O om B ail , the “George Washing ton” of South Africa, is making history, even though he grows whis kers and smokes a pipe. C ongress has no power to unseat a member because of his religious convictions. Democratic leaders in Utah should have thought of this before they united in securing the election of polygamous Roberts to the United State's senate. A fter waiting more than years Alaska is awakening great American expansion ment, and is moving for tor rights Thus, progress an cation spread out from the to the glaciers, and liberty’s leads the procession. Two new battleships are to lx* named, and there is only one Dewey. But as long as there are heroes there will be hero-worship, and all things animate and inanimate, from poodle dogs to battleships, will bear the names of those whom tin* people are talking about. T he luirem of Congressman Rob erts of Utah is not attracting the attention and comments of the “boy orator,” that tin1 sultan of Sulu and his harem are causing. Possibly Mr. Bryan is not talking about Rob erts for the reason that Hie sultan of Utah is one of his own faith politi cally, while the sultan of Sulu be lieves in expansion, having recently been adopted by Uncle Sam. T he most gratifying feature of the late elections is in the fact that the honest money principle has found a linn lodgment in business circles, and that tin* victory won in 181MÎ is still popular and enduring. Honest money and a thoroughly sound tinan rial jHiliev for the maintenance of public and private credit, were among the tilings settled by the elections in 1895 and 189fl, and prac tically the same issues, with the addition of late national questions, were before the jicople this year. for their approval. W hile the American people are still, to a certain extent, interested in reading the reports of prize tights, most of those who stop to think will readily admit that a professional •lugger whose sole ambition is to make capital out of the misery and suffering of the human brute who is destined to pose as his antagonist, lias 110 rightful place among people who turn their talents to better things. Compared with the glory to be achieved by men who enlist in the service of their country and en gage in war where there are real eleiiieiitn of danger the honor of the “manly ail” fades away, and, instead of acclaiming the brute who punches the other brute until he is exhausted, his banner of victory should t»e us a signal of distress Honor where honor is due. but down with brutality uuder. the guise of bravery. riuti PoiiK ol l.u«* liivalrrd.

Great attached cousins of bluffers, ours. ----------------- W ith the discovery of rich gold mines in the Philippine group, it would be a seven-days’ wonder if England did not step in and claim some kind of a boundary line sonie- where over there, in order to prop erly enclose them. She remembers how she might have had Oregon and California if she had bluffed a little harder, and in the Venezuela boun dary dispute a few years ago, and in the late Alaska controversy, she worried a great deal, but met with the same rebuff. But she can handle the poor Boer republic with better success. D emocracy in Nebraska »trug- gled along supported by the crutch of fusion, therefore two crippled and badly used up parties succeeded in holding that state for the so-called democracy. It is settled that the democratic party must be organized on broader and more liberal lines with greater cohesive power, if it would hope to be a great party of the future. It must do so or die. The time if past when any party can live on traditions. The issues of the past are now of the past, and democrat« must have something more than mere democracy to main tain a great party in either state or nation. — » • « ■ ■ T here is a likelihood that Presi dent McKinley s forthcoming mes sage to congress will contain a big surprise, as it is said that Mr. Me Kiulev has positive information that the Philippine rebellion was caused by advice which Aguinaldo received front this country. Aguinaldo, it seems, had no thought of resisting American authority until he had re ceived direct assurance that in such a movement lie could count on in tluential support in the United States In proof of this the presi dent is said to have reports which he has just received from Gen. Otis and members of the Philippine com mission, as well as extracts from pnx'lamations issued by Aguinaldo just before lii* attack on the Amer ican forces. If the president is able to show conclusively in his message that Aguinaldo was led to lire on American soldiers through the en couragement lie received from cer tain persons in the United States, the issue now being raised bv Mr Brvan against the administration's course in endeavoring to put down the insurrection is considered cer tain to send to political oblivion all j who espouse it. ------------- ► fival FalHtv An Astonishing But i tse Story I rH ■■«•er«.

An authority says their light and beat are caused by tile resistance of our atmosphere to tlieir enormous veloc ity of more than thirty miles a second. Luckily they are so small, probably- averaging less than an ounce in weight, that they are wholly consumed in the upper air; not a single fragment in their countless millions is known to have reached the surface of the earth, nor has any sound been beard from them. Were they as large ns those from which aerolites descend, the consequences of such a bombardment might be serious indeed. Mr. and Mrs. Ned Simmons are resi dents of Blodgett’s Valley. They have two children, the youngest of which is the subject of this melancholy story. The elder child aged perhaps but four or five years, and the little one had not awakened Sunday morning when Mr. and Mrs. Simmons arose. The children were left in bed while the parents went to the barti to attend to the chores. The attention of the father and mother was suddenly attracted by a loud scream from tlie children. Huryring to the house they found the youngest born lying flat on its face in front of the door step, its little body and face terribly burned, and its night dress literally burned away. The children, it seemed, awakened dur ing the absence of the father mid moth er. I11 some way, perhaps in approach ing too near the fire place or stove, the night dress of the baby became envel oped in flumes. The elder child anxious to do something to save the little one. took it by the hand and started to lead it to the parents. Outside the door the little one was able to go no farther, and fell on its face in the stxrt where the parents found it.
