EXPANSION EXPANDED.

Ihe Hon. Cecil Rhodes has outdone
himself in his latest dream of expen-
sion. The man who projects a rail-
road from Cairo to the Cape and has
settled to his own satisfaction that the
control of Asia, Africa, the Antipodes

States"
he has planned system of conquest
sufilcient to keep busy all the iingos
Tor century to come. He has ma
terially increased the size of the white
mans burden, of which Mr.. KfnIire
sings. He maps out for this country
nothing less than an empire extending
from pole to pole and from Maine to
Manila. and in a later interview. Mr.
Rhodes will probably advocate a rail
way from st. Michaers to Terra del
Fuego.
1t is interesting to note that Mr.
Rhodes makes no exception to Vene-
zuela when he predicts the rule of the
United States will extend over all South
America. A few years ago England
was doing little expanding i'm South
America herself, about the time Mr..
Rhodes and his friend, DR.. Jameson.
were expanding in the Transvaal. Rut
Mr.. Rhodes has seen light since then
Evidently he is a convert to the Mon
roe doctrine. He does, however. make
an exception of Canada whek he ure-
diets American dominion over all the
western hemisphere. Can it be that
Mr.. Rhodes is afraid of arousing the
enmity of the Canadians, or
is he - laying deep plct?
Possibly he thinks that after the
States have done all the fighting and
finished all the annexng, Canada will
quietly come in and annex the whole
outfit
Many interesting contingencies would
doubtless arise in governing Mr.

of all, the capital and District of Co
lumbia would have to be removed to
Panama. Otherwise the mileage paid
the senator from Patagonia and the
representatives from the common
wealth of Chile would break the treas

PENSIONS FOR AGE.

Harvards recent decision to provide
caused some rivalry as to which college
originated the system. Columbia seems
to have been the real pioneer in this
direction, the plan going into effect
there in December 1890. In 1897 Yale
made somewhat similar arrangement,
and the Harvard scheme does not be-
come operative till next fall. The sys-
TENS in the several universities differ
in a variety of details, but especially
in regard to the term of service that
entities the beneficiary to his reward.
AT Columbia the period is only fifteen
years, at Harvard twenty, and if the
reports are correct, twenty-five at Yale.
Considering the small salary paid pro-
fessors, the demands that are made
upon them and their meagre opportu
mites for accommodating wealth or for
turning to any other occupation, it may
be said that there is ample justification
for pensions.
But there is another phase of this
matter. The example thus set by three
of the largest universities in the coun-
thy may be reasonably expected to
have a wide influence, though not
greater, upon other colleges than upon
institutions of another kind, and thus
very broad question is theoretically
opened. If, for example, it is a good
thing to pension college professors who
are well advanced in years, why not
pension old age everywhere? Not all
the old employees of public institutions
and business houses receive high sala-
ries, and in not a few instances. dis
charge after long and faithful service
entails want and actual privation.
Why should not these men be cared
for as well as college professors? Here
we come at once to a form of pater-
nalism, and that is closely allied to the
cooperative principle of socialism.
state control may be yet far off, but in
other matters there is an undeniable
socialistic drift to human affairs.

OUT AND ABOUT.

Persons who are interested in the
subject of Christian Science will find
food for thought in two small books
which have been recently published by
the ReVell company of New York and
are for sale by the Sanford Sawtelle
Company.
One is entitled can English View of
Christian Science: An Exposure" 1t
relates in the first person the expert
ence of young English high school
teacher who, being threatened with
nervous collapse, was persuaded by a
friend to have recourse to an American
healer from Boston. The story of her
initial scepticism, her apparent recov-
cry and her dismay ON finding herself
at the end exactly where she was at
the beginning of a course of treatment
are told boldly, but with. conviction, and
the dialogue so arranged as to convey
considerable information and answer
al sorts of possible queries. What les
sons the interest, detracting from the
value of the book is the animus which
the writer, Anne HarWood, entertains
against Christian Science. 1t seems
hardly necessary to be so bitter over
the thing in order to make out good
case.
An English View of Christian
Science" does not hesitate to impute
low motives to the Christian Scientists
practitioners who, it would appear from
her testimony are mercenary, snob-
Dish and blasphemous, as we'll as silly
and, all in all, frauds and humbugs
She takes the reader to a Christian
Science church, where. according to
her. there are many strange sights to
be seen such as the amending of the
Lords prayer, in accordance with Mrs
Mary c. Bake Eddy's Science and
Health"
Boston figures largely in this book
being, as it would appear the head
quarters of the cult. The United
states is the happy hunting ground of
the Christian Scientists, for the direct
Dry of practitioners given consists of %
closely printed pages of names. Ar
kansas has only five healers, Ala
bama only two, while Chicago alone
has over 20. London has four Christian
Science practitioners, Scotland two,
France three and Germany three. The
denomination owns between 200 and SOC
church edihces in this country and
numbers $4,000 worshipers. The Mas
sachusetts Metaphysical College is the
great nursery of Christian Science;
tuition costs $500, a startling sum, when
II is considered that the course lasts
barely three weeks, but the judgment
Of students is that this is a small sum,
indeed, to charge for the imparting of

and as money maker it far outclasses

How severe the winter has been down
south may be judged from the fact that
New orleansqproposes to have q city
ordinance compelling abutters to clean
the snow off their sidewalks The
years blizzard caught the town wholly
unprotected in this respect, and words
were not sufficient to induce the peo-
pie to shovel snow. AS the houses
were not built to protect the inmates
against such unprecedented cold, the
primitive heating apparatus could not
keep the water from freezing indoors,
and many a good housewife mourns the
loss of cut-glass caraffes and things.
For the first time in seventy years
there was ice in the Mississippi at New
Orleans; and, taken all around, the
past winter is likely to be memorable
in that neighborhood for many years
to come.
