THE BUSINESS IN EXPANSION.

Much is made of the business areu- They say that trade follows the flag and then they draw glowing pictures of what our trade is going to do when it follows the flag to the Philippines. The business argument is thoroughly dis posed of by ex-Senator Ednunds in his
 letter to ex-Governor Stewart of Yer mont, which has just been made public. MT. Edmunds points out that we get all the products of the islands now that We wish for and on the same terms that
 other nations do. If we take them the cost will be precisely the same, unless we adopt the ancient colonial policy of
 Great Britain and some other nations
 in controlling their trade exclusively, and allow it to be carried on only in our own ships. In that case retaliation will certainly follow, and our ships and goods will be excluded, in like manner, from the colonial possessions of the
 great manufacturing and trading pow CTS, which would leave the balance of disadvantage vastly against us. In a business point of view we must take into consideration the cost of governing
 the islands. This cost cannot, in all hu-
 man probability, be met by the taxation
 of the inhabitants to any considerable
 extent. Nature supplies them with substantially all the food and clothing they require, and they are, of course, indisposed to labor or thrift If we take them we must govern them by external power, and not through any autonomy of their own. This means a large and
 expensive civil list, governors, council l lors administrators, officers of justice, and so forth, and so forth, who must, in
 the main, be paid out of the treasury of l the United States. The climate is, of
 course, very unwhoesome for Ameri- cans, and the death rate of our officers l there would be very large. It will also
 require an American army of defense
 and for the preservation of peace and order, of many thousand men, and an | American navy of six or more ships, and probably two thousand men, all
 exposed, like the civilians, to the con
 stant hostility of the climate, to say nothing of that of the inhabitants of
 most, if not all, of the islands.

 get trade there it no profit in it.

THE WAYS OF PRAIRIE DOGS.

The most interesting thing I have seen in many day" said Harvey Geer, of Lamont, Col, at the Ebbitt few nights ago, was a prairie dog well. Did you ever see one? It isn't often that a chance occurs to explore the homes and haunts of these expeditions little inhabitants of the plains. A few miles from my town a large force of men has been at work this summer making a deep cut for short railroad up into the mines A friend of mine is in charge of the job. and I went out week ago to see him and the work that had been done. The first thing that at tracted my attention when I got there was the fact that the cut was being made through an old alfalfa field, and the roots fringed the sides of the cut and hung down fifteen to eighteen feet. Up at the surface of the ground were the stubbed green plants, and reaching down deep into the earth were the fat, business-like roots getting their living far he'ow where ordinary plants for aged for subsistence.
 But the most remarkable thing was the prairie dog wells that had been dug into The cut went through q dog vil- lage, and being a deep lonesome forty feet--it went below the town. There has always been a discussion about where the prairie dog gets his drink Some say he goes eterrally dry and does not know what it is to have an el- eeant thirst on him. Usually their towns are miles from any stream and in an arid country, where there is no sur- face water at any time sufficient for the needs of an animal requiring drink. The overland travellers back in the days of pioneering used to find the dog towns out on the prairies scores of miles from the streams. There was no dew, the air was dry as bone, the buff falo grass would be rarched brown, and there would be absolutely nothing to duench thirst I remember a discus sion began thirty years ago in the American Naturalist by Dr. Stern berg, now surgeon general, on the sub ject, and he argued in favor of the we'll theory. But there, near Lamont, is oc- ular proof of the well theory. The nest holes of the dogs were five or six feet deep. but four or five holes went straight down as deep as the excava- tion had been made, and evidently on into the water-carrying sand beneath. These holes appeared to be used by the whole colony commonly, and were a little larger than the holes used for their mes."-Washingto Star.
