refused Hawaii. declined to aid Cuba
and threatened war with England over
strained construction of the Monroe
doctrine, and at the same time devel-
oped Goxeyism eand, borrowed money

But the farmers determined. to get at
a foreign market finding our ships pro-
tected out of existence, they hired for
elgn bottoms, until export increase
swung the balance of trade enormously
in our favor. Therefore Mr.. Powell s
argument is that expansion is essential
to national Industrial health.
Growth or decay is law of nature,
he adds, and the policy of contraction
eontrayeping this law means financial
misery. AS agriculture lies at the bot
tom of all other industries, the weight
of the burden falls upon the farmer,
But under protection as we have it to-
day, the protected industries are worse
off than the unprotected Between trade
duty and social duty he sees no differ
ence, for thef1eldl is the world, and God
never intended us to fence off corners
and thrive by ourselves. The argument.
of the contractionists that We have
enough to do to take care of ourselves
he holds proves too much. If that Is
true we should abandon foreign mis-
sions and close up our foreign colleges;
we should concentrate our work upon
ourselves religiously, educationally and
politically, and that would be the great
est of blunders-.
The speaker from that point went on
to cite Illustrations as in the case of
England. So, too, in rthe attempts Of
Europe to rescue the Holy Land, which,
if they did .ilfot result In the immediate
end sought for rescued her from the
dark ages. The invention of.printing
and the discovery Of, America, were ex7
pansion movements. as was thesTeform-
alton by Luther. So expansion agita-
tion this Hast year has given us more
heroic public spirit, and already we
have a cleansing of the political stables
He concluded with the expression of be-
lief that freedom Of trade is AN emf
nently agricultural doctrine, and was
made a foundation stone in the Consti-
tuition, in the provision that no State
shall lay tariff against another. He
holds that President Mckinley sees that
our colonial system must be with open
doors. In this, he declares, republican,
ism breaks with imperialism. For Euro

BLOSSOM DAY.

~ The State Floral Society has adopted
I the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the California State
: Floral Society advocates the adoption
of blossom day. as a California fes-
tival, to be celebrated in the villages
and rural districts of the State, when
the fruit trees are in bloom; that the
society direct dts efforts toward. the,
adoption of blossom day in the public
schools of the State its observance to
consist of a half holiday, in which the
scholars will, under the direction of
their teachers, or special instructors,
devote their time, either in orchard
or schoolroom, to the study Of fruit
blossoms, with the view of encouraging
in the mind of the child an interest
in horticultural pursuits. Be it further
Resolved. That the society shall here
after observe blossom day by holding
an annual reunion in some orchard dis
trict when the trees are in bloom, time
and placeito be hereafter fixed. 49,
AT first one is undecided as to the
wisdom or unwisdom Of that PROPOSE
ton. If the day fixed upon is a nom
school day, as a Saturday, the obser-
vance can do no harm. If it is the idea
that still another school holiday shall
be established, then the matter is open
to debate. For with all that pupils in
the schools have to do now, they have
none too many hours for accomplish
ing their tasks.
The idea itself is not a bad one, in
deed 1t is refreshing to think of a spring
festival In older countries they have
many such festive events. The opening
of spring gives occasion for one, the
beginning Of summer for another, the
ripeness of the harvest for another, the
garnering of the products of the soil
for another, the close of the season of
growth for still another, and then there
are two winter festivals, besides the rel
igfous, social and national holidays.
We have now Thanksgiving Day as a
festival occasion, Christmas New
Years. Washingtons Birthday, Easter.
May Day, Memorial Day, Admission
Day, Labor Day, and every now and
then a proclaimed holiday by special
declaration Of the Executive, and it is
proposed to add Dewey Day.. but that is
covered by May Day. not a legal holi-
day. however. IF now we are to have
Blossom Day, it ought to be given dig
nifty by general Observance and with
drawal for that day from the usual vo-
cations of life
Horticulture is fine art in agricult-
ure- 1t is the most refining and elevat-
ing Of all occupations related to filling
the soil. 1t rises superior to grain cult
ure. to the. craving of the vine, to delv-
ing in earth for precious and useful
minerals and metals. It is, in short, the
artistic In earth culture and its study
is refining In it's influence. To cultivate
a love for horticulture, therefore, may
well be conserved. IF a Blossom Day
festival annually will tend in that di-
rection, then it should be favored.

