SOUTHAMPTON. Eng. Dec. l9.-To the
interviewers who besieged the Ameri-
can peace commissioners before they
sailed for New York on board the Amer
lean line steamer St. Louis. the commits
sioners said they could not discuss the
terms Of the treaty OF peace with Spain.
Whitelaw Reid and Judge Day. Were
much interested in the interview Of the

1t Is Our Duty to Extend the
Blessings of Our Civilization
Where Possible.
Imperialism About the Worst
Word That Could Have Been
Found.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-"Expansion
Of Civilization was the topic of the ad.
dress of Hon. David ]. Hill, assistant
secretary Of state. at the annual banquet
of the Baptist Social union.
This year." said Mr.. Hill, lis one of
the most important of the century. To
some this period is the beginning Of an
era of imperialism. A malignant dispo.
sition could not have selected a worse
word than imperialism. A better word,
which expresses the true condition, is
expansion. 1t is not a new one and the
idea is not novel. 1t existed since the in.
ception of national growth. Civilization
must go on until there is not one island,
one province. one individual upon which
its benign light does not fall. Europe.
congested, is seeking new outlets
tor trade and commerce after each has
been taken up. and now European ma
tions are dividing the empires Of the
East. If not now. when ard how can
America expand. when .hreefourths of
the globe are appropriated? 1t is a
choice between expansion nov or ex.
pansion never.
But | am asked what is to become Of
the principle of self government. if the
people TO be governed are not accorded
the right TO say what shall be their form
Of government and who shall administer
il: To this. say hat nations as we'll
as individuals must pass through the
periods of minority. 1t was so with
this nation. See how closely our fore
fathers guarded the right of franchise.
All constitutional lawyers agree that
the franchise is not a natural right. but
that it is Il legal gift. The natural
rights are life. liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. and cannot believe that
j. is an evil for the Stars and Stripes to
float over any people. and it is therefore
L duty TO extend the blessings of our
civilization to all men capable of re.
Ceiving them"

Omaha Jurist Renders n Decision Against
Exposition Managers.
OMAHA. Dec. 19.-Judge c. R. Scott
decided the celebrated exposition con-
tempt case in the district court here.
The decision was delivered in the char
acteristic custom Of that iurist. For
two hours Judge Scott lectured a num-
Der of Omaha's prominent men, and
concluded by assessing fines, penalties
and premiums in excess of $50. 900 and
disbarring for all time Carroll Mont
gomery, the general attorney Of the Ex-
position company. Those on trial were
President Wattles, Managers Rosewater,
Babcock, Reed, Burr, Lindsay and
kerkendall. General Manager Clarkson.
General Attorney Montgomery, Com
mandant of the Guard Llewellyn and
Inspector Wadley. The case has been
Oh trial for 80 days and has attracted
more attention than anything Of the
kind ever brought up in the state.
The case grew out of Z quarrel be-
tween the Oriental attractions at the
Exposition as to who had the exclusive
right to give exhibitions on the ground.

Forner Parliamentary Privale~e..

Former Parliamentary Privileges.
The privilege Of freedom from arrest
enjoyed by members Of parliament ID
confined to, civil matters; but, since the
abolition Of imprisonment for debt, this
immunity has been shorn Of most OF it's
utility. Formerly it was = very useful
privilege. Disraeli says Of one Of the
characters in his first novel, "vivian
Grey" that 1.-THE only way to keep him
ont Of the house Of correction was to
get him into the house of commons"
Parliament was then a convenient haven
of refuge for '~'splendid paupers."
In one ease an English member named
Mills, who owed G23, 900 and for whose
arrest a warrant was in the hands Of
the sheriff, avoided Imprisonment by
purchasing a seat for one of the old
"rotten %boroughs" in 1907 for the sum
Of 81, 600. In another case an Irishman
named Bourke was confined in the
Kings Bench prison about 20 years
ago in execution for a considerable debt.
HE friends got him elected for an Irish
constituency, but he never entered the
house. On his release after election
he fled to the continent and remained
there.
Again in 1895 the year before Dis
raeli published "Vivian Grey man
who was in prison for debt was returned
for Bererley, a small Euglish borough,
and was forthwith released on q war
rant issued by Mr.. Speaker. It was a
case in real life Of from the house of
correction to the house Of commons

