Mrs. Hugh Fraser. the author, wild
ow Of an English diplomat and sister
of Marion Crawford, says of her life
in Japan. to which her husband was
minister from Great Britain:
The absence of snobbishness and kin
dred vices in Japan impresses itself
very clearly upon one. There are two
characteristics of the Japanese which
stand out very boldly. Home life Is
paramount. and the possession of mon
ey is but lightly regarded Any one
who would pretend to he richer than
he is would be calmly avoided as a
fool. Money is not spoken Of the alb
sence Of it is not apologiZed for. A
person living i'm a poor way gives a
guest all he has to offer and is not hui
inflated Mt having TO show his power
ty. The rich man does not overwhelm
you with his riches. He shows you
one beautiful object from his collection
at n time i'm an empty room. only beau
tiful through its perfect proportions,
coloring and cleanliness. These people
travel through life so lightly weighted,
their requirements are so few in the
material order. that they seem as indie
pendent rs the swallows and fly where
we, weighted down by the commissariat
for our artificial wants, can only creep.
But they hold invisible things very pre-
cious. Honor and self respect. the love
of their children. the harmony of the
family. the privileges of patriotism the
commonwealth of learning, these are
things for which they will sacrifice
much.

Tennyson md sightseers.

Tennyson's well known aversion to
sightseers and their ways gave rise to
many an odd experience. Once, 1t is
said, he complained to Queen Victoria,
saying that he could no longer stay in
the Isle of Wight owing to the tourists
who came to stare at him.
The queen, with kindly irony. said
that she herself did not suffer much
from that grievance. But Tennyson.
taking her literally, replied in the same
strain.

THIs Is THE last issue of the UN-
ION before election. We would
gladly have visited every precinct in
the Park before election day, but it
was simply impossible. Let every
democrat and independent voter,
man and woman, do his and her duty
on election day, and the result will
be satisfactory. Now is good time
to show the patriotism Of the party.
The Denver dailies and weekly pap
ers in the state rejecting public senti'
ment at this time, indicate that the
state will go democratic by a
good majority This is the way it
should be. North Park never was in
better shape to uphold the principles
Of the party than now.
Reports from the Philippines, Sa-
moa, Guam, Porto Rico, and in fact
all our outlying colonies, show con-
dition of debauchery, drunkenness
and total disregard Of human rights
enough to disgust all right minded
Americans with the imperial policy
of the party in power. Let's put
them out.

ELDER PHIFER's Lee

kLDEH EHIFER'S Leo
TURE ON EDUCATION
LAST SATURDAY EVENING was q
very ft time for a lecture on such a
topic. The weather was fine and the
speaker well prepared for the present
alton Of most worthy theme. Re.
cent events in our little town, forcibly
impressed upon us the Importance OF
education OF strictly moral charact-
er, and the Elder was not slow to
take advantage of that point in in
sisting that education of religious
character should not be neglected.
Not having his topic in any regular
chronological order, he went at 1t
somewhat at random, but succeeded
In interesting his audience for an
hour or more in his usually fascin-
hting manner. II must be dull
audience indeed, that Elder Phifer
cannot interest on almost any ques-
tion. He enumerated the Sunday
School, the Freedman's Society, Mis-
sionaries, and Luthers Reformation
among the great religious education
al movements. State aud denomina-
tional institutions and public schools
are the bulwark of Church and State,
as they produce from year to year,
preachers, teachers, statesmen, law
yers, doctors and educated men and
women for all the difieren. profes-
sions and businesses Of life. Igno-
rance Is like dull tools, while educa-
tion elevates the mind and the man
and calls out talent that the individ-
uaI may possess that never
would be known If it were not for his
being educated. He looked upon
Iowa as one of the great states for
educational institutions and public
schools. Several amusing stories
were told about the hard struggles of
poor students to get an education.
One especially, where young man
worked for his education ut menial
labor, portion of the time living on
crackers and milk and when he grad
uated he married one of the lady pro-
fessors in the college. II boy
could do that living on crackers and
milk, what might he not do il fed on
high grade fare.
The audience enjoyed every word
OF the Elders lecture and those who
were not present, missed literary
treat. When Elder Phifer is booked
for lecture ut Walden, count the
UNION among his auditors.

Oa TUESDAY, Der. 22nd, County
Clerk Tedmon received a communica
ton from the State Board of Equal
ization at Denver, stating that the
board, by virtue of the authority
vested in it by law, after reviewing
the appraisement made by Assessor
Osborn for Larimer County, had in
creased that valuation 10 per cent
This, in other words would COMPEL
the citizens of this county to pay
taxes on property at valuation
100000 higher than that Of Mr. Os.
born. Taxes on all kinds of proper
ty would be increased corresponding
".
Mr.. Osborn took the first train to
Denver, after receiving this informa-
tion. and met the Board ON the 23rd.
After spending almost the entire day,
10 convinced tho gentlemen that his
lelpation ,was just and honest, and

AND STILL THE starvation of the
Boer children goes on in British Con-
centration camps with increased death
rates. The figures for September be-
ing 1864 in u population of l09,41S.
The total deaths, adults and all, were
2,4l1. This is at a rate of over 43
per cent. for the children per year,
and over 26 per cent. for all.
Twelve times as great as the average
death rate in healthy state.
One London paper, "The Evening
Star says: ",Yould that we could
lay the corpses Of these children
along Pail Mall"
Yet the Christian churches and
the Christian governments of the
world say not word at this most
damnable method OF deeimation and
death as practiced by the British gov
ernment. Christian ministers! Its
wonder the God you profess to wor-
ship don't blast you with his curse

murder of these helpless children of
your brother Christians in war cursed
