheri.s ON Detroit River and Put

troit river caught about 10000 white
fish, which yielded over zoo, 900, 900 eggs.
theseeggs have been placed in the hatch
cries in Detroit and at Put-in-Bay is

they will yield about IS per cent. in
the spring.
In the nets with the wkiseffsh liaars hugs

Nine land-locked salmon have been
received from Lake ST. John and added
to the collection. These fish have al
ready had quite trip in tanks. as Lake
St. John is about 200 miles north Of
Quebec, in Canada, but seem tol belno
worse for the trip.
The land-locked salmon no doubt
came originally from the Atlantic
ocean, as they are only found in the
fresh waters of Canada and northern
Maine, and they still bear some of the
characteristics of the salt water
salmon
