United States Will Endeavor to Please.

The Philippine island question seems
to be fast settling itself. The United
States will have to take and occupy that
group permanently, whether or no.
Germany has large interests on the
island, and for that reason it has been
feared, and with some reason, that trOu-
BILE over the final disposition of the
Asiatic archipelago might result with
that nation. but recent advices from the
"Fatherland" indicate Just the reverse
of such a condition. Realizing that it
would be impossible for Germany to
create a sentiment among European
nations which would make German con-
troll possible. even if it were possible to
prevent the United States holding the
islands, that country has announced
that American occupation will be most
acceptable. England has virtually an
nounced the same opinion on the SUBJ
ject, as have Russia and France. So it
appears that the timid anti-annexation-
lists have had their fright all for moth
ing.
The reason of this peaceful attitude
on the part of Europe regarding the
Philippines are based upon purely COM
mercial motives so it is Saskatchewan
international jealousies may have m
thing to do with the matter. Anyway,
1t is announced that under the control
of the United States a stable govern
ment will be established. taxation will
be moderate, and additional prosperity
will result to the subjects of the powers
who may have settled on the islands and
acquired property. Under Spanish rule
taxation has been e%xhorbitant, property
rights have been restricted and insecure
and great dissatisfaction has resulted.
The possibility of the Philippines in
commercial and mining respects are
said to be simply marvellous, but under
the Spaniards it has been impossible for
modern development of any kind,
to be made. Under the stars and
stripes all that will be changed, and
q tidal ave Of prosperity will set in
which will convert the islands into a
paradise for investors and property
holders. The United States has a good
among the nations of the world,
and on her reputation for fair dealing
and caring for the people, the Europeon
nations will insist that this government

ritOrial normal school in the Meadow

forthcoming in short order. The first

The Landing Of American Troops on Cuban
CniI.

QUILL
The landing of American troops in
Cuba calls to mind the last and until
now the only invasion of American sol
diers of a foreign land. which took
place half Il century ago in Mexico.
Commenting on the present invasion
some of our more or less esteemed cor
temporaries have %endeavored to show
how much they didn't know about
handling large bodies of troops, scme
having gone so far as to say that it will
take three weeks to disembark the 49,
500 men who form the first part of the
army of invasion. This would be 9 little
more than 700 men per days II the
enemy should appeal ". any consider
ahssrnufTbers, and use artillery with
reasonable skill, the American troops
would be cut off in detail and the
chances would be strongly against their
ever making a successful landing. No
more hazardous movement can be made
than landing troops on a hostile coast.
The invaders approaching the shore in
small open boats in a necessarily dis
organized condition are compelled to
defeat with the ~desultory aid from their
feet the enemy, who are or should be
we'll e%ntrenched, and fighting on ground
of it's own choosing. The utmost celer-
ity is necessary and every invention
known to the art of war is used to make
the landing as prompt and rapid as pos
sible. The landing referred to in Mex
leo was made just beyond the guns of
the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa, on a
broad beach, the water being so shallow
as to keep the fleet well out to sea. The
work began about 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and the entire force, consisting of
10, 200 men of all arms, was landed by
10 o'clock the same night without the
slightest mishap of any kind. General
Scott placed the entire movement in
the hands of Commodore Conner who re-
ceived the applause of the nation forthe
brilliant success which crowned his
skill and energy. Commodore Stewart
Ironsides) said he would rather
have landed the army, as it was done.
than have taken the two British ships,
the Cyane and Levant, which he cap
tured during the war of 1872. Consider
ing the experience of so years and the
great Improvements made in that time,
it is safe to predict that the 16,5OO
American troops will be landed in Cuba
inside of two days.

serve the country were personal friends
of senators and representatives, bust
ness men, politicians and preachers. In
order to procure appointments for
friends, senators have threatened to
block important legislation, representa-
tives have talked of holding back the
war revenue measure, and ministers
have vowed that not another prayer for
the president would they send up to
high heaven, unless their recommended
tions in behalf Of applicants were
needed.
Under such conditions it is little
wonder that there has been some impa-
thence manifested over the progress of
the war. When not importuning the
president, congressman, politicians.
society women, business men and whole
church congregations have been poster
ing the life out of army and naval Off
GERS for coveted commissions, leaving no
time for the actual business in hand.
Well. the list of appointments has
about been completed and the squabble
is almost over, for which the admins
tration is heartily thankful. but the
spectacle is not calculated to inspire
other nations with respect for the boast
ed democracy of the United States, nor
the patriotism of the people of the coun-
try. 1t has every appearance of point
ing to the fact that, in many cases,
''infooence' makes the man, not worth
and merit.

Patriotic Under Commissions.

There is nc one who would for a min
ute doubt the patriotism of the Ameri-
can people, but according to newspaper
correspondents in Washington, who
have every opportunity to get at the in
side facts, some of the enthusiastic pa
triots have a very well developed itch
for commissions.
The pressure for commissions in the
army upon the president has been some
thing almost beyond belief, II the cor
respondents have told the truth, and
the average newspaper man loves truth
better than self, as the country knows.
When the present war broke out the
president had about 500 commissions at
his command and there were 40 appli-
csnts for each and every n Of these.

Between his great war preparations,
Colonel W. Jennings Bryan still finds
time to raise a warning voice and in
hollow and sepulchral tones warns the
people of the United States against an
imperial policy and against the acquisi-
ton of more territory; as the ''crown of
thorns" and Course of gold" racket
would not work, the gallant colonel is
compelled to start out on a new track.
But this will also not work, as he will
find out in due time.

Those Eight Hens.

To The Farmers Review:-We have
now completed the month of May and
my hens, eight, have turned out 1874
eggs. AS they have been laying stead
lily now for several months. l think
this is good record. In April we got
175 eggs, which we did not expect TO
beat l want to suggest here a good
way for breaking up hens. Now, as
my hens are mostly Plymouth Rocks,
one might anticipate good deal of
trouble from sitters. But l have set
tied that question for all time. I find
no trouble in getting a hen out of the
notion Of sitting in few days. Whom
one of the hens gets broody l at once
put her in a separate coop, which is
about foLr feet square. 1t is placed
on a piece of grass, SO the hen can
pick at it if she wants to. l make a
point to begin with the hen as soon
as shs gets broody. l believe there is
much LOSS by waiting till the brooding
fever gets high. ! have tried hens that
had been s.tting some weeks. and
found it extremely difficult to convince
them that it Is not wise to sit down
anywhere with tie hopes of Matching

ont something. But the new Droody
hen wants her first nest or no other.
AS she cannot get any other she soon
gives up the idea altogether, and about
the third night | put her back on the
roost. She soon goes to laying. Then.
again, I have read that you might as
we'll let the hens all sit out their time
as they will not lay any more eggs than
if they did sit. But l am not at all
certain that they do not lay more eggs.
AS the egg yield seemed to keep up
right along. while the hens took their
turns at trying to sit, am OF the opin-
ion that none of them rested more than
week or ten days before beginning a
new production of eggs
