EXPANSION, OR
SPREADING OUT. a: {:

THE kind of expansion most people
l. have been thinking of lately has had
reference to national affairs. In fact,
Uncle Sam, for humanity's sake. put bis
foot upon the Spaniard's neck in Cuba
and demanded satisfaction. Of course all
the Spaniard wanted was just to be let
alone; but he had the Cuban down, at
least was trying to keep him down, and
Uncle Sam demanded that he let the Gu
ban up and get off the island without de-
lay. Well, of course that that was right !;
but the fact is that Uncle Sans foot being
rather large, when it was put on Cu6an
soil tramped upon that same Spaniard IN
Porto Rico, and, very naturally, when the
Spaniard left Cuba he must leave Porto
Rico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped
out with his left foot into the Atlantic, he
could not keep his balance without step
ping out correspondingly into the PACING,
and being afraid that Hawaii would not
hold him up, he reached out little furth-
er toward the Eastern World and hap
pened to step upon the Philippines. There
he found that same Spaniard trying 10 90
these people the same way he had done
in Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself, !,
here's another place for humanitarian
work, 50 I'll send this trifling Spaniard to
his mothers house and-and-and-.
Well, this is pretty rich country, and
believe I'll take this myself, and II Wlll
be better for the people anyway. They
may kick up about it a little at flrst, be-
ing strangers to us but they will soon
learn to love us.
Well, I did not intend to 60 80 much
into detail, as this is not the kind OF e1-
pansion meant to talk about.
The Kind of Expansion
am particularly speaking of, is that
which comes after particularly
Good Dinner.
One feels so large. In great hurry,
hasn't time to take a long breath-iu fact
has hardly any breath at all-gasping and
groaning. Now this kind of Expansion
Is due to Indigestion, from FERMENTA-
TIoN of the food.

For The Ledger.
Attention Alliancemen.

Friday July 14th is the day for
our county Alliance meeting. This
meeting will be one of the most
important in the history of the
alliance in Lancaster county, and
we would urge upon sub-Alliances
to have delegates or hand prompts
ly at 10 o'clock, and not only
delegates but it is very important
that every Allianceman in the
county attend that meeting. A
great deal depends upon the actions
OF the Alliance on that day. We
wonder sometimes if the Alliance
men tn Ike the time and trouble to
think what the Alliance has done
for the farmer in the past. 1t
has killed Jute trust. 1t has
broken the tie trusts. The Alli-
ance is the best educator in the
world in n business way. We
have been the means of improving
the grade of fertilizers and it costs
several dollars less than when the
AIliancemen organized. Our peo-
people are better informed on all
questions pertaining to the inter-
est of Iaboring classes. Now with
trusts and combinations being
formed all around us and all over
the country in every calling of
life, what is out duty as Alli-
ancemen! Let us go to work
while we have our order in good
condition. Let us revive it where
1t Is tagging, reOrganize the sub
Alliance where they have become
disorganized. There is no farmer,
let his business be large or small,
but what has been benefited by
the Alliance. The State Exchange
saves to the farmers of the State
several times the capital stock
every year. Talk about desolving
the State Exchange, burying the
Alliance and all such stuff as that.
We know the Alliance is not out
of date and we believe it has
many years to live and has great
work to do and we believe it will
do it. j + NIsBET.

SIayers of Gen. Luna Acquitted
of Murder.

Manila, July 7, 7:3Q m-Tho
trial at Cahanatum of the slayers
of Gen. Luna, tn, Filipino leader
who was assassinated by the guard
of Aguinaldo's $ residence, is ended.
The accused were acquitted on the
ground of self defense. The
testimony showed that there was
a conspiracy on the part of Luna
and other officers to kill Aguinal-
do and make Luna dictator.
Luna's death seemed to have
strengthened Aguinaldo's leader

porters are outwardly loyal to

Washington, Jan. 25.-The entire *
ecutiye session Of the senate yestef-
| day was devoted wholly to chez discus
sion of the promotion of Adlnirals
| Sampson and Schley and other naval
officers engaged in the Santiago cam
| paicn. over the heads Of officers who
| were their superiors in rank. The con.
troyersy was then postponed for TWEEN
ty DAYS after a vote had been taken
to call for the records of the navy de-
partment bearing on the conduct OF all
| affected by the advance. Little dls-
| cussion arose oyer the resolution. oil
which Senator Butler was the author,
calling for these documents. AS orig
inally offered it asked for the reasons
for the advancement, but the resolu-
ton was modified so as to request the
record only. Tie first vote was on a
motion to lay the motion on the table,
aud on these the ayes and nays were
taken, resulting, ayes, q; nays. 30.
The resolution was then allowed to
pass without further division.
Previous to this, however, the SEN
ate had been engaged il an animated
discussion, participated III ly a large
number Of senator's. Tire main Ques-
ton was first over the general policy
of promoting officers over others, who
were characterized as ''quite as de-
serving though less fortunate in that
they were deprived of such active par
ticipaticn in the war;" and. second, as
to the relative merits of Sampson and
Schley.
Senators German and wellington Of
Maryland, one Republican and the 9th
err q Democrat. united in n fierce at
tack upon the navy department for
favcring Sampson over Schlcy. while
and Money attacked the whole system
Of promotion as a ''species of favor1t-
ism which was not warranted by the
facts. The met; Cd of the administra-
ton was defended by Messrs. Hale,
Chandler and Lodge.
Senator Wellington was especially
jealous in the advocacy of the claims
of Admiral Schley and in the %presenta-
tion of reasons why Admiral Sampson
should not be preferred e hiG,, and
both he and his Democratic colleague,
Mr.. German, made the statement that
If the official papers were ordered
they would demonstrate beyond q pos
sible question the fact that Schley, and
not Sampson, fought the battle Of
Santiago. Senator Lindsay found
much in the promotion of both Schley
and Sampson over Commodore Wat
SCH to conc amn. Senator Perkins,
Senator Plat and Senator Pettigrew
also criticised the system rs n liable
to result in unfriendltnoss ualess very
cautiously entered upOn. agreeing that
at any rate the semitic should have the
records so that it could Judge for itself
how those men specially favored COM
pared with those men who were de-
hied the loaves and fishes.

One bit of dietetical gossip may well
cause a smacking of lips and an limo
cent chuckle of delight all over the
child-world and among some hundreds
of millions Of grown-ups. After ex-
pertinent and observation in the Ger
man army, sugar has been officially
recommended as a part of the food OF
soldiers. It not only helps to increase
their weight, but during long marches
it diminishes hunger and thirst, and
wards off the effect of heat and ex-
haustion. Nevertheless, there are med
zeal writer's of high authority who ad-
wise against the use of manufactured
sugar, and suggest that we take our
necessary share of saccharine matter
in those combinations which are fur
nished by natures W laboratory,
such as dates. figs, raisins. etc.

AN OLD CLAIM SETTLED.
Colombia Agrees to Pay Indemnit.
Demanded.

Colombia Agrees to Pay Indemnity
Demanded.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The state de-
partnent has just settled a claim Of
long standing by accepting the offer
of the government Of the United States
of Colombia to pay the sum Of $4,000
in three installments in satisfaction of
the claim for indemnity Of the owners
Of the Panama Star and Herald. This
offer was made through United States
Minister Hart ut Bogota. who adj
vised its acceptance. The case has
lived through the administrations Of
no less than seven secretaries of state,
each of whom has steadfastly urged
it along. The claim was based on the
arbitrary action of the military gov
sernor Of the province OF Panama in
suppressing the newspaper. which was
operated under an American charter,
on the ground that it was inimical to
the government.
