AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN.

The Chicago Post urges the farmers
to take an interest in the Eastern
question, and force their representa-
tives to action. 1t tells them that the
day will come, if it has not already
come, when their markets will be N
the Orient, and the United States
should back up England in its policy
of keeping the Eastern lands open to
the world. 1t quotes the official state
ment that for the last ten months the
exports from the United States to
Great Britain were valued at $473 ,329,-
079, while the exports to all other
countries of the world were only 1884,
653, 576. The excess of exports to Great
Britain is startling
The situation, however, is extreme
ly amusing. Americas policy is that
of protecting home industries. Great
Britain's policy is that of the worlds
free trade. China's policy is that of
exclusive protection, that is, protection
with vengeance. Now, when there
is some talk of dividing up China's
trade between Russia and Germany
Great Britain gathers together the
most powerful fleet of modern times to
prevent it, and maintain free trade.
America, sweet maiden, puts her arms
around John Bulls thick neck and
whispers in his ear, Dear Mr.. Bull,
you are so nice and charming,-(k kisses
HIM dear Mr.. Bull, thank you for
keeping those wicked men from try
ing to stop your trade, and my trade
too, with the Chinese. 1 do scratch
your eyes, sometimes. Mr.. Bull, but
you dear old thing--how i hate those
Russians and Germans"
The arguments of the Chicago Post
are strong, inanswerable arguments
for the securing of American footholds
in the Pacific.
In the long run, not in the short
run-it is for the interests of Great
Britain that these Islands now go into
the possession of the United States.
Some Englishmen so say, and they
will say it again.

In the recently published History of
South Carolina under the Proprietary
Governments" by Edward McCrady, it
is stated that the people during the
period before and after the year 100,
were hospitable, generous, and enter
tanned freely; that young girls received
their beaux at o'clock p. m, and ex-
pected them to withdraw at 6 O'Clock,
as many families retired to bed at 7
o'clock in the winter, and o'clock in
the summer, as they had learned to
obey the curfew bell in England
Perhaps the reason that the people of
those days were not knocked out by
nervous troubles, as the people Of the
present day are, is that their lives were
free from excitement, and they had
abundance of physical rest.
We of modern days, have steam, cleo
tricity and unnumbered comforts, but
all these increase apparently the ner-
vous troubles. What are the blessings
of civilization without rest?

In addition to the regular correspon-

are repository bureaus of complaints

recently addressed to Secretary Bliss

THE KLONDIKE MISERY.

The dispatches sent by the army
officers in the Klondike, to the War
department in Washington on the con-
dition of the inhabitants, contained
such important news that a Cabinet
meeting was Immediately held for the
purpose of taking strong action.
Many thousands of free and en-
lightened American citizens, not at all
the scum of society, have chosen to make
fools of themselves, and have virtual
ly forced the Government to establish
a pauper settlement in Alaska. Con-
gress must now feed a lot of able
bodied men, or they will simply starve.
The Military commander in Alaska,
who writes without prejudice, says that
"seven per cent of the people who have
entered the territory during the past
year have made a living, and hundreds
are now scattered along the river, des-
titute of food, clothing, and money"
He also states that he has reason to
believe that bands of lawless men are
organizing to plumber those who are
not able to protect themselves. He
recommends that the Government re-
fuse to allow American immigration
unless the immigrant carries with him
supplies for two years.
In these dispatches we see the
changes of sentiment made by time
and experience. Thirty years ago, the
miners or immigrants would have been
left to establish law and order in their
own way, that is, set up Judge Lynch's
court. Now there will be an effort
made to govern by Federal law. Those
of us, who try to be students in poll
teal evolution, will watch with much
interest the way the Alaskan affair
will be handled by Congress. Hither-
to, in the mining regions of the terri
tories there were so many pulls in
Washington, and the smarter and more
unscruplous the man, the better the
pull" it was hardly possible to Sc
cure good government. But now it
looks as if Congress would take intelli-
gent action. Besides, many of the Am
erican papers are so woefully unpatri-
otto as to hold up the superb manage
ment of the Canadian officials in this
matter. As American Jingoes, We nat
urally feel, owing to our race habits,
that the Canadians have neither virtue
nor capacity. And when they show sur
prising organizing power in territorial
matters, we feel as if they had been
robbing someone. We reluctantly for
give them for their imprudence in set
ting before us an example.

IMPROVED NATURAL STONE
FILTERS

as shown in our window. The water
muddy and discolored-is shown in
the top reservoir, and after passing
through stone, drops clear and pure
into the bottom receptacle. This filter
is absolutely the best known and is
made in four sizes-6, Z, 8 and 9 quarts.
We would strongly urge upon House
holders, the incalculable benefits de-
rived from the use of them, and are
pleased always to explain their merits.
For Restaurants, Hotels, Ships or
Offices, we have a very handy article

them is always cold and pleasant.

THE SIGHT

of so much water lying
around is, in a sense, a pleasing one,
since we are assured of full reservoirs
and a consequent, though perhaps
brief, opportunity of once more en-
joying life in this Pacific Paradise. .
Another thought is, however, apt to
strike us, and that is the danger to be
apprehended by reason of the faulty
system of drainage-or should we say,
the absence of a system, however
faulty? The authorities that be" are
devoting some attention to this matter
just now, but the attention of House
holders is directed to the part they
are expected to play in the game of

crobes and other similar craft, which,
unmolested, take up their abode in
the water we drink and communicate
to us the means by which our health
is broken and our lives eventually
lost.

point, that the best system of filtration

ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarsapariIia.

Yes, Scrofula, If anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
deollltatlng, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emolllents may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and 1t is the only one that, SO far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and l began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

Commencement, Friday, April Goth.
Supt FW Meylert, was pleasant vi
tor here last week.
a very inter sting program is being pre-.
pared by the students which will be ren,
dered in commemoration of Arbor Day.
Friday April 22nd. Tree planting with
appropriate dedicating exercises in the
afternoon TO which the patriots and friends
OF education are cordially invited. Lasl
Saturday the students and others thus
made some much needed improvements
on the school ground by grading, ieveIing
and seeding the yard.
The Junior Glass are making the nee.
essary arrangements for banquet in the
evening ofthe junior exhibition. It will
be at the home of Mr. w. C. Rogers.
Tie Executive Committee Of the Al
umni, has also decided to hold their ann.
ual banquet-at the Forksville House the
night OF commencement.
A very interesting and profitable exer-
else for Friday afternoon, was conducted
by the students short time age, in the
Shape Of a session of the National Congress.
A bill was formed appropriating $50, 900
Tor the relief OF the starving Cubans. The
patriotic sentiment and speeches were so
strong, that undoubtedly ifthe administra.
lion does not take action soon, they will
be recognizing the Cubans as Billigerants.
