over, it cut the United States loose from
all connection with Europe's ambitions
and complications.
The war of 1SlG-iS with Mexico,
coupled with Texas's annexation, which
was the chief cause of the war, added
more than 100000 square miles to the
country's territory, gave us the richest
gold field California; which the world
has known, rounded out symmetrically

and by the Wilmot proviso and Califor-

precipitated, it FASTENED the abolition of
slavery through the conflict which
slavery caused.
One more war, that of lS6l-5, COM
pletes the list of conflicts in which the
country has been engaged, except that
which is now under way. The war of
1S6l-5 destroyed the secessions doctrine.
1t did this in two ways-by overthrow
ing it in battle and by the decision of the
supreme court in the case of Texas
versus White, growing out of the war,
in which the secession ordinances of the
II states of the Confederacy were de-
clared to be null and void and the gov
eminent was proclaimed to be ian in
destructible union of indestructible
states" 1t destroyed slavery, made
the country free in fact as we'll as in
theory, removed the sectional barrier be-
tween North and South, started the
south on its career of social and material
advancement, and settled the conflict be-
tween Hamilton, Marshall and Webster
on the one side, and Calhoun, Hayne
and jefferson Davis on the other, by
deciding, as the three first named con-
tended, that this government was a
nation and not a eague.-Leslie's

TO REDUCE TAXATION.


An Indiana Towns Experiment in Munic-
ipal Ownership.
Several years ago the city of Ander-
son took the important step of putting in
its own city fire protection service, and
now it has the commercial service.
From the commercial service alone there
was net cash earning of $4,000 for the
past year over the cost of operating the
entire plant. The saving to the city was
$4,000, making in round numbers net
earning of S23, 900 from this one branch
of municipal ownership service. Some
of this was expended in extending the
commercial and city mains, and the in
come next year will be very much great
er than during the past year. 1t is safe
statement that in the next few years, as
soon as the mains have been extended to
ali parts of the city, the cash earnings
will be double its present amount, while
the saving to the city will be third
greater, or. in short, net earning of
$4,000 for the city.
Most Indiana cities let annual contracts
to electric light companies to furnish
street light. The figure in most cities is
about 500 each for the arc light. An
derson operated on this plan until four
years ago, when the first move toward
municipal ownership in this department
brought out a general protest. After
much negotiation, however, the Bosworth
company, then furnishing the city with
street light, was bought out, after being
told that if it did not sell the city would
discontinue to deal with it and would put
in its own plant The plant has paid for
itself by its annual saving, and now the
city has so connected with the water
works plants that it is operated with
very light expense, saving the city So
900 net each year.
The next move was to purchase the
commercial electric light plant. The
sum totai of the transactions was about
900. Anderson now controls the
market on electric light, holding a
monopoly not only in commercial water
service, but also in commercial electric
light service. All of the arc, the mean
descent and other electric lights in the
city are simply revenue collecting agen-
cies of the city government. The person
enjoying the luxury OF an incandescent
lamp in his parlor or bedroom is paying
into the city treasury direct The lights
which make the opera houses bright are,
in fact, collecting license direct; the
travelling man who turns on the light in
his room is also helping the city along !;
the merchant who runs an arc light out
side or incandescent lamps inside has the
satisfaction of knowing that his money
is going direct to the city treasury. tits
vast system of revenue collecting for
which the city gives something in return
which would otherwise have to be pur-
chased from a corporation operated for
personal advancement.

RESULTS oE OUR FORMER WARS.


By the first war-the war which be-
gan in 1875 and ended with the treaty
of peace with England in l7S3-the
United States gained independence, a
place among the nations, and an oppor-
tunity to try the experiment of self-gov-
ernment-then only an experiment any
where-on larger scale and under bet
ter conditions than had been possible be-
fore that time.
The quasi war which the United
States had with France on the ocean in
1898, and in which, in short time, two
French frigates and many French
privateers were captured and Others were
defeated and escaped, showed, in the
words of President John Adams, that
tive are not degraded people, Inundated
under colonial spirit of fear and sense
of inferioritv.' 1t ended French insults to
to American ambassadors and the Amer
lean government and won for us as
respectful treatment from France as that
country accorded any great nation of
Europe.
Several times, particularly in lSO3-5
and in 1915, the United States fought the
Barbary pirates-of Morocco, Algeria,
Tunis and Tripoli-instead of paying
tribute to them, as Europe did. We
profted by this course, in self-respect
and in money, and the world conceded
that the American plan was better than
the European by ultimately following
the American example.
These little wars-with France and the
Barbary pirates-are skipped by most of
the American historians, but they raised
the United States at the time in the
worlds respect, and should be read and
remembered by all Americans.
The second great war of the United
States, that of 1Sl2-l5 against England,
is ridiculed by some of the historians be-
cause the question which produced the
war-the depredations on American COM
merce, the impressment of our seamen
into the British service, and the instiga-
ton by British agents of attacks by the
Indians on our frontiers-were not
mentioned in the treaty of peace which
ended the war. The war settled nothing,
they said. They are mistaken. The
war helped the United States in many
ways. Its brilliant victories on the
ocean and on the lakes over the mistress
of the seas won the worlds admiration
it went far toward breaking down local
preiudices and particularist narrowness,
and created a healthy national senti-

END OF SEAL DISPUTE.
The Government Pays to England the
Amount of Awards.

