Speaking in 1858 of the founders of the
nation, Lincoln said: They grasped
not only the whole race of man then
living, but they reached forward and
seized upon the furthest posterity. They
and their children's children, and the
countless myrads who should inhabit
the earth in other ages. Wise statesmen
as they were, they knew the tendency of
prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they
established these great self evident
truths, that when in the distant future
some man, some faction, some interest,
should set up the doctrine that none but
rich men, or none but white men, or none
but Anglo-SaXon white men were en-
titled to life. liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, their pOsterity might look up
again to the Declaration of independence
and take courage to renew the battle
which their fathers began, so that truth
and justice and mercy and all the
humane and Christian virtues might not
no man should thereafter dare to limit
and circumscrbe the principles on which
the temple of liberty was being built.
Now, my countymen, If you have been
taught doctrines conflicting with
the Declaration of Independence, if you
have listened to suggestions which would
take away from its grandeur and mu-
tilate the fair symmetry of its proper
tons, let me entreat you to come
back. Return to the fountain whose
waters spring close by the blood of the
Revolution"

The revised Canadian tariff has now
been in operation a little over five
months. Observers of current events
will recall that this tariff provides that
merchandise from England shall be ad-
mitted to Canada at rate % per cent
below that charged the United States on
similar goods. The statistician has just
made his announcement for the period
since the law went into operation, and
the result is decidedly amusing to those
who look upon the discrimination as an
effort of Great Britain to conserve to
herself the trade of her big colony.
During the past five months the exports
from the United States to Canada have
been nearly 20 per cent greater than
during the same period year ago,
while those from Great Britain and her
other colonies have increased less than
10 per cent.

The warning for the Middlebdry town
meeting to be held on March 7 gives
among other object of the meeting the
following:
To determine what sum of money, if any,
shall be appropriated for the purpose of ex-
terminating worms on shade, ornamental OF
forest trees in the public highways of said
town, outside of the corporate limits of the
village of Middlebury, rs provided by No
156 of the laws of A. d. 1898.
1t is to be hoped that adequate provi-
sion will be made for this purpose.
There is every reason to fear that the
coming summer will witness visitation
of the forest worm vastly exceeding that
of last season-and we all know how
bad 1t was at that time. 1t is question
whether the trees can stand second
denudation without being killed out
right. 1t is useless for citizens to at.
tempt the protection of the trees on their
private property when no effort is made
to stop the pest from working in the
foliage along public highways, as the
worm passes from branch to branch
with ease. 1t will require concerted &C
tion and "eternal vigilance" to make
any appreciable Roadway toward the
determination of this plague, and the
town meeting will be just the place to
talk it over and arrange campaign.

A great deal of sarcastic comment has
been passed upon the cars disarma-
ment proposals. The pith of these COM
ments has been that the car himself
should set the example, since ne has the
greatest war organization on earth.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, recently our
minister to Russia, now secretary of the
interior, corrects what appears to be a
very general Misunderstanding of the
objects of the conference called by the
car. He points out that the circular
issued last August merely invites an
agreement not to increase present arma-
ments. If the conference should result
in partial disarmament that would be
an agreeable and unexpected outcome.

GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN LAKE.

Lake Tiicaca is unique among the
waters OF the world. It's extent is four
teen times that Of the Lake OF Geneva.
and the level Of its surface is 12,545 feet
above the sea Along its eastern shore
runs the main cordillera, rising aioft at
its southern end into tbs mighty Mount
Sorata, whose broad expanding glaciers
seem TO lift themselves like silver from
the waves. The shores and islands Of
the lake were-who knows how bong
ago?--the cradle OF remarkable civil
ization, or even series OF civilizations.
according to a writer in HaTper's Mag
azine. Perhaps latest among them was
that OF the Inca tribe. which, rising IN
this place. spread northward over the
hills and down valley TO Cuzco. and
thence stretched forth its conquering
arm over a vast area whose exact linn
it's can no longer be defined.
The Incas lookIi back to Titcaca
Island as the sacred spot whence
emerged their legendary founders,
Nance Capac and his CunsOrt Mama Oc-
clio Huanco. The traveler on the waters
or round the shores of the lake beholds
many a monument of departed great
ness and industrial prosperity. He feels
that he is looking upon historic ground.
and the dim glamour OF well-nigh for
gotten past sheds luster upon peaks
and ranges doubtless untrodden by hu-
man foot. but often traveled by human
eyes and In whose names yet linger the
fossiLzed faith and poetry OF departed
men.
The waters of TitcaCa Lake reflect
no longer the splenior of Inca religious
pageRnts, they are ploughed instead by
three bustling steamers. on one Of

BRIDGE MADE OF BAMBOO.

Major b. F. Cheatham, Of the First
Tennessee Volunteers, sends to the
Engineering News, from Molo, Phil
ippine Islands, very interesting ac-
count of a floating bridge constructed
by the American Army in The island of
Panay which possesses some unusual
features. He says: The 1loilo River
at Molo is 290 feet wide, 20 feet deep
and has a difference in elevation at high
and low tide of three and half feet
The orders were to build bridge suf-
fic'ently strong for infantry and light
artillery TO cross; TO build IL quickly
and cheaply.' AS there was no other
material available Ii was decided 70 use
bamboo exclusively, and in the entire
structure nothing else was used-nOt
even a nail or piece OF wire Long pieces
OF bamboo were assembled IN bundles
OF fifteen and tightly bound with rae
tan. These bun0les suppl. ed the buoy
ancy for the bridge, and were placed
ten feet apart parallel To the current.
They were held in this position by four
stringers, which were securely lashed
TO the bundles so as TO form a fOun-
dation for the roadway, ten feet wide.
On these stringers were placed small
bamboo cut ten feet long, each piece
beng tied to the strngers by the inval-
liable rattan. over these poles were
laid a rough mating woven from spllL
bamboo. which MADE an even surface
strong enough to support "A horse.
A sufficient quantity Of bamboo was
not on hand at the start. ana the work
was delayed somewhat In consequence.
but the bridge was completed In four
days by ten native workmen. The to-
tai cost for material and labor was 1925.
The banks at the place selected were
one and a half feet higher than the
water at high tide. In order 20 allow
carts to cross at all times aprons were
made Cf bamboo. one end fastened %
the bank and the other allowed 20 slip
along two pieces Of plank, placed on
the bridge for that purpose. The bridge
was guyed so as to allow IL TO rise anu
fall with the tide.
The success of this bridge would seem
10 solve a problem here ana our eXpe-
rience shows cOnclusively that with
plenty Of bamboo on hand a regiment
can cross any river here i'm four hours
time. b
