THE GREATER

General Shelley was right
when he said in an interview that
a new America is springing out
of the smoke of the Spanish con-
fict-that the old America OF
isolation and restraint is passing
away, never to return. The ad-
vice of Washington and Jefer-
son. wise in it's time, has become
inapplicable and unwise. AS a
matter of fact, Jefferson advo-
Gated the annexation Of Cuba;
and he took a republic bounded
by the Mississippi river. and exs
tended 1t in one great jingo efs
fort to the Pacific ocean. lie
swept in a rich empire without
blinking an eye. Napoleon was
so hard up that Jefferson was
able to do this without resort
ing to war, but it was a magnif-
cent piece of Americanlsm, of
jingoism, nevertheless.
What Jefferson did. and not
what his untiring and restless
pen wrote, is in the hearts of the
American people to-day. The
seeds of the revolution may have
been there a loug time, but
events have transformed those
seeds into a sentiment that all
can see and feel. A new spirit is
abroad in the land. A new Amer
lea has been born. It is this that
Gen. Shelley's trained eyes and
clear brain recognize as a fact.
The new America has not got
down to business details as yet,
but the indications are that it will
demand the retention of all that
American arms conquer, be it in
the West Indies or in the Pacific;
that it will include an inter-oceanic
canal and the annexation of Haw~
ali; that a close understanding, if
not an actual alliance, with our
British cousins in relation to an
open China will become as proba~
BILE as it certainly is desirable,
and that a better navy will be con-
sidered a measure of safety and
economy.
ALI these measures make for
the betterment of mankind. They
mean wider opportunities for the
home people-more employment,
more trade, more factories, more
commerce. They mean less So
cial unrest and more industrial &C
tivity. And the party that best
and soonest lives up to this recent
and marvellous revolution ia pub
lie sentiment is the party that will
carry the country in 1900.

War is costly savagery, and the
nations which engage in it must
levy heavy taxes upon the people to
sustain it. Our people bore with
patience the onerous taxes imposs
ed to prosecute the civil war.
Those takes lasted for many years,
but the taxes now about to be i'm
pose for the present war, are like
ly to be of short duration.
The chief wal taxes now about
to be levied will fall upon the con-
sumers of sugar, tea, OIL, tobacco
and cigars; upon purchasers of
tickets for travel in foreign coun-
tries and upon all dealers in real
estate and persons making busi-
ness covenants of any kind. In
addition to these, telegraph dise
patches are to be taxed, while the
new tax law lays a heavy hand
upon the life insurance companies
and the consumers of beer.
1t is expected that the new tax
law will be fully in operation by
the 1st of July, and many of it's
features will go into effect inn
mediateiy upon its approval by
the President. The revenue
counted on to be realized from
this law will be about $3.50. OOO,s
600, which with $500, OOo, 900 of
bonds and 800, 0O0, 900 of inter-
est-bearing notes, will probably
be sufficient to prosecute the war
for one year.
In plain English, we have a
war in hand that is likely to cost
a billion dollars, and the people
will not regret the expenditures if
it shall result, as now seems in
evitable, in the entire overthrow
of the Spanish rule in the vests
ern world, and teaching to all
nations the great lesson of toler-
ance and humanity.

the archipelago must be respected.
But the subsequent rise Of the ma
tives against the tax gatherers
seems TO have been largely attri-
buted by the S%paniards to the mis-
chievous Indictment or connivance
of the American missionaries. In
reality, the latter, it is said, had
tried to settle the ~quarrels, and
had also protected some opaniards
from violence.
The Carolines, then, present
themselves to US as a group of is
lands in which our countrymen
have been established, here and
there, for religious and philan-
thropic work, during more than
forty years. They cover a vast
area in the Pacific, stretching if
we include among them the Palaos
Or Pelew Islands, through more
than thirty degrees of longitude,
or from about 131 degrees east to
1853 degrees, while in lat1-
tude they are scattered from
one degree north OF the
equator to ten degrees, or,
if we should take In the Mariana,
group, which runs at right angles
to the Carolines, and north of
them, up to 20 degrees, the lati-
tude of Hawaii. We should, in
fact, take in the whole cluster of
islands between England's group,
the Marshalls, and our own, the
Philippines. Spain would have
been practically like a custodian
Of these possessions for us during
centuries, waiting until the time
for our assumtion of authority
over them should fall due.

dentist beaumont, Depressed by

Troubles, shoots Himself.

New York, Dec. eff l go out Of this
house I'll go in a coffin" Arthur Beau
mont said to his wife, and last evening
he was carried out in a coffin from No
50 West Eighty-second Street, a suicide.
He was dentist, fifty years old. His
widow is thirty-five. The couple had four
young children.
DIR. Beaumont lived in fashionable
apartment, and was regarded iu the
neighborhood as prosperous. Mrs. Beau
mont was much devoted TO the little ones
and was known TO the neighbors as a
happy woman, but on some occasions her
husband drank too much Then there
was unhappiness. He also smoked cigar
cites excessively.
His practice had been good, but some
times he was nervous in the morning He
was worried because 1t was hard to col
lect money from some of his patients
His practice declined and this worried
him. He had been for three years in the
house when he first neglected TO pay his
rent.
He drank more than usual then. At
last four months rent was due His wife
worried and asked him several days ago
what he intended TO do He said he could
not pay. The landlord threatened dispos-
sess proceedings! Beaumont said he had
no money.
If ! go out of this house I'll go in a
coffin. he said. Mrs. Beaumont attribut-
ed this assertion to depression. The dem
tist drank more. : He complained of Ill
health-insomnia and the like. His wife
suggested that he see his family physician
He said he would do So but he did not
DR.. Beaumont arose yesterday morning
at o'clock. The children and Mrs. Beau
mont We're already dressed A servant
was preparing breakfast. DR.. Beaumont
told the children to prepare for school
Mrs. Beaumont dressed them in their
white frocks and waited in the break
fast room for her husband. He did not
come.
Presently the report of q pistol was
heard in the bathroom. DIR. Beaumont
had gone to that apartment while his
wife thought he was dressing She ran
along the hallway far enough to see his
body lying on the floor Then she rang
the janitor's bell The janitor, Matthew
Bushell, ran upstairs and found DR.. Beau
mont dead. He had shot himself in the
heart. The revolver lay near him.
The janitor called a policeman and said
he had better take the pistol, lest Mrs
Beaumont, in her hysterical condition
should be tempted to do herself injury
This incident doubtless led to a report
that Mrs Beaumont had attempted TO
commit suicide.
The janitor persuaded Mrs Beaumont to
go into an adjoining apartment with her
children. The little ones were not old
enough to fully appreciate the tragedy
One of them, who heard someone say
something about the revolver used by her
father. said in innocence. Papa must
have got hold of my pistor'-a toy

Georgia.
