one doubts that the Samoan group would
now be peaceful. advanced and pros
porous dependency of the United States
instead of being in exactly the state
which the anti expansionists prophesied
would only follow annexation.
One conspicuous exception to the sim
ilarlty between the anti-expansonists
from 1903 to 1899, and one not dwelt on
by Mr.. McMaster, is the new discovery
by them OF the principle that We have
no right, moral or constitutional, to at
tempt to govern without the consent of
the governed" Our early fathers who
fought and bled for the constitution, and
drank from the pure fountain of liberty
which inspired it, never dreamed of urg-
ing that new territory could not be ac-
quired and ruled without consent of the
governed. When they acquired by pur-
chase from France the Louisiana tract,
they never thought of asking the natives
for their consent to be governed. 's This
argument of our 18th century anti-ex-
pansionists is nothing buta pretty myth
and e jingle OF words something like
Bryan's thou shalt not cruelty mankind
with cross of gold" and "the free ooin-
age of silver at the ratio of Is to l." No
one will deny that, consent which 10
not freely given and which can not be
freely withdrawn, is no consent at all.
1t is coercion pure and simple. Do our
own states consent" to be governed Z?
Well, if so, let one OF them attempt to
withdraw its consent, "a privilege
which is the essence Of continuous con-
ssnt-and what will happen? In the
early COS a number OF our southern
states declared that they would not icon.

United States, and seeded. The result
was bloody and fierce war, in cempar-
ison with which our late unpleasantness
with Spain was but . ripple on the
oceans swell. These rebel states were
coerced by the force of arms to consent
to be governed" and in this sense, and
ne other, can these terms DO construed.
for there il no such thing - government
without coercion. Ask any citizen il he
needs laws TO keep him frsm being pick

SENATOR RUNNER in the senate and
Representative LaFollette in the house
have introduced their freight rate bill.
The bill provides for agraduated rate Oh
grain according to distance, ranging from
81 per ton for l00-mile haul to So. 80 for
600 miles. In some instances the cut on
the prevailing rates on other products is
as deep as 20 per cent. An average cut
of 20 per cent is made on agricultural
products, fruits, vegetables and lumber.

people of the Samoan islands at that
time were eager for annexation to the

protection of our government, and the
report of the special agent sent out by
President Grant in that year was so fav
orable that he again sent him in 1879
with instructions to arrange for per-

States flag was hoisted over the islands,
and the natives elected Col. Steinberger,

a fitting subject. Go where we may,

the piano is ever present. In the ma
iority of cases the instrument is a Kim

Frogs as Weather Prophets.

From the New York Herald.
Have you seen the little weather
frogs? They are knowing little chaps
and can always tell when it is going
to rain and when it Is going to be fine,
and if you will purchase a couple of
them, just for company for each other,
you will never be caught out in the
rain without your umbrella. These lit
tie weather prophets are newcomers in
our land, being German immigrants.
They have been shown for few days
in large bird store.
When I saw them the little frogs
were perched on two sticks, which ran
across a glass sided affair, like an
aquarium box. These sticks were al
about half filled with clear water.
The majority of the little fellows
were a dull brown. very nearly the
color of the stick on which they sat,
and a few were between green and
brown. These frogs are really tree
frogs, and have the faculty of chang
ing their color to match the object upon
which they are perched.
They receive the name of weather
frogs" because they jump into the wat
er upon the approach of rain or bad
weather, and come out again when the
weather shows signs of changing tC
clear. When full grown these tiny
frogs are a little less than an inch In
length.
In captivity the weather frog is kept
in glass jar or globe, which is covered
on top with a wire screen. Water is
put in the bottom of the jar, and al
a convenient height stick is placed
for the little frog to jump upon.
The frog is fed on flies in summer
and in winter on meal worms. Its food
must be kept alive.

BUFFALO HUMP FACTS
Rich Development Expected in
Central Idaho.
A REMARKABLE SHOWING
Some Samples Which Assay $1,000 6
Ton - Some Astounding Results.
The Work on the Jumbo Is
the Most Extensive.

Horace l.. Mcintyre, the well known
mining engineer, brother of Charles NC
Intyre, in charge of government irri-
cation on the Fort Peck reservation,
has recently visited the Buffalo Hump
district, and to Spokesman Review
reporter told the following interesting
budget of facts. Mr.. Mcintyre went
ests of the Norman Cameron syndicate.
Said he:
There will be more than one Buff
falo Hump, so far as rich developments
are concerned, in Central Idaho this
season. The mineral zone Of which the
Buffalo Hump camp is but small part
is fully 100 miles long and 80 miles
wide, and the largest part of it awaits
the prospector. I expect great things
of the fissure veins in the granite.
There have been some veins opened
outside Of the granite of which / lave
not so favorable an opinion, but [ must
say that the great fisSu"e V"ilS OF
the Buffalo Hump camp are the most
remarkable showings | have ever seen.
Il have been into the surface cuts
on the Big Buffalo ledge and have
broken a piece of ore off and upon eX-
animation have found it speckled with
free gold. l broke another in a differ
ent part of the cut and it, too, was rich
in visible gold. ! did this again and
again and always with the same as
toniShing result. And yet the greater
part of the value Of the ore is not the
gold which appears to the naked eye,
but that which is concealed in the ore.
l have seen samples which showed no
visible gold, but which assayed over
$1,000 per ton.
Il have seen over 20 feet of the Big
Buffalo ledge where the snow had been
cleared from it and | am prepared to
believe that I did not see more than
half its width.
THE trend of the veins in the HUMP
camp is almost due north and south
varying a few degrees to the east. The
dip of the vein is about 60 degrees. The
camp shows up perfect network OF
these assures, and in almost all cases
values We're high.
THE work on the Jumbo is the most
extensive in the camp. The upper
tunnel is in on the ore vein $50 feet
and shows a fine body of high grade
ore across the face of the tunnel The
lower tunnel is in 126 feet and has not
yet reached the rich pay chute in which
the upper tunnel was when work stop
ped on it. Nevertheless the lower tun
mel shows values only slightly less thar
those in the best of the upper TUNE
proving that the values go down"
Mr.. Mcintyre will return to the
Hump shortly and will take charge o.
the development of the Monte Cristt
claim for the Norman-C Cameron syndi
cate He will soon prepare an accur
ate map of the camp, a thing which i:
much needed.
