years ago, a large trade with the
South American Republics, OF with
China. they would have followed
the example OF the English, and
taken care to secure strategic
points, and canals, and coaling sta
tions. Every town IN England has
dealings with some foreign coun-
try. Aside from the seaboard, I'M
I'll lately. thousands of American
towns have never sold an article in
the foreign markets. Naturally,
they take no interest in such an
affair a. a canal, which brings
them 10 trade. Representatives
in Congress are affected by the IN
difference Of their constituents on
the subject. Moreover, there Is
some suspicion in their minds, that
if the Nicaragua Canal is con
structed, the British and Germans
will get more out Of it than the
Americans, who may only fiddle
to a British and German trade
dance. Only recently the Ameri
cans began to see that a country
becomes rich by getting hold of
the money of other countries, and
not by simply an internal trade.
They will soon be alive to the
great need Of getting footholds
in one way or the other,
and then Will be a disposition TO
annex anything that is left. The
foreign policy of the country is
coming down out of the air, and
settling on the ground.

Mr.. Cecil Rhodes will not
Z" down " at the demand Of those
who dislike his methods. The An
glo-Saxon race likes pluck and
energy, especially if it opens up
new ways for getting wealth, and
wickedness is rather regarded as
only a wart on the nose of the
daring man who leads the way.
JAY Gould said we could always
buy all the appreciation he wanted
from good people by giving $10,-
600 to some charity. The moral
sense of England; which is becom-
ing a strong factor in the foreign
relations of the English, is opposed
to Rhodes. But the majority feel
that they must stand by the wicked
man when he opens up trade.

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY.

\ good many people ask why 1t
is, that the Government OF the
United States does not push with
energy, the construction OF the
Nicaragua Canal. The answer is,
that it has no clear, well defined
foreign policy. Foreign policies"
are the creatures of war for aggran-
dizement only, or of trade The
foreign policy of Great Britain,
outside of her European compli-
cations, is one which has for its
object trade, and profit for English
men. 1t is not policy which looks
to fun, or other trihing objects. 1t
is broad, pushing, and preserving,
and brings the money of the whole
world to London.
The United States has no for
eign policy as yet beyond that OF
the Monroe doctrine, which. so far,
has brought little money to the
Americans, andsecures little trade.
Moreover, the Americans have
been more concerned in building
up home industries, and including
foreign trade than in trading with
other nations, excepting in staple
articles. All the world has bought
It's goods in Europe because there,
the cheapest market was found If
the United States had established

CITY IMPROVEMENT.

The Government now has an
opportunity TO relieve the lower
part OF the city from It's dirty vii
Iage appearance and make one spot
very attractive. The new land,
made by the dredger, near the fish
market should be laid off In such a
way that there will be small plaza
In the center, In which some trop-
ical plants are placed. Around it
buildings should be constructed
which are an attraction architect
uralIy. These should be built only
after the most careful consider
alton, and be planned by cOmpe-
tent architects. As the plaza will
front the new steamer landings,
1T Will present a most attractive APP
pearance TO passengers on landing.
1t NAV be a feature of the town,
Nor would it largely interfere with
the business demands of the city.
Breathing spots in the business
centers should be looked out for in
the development of Honolulu.
There is plenty of land here and
we have enough mistakes in the
way of narrow and crooked streets,
10 look back upon without going
ahead on the old idea that Homo
lulu is likely to always be small
town and it makes little difference
whether the business houses are
damned together like stumps in
the field or laid out with some idea
to the architectural fitness of mod
ern progress adapted to the tropics.
In former years Honolulu sim
ply "growed' like Topsy and early
Boston. There was little thought
for the future, COW paths and trails
became streets, good enough for
the time being but at the present
time narrow and inconvenient.
Now that the place has ''grOwed'
to the extent that people realize,
it IS about 10 rise above the happy
go-luckv slang manner of develop
ment, the time has come when
great deal of attention should be
given to proper growth. The
place needs more application of the
extensive plans of the Western
town builder, without, of course,
touching the boomers methods.
The grasping, intense business
mind which sees beauty in a crowd
ed mass Of storehouses, etc. and
wants to see every foot of land pay
ING direct interest on investment,
should not be allowed to complete
lv sway the powers that direct the
uses to which public lands are put
to. Such a course means simply
that future generations will be call
ed upon 10 weep over the short
sightedness of their forefathers.

That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt.
A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other ex-
tracts is:
/. That it contains almost Is
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
3. 1t is not an eXcitant slim

rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine a
trial.
People of every walk of life,
from the .laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach OF all.
Single Bottles, 80 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.

A Fable Up to Date.

A fierce cat once assailed a large
mastiff and used most abusive language
toward the canine. The dog listened
for time and then walked away.
"Why did you tamely submit to such
abuse?" inquired friend "You could
have eaten that cat without any trou-
BILE. +"
"Well, p'raps l could" answered
the dog. IF you think SO, l am sure of
it. But what was the use? 1t would not
have added to my honor one bit, as
every one would expect that l would
whip the cat Then | might have been
whipped, you know. Chance blows on
the solar plexus will work wonders.
And would have been eternally dis
graced had that cat conquered me. -

mons will let Corbett alone. New

Mr.. BRyAN'S OPINION ON WOOL,

That Mr.. Bryan has so many ardent ad
mirers in New Mexico, is thing difficult
to understand. Wool is one of the staplt
products of the territory, and since the
passage of the Dingley tariff bill tina,
article has advanced nearly 100 per cent
Mr.. Bryan is free trader of the most
pronounced type, and in discussing the
mongrel piece of legislation called the
Wilson bill, before the last Democratic
congress, he said:
"Wool, for instance, is the chief raw
material in the wooden industry, and has
been placed upon the free list. Whether
the tariff on wool mckinley bin has
raised the price of wool to the sheep
grower above the point it would have
reached without tariff is question
which has been discussed rather than
settled. Speaking for myself, it is i'm
material, in my Judgment, whether the
sheep grower receives any benefit from
the tariff or not"
That was certainly frank admission
on the part OF Mr.. Bryan that he did not
care continental whether the woolmep
went to the poor house or not. all tn.
same he lie very anxious that these same
woolmen should help him into the White
house, and when defeated in the FIRST eff
fort runs around the country begging
them not TO give up the fight. Whose
ightf Mr.. Bryan's, Of course. II is i'm.
material to him what becomes of the
they have voted for him. !
