weeks its strengthening effect had
been anticipated and business had
begun to improve upon anticipation.
And though the change comes rather
! te to exert its full influence this
year, says the Detroit Journal, yet
plans will be laid and business pre-
pared for the next year upon the
basis of the new law with degree
of certainty and greater hopeful
ness.
Upon the money question the presi-
dent and his party stand upon their
pledges. We have maintained the
existing gold standard while doing
everything within our power to
promote international bimetallism.
Changes are going on in the world
and in public thought which may
render an agreement less necessary
and valuable than was thought some
years since, but the prospect for the
international conference is good.
To sum up in a word: The Re
publican party still stands for the
great conservative and progressive
forces of the age. The destructive
forces are attempting TO unite in the
camp.

OVER 100000
To BE Spent In Improving Chan
nels Near the 500.

Sault Ste. Marie, Aug. 2.-The
government work of improving the
st. Mary's river channel will con-
tinue, plans having been approved
This means the spending of $500, 600,
as it involves the excavation of 600,-
900 square yards of earth and rock,
The channel through the Round Is
land shoals, above the 500, is to be
widened to 800 feet, from 300 The
approach to the west end of the
canal, now 600 feet, will be made
ZOO. At the dixie, through the
middle Neebish, the channel will be
widened from 300 to 500 and the
depth Of water, now Is, will be in
creased to q feet. The points at
which the work is to be done are the
most dangerous places to navigate
on the river.

FIFTEEN TOWNS BURIED.
Loss of Life May Reach Into the
Thousands.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 4.-The vol
cano Of Mayor, on the Island of Luz
on. one of the Philippine group, is
still belching forth lava and flame.
Since June 26 not less than 500 per-
sons have been killed, according to
Hong Kong advices up to July 9Th.
1t was probable, said the dispatch.
that the loss of life would reach into
the thousands, depending on the
length of eruption. On that date
lava streams and ashes had reached
the cities of Bacacay, Malipot and
LIBBY, and their destruction was
certain. Fifteen smaller towns be-
tween these and the volcano had
been destroyed and scores of the
population had been
overwhelmed while attempting to
escape.

FIVE MONTHS OF REPCBLI-
CAN RULE.

The administration of President
Mckinley has now been in power for
almost five months. 1t has had the
opportunity to disclose its policy
and to show its hand upon almost
every great question before the
country. From what it has done
and attempted, we are able to Judge
what its future policy and course
will be.
1t has met the expectations OF the
country, and of the party which is
responsible for its power 1t has
manifested a purpose to fulfill every
pledge upon which it appealed to
the country last November, and we
are able to begin to see the issues
} and policies upon which the next
national election must align them
selves. .....
Upon foreign affairs the policy Of
the administration has been firm, dig
nified, and American. 1t has been
neither weak and pusillanimous upon
the one hand, nor has it run into
jingoism upon the other Those who
desired to see President Mckinley
jump into war with Spain over
Cuba, have been disappointed. But
the tone of this government towards
all nations, big or little, has indi-
Gated that we shall claim no more
than our rights and concede nothing
else.
The country has reason TO feel
that its foreign affairs are in safe
and strong hands.
AS was expected, the revision of
the revenue laws was the first great
care Of the president. Without de-
lay or rest or shadow of turning,
this has been done. 1t has been ac-
complished upon the lines laid down
in the inaugural, of law to meet
the just and reasonable expenditures
of the government, and at the same
time to afford fair and adequate pro-
lection to American industries.
Nothing but omniscience can con-
.struct an absolutely exact and
equitable revenue law; but it can be
fairly said that whatever human
wisdom, experience and acumen can
do has been done in the bill signed
by the president on the oath of July.
Already the country begins to feel
its revivifying influence. For
