After nearly twenty years, William
Blaikie has brought out a new edition OF
his famous classic in athletics on How to
Get Strong" and in this new work the
broad subject of athletics is presented in a
manner far more comprehensive than the
ordinary writer on this topic ventures upon.
Mr.. Baikie has drawn literally from the
worlds store of great men to illustrate his
contention that great bodies have done much
toward making great men. and the book it,
self is dedicated to Gladstone who. the au-
thor asserts, was developed in an excellent
physical mold That Gladstone chewed
every mouthful of food thirty-two times,
and that Gladstone did this and that, are
all cited to illustrate the well-rounded phys
zeal life of the grand old man. brought
about by his own physical care and thought
fulness. Not only does Mr.. Blaikie set forth
an excellent argument for physical exer-
else, an argument that seems rather trite
now that everybody believes in It, hut he
points out the best exercises and shows the
results they will produce on the different
parts of the body. He lays stress on the
vigor that may be obtained by men in mid
die life by devoting a part of each day to a
prescribed course of exercise. The book is
a valuable one on athletics Harper e.

THE CONSTITUTION AND EXPANSION.

OF all the arguments against national eN-
pansion the weakest is the constitutional
argument. There are arguments of some
weight and worth considering against the
acquisition of the Philippines but the UNI
constitutionality of the step is not one of
them
1t is a curious fact that in almost every
important new departure in the Nations
history the Constitution has been raised as
a bar and has as invariably been ignored
or set aside This has never been done de-
family or disrespectfully, but in accordance
with a principle which recognized the well
fare OF the Nation and the will of the peo-
pie as an imperative rule of constitutional
construction. The express provisions of the
Constitution are not to be disregarded on
any pretext under any circumstances,
but in the absence of express provisions
it should be construed in favor of national
progress. The Constitution should not be
construed for the purpose of keeping the
Nation in swaddling clothes nor used as
bar to its growth in any direction. 1t used
to be quoted I'm opposition to protection.
but the people disposed of that contention
long ago and now protection is recognized
as strictly constitutional and highly bene-

would be. at least should be. the end of all
talk about Spanish honor. yet it is difficult
to see how 1t can be avoided. Her public
debt is now far beyond the ability of Spain
to carry and with accruing interest and
other liabilities must be increasing rapidly.
On June 80 1897, it was stated to be S,91l OO0,-
900 pesetas. or $l,7S2. 300 900. and it has been
largely increased during the last year, while
her resources have been diminished by the
loss of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. The "readjustment'' Of this enor-
nous debt means it's reputation in whole or
in part. This prospect may well disturb the
holders Of Spanish securities. but it will give
foreigners something else to talk about than
the reputation by Mississippi long time
ago and the ''readjustment'' of Virginias

compared with the gigantic reputation

CAN 1T BE RATIFIED.

Assuming that the Spanish commissioners
will accept the proposition of the President,
made by our commissioners at Paris. the
next question OF interest is the probable
fate of the treaty in the Senate. Can the
two-thirds necessary to the ratification of
treaty be obtained? The Hawaiian treaty,
involving annexation, could not have been
ratified by the present Senate. If it should
be made party question the Republicans
have not even a majority. Furthermore,
there is every reason to believe that few
Republican senators will be among the most
strenuous opponents of the Philippine fea-
lures of the treaty. 1t is claimed that near
ly half of the New England senators are
hostile, all of whom are Republicans Two
Republican senators in the Northwest are
said to be opposed. Whatever influence
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has in the
Senate will be exerted in favor of ratifica-
ton of the treaty, but it is given out by
Southern papers which should know that
most of the senators in that section are
against the treaty. With such reports it
does not seem probable that the treaty will
be ratified by the present Senate.
President Mckinley may be able to pre-
sent the advantages of holding the Philip
pines in manner that will lead senators to
vote for it as a matter of policy He doubt
less has very strong reasons for being in
favor of possession of the islands. 1t is
possible that the President may have more
accurate information regarding the action
of the Senate than have outsiders who
form conclusions upon less reliable Informal
ton.
Because the President is so much in earn
est to secure the acceptance of his offer by
the Spanish commissioners. it will not do to
assume that he is confident that the two
thirds of the Senate necessary to ratify
will favor it, since failure to negotiate the
treaty would compel the President and Con-
gress either to appear to accept the refusal
of Spain as settlement or to begin hostilites
again to capture the Philippines. If the
Senate should refuse to ratify the proposed
treaty then the responsibility OF leaving the
Philippines to Spain, to be sold to some
European government or to involve them
in difficulty, would be assumed by that
body
In the event that the provisions of a
treaty relative to the Philippines should not
be ratified, the provisions of the protocol
relating to Porto Rico and Spain will stand
just the same as if the treaty as proposed
by the President had been ratified

In the early period of American humor-
lists, perhaps one might say professio nal
humorists, Artemus Ward was considered
easily the chief This was partly because
he was a pioneer in a new field but his
humor did have decided and distinctive
merit. Nevertheless the appearance of a
new edition of THE Complete Works of
Artemus Ward serves to remind one on
how slender "a foundation an enduring repu-
tation may be made. All of the published
writings of the author-whose real name,
by the way, was Charles Farrar Brown
may be easily put within the scope Of this
single volume, and it is not a large one
either Yet, moderate as it is in bulk, its
size might have been reduced by leaving
out a good deal that it contains. For, if
the truth must be told, Artemus Ward
wrote a great deal that had only transient
value, even as humor, and which has be-
come antiquated if not obsolete. Humor
loses its SAVIOR quickly, and much that
ArtemuS Ward wrote was OF an artleSs
unprecedented sort that would not Keep

is shown by the fact that a considerable
part of this authors popularity lay in his
eccentric spelling and bad grammar-fea-
lures which scarcely figure at all in the
