Then And Now.

President Mckinley has been one of the
most persistent workers for the annexation of
Hawaii, yet he said in his Inaugural Address
ave want no wars of contest; we must
avoid the temptation ofterritorial aggression. -
He is forcing the doctrine and policy of I'M
perialsm, and will no doubt favor an alliance
with England and Japan unless he is held up
by public opinion. His Administration is far
away from the safe landmarks and guide posts
that has kept this country generally at peace

Notes on England's Experience
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Hawaiian annexation, for which the House
voted so strongly, is now admitted by both
its friends and foes to be but letting out of the
waters If we take Hawaii, we take the
Philippines. Once hoisted over those, our
flag is then to fly over the Caroline Islands,
and, of course, the very name OF the Ladrones
(robber islands, will impel us to take them
next. That may content us for time as far
as the Pacific is concerned, but in the Allan
tic. as Mr.. Deliver frankly avowed in the de-
bate, we are to seize and keep Porto Rico
and Cuba and it will be strange indeed if
that badly governed and inviting island lying
between the two, San Domingo and Hayti,
does not follow them under our flag, as Il
writer in the Contemporary asserts that it will.
Those, then, are the present modest limits of
what is variously called the Imperial policy
commercial expansion" and colonial ag-
grandizement.'
This momentous change of policy we are
urged upon largely by arguments drawn from
the experience of England. Great Britain
has colonies, is an empire, is rich and power
fulr ergo, if we would be rich and powerful,
we, too. must have colonial possessions.
There are many ways Of replying to this rea-
sonlng Perhaps as good way as any is to
cite what Englishmen themselves have said of
the colonies as the source of England's power.
A private letter of Disrael has lately come to
light in which he spoke of the colonies as a
milestone about England's neck. Lord Sails
bury only a few weeks ago warned the Lords
that the strength of England was already dang
erously taxed by her foreign dependencies.
Mr.. Chenery, long editor of the London
Times, declared of the colonies: ''They are
not feeders. but suckers" So much for con-
servatives-the imperialists of imperalists.
What John Bright thought of the colonies,
and particularly of Imperial federation,
may be put in phrase of his own. He said
in 1884 that the ideas then afoat on the sub
ject were ''equally visionless and valueless. "
But the great liberal statesman remains to be
quoted. Mr.. Gladstone said in 1894, as re-
ported by Lionel Tollemache
II have always maintained that we are
bound by ties of honor and conscience to our
colonies. But the idea that the colonies add
TO the strength of the mother country appears
to me to be as dark a superstition as any that
existed in the middle ages"

A New Variety of Wheat.

d. II. Snyder, farmer of Clarke county,
Virginia, has upon his farm about an acre of
wheat which is quite a novelty. Mr. Snyder
purchased some years ago part of the es-
tate of the late General Fauntleroy. Among
other things he found on the place were a
few grains of wheat of unusual size. These
he planted and cultivated. The wheat stands
fully feet high, the stem is as large as a
lead pencil, the blades an inch in width, with
from FIVE to eight distinct heads on each
stem, each stem producing from IS to l25
grains of twice the ordinary size.

THE SNARLING GERMANS
RABID ANTI-AMERICAN EDITORS AT
TEMPTING TO HEDGE.
Throwing Out Hints that This Coun-
try Must Not Reach Out If 1t Holds
to the Monroe Doctrine.

LONDON, July 4.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Times says: German public
opinion and the German press, which are
not always identical, are now thoroughly
awakened to the inconvenience of the posi-
ton in which German policy has been
placed by unfortunate articles on the sub
ject of the Philippines. The papers are now
trying to explain the matter away. The
Cologne Gazette entirely evades the point
when in a long article on the nervousness
of the United States it tries to show that
the real grievance of the Americans is the
lack Of sympathy displayed in Germany for
the Americans cause. Both the Cologne Ga
zette and the National Gazette publish long
articles explaining that it is not surpris-
Ing that the German papers criticised
America at the beginning of the war, but
that this course was necessitated neither by
the dictates of national honor nor anxiety
as to the future of the Philippines. The
National Gazette considers it ludicrous to
discuss a partition of a bears skin before
the bear is killed. We Europeans it says,

vention of Europe. With all their dislike of

they had leave at night they used to go

and making profane and abusive remarks
about Spain. They were crazy to be let
loose on the Spaniards and they fought like
heroes when the time came.
A pleasant characteristic of the man-of-
wars man is his invariable willingness to
furnish news to inquiring reporters. If the
newsgatherer will only give him tip as to
the sort of matter wanted the response will
be prompt. Some exclusive reports of
battles and bombardments printed in New
York papers were obtained by interviewing
the sailors. The officers of incoming ships
generally tell the reporters what has hap
pened on the cruise. but often the voyage
has been too uneventful, in which case
jealous correspondent gets fake particu-
lars from the forecastle. The sailor is very
happy when the paper comes out with his
yarn in it and feels fully repaid for his
trouble in inventing it.

served two terms as mayor when the city

only one Cuban was brought before him as
police magistrate to answer for drunken
ness. In the parts of the city inhabited by
Cubans there are no saloons at all and no
policemen are needed in these parts of
town. The Key West Cuban is the most
peaceful, law-abiding person imaginable.

PHILADELPHIA Record.

In the Maryland Medical Journal. June 10.
1897, Cathell gives rules for the reduction of
obesity which have been successful in his
practice for many years
"Over-fatness'' is commonly due he says
to one of. the following causes: Congenital-
ly small lungs with defective oxygenating
capacity; eating excessively of all kinds of
food; want of lung-expanding exercise; US
ing alcoholic drinks to excess.
Many of the drugs which have a known
fat-reducing power exert an injurious ac-
ton on the other tissues of the body, and
if used persistently for any length of time
or in efficient doses become dangerous to
health. While the various obesity cures are
so rigorous that few carry them out con-

John Nordhaus, of Vincennes, has brought
suit for his salary and expenses during the
past year. The order is Incorporated under

will practically decide the question which
has split the Uniformed Catholic knights.
1t is claimed that Kadesh was deposed IL
legally by an unauthorized gathering of a
clique of officers opposed to him. The result
has been that half 'of the communicates in
the country support Kadesxi and the other
half support Nordhaus, much to the disor-
ganization of the order. The Knights are
the official military body of the Catholic
Church in this country and the suit will be
of great interest to all Catholics. kadeski

CAMP ALGER, Va, July 3.-The word
was brought to camp to-day that the War
Department had decided that volunteer regi-
ments should have only two majors. This
means that Major Isouden, Of Bloomington
will lose his position and Lieutenant Colonel
George w. Mccoy will be placed in charge
of the Third Battalion. The other junior
majors in all volunteer regiments will be
discharged.
1t was reported that an assistant surgeon
would be sent from each regiment TO Cuba
within the next few days and that Dr.
Eugene Hawkins, OF the ne-hundred-and-
fifty-ninth. had been named. DIR. Hawkins
had rot received any order to this effect
tonight.
The Fourth will be celebrated tomorrow
by many or the regiments with special
programmes. None has been arranged for
the Observation-Disclosures d-fifty-ninth.
The indications are that the time of the
afternoon drill will be changed to a later
hour owing TO the extreme heat of the day
The medical department has recommended
that the afternoon drill be cut down a half
hour and be called later in the day.

major in each of the volunteer regiments,

Well-posted officers say that the present de-

the end: that every day is adding to the
efficiency of the men. 1t is a hard matter
to convince the men of this fact. 1t has
long since been admitted that the One-hun-
