AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Ex-Mayor Perry, of Boston, has writ
ten a letter to the New England I'm
perialist League in which he takes an
optimistic view of the progress of the
Leagues work.
1T seems to me-" writes the ex-
Mayor, that there are many encour-
aging signs today that the American
people are recovering from the intox-
ication which for n time has clouded
their reason and benumbed their con-
science. Thoughtful men and women
outside the ranks of antl-imperialism
are beginning to doubt whether it is
safe to travel much farther along the
pathway of criminal aggression
whether it Is honorable to go on
slaughterng thousands of brave men
of an alien race whose only crime Is
thirst for the same freedom which we
enjoy; whether recreancy to the prin-
| cples upon which our government Is
founded is not too high price to pay
for territorial possessions and polit
ica dependencies whether there is
any profit, after all, in spending 10 do
nestle dollars to gain one dollars
worth of foreign trade. Having faith
in the Eternal Justice, | firmly believe
In the final triumph of the cause cham
pioned by our league if we bravely
keep our place in the battle line. With
such weapons in our hands as the Dec
laration OF independence, the Golden
Rule and the whole gospel of Christ,
failure is impossible
Through the efforts of the New Eng
land Leagues friends in Congress
there will soon be printed in the Con-
gressional Record history of the
! Philippine trouble, which has been
carefully prepared TO show the sig
nhcant acts Of our government. Steps
have been taken whereby the public
can have, but one day late, the full
report of all the evidence at the ses-
sions OF the Philippine Investigating
committee. about which there has been
feeling that the essential facts were
concealed. 1t is regarded as certain
that Gen. Funston will he called to
account officially for his recent public
utterances.

SAMPSON MILES AWAY.

A subscriber sends the Democrat the
following:
The sun sank low over Cuba's isle,
Painting the west for many mile;
The Yankee fleet, with It's watchful
tars,
Floated outside of the reefs and bars;
And stars in the distance glittered gray,
With Sampson twenty-one miles away.
Clark, of the Oregon, he was there;
Evans and Phillips, gallant pair;
Schley. of the lion heart, paced his
deck,
Ready to die at his country's beck.
And the waves leaped up in emerald
play
With Sampson twenty-one miles away
The moon sank low and the night was
gone.
And up like lily rose the dawn:
And ont from an inland harbor's frown
The Spanish vessels came bearing
down.
With death in its menace and He'll to
pay,
With Sampson twenty-one miles away.
Then roared the cannon and shrieked
the SHELL
And the air was red with the lights of
Hell,
The sound of the speaking trumpets
rang
AS the sailors keen to the struggle
sprang;
And the flag flew high in its bright
array,
with Sampson twenty-one miles away.
The Spanish feet to its downfall came

Colorado Celery for the East

Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped East. From
an insignificant business of a few
years ago it has developed to an enor.
nous industry. Three years ago such
thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard Of But
few enterprising spirits decided to
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re
turns were so large that the next yeaI
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly, and this year will
be the banner season of them all
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
and a conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether As each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, II
means that fully 100000 pounds OF
celery will be used for export trade
alone.

of Federal cruiser that was waiting
for her in the darkness.

cruiser. which had suddenly unshroud.

close alongside.

William, "and began to blow of
