OUR MANIFEST DESTINY.
An EnG'iaIiman on the Dangers Of
Colonial Eapnnsion.


The following timely reflections of
Lord Macaulny. the great cssayist and
historian, are opportunc and worthy of
our prOfoundest study ut this period of
our national life and at this critical
stage Of our progress and development.
They apply to the question of the day
and our plain duty in respect to the mat
ters growing out OF the Spanish war.
Lord Macaulny says:
"'rhcre arc some who assert that in Il
military point of view the West Indies
arc Of great Importance to this country
(mcaning lInglanD. This is Il common
but monstrous Misrepresentation. We
venture to say that colonial empire has
been one of the greatest curses Of mol
Crn Europe. What nation has it
strengthened? What has been It's fruits?
Wars Of frequent occurrence and immense
cost; fcttcred trade, lavish expenditure,
claShing jurisdiction, corruption in gov
eminent and indigcncc among the pco-
pie. What have Mexico ana Peru dCnc
for Spain; the BraziS for Portugal; Ea
ravia for Holland? Or, if The experience
Of others is lost upon us. shall we rot
profit by our own? What have we not
sacrificed to our infatuated passion Tor
trans Atlantic dominion! This it Is
smiling gardens anl dear lircsd"s for
snowy desert or infectious morass on the
other side of the Giobc.'I'his inspired us
with the project Of conqn"ring America
This induced MS to resign all the advan-
tagcs of our insular stuntun-iO cmbroil
ourselves in the intrgucs and fight the
battles of half tn" continent to form
coalitions which were instantly broken
earned This gave birth to the fratri-
cidal war against American liberty, with
all It's disgraceful fcnt:, and barren vic
tories, and all the muss;lcres of the In
dian hatchet, and all tho bloody contracts
of the lIcssinn slaughter house.
"This it was. which. in the war against
the French republic, induced MS to send
thousands and tens Of thousands of cur
bravest troops to die in West Indian
hospitals, while the armies of our
enemies were pouring over tho Rhine and
the Alps When a colonial acquisition
has been in prospect, we have thought no
expenditure cXtravagHnt. no interference
pcril0us. Gold has been but as dust,
and blood as water. Shall We never
learn wisdom? Shall we never cease to
prosecute u pursuit wilder than the wild
est dream of alchemy, with all the crcdll-
lily and all the prnfusion Of Sir Epicure
MammOn?
"'Thosc who maintain that settlements
so remote coniucc to the military or
maratimc power of nations lly in the
face of history. The colonies Of Spain
were far more pOpuluus and extensive
than ours. Has Spain at an! time in the
last two centuries been :. match for Eng
land, either by land or by sea? Fifty
years ago our colonial domains In Amer
lea were far larger and moro prosperous
than those which we at present possess.
Have we since that time experienced any
decay in our political Influences, in our
opulcncc, In our security? Or shall we
say that Virginia was a less valuable
possession than jamaica or Massa-
chusetts than BavbadOcs?'

THE CAUSE OF THE DEFICIT.
quences.

Since the Dingley bill is an sc-
knowledged failure as a revenue
producer, the Republicans are rack
ing their brains for an explanation
and we offer the following as
solution, although it is rather thin,
as thin as water in fact and calcu-
lated to give Mr.. Dingley a chill.
But here is the story
Some of the members Of the Ways
and Means Committee are laughing
heartily over a clever scheme which
has been put in operation in Bos.
ton to evaded the duties Of the now
Dingley tariff, says the Washing
ton Post. 1t seems that just before
the law was passed syndicate of
Boston gentlemen purchased "a min .
eral spring near Toronto. intending
to ship the water into this country
under the low tariff of the then
prevailing law. Mr.. Dingley, how
ever, placed duty of "a cents a
gallon upon all imported waters, in
order, probably, to nourish the in =
FAINT industry of springs in the Uni
ted States, and the Boston men
were nonplussed. The tariff was
practically prohibitory. and the
mineral water Investment seemed
doomed. In their dilemma they
went to an attorney and asked him
if he could get them out of the fix.
perhaps So" replied the lawyer,
after few moments thought.
Would it hurt to treez. your min
eral water?"
The members of the syndicate
wondered what was coming, but
they replied that they did not
know.
"Well," said the attorney, ego
and freeze some of the water, and
then let Inc know whether it's medl.
cinal properties are injured"
The water was froze and the re-
port was made that there was no
apparent change. Then" said
e"O ehiO"N lawyer, YOU heeu uOt
trouble. Simply freeze the water
in Canada. and import it into this
country. There is no duty on Ice. ."
1t WAS fact. Mr.. DingIey had
retained ice on the free list, and
the Canadian mineral water now
comes across the border in solid
chunks. 1t pays less freight, and
1t does not require casks that are
worth 81 piece. The syndicate
saves "a cents on every gallon. and
the lawyer is going 20 Europe on
his fee.

patriotism at Porter's creek yester

port was circulated among the EN-

Thursday night, that war had been
declared between the United States
and Spain. One Of them went to
the superintendent, who in q jok-

true. TIE men held meeting
that night and resolved to fight for
their country rather than work for
cash, aud yesterday morning they
all flied up TO the superintendent's
Office and demanded their pay. say
ing they were going to the front.

that ho could persuade them that
war had not been declared, and
that the country did not need their

was a native of Celle, in the province of
Hanover. Germany He came to this coun-
try at the age Of eighteen, and entered
upon a business career in the manufacture
of varnish in New York. winning substan-
tial success. His preference was for a
country life, and in 1867 he purchased the
estate, Pen Park, which has since been
his home.
He accumulated a large fortune, and
was not only useful as the founder Of
grape growing and wine making in that
part of Virginia, but his energy and in
dustry found profitable employment in va
rious other directions. For many years and
until his death he was director of the
Charlottesville woolen mills, and only a
few years ago built in that city, at great
cost, the Jefferson Auditorium, one of the
handsomest theaters in the south.
His wife, who survives him, was Miss