Mr.. Bonaparte severely criticized

tons prevailing were the legitimate

''To Hon. John B. Gordon, Command

Grams. Atlanta, Ga.
Dear General Gordon: Your re-
cent telegram in behalf of the United
Cpnfederate Veterans was very vel
come, and / would have written to
you before IN acknowledgements, eX
cepting for the unusual demands upon
my time.
The present war has certainly
served one very useful purpose, in
completely Obliterating the sectional
lines drawn in the last one. The re-
Spouse to the nations call to arms has
been equally spnp taneOus and patriot
ic in all parts of the country. Veter-
ans OF the gray, as well as Of the blue,
are now fighting side by side, winning
equal honor and renowD. Their brave
deeds and the unequalled triumphs OF
| our army and navy have received the
gratitude Of the people Of the United
States.
ITO have such hearty commenda-
tion from yourself and your colleae ues
| of the work Of this administration in
the conduct of the war, and the pledge
| Of what ever support may be needed to
| bel p in bringing it to successful COM
| pletiOn, is indeed most gratifying, and
| thank you especially for the frank
and cordial expression Of the resolu-
| tions passed and forwarded to me.

ThrOnOh the Medium that Reaches the P6OnIe
FROM CAMP CUBA LIBRE.
John Chapman Writes About Things
in General at Jacksonville.

John Chapman writes n friend here
an interesting letter from Camp Cuba
Libre, Jacksonville. Among other
things he says:
Uncle Sam gave us barrel of
syrup this week and we all ''swectencd
up" on it. There are no words in the
English language that can tell how
happy we were while eating syrup and
discussing among ourselves the pros
poets of an early return home.
We had a pretty hard rain Tuesday
night and Mr.. w. H. Chick and his
comrades had a narrow escape from
drowning in their tents. We rode the
waves in our night clothes bravcly
for about two hours and we finally
escaped by floating out of our tents
on pouches. Notwithstanding all this
we are all happy and doing well.
Another mysterious pig appeared
in camp few days ago. What be-
come of him is not known by this
writer. Three members OF Capt. Bes-
sent's company are @rumbling because
they have to eat fat meat three times
a day, but | notice that if they can
find a nice fat pig anywhere in the
neighborhood they can always find "a
train to kill him." even if they are
not in ten miles of a railroad.
There was considerable excitement
in camp Tuesday afternoon. The
Regimental Guard OF the First Wis
consin regiment was called out twice,
when it was learned that a number of
the soldiers were engaged in what is
termed doing the Chicamauga act.
A number of soldiers made a success
full raid on one of the stands near the
camp, scattering the stock in every
direction. 1t appears that the sol
dicrs had grievance against two
German Jews who had Il stand near
the camp. They tried to get away,
but n crowd of shouting soldiers gath
cred around the stand and cigars,
cakes, fruit and everything that the
boys could lay hands on was thrown
out, while a great many of the boys
deliberately ate as much as they could
get hold of. Only one policeman was
on the beat, and he was as helpless as
a child.
The men afterwards got a blanket
and caught one of the negroes who
was loaiing around, and amused
themselves by tossing him in the air.
The boys have another place spotted
and will make raid on it some time
soon.
| would send you a graphophonc
with dinner conversation on il, but
| am afraid it would shock your good
morals. You can tell all the boys if
they want to have good time join
the army and come down to Jackson

Farmers Can Make Gnd Roads.

John Gilmer Speed, writing on
"Hpw to Have Good Country
Roads" in the August Ladies' Home
journal. proposes that in each
county there be founded Road I'm
provement Association, which shall
have n one or two days meeting in
the autumn of each year. To the
membership and to the meetings all
the farmers should be invited, while
all those in the county acting as
road ovtrseers, or road supervisors,
should be urged especially to attend.
At these meetings special, definite,
practical instruction should be given
i'll aintaining and repairing dirt
roads Competent men to give such
instruction can be secured without
cost to such societies, tor the United
States Department of Agriculture
has Road bureau, and this bureau
will always supply a competent in
structor to tell the people just exact
ly what they need, and how to do
the work as it should be DONE" Mr..
Speed also urges that school children
be interested in the work and taught
the rudiments of BODYBUILDING and
road keeping.
