as to whether we should avail OUR

into it by the conduct of Spain herself,
and she must pay the cost. The Phil

the sources Of our indemnity if we
choose to keep them. When Spain

has enjoyed since the close Of the civil
wal is the longest which has happened
since the declaration of independence,
and our situation now shows the neces-
sity OF being prepared for war at any
moment. I regard the present war as
fraught with many blessings. 1t uni
fies the country by giving the South
the opportunity to prove her loyalty to
the fag-an opportunity which she
eagerly embraces. 1t will create a SEN
timent in favor of a strong navy, which
is indispensable In these days to the
security of a great maritime and COM
mercial power like the United States;
for 1t is sea power which commands
the wholesome respect Of nations to-
day. 1t will prove that the island Of
Cuba, directly or indirectly, is as es-
sential to the peace and safety of the
United States as the control Of a large
island at the mouth of the Thames
would be to England, or one at the
mouth of the Seine would be to France.
Look back over the diplomatic history
OF this country for seventy-five years
and you will find that one Of it's most
interesting chapters relates to Cuba.
You will find that during all of that
period Cuba has been a constant source
OF anxiety to us lest it might, through
European intrigues or %upheavals, pass
into other hands than those of Spain.
More than once the United States has
been brought face to face in hostile at
titude, first with one power and then
with another, because they coveted its
ownership. In the hands Of a strong
power it would be an uncomfortable men
ace to us. War with Spain sooner or
later vas inevitable. In no other way
would she have ever relinquished her
sovereignty v Cuba. Fortunately it
has come in such shape as to make it
a holy war"

be as impossible for her to retain SOW

would be to retain sway over Cnba.
The j%ealousies existing between Eu-
ropean powers seem to preclude the
idea of their passing under the flag of
either of them without exciting a con-
fict, even If we were disposed to sell
them. The United States, therefore,
will most likely have the problem pre-
scented to it Of deciding whether it
should make a new departure in it's
acquiring of territory in Asiatic waters.
1t is not difficult to foresee that such
a question will excite profound discus
sion in this country between those who
believe that we should adhere to the
restricted policy marked out in the be-
ginning Of the republic, and those who
believe that the time has arrived for
hroaGer foreign relations which will
make us a more influential factor in
the control and division of the worlds
commerce.
ANY one who has at all noted the
| progress of events must perceive that
| great changes have taken place in the
character of our government since its
foundation, little mOre than a century
ago. The civil war decided the dis
puted question as to whether our sys-
tenn was a voluntary bond between
states to be determined at any mo
ment that either of them thought prop
err to withdraw from it, or whether it
was an indissoluble union which could
only be terminated by a majority of
all of the people of all Of the states,
and we came out of that wal a nation
spelled with a big N, as much SO as the
people of Great Britain, or of France,
under their systems. Since then the
trend of federal legislation, the decis-
ions of the highest judicial tribunal
in the land, the settlement of delicate
and intricate questions arising with
other nations in consequence of the
expansion Of our commerce, the re-
| sponsibilities created, and even the
jealousies excited by our growing i'm
portance, all tend to the solidifying OF
power in the central government for
the protection of the rights and happi-
ness of the American people.

has now settled down as a member Of
SPANS secret service establishment in
Canada. We are not sure that the chal-
lenged officials on this side OF the line
have the best of the bargain. 1t might
be a waste of time and powder to fight
a duel with a bloviating f1re-eater like
Carranza, but he would be safer In the
hospital than as a cunning spy. AS a
Spanish lieutenant could not probably
hit anything short Of a forty-foot bill
board, we must conclude that a great
opportunity to remove a dangerous spy
without incidental danger has been
missed.

were shod with one aluminium shoe
and three iron shoes each, the former
being OF the fore foot in some cases,

experiment lasted six weeks, and
showed that the aluminium shoes last

than the iron ones.

The liberal government in Canada is
preparing to hold a referendum on the
subject of prohibition. A bill Is being
prepared which will provide for a vote
by the entire people of Canada on the
~advisability of passing a federal pro-
hibitory act, forbidding the manufac-
:nre, importation and sale of intoxicat.
ing liquors. Since 1878 there have been
plebiscites in the four provinces OF
Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, On
tario and Nova Scotia on the subject,
each of which gave a majority for pro.
hibition, the aggregate in the four be-
ing 132,91S votes. 1t seems more thar
likely that prohibition will receive a
majority at the proposed plebiscite for
The whole dominion, but it is lot sure
that the government will then pass o
%prohibitory law.
