ONE of the effects of the Mckinley
prosperity, which has struck the coun-
try, and especially the North west, is
the scarcity of workmen to meet the
usual and ordinary demands upon Ia
Dor. All through the northwestern
states is witnessed the extraordinary
spectacle of women working in the
harvest fields to save the small grain,
because the male population is busy
with building railroads. Under demo-
cratic policys, men cried for work now,
the demand for laborers is so great,
that much farm products must be vast
ed, and many enterprises must re-
main undone. So has protection en-
gendered confidence and confide nce has
sent spinning the wheels of commerce
and civilization.

A New Invasion.

Major Sternberg, paymaster OF Unit
ed States volunteers, writing from Ma
Mia, asks that the attention of the
President be directed to the circum-
stance that not less than ten per cent
of the volunteers honestly wish to
remain in the islands, make homes
there and engage in agriculture,
numbering and mining. In commend
ing this matter to favorable attention
Major Sternber2 says;
From every point Of view this should
be encouraged unless America means to
haul down its flag and sneak home. The
time will come when every American will
recognize the value of these islands. Take
but one item Cattle thrive here, the finest
country 1 ever saw. The Orient can be
he supplied with beef from here. Now
these soldiers wish to be discharged here
with travel pay. This will be their capital.
They would many of them prefer to be
mustered out here, with nothing, rather
than be compelled to go the States to be
mustered out. These men think they
should be paid travel pay il they intend
settling in these islands. Now all OF this
is based upon the idea that the United
States will retain some sort Of interest in
these islands, Knowing the value of the
pioneer, 1 say deliberately that each Of
these plain soldiers, young, vigorous, and
used to the climate by remaining here will
be of inestimabe value to our country.
The only way TO Americanize these islands
is by the example of American pioneers
engaged in making homes for themselves.
take no stock in the cry that white men
cannot work in the tropics. They can,
when working for themselves"
If this officer is correct in his state
ments, certainly the concession the
settlers ask, that they receive their
travel pay the same as if they returned
to the United States, is not unreason-
able, The government would be the
gamer and civilization should be the
gamer, by giving these young men
fresh from the ranks of American citi-
zenship, thrifty and enterprising, every
reasonable inducement to remain and
Occupy the land.

The Irish lite raiy genius has unfolded
some of its rarest qualities in America.
On the Irish religious teacher bss
fallen the mantle of st. Patrick, and he
has been the strong incubator of patri-
otism and fidelity to the cause of his
adopted land. The new military star
that recently blezed out in the eastern
skies, above the regions of the upper
Nile, fixing the gaze of all the world,
Sir Herbert Kitchener, shows that the
Irieh blood has not exhausted its
Astounding fertility.
All these things, the whole broad
area of Irish history, as we'll as the
pious life of the good Patrick, may
properly be recalled on the trad
itional date of the Saints translation.

those qualities into speech. In some
of his more serious moods he said:
Everywhere [ have been treated as a
friend and as the representative of your
friends and brothers. In fact, have ac-
tually discovered the open door, open to
such an extent as would satisfy even the
yearnings of the rear admiral who has made
the circle of the globe in search Of it. 1
think may say as testimony to the good
feeling sought to be encouraged on our side
OF the water that the President gave the
best illustration of 1t when he said in my
letter of credence, that he relied with conf
dence upon my constant endeavor during
my stay In Great Britain to promote the In
terest and prosperity of both nations"
CHEERS aud cries OF "bravo.w
To some of the facts OF the recent
history of his own country Mr. Choate
thus referred;
"Now / have little more to say OF my
own country. (Cries Of go ON Our young
republic had hard work during the past CEN
fury to subdue the continent and to turn
a wilderness into smiling and wealthy
garden. But that business Is now pretty
well finished, and so last year, your brother
Jonathan started out to see the world, He
donned seven hundred league boots, and
planted his footsteps on the isles OF the sea-
And what gigantic strides he made-Ha-
wall, then Manila, and another step,-My
Lord Charles would have brought him to
Hong Kong. Well. our interest and COM
MERGE differ only in degree; and it isl
won't say, as Lord Charles Beresford did,
by putting fleets side by side-but by
common purpose and united voice for us
to command peace for the mutual support
of the commerce of the two countries"
He spoke with mingled tact and di-
rectness of the old wars and later con-
tentions of the two nations and made
this humorous reference to the Ven
ezula incident:
"You know that on our side of the water
we love occasionally to twist the lions tail
for the mere sport Of hearing him roar,
Qaughter) Well, that time he disappoint-
ed us. He would not roar at all. He sat
silent as the sphinx; and by dint OF mutual
forebearance--our sober second thought
aiding your sober first thought-prevented
everything but mere war OF words.
Every incident of his reception indi-
Gates entire capacity on the part of the
English to "catch on" to Mr.. Choate's
humor, and that the new ambassador is
a persona unanimously grata to court
aud people.

The Department Stores Win Again.

