With a sword in one hand and the
healing arts of civilization in the other,
the United States is moving upon some
important islands Of the sea. The
American tract society has more than
four hundred publications in the Span
ish language, and is preparing to put
two of them, a primer and New Tes-
lament, in the hands Of every Philip
pine, Cuban or Porto Rico family as
soon as the war is over.

Two paramount principles should
guide the nation in making terms OF
peace. The one is that magnanimity
which the great victor should show
toward the vanquished, so that it shall
not even seem in the end to be a war
for oppression or for selfish, sordid
gain. The other is that the high OBJ
jects for which the war was begun
shall be secure1, so that our dead
heroes" shall not have died in vain.
Under such guidance, and such alone,
shall peace with honor be restored.

Saint Paul laid down some laws
against women which were well
enough in his day, but should the
church of his day rule the church of
this period? Let us think a little in
behalf Of ourselves with regard to
church, war. politics and international
complications. Noah built his ark
against precedent and popular judg-
ment, and if he hadn't marked out that
course for himself he would have join

There was a proposition to argue a
young lady out of a school in Boise
Idaho. The result Of it is succinctly
stated in this dispatch from that town:
"It is believed that two Of the men shot
last night by Miss Birdie Sanders will
die. The third man escaped by run
ming away and Is thought to be unin-
jured. Miss Sanders lately has been
teaching the White Cross school, and
the three men, who opposed her re-
tention as teacher, called and tried to
scare her into leaving the county"
While politics is not necessarily wrong,
even in school matters, 1t must be in
sisted that there must be nothing Of
that kind which initiates against the
chivalry Of this enlightened period. it
is barely possible. however, that this
lady knows how to take care of her
self. no matter what the nature Of the
argument which may be presented

would be mustered out of service.
After each man had made away with
big cup Of milk and a sandwich they
were marched to the detention camp
where large tents with floors were all
in readiness. This camp is an ideal
place, a strong, invigorating breeze is
constantly blowing, the ground is high

GEMS OF THE SEA.
The beautiful Butterfly Fish Are as
Gaudy as the Insect for Which
They Are Named.

Of all the beautiful marine creatures
that occasionally wander along the gulf
stream to strand on northern beaches
the butterfly fishes are the most gor-
geous. They are tiny fellows, under ~
inches long, but radiant and glowing as
gems. That is what they are-futters
ing ocean jewels. They have deep
bodies, remarkably short tails and
long, beautifuily-veiDed dorsal and anal
fins, says the New York Press. -
= The general body color is a pearly
gray. notably delicate and iridescent.
A g%listening jet-black band runs around
the head, through the eyes, and termi-
mates at the lower margins Of the gill
openings. Above the eyes this band is
bordered on each side by a narrow pale
streak that looks luminous by contrast.
Another dark band, but more delicate
in color than the first, runs around the
body at the middle part of the fish, like
a belt.
Two shining dark blue spots, like the
"eyes" in d peacock's tail, mark the
anterior part Of the dorsal fin ard The
tail. These spots are surrounded by
pure white rims, and the background
is dark velvety brown. The head is
greenish yellow, and the fins are marked
with leetihg tints Of yellow, silver and
brown. They are butterfly fish, in
deed.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-06-28

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June =, '9S.
Hawaiian productions, now that it
seems an almost assured fact that the
islands will be annexed to the United
States, present a subject of interest to
both consumers and producers in this
country. The Observation-Disclosures have
held, as one Of their strongest argu
ments against annexation, that the
American farmers do not want the
islands, and that annexation would
result particularly disastrous to their
infant but promising beet sugar indus
try. The administration claims that
this would not be the case at all; that
under u present reciprocity agree
ment with the islands, sugar is admit
ted under practically the conditions as
though the islands were a part of the
United States, and that their annexa
ton would bring no further competi
ton.
''H the sugar beet producers of the
Pacific Coast" said Secretary Wilson,
In speaking Of the matter, ''can now
proatably engage in beet raising and
sugar producing, as they are doing in
the face Of this Hawaiian Importation
of cane sugar, those far removed from
the coast, with freight charges to be
added, will be doubly protected in
their beet sugar enterprises"
Nh. Wilson has steadfastly advo-
Gated the annexation of the islands
and thinks, from an agricultural point
OF view alone, that their possession
would be of great benefit to this coun-
try. The United States ear grow nc
strictly tropical products, but Hawaii
is tropical, and the Secretary believes
that experiments there would result il
