The Boss Freak.

This is great country. We have
the most land, the most water and the
wcttest. the coldest cold and the hottest
heat, the most lovely women, the BRAY
est men, the biggest circuses and more
corns on our toes than any other people
on earth. We can raise finer babies
and make better chicken pie than all
the powers OF Europe combined. And
now, according to the Benton Standard:
Illinois comes forward with the boss
freak of the universe. The Standard
says if he was little freak it would
not own him, but is he beats the world
with hobbies on his hind legs the
Standard goes into ecstacies over him.
According to the Standard he drinks
pint of embalming fluid and then sucks
in glass full of Paris green, and calls
for lemonade of rough on rats. He
drives an awl in his skull, hangs L chair
on the awl and swings it around. bis
skull is full Of awl holes. He knows
no pain. Has no feeling and likes 4
hash Of pounded glass. lie can eat all
day or &c without victuals for i couple
of months. At Muncic, Indiana, lie
was buried fourteen days in grave
seven feet deep. with only 4 small tube
through which to breathe. While he
was in his grave he courtcd 4 young,
giddy thing, proposed to her, and after
he was dug up, married her. The girl
seems to be proud of him. Just why.
we do not know, unless it is for the
same reason woman is proud of an odd
hat. because no other woman in the
world has one like it. Why. that freak
can feel the thrill of love He can't
blush. He can emotionatc worth i
cent. Some day that girl will make l
mistake and drink out of his glass, and
then she won't need an air tube in her
crave. No other country could pro-
ducc such freak or big enough fool
to marry him.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1898-08-10
The Spread of Empire.

The present war with Spain was be-
gun under solemn declaration by the
American Congress that twas not de-
signed to be war Of conquest. but was
undertaken for the sole purpose Of
bringing relief to an oppressed and
downtrodden people. II anybody :C
that time had suggested the possibility
of our acquiring and holding the Phil
ippine or the Caroline Islands. to say
nothing Of Cuba and Porto Rico, he
would have been laughed at as an idle
dreamer. But, as the Christian Ad-
vocate says, the impossible has come
to pass. The doctrine is now boldly
proclaimed in many quarters that when
ever or wherever our flag has been
flung to the breeze there it must con-
tinue to float There is grave danger
that the American mind will become
intoxicated with the vision of imperial
ism. and forget all the sound and
wholesome traditions Of the fathers.
1t is true that from the beginning Of
our history we have followed the policy
of expansion. but We have never at any
time acquired any new territory off the
Continent. nor any that we could not
erect into sovereign States. The mere
idea that we should now begin to grab
vast possessions which must necessarily
be held and governed as subject PROV
inces, is abhorrent to our whole system
of republican government. Nothing IS
more false than that we need such pos
sessions as fields for exploiting our
commerce. If we desire trade, the,
thing for US to do is to sweep away our
medaevial tariff laws and go into all the
world with something better to sell
than anybody else has to offer. The
proposed imperialism means several
things. all of which. as We think, are
open to the most serious objection; an
indefinite increase in the size Of our
standing army; the building up and
maintenance of an enormous navy: the
taking of an active part in all the dis
putes. squabbles, and wars that arise in
aey part of the world; and. in general,
thea abandonment OF the very principles
under which we have grown rich and
great. Who does not shudder when he
thinks of the awful possibilities that lie
along that untried road? Have we not
problems enough at home to deal with?
Is not our land filed with injustice,
dishonesty, oppression. and political
corruption? Before we ride abroad to
set our lances in rest against the wind
mills of other countries. would it not be
we'll for us to address ourselves in he
roic fashion to the task Of curing the,
i'll that lie around US On every hand?
Nothing but an enormous self-conceit
could blind our eyes to the duties that
are so near, and set US to playing the
part of guardian to races that live IN
distantclimes.

a Rich Prize.

1t makes no difference whether the
war ends now or later Porto Rico IS to
be ours. There will be no terms of
peace that do not include the cession Of
this rich prize to the United States.
Porto Rico has an area of 3, sos square
miles and is 95 miles long and 50 miles
wide. Its population, according to the
latest figures available, is little over
S00.O 600; about 100000 are negroes.
There are 1871 miles Of railway and $50
miles of wagon road; nearly all the
transportation in the interior is carried
on by pack mules and riding Loses. a
good telegraph system connects the
principal towns, and the telephone also
has been introduced. Though the
climate is very warm it is salubrlous ex-
cept for about three months of the year.
Porto Rico is far healthier than Cuba
now and with proper sanitation every
part of it could be made safe for inhabi-
tants. Porto Rico is more densely
populated than almost any state Of our
Union. 1t has number Of cities OF
considerable size. San Juan, the capi-
tai, has population Of 10000 within
its walls and about as many in its out.
laying suburbs. There is no system OF
sewerage and no water works. Drinking
water is supplied by cisterns filed with
rain water caught from the roofs OF
houses. The city was founded 290
years ago. is walled and has a meat and
drawbridges. There are few other sig
nifcant towns. Ponce is the second IN
size, having a population Of l3,00;
Mayagues has 1900, Fajardo 5000
Arecibo 1000, Aguadilla 5000, luna
Gao 1000, Naguabo 1000 and Arroyo
l.2OO. Porto Rico has a great variety
of products. Its principal exports a1e
sugar and molasses, chocolate: cocoa
nuts, tobacco, coffee; oranges, bananas
and bay rum The principal imports
ore -four, breadstuffs, dried meats and
AGRICULTURAL machinery. The United
States has not succeeded in monopoE.Z-
ing Porto Rican trade. Much Of it has
been carried on with Spain. In 1891
the imports from the United States
were valued at s., ,1S1.02i and the ex-
ports to this county 81, 9So, Soo. The
total Porto Rican trade averages about
$50, OG0. 600 year, Of which Sl6,O0O,-
900 represents exports and Sl4.090:00e
imports. This trade will. Of course
be largely increased and will be practl~
cally monopolized BY the United States
