for 1900 miles or more, indented by the
best of harbors and inhabited by an ener-
getic and prosperous people. On the
north and northeast of the ocean lies Alas
ka, with its string of islands, each of which
could be made fortress and which stand
like immovabe sentinels at the entrance
to Boring Sea. Almost in the centre of
the ocean are the newly annexed Hawai-
ian Islands, and which can be made to
serve as the half way house for the war

They are one of the outposts. And
Dewey's victory at Manila added group
of the most valuable islands in the south
western corner of this ocean, while the
Ladrone Islands give one more stronghold.
This is most impregnable position.

Britain, Russia, China and Japan is COM
paratively small In fact the front Of all
four of these nations does not more than
equal the front of the United States. The
conclusion is inevitable. The North Pa
cifc Ocean will become practically an
American lake. The vast body of COM

The trade to be built up with China, ia

And the riches which result will belong to

THE REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE.

The Republican convention which met
at Marion last Thursday, the l4th inst.'
nominated Gen. Jas. A. Walker by accla-
nation as the candidate of the party to
renresent this district in the next Con-
Dress of the United States. This is the
third time Gen. Walker has been nomi-
mated by reclamation, distinction that
has never been accorded any other man in
tie Ninth District by any party. 1t shows
most conclusively that he has secured a
hold upon the confidence of the people,
and that he is formidable man for any
candidate of the opposing party to run

The platform of the Democrats of the
Fifth Congressional District, who nomi-
mated the Hon: Claude Swanson as their
candidate for that district last week, de-
nounces the Republican party because
Congress did not recognize the Cuban In
surgents as belligerents, and thereby pre-
vent war between Spain and the United
States. Any person with half sense must
know that earlier recognition would have
resulted in an earlier declaration of war
1t is now conceded that war was declared
before the United States was properly pre-
pared. The Democrats of the Fifth Dis
trict are foolish enough to think they car
make votes by criticising the Republican
party for not doing what every sensible
man must admit would have been prema
ture and unwise.

against. Gen. Walkers record in Con-
gress has been bold and such as is approved
by his constituents, He has won stand
ing with the Republicans of the North that
NO Republi can from the South has hereto
fore enjoyed for ability. He has stood
firmly by the Administration and for the
principles and policies of the Republican
party. That he will practically receive
the united support of his party in the dis
trict there can be no doubt, Those Re-
publicans who have felt that they were
personally aggrieved in the distribution of
patronage will see that it is their duty to
give the candidate of the party cordial
support.
We have no doubt of Gen. Walkers
triumphant election. Republicanism is
stronger in the Ninth District than it has
ever been. The party has done nothing
to lose the confidence of the people since
1896 when the majority in the district was
vely large. Upon the contrary it has done
much that is calculated to win the es-
TEEN of the public, and it is hardly likely
that the voters of this section will vote for
the Democratic candidate, who is hostile
to every thing that has contributed to the
present favorable business conditions that
exist throughout the country.
The Republicans have acted wisely IN
selecting Gen. Walker again as their cali
didate for Congress. Let every true party
man now 90 to WORK and help to secure a
grand victory for Republican principles at
the November election.

A Religious journal. CritloI.m.

Under tho caption of Draw tho
Line" The Central Presbyterian of
Richmond in d leading editorial says:
The reader is aware of the revolution
now in progress by which the female
sex is simultaneously advanced to great.
er dignity and usefulness and urged in
to positions and occupations for which
they have been hitherto deemed dis.
qualified by nature. We confess our
painful apprehension that the latter in.
novation may tend to deprive the femi.
nine element of society of certain Quail
tiles designed for, tho highest good of
tho race. The mort brutal OF men know
we'll that there nre two different spheres
of activity intended for the sexes and a
line drawn by creation that cannot be
obliterated without great sacrifice
The savage does not train his daughters
to the use of arms as he does his sons.
The physioloSist and anatomist point
ont differences of bone and muscle that
qualify the male physique for labors
and exertions more severe than those of
his consort. There is certain delicate
difference of structure and endowment
that marks off the woman from the man
and indicates difference in her duties
that cannot be neglected with impuni-
ty.
Tho word of God recognizes this truth
and requires us to preserve it. The only
question relates to its significance. 1t is
daily impressed upon us that the exist
ing confusion is rendering ii less and
less distinct, and that while the women
of our time are properly admitted to
share in many advantages and duties
from which they have been excluded
too many of them are boldly pushing
their way into functions which are in
consistent with their nature. The re-
linquishment of modesty, delioaoy and
refinement is bad enough in man, but
the public appearance OF female lectur-
ers aud declaimers in pulpits and on
platforms in the presence of the other
sex appears to US bad in its tendency if
not essentially evil. So respectable q
parsonage as Miss Willard did not
shrink from moralizing on impurity be-
tween the sexes before large audience.
We insist that even brothers and SIS
ters in private conversation had better
abstain from such q topic. Much more
is it a shame for maiden lady to dis
cuss it in public and allow her views
on the subject to be reported to the en-
tire world.

Tho wheelwoman'. Skirt.

Addressing athletic women In The,
Ladies' Home Journal, Edward W. Box
has some sensible suggestions regarding
their costumes, and presents them very
foroibly. 1--WE need only to look a. some
of the wheelwomeu who ride over our
roads and through our streets with
skirts too short for we'll grown child
OF q years to see how far and to what
vulgar extent this abuse has been car
ried, 1" he says "For woman to be
comfortable at her athletics she must
have skirt shorter than that which she
wears on the street or in the house.
but this does not mean that she should
don garment 50 scant as to leave her
limbs exposed. !. !s sad enough when
we see very young girl In these abbre-
waited athletic skirts, but at least we
can attribute 1t to youthful indisore-
tion. But when married woman SO far
forgets herself, her years and her sex rs
to parade before the eyes of men in the
short skirts which many Of them Affect
the sight is nothing short of disgusting.
Even more to be condemned is the
custom which some women have adopt
cd OF donning short skirts as regula-
tion morning or afternoon dress, when
they really -aye no thought of athletics.
Too ofteI is :: the case that women in
these abbreviated skirts enter public
dining rooms or loll around verandas in

The Position of spanish women.

Il am not going to hois. the banner
of the intellectual superiority of the
woman~o or proclaim even the equality
of the sexes in that respect, says Lenora
do Belmont in The Revista Contempo-
ranea. 1--WE are bound to acknowledge
that there have at all times been wom-
en- who were superior to most men, but
we must also confess that very few
have reached the position attained by
the most eminent men in science, liter
ature or art, and even those few have
only followed in the wake of man. But
assuming that feminine intelligence is
really less vigorous than man s, it is
nevertheless worthy of being taken into
consideration, for women have proved
that they can fill high position not
only in art and literature, but also in
science and philosophy.
Regarded as incapable of perform
ing work requiring intelligence and in
dependent action, the Spanish woman
is brought up with the idea that frivol-
ity is one of her most powerful attrao-
tions and that ignorance and absolute
dependence are the qualities necessary
for those who aspire to be model wives
and good mothers. Yet if it be wom-
an 8 mission to share the life and labors
of a man and make him happy; II she
be the one called upon to give to the
