An Evolution Of Ideas,

From the Providence Journal.
To those who oppose the annexation of
the Philippines on the ground that we did
not intend to annex them when we went to
war with Spain the address of Mr.. E. B.
Haskell of Boston in that city Tuesday
evening is commended. NO country" he
said, ever came out of war with IDENTICAL
ly the same ideas with which it went into
1t. Thus there was at the outset no sug-
gestion of separation from the mother
country in the war of the revolution; it was
to escape unjust taxation. In the war of
the rebellion the issue at the beginning was
not the freeing of the slaves; it was the
question as to the right of secession" AS
Lowell says: New occasions teach new
duties. Time makes ancient good un-
couth.' One trouble with the anti-expan-
sionists is that the development of their
intellectual processes was arrested some
months ago, and it is impossible for them
to quote the poet again. to keep abreast
of truth"

The foreigners recognize our supremacy
in iron and steel. AS result, il Is said
that q constant stream of foreign engineers
and technical men are passing through
Pittsburg to study the secrets of trade
One part of the secret-whfch can never
be cOunterfeited or copied-is found in the
deposits of ore in Wisconsin and Minnesota
and the deposit of coal from which the
celebrated Conneiisvilie coke is made
These are not to be matched in the world,
and as long as they hold out the United
States will be the leader In the manufac-
ture of iron and steel. Foreigners can copy
the mechanical part of the business, but
what nature has done can not be initiated.

And now comes another genius
and says he can make sawdust

Victor L. Emerson and his inven-
ton is a process for carboniziug
sawdust and extracting the bY-pro

ments in one of the largest sawmill
plants in Canada is. said to have
demonstrated the fact that the 500
tons or more of sawdust and refuse
which the mills of this plant haYe
been throwing away daily, are
worth $50 per ton. This is enough
to make the average man catch his
breath with surprise and produce
in the cynic a smile.

their votes for their Individual
