In an able editorial on the opening Of
the st. Louis exposition the New York
Herald SAYS: at must be conceded
that there is a vast difference between
JeHerson's peaceful purchase of contigu-
GUS and virgin territory and the later
acquisition of an archipelago on the
other side of the globe populated with an
alien race and involving a partial war
of conquest" In commentingupon the
above the Philadelphia Record says
s'The purchase ofLouisiana was politi-
cal necessity of the very highest obliga-
ton. The conquest of the Philippines
was an accident of war. Their subse-
quent subjecton to a territorial condition
outside of constitutional limits is a
manifestation of an Unsuitable earth-hun-
ger allied with an immoral spirit of
iingoism."

One More Unfortunate.

New York, May 5.-The first suicide
from the new Williamsburg bridge, over
the East river, occurred early this morn
ing, when an unknown woman made
the leap, and later sank to the bottom
of the river. The woman entered the
bridge from the Brooklyn side and
walked rapidly to a point just beyond
the Brooklyn tower. There she climbed
up to the railing protecting the outside
path from the roadway. A policeman OBJ
served her movement, and called to her
to stop. For answer she climb over
the railing, glanced about her for a
second, and then with wild cry she
sprang off the bridge to the waters, more
than 1876 feet below. In her descent
the woman's clothes spread out in the
wind like a parachute, and she struck
the water with force not sufficient to
have killed her, or even to have stunned
her. Her clothes saved her from sink
ing, and she was carried down the river
by the outgoing tide. Boats were Sc
cured and rowed out to where the body
was last seen floating, but all trace OF
the woman was lost.

Glove ADVICE

Washington, May prof A. H.
Thole, of McComt, Neb., will no longer
be permitted TO send love advice through
the mails. He is reported to have done
a heavy business, his rates being but
$25 in silver. His advertisement, which
guaranteed no failures, is said to read
like this:
"Great secret-How you can make your
lover or sweetheart love you. They just
must love you. They can't help them
selves. This secret is based on scientific
principles and cannot fail"
One ardent lover, who felt that he
hadn't got the worth of his money, sent
to the Postoffice Department "the great
secret as disclosed to him. 1t read as
follows:
"Your letter Of recent date 6 hand
and | will say that the woman yot love,
you must think of with your whole
SOULS intensity that you want her to love
you, in addition to that you must not
drink. Keep clean and neat in your
dress. Be polite and attentive to her.
Be generous, for women hate stingeness
in men but dearly love geaorsity. Be
brave, for women hate towards and love
bravery. Be firm, women hate trifers.
Walk with your head and shoulders well
thrown back. Be dignified, be courteous,
and in every way a gentleman. Flattery
goes a long way to win women, but don't
overdo it. Don't be bashful, as women
hate bashfulness in men but love bold
men. "Yours for suckers.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1904.

REPORT comes from Omaha To the
effect that Mr.. w. J. Bryan will bolt
the ST. Louis convention should ne ind
himself 10 the minority. Thousands OF
his friends prefer to believe he will do
nothing of the kind, and that while he
will continue to exploit the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms, he will interpose
no serious obstacle to harmony when he
finds majority OF the st. Louis con-
yention prefers to concentrate on other
;s.ues than free silver. 4 small minor
ity only made this matter Promi-
nent at the last de,s ocratic national con-
yontion. and the sober judgment 81 at
least two-thirds of the members OF the
convention was averse to the insertion
of that plank in the platform OF lSoo.
They, however, deferred to Mr. Bryan
he being memorable. A democratic
platform minus the 16 to l plank was
10 him Hamlet without Hamlet. 1t
was incorporated in the declaration OF
principles, and repetition OF the dis
aster of 1896 followed. As the great
majority of democrats prefer that other
than free silver be made the issue in the
next campaign, it is hoped Mr.. Bryan
will realize the fact that his views have
been advanced and rejected on two occa'
sions and that he should now vie with
Others who twice supported him for the
Presidency in their effort to win the
next election.

Expulsion of Jews.

Berlin May 5.-The Frankfurter
Zeitung reports that Russia has ordered
the expulsion of lis Jewish families,
numbering 600 persons, from Nikolsk,
in the Province of Tchernigof. The
majority OF these expelled were born in
the district and have become well-to-do.
Their expulsion removes them from a
condition of afiluence to one of desti-
tuition. Tchernigof, adds the paper, is
within the pale and the expulsion is
accordingly illegal and wanton perse-
cution.

Up TO this time it is estimated by Of
fcials sitting at the receipt of customs
that Russia and Japan have expended
forty million dollars in the United States
in the purchase of munitions and sup
plies. This serves incidentally to show
the cost of the desperate game of war as
it is now played by skilled cOmbatants.
The money expended in the United
States is but small part of the drain on
the resources of the combatants in their
mad waste of life and treasure.
