Today Old Glory stands for the larger

The American nation is entering upon
a new era of reatness-greatness that

RED MEN.

Next Wednesday evening is the date
set for the first annual banquet OF the
Past Sachems' association of Rhode
Island, and The outlook that II will be
an overwhelming success is decidedly
good. All the great chiefs will take
p.lr In lne anair. and. as has before
been stated every Red Man in the
state should be present because occa-
sions where they can all get together
for enjoyment are very rare in this
state. In fact almost too rare.
At the council fire of Mashassuck
tribe, which was kindled on the even
ing OF Aug. oath at its wigwam. the
warrior degree was conferred upon one
candidate.
A special committee made a report,
and IL was announced that the social
committee were arranging TO hold a
series of social events during the COM
ing winter, upon a scale never before
approached by the tribe, and Ii can be
said that, judging from the character
OF the men who compose this commit
tee. the statement that these sccials
will excel will not fall far short of full
hllment.
At the council fire OF Ossamequin
tribe, which occurred Monday evening,
not much business was transacted, and
the attendance was light. but the ar
rangements for the expected fall work
were completed and, after the sick had
been provided for, the pipe OF peace
was smoked and long talks had.

acted favorably upon by Pocasset tribe

heat was responsible for u light at

The council fire of Narragansett
tribe will be kindled Monday evening,
and IT Is thought that there will be
work upon several tenderfeet. 1t is
said that the members in general are
showing renewed interest in the doings
of the tribe, and that the officers are
feeling much encouraged In conse-

notice an increase.

Whatever form the proposition will
take for putting IL into operation, there
is widespread confidence, both in this
country and abroad. that the Nicaragua
canal will be built and that II will be
controlled by the United States govern
ment.
1t remained for the war to develop
this sentiment, although the use of the
canal in time Of war is only one OF the
features of its desirabllity. And our
new acquisitions In the Pacific, because
of the Spanish war. give new force
to the argument for canal building In
the interests of our commerce.
With an expanding trade in the
Orient. which must be developed on
lines Of the greatest economy to sue
cessfuIly compete. to say nothing of the
demand for quicker and cheaper trans
portation facilities by water between
our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and be-
tween the latter and Europe, the COM
mercial necessity OF the interoceanic
canal rises fully to the Importance OF
the military expedency. And OF all
the routes proposed for such communi-
cation that OF the Nicaragua canal
chiefly commends itself. There are sew
eral routes which have been proposed
and two at least upon which work has
been done. The Tehuantepec route has
been proposed for a railway to carry
ships across that isthmus, but no work
has been begun on 1t. The Panama
canal is known as one of the most stu
pendous failures of this era. The Darien
route for canal south Of Panama has |
been surveyed, but no attempt has yet
been made to build canal. The Mica
ragua route remains as the one to
which the whole world seems now TO
look to solve the problem of inter-
oceanic communication, while II is far
rom impossible that the Panama canal
viii some day be completed.
Rights over the Nicaragua route are
oday claimed by private corporation
hartered by Congress which is said
o have an exclusive grant from the
Nicaragua government to build and
perate canal for period OF ninety
Inc years. The company has sought
overnment aid unavallingly and many
Importers OF the canal project feel that

less he likes to tuck them up in front of
him. or dispose of them elsewhere on the
framework of the carriage. The driver
sits behind on box, used for slowing
away small packages inside and for tax

A stoljaerre is intended for two per-
sons and driver, 1t is a rough cart,
and again the driver sits behind. Very
often these drivers are tiny lads. You may
get one of about eight in somes places.
when the men are busy at the harvest,
and 1t is usual when two conveyances
are required by the same party, to eN-
pect one of the travellers to drive the sec
ond conveyance.
As the little yellow ponies know the
routes inch for inch, and as il is the
custom when numbers of conVeyances
are going the same way for them to form
very long procession, there is not much
need for crack whip. A trille is rarely
seen. 1t carries four persons and is more
or less like "A small English barouche.
