We have 10 doubt at all that the seem

The importance Of having navy aud a
merchant marine as a source Of great
rejoicing among Canadians and other

We cannot understand is why Americans,
even though they be Mngwumps, should
be so utterly opposed to any measures
lookiog 10 the restoration Of American
eupremacy on the ocean. Only the other
day when the question as to the advisa-

House Of Representatives. there were
not few congressmen who, for the

If Mr. Johnson and his free trade friends
succeed in their intentions Of distributing
one million copies Of the pamphlets through
out the country it will bring such a protec
ton tidal wave next November as the couu-
try has not esjoyed for years In square
hght between protection aud free trade with
all side issnes eliminated, at least seven
tenths Of the voters will be found on the side
Of protection. The Chinese minister has
filed formal protest with the State Depart
ment against the new Chinese la,g, signed by
Tie President last week, and there are all
sorts ofTumors about retaliation contempla

A Free ship Point for Kentucky.

The Morning Record of Cleveland
mentions that a steamer building at
Buffalo is framed aud timbered through
out with Kentucky oak, the freight on
which cost $4,000. Free ship advocates
would stop all expenditures for Kentucky
oak and Georgia pine for shipbuiiding
But Kentucky and Georgia Representa-
YES will vote for free ships and Kentucky
aud Georgia electors will return them, or
their kind, to Congress.
England has a big pull" and gets all
sorts of people to serge her; a remarkable
feature in the case is that some Of her
most devoted servants among our cleo
tors are those who are the most indignant
when charged with that service. OF
course Congressman generally affect in
dignation It is seldom that AcAdoo
orenly acknowledges the influence ex-

May Book News has a
plate paper portrait of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, the poetess,
as well as a speaking likeness
of Daniel L. Dawson, a young

work includes some very clever
verses. All the regular Book

best. The New Book" list
covers one kuNdred and ninety
eight titles. Do you realize
what that means? Nearly two
hundred books analysed, dis

A determined opposition fought the
River and Harbor bill in Congress, and it
as.ls.ass...si.. 49, Democratic side Of the
House. TO Delaware this Bill means
much. Deepen and broaden our water
ways aud Delaware will become the great
est ship building State in America. I'm
prove her small rivers, and steam navi-
CATION will make the fields Of Kent aud
Sussex the gardens for the great cities
north Of US. Milford is probably as deeply
interested in the River and Harbor bill
as any community, and our Senators and
Representative are aware of our necessi-
ties. The bill has passed the House and
the people Of Milford will watch the
recording Of our delegation in Congress
on this important measure.

She was Donna Feiipa Palestrello, Of Lis

dowry a valuable collection OF charts,
maps and important memoranda made
during his voyages.
The marriage with Column bus was love

contracting parties had many worldly
goods, and after their wedding they
went to live with Mother in-law PaIes-

Mrs. Columbus died while their only
