ernment, with it's schemes of spoil alton? Or shall we adorn our flag with Milky Way composed of a mui- titude of minor stars, representing remote and insignificant dependenciesY
 sNo, thousand times better to haul down the stars and stripes and substi- tute the flag of an independent republic than to surrender the doctrines that give glory to old Glory It was the flag of our fathers in the years that are gone; it is the flag of our reunited country to-day; let it be the flag of our nation in the years that are to come. Its stripes of the red tell of the blood that was shed to purchase liberty it's stripes of white proclaim the pure and heaven born purpose of a government which derived its just powers from the consent of the governed. The mission of the flag is to float, not over experimentation oi commonwealths, but over the land oi the free and the home of the brave,
 and to that mission it must remair forever true-forever true.

"The Dream Mines.n

FoRT WORTH, Dec. TIA. Elliott, of Goffs, Kan, has recently returned from visit to Phoenix, Ariz. Mir. Elliott is the discoverer of the Dream mines, sixty miles southeast from Phoenix, which were located ten years ago by Mir. Elliott while lying in a trance at Wetmore, Kan. The circum- stances of the discovery attracted at tention at the time of the American and British Societies for Psychical Research. Mir. Elliott did not see the mine for more than four years after he dreamed about it. He recently brought back samples of the ore with him. It was very rich, some of it assaying $5O,- GOO to the ton.

Premature and Presumptuous.

From the Globe Silver Belt.l
 Some of our democratic exchanges assume good deal when they essay to establish the policy of the demo- cratic party as opposed to the reten- tion of the Philippines and other pos sessions won from Spain through the arbitrament of war. It would be well to wait until there has been declara. tion by the national democracy on the question of territorial expansion before indulging in denunciation of the ad- ministration for having enforced this nations claims against Spain. Ger tainly there should be no serious op- position to the ratification of the peace treaty in the senate, and we do not an | ticipate that there will be.
 Territorial expansion is as yet not party issue; prominent men in boti parties have declared against it, whil, many of the brightest men among th, democrats favor keeping the posses sions acquired from Spain, as the legit innate fruits of victory, and in the in terest of our national growth and pros perity. Nothing is to be gained by opposing popular movement on mere ly narrow partisan grounds.
 The United States is in the position where it would be more troublesom, to relinquish the islands gained iron Spain than to hold them. Even anti expansionsits recognize this fact. Tn, only question to be discussed is tn, government of our colonies, and that i likely to become and continue a part, issue. There is no doubt but tha through our successful war with Spail we incurred great responsibilities an, must solve problems of governmen new to us, but the American peopl never failed in an emergency, and vii meet and overcome the obstacles whicl now appear to timid and querulou minds as insuperable.

MISSION OF THE FLAG.

Bryan has made characteristic re- ply to the presidents query: "Who will haul down the flag" He says:
 1.-The flag is national emblem and is obedient to the national will. It is made for the people, not the people for the flag. When the American people want the flag raised they raise it; when they want it hauled down they haul it down. The flag was raised upon Canadian soil during the war of 1872, and it was hauled down when peace was restored. The flag was planted upon Chepultepec during the war with Mexico, and it was hauled down when the war was over. The morning pa pers announce that General Lee or dered the flag hauled down in. Cuba yesterday, because it was raised too soon. The flag will be raised in Cuba on the lst of January, but the pres ident declares in his message that it will be hauled down as soon as a stable government is established. Who will deny to the people the right to haul the flag down in the Philippines, if they so desire, when stable gov ernment is established there?
 "0ur flag stands for an indissoluble union of indestructible states. Every state is represented by a star, and every territory sees in the constitution 2 star of hope that will some day take it's place in the constellation. What is there in the fag to awaken the zeal or resent the aspirations of vassal colonies which are too good to cast away, but not good enough to be admitted to the sisterhood of states?
 t'Shall we keep the Philippines and amend our fiag2 Shall we add new star-the blood star, Mars-to indicate that we have entered upon career of conquest7 Or shall we borrow the yellow, which in 1898 was the badge of gold and greed, and paint Saturn and bis rings, to suggest carpet-bag gov

apparently Indifferent to sales. man who
used to be in the business himself threw
some light on the subject while in CONVEX

