ment of England is imperial, because,
while arrogating to themselves the right
to do what they please, the English peo-
pie control the Industrial and political
existence of hundreds of millions of peo-
pie, and settle these In such manner as
they see fit. The government of the Gar
is imperialstic because, while arrogating
to himself the right to do as he pleases,
the Gar dictates the political and indus
trial development of scores of millions of
people. But In each instance there is a
denial of the democratic theory of gov
eminent, that the people of country
have right to regulate their own affairs.
The policy upon which we are now
entering In the control which we have
established over Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands is therefore imperial
istic, and, hence, the decision of the SUI.
preme court in approving this transforms
our Republic from democracy into an
empire. In what we are saying we are
neither censuring nor commencing the
change; we are simply stating fact,
which it seems to US the American peo-
pie should clearly understand. We are
prepared to go further and say that, I'M
less we propose to retire, certainly from
the Philippine Islands, and possibly from
Porto Rico, the imperiaistc form of
government is the only one which we
can adopt with credit to ourselves and
benefit to the inhabitants of these de-
Tendencies. TO attempt to assimilate
them by the extension over them of our
political institutions would be foolish in
the extreme, as the result could not be
other than ridiculous failure. But i'm
perialism and democracy are antagon-
istic principles, and that the substitution
of one for the other will in time work
profound changes in our national life is
as certain as any future event possibly
can be.

ELLEN OR THE WHlsPERNos OF AN

Guided by some kind angel or spirit

the unwearied zeal of the mortal, hepler
returned to his former computations, and
with heaving breast and thro0blng
heart he detects the numerical error IN
his work and commences anew. The
square of Juplter's period is TO the
square of Saturn's period as the cube or
.Jupiter's distance is TO some fourtn term,
which Kepler hoped and prayed might
be the cube of Saturn's distance. with
trembling hands he sweeps through the
maze of figures; the fourth term Is Cd.

Saturn's distance. They are the same

tried the proportion-the square or Jupl-
ter's period TO the square or Mars
period as the cube of Jupiter's distance
to fourth term, which he found to De
the cube of the distance OF Mars-till
finally full conviction burst upon MS
mind. He had won the goal; the strug-
gle of seventeen long years was ended
and In the excitement of his triumph he
exclaimed: 1.-THE book is written to be
read now or by posterity-I care not
which. "-Kepler's Discovery of the Third
Law, by o. NJ. Mitchell.
With feelings somewhat similar to the
above, we this week forwarded to Lon

the first volumes of the philosophical
an allegorical novel, ELLEN or The Wits

more than four years has demanded Of
us every moment of thought and study
that our physical strength was able tc

book has been written, to be read either

Characteristics of Harrison.
March Goth, 1901.

Benjamin Harrison had opinions
about things. He expressed them free
ly Rarely would he discuss men, their
records, characteristics or their mot
ives The only exception to this rule
was when duty compelled him to learn
the fitness of candidate for office.
From his six years in the Senate and
four years in the White House there
is preserved not one recollection of a
harsh or bitter remark of personal
character. 1t might be added that
complimentary mention of an individ-
ual was almost as unusual with him.
1t was simply trait with him not to
talk about men. There were times,
crises, in eBnjamin Harrison's career
when sharp rivalries or antagonistic
relationships might have given provo
cation for an expression of personal
resentment. Whatever Gen. Harrison
thought of other men he did not say.
The disinclination to talk about per-
son amounted to almost positive prohi
bition. 1t was more marked in Gen.
Harrison than in any other public man
OF the generation. On one occasion,
when at public gathering the speech
es took eulogistic character of some
man. Gen. Harrison, who had not yet
spoken, was seen slipping out of the
door. A friend followed and said, eve
want you to say something" 81 can't"
was the reply, and he didn't. Yet Gen.
Harrison drew line sharply and dis
tinctly between the public acts and the
personal character of a man. The for
mer he considered legitimate subjects
of discussion and criticism. This was
illustrated in the speech he made to the
Senate upon the veto messages of the
then President Cleveland That speech
is still remembered as one of the most,
if not the most. notable OF the Con
gress. 1t was far-reaching in its con !.
sequences. 1t was unsparing. But it
contained not one word rejecting per-
sonnally upon the President.

ANNOYING pREDIcAMEHI
From Which a College Student ErirIcsisd
Himself With Dried Beef.

A good story is being circulated al
the expense of young College boy
who utilizes his spare moments In fill-
ing the position of clerk in down
/ town store.
The young man made the acquaint-
ance of a charming young lady, whose
sister by the way, is cashier in the
store where he spends the aforesaid
spare time and exercises his surplus
muscle in attending to the soda foun-
tain.
Now the young college student gained
the opportunity of escorting his inamo-
rata to her paternal roof Tuesday
night and naturally improved his op-
portunities. Nothing embarrassing oc
Cured until the young people were
seated in the parlor under the paternal
roof tree when suddenly and without
the least warning the light went out.
The student had never before had an
experience of the kind and so did not
know what to do except to blush a
bright rosy red. Finally when his en-
barrassment was relieved by the re-
kindling of the lamp, the family canine
came in the parlor on a tour of inyes-
tigation. Probably even the dog him
self don't know exactly what it was in
the young suitor's attire or manner
that aroused his canine wrath; how
ever, the dog relieved himself of a num-
ber of blood-curdling growls and start.
ed to take up claim on the young
mans trousers. The latter hurriedly
searched through his pockets and at
last found quantity of dried beef
which he persuaded the dog had bet
ter flavor than the human equivalent.
The dog was pacified in this manner
until the young man got safely out of
the house and through the gate when
he started on swift gallop toward
home.
Without q doubt the young lady is
enchanting but if her admirers visits |
to her home are frequent his dried beef |
bill will be revelation for the dog
has an astonishing appetite.

Fallen.
Down lifes rugged road she's travel

Down life's rugged road she's travel
ing,
Stumbling aimlessly along;
Steps uncertain, weary struggling,
| Hastened on amid the throng
She has gained level pathway;
Once again the road that's right,
,, And she strives both hard and earnest,
To maintain it with all her might.
Now life's road seems easy walking;
Carelessly she hastens on.
Little dreaming of rocks and pitfalls
Waiting for her far beyond.
All! she has slipped, she is falling
On sinful moss-grown rock.
Down she goes all fear and trembling,
While the others laugh and mock
Now is the time when best to aid her,
Giving her helping hand;
Saving her from depths far greater,
Guiding her to an heavenly land
Stop moment and assist her,
Do not leave her and hurry on,
Others, too, may pass and shun her,
Remember, she is weak and you are
strong.
She has tried so hard to travel
In the narrow path of right;
But temptations overcame her,
And wicked sin bedimmed her sight.
She has fallen on the roadway;
Help her once again pray,
1t may not be too late to save her,
Start her in an honest way.
She may reach the golden heavens,
After many sad and weary mile,
There may be the brightest sunshine,
Some one there to greet her with a
smile.
