LOCAL EFFECT OF EXPANSION
DISCUSSION At MEETING OF
CONTEMPORARY CLUB.
j. B. McMaster Favored and T. G.
Sherman and ex-senator Ed
munds Opposed Acquisition.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1O-''The Effect of
Territorial Expansion Upon Our Do
nestle Relations" was the subject of
discussion at the last meeting of the
Contemporary club, the speakers being
John Bache McMaster, historian;
Thomas.G. Shearman of New York and
former Senator George F. Edmunds.
The first speaker favored and the
others opposed the acquisition of ter
ritory not contiguous to the United
States.
DR.. McMaster. gave a history of the
policy pursued by the United States in
its acquisition. of foreign territory, and
its method of governing it, to show
that the proposed taking of the Philip
pines would be in line with previous
acts. He said he believed there was
no reason why we should not govern
these islands as acceptably as the great
west, which was acquired by several
purchases.
Referring to the Declaration of indie
pendence and its enumeration of sew
eral rights of the governed, quoted by
opponents of a colonial system, DR..
McMaster said the principles there
stated had never been literally incor-
porated into the governmental system
of the United States,a or any state. JEFF
ferson, who drafted the Declaration,
and negotiated the purchase of Louis
lana, and Federalists Of that day, urged
the same objections in force today
that we would be compelled to admit
to citizenship an equal terms the Gre
oles, the Spanish, the French and ne
groes, and all other, persons inhabit-
ing this large territory.
It was their claim that the Mississippi
was the natural boundary of the
United States, and later that provi-
dence had erected the Rocky noun
tains as a proper boundary of our
Union. He quoted from Daniel Web
ster, that the constitution could not be
stretched to cover a territory.
1t related only to states. The terri
tory was simply owned by the United
States as a man would own a horse. He
showed that from the beginning of our
acquisition Of territory that the presi-
dent had been the supreme authority
appointing a governor and council and
that territories were admitted as
states, not as a matter of right, but of
eXpediency.
Former Senator George f. Edmunds
said in part: Our sons and daughters
cannot live in the tropics. Look at the
case of Great Britain and her hundreds
of years of Indian mastery. Everybody
knows that there has never been an
English settlement within the tropics,

but civilians who go there, and nine
out of ten die before they are so years
Old, and the loss of the battalions that
go there is greater than that of our
sons and brothers who went to Santi-
ago and Camp Alger"
referring to the Philippines, Mr.. Ed
munds said: 1--WE now have from these
islands all the commodities they pro
duce on the same terms that other ma
lions do. Suppose we take them and
adopt the British colonial policy and
make them a close colony and allow no
one to trade with them except our
selves. How soon would the other ma
lions meet US by saying: We will treat
you the same way in our colonies and
then the balance of the commercial
gain would bankrupt the United States
in ten years.
1--WE told Spain and told the world
by a solemn declaration of our con-
gress when we began this war against
Spain, that we rejected the idea of ter
ritoTal aggrandizement. Was that a
LEA sham, a false pretense? And we
stand up in the face of the world and
say, Yes, we have been lying

Seattle Wash, Nov. 1O.-steam
schooner Excelsior arrived here today
from Copper river, Alaska with about
200 passengers, among whom was Cap
tain w. R. Abercrombie, United States
army, and his party of government
surveyors, including F. G. Schrader,
geologist; Emil NARROW, topographist,
and nine enlisted men. The Abercrom-
bic party claim to have cut q trail from
Valdes to Copper river, which does
away with the dangerous trip over the
glacier and shortens the distance go
miles. Abercrombie said: "Of the
5000 that went into the Copper River
country from 800 to LOO will winter
there. Those who came back either
lost their outfits or were grub-staked

and searched but little if at all for

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.


The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured
L continued this way until the last
of February, when [ saw in paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. 1
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

PAY OF REGISTRARS AND JUDGES
BASIS OF COMPENSATION FOR
FORMER IN CONTEMPLATION.
Election Judges Will Average Sc
Each-Commissio Halls APP
parent Pique Over His Defeat.

If County Commissioner Hall had
been the whole board of county COM
missioners yesterday he would have
fixed the compensation of registration
agents at such a ridioulously low figure
that the inevitable result would have
been extreme difficulty hereafter in Sc
curing the services of registration Off
GERS, whether or not competent and
trustworthy. When his colleagues sug-
gested that several representative DEM
ocratic registrars should be summoned
to give evidence of the nature, extent
and worth of registration work, so that
the board would have a clear idea of
the equities involved in the question of
compensation, Commissioner Hall ex-
pressed disapproval, as if to impugn the
Veracity of Democratic election Off
Gals, but when the name OF c. O.
FaTnsworth, the only Republican regis
tration agent in the city, was suggested,
| the commissioner readily acquiesced.
Commissioner Halls apparent pique
over his defeat at the polls on Tues
day manifested itself for several min
utes, but in order that registration
agents appointed from the Democratic
or other parties, in pursuance of law,
shall not be unduly punished by having
their pay cut to an unreasonable low
figure because of the elections results,
it was finally agreed that the matter
Of ffXing a basis of compensation be de-
ferred until Saturday afternoon. Reg
istration agents are invited to appear
before the board at that time and make
such statements as will enable the
board to fix a, basis on which to equit-
ably settle the claims of the So registra-
ton agents.
The basis of settlement proposed by
Commissioner Hall was SIS for five
days work, plus 1 cent per name for
copying, proof-reading, etc, with a
maximum of SIS and a minimum of 81
for such labor The agent for the small
est district in the county would thus
earn within 81 as much as the regis
trars of the more Dopulous districts,
where the work is ten times as much in
volume. In the opinion of persons IA
miliar with registration work, if Com
missioner Halls ideas prevail, a. gross
injustice will be done to the registrars
unless the basis of compensation is
construed to mean that the .cent-per-
name proposition will be an allowance
for each entry in the two official regis
tiers and the two official lists. In dis
trict where there are 600 voters names
there must be 2,400 entries, one for each
of the four books prescribed by law.

ELECTION JUDGES PAY.

Commissioner Halls determination to
trim election expenses again manifest
ed itself when the board discussed a
plan for fixing the compensation Of
election judges. The law is mandatory
in allowing the judge who delivers the
election returns to the county clerk a
fee of 81, and mileage at the rate of
10 cents per mile one way from the
polling place, but on Commissioner
Halls insistence the mileage provision
was distinctly made applicable to only
the districts outside of the city.
Chairman Armstrong and Commits
sioner Han advanced propositions for
a fair and just settlement of claims Of
election judges, and their ideas crys-
tallized in the boards action. Accord
ingly, judges of election will be paid at
the rate of So for the work during poll
ing hours and 30 cents each per hour
for canvassing the ballots and prepar-
ing the returns. The judge who delivers
the returns to the clerk will be compen-
stated according to Commissioner Halls
theory of after-election equities.
