Cubs, Mexico and the United states

Cuba, Mexico and the United States.
The Review Of Reviews, while pu...
suing a general line of soberness and
conservatism, occasionally breaks out,
as it were, perhaps just to relieve itself
from the ptosanre Of sitting down upon
itself constantly. In these times Of
breaking ont it advances positive and
sometimes bold ideas of its own.
We find some of these eruptive propo-
sitions in its paragraphs on the Cuban
situation, Central America, che Nicara-
qua canal and Mexico. Itconnects these
all together in one scheme bold and in
genious, though beforehand the reader
cannot guess how the thing is done. It
is like this: ~.
Let the United States gently use it's
good offices for the freeing of Cuba and
its annexation not to ourselves, but to
Mexico In return the United States
gets first class naval and coalinp sta
ton on the island. Next let us use our
good offices to get the Central American
states annexed to Mexico likewise.
They are all Spanish, Indian and negro
together. We should meantime enter
into a close commercial and defensive
union with Mexico.
Let the United States get by actual
purchase the sole ownership of a strip of
land on the isthmus and at once construct
through it the Nicaragua canal, thus
getting in ahead of any of the European
nations with this waterway. We must
also obtain advantageous coaling sta
tions and ports at various points in the
West Indies and on the Pacific side of
the isthmus. Mexico would back us in
these schemes because we use our influ-
ence to do SO much for Mexico. Then,
with Hawaii off in the south Pacific
annexed to us, we rest at our ease and
fear naught from the aggressive and
sometimes sneaking powers of Europe.

Japan has probably some just claim
against Hawaii or she would not con-
tinue to talk so much concerning it.
Japan has always been the friend of
this country and any disturbance of the
mutual kindly feeling between the two
nations would be calamity. The Unit
ed States should quietly investigate the
claim of Japan, meantime keeping all
report of it out of the newspapers, SO
those journals that get fat on distorting
news may not hear of the matter. Then
the United States should induce the Ha-
waiian government to satisfy so much
of -Japan's demand as is plainly just.
The United States has morally pro-
tectorate over Hawaii, even though an
official one has never been proclaimed.

The country merchants who feel en-
croachments of the supply houses
would do well to study their methods
says the Summit Signal. The city
supply houses reach out after trade;
they advertise heavily and put their
wares and prices before everybody,
making it appear that they are selling
the cheapest. If the country mer-
chant would get the business he
should have, he must reach for it.
Getting a store full Of goods won't do
it. You may sell to a good share of
the people who visit the store, but
how about the dozens who never step
into your doors, and who you might
sell goods to? Don't be afraid to let
people know you are doing business
and want their trade. The business
men who are doing this throughout
the country today are the ones who
are making money.

and it stuck.
The first battle of the "Bucktails''
was at Dranesville. Colonel Biddle had
dropped out and Colonel Kane handled
the men according to his own idea Of
rifle tactics. With three companies and
battery he advanced and captured a
brick house which was the Confederate
citadel. The "Bucktails'' lay on the
ground and loaded, then arose, aimed
and fired and dropped back to load
again. Kane was shot. The enemy was
repulsed. Kane's idea of diminishing
tactics was brought to the notice of Gen
eral Mcclellan, who gave him four COM
panies of the 'Bucktails' to drill. They
joined Bayard's cavalry brigade in the
Shenandoah valley, while the rest Of
the army went to the peninsula with
the Army of the Potomac. In their first
campaign Kane's mountaineers out
marched and wore down Bayard's cav
airy horses. Once they traveled 90

The demand for Mile Laos county
real estate continues unabated and
each week the local agencies are sue
cessful in locating new settlers on our
highly priced land. This is a good
time to sell as the best testimonial of
the quality of the soil is that which
everyone can see-the crops. A drive
through the farming country does
more to sell land than the most per-
suasive could hope to do with weeks of
talk in the town. No county excels
Mile Laos in the richness of its soil
and very few can equal it,

Here is one of Benz. Franklin's gem.

Here is one of Benz. Franklin's gems
of thought: "There are two ways of
being happy,-we may either diminish
our wants, or augment the means
either will do-the result is the same;
and it is for each man to decide for
himself and do that which happens to
be the easier. If you are idle, or sick,
or poor, however hard it may be to
diminish your wants, it will be harder
to augment your means. If you are
active and prosperous, or young, or in
good health, it may be easier for you
to augment your means than to dimin-
ish your wants. But if you are wise,
you will do both at the same time,
young or old, rich or poor, sick or
we'll; and if you are very wise you do
both in such a way as to augment the
general happiness of society,"" s."
