An Eulogv of The Late Ruler, by an American Lady Known in Lindsay ' A lady who lives in Webster. N.Y.. 1119 Wife of an ex-membcr of the state legislature. and- intimate friend of 3. Lindsay family with whom she and her husband have visited two or three times at Sturgeon Point. writ- es to one of them. as follows:â€"-â€"â€" "We thank you for your expression of sympathy in our great national and personal bereavement. You have so lately lost your good queen, you understand something of the depth of our Sni‘l‘()‘.‘.‘. Yet this seemed to come nearer still to our he trts owing to the tragic and sens- less manner of the taking off of our great :an good President not onlv, but of our Dgieatest public mind and man. also our tenderest and dearest f1 iend He had grown so into our 'lives and loves. He had so mingled with the people as one of them only Seeking to serve us and to do us good. while he wronged no other people. We had heard him speak, in admiration not only of his noble rees nce and voice but of those pure and uplifting sentiments that always glowed like diamonds in his states- manlike speeches. We had shaken him by the hand stabding on a lev- el with us, and heard him say “I am very happy to meet you.” He seemed like a dear friend, yet we looked up- on him as a figure of granduer on acâ€" count of his great ability as a super- ior statesman not only, but because he was such a perfect type of Christ-- ian manhood. The tears are still near the surface when we speak or write or think of him. We ask why must this have been ? um I expect an answer to the ques- tion as time passes and the history of this people unfolds. Anyone not wilfully or ignorantly blinded can can trace through all our past hisâ€" tory as a people. the divine strangeâ€" ly interwoven with the human. If this terrible tr? gedy shall be the beginning of a war against an- archy that shall destroy it root. and branch in all the civilized world, will we count the sacrifice too clear ? It is true of Mr. McKinIey with emrzhasis that he still lives and Wm net-er (130. His inflpence will be per- mrnerm. Already In many ways We. feel it. Not only in What. he has achieved for this great nation. but fnr the moral and spiritual force of Iris being; that is impressing itself r-pon the people he governed. So many have felt a purifying, uplifting «xperience on account of his glorious PRESIDENTQMCKINLEY one fine mom- 338 h“ ‘ when we got the won print - ed on some ban- cried a - long,“Quicklo - death. Atheism and infedelity, rev- enge. and malice stand reproved, and everything that is commendable in human character seeks to be supple- mented by divine help to rise to greater heights of strength and pur- ity. Millions of men and women now and to be, will be the better for the example of Wm. McKinley’s life and his sublime death, that was so Christ-like in his resignation and in his prayer for forgiveness for his linurderer. The poor, miserable cow- ardiy tool for others plotting who did the terrible deed, will soon be in eternity. I imagine we have a President who will not deal with this diabolical anarchism very ging- erly. As far as his power can go, supplemented by Congress, I believe he will make a masterly work with it.” It is claimed as a fact by success-l ful fruit growers that the use of‘ coal ashes as a manure for gardens and fruit trees is attended by ex- cellent results. Mr. Henry R. Spenc- er and Mr. J. S. Ilullett of Napanee attribute the large and regularly borne crops on. their apple and plum trees to the free use of coal ashes about the trees. This discovery may be of a good deal of practically valâ€" ue. It may turn out that the people are making a big mistake in throw- ing away their coal ashes each sea- lson, instead of using them a'~ [mulch or manure.

Before their eyes were open, imother kit had her kittens taken away from her and she was present- ed with the family of squirrels.

The recently-adopted public platform of Iowa. for example, con- tained these words: “We favor finch an amendment of the interstate com- merce act as will more fully carry out the prohibition of discriminaâ€" tion in rate making, and any modi- fication of tariff schedules that may be required to prevent their afford- -ners as - P9.“ “P [a [0‘ A Little of Everything shelter tc; monopoly.” Thai: I It is reported that Mr. Hays, wno resigned his position as president of the Southern Pacific road the other day, on account of friction with the "directors, received for his 10 months 'services $155,500. On this basis, ‘Mr. Hays was paid $15,500 per 'month. or at the rate of 3186.000 1a year. No man ever before received ,as president af a railway company! i in the United States more than $50,- 000 a year. Mr. Hayes had a con-1 tract with the Southern Paciiic‘ which called for a salary of $55,000 a year, and he would undoubtedly have forced itin the courts for the qull term of his contract. He tenderâ€" ed his resignation, however, and sur- rendered his contract, and it is statâ€" ed he was paid his salary for a year full, and was given in addition a cheque for $100,000. ' author.

Minority ana Majority In last week’s Sun Prof. }oldwin Smith says :â€" A common mental phenomenon is profound respect for freedom of opin- ion combined with a conscientious sire to limit the freedom to your- ;elf zfiid those who think as you do. Of this we have had plenty of ex- amples of late. People who dared to oppose the war have been constantly told that they ought not to have been tolerated, but were fit subjects for violent repression. A minority. when it is voted into awar, it may be by a majority of one. is bound to pay its war taxes and to abstain from interference of any kind with military operations, But it is not1 bound, on the contrary, it is by thel 'duty 'of a citizen plainly forbidden to eliminate itself as a factor of the .opinion and conscience of the natiovi. At all events, ifs silence is to be the rule. it ought to be equally imposed .upon great parties. It is surely ’monstrous to say that a war party ,is to be at liberty to go on inflam- ;ing the passions of the peonle, givâ€" f inp: them its Own version of the facts J‘AAâ€"‘_ .LA ...,. , and perhaps nersuading them to re- joct reasonable overtures of peace, while the other party is bound to look on in_ passive m‘lence and see, as 1t thnokg Ill-{IVOC made of the real inâ€" terests and honor of the country. The war with the American colonies would have been prolonged by George E. Roberts, Director Mr. Hays, who III. and his political myrniidons to a most ruinous extremity if the 0p- position in Parliament, and the coun- try had not. been heard. The sign of a division of opinion may encourâ€" age the enemy; this cannot be denied; but the answer is that the adVocates of a. war should take care before en- tering into it that they have clearly stated the cause, and that they have the reason and conscience of the nu:- tion unquestionably on their side.

The medicine which keepsdmbies in such a condition or which restores them to it when they are ill is cer- tainly a. priceless boon to humanity. iThere are many medicines which pro- duce sleep, but their action upon the child is similar to that which whisky or opium has upon a full grown man. I They deaden and stupify and are the most deadly things that can be giv- en to children. The only safe course is to use na- ture’s remedies. Nature has provid- ed a vegetable cure for every ill. and her remedies for children's disorders are scientifically compounded in Baby’s Own Tablets. For diarrhoea constipation, colic. simple fever. croup, irritation when teething, in- digestion and all the disorders of children so familiar to mothers, this remedy is conceded by the medical profession to be without an equal, ‘Its effect is gentle. soothing, promptâ€" ‘ly curative and never failing.
