The United States, the greatest food
producing nation in the world, stands
midway of the world. It has western
and southern Europe on one hand,
eastern and southern Asia on the
other. AS Senator Hanna pointed out
in recent interview, lone third of the
population of the world is to be
reached across the Pacific" At least
another third is to be reached across
the Atlantic. And we can feed both
sections, besides furnishing them with
all kinds of manufactures. This is our
position and the chief problem is how
to induce all these people to buy from
us. The way to do this is to take our
goods to them, and offer them upon
advantageous terms. To begin, we
shall want plenty of American ships
and every advantage we can command
for trade intercourse. 1t is for Con-
gress, in it's wisdom, to provide the
proper measures for securing these.

The II told you SOL" is common
among the Spanish military and polit-
ical leaders these days when they
speak of the results of the recent war.
Apparently all of them knew what the
end would be before the beginning
took place. If their stories be true the
folly of Spain's chieftains was greater
than was suspected in the outside
world. Rather than give the Cubans
their independence or permit them to
buy it. Spain deliberately entered
upon a war which was sure to result in
the destruction of thousands of Span
ish lives, the expenditure of hundreds
of millions of dollars and the loss OF
other territory in addition to Cuba.
The knowledge among her public men
that war would bring overwhelming
disaster to her was probably not so
widely diffused as some of them now
pretend. Many of Spain's political
as we'll as military leaders, in all prob
ability Thought that, through the aid
which they looked for from continent
al Europe, Spain would either be vic
torious or the war would bring no ma
terial change in Spanish power or
prestige on the American continent
or elsewhere.

Opinions expressed publicly by people

always interesting. There is some
thing novel in reading the incidents
connected with the life Of fellow resi-

has mentally digested, the opinion Of
Mrs. Herbert Cyphers, Of rs Child St.,
notice how much more satisfactory the
conclusions arrived at are, than IL a
column Of reading matter had been
waded through about some resident in
Michigan or Florida, who declared he
had been sick, then cured by using a
certain remedy.
Mrs. Cyphers says: For year or
more was troubled with symptoms Of
kidney complaint. At night had such
ing in the morning to dull disagree
able ache that often left my bed more
tired than when went to it. It was
torturing to do any STOPPING. Distress
ing dizzy headaches distracted me
every morning and often lasted
through the greater part Of the day.
After trying many other things, I at
last got at >>the "Old Reliable" drug

When the Nicaragua Canal compan

When the Nicaragua Canal Company
asked the United States government to
guarantee it's bonds it estimated the
cost of the work, in round figures, at
$7O,0O0.000, although Engineer Menocal
placed it as low as s65, 100000. Admiral
Walker, a year ago, estimated it at
$125, 100000. The Ludlow commission,
appointed by President Cleveland in
1895, said it would cost about $133, 500, :
900. The Wheeler commission, which
has just returned from a survey of the
route. says the canal can be built for
LESS than 500, 100000" 1t is fair 20
say that these widely varying esti-
mates are not based on exactly the
same data, as, for instance, the Wheel
er commission recommends certain
changes of location and other details,
which it thinks would reduce the cost
much below that of the plan consid-
cred by the Ludlow commission.

There can be no asona.ble objection
to the division of the army of occupa-
ton in Cuba between Major, Generals
Wade and Lee. There is a strong SEN
timent in this country favorable to
sending General Lee to Havana, ac-
companied by an army. This senti-
ment is founded upon the sense of JUS
tice. There lis no popular desire to de-
prive faithful regular army officers of
rewarding preferments, but in this
case there is a principle involved which
should not he ignored. General Lee,
even though he is a volunteer, should
return to Havana to complete the OBJ
ject lesson the nation has been en-
gagged i'm exemplifying.

The Democrats are doing great
deal of bowling about that war reve-

that the Democrats issued $500, 900, 600
in bonds in times of peace and sold
them to the bankers while the repub-
lican party issued 5000, OOO, 900 in time Of
war and sold them to the people, there
is no reason why we should object to
their making campaign issue of the
bond matter If they SO desire.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

No man ever knows how much he is
capable of till he isn't in love.
If it weren't for their own parents
children would respect other peoples
parents more.
No man was ever convinced against
his will that no woman was ever con-
WINGED at all.
The first half of the first love letter
a man gets from a girl is about how
she has never written such a letter
before.