In 1897 the Chicago City Council
took trouble to pass, for the benefit of
the butchers and the discontinue of
the department stores, an ordinance
imposing fine upon any person or
corporation carrying on a provision
business and general merchandise
business in the same building.
A test case was made under this ord
nance. The proprietor of the Boston
Store was fined in justice court for
selling provisions on the sixth floor of
the building in which he dealt in gen
eral merchandise. On appeal to the
Superior Court the defendant was held
not guilty of any violation of law. No
toriously the object of the ordinance
wa3 to help the butchers and injure the
department stores, but of this the
Court naturally refused TO take notice.
"This is not question of municipal
policy" says the opinion, "but ques-
ton of municipal power" The City
Council had made a certain use of the
public power. Was that use justified?
The Court held that it was not, for
"the Court knows no reason why the
public safety, health or morals, or even
the welfare of the people is directly
involved in the sale of meats in store
where either goods, jewelry or other
articles mentioned in the ordinance are
sold" The Council had USED its power
to regulate markets for the purpose of
prohibiting certain markets from COM
peting with certain other markets,
The use of the taxing power for the
crushing of business rivals has become
familiar device. The Illinois Legis-
lature has tried, and is trying, 10 graf
ify the enemies of department stores
by finding some measure of this kind
that will hold water, and the City
Cornell would have great pleasure in
establishing large license fees for the
different classes of goods in the depart
ment stores. Both the Republican and
Democratic parties of Chicago have in
their municipal campaigns no mercy
on those stores. But platforms and
legislatures and councils seem to have
a great deal of trouble in discovering a
sound legal means of pushing the big
fellows down.-New York Sun.

Erin, Oh Erin.

Like he bright lamp that shone in Kildare's holy
fame,
And burned through long ages OF darkness and
Storm
Is the heart that sorrows have frowned in vain,
Whose spirit outlives them, unfading and warm.
Erin, oh Erin, thus bright thro' the tears
OF a long night of bondage, thy spirit appears.
The nations have fallen, and thou still art young,
Thy sun is but rising. VIII en- others set;
And tho slavery's cloud DER thy morning hath hung
The full noon of freedom shall beam round thee
yet.
Erin, oh Erin tho long in the shade,
Thy star shall shine out when the proudest shall
fade.
Unchilled by the rain, and unwaked by the wind
The lily lies sleeping through winters cold hour,
Till Springs light touch her letters unbnd
And daylight and liberty bless the young flower
Thus Erin. oh Erin, thy winter Ia past,
And the hope that lived thro' it shall blossom at
last. Thomas Moore

ChOate In England.

Ambassador Choate made his first
public appearance in London at the
banquet of the Chambers of Commerce
of the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
Interest in Mr.. Choate before an En-
glish assemblage is very lively in this
country. He is very different sort of
an American from any other who has
gone, in recent times at least, to repre-
sent this country at the ancient court
of St. James. All that Mr.. Choate
says, all that the English press and
people say about Mr.. Choate, will be
scanned with curious and eager inter-
est on this shore.
Mr.. Choate is a very pronounced
character. His individuality is intense.
The Euglishman's sense of humor, the
subject of much railery, will be put by
Mr.. Choate to the seVerest test ever
applied to it. The frequent interjec-
ton of slaughter and applause" into
the report of the ambassadors speech
seem to upset the theory of the prov
erbial incapacity of the English mind
to see joke or appreciate humor.
The report says Mr.. Choate's humor.
Gus remarks met with peals of laughter
He had wonderful reception. His
speech could hardly fail to warm up the
Brit. sh heart in the present status Of
international feeling. 1t was full Of
national good fellowship, expressed
with that grace and felicity for which
Mr.. Choate is so famous when he put

UP to date General Gomez is iusti-
flying the good opinion of him the
American people were holding. He
recognizes but one power in Cuba, that
of the United States. His example,
and his hold upon the people ought to
facilitate the work of disbanding the
patriot army, and restoring order. If
the old leader passes successfully the
ordeal of peace, his rank as the future
hero of republican Cuba is as certain
as, and only less glorious than that of
Washington in these United States of
America.

The great Won Hoist has again de-
clared in what directions and to what
extent he will permit the United States
to expand. The test of permissible
expansion is "what lies between the
two places" the annexer and the an
nexed. If what lies between "be land
that is in the main adapted TO the needs
of civilized man, there is contiguity,"
but water is fatal. In his next lecture
the great Won Hoist is expected to
show that islands not accessible to the
mainland by half hourly ferryboats are
unconstitutional and not to be endured.

THE mere name of roast beef has in
it something of the quality of "square
meal" Even "canned roast beef" has
much in the term that is reassuring,
despite the reproach that sometimes
attaches to Scanned goods" But when
this canned article was "roasted" in a
cauldron kettle and is simply boiled
beef, as appears from the inquiry pros
ecuted in Chicago, the last charm that
can commend the diet is dispelled.
Meat extract was made from the water
in which the meat was roasted" and
the tasteless, stringy, innutritious
refuse, often vile in its decomposed
condition, was sent to feed the soldiers
in Cuba and Porto Rico.
