Our New Climates

We haye also annexed new clim
ates.
The Philippines, all traveller.
agree, have a climate in which a
man from the temperate zone car
keep alive only with the greatest
difficulty. and can keep well only
by never forgetting for an instant to
guard his health.
Malaria is the lot Of all who dwell
there. Tropical fevers, tropical
plaques such as small pox and
leprosy, thrive and prey u on
natives and newcomers.
The air is hot as well as moist,
and only the most rigid comers
from temperate climates are able
to resist the universal, innate and
incurable idleness.
OF Hawaii we already know
much--a gorgeous beauty Of sky
and earth, a paradise IN which
turks leprosY.
In both these domains the only
possible labor that is commercially
productive is contract labor not
distinguishable from the harshest
slavery. This fact is due chiefly
to the climate.
In Cuba the semi-tropical elm
ate makes conditions tolerable only
by the acclimated by inheritance.
Residence all the year round in
the Cuban cities and plains is inn
possible for the white races. The
heat and the diseases bar the white
laborer.
Porto Rico, called 'the most
heallhful OF the Antilles" is a de-
lightful winter resort. But white
men from the United States will
never live there lonPer than for the
briet winter season.
AS a whole the new climates
added to the long established |
American varieties are not attrac,
tive to the healthy vigorous white
races. These races will not labor
in tbs m, will not thrive in them,
will not voluntarily live in them.
And they stunt and weaken and
ravage and render indolent and
savage the native races.

that such would be the case. On
the other hand, the history OF Eu-
ropean colonial possessions in the
tropics lends no encouragement to
these expectations. India has been
under the English control for many
years. 1t is a land rich in all the
possibilities of tropical wealth so
gloriouslY portrayed by our expan-
sIonists, and the English Govern
ment has been favorable TO English
capital and enterprise. Yet to- day
in a population Of 800, 600 900,
there are not more than 400, 900
Englishmen, aud these largely
officers OF the Crown. Out Of os,-
900 people in Hawaii there are but
5000 Americans living there. 1t
can be laid down as one oi the in
disputable facts II history that you
can not get large bodies OF Anglo
Saxons to make their homes per-
manently in the tropics. AS one
oi our Senators has recently said:
"You cannot raise good American
citizens where the frost doesn't
strike at least once a year. We
certainly cannot safely add still
further to our unenlightened and
turbulent elements. France loses
every year through its colonial
$4,000. 900 francs. Yet
she is compelled to hold on to
them. AS we love our land OF
Liberty we need to cherish it. To
do so is to add safeguards, rather
than to add to our perplexites.
Until those who want to annex
those islands can assure us with
ndisputable evidence that either
he people living there are able to
control our destinies or enough Of q
our people will IN owe there to con-
rol them, we owe il as a duty 10 q

AMONG the many objections en-
tertained in Germany to the con-
slant travels oil the Kaiser is the
disorder which they entail in con-
nection with the ordinary railroad
traffic. The Kaiser always travels
by special train, and these not
only have the right of way on all
German lines, but. moreover, in
volve a thorough disorganization
OF the regular train service owing
to the strictness OF the regulations
which the Emperor has devised
for his convenience and his safety.
Thus, no one is admitted to the
platforms OF the stations through
which the imperial train passes, or
where it stops, except those per-
sons whose presence has specially
been autY lied by the sovereign
himself, and the railroad officials,
whose presence is absolutely indis.
pensable for the execution of the
railroad service. And even these
functionaries are ordered TO go
about their duties in such fash
ion as to interfere in no manner
with the convenience OF those in
attendance upon the Emperor or
to- obtrude themselves ON his
notice.

Beer In East Africa

In report to the State Depart
ment from Lourenco Marquee,
Portuguese Est Africa, United
States Consul Hollis says there is
a very good market for beer OF all
kinds there. Large quantities of
English ale and stout are con-
sumed, but these beers are too
heavy and are unsuited to the
climate, and the old resident after
while drops them for something
lighter, such as German Pilsener
beer.
Lately, he says, several parties
have endeavored to introduce
American lager beer there, and,
considering the present CONNER
cial depression, they are making
some headwaY. The brands that
have been sold there are generally
we'll liked, and, when trade i'm
proves, very good business in
this line can be worked up BY
American brewers Of really FIRST
class beers.
He also says that some Ameri-
can brewers are too conservative
in their business meth ds for that
country. They want remittances
to cover all orders, and are not at
all inclined to ship sample lots. A
little more llberaIity IN the matter
OF samples and terms of payments
would, no doubt, result in increased
sales. It's quite safe. he thinks,
to sell and to draw upon the bills
OF lading to any firms or indIvid
uals who attach to their orders a
letter from their local bankers,
recommending them as desirable
people with whom to trade.
In regard to the packing and
prices OF American beers. both are
entirely satisfactory.

