Remember the Icehouse.

An icehouse should be upon every
farm, and it should not be given over to
the chickens after a few years either.
What is greater luxury in hot weather
than ice cream and other frozen dainties
made possible by its use? We just
couldn't do without it for this reason if
no other. Then, no che can make good
butter in bet weather without some
cooling agent, and VIC should all put it
in store for this use if fer no other. The
women folks Go not have any too many
conveniences to work with, and this is
one which every farmer ought to pro-
vide.

It has been said that the changes MADE
by the Senate Finance Committee In the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill are such
that no one but an expert can understand
them. That view would appear to be
borne out by a disgruntled member OF
the House Committee on Ways ana
Means, who is quoted as saying that he
believed that the efforts of the Senate
Committee had been devoted chiefly 10
arranging a sugar schedule that woui~
be satisfactory to the trust, ana yet
which would not show too clearly the
purposes Of its trainers. He had no hesi-
tation in pronouncing the schedule
trust schedule
And now the question arises, Are there
any senators In the trust? 1t VIII De
remembered that on one previous occa-
sion, at least, 1t was charged that the
sugar schedule in the tariff bill gave
some of the senator's fine opportunity
to turn an honest penny" and that
they did not ignore the opportunity.

fear to have a power like the United
States established on the island.
Yet these historic facts DO not I'm them
selves throw doubt on the opinion at-
tributed TO Mr.. Smythe. that san Domingo
stands ready TO accommodate US now.
Annexation, itself once welcomed by mas
republic, is quite different from the ccs-
sion OF a harbor; and as TO the alleged
agreement with Haiti, IL is said that san
Domingo considers il no longer binding.
Undoubtedly IL would not be a serious
obstacle TO the cession Of a coaling sta
ton TO the United States
The question then arises whether ws
desire such a cession. AS the story runs,
San Domingo will give us either SANTANA
bay or one of two other sites. Samana
bay is valuable for its extent. It's shell
tered anchorage. and its strategic posi-
ton Mole St Nicolas was desirable Tor
its situation on the %Vindward Passage
at the west end of the island. while Sac
mana bay at the northeast corner. opens
into the Mona Pass. an important en-
trance 10 the Caribbean Sea for vessels
from Europe. and the route traversed also
by merchantmen passing 10 South Amer
ca between San Domingo and Porto
Rico. At the western end IL receives the
chief river If San Domingo, the YUM
while the bay Is big enough TO hold tho
war-neets of the world.
The point on 1t we should select for q
station would undoubtedly be Santa Bar
bara, on the north shore OF the bay.
Inefe the entrance IL narrow, IN tONrr-
quence Of a chan or reefs and is.cts
parallel with the shore; but the harhor
inside can accommodate large battleships.
Ii is surrounded with heights on which
batteries would have a plunging fire. and.
besides. works at Point Seballo fortifca-
tons would also be placed, probably, on
Carenno Island. just OF the harbor. Yet
the true line OF defence would perhaps
be at the entrance of the bay, where the
channel Is narrow, and small islands ale
low works TO be placed. There Is a rail-
road, we believe running west from Santa
Barbara, and the trade-winds blowing
into the mouth of the bay give greater
healthfulncsS 10 the site.
But. while the advantage OF a coaling
station in the Gulf, in view OF its grow
ing commercial and strategic imDortancc.
is not a matter OF doubt. the choice OF
one must be a subject o. careful study.
There is now pending in The Senate AN
inquiry into the possibility OF acquiring
st. Thomas, and who shall say, too what
bearings the ultimate settlement OF the
fate OF Cuba may not have upon this
point?

(SrOOklyn SldDudIu Hioh'f
To-day Governor Black signed the So
called Greater New York bill. That he
would sign ii has been as certain since
it passed the Legislature as could De
any event still in the future, and yet
the wipng out of the city of Brooklyn
finally and forever from the map OF
America will come with something OF
shock to many old Brooklynites. 1t was
a glorious city, a municipality of which
any country might be proud, builded on
hills and in valleys that were historic
before the birth of the republic ITSELF
Second in point of population to but
three other cities in the Union, IL was
the first to solve successfully the great
question of government in vast urban
communities under manhood suffrage
where the direct taxes for the support
of government are contributed by an
insignificant minority of the people,
Frederick A. Schroeder, greatest OF all
American municipal reformers, framed,
with the aid of William G. Dewitt, the
chief author of the Greater New York
charter, and passed. the charter estaD-
fishing absolute governmental RESPONSE
bility, under which Seth Low served ms
first term as Mayor of brooklyn. III,
in this city, since the passage or that
charter there has been bad government,
the voters themselves are to blame. 1t
placed in their hands the power at any
election for Mayor to make whole
sale transfer of the government from
one party to another.
So. while there is naturally enough a
note of tender regret in the good-by OF
old Brooklyntes TO the city of their love,
there is at the same time proud con-
sciousness that our entering on equal
terms the new and greater municipality
created by the bill Governor Black
signed to-day. makes 1t the second city
in the world. with near prospect OF
ranking first among the cities on the
globe

A presence mystical she made,

At which, methought, the rafters SHOOK.

And moved my heart to break the spell
