the dazzling fair shoulders OF a lady
standing within his range. Removing
his gaze from the eye-piece, he paid
an elaborate and pretty compliment to
the owner Of the shoulders in question
which was received by her with a
gratified smile.

EXPANSION AND TRADE.

One of the expansion organs remarks
that we could, as the result Of our war
with Spain, have the Philippines, Hawaii,
and Porto Rico as markets without the
necessity OF entering into competition
with the products Of other nations, and
then proceeds to contend mat II would
be egregious folly to neglect the oppor-
tunlty of securing these markets.
If this means anything it means that
our contemporary would admit free TO
our conquered provinces the products Of
this country. but bar out from them by
the Republican 20 per cent. tariff the pro-
ducts Of other countries
1t is Il plea for the adoption OF the
policy Russia had mapped out in her pro-
gramme for the partition OF China, and
against which Great Britain entered a
protest, which was practically backed
by British guns, and was endorsed by
public sentiment in this country. In
deed, so strong was that endorsement
that some of our statesmen were casting
about TO see If a way could not be found
for our Republican administration to ef-
feet an alliance with Great Britain on the
issue.
Verify the suggestion Of our expansion
contemporary is another striking COM
mentaTy upon our claim TO unselhshness;
verify it places us in a most inconsistent
attitude. None the less We hail with
delight all such exposures Of the true
inwardness Of expansion. The more the
question is discussed by the organs of ex-
pansion and such men as Grosvenor the
more apparent becomes the Republican
clearer is made the duty of the Demoe-
racy in the premises.

The Fence-Law Question - The

HEATHSVILLE. VA, June 29.-(Spc-
ciai.)-The Board OF Supervisors Of
Northumberland considered at its last
meeting the adoption OF the no-fence law
for three OF the districts Of the county.
Attorneys were present to represent both
factions in Wicomico District. After an
examination OF the petitions the board
took another vote with the result that
the tie vote OF the last meeting with re-
spect TO this district was changed to n
victory for the no-fence petitioners. with
out argument from counsel. A like result
was also attained I'm Fairfield District,
although the opposing petitions were
nearly equal in numbers. In Heathsville
District the sentiment appeared to be
entirely against the adoption Of the law,
and the old-time custom will preyaithere.
The wheat crops throughout Northum-

so than they have been for years. Very

The bill is to go into effect as soon as

Ever since the old bankruptcy bill ex-

made 10 obtain new legislation on the
subject. Scores of bills were drafted and
presented TO Congress session after ses-
sion, only 10 fail to pass. When the
present Congress met there seemed but
a poor prospect that a bankruptcy bin
would be agreed upon; but the war
changed the situation.

suit OF this war as its immediate prede-
cessor was of the civil war. There are
two opinions as 10 whether ii would be
