the government has never got any money
out Of the territory for what 1t has put
into It. IL Is the same with all colonies.
But this is a minor reason for my POSI-
tion against Imperialism, a seemingly sordid
one, withal an important economic one.
Today we have an army of 10000 volunteers
In the Philippines at, say $500 year, which
means $4,000, 600, yet the trade of the Phil
ippine islands. exports and imports, amounts
to only $4,000 900 annually. All we have
is one corner Of the island OF Luzon, which
Is about one-half the size OF Nebraska, and
100000 men cooped up in Manila, which is
about the population OF Omaha squeezed
into one-fourth the space of Omaha, to hold
the island.
Moral ms Well rs Political.
"There is a very good reason that is
moral as well as being intensely political
from the point Of view of the American
ideal. The great majority OF the Filplnos
have never yet heard of Spain, much less
of the United States. This is especially
true of the Malay pirates Of the southern
islands and the black imps of the unex-
plored Interior, as capable Of self-govern-
ment or of any other government as so
many monkeys. 1t would not be an easy
and humane task to bring these folk to the
tlonists placidly claim is the final doom OF
negritos, Kanakas, Malays and all inferior
races who get in anybodys way. According
to John Morley this is England's experience
in bringing peace to suffering humanity in
the tropics:
" First, you push on into territories where
you have no business to be and where you
have promised not to go; second, your in
trusion provokes resentment and in these
wild countries resentment means resistance;
third you instantly cry out that the people
arc rebellous and that their act is rebel
lion (this In spite of your own assurance
that you have no intention Of setting up a
permanent sovereignty over them); fourth,
you send a force to stamp out the rebellion;
and fifth, having spread bloodshed, con-
fusion and anarchy, you declare, with hands
uplifted to the heavens, that moral reasons
force you to stay, for II you were to leave
this territory would be left in a condition
which no civilized power could contemplate
with equanimity or with composure. These
are the five stages in the Forward Rake's
progress
at was OF England in Chitral that Morley
said this, not of America in Luzon."

Gar is a Sensible Man.

81 think the cZar is a sensible man and
Is quite In earnest. The large nations Of
Europe would not go into war because dy-
expenses OF armament have been SO great
that the smaller nations are being forced
into bankruptcy. I've been among the farm
ers OF Italy and found them living wholly
upon cornmeal mush because of the taxes
for the state and church. one farm in the
northern part OF Italy has brick house
full OF holes caused by cannon balls and
the proprietor is too poor to meni them.
In the province of Novara saw where they
had gathered up h imam bones and piled
up a monument twenty feet high OF them.

will appreciate why Italy is so poor"

well, as you already know am posi-
lively opposed to American expansion and
imperialism. Look at the colonies we al
ready possess. In Alaska there is practically
no government at all. There are laws-the
laws OF Oregon apply to Alaska-but what
is needed is a commission to enforce them.
Cities there are so far apart that they do
not know what is going on In one another.
On the Klondike they have miners law,
which is almost lynch law, The United
States has treated Alaska rather shabblly,
principally because no one particularly cared.
Good government is expensive. You notice

Orchards will in time exhaust, at

and this exhaustion is especially no.
ticeable on soils which were not es-
pecially rich at the time the trees
were planted. To make young trees
grow more rapidly, fertilizer should
be used containing q small per cent,

potash and phosphates. For older Or
chsrds the nitrogen Is not so neces-
sary, while phosphates and potash
should be increased, especially the
quantity of potash. 1t Is frequently

clover In late summer, and turning IL
under in the spring. .,....7 r. ....

Cleaning Poultry Yards.

Many of the diseases that attack
poultry come wholly from filthy yards
and houses, and more than one en-
thusiast has lost heart when his fowls
have one by one succumbed to dis
eases that seemed to him more or less
mysterious. IF one is not sure of the
purity of the ground over which the
poultry yard is to be built, or if il has
previously been occupied with poul-
try, it is best to be on the safe side
and use disinfectants literally. Dis
solved copperas or lime literally
sprinkled over the grounds will de-
stroy all germs and will make them
ft for poultry of all kinds, young or
old. In the honses, the floors, walls,
roosts and nests should be thoroughly
cleansed with the lime, being sure to
reach all the cracks and crevices. 1t
is cheap, easily applied and effective.

An Ideal Sheep Food.

AS the sheep raising industry has
been revived and bids fair to again
become profitable, the question of a
food that is quite suited to the needs
of the sheep and that may be grown
inexpensively becomes of paramount
importance. Rape has been found to
suit sheep more perfectly than any
other pasture. 1t may be sown in
May and will make good pasture by
August. The best results in feeding
are obtained by having a grass pas
ture in which the sheep may alternate
their feeding with the rape; this will
keep them in the best possible condi-
ton.
Unless the rape field can be pro-
tected by movable fence so that the
sheep may have fresh piece every
few days on which to pasture, the
seed should be sown in drills, and the
sheep can then do no harm by tramp
ing when turned into the fields. For
sowing in drills five pounds of seed
are required to the acre, and ten
pounds to the acre if sown broadcast

Sam Jones on Kentucky.

Kentucky has her whisky and her
fast horses, her bar-rooms and her
race tracks, but she has with them as
fine citizenship as there is in the
Union. The truest Prohibitionists,
the most faithful temperance men and
the most thorough anti-horse racing
people 1 ever met, and 1 have been
all over this country, lived in Ken
lucky.
More than one of the counties in
Kentucky have local option. Whisky
making and whisky drinking in Ken
lucky are on lower level today than
they were ever before in the history OF
the State. It is true that deacons,
elders, stewards and other officers OF
the church in Kentucky favor whisky
and attend race tracks, but they are
not near as big dogs as they were in
years gone by. But that state oil
affairs is true everywhere. The world
has quit asking men If they are mem
bers of the church, but the world does
ask them, with vengeance, "Are
you good citizens?" "Are you good
fathers to your children ?" care you
good husbands to your wives?" ado
you pay your debts and live rightE"
If he does, the world tips its hat to
the man; If he does not, they boot
him. And they do right to boot him,
in the church or out of 1t.

