 Neglect and wrong living will show them selves first in the most delicate organs of the whole body. With such weakness and sickuess so prevalent, it is to be expected that the bearing of children would be fraught with dread and danger. It should not be SO, of course. Nature never meant it to be so. The performance of the high est function of which a woman is capable should not be accompanied by pain. If perfectly natural living were the rule, 1t would not be so.

ably hostile attitude OF the British
ambassador at Constantinople.
Sir Ellis went on to speak of the
reforms inaugurated by the Sultan
and predicted speedy improve

only Turkey is given breathing time
and tranquility is maintained. He
added further that it was the aim Of
Russia to prevent all serious reforms

OF GRAVE IMPoRT.

The INDEPENDENT, while agreeing
in the Main with the following ex-
pressions of views contained in the
Bennington Reform, would remind
that journal that nominally wo have
plenty OF Church, Missionaries,
parsons and teachers to give us a
preponderance OF Christian souls
in these Islands, although our un-
published census returns might em-
brace among the christians an un-
due proponderouce Of Mormous, re-
gistered principally by way of a
protesting joke at what was deemed
governmental inquisitiveness.
The proposed annexation OF the
Sandwich Islands to the United
States is matter of grave import.
There is a strong probability that
annexation will he consummated,
since annexation is declared by
President Mckinley to be "a part Of
the grounded policy OF the govern
ment"-mesning possibly McKin-
ley's government-and he is expect
cd to use the power Of his Office to
accomplish tae end he seeks. There
is reason to believe that the United
States has already reached the safe
limit of expansion and that further
extension of territory will add to
the dangers surrounding our form
OF government. The thinking mind
has long since realized that in a
country of broad expanse Of terri
tory interests become so antagon-
istic that central government can
with increasing difficulty legislate
equitably for the whole of it. The
tariff discussion has raised many
questions of expeGency, and its
settlement in the form Of bill that
will lay agreeably upon the diverse
interests of the east and west, north
and south, has become a task calling
for the display OF the highest pa
triotism. The east, being manu-
featuring section, demands free
wool, while the west, being an agri-
cultural section, demands duty on
wool. So it is with hides, and, in an
inverse way, with lumber. The
incest sort Of compromise on hun
drsds of questions of every sort is
needful to maintain cohesion of
divergent interests. There was a
great civil war waged in this coun-
try over subject Of not greater i'm
port than some others that confront
US. The money question is one of
them. The interests OF the creditor
and debtor classes clash ominously.
All things considered, we surely
have territory enough, but if there
is a possibility that additional OBJ
legations can safely be taken on, let
us cast our lures toward Cuba or
possibly Canada, but not toward ISL
ands in the sea two thousand miles
remote from our shores-isIands
volcanic rather than organic, and
peopled with heather rather than
Christian souls.

The Chronicle and tho annexa-
tionists are continually sending forth
dark inuendos OF the disturbance Of
the peace in Hawaii by the "Hawai-
ian royalists." They may, however,
rely upon it that the Hawaiians will
never again be led or entrapped
into any such folly. They can and
will win their fight by legitimate
means through diplomatic meas
ures and not by the arbitratement
OF war. In the event of any riotous
disturbance they will be found
fighting on the side of the Govern
ment, oligarchical though it may be.
