War a Necessary Element.

Appr0p0S or Spa1nS trouble with
Cuba" remarked a back pla tform ora
tor on a Woodward avenue car, "let
me say emphatically that war is glo-
rious thing!'
Looks of inquiry passed over the
faces of those present, says the Detroit
Free Press, and the speaker, lighting a
fresh cigar. continued:
well did the blazoned French phil
| osopher of idealism affirm that the god
of war preponderates over the evil and
that the triumph of the conqueror is
the triumph of reason over ignorance,
and his cause is always just. Let it
not be affirmed that the battle is an I'M
mitigated evil, for the benefits of war
have always counterpoised its evils.
War is the necessary process for the
grand lustration of the atmosphere!
To eulogiZe war is to honor nature and
its author. 1t Is not correct to think
that every so-called evil that war in
tiicts is standing and melancholy me-

fierce animal at prey. Glance at the
honored places in history that are as
signed to the Alexanders, the Caesars,
the Khans and the Napoleons, not to
mention our own illustrious Grant. If
the great cause of human nature, If the
triumphs of enlightened public opin-
ion, if the dread Of soyereigns under
apprehension of encountering the force
of that opinion, or some other unknown
power, does not break the peace of the
last forty years, our country will find
no place in the pages of history 200
years from now. What glorious thing
is battle contested from the rising to
the setting of the sun Of a summers
day! What heart would not exult at
such a grand spectacle! Gentlemen,
take my word for it, war is a necessary
element for the welfare of our country.
Until we have war, never again will we

women's Hair Improving.

1t is now said that women's hair is
becoming more beautiful in color every
year, and Is also growing thicker and
longer This is said to be due to the
small, light bonnets that women wear
Certain it is that air and sunshine i'm

Sun bleaches the hair, and Venetian
beauties always dried their ruddy locks
in the sun, thereby getting that tint so

course sunshine win not bleach dark
hair. but it gives deeper color to all
kinds of tresses, and will brighten dull
brown hair.

Decline in Tobacco Market.

At Edgerton, a marked decline in the
movement of the 81 crop has taken place
and indications point to the withdrawal
of most of the buyers from the field for
the present at least. The balance of the
crop unsold is largely held at prices high
er than the dealers are disposed to pay.
Considerable tobacco has been received
during the week, but most of the con-
tracts are now in. There is plenty of
bundle leaf in sight to keep the ware
houses running several weeks.

GIVE OPINIONS ON SHIPS
Mckay Says Transports Were as Good
as Could he Observation-Disclosures
manga Headquarters Dirty.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-At today's ses-
sion of the War Investigating commission
the examination Of Captain Mckay was con-
tinued. Captain Mckay Indignantly denied
any OF the public statements regarding the
filthy condition OF the transports. He cited
the case OF the Allegheny particularly. The
condition Of that vessel had been criticised
especially, yet he insisted that it was one Of
the best ventilated and best cared for ships
of the transport fleet.
He himself came north on the Seneca. The
vessel was crowded with sick soldiers from
Siboney. He admitted that many Of the SOL
ders were berthed between decks; that the
water was unpalatable. caused by the roll
ing Of the ship, and that the soldiers suf-
fered other discomforts, but many Of the
crew were sick and there were extenuating
circumstances. In conclusion he gave 1t as
his opinion that when the expedition sailed II
had ample facilities for landing. The diffi-
culties subsequently encountered were due
to the loss of some Of the lighters and tug
en- route and the rough waters in the harbor
at Siboney.

chief engineer on General Brooke's staff, fol-
lowed Captain Mckay. He criticised the

RESULT OF THE EXPANSION POLICY.
Claims for Redress and Losses from
Foreign Sources.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The United States
government Is being called upon to face
some questions of interest, resulting from
the expansion policy. The British govern
ment some time before the annexation Of
Hawaii to the United States filed with Ha-
wall a number Of claims for redress for the
il-treatment and illegal confinement Of Brit
ish subjects involved in the revolutionary
movement which overthrow the queen. These
amount to several hundred thousand dollars
in the aggregate and the question Is. the
Hawiian government having failed to settle
them, whether the United States government
does not inherit liability. The claims are
lust such as were filed by the late Secretary
Gresham against the Hawaiian government
In behalf of a number OF American citizens.
most of which later turned out to be aliens
None of our claims were pressed. but they
formed the foundation for the British
caimss
Another question Of more Importance Is the
determination OF the status OF some OF our
newly acquired citizens or subjects. Al
ready Chinaman by birth, but Philippine
by citizenship, has applied for recognition as
on American citizen. Another Chnaman In
Hawaii wants q passport showing he Is a
citizen Of the United States. The annexa-
tion law prohibits the coming into the limits
of the United States Of Chinese persons from
Hawaii, but the constitutionality Of any act
that proposes to discriminate among Ameri-
can citizens has been raised and this China
man is a citizen by adoption. These are q
few of the questions that have already arisen
and Others are expected TO follow In the near
future.
