the cadets are drilled thoroughly in
mathematics, to train the mind to ex-

THD scheme to annex the Sand
witch islands to the United States;
like that for annexing Cuba, meets
with no favor anywhere in this coun-
try, Neither the present administers
ton nor the people anywhere favor
either scheme. The annexation OF
any outside territory to the United
States would add constant source OF
expense without any return compen-
satien. The country is large enough,
and while it might be held a matter OF
duty of this country to give these out
side islands not only.government but
protection, it cannot be SO considered
so while they manifest so little dis
position to be governed. 1t is doubt
full indeed whether we should gel
thanks for any such service, and the
better way is to allow them to man
age their own affairs in their own
way.

gathered on his forehead, and he

he was nearing the edge OF the woods

not be better to climb one Of the high
