THE PRESIDENTS ITINERARY.

Last Monday President Mckinley
started from Washington on an ex-
tended trip of $4,000 miles through
twenty-five states of the Union. He
is accompanied by several of his cabi-
net officers, some Washington officials,
a dozen private guests and twenty at
tendants. This recreation journey
over twenty-seven railroads is the
longest ever taken by an occupant of
the White House. or by any ruler in
ancient or modern times with the pos
sible exception of Alexander the Great.
Every citizen of the United States will
wish President Mckinley and his par
ty pleasant and safe journey. What
ever we may think of William McKin-
ley as an individual we cannot with
hold are respect from him as the ruler
of this august nation.
1t costs him nothing to travel, and
therefore he will enjoy his itinerary
with keen relish. The cost to private
party would amount to the presidents
annual salary. The railroad compa-
MES have furnished six palatial cars,
and eatables and drinkables galore
will be given gratuitously.
President Mckinley will be accorded
a hearty welcome along the route, and
speeches will be made by him at the
different stopping places. Newspaper
men are with him to report his utter
ances. He has already spoken ut sew
eral points in the South. In his speech
Mt Huntsville, Alabama, on Tuesday,
he said, among other things:
eve are not a military people. We
are not dedicated to arms. We love

We have never gone to war for con-

but always for liberty and humanity,

power in the affairs of the nation
whether in an official position or as a
plain American citizen. The Demo-
Gratis cannot attribute their defeat to
the fact that he was their candidate
in two successive national campaigns.
He stood on the best political platform
ever framed by the party, and advo-
Gated the principles therein enunciated
with marvellous ability. He preferred
right to expediency and was betrayed
by the worshippers of golden calf
and full dinner pail.

William T. Stead thinks there will
be a war over the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and the proposed isthmian ca
nal between this country and his own.
He has no cause for alarm. The Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty is thing Of the
past since it was violated by England,
as shown by James G. Blaine. When
this country is ready for commencing
canal operations it will go right on
without regard to England's protests.
England does not want any more wars
for century, after the experience
with the Beers.

Campbell writes: "There were quite

away from that fight, and some of our
men are awaiting trial in Pretoria"
Referring to the time when he might
return to Canada, the writer says: II

discharges among the Colonials for
some time. We Joined for three
months, if required six, but not to ex-

them. Kitchener is no man at all, He
thinks every man is dog at his feet.
He wants to know what we want orr
discharges for when there is fighting
to do. Three Canadians have got six
months hard labor already, so this is
the way he is treating volunteers"
Continuing, the writer exclaims.

be forgotten that this oath dates back
from the time when the fourth verse

pose of enjoying life. unless he can get

now very scarce. so that what we generally
have foisted upon us sprats.''
1t is the belief Of many that sardnes are
a live fish that fill the favored waters
around Cape la Hague in France, and that
no fish called sardine any more than
there is one called bloater. In both cases
the name is only applied subsequent to their
having been cured. and the name OF everyt
fresh sardine is pilchard.
Their permanent home Is In the Atlantic,
between Lands End and the coast OF
