WHAT HAVE WE TO FEAR?

The opponents of imperialism" as objections to the policy of annexation. while they fail to suggest any other policy instead. To the question, What are we going to do with the Philip pines if we do not keep them?" they have no reply to make. They content themselves simply with harping on Washington's farewell address and the need of concentrating all our energies upon our problems here at home. Now whatever may be said against colonial expansion, the fact remains that the Philippines have fallen into our hands. We cannot, therefore, escape our re- responsibilities by shrugging our shoul- ders and declining to take any further interest in the future government of these distant territories. It may be very unfortunate, but they are cn our hands, and practical statesmanship must concern itself, not with what ought to be, but with what is.
 Hitherto we have had no distant col onies. We have been content to de- velop our domestic resources; and doubtless we might go on safely doing so until the end of time. But if pri- vate firm saw chance of extending their business they would probably pay small heed to the objection that their business as it was secured to them a very good profit. It is with nations as with men; the mere energy they have, the wider scope for it they will demand. We can go on as we are; or we can reach out for our share of the commerce of the world, for our portion or influence over its social, po- litical and religious regeneration. Be- ing for the most part men of English blood, our temper is progressive and adventurous, and our traditions point to expansion. We have no fear that the country will make mistake in this matter

READING AMERICA.

During the last decade the steady in-
 crease in the output, value, and pat
 ronage of American periodical litera- ture has been a fact to be noted by every observer of our social life. MT.
 Henry James says that, while in Eng land there are more monthly and quar- terly periodicals, they are read by fewer persons, and take fewer pains to be read at all. But in this country there is doubtless something more
 mutual and intimate in the relation ship between the great monthly maga- zine and the public, and the artistic and formative influences of such publi- catons are both more diffusive and de- cisive. On this subject, MT. James writes as follows, in his last letter to Literature: "The magazines (that is the American magazines) are-taking the huge nation as whole-richly
 educative, and if the huge nation as a
 whole is considered restrictive, that
 only makes a process of ingenuity, of
 step by step advance and retreat, in
 which ones sympathies must be with
 the side destined in the long run to be
 the most insiduous. If the periodicals
 are not overwhelmingly literary, they
 are at any rate. just enough for easy
 working more literary than the people,
 and the end is yet far off. They most
 ly love dialect, but they mak for civi-
 Ezation. The extraordinary extension they have given to the art of illustra-
 tlon is, of course, an absolute boon,
 and only fanatic, probably here and
 there, holding that good prose is it.
 self full dress, will resent the amount
 of costume they tend to superimpose !"

A woMAN's DUTY TO THE STATE.

American women are not less prone than American men to measure success in dollars and cents. They like to spend money; they like to have their husbands or fathers get rich; they like, naturally enough, the luxuries and elegancies of life comfortable homes, good clothes, advantage" of all sorts for their children, and freedom from worry about making the ends meet. That is natural, and so far as it en- courages thrift and industry and enter prise, it is good. But it is very liable to degenerate into selflshness. When it leads the American wife to grudge every moment and every thought her man diverts from business or remuner- ative labor to public duties, it is evil, and immediately makes the American woman a sharer in responsibility for the neglect that results. It is the duty of man who has a family to support it as we'll as he can, but that is not his only duty. It is his duty also to do his share in governing the country, either by accepting office himself or by doing his best to put the governing power into fit hands. If he neglects his family for public busi- ness, he does wrong, but he also does wrong if he neglects his duties as a citizen in order that his womenkind may live extravagantly and have more money to spend than they need.
 Of course there are some men whose capacity is of such a qualify that they are most usefully employed when they are making money for their wives and daughters to spend; but if a woman does happen to have supplementary man, who has in him good possibili- ties of public usefulness, she ought to feel it her duty as citizen to sacrifice a reasonable share of the fruits of her proprietorship to the good of the state. If she loves luxury more than right eousness, her wishes will be all too likely to determine the scope of her husbands endeavors, and the state will be the loser.-Harper's Bazar.

OUR NEW POSSESSION.

