Is It Imperialism.

The Westminster Gazette OF
London, England, expresses
great elation over the late decis-
ion of the q. S. supreme court, in
the Porto Rican matter The
Gazette says:
THE relation of America to Europe
and the world is profoundly modified
by the new departure. Colonies mean
navy, navy means naval bases and
coaling stations, and naval bases are
insecure unless they are backed up by
the possessions of hinterland.
This is the logic of imperialism and
it may lead the Americans as far as it
has led us.
5 Moreover, by stepping outside their
continent the Americans undoubtedly
weaken the force of the Monroe doc
tTine."
AS the republican cuckoo press
and the administration which it
echoes are expressing even great
er pleasure than the Englishmen
over the decision, it gives war
rant for the suspicion that the
powers at the head of the U. S.
government today are anxious
to be led into Imperialism, even
as far as the grasping, bull-doZ-
ing, robbing policy of England
has been led.
The trial of Mrs. Lulu Kennedy
for the murder of her husband is
now on at Kansas City. Judge
Wofford, in addressing the ven
iremen said: "Now, gentlemen,
before the attorneys proceed, l
want to say that what we want
in this case is a sensible, level
headed Jury. We want men who
Fcan think for themselves and
form their own opinions. This
objection to jurors because they
may have read newspaper ac-
counts of an affair is not well
founded. Every intelligent man
reads the newspapers. but it does
not follow that he has formed
an opinion from what he has
read. [ don't want the lawyers
in this case to go to extremes in
this matter. Ii a man has not
formed an opinion he is an eligi-
BILE Juror, even il he has read the
newspaper accounts" That is a
Judge made of the right stuff.

PRESS OPINIONS.
What Some Leading Eastern Newspapers
Think of The Porto Rican Decision.

Div me, said the very little
girl who was sent to the grocery,
''some Of dis, some of dat and a
few of dose" In it's Porto Rico
decisions the Supreme Court has
supplied them all-"dis, dat and
dose.''
"The constitution does not for
bid us to have colonies and sub
jects. But neither does the con-
stitution forbid us to be sensible
and just and. keep out OF such
miserable, expensive, quarrel
some, profitless business.
"But the real practical effect of
Mondays decisions promises to
be the effect which the majority
of the court doubtless intended
to make the whole question of
colonies and of the administra-
tion of colonies purely political.
The Supreme Court has in effect
said to the people: If you wish
to sell. transfer or trade your
new possessions, if you wish to
acquire more possessions any
where Or everywhere, the consti-
tuition does not forbid. If you
wish to govern your subjects as
aliens, giving them almost no pol
itical rights, the constitution does
not forbid. If you wish to incor-
porate some or all OF your colon
les into the Union either as terri
tories fully under the constitu-
ton Or as sovereign states, the
constitution does not forbid.
The constitution does not forbid
your Congress to do practically
as it pleases in this matter OF ex-
pansion. Upon it and upon you
falls the whole responsibility for
the wisdom and Justice the
reverse-of whatever is done. y

Meantime the question OF the
nation holding peoples as sub
iectS outside the constitution,
after the manner of European
absolutism, remains right where

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Horse Thieves Attempt to Enter Barn
owned by Mrs. Adolph Gu1chard.

A bold attempt at horse stealing was
made early Sunday morning at the
barn owned by Mrs. Ado1ph Guichard
on Prairie avenue. Shortly before
3 O'Clock in the morning man was
discovered prowling around the barn
and Mrs. Guichard called in the assist
ance of neighbors and managed to
brighten the fellow away. From the
implements which he left behind it is
thought he is desperate criminal. A
belt containing long dirk knife and
several cartridges was found near the
the barn door. About the barn win
dows were found many burned matches
and all the doors had been tempered
with.
An effort was made to capture the
man but. proved Intellectual. The case
has been reported to the police, who
are making an effort to locate the
guilty party.

