success. Not only are the hares rested
under the new plan before they start for

lots for the box out OF which the hare is

selecting long or a short hare for any pair

Eastward Expansion of the United
States

No longer can the United States be
said merely to face Europe across the
Atlantic From the Pacific slope she is
now also in close communication with
the Asiatic world, aud when trans
isthmian canal is made, the bonds that
unite her with Asia will be drawn in
fnitely closer.
China and the Far East. facing as they
do the Pacific coast, lie practically at the
back door OF the United States, and it is
obvious that whatever promotes enter
terprise in China, or enhances the wealth
and prosperity Of the people, must react
most forcibly on it's sea.borne trade, of
which, by means of the new vantage
ground she is about to enjoy, the United
States stands to reap the first fruit.
Now that the war with Spain is over,
there will be time to devote attention to
the important question of eastward ex-
pansion OF the United States and the
place which the United States may be ex
pected to occupy among the nations of
the world. On tie subject of eastward
expansion Mr.. Archibald R. Colquhoun,
whose book, China in Transformation,
is OF the utmost interest and value geo.
graphically. politically, and CONNER
cially, has an article in Harper's Maya
zine for October, in which he points out
that recent events have made it clear
that two great continental powers
Russia and France-are actively engaged
in China, on political campaign which
is intended to shut the door against the
commerce of the Anglo-Saxon powers:
while Germany is tactly supporting
that dual alliance in order to obtain
special and exclusive advantages for her
self. Some Of the minor powers (Bel-
GUM. for instance) already show signs
of Joining this combination. China is,
in fact, undergoing ''lingchili" (slicing to
death) at the hands OF league OF GER
tain European protectionist nations.
The problem by which the United
States is confronted, therefore, is whether
she will merge her forces with those of
Russia, and thus put an end to Anglo
Saxon leadership-for the secular
struggle has resulted in pitting the Teu-
tonic group, Of which the most impor-
tant is the English.speaking section.
against the Slavs, which means simply
Russia-or cooperate with Britain in
Strengthening that ascendency, SO max
ing it practically unassailable. 4aa
1t requires no elaborate argument to
demonstrate that injury to England
would be disastrous to the United
States, for the power. of the United
States to extend her trade in Asia, and
in large measure, to expand as a ma
ton, depends much upon the Anglo
Saxon supremacy, and as the common
aims and aspirations of the Unitec
States and Britain, the bond oil race, o
religion, and Of government, indicate fol
them a common destiny, shall we MOI

Lord WolseIey Sorted the Mail.

A story is told of Lord Wolseley
which presents the commander-in.chi in
rather novel light. 1t dates from the
first Soudan campaign, and is related BY
a commissioned officer, named
Nourse. At Korti. Nourse went into the
post-office to look for some letters. The
postmaster was native, and not much
used to handwriting. He made super
fetal examination OF big pile of letters
and papers, and said there was nothing
for the applicant. Nourse asked to see
the pile ofletters, and while he was look
ing them over a man with nothing to
designate his rank came into the office.
He took in the situation at a glance.
"Ler's clear this thing out" he said.
They jumped on the counter and pro-
ceeded to "clear it out" by first bundling
out the postmaster. Then they began a
careful examination of the post-office,
and found it congested with mails tor
the army. They searched every nook
and Granny, throwing the letters for
each regiment into different pile and
heaping up all the newspapers in the

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The President after the cabinet meeting
last Friday issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
by the President of the United States,
a proclamation. the approaching Novem-
Der brings to mind the custom our ances-
tors hallowed by time and rooted in most
sacred traditions OF giving thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings he has
vouchsafed to us during the past year.
Sew years in our history have afforded
such cause for thanksgiving as this. We
have been blessed by abundant harvests,
our trade and commerce have been won
derfully increased. our public credit has
been improved and strengthened, all
sections of our common country have
been brought together and knitted into
closer bonds OF national purpose and
unity.
THE skies have been for time darkened
by the clouds of war, but as we were
compelled to take up the sword in the
cause of humanity, we are permitted to
rejoice that the conflict was of so brief
duration and the losses we have had to
mourn, though grievous and important,
have been so few, considering the great
results accomplished as to inspire us
with gratitude and praise to the Lord of
Hosts. We may laud and magnify His
holy name, that the cessation of hostili-
ties came so soon as to spare both sides
the countless sorrows and disasters that
attend protracted war. do therefore
invite all my fellow-citizens, as well
those at home as those who may be at
sea or sojourning in foreign lands to set
apart and observe Thursday, the Oath
day OF November, as day of national
thanksgiving, to come together in their
several places of worship Tor a service OF
praise and thanks to Almighty God for
all the blessings of the year, for the mild
ness of the season and fruitfulness of the
soil. for the continued prosperity Of the
people, for the devotion and valor Of our
countrymen. for the glory OF our victory
and the hope Of righteous peace and to
pray that the Divine Guidance which has
brought us heretofore to safety and
honor may be graciously continued in
the years to come"

The pastoral letter adopted by the
house OF bishops IN triennial session
should have been read in every Episcopal
church in the United States last Sunday.
The most important part OF the letter is
the declaration of freedom of the Ameri-
can church. 1t says, in part
give new missionary bishops have
been elected, and the jurisdictions OF the
domestic missionary field have been re-
distributed and in some instances re-
named.
Next Whit Sunday will be the seventh
semi-centennial anniversary OF the book
of common prayer, and we most earnest
ly ask that the day may be observed in
our churches as commemorative an
event which, more than any other single
gift of God, has reversed the confusion OF
tongues BY giving, to the lips of count
less worshipers, the one mouth in
which to show forth Gods praise.
1--WE are glad while insisting upon the
importance OF keeping the public school
system of education free from political
intrigue or UNCONVENTIONAL intrusion, to
urge, all the more, that it must be COM
plemented and consecrated by more care
iul and definite training in religious truth
in the family and in the Sunday school,
in church, schools and colleges, and IN
the careful teaching of the clergy of the
church.
ut is good for us to know that the
number OF persons confirmed during the
last three years is $500 more than in the
like preceding period, that our list o.
communicates has grown by 63.145, an
increase OF 10 per cent. and that the con
tributions of the last triennium exceed
those OF the like preceding period by ST.,
$50, 104 70.
THAT branch OF the church Of God to
which we belong hath the heritage OF
sacred and noble past, in the history O.
the Engish-speaking race, which must
be at once her responsibility and her
glory. One year ago your bishops met
at Lambeth by invitation OF the great
archbishop who occupies the see Of Can
terbury to recall in reverence the ancient
traditions of the church, and to take
counsel Tor the future Of her great ant
growing power throughout the world
Yet tits OF the very nature OF the Catho
lie church that her spirit is restricted te
no particular language, to no one people
to no special age, and to no separate
race. She bears upon her no stamp o
Italy or England, no label Of the fourth
century or of the 18th century. He
spirit is free spirit, and her catholicit,
identifies her in close affinity with thu
genius and institutions of the peopl
among whom she dwells."