Big Army For Philippines

Secretary Alger is now consid-
ering the adVisability OF sending
anolbur expedition to the Philip
pines. Since Spain has ceded
them to the United States it will
be necessary to garrison each OF
the islands with American sol
diers. On some Of them a large
force will be necessary because OF
the hostile feeling OF the natives
and insurgents. II another ex-
pedition is sent to the Philippines,
several OF the regiments which
were sent in the first expedition
will be ordered home.
While the feeling among Ad-
ministration officials IS that Aguin-
aldo and the insurgents will OBEY
the mandates OF Gen. Otis, larger
expedition is believed to be war
ranted as a matter OF precaution.
Il is the purpose Of the War De-
partment tn use regime snts for this
service which it was originally in
tended should be used as a gar
risOning force in Cuba. The IN
dications are that considerably less
than 10000 men will be used in
the occupation OF Cuba,

The President and Public Senti-

Ii is a matter of record that the
President did not at first intend to

Philippines. The protocol is
proof OF that.
In explanation Of the expansion

oFFIcRRINo THE FLEET.
United Service GaRskfs.

With the present critical state Of our
relations with a nation whom we may,
unfortunately, have to meet and beat on
the sea, the shoTtness OF lieutenants in
the navy has become a burning and
vital question. We have been given
many reasons why the lieutenants' list
could not be kept at war strength during
peace times, whenever the press has
called the AdmiTalty's attention 20 this
weakness in the offering of our feet.
Whether these were always reasonable
and expedient we need not now stop TO
consider. The effect is that at the pres
ent time, when the war bugles may sound
the advance at any moment, the feet is
deplorably short OF that rank OF officer
which Lord Charles BeresioFd and other
able and experienced naval officers have
more than once, in their public utter
ances, declared to be the backbone Of
the British navy. There are barely
enough lieutenants on the list at present
to man and keep going the regularly
commissioned ships Of the various
squadrons. Yet if war were declared
tomorrow, the battleships and cruisers
that would be disgorged from the basins
OF our home dOckYards, to ht out and
meet the enemy, would be crying aloud
for this class of officer which the Ad-
miraltY could not supply.

Picquart, must continue TO suffer until
the last doubt as to his innocence has
been disslpated. The conspirators and
their acComplices are apparently to be-
shielded as long as possible from the full

what they please, to scatter abuse rpoo

even the judges OF the Court OF Appeal,

Llchtensteln's Hermit Ruler

Hidden away in the exquisitCly y
picturesque and magnificent castle
OF Elsgruh, in Moravia, an Ole
World ruler has Just celebrated in
solitude the anniversary Of his ac.
ceSsion to the throne. He is not
insane. On the contrary he is one
Of the most intellectually brilliant
as well as most kind hearted OF
European sovereigns. Yet, during
these forty years he has been prac-
tically invisible to the world. No
one save his only brother and his
confidential secretaries and serv-
ants know even what he looks like,
and his subjects, lik: the rest Of
the people on the continent, can
only form conlectures as to the
nature Of his appearance.
This hermit ruler is the reigning
Prince Of Lichtenstein, an inde-
pendent sovereign, who, theoreti-
cally. is still in a state Of war
against Prussia. For when, in
1866, the various sovereign States
OF Germany were called upon to
array themselves either on the side
Of Austria or Of Prussia, the Prince
of Lichtensteln cast in his lot with
Austria, boldly declared war
against Prussia, and put on war
footing his little army OF about
three hundred men.
After the conclusion Of the cam
paign Prussia concluded peace
with the various States that had
taken part in the conflict. But
somehow or other the principality
of Lichtenstein was overlooked or
by Bismarck, and, mas
much as if his attention had been
called to the matter il would have
resulted in a demand for indemni-
lies. &c., the Prince naturally for
bore to call the attention OF Prussia
70 the neglect. No peace having
been concluded, therefore, between
he two countries, they are theo-
'etically still in a state of war with
'ne another.
Few people are aware OF the {
eason for this mysterious seclu- {
ion OF the Prince Lichtenstein, {
Who, in spite of the smallness Of his 9
lominlons, is one of the very n
vealthiest rulers oil the Old World. G
The fact of the matter is that he is t
fflicted with an ailment OF such Ii
sharac er as to deb;r him from a
he society OF his fellow creatures, k
nd to render his isolation neces- o
ary. 7@
He entertains large parties Of c,
uests at his various castles during d
he shooting season and likewise n
J his palace at Vienna during car ei
ival week. But, while his guests W

'weveT, that he sees them when lei