ETC., the capacity of our large fast
ships is from $500 to $500 tons. The
sum to be paid for fast ships is limited
to S2,O0O,OOO This is in answer to
those who object to the aid for grey
hounds. Another objection is that a
subsidy is not needed, because we can
now build ships in this country more
cheaply than they can be built abroad
The answer to this is that, while our
steel is cheaper, our labor is higher
Still another objection is that existing
ships and ship-owners would absorb
the SO 100000, leaving nothing with
which to stimulate the building of new
ships.
Of the subsidy, 70 per cent. is to go
to the Atlantic maritime trade, and 30
per cent. to the Pacific trade. When
there are enough vessels to absorb the
sum limited, the 100000 are to be
distributed pro rata. = Harper's

SOCIAL SEASON CLOSES.
End of a Gay Season Comes Amidst a Blaze
of Glory Monday Evening.

The social season in Kenosha is
practically closed, for with the excep-
ton of a few private parties arranged
for this evening, society is ready to
enter the long Lenten season and get
ready for a more busy season after the
days of penance are over.
The season has been a very gay one
and many social events of more than
usual interest have occurred and the
finishing touches were put on Monday
evening amid a b1ase of glory. The
music of dancing feet was heard IN all
parts of the city and not few parties
spent the evening to an accompani-
ment of jing1ing bells.
The most noteworthy event of the
closing evening of the season was the
party given by the Kenosha Chapter
of the Royal League at Simmons Hall.
This was one of the prettiest parties
ever given in the city. A large num-
Der of invitations had been sent out
Ior the jolly masquerade and it seemed
that all accepted the invitation. The
hall was simply packed with dancers.
Many of them wore masks and the
costumes were the most elaborate ever
seen in a masquerade in Kenosha. The
grand march occurred at IL O'Clock and
after the masks had been removed
dancing continued until early morning.
The music for the dance was fur
nished by Jacoby and Con1pton's or
chestra. Refreshments were served in
the hall by the ladies of the w. r. c.
Among the guests present were many
members of the order from Racine,
Milwaukee, Waukegan and Chicago.
At Central Music Hall
At Central Music Hall the season
closed with dance given by the Dan
ish Brotherhood. 1t was the annual
masquerade party and it certainly was
a great success. The hall was beauti
fully decorated for the occasion and
the crowd in attendance tested the ca
pacity of the building. Many friends
of the members of the Brotherhood
were here from other cities and this
added to the success of the party.
After the prizes had been awarded
dancing continued. Supper was served
during the evening and most pleas
ant time is reported by all attending.

CHILDREN'S COTILION.
Mr.. PERKINS, Dancing School for Young
People Closes for the Season.

Saturday evening witnessed the
closing of Mr.. Perrin's dancing school
for children. The school has been
held at the residence of DR.. VIM. M.
Farr for the past season, which was
closed Saturday with a cotilion at
Simmons Hall. About thirty scholars
ranging in age from five to twelve
years and large number of friends
and parents of the children were pres
ent. After round dance or two the
scholars gave their physical culture
exercises under the direction of Mr..
Perrin, after which the children's even
ing was closed with a coti1ion, the
older people dancing afterwards.
During the intermission three of Mr..
PERKINS, Waukegan scholars gave an
exhibition cake walk in a very grace
full and charming manner which was
vigorously app1auded.
All the scholars show remarkable
advancement for the season and Mr..
Perrin is to be congratulated on his
success in Kenosha.

A PLEASANT PARTY.
Social Season of 1901 Closed With an En-
joyable Event at Central Music Hall

One of the most enjoyable social
events of the season marked the close
of the pre-Lenten festivities last even
ing when Mrs. John O'Donne11, Miss
Kelley and Miss O'Brien entertained
large number of their friends at a
dancing party at Central Masic Hall.
The hall was beautifully decorated for
the occasion with flags and bunting,
and the stage on which the orchestra
had been placed was decorated with
palms and potted plants.
About fifty couples were in attend
ance and en- joyed the evening. Dan
cling was the amusement of the even
ing, music being furnished by Jocoby
& Compton's orchestra. At eleven
O'Clock refreshments were served in
the dining room, which was lastly
decorated in harmony with the hall.
Many guests attended the party from
out of the city and assisted in making
it grand success.

