distinctly knows, to be used about his
own legs.
1t may be said in reply, that diversi-
fed small industries that give employ
ment to women and children, will fav-
orablv affect the condition of the lab
orers on the plantations, by increasing
their home comforts. This might be
so. in some cases. But we accept it as
fact, that no class of laborers are, on
the whole. very much in love with
plantation life, and will escape from it,
whenever better opportunities are Of
fered. We are not criticising the plan
ting interest for this condition of
things. The same conditions exist in
nearly all of the agricultural portions
Of the United States. The whole ten
dency of modern education, and senti-
ment, is towards independence upon
the soil. Any new agricultural indus
try that enables man to become his
own master, is a movement hostile to-
wards penal contract labor or cheap
labor.
We should be surprised therefore if
the planting interest became enthu-
siastic about creating diversified indus
tries here, so long as it puts its faith
in sugar. If it sees an end of sugar
prosperity in the future, near or re-
mote, it might encourage industries
which may be utilized by the sugar
plantations. But this aspect of the
case, demands much foresight. Wheth-
or that faculty exists here is matter
of some doubt.

EXPERIENCED FIGHTERS.

Anyone who looks over the register
of the American navy, will see the
names of many men who, in the Am
erican Civil war, saw hard and desper-
ate fighting at the forts below New
Orleans, in Mobile Bay and elsewhere.
While these men were young and held
no superior rank, they learned much,
with great rapidity, from men like
Farragut and Porter. There could not
be more effective object lessons in
naval warfare to the men who now
command the American fleets, than the
dashing movements of not only those
commanders, but of many others who
did marvellous things. The capture of
the ironclad Albemarle was made al
most before the eyes of Admiral Miller
and his associates.
It is also true of the American army
that there are men now living IN the
South as we'll as the North, who have
seen more actual warfare on large
scale than the average officers of the
European armies. Only the command
ing officers of those armies have had
the training and practical education OF
the Americans. The military cam
paigns, during the last 40 years, in
Europe have been. short, and consisted
mainly of war in the open country,
while the war in America consisted OF
battles between armies so hidden in
the forests that they could not see
each other.
For these reasons, the world will ex-
pect that the military and naval opera
tionssby the American forces will be OF
the most brilliant kind.

THE KATAHDIN.

1t is just possible that the ram Kat
ahdin may create a revolution IN naval
warfare. This craft is the invention OF
Admiral Ammen, and it is his belief
that she will prove very destructive to
battleships. Her ram is of enormous
mower and weight 1t has the shape
of the turtle back, and is painted green
The constructors theory is that shot
and shell will glance from her oval
deck Her ramming power is so great,
that she will easily penetrate through
any thickness of iron and will not be-
come entangled in the hull it strikes.
It's advantage as against tOrpedoes
has not been tried. 1t is apparent that
the naval authorities will give this ram
a trial, as the dispatches state that it
has been attached to the Flying Squad
ron.
The little Monitor and the big Merri-
mac, in 1862, revoIutionized naval war
fare. The Katahdin may create an
other revolution. Admiral Ammen be-
Iieves that it will, and the Navy De-
partment asked Congress for the
money with which to construct it. The
substitution of rams for cannon balls,
if successful, would create a weary
feeling among naval constructors, and
might induce the nations to nold a
conference on the subject of arma-
ments.
Though the great American sea
fighters are no longer living, there are
a score of men in the American navy
with the flag rank" who have had, in
actual nval service and in naval bat
ties. more experience than the naval
officers of even Great Britain, and far
more experience than the officers of
the Spanish navy.

THE PLANTERS AND THE IN
DUSTRIES.

1t is one of the embarrassment OF
the situation here, that the planters, on
business and selfish grounds, will OPP
pose the development of small indus
tries over the Islands. OF course there
are always exceptions to be made in
generalizing. For there are some plan
tiers who would not oppose the estab-
hshment of diversified industries.
But the average planter will reason
in this way: $50 long as the cultiva-
ton and production of sugar is the
main industry, and upon which the
laborers must rely, the rate of wages
is largely within the control of the
planting interest. The establishment
of other industries may create diver
sion, especially if it happens, that the
returns from any of these new indus
tries are larger to the laborer than the
returns from plantation work. Why
then should the planting interest en-
courage the establishment of that
which may seriously injure it?" The
argument is, from the ordinary bust
ness point of view, sound one. We
can hardly expect the planting inter
est to move in such a matter with any
more alacrity than the small boy who
is directed by his father to go into the
garden and cut a switch, which is, he

What They Read About Hoods

Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely sim
pie preparation of SarsaparilIa, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and DandeIion.
1t also contains those great kidney rene
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously com
blned in Hoods SarsapariIIa, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods SarsapariIla
matter of surprise? You can see why