AGRICULTURAL AND EXPANSION

The thought of Rev Mr.. Powell Of
Clinton, distinguished orator before
the Central New York Farmers Club
at Utica, that what is termed territorial
expansion is really a demand of agri-
culture, If not new. is certainly pre-
scented in such a novel and aggressive
way ais to possess a good deal of inter
est. Mr.. Powell in that address held
that, what we are in the greatest need
of is Industrial, rather than territorial
expansion; that this has been crowding
upon us ever since long before the war
of the rebellion. That is to say, we
must find markets for disposal of our
surplus crops home markets under pro-
lection. proving insufficient.
!. Agriculture first began the expansion
system in seeking foreign consumption.
Manufactures followed of necessity, as
eager to get out Of the country as We're
agricultural products. He holds that the
war came as an incident, and with it an
astonishing breaking down of the bar
riers to expansion. To establish freer
trade and prevent expansion was Mr..
Cleyeland's scheme, while President
McKinIeys is to promote protection ana

A BRAVE GERMAN PAPER.

| Here at last we ilave.on frank, open
speaking German paper, the Frank
furter Zeitung. 1t declares that Ger
many was in error in sending a large
feet to Manila in the first place. That
| If protection of Germans there resident
was the purpose, one ship would have
done as we'll. That the sending in of
fleet was cause sufficient for the sus-
picion by the Americans. Besides, it
confesses that the German ships were
very officious at the beginning of hos
tilities. 1t refers to the recent con-
firmation of the charge that the Ger
man cruiser Irene threatened to bonn
bard the F1Hpines who we're allied with
the Americans when they were about
to attack the Spaniards at Subig Bay.
The ''Zeitung' is not at all surprised
that Americans have regarded this as
siding with the Spanish and against
us. 1t goes further than this by de-
claring that it is well known in Ger
many that the German commanders of
the fleet at Manila did not act upon
their own initiative, but under instruc-
tons from Berlin, and it intimates that
these instructions came direct from the
Emperor 30
That is what has all along been be-
lieved in this country. The Emperor
is well known to be suffering from abb
normal enlargement Of the organ of
self-esteem, and the suggestion that he
issued orders over the head Of the For
eign Office, is quite in keeping with the
character of the man who fancies that
he holds a commission direct from the
Almighty, and that all there is of Ger
many worth considering is congested in
his imperial person. .se-
The frank statement of the German
newspaper. published under the very
nose OF the Emperor, goes, far to vfndi-
cate Captain Coghlan, who, while in
discreet and violating the ethics Of his
profession by speaking contemptuously
Of the head of a great nation with
which we. are at peace, nevertheless
spoke the truth. For that the German
commanders and their underlings at
Manila were insolent, aggressive,
itching for fight and sscaleulatingly
active to provoke it with US, is the tes-
timony of every one Of our men who
was at Manila and vicinity during the
troublesome period. 81
Captain Coghlan should be gently in
formed that it is indiscretion to speak
as he did while posing as an officer of
the navy. But he should not be sharply
censured. and above all no apology
should be made to Germany, for none is
due. The charge of her i'll concealed
hostility to US is perfectly sound, and
can be established in the mouths of
hundreds of witnesses, and by the pages
of voluminous official records. 1t re-
mains to- be seen now, if the inflated
self-esteem of William will lead him to
call down the s:Frankfurter, and to de-
mand it's punishment for having init
mated that his imperial highness, the
Kaiser, is capable of playing a double
faced part with Power to which he is
bound by a treaty of amity and obliga-
ton. =

The dispatches say that the Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy by en-

just been tried at Chicago, with such
success that communication was easily

belief lis entertained that far greater

The world will certainly hope for the
entire success of the experiments fur

one direction. Thus by diversity of eff

pleasure for residents Nor is there
any reason why. under@wise regulations