In the South.

We clip the following from the Co
lumbia County Citizen, published at
Lake City. Florida, by Chas. O'Con-
nell, Mt. Sterling boy, who has re-
Gently leased the paper:
"Dr, Edward o. Guerrant. evangel-
ist of Kentucky, arrived in the city
Wednesday, and preached his first
sermon here al the Presbyterian
church the same evening. Services
will continue morning and evening
until further notice.
ITO the average Floridian, DR..
Guerrant needs no introduction, for
in nearly every portion of this fair
land of ours he is known and loved
and his worth appreciated. He is a
gentleman of scholarly attainments,
a deep thinker, and a pleasing, forci-
BILE speaker.
HE was a soldier who wore the
Gray with honor and distinction, and
rode with the intrepid Gen. John
Morgan, the great Confederate caval-
ryman.

Guerrant is to argue yourself I'M

cities to the inaccessible mountain
hamlet he is known and, as here,
loved, and has done more than any
one man to spread the gospel of
Christ in the mountain section of that

one whom we have known all our
life, and it is a pleasure to meet him
here and talk over old days in "Old

themselves OF this opportunity and

Teller Resolution Defeated.

The Cincinnati Enquirer in refer
ring to the defeat of this resolution in
the House last week says:
"The Republican party managers,
most conspicuous among whom is
Speaker Reed, did not, however, act
with an eye to the future. They had
the votes and the parliamentary ty-
ranny to prevent the resolution from
becoming the expression of Congress
but they only gave emphasis TO the
probability of their defeat at the next
election. They tolled the bell for
Reed and the Republican gold ma
joritY little more rapidly than was
proper at funeral. They merely
made it easier for the silver men to
carry the elections for Congress in
November next. They only inflamed
the people afresh. They gave to the
Democracy that highly valuable aid
in political campaign, the earnest
expectation of success
"There has been tighter drawing
of the lines on the silver question.
The people have better knowledge
now as to where public men stand.
"The adoption of the resolution by
the Senate was strong point tor BIZ
metallism. The uncertain were COM
PEELED to take position. Gold men
who had made talse professions of
being for both money metals were
"smoked out" 1t was known from
the first, of course, that the resolution
would be defeated in the House; but
the brutality with which the work
was done was another point for BIZ
metsllism.
"There will be no legislation on
money by the present Congress, The
question will be submitted to the peo-
pie again in November with the lines
drawn more intslligently than they
have ever been.

To What are We Comma?

Ministers in Jeffersonville, Ind, and
the health authorities of that city
have received from the State Board
of Health circular setting forth the
danger of contracting diseases by the
promiscuous use of the communion
cup, and suggesting that individual
cups be used instead.
DIR. Charles Forbes, of the Marine
Hospital service, is cited az having
conducted an examination of the
dregs from communion cups and in a
majority of cases bacteria and spores
were found. The Board of Health
says it is high time that steps were
being taken. Not alone is it recon-
mended that individual cups be used
by church congregations, but also in
schools, and especially are travellers
urged to use an individual drinking
vessel.
"Moses, that prince of health Off
GERS says that the circular "would
probably not have sanctioned the
communion cup."-Courier- Journal.

red to are easily frightened. Although
some improvement along this line
could be effected, yet we are disposed
to think they are going to great ex-

Burn Diseased Plants.

II is common practice in rural
communities to throw on the manure
heap all refuse of any nature. Scab-
by potatoes, rotted sweet potatoes,
smutty onions, insect-covered twigs of
trees and even the offal from animals
known to be badly diseased--all
these things so on the heap, and the
practice in many cases has been the
means of distributing disease
drought section that might have
been avoided had the trouble been
taken to burn the diseased vegetables,
plant or flesh. Farmers spend more
of their time fighting diseases and in
scots than they can afford, and more
than is necessary II they would take q

Severe on Senator Hanna.

son, Ohio, the recent Democratic can
didate forGovernor of Ohio in an in.
terview at Cincinnati last week in
speaking of the political situation at
present and past events Mr.. Chapm an
said:
Everybody knows that Hanna and
his henchmen are guilty of the chsrg-
es of bribery and corruption brought
against them, but suppose they will
whitewash the chief sinner and let
him go at that. The American peo-
pie understand it all, and why those
closest to the bulldozing boss are ST.
lent, and Mark Hanna will go down
in history with the mark of Cain on
him. As soon as the Federal patron
age is dispensed even the sychophants
who are expecting public pap will
feel q contempt for the creature they
are compelled to bow down to now,
and he will sink into insignificance
and obscurity, where he belongs. HIS
influence in the affairs of the nation,
outside of dealing out appointments,
will be nil. would infinitely rather
be private citizen as 1 am than to
have Hanna's seat in the United Stat
es Senate, bought and stolen from the
people as It is. And 1 much prefer
my place in private life to that of
Governor Bushnell in his snarl, and
beset with the vilest abuse from his
own party. Yes, the Democrats will
carry Ohio next November, and we
will have good majority in the next
National House of Representatives be-
yond doubt. The defeat of the Tel
Ter resolution in the House is just to
our hand, and many Republican
member who voted against it will
never warm his seat in Congress
again. clearly see Democratic VIC
tory in 1900, but we must in Ohio
and elsewhere this year put up good
men for office, such as the people will
respect and rally around. 1 shall
take part in the campaign to the best
of my ability.
