OUR COLONIES.

An interesting question now be-
ing discussed is whether the an
nexation of the Philippines brings
those islands into the union in
such a way as to make their in
habitants citizens Of the United
States with the reciprocal rights
and obligations of citizens. This
is one of the stumbling blocks to
the anti-expansionists, and they
make it one OF their strongest
pleas against annexation. They
say that "the moment new territory
is incorporated into the national
domain its inhabitants become
citizens of the United States, and
as such are entitled to all the
privileges and immunities Of citi-
zens of the several states
There is no warrant in the con-
stitution for any such conclusion,
for that instrument contains no
provision whatever in respect to
the incorporation of foreign ter
ritory into the Union. AS is we'll
known, when jefferson acquired
Louisiana he proposed a constitu-
tional amendment to ratify the act,
but the amendment was never
made. It has since been the con.
stitutional construction that new
territory may re acquired by virtue
Of the sovereign power of the
government and by that alone
The general rule Of international
law is that the inht.bi .ants of con-
quered territory change their al
legiance and their relation to their
former sovereign is dissolved, but
this does not mean they become
entitled to all the privileges Of the
citizens Of the country which has
conquered them. That depends
altogether on the will of the victor
There is therefore no argument
from international law that can
sustain the contention Of the anti
expansionists.
''The main opposition to the an
nexation Of the Philippines comes
from people who have all along
been opposed to the independence
of Cuba. They are disappointed
in the fact that Cuba has been
freed, and, in line with their views
on this subject, are opposed to the
acquisition Of the Philippines by
the United States. The cry OF
imperialism is misplaced one:
and is not only misunderstood, but
entirely unwarrauted."

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has made
it plain to senators and represen-
tatives who have called upon him
since Spain agreed to our terms
for the surrender of the Philip
pines to us that he has not made
up his mind what we ought to do
with the Philippines and will not
do so until we have had them un-
der military control long enough
to get the information necessary
to form an intelligent opinion.
That sort Of talk has Strengthened
the chances Of the treaty OF peace
FOR ratification at this session Of
congress, as it comedies with the
opinion Of three fourths of the
senator's regardless party. The
opinion is practically unanimous
that the taking Of the islands away
from Spain was the right thing to
do: but there the unauimity ends.
What short of a government will
follow our military rule of the
islands nobody can say at this
time, 1t will depend largely upon
public sentiment in this country
and that will be governed by
circumstances.

In the last issue of the Crystal
Call was an editorial which argued
in favor of making all educational
and judicial positions appointive
instead Of elective. The board of
railroad commissioners is another
position that Editor Minder argues
should be included in the list. It
is his opinion that with this added
responsibility resting with the
state executive greater care would
be taken by the people in selecting
q fitted man for the gubernatorial
chair. This is something that has
many good points both for and
against and no doubt time will be
given for it's consideration before
tho old regime is changed.

WITTY and Good.

The second wife Of DR.. Edward
Hodges, long the organist of Trinity
Church. New York, was a Miss Moore,
of New York, a woman of fine mind
and fascinating conversation. Like
many a devoted wife, she had to re-
member that before her marriage she
had laughed a little at the man who
was to be her husband. She vas at
once attracted by his appearance and
his dress. and yet her first comment
upon him was a ruthless one. She had
met him at the gate of her cousin, DR..
Clement Moore.
who is he?" she asked, going in.
why, Sarah," said her cousin, that
is the great Doctor Hodges!"
Dear me!' returned she, Il thought
it was an old Scotch peddler"!
And when she was married to him,
she ventured to pun upon his profession
and called him her "old English ped
aler." Another title given him by her
ever-ready tongue was "the ineffable
Hodges" because she loved Hodges in
F" more than any other service he
ever used. Their marriage was n Of
the greatest happiness, for clever as
she was in the intellectual side of life,
her character shone brightest in the
daily walks Of home. She was n of
those who are always giving without
stopping to think whether they re-
ceive, and her reward wal the constant
tribute of daily love.

A E E INTO AFRICA.
Marco Polo's Account of the Natives and
the Animals,

tNe AuIHAlSs
The eastern coast Of Africa was an
unknown region in Marco Polo's day,
and when he had travelled sc far to
the southern end of Asia tina: he be-
gan to get glimpses of Africa, he could
not believe that he heard reports from
the eastern side of that continent-ol
which he already knew something, as
it formed the southern border of the
Mediterranean Sea. So he speaks OF
Madagascar (Which he calls Madelgas-
car and Zanzibar (Which he calls Fang
hibar) as though they were parts OF
India. II we remember that Marco
was the first writer, European or ASIA
tic, to mention Madagascar by that
name, and almost the first to give the
world any information concerning tnat
unknown land, we may excuse the
fact that his geography is sometimes
mixed. But his descriptions OF tne
people and the animals of eastern Al
RIGA are pretty accurate, as may De
seen:
They are all black, their hair is as
black as pepper, and so frlzzly tnat
ven with water you can scarcely
straighten it. And their mouths are
SO large, their noses SO turned up, their
lips so thick, their eyes so big and
blood-shot, that they look like very
devils: they are in fact so hideously
ugly that the world has nothing 10
show more horrible.
There are also lions that are black
and quite different from ours. And
their sheep are all exactly alike in col
or; the body all white and h head
black; no other kind Of sheep is found
there, you may rest assured. IneS
have also many CRATES. This Is a
beautiful creature, and l must give you
a description of it. Its body Is short
and somewhat sloped to the rear, LOT
it's hind legs are short. while the fore
legs and the neck are both very long
and thus it's head stands about three
PAGES from the ground. The head is
small, and the animal is not at all mis-
chievous. Its color is all red and white
in round spots, and it is really a beau-
tiful object. The women of this island
are the ugliest in the world, with their
great mouths and big eyes and thick
noses. The people live on rice n
flesh and milk and dates; n tney
make wine of dates and of rice and OF
good spices and sugar. There Is a
great deal of trade, and many mer-
chants and vessels go thither.-c'The
True Story of Marco Polo." by Moan
