When unwise friends were plotting for a third term for the tanner President there was much talk of imperialism and a dic- tator, AX aroused public sentiment disposed of the plotters with impressive effect and with no Tack of consideration for the distinguished soldier victim of the scheme. The then perils of imperialism were mere shadows compared to those thrust upon the coun- try by McKinleyism to-day. Public sentiment has another duty of suppression to perform. To partisans and partisan leaders who hesitate over this emergency of the moment are commended the words of Grant, written twenty-five years ago: “No personal consideration should stand {m the way of performing a duty.” FLIRTATION'S WORST. LIRTATION: Playing at courtship; amorous trifling, or adventure.” That ts the dictionary side of it. Poor, pretty Margaret Reimond, taken to her couch of suffering at Bellevue Hospital, found the part of the defini- tion which is not in the lexicons. Disgrace or the fear of jt, death or the desire for it—these Iie in the forbidden paths opened by foolish girls who enter on flirtation at its worst. Beware those paths, thoughtless fair ones!

Under improved modern processes the product can be sold at that figure with Profit to the maker. It is a pity that an enterprising freezer {s not on hand in New York to knock the 35 cents of extortion out of the 60-cents-a-hundred rate of the present Ice Trust. DEAD LETTERS OF LAW.
