Whatever else ..national expansion may
be it is not party question. The
strongest resolution in favor of expansion
from any political convention yet held
comes from the Democrats of Wyoming
who demand the retention of all territory
oyer which the American flag floats. This
would include Cuba as well as the Philip
pinss and Porto Rico. The nearest ap.
proach to this is perhaps the platform OF
the Tennessee Republicans which demands
the annexation of Porto Rico and all the
West Indies. the ultimate annexation OF
Cuba by the free consent of its people,
and such control Of the Philippines and
other islands as shall secure to the United
States the trade in and commerce Of these
islands and good government for their
people The Republican platforms in
Maine, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota and
Wisconsin are silent on the question. The
Missouri and the Texas Democrats have
both declared in favor of territorial ex-
pansion, though they are not sure that
thoy want the. Philippines. The only
Democratic state convention, SO far as we
have observed, that has made an out and
out declaration against "imperialism"
is that of Vermont, state where there
are no Democrats of any consequence.

THE EFFECT OF CoLoRs.

There are colors that are refreshing and
broadening, others that absorb light and
give a boxed. up appearance to a room
Others that make a room with bleak
northern exposure, or with 10 exposure
at all, appear bright and cheerful; some
that make room app ear warm, and
some that make it cold.
If the ceiling is to be made higher,
leave it light, that it may appear to re-
oede. Deepening the color used on the
ceiling would make 1t lower, an effect
desirable if the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones of vel
low are substitutes for sunlight.

grees when you walk into blue room

While the rations served out to the
troops on the Mobile consisted, accord
ing to their officers, largely of mouldy
bread and rotten meat, there was plenty
of good food on board, but 1t had to be
bought of the steward at exorbitant
prices. 1t would be interesting to know
how this steward came into possession OF
this opportunity to make money at the
expense Of the soldiers. 1t is said that
the steward will be discharged, but tina,
is not enough. He ought to be punished
as we'll, and the persons who made it pos
sible for him to starve shipload of SOL
diers in order to make money out of them
ought to be punished too.

The Kennebec Journal recommends that
when the First Maine Regiment arrives
back at Augusta all the people shout, all
the bells be rlng, and all the whistles be
blown and as much noise as possible be
made by everything animate and mani

performance is that it is likely to add
nervous prostration to the troops other

The experience Of our troops who went
to the Philippines on transports was
about the same as that of those who
took part in the expeditions to Santiago
and Porto Rico. A Hawaiian paper re-
ports them on their arrival at Honolulu
as complaining bitterly OF overcrowded
quarters and insufficient food.

According to the New York Worlds
Manila correspondents the troops at that
place are homesick and disguised with the
country and hope that it is not to be per-

have good deal of influence in determin-

shall be done with these islands.

According to the Manila correspondent
of the New York Sun the relations be-
tween Admiral Dewey and the German
Admiral have been more strained than
has been generally known. The acts OF
the German Admiral at one time were so
clearly in violation of neutrality that Ad
miral Dewey sent message to him in
which he said that ii there was war be-
tween the countries he wanted to know
it; if there was peace he said he wanted
the German Admiral to change his course.
The German apologizsd but he did not
stop his petty interferences. Admiral
Dewey is quoted by the correspondent as
saying that the little fight in Manila bay
was one of the least difficult things he
has had to do.

According to the Providence Journal
Lieut. Hobson does not expect to be allie
to raise single Spanish ship with his air
bags, but he thinks nevertheless that his
experiment will be valuable Perhaps
SO, but when an experiment is of SO
doubtful a character that it's author does
not expect to succeed, and when its re-
suit even If successful, will not be
anything of value, for it is generally ad-
mitted that the Spanish ships are SO badly
smashed that they will be practically
worthless except as curiosities, If raised,

hundred thousand dollars to make it.
