Frederick r. Condert, the eminent New
York lawyer, a conservative Democrat in
politics, and who was one of the United
States counsel before the Behring sea tri-
bunal, says, England has been the bully
of the world. Her policy is one of aggres-
sion. She holds Gibraltar, and by that
means has Spain by the throat When
France was tied up with Germany, Eng
land took advantage of the opportunity
and seized Egypt. In the days of Disraeli
England seized Cyprus. In the event of
trouble between this country and England
France would sweep into Egyps and Russia
would march upon Constantinople. John
Bull has no friends and Uncle Sam has no
enemies. If there should be trouble be-
tween America and England the sympathies
of all Europe would be with us, and the
hand of every European nation would be
raised against England. The English gov
eminent appreciates its friendlessness and
its helplessness, and because of that fact
there will be no war"

Her Point OF View.

A poor little damsel had trouble with

herself unobserved and alone. She threw
herself on her knees before her bed and,
burying her face in the pillow, began a

A Threat to Close Hotels and Restnur-
ants ut st. AIbnns.

A meeting of the hotel and restaurant
keepers at St. Adams was held last week
to consider matters relating to the enforce
ment of the prohibtory law. Every such
place in town was represented. While no
action toward organization was taken, it
seemed to be the feeling that an attempt to
enforce the law should be resisted. The
sentiment seemed to be in closing every
hotel and restaurant in town if the govern
or should appoint a special prosecutor for
ST. Adams who should attempt to enforce
the law. Another meeting will be held
soon, at which some action will be taken.

A syrup from Corn CObs Said 20 Rival
che Vermont Maple Product

Frank Shafer of Lacon, ILL.,, claims to
have discovered method for making
perfect substitute for maple syrup out of
corn cobs. He boiled a quantity of cobs
to see whether they could not be used in
connection with something else for feeding
stock. He happened to taste the water in
which the cobs had been cooked and found
that il was similar to maple syrup. Fur
Their experiments were made until an arti-
Gle was produced which the experts in La
con declared to be maple syrup. 1t was
made from the following recipe: Twelve
clean cobs were put in gallon of water
and boiled until soft. Then the juice was
strained off and gallon of dark brown
sugar solution added. This was boiled
little while, resulting in fine quality of
syrup, hardly distinguishable from the ma
pie product.

How the Message Has Been Received


The Presidents message on the Vene-
zuelan boundary question appears to have
been received in Washington with cordial
approval by the senators and representa-
tives of both parties, though the older and
wiser heads are not talking much about it.
Its reading was applauded in both houses
of Congress. Congressman Boutelle of
Maine, Republican, is one of the few who
openly criticises the message, declaring it
to be move to please the "jingon ele-
ment, and device on the part of the
President to rehabiitate his administra-
ton and cover up its colossal blunders.
The newspapers generally give their
warm endorsement. Foremost in such ex-
pressions are Republican papers like the
Boston journal, the New York Tribune
and Press, the Philadelphia Ledger, the
Chicago Inte.-Ocean, and many others.
On the other hand the Democratic New
York World strongly opposes the proposed
policy, and the New York Herald, which
is a warm supporter of Mr. Cleveland per-
sonally, is very guarded in its expression.
The Independent or Mugwump papers dep
recate the Presidents action-the Spring
field Republican, the Providence Journal
and the New York Evening Post being in.
cluded in this list. The Post, which has
always been Mr.. Cleveland's foremost apol-
ogist, even goes so far as to say that the
message constitutes Mr.. Cleveland "the
Jingo-in-chief of the whole pack" and
will "enable him to pose all next year as
the war candidate for the presidency"
The English and Canadian papers call it a
lingo message and declare their readiness
to fight if the United States persists in the
course outlined
