Rt. Hon. James Bryce in the December
Forum.
The fact is that American institu
tons are quite unSuited to the govern
ment of dependencies. Those inStitu-
tionS are peryaded all through by the
principles of equality and the habits
of self-goyernment. They do not adapt
themselves to countries where the pop
ulation consists of elements utterly un-
equal and dissimilar. as in the case of
Hawaii, nor to cases where the Ameri
can element ought not to be expected
to forego it's right to self government,
but where, nevertheless, the overWhelm-
ing majority of the inhabitants. wheth
er negroes or Asiatics, ought not to be
trusted to govern even themselves,
much less their white neighbors.
Britain has had painful experience of
these difficulties in her own colonies;
yet in her monarchical system and her
colonial service she possesses machin-
cry much more flexible and more adap-
table to these conditions than the far
more consistently democratic system
Of the United States has ever possessed
or seemed capable of constructing. In
other words, the problems which the
United States would have TO solve in
Cuba or in Hawaii. We're either of them
to be annexed. would be, for the United
States. perfectly new and extremely
perpleXing problems He must be
ocratic government. intended to be
worked by educated men of the best
European stock, whose ancestors have
eniCved freedom and been accustomed
to government for centuries, can
without danger TO its new subjects and
injury TO itself. either set up among
an inferior and dissimilar population
it's own democratic institutions or so
far depart from ali its own traditions
as to attempt to govern that popula-
ton and its own citizens abroad by des-
potic methods.
The United States has already a great
and splendid mission in building up be-
tween the oceans a Free happy. and
prosperous nation of 200, 900, 900 of peo-
pie. And one of the noblest parts of
her mission in the world has been to
show to the older peoples and states an
example Of abstention from the quar-
rels and wars and conquests that make
up so large and 50 lamentable a part of
the annals of Europe. Her remote po-
sition and her immense power have de-
liVered her from that burden of mill
tary and naval ornaments which press
es with crushing weight upon the peo-
Piles of Europe 1t would be, for her,
descent from what may be called the
pedestal of wise and pacific detach-
ment on which she now stands. We're
she to yield to that h-hunger which
has been raging among the European
states. and TO initiate the aggressive
methods which some of them have pur-
sued. The policy of creating great ar
maments and of anneXing territories
beyond the sea would be. if a stranger
may venture to say 50. an un-American
policy, and a complete departure from
the neutrality-suspicious. by long expert
ence--of the illustrious founders of the
republic.

HAS STOLEN THE PATENT
Salt Lake Has Now Some Gold
Nugget Chickens.
THE METAL IN THE CROPS
A Good Sized Nugget Found in a
Utah Chicken-Poultry Utilized as
Prospectors-M Lead to
Rich Placer Discoveries.

An imitator of J. \. McConVille has
appeared near Salt Lake. II is gen.
orally known that Mr.. McConville is the
old original breeder Of gold nugget
chickens, and he has a patent on them.
He has sold Colonel Doyle the right for
the KIondyke district and Doyle Will
take a brood of the gold nugget chick
ems to Klondyke in the spring To pick
up nuggets.
1t seems, however. that somebody
down in Utah is starting up an oppo-
sition farm. The Herald of that city
says:
A few days ago the Herald made
mention of the finding of a gold mug
get in the crop of chicken by a man
by the name of Brown. and the news
of the discovery has evidently had a
stimulating effect on the owners of
poultry, as now every time that
chicken is sacrificed on the chopping
block its interior workings are carefully
examined in the hope of finding a clean
up of gold, ready for the retort or the
mint.
1T is an old saying that labor will
have its own reward or words to that
effect, and word was received yesterday
that a resident of Sugar House ward
naQ not made investigations In this
direction in vain. as he is able to show
a piece of quartz three eighths of an
inch long and an eighth of an inch
thick, one-third of which is pure gold
and this he took out of the craw of "A
chicken which graced his table for Sun
days dinner.
THE gentleman in question has been
hauling gravel from two places, and he
is satisfied that he knows where the
auriferous stuff comes from. and he will
not rest until satisfied as to the source
Of the gold
Part of the gravel came from Emil
grafton canyon, and it is believed that
the formation there is not only favor
able to gold, but that extensive placer
deposits Will eventually be found
there. and il is also stated on good
authority that colors can be found all
the way from the canyon as far south
as Draper.
1T is barely more than year ago
since there was considerable excite
ment over the alleged discovery Of gold
and silver placer diggings in Mill
Creek canyon. several miles south Of
Salt Lake, and while Investigations in
that direction were not pushed as they
should have been. the impression pre-
walls that with more thorough exami-
nation and the expenditure of lit

on one Of the PRINCIPAL downtown
streets of Milwaukee awoman was seen
one evening last week roundly chastis-
ing man with an umbrella. After
severely belaboring him about the head
with II for several seconds she went on
her way, not stopping TO enjoy the
cheers of the spectators The subject of
wrath was one of those creatures who
are known as ''mashers.' The story as
told by friend of the woman is that
while she was walking along Broadway,
on her way to the newsboy's art exhi-
bitit, of which she was one of the pa
tronesses, man wearing polished
beaver and otherwise neatly attired, APP
preached her and said: Good even
ms. The man appeared to be about
80 or 40 years of age and was apparent
~ respectable, and the woman thought
he had made a mistake. She walked to
Wisconsin street, and then west. She
discovered that the man was Following
her. He approached her for the second
time and repeated his remark. Here 1t
was light, and she thought he must
have seen his mistake this time.
The man dropped behind and the now
somewhat frightened woman went on
quickly. She hurried over the bridge,
hoping she would now be unmolested.
The man was following, however, and
finally he placed himself directly in
front of her just opposite Gimbel's.
People walking by noticed the occur
renee. For an instant the two stood
facing each other. Then the woman's
little figure stiffened. The hand in
which she was holding an umbrella
was suddenly raised. and as suddenly
descended, the umbrella striking
squarely upon the polished beaver,
which was knocked from the mans
head, and went spinning down the
stairs leading to the barber shop under
meath the Empire hall. An approving
street, and everyone else shouted with
laughter as the .masher, who wholly
surprised, stood amazed, with eyes and
mouth wide open in establishment, re-
ceivins the punishment he justly de-
served.

A Terrible Adventure.
he Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
y young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had a very
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was start
ing, and had only time to jump into
the first compartment, where she drop
ped upon a seat. Not until the train
was in motion did she notice that she
had a single fellow passenger, man,
young, well dressed, but of a somewhat
forbddng aspect.
The young lady unfolded q newspaper
and began 70 read, but as the first sta
tion was passed she CHANGED To glance
again toward the other end of the car
riage. The man was there, but MS
face was no longer serene. He appeared
to be greatly agitated. and was gazing
in the direction of the young lady.
A sudden overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All the wild stories
of railway murders to which she had
ever listened rushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
OF shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused 70 move.
The monster-for SO he seemed to her
looked anXiously about him, appar-
emily to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design. Then
he advanced quite close to his panic
stricken fellow passenger, and put his
right hand in his evercoat pocket Was
he feeling for Ii knife OF revolver.
Springing 10 her feet the frightened
traveller faced him in despair.
What do You mean" she cried, nan
fainting with fear
He bent toward her. smiled grimlN,
and said:
Excuse me, madam. l offer you
10000 apologies if / have alarmed you.
Such a thing was farthest from my
thoughts. but the fact is, l have To
aliSht at the nCXt station, ana since
you entered the train you have been
sitting on MY hat
The roNulsiun 81 feeling on the lady
Part can he better imagined than de-
serihed. Bushes took the place ot
panic, Fortunately the hat was a SOFT