The United States senate yesterday by a vote of 43 to 21 completed the work of the house on the Newlands resolution to annex Hawaii to the United States. It now remains for Hawaii to put the finishing formal touches to the legislative and execu- tive action of this government and the future troubles of these ocean is lands will have ceased, no doubt for centuries to come.
 The action of congress in reference to Hawaii is not only the result of the study and careful calculations of the it had for more important basis, the impetus of an almost unanimous pub lie sentiment
 It is true that the move found pow erful opposition from certain quarters, and it is possible, highly so, that the opponents were actuated by honest inn pulses. It is also true that the strong est opposition had it's head center in a quarter around which the taint ot suspicion hovered from the date of the introduction of the resolution of an neXation.
 Be this as it may, those who op- posed the measure will find it a d.f- fcult task to explain to the people of the country the grounds Of their antagonism. The people, the whole people saw the importance, recognized the benefits, double discounted the drawbacks, and voiced the demand for the possession of Hawaii.
 The republican party gives Hawaii to the people. It is one of the grand est gifts so far presented by the ad- 1 ministration of President Mckinley. With Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil ippines added there seems to be good reason for an exhibition of pride in pointing to the record of year.

A few days ago it was reported that the captain of a Spanish revenue boat, who sailed into Manila harbor after Admiral Dewey had captured that port and was held up by an American warship, was shot by the Spanish au- thorities. Now it is announced that the man was not executed, but was taken under the care of the Ameri- cans and thus saved. That was a graceful act for the American admiral

MT. Lehman, the English coach who has been training the Harvard crew at Cambridge, has returned home after a second decisive defeat, but his American experience has been by no means in vain. His engagement to a young school teacher of Worcester is announced, and the British oarsman must feel that Fate or Providence or extraordinary good luck led him to this side of the ocean. What, after all, is winning or losing race or two in comparison to getting an attractive American wife.

Wire cutters are the latest imple- ments of warfare. The use of barbed wire by the Spanish forces in Cuba makes a serious obstruction to the in- vading army. A barbed wire fence is almost as deadly as bullets. The wire as fearful thing to come in con- tact with, and the Americans will have to do some hard work in removing the obstruction before they can advance.

MT. Cleveland has already been trot- ted out as the possible democratic nominee for president in 1900. To a man on the outside it would look as if Cleveland is the only democrat who can be elected president. AS a matter of fact he is the only one since 1856, but he cannot live forever and new timber will have to be discovered Grove Cleveland will not be inaugur- ated as president in 1901.

CANNOT UTTER A SYLLABLE.
Peculiar Case of Harry Murray, of
South Washington Avenue.

Harry Murray, H-year-o!d boy who
resides at 1928 South Washington ave-
nue., is proving a great puzzle to the
surgeons at the Moses Taylor hospital.
Murray was employed as a driver in
the Pine Brook mine and Saturday/af-
ternoon was thrown from the back of
the mule and sustained a SIGHT bruise
on the side of the head.
He was picked up and found to be
unconscious and was taken to the Mo-
ses Taylor hospital where he remained
in an unconscious condition until yes-
terday afternoon. When he recovered
consciousness it was found he could
not speak ard up TO this time he has
not uttered a word.
The hospital authorities are greatly
mystifted by the case. The bruise on
the head is such a very slight one that
they cannot understand why it should
be followed by such serious conse-
quences.

FIREMAN DAVIS KILLED.
Storm Caused a Fatal Wreck on the

man on the New York, Ontario and
Western railroad, was killed at $50
last evening by an accident a quarter
of a mile this side of the Peckville
station. He was a married man and

The accident is directly traceable to
the storm. Passenger train No. 2O6,

slowly down the valley on account of
the terrific wind, snow and rain storm
that was raging. 1t was $50 when the
train left Peckville station, and quar-
ter a mile this side of it where the
gravity road crosses the Ontario and
Western, the signal pole had been
blown down and lay across the track.
On account of the storm the engine
was almost on the pole before the en-
gneer saw it. There was a crash and
the engine and tende" left the rails.
Just then the fireman jumped, and an
instant later the engine and tender top
pied over and Davis was crushed to
death beneath it. The engineer, Reu-
ben Lewis, of Eigth street, this city,
stuck to his lever. He escaped with a
few bruises.
A wrecking crew was Immediately
sent to the scene from the Mayfeld
yard and about 10 o'clock the remains
of Davis We're taken from beneath the
wreck and prepared for burial at the
Peckville station.
When the engine and tender left the
track the coupling broke and the pas
senger and combination coaches which
made up the train remained on the
rails. The passengers were badly shak-
en- up, but escaped injury. They
came to this city on the Delaware and
Hudson railroad.
The road was opened up last night
but the engine will not be raised until
today.
