A FLOUR mill has been established
here of sufficient capacity to afford q
ready and good market for all the wheat
raised in the adjoining counties, and as
it is enabled to pay the highest quota
tions for all that may be sent to it, the
farmers in the counties referred to
would conduce 10 their OWE interest by
sending theirs direct 10 the miller here,
rather to more distant cities, and
thereby save extra freight and mer-
chants commissions. A good and re-
liable local market is always more
satisfactory than distant one.

WHEN PRESIDENT Mckinley wa:
inaugurated, he said be was Opposed
to wars for conquest and territorial ag-
grandizement" But his mouth-piece in
the U. S. House of Representatives
Mr.. Grosvenor, says he never expect:
TO ses the day when the American flag
shall be lowered by order of the Presi
dent, in any country where it has beer
planted by the army" But, from the
origin of the republican party unit
the present moment, the words of that
party have been one thing, and its
deeds another.

SENATOR MORRILL, of Vermont says
"The Hawaiian annexation scheme
hardly belongs to the present admins
tration, nor to the humanitarian war,
and the time may come when even its
present boldest advocates may not be
unwilling to have it more justly
known as an untimely seven-months'
offspring of some previous administra-
tion." But Senator Frye of Maine
says: "We must have Hawaii and a
Nicaragua canal" The real friends OF
the country agree with the former; its
enemies, with the latter, and, from the
way things are now going, it seems that
the latter compose the majority.

THOUGH NOT in accord with the ideas

THOUGH NOT in accord with the ideas
of the present military experts in the
Z. 5. army, it seems to those VINO DO
not pretend to be experts in such at
fairs. that the system Of brigadlng
troops for successful war has not been
adopted by those in control OF that
army. Brigades composed OF troops
from the same State have s. common
feeling, and such troops are naturally
DESTROYS of excelling other brigades in
deeds OF valor and courage, and as bat
ties are usually decided by brigades, and
not by regiments, the average soldier
thinks it would have been better il the
troops from each State had composed
the separate brigades, and, II possible
been commanded by their own people
But possibly the idea of the present sys-
tenn may have been to prevent the sol
diers from any State, or section, from
climbing too high on the ladder Of
glory.

The SPANIARDs may be effective
contestants on sea and land, but if the
accounts of the war in which they are
now engaged be true, it is plain that
they do not seem to be. The dangers to
which an army landing on an enemy
shore are necessarily subjected are uu-
told, and its opponents have it at great
disadvantage; but the landing of q
large body of troops at Santiago is
stated to have been made successfully
and without the loss ola single man

manders may be, they certainly could
