Recent events showed that camp is
more dangerous than battle. Not only
in the army, but in ordinary life, more
lives are lost by needless disregard Of
the beginnings of poor health than by all
other causes combined.
Dyspepsia or nervousness is absolutely
inexcusable now. There is no more rea-
son for a man or woman eating with poor
appetite or sleeping poorly, or suffering
continually from neuralgia or rheumatism
today than there is of his or her going
without the necessities Of life.
Every canald person who has dragged
along under the depressing effects of
nerve and brain exhaustion needs to take

ing that Steamer 1 be transferred to
that portion of the town as a protec-

er of the Hoyle wooden mills, told a
Spy man today that the residents of
that village are wholly unprotected in
case of fire, While the citizens of Mill
bury have an excellent water pressure
and also two steamers.
Mr.. Hoyle said that there are at pres
ent two mills in West Millbury, and
if they are burned they win never be
rebuilt. The petition viii be present

the matter will be discussed at the an
nual meeting in March.

will be well patronized and will also
help the business industry of the town.

We Have Territory Enough.

The Register is opposed to annex
alton for the reason that it believes
that we have ample territory now,
and if we take in any more in the
future it should be land connected
with the United States by land.
We can gain all the advantages OF
Hawaii by extending protectorate
over that country and letting it's
people govern themselves in accord
ance with the will OF their majority.
We think that this is the only way
peace can be maintained among the
very much mixed population of Ha-
waii, and they can govern themselves
more cheaply as an independent
country than they can be governed
as portion OF the United States.
Hawaii and Cuba should both be
free and under the protectorate OF
the United States, but the Register
is opposed to giving the people Of
those and other laboripg countries
the right to a voice in the govern
ment OF the United States. Con-
gress has become too Important a
power to risk the balance OF power
therein that might be gained from
calling representatives from half
civilized countries. Representatives
from mountain and southern States
are about all this Government can
assim late at present. Ioaua State

The Silk Trade by Sea.

Recent researches OF M. Vidal de
la Blache, member Of the French
Academy OF Inscriptions and Bellies
Lettres, have thrown new light on
the very interesting question OF the
origin OF the commerce in silk by
way OF the sea. In examining some
texts of Pausanias, written about
the year 175 OF our era, M. de la
Blache finds it stated that the
country Of the production OF silk
(Seria) is a fuvial delta situated at
the lowest part of the Indian
Ocean"
This statement is in contradiction
to that Of Ptolemy and the geogra-
pliers who preceded him as to the
geographical position OF the "Seres"
silk country.)
Before Pausauias wrote silk had
been brought into Syria by way OF
the sea, and many towns were en-.
gagged in the manufacture OF the
goods, but about that time a change
was taking place in the directions
and routes of commerce.
la consequence Of the war against
the Parthians, which broke out in
the year 1872 and which was followed
by a pestilence which ravaged all
Western Asia, the merchants OF
Syria, deprived of their communica-
tions with the East by land, had
formed a company to seek by sea
the material on which the prosperity
OF their manufacturing industry de-
pended. 1t was about that period
also, that for the first time Chinese
fabrics marked the arrivals at vari-
Gus intervals Of Occidental mer-
chants tcalled Embassadors) in
Ji-Nan, or Tonquin, which appears
to be the Sera of Pausanias.-La

Fight Against Annexation.

The people who have, for the
most part, been Indifferent to the
Hawaiian matter are beginning to
realize what is involved in the pro-
posed policy; that it means the alb
sorption OF the islands against the
wishes OF the people living in them,
government CT the many by the few
the conferring OF statehood upon q
people unfit to receive it, aud the
establishment Of a precedent which
will be appealed 20 to support every
future proposal to extend our ma
tional domain. The time to stop
the imperial program is at the be-
ginning. The sum Of this whole
matter is that we do not need Ha-
wall and the Hawaiians do not want
to be annexed. That ought to be
enough for rational people,-Indian-
apolis News.

Against Annexation,

The Massachusetts, Reform Club
have adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Boston, Dec. Is.
Resolved, That it is the opinion Of
this club that the annexation OF the
Hawaiian Islands is unjust and uu-
wise-unjust because it deprives a
weaker people of their Independence
without their consent, and viola
ton OF the great principle that gov
eminent should rest on the consent
Of the governed; unwise, because it
brings this Nation an undesirable
population, dwelling so far from our
shores that we cannot safely govern
them as province, and Of such q
character that they should not be
allowed to govern themselves by
their admission as State.
