Mckinley on Expansion.

President Mckinley Was in Minneapolis
last Friday and made lengthy address
covering the history of our national ex-
pansion. He fully outlined the purpose
and hope of the administration regarding
our recent colonial acquisitions. Speaking
OF the Philippines he said 1.-THE future of
the new possessions is in the keeping OF
congress, and congress is the servant of the
people. That they will be retained under
the benign sovereignty of the United
States, do not permit myself to doubt.
That they will prove a rich and invaluable
heritage,I feel assured. That congress will
provide for them a government which will
bring them blessings, which promote their
material interests as well as advance their
people in the path of civilization and intelli-
gence, l confidently believe. They will
not be governed as vassals or serfs or
slaves-they will be given government of
liberty, regulated by law, honestly admin
stored without oppressive exacting; taxa
ton without tyranny justice without bride
education without distinction of social con-
ditions; freedom of religious worship, and
protection in lite, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness"

Shrewd Bookkeeping.

The Bennington Banner publishes list
of the few towns in the state reporting ex-
cess OF ten per cent profit on liquor agency
sales tor the year ending February, 1899.
There are 28 towns in the list and thew re.
port an excess of profit amounting to
$15S1.27, which amount goe, to the state
treasury. The Banner calls attention to
the short list and the small amount Of
money, and asks what becomes of the
proht. The answer is very easy. Just a.
soon as the legislature passed the law fore
ing the towns to divide the profits with the
state, the towns found way to keep the
profits from going over ten per cent.
Bookkeeping does it. Fictitious charge.
of rental, light, fuel, sundries, ETC., will do
it.-St. Adams Messenger.
