HIS OPPORTUNITY.

As might have been expected, the Spanish crisis has afforded a new op- portunity for Lieut.. Totten, the eastern prophet. He says: "1 don't pretend to tell specifically what is going to happen; I only know we are on the verge of a millennium, and that the disaster to the Maine and the present war scare are among the incidents foreshadowed by the prophet Daniel, leading up to that event." More than this, the second coming of Christ is to occur next March, which is the 6,000th year of the world, according to the only Jewish chronology. No wonder that there are wars and ru- mors of war!" Lieut.. Totten has his hobby like most of the rest of us, only it is rather a more peculiar one than usual. He doubtless enjoys making his calculations, and as long as nobody takes him seriously there is no harm done.

ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES.

The prospects for federation in Aus tralia. we are told, are no brighter now than for several years past, although the promoters of such a movement are continually working for its accom- plishment. Many leading politicians are opposing the federation idea and the different colonies are likely to rock along as now for some time yet
 But one fine day in the future we are going to see virtually a new nation born down under the southern cross, with practically a republican form of government, although acknowledging allegiance to the mother country-an- other Canada, with great prospects po- litically and commercially. The union Of the Australian colonies will mean growth and power for themselves and added strength to England.
 What a contrast between the policy pursued by Great Brit ain towards it's English speak ing colonies and the course adopted by other European nations towards their outlying possessions, even where substantially peopled by colonists from the mother country! The explanation is found in the pro gressive character of the Anglo-Saxon and his superior capacity for govern ment and for learning from experience England was not disposed to be too liberal towards it's colonies up to the time of our revolution. She applied the policy of taxation without repre- sentation and was disposed to make her money out of her subjects abroad by extortionate revenues, rather than by an enjoyment of colonial com merce. The American revolution was all that was required, however, to reach the practical good sense of the British people and teach them that the best policy was to grant the fullest de gree of autonomy to their colonies consistent with English sovereignty In retaining apparently the shadow only of authority they really drew these branch establishments of their power the closer to the old country, and now find loyal and growing young giants, such as Canada and Australia, upon whom they can depend with con- fidence in the hour of need
 In India Great Britain of course has come in contact with an alien race, ig- norant, superstitious and weighted down by caste. It has been necessary to pursue another policy there to re- | tain her power. If we can excuse her course in India, there is still one blot more upon her treatment of conquer ed territory-her oppression of Ire land. The latter is entitled to as full a degree of home rule as England en- joys, and by it's free and cordial grant the British people would not only strengthen themselves in the British isles, but in all English speaking coun- tries.
 With a strong and populous fedora tion in Australia and another in Can. ada and in the south of Africa, and Ire land reconciled through home rule

CANINE CONSTlRULARY.
Force Of BIOOdhOunds ut Every
County Seat.

feFcc Oh bloounounuS III EVERY
County Seat.
From the Charleston News md Courier.
We have frequently urged on the county
authorities of this state during the past
few years the cxpcdicncy of the plan of
keeping few track hounds at some con-
venicnt point in each county. not only to
trace actual criminals, who cannot be fol-
lowed by any other means, but to deter tho
criminalIy disposed from the commission
OF cont nmpIatcd crimes by the assurance
which the presence OF the dog detectives
affords that they will be speedily followed
and caught if they give effect to their evil
incinatons. The suggestion has been en-
forced on several occasions by reports of
good service rendered by the dogs in the
few counties where they are kept. and
some v.ry convincing testimony of the
same character is added by our Florence
correspondent in his letter, published yes
tcrddy. After relating how the mere ar
rival of the dogs at Chadbourn had caused
an unknown burglar to bctray himself by
attempted flight. he adds:
Major Day received telegram yester-
day from j. w. Cherry of " ilson, N C..
requesting that the boCdhounds owned nv
the city of Florence be sent to that place
by first train. Just what they were wanted
for has not been learned These man
tra1lerS nave been used considerably of
late by the authorities In North Carolina
for running down criminals, and they havo
been very successful. Florence, of course
gets good pay for them whenever they are
used for any other purpose than running
down criminals within the city limits. 1t
has been great thing for Florence having
these trailers on hand, for 1t has reduced
burglary and inccndiarism very nearly 100
per cent during the time they have been
here. These dogs the same ones that
ran down murderer near Hub, N. c.. last
year. and ran down Edgar Purvis the
tramp who shot Flagman Blackwell on a
Coast Line train at Dunn, N. c., about two
weeks ago. They are sent anywhere upon
receipt of a telegram with assurances that
the prices will be paid for their services"
The lively demand for the animals from
ncighboring counties Is evidence enough Of
their successful services heretofore and
proves that they are regarded as a useful
police institution They should be as use
full In every county.
The most important testimony to their
value. however, Is afforded in the state
ment as to the effect of their presence in
reducing crime. The mere fact of having
these traiers on hand we are told, has
been a great thing for Florence" as shown
by the marked decrease In the number of
cases of burglary and inccndiarism alone
to say nothing Of other serious or lesser
crimes A similar equipment should be "A
great thing for other towns or counties for
the same reason, and when it's small cost
is considered 1t is really strange that every
county Is not provided with one.
