"Reminiscences of 1so;.

In all ages there have been conser-
vative forces and progressive forces
among men. That is truism But
1t is interesting to note how very fool
ish some of the arguments of the con-
servative forces look when the pro-
gressive forces have had their way.
In 1905 there was strife over the
question of the Louisiana purchase.
The project of purchasing the whole
western half of what is now this coun-
try was looked upon with much dis
favor and. suspicion by wise men in
both branches of Congress. They said
that it was too large a tract for any
one nation to have; none of the ma
tions on the European continent had
any such unconscionable amount of
territory, and they should like to know.
for their part, what these harebrained
and extravagant advocates of wildcat
national policy expected to do with it
all. They inquired how it could be
possible for a nation to exist, one-half
of which spoke English and the other
half, when 1t spoke anything at all,
spoke French and Indian. They want
ed to know If the children of the good
Americans who then composed the
nation would not inevitably migrate to
regions beyond the Mississippi and be-
come savages and outlaws leaving the
hard-won independence of the young
Republic to be upheld by old men and
women. 1t was altogether preposter-
GUS WAS this idea of ACQUISITION of an
immense amount Of territory which
nobody knew anything about, and
they considered that the people who
forced the Government into such q
bargain were very gravely culpable.
But that was not all. 1t was Sc
riOusly doubted by these worthless
whether such white elephant would
be worth keeping. even were it to be

sidered that fifteen millions of dollars
must be paid by the United States for
a lot OF land 1t did not want. then,
truly. things were going to wrack and
ruin. Fifteen millions of dollars for
territory that was not worth one
good farm in a settled, civilized COM
munIty! 1t was awful!
At that time, the men who had ex-
plored our western territory to any
extent. and returned to tell the tale.
could almost be counted on the fingers
of two hands. The tales they told
were not encouraging. There were In
dians with uncomfortable scalping
proclivities. whereas the thirteen col
onies had already taken something
like two hundred years to calm into
inoffensiveness the Indians within
their own limits. and that with all the
help which King Georges army could
give. There was a perfectly impos-
sible range of mountains with all sorts
of wild animals secreted in their for
ests, and there was a tremendous
desert, impossible to anything but the
camel. The staid burghers from Vir-
ginia and New Jersey tried to imagine
themselves bobbing about on the
humps of dromedaries, in the midst OF
binding sun and scorching wind, lift
ed their hands to heaven. and shudder-
ed. They sarcastically asked If 1t was
intended that a caravan line should
be established from New York to the
western coast, for the purpose Of trade
with Cathay. And finally, Yne men,
ber from the Mosquito STATE gravely
arose and made a speech in which he
with all the accuracy
of mathematical genius. that even
granting the best possible outcome of
this extraordinary idea. there could
never be any States on the western
coast of this country, because the
senator's and congressman from those
States would consume exactly three
hundred and forty-two days in going
and coming. to and from Washington,
which would leave each man a little
more than three weeks to divide be-
tween his constituents and his duties
at Washington!
Some of the strenuous opponents to
territorial extension on this side of the
earth. and advocates of alliances on
the other side. will do well to ponder
on these arguments of less than a cen-
tury ago Their own arguments may
look quite as funny in much less time
than that.

mysterious attempt to influence public
opinion in London, through circulars
distributed in the streets during the
busiest hours, began yesterday evening.
While the theaters were emptying many
men were employed in handing dodgers
of yellow paper. with large headlines
reading: why the United States is Max
ing War Upon SPAIN
Under this heading were extracts from
the remarks recently made by Mr.. Ed
mard J. Phelps. who. as United States
minister at London. and who. from le-
gal standpoint. expressed the opinion that
the United States was not justified in GO
ing to war with Spain. These extracts
were accompanied by quotations from al
legged pro-Spanish newspapers printed in
America and pro-Spanish papers printed
in Great Britain.
Up to the present II has been impossible
to ascertain who is financing this street
