APPROACHING THE MILLkSIUn.

|
"The first article OF England,
foreign policy In the future must be
the cultivation OF an identity Of in
terests with America, with the ulti'
mate aim of forming a great defen.
sive alliance Of the English-speakiUg
powers. We must stand by Ameri
ca in the course which the natural
expansion of her interests prescribes
to her as necessary. No statesman
| who can see beyond his nose has
failed to note the tendencies which
are irresistibly driving America
from her comfortable entrenchment
of negation in the Monroe doctrine.
Her interests and her responsibilities
abroad have grown in spite OF her
and have become too great to permit
her to continue in her old and bliss
| full indifference. The alliance OF
kindred blood, kindred speech and
kindred interests will be that be-
tween the two great powers OF the
| Ebglish-speaking race. They, too,
will be able to stand for civilization
| against all its enemies, and may
prove the ultimate saviors Of culture
and peace"
The above is taken from the Speak
or one of the official organs Of the
British government. In connection
with il the London correspondent OF
a New York paper say: "Whatever
may be said, England at heart would
he glad to see America annex the
Hawaiian Islands. She has too much
to look after herself and does not
want them, but does not want any
other country except America to
interfere" What the correspond
ent means by England at heart is
the great, intelligent mass of Eng
lish people. English speaking peo-
pie, and those who speak other lam
gusges related to that language, are
the literal lords of creation in this
day aud age of the world. III you
don't believe II, just take map OF the
world and sit down aud find il out for
yourself.
1t is so. The beat of Englsnd's
morning drum encircles the earth;
and when IL is g =. NJ, at the western
most point Of the United States pos
sessions, il is 9 a. IN. In the state OF
Maine. All this, too, is the result OF
the Survival of the fitttest," that
doctrine 80 emphatically destested
by our peoples party friends. There
is no nook or corner of this earth
that is not in some measure iDfiuenc
ed by English speaking people, and
Influenced in the most part for good.
The identity Of interest" spoken
of in the quoted paragraph means
interest in the promotion throughout
the world of civilization, and civil,
moral and religions liberty. Eng
land can and ought to take care OF
her own people, and the United
States the same, but when it comes
to emancipsting the millions from
ssvagery, and carrying the light into |
dark places, we all pull on the same |
string. Should the nations that |
speak English, and those allied to
them by the ties of sympathy and
conclude and proclaim to
day that there should be no more
war, there would be none, and the
time is rapidly approaching when 1t
will be so. Dearly beloved, do you
catch on?

son befriended the mother OF Nc
Canlass long years ago, and In return
she afterwards named her son JehD
Anderson McCanlsss. The boy was
bright, and Mr.. Anderson educated
him at the Manhattan Agricultural
College. Seeing that he had grea:
musical tastes, he was sent to the
Cincinnati Conservatory OF music
where he graduated with the highest
honors. At the graduating exercises
quite q number of southern beauties
were on the program and their par
ents and friends who had gathered
there to witness their efforts, seeing
a colored man on the program, OBJ

had been completed, and the audi
ence was retiring, when order was
restored, and 1t was announced that
No on the program, by Mr.. Me-
would now be given. The
audience was again seated, and went
wild with the musical efforts OF the
Kansas born boy. Soon after he
entered a banjo contest in New York
and carried Off the prize. On his
frequent trips home from Hawaii, he
has always expressed a desire to see

Canlass were about to he realized.

IT is to be hoped that the Legisla-
ture this session will provide room
in the State House for the library Of
the State Historical Society. 1t is q
matter i'm which every part of the
State Is interested. The materials of
the history of the whole state are be-
ing saved In this library. IL Is the
most remarkable library i'm the coun-
try, in that it is preserving the regu-
lar issues of all the newspapers pub
lished i'm Kansas, and has been for
seventeen years past. OF Saline
county, there are now in the lib airy
l22 volumes of newspapers, of years
from 1866 to 1898. In all, the library
contains 1854 volumes of Kansas
newspapers. These have been the
free gift to the state by the publish
ers. They who gave them can rea-
sonably demand that they should be
cared for. These files alone are
worth more to the people of Kansas
than all the Historical Society has
ever cost the state. But the library
not only contains newspaper files,
but books, pamphlets, manuscripts,
pictures, and numberless historical
relics. The institution has created q
worldwide interest, and has attract
ed gifts from every quarter, until 1t
numbers now upwards of 10000 vol
umes. The plans Of the State Capt.
tol, made many years ago, make no
adequate provision for this library
For want Of room, a large part Of the
library has been crowded into cellar
rooms, where it is stored In packing
boxes. A small portion Of the vast
room in the Capitol building, II set
apart for the use OF this library now,
would accommodate it for many
years. The Legislature should pro-
vide rooms for its immediate use,
and direct that i'm the completed
Capitol building there shall be pre-
pared ample and suitable room for
its future accommodation.

A, the home of Mr.. and Mr.. C. b.
Chick on Melville street Wednesday even
ing there was a very pretty wedding, that
of Mr.. Chicks youngest sister. Miss Martha
A. Chick, to Mr.. Joseph f. Young, both of
this city.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
the late Thsddeus A. Chick, for years Il
we'll known printer and publisher in this
city. The groom ia the son of Mr.. Alonzo
A. Young. the contractor.
The ceremony occurred at T. NJ. and
was performed by Rev. DIR. Penney. 1t
was private wedding, only members OF
the respective families being present.
MIR. A. A. Young will go South for the
winter, Mrs. Young stopping with her
daughter in New York City. Their resi-
dence on Bangor street will be occupied
this winter by the newly married couple.
They were the recipients of very many
beautiful wedding gifts. Both are very
popular in Augusta circles and go to their
new home not only with the very best
wishes but many substantial tokens of their
friends esteem. They expect to make Au-
gusta their permanent home, Mr.. Young
being the proprietor of the fine new drug
store on Cony street.
The bride was sttired in white Saline and
carried in her hand twelve bridal roses.
Mr.. Leigh c. Chick, brother Of the bride,
acted as best man and Miss Lillian F..
Blackman acted as bridesmaid. Miss
Blackman wore an old rose siik, en'tain,
with point lace.