THE JEWS IN PALESTINE.
Fresh Restrictions Imposed by Tur-
key TO Check ZiOnism.
From the London Standard


From the London Standard.
Vienna, Oct 6.-The Poster Lloyd learns
from st. Petersburg that Jewish paper
in that capital has received information
from Palestine that the Turkish authori-
ties there have been ordered from Con-
stantinople to see that no real estate in
Palestine should pass into the hands of
Jews even if they are Turkish subjects,
and that in consequence of this order all
transactions in landed property in the
name of the colonies projected by Barons
Rothschid and Hirsch and the Isralite
Aiilance have been stopped. The above
news is confirmed from other sources and
this harsh measure is, doubtless, connect
ed with the Zionist movement and the
resolutions of the two congresses at Basel
at which il was proclaimed that the
Jews would once again constitute a ma
ton and state, and make Palestine their
future home. As the establishment of a
Jewish bank, with a large capital, was
announced at the same time the Sultan
naturally regards his province of Pales-
tine as a better asset than it ever was,
and by restricting Jewish emigration and
colonization he may hope to raise the
price of eventual consent to the Zionist
programme. Not only, however, is the
selling of land in Palestine to Jews pro-
hlbited, but impediments are also placed
in the way of Jews of different nationah-
ties, who may wish to visit Palestine as
travellers. This is totally different ques-
ton, which touches the treaty rights of
Jewish subjects of various Christian coun-
tries.
1t is, for instance forbidden to Jews
to proceed from Jaffa to Jerusalem, or
to other places in Palestine, unless a non
Jewish resident of Jaffa guarantees that
the visitors in question will leave Pales-
tine again within thirty days of their ar
rival. Such guarantees must, of course,
be paid for, and will in many cases open
a way to corruption and blackmailing. l
saw, few days ago, in a German paper,
that an energetic protest will reach the
porte from the German embassy at Con-
stantinople against the violation of the
rights of German subjects, irrespective of
their creed; and it may be made from
Austria-Hungary, as the violation of
treaty rights in the matter of the Jews
would certainly lead to the violation of
similar rights in reference to Protestants
or people of other denominations, and of
the rights of Europeans in general. The
facts, of course, would first have to be
ascertained, and, should they turn out as
reported an energetic protest on the part
of all European powers would not be out
of place.

THE SNEEZING SEASON.
Long Breaths VIII Drive Away "A
Cold When 1t First Begins.


A cold. as nearly every intelligent per-
son knows, is the result of stoppage
somewhere of free circulation of the blood,
to which one is nrst sensitive through
feeling of chill
So slight is the chill oftentimes that not
until the preliminary sneeze comes is the
victim aware he or she has been in the
track of a draught, or that the tempera-
ture has changed.
The usual notion is that by going in
doors changing to heavier clothing or re-
treating from the moist atmosphere, the
danger is averted. These precautions are
all well enough, but the first and most eff
1cacious measure should be to restore the
quick flow of warm blood through every
vein, and so by heat instantly counteract
the little chill.
one, perhaps the simplest method of do
ing this has been learned by men who
stand on sentinel duty, who are obliged
to suffer more or less exposure in winter,
or who scorn the comforts in cold wealth
er Of overcoat and umbrella.
Their method, when the temperature of
the body or eXtremities is lowered or
sudden chill or quick change from warm
to cold atmosphere is endured, is to in
hale three or four deep breaths, expand
the lungs to their fullest extent, holding
every time the inhaled air as long as pos
sible and then slowly letting it forth
through the nostrils.
In doing this the imitation of the lungs
sets the heart into such quick motion that
the blood is driven with unusual force
along its channels and SO runs out into
the tiniest veins.
This radiates glow down to the toes
and finger tips and sets up a quick reac-
ton against the chill. The whole effect
is to stir the blood and set it in motion
as from rapid exercise.
Let any woman who goes to a dinner or
ball in a low-necked dress. where the
rooms are chilly and her wraps not ac-
cessible try this little cure, or, better
stiU this preventive against cold and en-
10Y it's merits.
I,et her try il when taking a cold drive
or when condemned, by accident to sit
in wet garments. Let the maxim of a vic
finn 20 cold be always: Keep the blood In
rapid action; use the deep-held breaths
when a first chill is felt
