tion on earth. We have an excellent be- ginning. Ship for ship we need fear no- body. But we must build ships with true American energy. Nothing must deter us. We know that we have the men to put behind the guns The glorious victories of our navy have brought us new responsibili- ties, but the Philippines or the Sandwich Islands are not more isolated than are parts of our Pacific coast. Hereafter our power must be felt in the Pacific ocean. The mere addition of few hundred square miles of territory by capture or treaty does not increase our danger.
 You understand I afn on record as fa- voring the retention of territory that has been acquired by the splendid victories or our arms. I am an American citizen' speaking as such, and my remarks have nothing to do with official duties that l shall undertake on October as commits sioner to the Congress of Paris.
 What that body will or will not do, l would not predict if I could. I am talking of the situation as 1t exists today, and as every American citizen can see 1t. The in- terests of the United States must be jeal- ously guarded from this onward We have been remiss and indifferent in the past Think of the Virginius massacre. That was the hour in which we should have taught Spain her lesson.
 How do you suppose similar massacre of American citizens in Havana would be received this afternoon? Why our war ships would be on their way to that port before midnight. That's the difference. And 1t is well. It is as it should be.
 "The United States has ceased to be the China of the western continent; we are alive, thank God, and must not be insulted by any power in this world great or small.
 That's the difference between the United States of the '70s and today.
 And Is not the change one that ought to make every patriot glad? Wars are in- evitable-or all history is false. Steam power has broadened their arena. No na- tion is safe. Japan triumphed over China, but was robbed of most of its value to the victorious nation by the intervention of a

 Sanders and Culver were arrested near Bankston in March last, where they were said to be operating. The counterfeit is al- leged to have been half dollar bearing dates of 1846 and 1S54 About $20O of the spurious coin was found hid in a hollow stump near where the men were arrested
 Sanders was arrested for passing three of the pieces, while the evidence against Croker is circumstantial, although the off, cers claim that 1t is strong. The men were held by the state authorities and tried and convicted at Fayette for a violation of a state law. They were sentenced to term at Coalburg which they have just finished serving.
 The counterfeiting case against them was worked up by Special Agent Patrick Looby of the secret service department. Both men claim to hail from Pickens county and firmly deny their guilt.
