SILVER COINAGE

We are practically without coast de-
Tense. Our forts and other structures,
while good enough for the arms of the
day in which they were made, would be
worse than no protection for the modern
guns now under construction for harbor

at the most important points should be

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The PRESIDENT
message was read at the joint session Of
house and senate. The document con
tanned over IA 900 words and its reading
occupied an hour and fifteen minutes.
Good will and cordially, Mr.. Harrison
says, characterizes our relations with
all foreign countries. The international
convention, now in session at Washing
ton, affords opportunities of still furthe,
extending relations with South Ameri.
can states, and congress is asked to give
its cooperation in furthering such re.
suit. The maritime conference is also
expected to bring the United States into
closer relations with European countries.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.
In regard to diplomatic relations the
president recommends that our repre-
sentatives in South America be advanced
to a rank corresponding to that of the
representatives from those countries.
The failure of the negotiation of a Chi
nese treaty has left questions open which
congress should settle, especially the ex-
clusion of labor immigration. Samoan
affairs are in satisfactory state. Cues
tions between the United States and
Great Britain are in an encouraging way
to adjustment. The fisheries dispute
with Canada has been during the past
year marked by temperate action on both
sides. Questions regarding citizenship
Of foreign born subjects naturalized in
America, continue to arise, notably in
France, Italy, Russia and Turkey.
Special conventions to settle for
ever all such difficulties are recon-
mended. Water boundary between the
United States and Canada should be
definitely fixed. Extraditable offense
list should be enlarged.

three good sized cubs. They oil ran for

Levi Small rushed headlong in pursuit of

the old bear rushed L the scene, but the

such good effect that Bruin fell In her

A nrnvn LIttIe sailor.

On a weather worn bark that is moored

there is a little chap with a remarkable
history. He is Z years old. his name is
Garfield SlOcum, and he is the son Of
Capt. Slocum. who has juSt arrived here
in a small boat from a 1000 mile sail
from South America. Garfield was born
in 1881 in Hong Kong, China. and vas
named in honor Of President Garfield by
Col Mosby. consul at thai point. The
boy has travelled o less than 275. 900
miles, including two voyages around the
world. and has touched his foOt upon the
soil of the three Americas. Europe, Asa,
Africa and any quantity of islands,
and been clear around Australia. His
last trip on the LibeFtad. a boat thirty
i've feet long. carrying only four tons,
was 1000 miles long, a sea voyage I'M
paralleled for a vessel Of the size. His
father. mother and elder brother were
his companions. Al times they were
1000 miles from land, and the frail little
craft met dangerous storms. but came
through safely Garfield Is a good sailor
and has never shown any fear Of the sea.
In fact he does o know anything but
the sea. having never lived on land longer
than two weeks at q time. This Lib

very favorably, and the first night on

Minnesota the Best.

Minnesota Is still able to offer to
the farIner-the wheat grower and
the dairyman especially-the cheap
est and best wild lands to be found in
the whole country, and Stevens
county can furnish its share Of those
lands. Put that down as fact, and
as true as holy writ. For ten years,
says the Minneapolis Journal, west
ern settlement has been running over
and past millions of acres Of the finest
farming land in the world, abundant
ly supplied with the finest water to
be had anywhere, because the idea
prevailed that 1t was necessary to go
to some Of the newer and more west
ern communities to secure cheap
lands. rhe contrary is now becom-
ing known and the unoccupied lands
of Minnesota are coming into unpre-
cedented demand. It is no longer
necessary to go west for cheap lands.
They can be hal in great abundance
and of very superior quality right
