he has assurances that the President
will spare no effort in aiding the con-
summation.
1t might be well for capitalists who
have advanced Baez money on the Sc.
curity OF Dominican lands to know that
grants of value have been made siace

sion last spring, and very little ,hoice
seaboard land is left for anybody.
That there may he no misapprehrn-
sion as TO the extent OF our present
connection with Dominican affairs, the
exact words ot the orders under which
our naval officers are scIlag are given.
They are as follows From Robeson 10
senior officer:
Afford countenance and assistance
TO the Dominican people against their
enemies now in the Island and in re-
volt against the lawfully constituted
government, aud Use the force at your
command 10 resist any attempts TO in.
wade the Dominican territory by land
or sea
Again the Secretary OF the Navy
says:
This government is determined to
protect the present Dominican Govern.
ment with all its power. Use your
force TO give it the most ample protec.
ton against any power attempting TO
interfere with il. II the Haytiens at.
tack the Dominicans with their ship,
destroy or capture them
Finally, since the Commissioners re.
turned from san Domingo, the senior
officer has been instructed: "While
your force is temporarily reduced, u.e
renewed vigilance TO protect the inter
ests OF President Blcz, and conform. as
far As possible. to his wish. From the
foregoing orders of the Secretary Of the
Navy, it will bc seen how great is the
danger OF our being involved in quar-.
rel with England.

AHERo.C LITTLE GIRL.
A writer at Peshtigo mentions the
case OF little girl, twelve years old,
who saved her little sister from death,
but who was advised by many to desist
from the attempt, lest she herself should
perish. She needed them not, however.
but by the most heroic efforts, she sue
ceeded in rescuing her sister from the
merciless flames. Her father, mother,
brothers and other sisters perished by
the devouring element. And after the
fire had abated somewhat, she worked
her way over hot ashes and burning
Goals, dragged the dead bodies of her
relatives out into an open space, and
then stood watching their charrei re.
mains all day and through that long
and desolate night that followed. That
is child heroism the like OF which was
never recorded.
Many other incidents are given OF
heartrending character, and vouched
for by some OF the most prominent resi-
dents OF the ill-fated town, who were
among the survivors, but want OF space
forbids us to publish more. The few we
have selected sufficiently::proye that the
destruction OF Peshtigo carried with it
horrors and sufferings so intense as not
to be surpassed by even the most ter
rible scenes which were enacted in Chi
cago during the confagration.

ticn to the new Constitution of 1929, by
which the freehold qualification of suf-
frage was abrogated, the condition of a
people who have suffered themselves to
become involved in the meshes of debt,
is strikingly depicted. In strong and
vivid words the orator argued that the
clamor for change was attributable to
no inherant defect in the old Constitu-
ton, which the people were about to re-
pudiote but to the degeneracy Of the
people themselves, who had fallen into
