Helena Independent: The Massa-
chusetts Legislature has adopted the
Torrens system of land transfers, and
the bill has just been approved by the
governor. This proposition has been
before the Legislature of Massachu-
sets several years and its final adop-
ton is the result of careful thought
and elaboration and is accepted as a
decisive victory for the system. which
has beer making progress rather
slowly. Illinois adopteu the TOrreas
system Of land transfers a few years
ago, but practical operations under
it have been suspended pending the
settlement of various legal PROPOSE
tions before the supreme court, in

If when man suffers from the little ilJs
of life, he will resort to DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the chances are that he
will avoid the big and fatal illnesses. This
great medicine gives a man a healthv

juices, invigorates the liver, purifes and
enriches the blood and builds firm, muscu-

1t is an old saying that women are hard
to kill There is some truth in this, as far
as the majority of illnesses are concerned
There is one class of disorders, however,
that quickly undermine any woman's gen.

to bear the burdens of maternity. 1t is

CURRENT COMMENT.
"MANIFEST DESTINY. !"
(Manchester Mirror. }

OF all the catch phrases that are called
into use to befog the public mind as to
the causes and Conseq uenceS of the war
with spain, the least defensible is
manifest Destiny an ancient plea
which now, as heretofore, and here as
elsewhere, covers projects and plans that
the authors dare not make public, and
purposes that will not bare exposure-the
plea of the coward, the trickster, the
deniagogue and the pretendcr, who seek
to shift upon the Creator the responsible
ty for crimes which they intend to COM
nit in order to promote their own am
bition and crafty their greed. Just as
an individual. when he is caught doing a
very mean or wicked thing, sometimes
blames it on the Almighty by insisting
that 1t was foreordained that he should be
what he is and do what he is doing, so
the statesman who is trying to steer his
country into forbidden courses claims
continually that it is being swept along
by manifest Destiny and that it is fly
ing in the face of Providence, detying
the will of God, in fact, to resist.
The new imperialism masouerades as
manifest destiny" We are to smash the
Monroe doctrine, to which we have been
SO long committed. and which we have
enforced against the world with SO much
spirit, and seize Cuba. which we are
pledged to leave free and independent
and occupy and hold the Philippines and
Porto Rico and the most of Spain's other
island possessions; not because it is con-
sistent or right or wise, but because
manifest destiny" DEGREES all these per-
formances; because Onnipotence has de-
termined that we shall enter upon such a
career of conquest and colonization.
Destiny is ponderous world. 1t strikes
the ear with great force, and when sup
ported by manifest 1t does great exc
cution. No one wants to defy destiny.
Few dare to obstruot manifest destiny. -
If it is foreordained it goes, for better or
worse. They do much business with the
phrase; much more than they could with
argument; but nevertheless it ought to
be banished.
Our destiny as a nation is what we
make 1t. The Supreme Being has not
decreed that we must do this or must not
do that. He has left US to shape our
course, and that we must do, and take
the consequences. If we gIab Cuba and
the Philippines the responsibility is ours,
not His. There may be reasons enough
for discarding the old policy and adopting
a new, but they must be found outside Of
this fiction. Our destiny follows the
stars and stripes. 1t does not precede
them.

The more experience we have with the
torpedo boat tho less formidable it ap
pears to be. At the beginning of the wal
there was good deal of dread of these
swift craft of which the Spaniards had
a good many and We but very few. But
that has now largely passed away. Not q
single one of our ships has been injured
by a torpedo boat. There were several
at Manila but a few well directed shots
from De wey's feet sent them scuddine
away for their lives. Capt. Sigsbee en-
countered one of the best of it's kind, the
Terror, at San Juan and had very little
difficulty in Gripping it SO it could hardly
get back into the harbor. 1t is clear
enough from our experience that the tor,
pedo boat in the daytime is not formid
able craft to meet provided the gunners
of the opposing vessel, are
fairly expert marksmen. They are Sc
frail that when once struck they are pref.
ty sure to be SO badly injured that they
cannot continue the offensive. At night
they are not much more likely to be sue
cessful against a ship provided with mod
ern search lights, for they can be deserted
long before they get dangerously near
Possibly in thick fog they might gel
near enough to ship without being oh
served to do mischief, but their capacity
as engines of destruction under ordinary
conditions has evidently been much over
estimated.

