DISAPPEARANCE OF Al PREJUDICE,

During the administration of
Grover Cleveland, when the Presi-
dent sent to Congress a.message
on the return of the ConfedeIa ate
battleAags, it stirred up a contro-
versy as bitter almost as the strife
in which those flags were lost. A
prominent Republican Senator de-
nounced it with a curse: "Palsied
be the brain that thought it; pal
sled be the tongue that said it,
and palsied be the hand that wrote
the message. Decoration day
(fouud) the Confedel ate flags re-
turned to the SOILS of those who
fought under them, and veterans
of both armies eulogizlng the lives
of those who fell under the Union
standard. Baltimore News.

DON'T WANT TO WRECK THEM.

The people don't want the cor
-poratious wrecked. They couldn't
get along without them. In fact,
they are calling for them all the
time to build railroads, mills and
to engage in other sorts of enter
prise for the development of the
state, The purpose of states
man, therefore, should be to have
them dealt with justly-to see TO
it that they get what they are
entitled to and nothing more, that
they do not become the oppressors
of the people. If this is the right
position why should an anti-cor-
poratio.A record be thought SO de-
sirable by any one seeking the
suffrages of the people?-Savan-

STRANGE THINGS.

Strange things occur. Russia.
induced Germany and France to
push her into the war with Japan.
The French and German Emperor
with a few of his upper, ten sup
porters, have made no special
effort to pull Russia out of the ter.
fible situation. They of oJhlse,
never thought that their plsh
would be such great and dolse-
quental one. Russia, Germany
and France knew that Japan1 Uuld
protest against Russia's perma-
nent occupancy of Manchuria, es-
pecially of Port Arthur, but they
did not think that a protestation
OF the part OF the little yellow
people would take such forms of
violent action and assume prodi-
gious proportions. Some little
shivers of apprehension are pass
ing through the "bodies polite"
of Germany and of France. If, as
result sof the war, Russia should
be compelled to relinquish Man
churia, it is not Improbable that
China, acting under the inspira-
tlon of Japan, will force Germany
and France to abandon Kiao Chow
and Kwang Chow Foo, the ports
which they claimed and seized and
secured as kind of reward for the
part they took in forcing Japan,
after the China -Japenese war in
1895, to give back Port Arthur to
China.

invented a new explosive that is

time four to five times as powerful
as any of the explosives at present
in use. And it can be manufact-
ured in coffee-mlll, at cost of
about four cents pound. What
the world really needs is not more
and cheaper explosives, but some
plan for putting out of business

human bodies into fragments in

An interesting fact in connec-
tion with Japan's great sea victory
is pointed out by the Washington
correspondent for the Chicago
Tribune This correspondent says !:
Japan, which on Saturday was a
nation of some 100000, is TO-
day a nation of about 66, 900,
for Corea belongs to her as GER
taiply as the Philippines belong
to the United States, and tomor-
row, with Russian territory she
will have greater population even
than the United States. The EN-
pire of the Rising Sun is indeed
the empire of the risen sun The
opinion is also expressed that ia
pan will insist upon a large cash
indemnity because she has made
immense expenditures. The IN
terest she pays upon loans nego.
tiated since the war began amount
annually to $44 900, 900.

In New Jersey a day or two ago
four persons died of arsenical pois-
oning, 1t seems that Mrs. Day
"hurIiedly made a strawberry
shortcake. = II the cup picard
where she kept her baking powder
was a baking powder can contain
ing arsenic. In her haste she got
hold of the wrong can, and put
two teaspoonfuls of arsenic into
the cake. 1t is rather difficult to
express sympathy for Mrs. Day,
who was victim of her own
stupid hlunder. Anybody who is
fool enough to keep arsenic and
baking powder side by side in cans
identically alike comes pretty near
TO deserving to get hold of the
wrong can.