The Government Pays to England the
Amount of Awards
The closing chapter in the story of the
Berhing sea fisheries claims, running
over a period of several years, was en-
acted in the office of the secretary of
state at Washington Thursday of last
week when Judge Day delivered to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, draft drawn on the treasurer of
the United States in the sum of S473,151.-
~ as payment in full of the award of the
Joint commission, convened In accordance
with the terms of the Paris tribunal of
arbitration of 1892. That day was the
last day allowed for payment under the
terms of the award and it was made in
pursuance of a special act of congress
passed by that body Wednesday and
approved by the president of the United
States Thursday morning.
These claims arose through the seizure
by United States revenue cutters and ma
val vessels, detailed for the purpose of pa
trolling the Boring sea, of number of
the small schooners hailing from British
Columbia that had been engaged in seal
ing By so doing they had violated the
law of the United States, but when the
whole subject was considered at the Paris
arbitration it was decided as an incident
that the United States had at the time
these seizures were made had no exclusive
jurisdiction over the water of the Bering
sea outside of the three mile limit and
that consequently the owners of the yes
sells were entitled to compensation for the
losses they had sustained. The seizures
occurred all in one year, for in the follow
ing year the United States and Great
Britain had arranged a modus vivendi,
which practically excluded sealing
vessels from the waters of Bering sea
during the time when the seals are
breeding. The damages awarded by
the Joint commission to which the
United States was party were con-
siderably less than the aggregate of the
claims of the owners of the sealing
vessels, but the amount is still in excess
of the figure which Secretary Gresham
had arranged to pay for the damages
had congress consented at the time.

Spirit Of the Dress.
A NEW EXPERIMENT IN SCIENCE.
Observation-Disclosures

Charles f. Tripler, an American in
ventor, reports that he has discovered
the art of liquefying air. The effort to
do the same thing has been made in
England and on the continent number
of times, and the theory of the scientists
that 1t should be possible to force the
gases composing the air into liquid con-
dition is no novelty. But Mr.. Tripler
seems to have been the first man to sue
coed in the experiment to the extent of
making it practicable for commercial
purposes.
The discovery, as described by observ-
ers. seems to be marvellous. 1t is given
out that the liquefaction is produced by
subiecting air to enormous pressure
The result is liquid which is almost
perfectly limpid, save for a slight blue
tinge. 1t can be dipped up in cup and
handled like so much water. But it has
qualities present in no other known COM
bination of chemicals. 1t is intensely
cold, its temperature being several hun
dred degrees below zero. 1t will freeze
anything which may be dropped into it.
Indeed the degree of cold is so great as
10 IdNt lilt utSll uNllNN NliOSb VI AAtNh@N
heat. Mr.. Tripler says that he has
melted steel rods by inserting them into
the fluid and setting fire to them by
means of a common match.
The result of this singular discovery
cannot be forseen. If Mr.. Tripler is
right. it is likely to effect a revolution in
many departments of life. The lique-
faction of air, according to his reports,
will make it possible to procure refriger-
alton without the use of ice, 1t will
enable physicians to fight OIL the dan
gerous diseases arising in tropical eli
mates, and the liquefied air has an eX-
pansive power, during the process of
reconversion into natural air, which
may make it of high value as a motive
force on ships. 1t is also terrible eX-
plosiye. The world will watch with in
terest this last achievement of the modern
scientist.-Chicago Record.

NERVOUS INSANITY.
SHATTERED NERVES AND HEAL
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT ENIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of Grinding Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrows
Kidupoids.


No organs of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves. If waste matters of
the system are not removed as rapidly as
formed, the nerves are the first to know it
and suffer in consequence. The kidneys
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves is apparent and
should be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
lions properly, systematically and on time,
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body. From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then eXcitabil
1ty OF temper; next nervous DrOstratiOn,
shattered nerves and insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy that not
only will make the kidneys sound, as nature
intended they should be, but also have a
strong ana wholesome effect upon the nerve
centers-that remedy is Mowow's Kikneolds,
prepared in the form of yellow tablet.
MOrrOW's kidneOidS are not the foolish fan
cy of day, hut are the result of years of eX.
perimrt {, experience and Il thorough stu iy
of the relations existing between the nerves
ana kidney. The honor of the discovery of
the kilneoids is due to John Morrow, that
eminent chemist OF springfield. Ohio, whose
rcputOn would not permit hlm to place upon
the market amy remedy not of the highest
value ana merit
In our last issue we announced that one of
the largest drug concerns i'm the Unit
ed states was negotiating Tor the control of
MOrrOw's kidneOlds. We are now informed
by the discOverer of this most peculiar rem
edv that the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield,
Ohio, was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who were endeaVOr'ng TO secure

Railroad Commissioners a. Witnesses.
The Vermont state railroad commits
sioners inspected the Bennington and
Rutland railroad last Friday. They
were accompanied on their trip from
Rutland by Superintendent E. ID. Ben
nett and Road Master George McMaster.
As the train was approaching Manches-
ter these two, who with two of the COM
missioners were seated on the platform
of the observation car which was in
front of the engine, noticed a meat
wagon approaching the crossing. The
engineer did not discover the team in
time and the driver did not appear to see
the train. The car struck the wagon and
McMaster, who was standing on one
Of the steps of the car, was thrown
off. He had one leg, one arm and two
fingers broken, was badly cut on the
face and on the arms. 1t is also
feared that he sustained Internal injuries.
Superintendent Bennett was also cut
and otherwise bruised. Neither of the
commissioners was injured. The meat
wagon was stripped, the horse was killed
and the driver considerably injured.
McMaster was taken to Bennington to
the Soldiers Home hospital. He had
good grit and after reaching there told
those who helped take him from the car
how he wished to lay and how they
should carry him to the ambulance that
was in waiting for him. His father is
the master mechanic of the road. 1t is
hoped that his injuries will not prove
fatal.