important questions Of the day. The
Hon. M. P. Frank, whom they

date. Mayor Lord Of Saco has been IA

The collision between the Newark and
ths Dolphin is the first serious accident
from faulty seamanship that has occurred
to any of our naval vessels since the war
broke out That there has been none be-
fore, speaks volumes for the skill and
seamanship Of the men who have charge
of our vessels. For two months now
nearly hundred craft of all sizes have
been steaming about night and day in
close proximity to one another, frequent
ly running in very close to the shore ard
lodging into obscure harbors and inlets
of any consequence that has happened.

Gen. Shafter is reported to have said
that he could take Santiago in forty eight
hours, but not without considerable loss
of life. A natural inference from this re-
mark would seem to be that the General
intends to take more time than forty
eight hours, expecting that by SO doing
he can greatly reduce the cost in human
lives Of the victory. 1t is to be hoped
that neither public olalnor for immediate
action or the Impotence of his subordi-
mates, many of whom are said to be anx-
ious to make an immediate assault, will
change his purpose. This is a war for
humanity and whenever possible we
should look after our own American hu.
manity. 1t is too late to save the recon-
centrados, but probably by manifesting
a little patience we may save the lives
of good many of our own soldiers.
While we do not think war can be car
ried on without someone's being hurt,
there is such thing as reckless waste
of life in war and this can be and ought
to be avoided.

The original name OF Colby Universe
ty was Wate1ville college. 1t was changed
after Mr.. Gardiner Colby of Boston made
his magnificent gift to the college, and
in recognition of it, no doubt, though no
condition was attached to 1t University
seems to have been substituted for college
for the sake of euphony, Colby Universe
ty sounding better than Colby College.
Colby College is, however, more appro-
pirate name, since the term university,
while it may properly be applied to one
college, is more commonly used to desig-
nate group of colleges. 1t was this con-
sideration probably, that influenced the
trustees at their meeting yesterday to
take action to petition the Legislature to
nave the name changed to Colby College.

The fear of an attack upon our coast
has been SO completely dispelled that the
patrolling feet is to be withdrawn, and
sent where it can be of some real use.
The apprehension that afflicted coast
towns at the outbreak of the war was
natural enough, but there was never
much real ground for it. The seat of
war was the West Indies There were
the Spanish colonies which were being
attacked and there Spain was bound by
every consideration to send her fleet if she
sent it anywhere. She did send it there
in part, only to be bottled up and become
useless. What few fighting ships she
has left are not sufficient in numker or
strength to accomplish anything along
out coast. even if the coal problem could
be satisfactorily solved. Now that all
possible danger to our coast is passed it
might be well to remove some of the
mines in our channels which impede nav
igation and involve unnecessary risk to
mariners.

If Admiral Camara delays long at the
Suez canal he may find it as dangerous
to go back to Spain as to go on to the
Philippines. A week will probably see
a strong American feet on it's way across
the ocean to the Spanish Mediterranean
coast. Should it enter the straits of
Gibraltar with Camara in the Mediterra-
mean sea it might be able to intercept his
fleet and compel it to fight before it could
get back under the guns of Cadiz or Fer

The statement that since the Americans
landed in front of Santiago Gen. Lii
nares's army has been reinforced by
10000 men is extremely improbable in
itself, and it is pretty etfectually dis
proved by the fact that the Spaniards
have constantly fallen back since the
Americans began to advance. With an
army as large as the addition of 10000
men would have made it Linares would
have been likely to show fight ere this.

that he is now inclined to ignore Admiral

probably to come to terms.