Water Commissioners Decide That all
Factories Must Come Under the
Meter Law Recently Passed.
MOST FACTORIES HAVE COMPLIED
At the Meeting Tuesday Evening the Com
City Water Except on Meter Plan.

The Board of Water Commissioners
met in regular session at the City Hall
Tuesday evening and transacted the
usual routine business. The superin-
tendent reported that most of the fac
tories in the city had concurred with
the recent demand that the factories of
the city be placed on the meter system,
and all but three of the factories have
put on meters.
These three factories were endeavor-
ing to'obtain someconcessions wanting
to use part of the water through meters
and part of it directly from the mains.
The board decided that it would be inn
practica bic for them to take such action
as most of the factories have already
accepted the demand and it would not
be fair to 1egislate in favor of certain
factories.
During the past FIVE years the water
commissioners have done every thing
possible for the factories of the city
and have given them exceedingly low
fiat rates-so low, in fact, that it is not
possible for the same schedule of rates
to be continued. They have now made
the meter rates lower than at any point
on the lake shore, with a single excep-
ton, and the rate is fully as low as
those granted to the large plants in
Milwaukee.
The commissioners feel that they
have met the factory managers more
than half way and that in the future
they will expect the factories to live
up to the rule and put on meters in
every instance. On account of the
factories it has been incumbent on the
commissioners to purchase a $4,000
pump for the use of the central station
and there is no reason why the fac
tories, as we'll as private individuals,
should not pay for every gallon of
water used. While advertisements
have been issued for bids for the new
pump no action in this matter was
taken last evening and the bids will
not be opened until April I'd. Many of
the leading pump men in the country
will bid on the work and it is expected
that as fine a machine as the money of
the people will buy will be put in.

OBITUARY.

The passing away of the young IN
the promise Of usefulness and happi-
ness, is always a cause for grief and
mourning, especially when their lives
were 1ovab1e and exemplary
Such was the death of Miss Villa
Ora Nc, Carthy at her mothers home,
Mrs. Este11a Green, in Crystal Lake,
ILL.,, February 10, 1901, at the age of
10 years, l month, 80 days. Deceased
was born..in Ga1ena, ILL.,, Dec. IA, 1884.
She was in, her parents home there for
eight years, ssand then went to Aurora,
Ill. About..fve years ago she came to
Nuuda, ILL.,, and has since resided in
that community.
She was thoughtful and earnest be-
yond one sofs her years, and was ad-
mired in home and school relations for
fidelity to duty and "a beautiful Chris
tan character. Her 1ife's pleasures
were found in duties we'll performed,
and acts of sympathy for the dis
tressed. The school mourns the loss
of a 1ovable and teachab1e pupil, the
church the passing of a devoted and
faithful member, and the home looks
to the heavenly city containing so
beautiful a treasure.
The funeral services we're conducted
from the Christian church in Nunda
Friday, Feb. rs, by the pastor. The
community paid such tribute as is
given only to those who have appealed
to it's highest thought and deepest
emotion. Her Sunday School class of
twenty-five little ones attended in
body, and her 'schoo1mates and teacher
paid tribute of respect together. The
church overlooked with those who had
known and loved her in life. There
were many and beautiful floral trib-
utes, among (which were beautiful
floral pillow from her schoo1mates and
a mammoth bouquet from her fellow
christians in work.
Kind friends prepared the last rest
ing place in .Nunda and Crystal Lake
Union cemetery.with evergreens and
flowers:
The air is full OF farewells to the dying
And mourningsfor the dead;
The heart of Rachel,rfor her children crying,
Will not be comforted.

Not from the ground arise;
But oftentimes celestial bened1ctiOns
Assume this dark disguise.

Safe fr Dm temptation, safe from sim pollution
She sleeps whom we call dead.
