Tho Only Colonization Is the English.

Colonization and territorial extension
are burdens not gains. Great civilized
states cannot avoid these burdens. They
are the penalty of greatness because they
are the duties of it. No state can sue
cessfully undertake to extend its juriS-
diction unless its internal vitality is
high, so that it has surplus energy to
dispose of. Russia is a state which has
taken upon itself tasks of this kind be-
You'd its strength and for which it is III
no way competent Italy offers at this
moment the strongest instance of a state
which is imperiling its domestic well
fare for a colonial policy which is be-
You'd its strength, is undertaken arbitra-
rily and has no proper motive. Germany
has taken up colonial policy with
great eagernesS, apparently from q no.
tion that it is one of the attributes of q
great state. To maintain it she must
add great navy to her great military
establishment and increase the burdens
of population which is poor and heav-
lily taxed and which has not in its terri
tory any great natural resources from
which to draw the strength to bear its
burdens
Spain is exharsting her strength to
keep Cuba, which can never repay the
cost unless it is treated on the old colo
NAL plan as q subject province to be ex
plotted for the benefit of the mother
country. If that is done, however, the
only consequence will be another rebel
lion and greater expenditure. England
as penalty of her greatness, finds her
self in all parts Of the world face to
face with the necessity of maintaining
her jurisdiction and of extending it in
order to maintain it. When she does so,
she finds herself only extending law and
order for the benefit of everybody. 1t
IS only in circumstances like hers that
he burdens have any compensation. -

A Spoiled Race.

Perhaps the most curious incident,
says a correspondent, ever witnessed at
Ascot was during one Royal Hunt Cup
race. Every one knows how pretty the
distant scene is as the long row Of bright
colored jackets comes. streaming over
the hill. The horses kept their level
formation until. neatly home, when sud-
denly thunderbolt, not from the blue,
descended on them. A mounted police
man occupied a position just in the
course, and when the battling steeds
were nearly opposite him he suddenly
charged them. He and his horse dashed
into their very midst, scattering them
to right and left, and spreading con-
sternatiop all around. Never was there
such scenel All the likely winners
were included in the catastrophe, and
the actual winners turned up in soma
outsider that escaped unscathed from
the general melee. The unhappy police
man was immediately taken into GUS,
tody, but the investigation showed that
he was blameless. 1t was his horaa that
did it. Perhaps the animal had ALI along
cherished the notion in his breast that it
had fine turn for speed and thought
that the psychological moment had ar
rived to prove it. But nobody had back
ed it, so that if it had won nobody would
have been the richer. Accordingly the
crowd was angry and wanted the poSr
creature turned into cat meat at once.
Such IS the reward OF trying to be what
we are not.

The SDnniah Main.

We write and talk glibly enough of
the Spanish main, but when did tho
phrase first come into use and what was
its exact geographical significance? Tho
prevalent idea, borrowed, we take it,
from the delightful romance of "West-
ward, Ho!" seems to be that the phrase
was i'll common use among the Eliza
bethan sailors to signify that part Of
the great American continent on which
tho Spaniards had effected settlement
when we first broke into tho Caribbean
sca-that ID to say, from Vera Cruz, in
the gulf of Mexico. to the delta of tho
Orinoco. But we cannot find that the
phrase was i'll use at that time. In tho
pages Of Hakluyt we read of the main,
Of the firm land, which is, of course.
o literal translation Of the Spanish term
"tierra firma," of the mainland coast,
of the coast of the Indies or of tho
West Indies, but of the Spanish main
we have nowhere read.
Nor have we'boen able to find it i'll
the writer's Of the next century. Dam
pier does not use it, nor Lionel Wafer,
nor the translator of ExQuemelin's "Do
Americaenschc Zee-Roovers. 1t isl not
to DO found i'll Morgan's official reports
Of his buccaneering exploits. nor in
Ringrose's narrative, nor in Sharp's. III
the map engraved for Dampier "Voy-
ages (1729), the term firm LAID is en-
ployed to designate the territory now
occupied by the republics of Venezuela
and Colombia. The original terra firma
of the Spaniards, according to Ulloa,
included only the provinces of Vcragua,
Panama and Daricn, with the City of
Panama for its capital.
We may be in error, and certainly we
do not profess that our researches have
been exhaustive, but the earliest use we
have found of the term the Spanish
main Is in "The Journal of Admiral
James, lately published by the Navy
Records society, where, on Nov ~,
1879, the admiral notes that he "bore
away for Truxillo on tho Spanish
main, )" TruXilio being the port Of Hon

Anecdotes of Bulow.

Social rank did not count in Bulow's
estimate of values. He broke up an au-
dience of titled personages assembled to
enjoy one of his rehearsals by causing
the bassoon players to perform their
parts alone until the listeners all left
in disgust. "Now," said he cheerfully
when the last of his noble hearers had
departed, "we'll go to work. " He kick

the stage because it degraded the artist
into an advertisement. In the presence
of an enthusiastic audience he once no
ticed two laurel wreaths on the piano.
He picked them up, looked at them
and then kicked them under the instru-
ment. He did this because he resented
the idea that musicians should be treat
ed differently from other men. He
wished music to be manly calling.

'Prslntes MT Repnrtee.

There was an amusing episode at the
commencement exercises Of the George
town university. Archbishop Ryan of
Philadelphia delivered an eloquent adj
dress on "Cigil and Religious Liberty"
AT its conclusion Cardinal Gibbons was
asked to say few words The cardinal
expressed the pleasure with which no
had listened TO the archbishop aud then
recalled the famous will OF Stephen Gil
rard, the Philadelphia philanthropist,
who, in bequcathing the money for the
Girard institute, stipulated expressly
that no religious instruction should DO

then passed on to Daniel Webster's
great speech on that will and added
that never since that speech had he
heard the subject treated in SO mastery
manner as it had been handled today
by the distinguished archbishop of Phil
adelphia. Indeed it was striking CO.
incidence that not only did the two
speakers agree on many thoughts, but
that in many instances the reverend
speaker today had made eloquent use of
identical language of his great prede-
cessor.

looked at Archbishop Ryan. The latter
arose when Cardinal Gibbons had con-

The Ants Talked About It.

along with their work, judging by the
leisurely way in which they logged

frequently put their heads together as

1t being question in the naturalist
mind whether they were really talking
