The Farmer and Expansion.

The Kansas House of Representa-
tives has resolved that "Porto Rico and
the Philippines should be held and con-
trolled by the United States govern
ment." One iniers from the comments
of the newspapers that this resolution
stands approved almost unanimously
by the people of the State. This ex-
preston of sentiment is significant,
because Kansas is fairly good repre-
sen alive of the agricultural common
wealths of the West, and the views of
its people may be assumed to be those
of the Western agricultural classes
generally.
The products Of Porto Rico and the
Philippines are not of kind TO come
into competition with the products of
our Western soil. These heretofore
foreign products will come to this
country in increased quantities after
annexation and be purcbasdble at much
lower prices. The farmer will find in
this change nothing at which 10 COM
plain. Cheap sugar, cheap rope, cheap
Irvine, cheap sacks and cheap tobacco
will not hurt him. These will greatly
help him, and give him the opportunity
to pay for the necessary things with
the surplus products of his farm, which
are sometimes poured out for song
under present conditions and restraints
The Kansas farmer will not revolt
at the prospects of cheaper coffee and
tea. He will take his rice at half the
present price, payable in corn which he
has heretofore burned as fuel. On the
other hand, the farmer, if he LOOKS
ahead far enough, cannot help seeing
that the increased sale of manufactures
which annexation will invite will ulti-
mately increase his own opportunity to
sell his wheat, corn, cattle and hogs.
Every increase in manufactures to sup
ply growing business outside the pres
ent limits of the country creates a
greater market in the East for the food
products of the West.-Galveston

I he Telephone.

Most wonderful art thou, o telephonel
Thou speakest language fitted to mine ear,
Thy tongue must be endured with power It's own
That in mine own language seem to hear.
1t may be Greek, or French, or Saxon tongue,
Still thou cans't equally express the thought;
Canst carry notes by feathered songsters sung.
Or joyous news, with sw eetest music fraught.
When In far distant lands, Fate bids me roam
Thy kindly offices to me clear.
For with thine aid, l talk with friends at home,
Who whisper words of comfort in my ear.
Through thee, o piece of mechanism fine,
almost hear the beatings of the heart
or loved Ones speaking DER the line,
Though from me they are many leagues apart
or all known means, this always Is my choice,
To correspond with absent friend of mine,
Though she be lost to sight know the voice.
That sweetly calleth to me DER the line.
Thy web extends far out to East and West
The North and South together closely ties
With slender bonds of wire. like spiders nest,
The news to gather quickly as 1t flies.

And benefit all nations under heaven.

Killed by Their Friends.

Lieut.. Hobson tells in the February
Century why it was that the Spanish
officers at Moro Castle believed the
collier "Merrimac" to be an armored
man-of-war:
1t was not long before the governor
of the MORO came, making me a most
cordial visit. He was followed by the
colonel commanding the artillery.
This officer, after kind salutations, re.
ferred to the heavy fire we had with
stood so long, and to the gallantry of
our fire in return. When l informed
him we had no guns on board, he was
utterly incredulous, and seem to con-
clude that was deceiving him, for he
replied: "But ] know you must have
fired, for was struck myself on the
foot, though l was standing way up
above" i replied that it must have
been fragment resulting from their
own fire; at which the colonel became
serious, as though new and unwel-
come thought was passing through his
mind. He too had taken US for an ar
mored vessel forcing our way through,
and what he said about our fire puzzled
me.
The next time Charette came in, he
told me that wounded men were being
operated on in the room just above the
mems cell, and that the blood was run
ming down the wall, and had run down
the clues of his hammock, 30 that he
had had to change its position. When
l had chance to speak to him and 10
the others afterward, they said that
both Spanish sergeant and Spanish
private had told them that the blood
came from the men we had wounded
that we had killed fourteen and wound
ed thirty-seven!
In visit to the Moro after the sur
render, l was very much puzzled to
find fresh gashes and imprints of vari-
GUS sizes in the rear walls, as though it
had been attacked from the inshore
side, while we had attacked only from
the sea. Every Indication seems to
point to the conclusion that the Spar
iards firing at the Merrimac had struck
their own men across the channel.
This was the more to be expected from
the horizontal fire. Moro, though
elevated, was in the line of fire from
the Reina Mercedes, whose proiectiles,
exploding on the Merrimac, doubtless
showered the banks and the rear of
Moro beyond. No wonder, then, that
they took US for an armored man-of-
war.
