IT'S twilight-the hush of the evening
Is settling DER hill and Ger vale.
The lowing Of herds in the distance
Comes family DER the dale.
The focks have ceased their wandering
Ger the meadows to and fro;
With tinkling bells and gambols
Thro' the glade they homeward go.
The birds are sweetly trilling
AS they fit thro' the leafy bowers,
Seeking their mates and nestlings
Ia the quiet evening hours.
The bees are lazily droning,
As they sip the nectar sweet,
Then leaving the clover and flowers,
Hasten home with laden feet.
In the stiffness, the whipoorwin song
Is plaintively heard DER the lea,
While the children are merry and happy
Enjoying the cool eve in their glee.

SENATOR HANNA not only sayshe
has no intention Of resigning, but
also declares that the people will
have to decide whether he shall
retire from the senate at the end of
bis term. Neither will he resign

republican committee. Those who
thought that the Ohian was 'done

mistaken. He is still in the game,
and will probably have something
to say in the next republican con-
yention. Mckinley IS dead, but
Hanna still lives.

WINTER has set in, and hard coal
IS still higher than usual, with
prices on all sorts of necessaries
also about twenty-five per cent
above former prices. The increase
in wages made by the leading north
ern railroads, averaging ten per
cent of the wages paid their employ
es, makes a little rift in the cloud
for them. Yet the increase is consid-
erably less than the increased cost
OF living, which the railroad cor
porations themselves admitted to
be % per cent over that OF a few
years ago. Altogether the outlook
indicates a hard winterin the colder
states for the poor.

WINDING UP IN A ROW.
From the sprinrfleld Republican,.

From the Springfield Republican,
II 10 the opinion OF Chairman Bah
cock of the Republican congressional
campaign committee that the failure
of Cuban reciprocity will have no ad-
verse effect upon the party in the com
ing elections. Indeed. he thinks that
the party, by appearing TO ride two
horses. will prove stronger than ever
among the people. Beet sugar Repub-
licap representatives will be in splen-
did shape to defend their own interests
before their constituents, while in other
sections it cannot be charged that the
House has failed in its duty toward
Cuba" That is, the beet sugar con-
gressmen can point their constituents
to the fact tnat Republicans in the
Senate killed freer trade with Cuba,
while other Republican congressman
seeking reelection can say that the
party In the House and through the
President has proved true to the ma
tional obligation to grant reciprocity
On the other hand. the Republican
Chicago InterO Ocean finds that the beet
sugar Senator's are proving themselves
demoralizing and dangerous force
and ION the eve of congressional cam
paign they are scheming to divide the
Republicans on distinctively party
question and are giving the Democrat,
new opportunities for attacH."
And the truth appears to be that thu
| question is forcing n division of seriou!
depth in the Republican ranks. The
Babcock idea that the party can sue
cessfully ride the two horses to greater
victory than ever is fantastic. 1t is
not simply a question of reciprocit!

tional obligation deliberately incurred
That is bad enough as caso of prac
teal politics. 1t Is also a question o.

To begin with, Imperialism discloses
its inner backness by the outer white
wash of its name. Like Caesars pax
pacata, which so gently summarized
wholesale .nyassacres. burnings and
lootings, the word imperialism"
draws verbal veil over atrocities Mt
which we are wont to shudder when
we hear Of their perpetration by other
nations. AS soon as one of its verbal
wells wore thin tand they were all very
thin to begin With. Imperialism would
Immediately manufacture another. till

list OF their jesuitical achievements is

one for himself from secondhand hi

nothing less than a stupendous crime,
a wholesale slaughter of hundreds Of
thousands of innocent men and chill
dren.
So each word In the long list here
given is a flatulent subterfuge. 1t
will thus be seen that insincerity is
the keystone of Imperialism
A second popularity of Imperialism,
and akin to the characteristic already
mentioned. is its reversible logic, n
marvellous compendium of non-sequi-
tnrs, paradoxes and undistrbuted
middles. To the imperialist there is
nothing lncongI uous in celebrating our
Fourth of July and at the same time
numbering brave race that aspires
TO an independence day of It's own.
Again. lmperiali. II Is unaware Of
any Inconsistency in It's expectation
of equal approval for giving Cuba its
freedom and Withholding freedom
from the Philippines And here one
may notice the demoralizing effect of
the lmperialist patois. in the very ex.
preston, giving the Filipinos their
liberty" AS though liberty were
commodity which any man or nation
might give TO or withhold from another
man or nation.
Once more. the imperialist displays
the coherency of his logic, his princi
pies and practice in his ability to Sun
day forth in psalm.like tones the
decalos, the Sermon on the Mount or
prayers for THE poor. the sick and
the afflicted" conveniently forgetting
the hundreds OF thousands of FIJI.
pinos whom his vote or influence has
helped TO murder or bereave.
Yet another popularity OF the i'm.
perialist is his treatment of the coura.
geous men, like Senator Hoar. who
have dared TO lift up their voices for
the brave race whom we are murder.
ing, Were any other nation conduct
ing such war as we are waylnr
against the Filiplnos the tmperialist
would he ready to place the names
of Senator Hoar and those like him
where they belong, with all the other
great names whose fame was won in
battle for the freedom OF others.
But now the imperialist denounces
all such great souls as traitors" a
name equally applicable to Pitt, Pat.
rick Henry. Lowell, Whittier, Wendell
Phillips and all those who have dared
to denounce tyranny and oppression.
To put the matter quite frankly and
as a logical deduction from his own
premium the imperialist (however
quiet and modest his 'front.' is at heart
bully. He is the man who would
violate the rights of another boss him
without his consent and falling to do
so would kill him to prove his Anglo.
