no geography in right and wrong.
14-Is not the maintenance of United
States power in the Philippines essential to
enable us to prevent the Gismemberment OF
China?
No. The United States can dip
into the Chinese affair as graceful
ly without Philippine "sover;gnty"
as she could take the Philippines
without ''soverignty' over some
other niger pasture in that neigh
borhood. We have no chips in
the Chinese game unless American
interests suffer. We should stay
out of it, if possible.
15-What is your Affirmative Philippine
policy, If you have one?
Read Jul paper regularly. The
price is s1.5o per year. All Sulus
must pay in advance, and we must
have money that is "good in Yur
rup."
Now, THE UNION don't want to
appear too inquisitive, but since
the Sulu republican editors have
evinced such a love for questions
we will ask a few of our own and
wait patiently for them to answer.
Here they are:
If ''forcible annexation" was
terminal aggression in 1898,
what is it now?
2-lf the requirement Of Luzor
by force of arms is not 'sforcible
annexation what is it?
3-If we do not intend to annes
the Philippines by force, what are
we fighting for?
4-Dehne the word REBEL are
the Filipinos rebels?
5-If it was right to make plair
our policy toward the Cubans why
wouldn't the same action have beer
the right course for us in our treat
ment of the Filipinos?
6-Were not the Filipinos GU
allies in crushing the Spanish il
Luzon? AS such, were they no
entitled to some recognition an
assurance of our intentions towar'
them?
Did they get it?
S-1sn't your "copperhead" tai
all hogwash, or are you damphoc
enough to believe it when 20
write it?
9-Don't you really think that i
case of national peril the Who'll

Advertisers and Advertising

Advertisers anu AusortASias E
 A furious shower does not soak in so well as steady rain.
 Does lt2
 A half page advertisement once a year is not so good as half inch ffty-two times a year.
 Is 1t?
 The parallel is fitting.
 The first of the year is upon us. The time is ripe to make contract for a steady rain of advertising. Let the water begin to fall with the next issue of the Graphic. It will begin to soak in at once; and as the weeks lengthen into months, you have watered your entire territory, and the ground will give forth an abund- anee of fruit.
 Don't get funny at this argument and say that after while things would get too muddy.
 We're not talking about deluges.
 That's what these once-a=year fellows enjoy.
 The highest praise Artemas Ward bad for George Washington was that he never stopped over.
 Did Veu eyer1study mathematics, and learn that 1 and 1 make 2, and and 2 make 4, and 1 and 1 make 8, and 8 and make 16, and so on2
 Some of you never get above l and 1 make 2.
 You don't figure the cumulative powers of advertising.
 You believe one good old "soaker7 is worth twenty "drizzies. You don't realize that three fourths of the water ID an old soaker9 runs off and finds it's way into the gutters.
 Figure how much you are gong to appropriate for advertising in 1899 Divide It by twelve, and take so much worth fol each month. Let us make a contract with you at once.
 The water might freeze now as it falls, but it will be there when tue thaw comes in the Spring.

4 WISE COMMANDER. w
Lord Howe's Campaign Against the French
 and Indians.

Lord Howe, who, in 1758, accom- panied Gen. 5Abercrombie in the attack on Fort Tfconderoga, did not, like the foolish Braddock, insist on fighting h. dians and Frenchmen according to the military rules of European armies. While his army was encamped at Al- bany he forbade all display of gold and scarlet in the march. and ordered the barrels of the muskets to be blackened, that the soldiers might not be seen at distance by the glittering of their arms.
 He himself set an example by wear ing a soldiers coat shorn of it's tail, and Ieggings made of cloth. The hair was, in those days, worn in a bag or queue by the officers. Lord Howe's hair was abundant and fine, yet be cropped it, and ordered the officers to do the same. The amount of personal bag gage and camp equipage then carried by the officers was enormous.
 One day the officers were invited to dine with Lord Howe in his tent. When they arrived they were surprised to see no chairs or tables, but bear skins spread on the floor like rugs. Lord Howe sat down on a small log, and the officers followed his example. Presently the servants set down large dish of pork and peas.
 Lord Howe took a sheath out Of his pocket, drew from it knife and fork and began to cut and divide the pork The officers sat in silence, which he in- terrupted by asking if they were not provided with similar portable instru- ments. Then he distributed to each a case like his own.
 On the march he ordered that each soldier should be provided with pow dered ginger, and that it should be mixed with the water with which they filled their eanteens.
 The simple prescription saved the lives of many while marching through malariaI swamps, the water of which thirst compelled them to drink. The wise and gallant commander was shot while leading his men against an ad- vaneed guard of the French.

Good ThinKa.

Starting with one car, and funeral car at that. the Pullman Palace Car company in B years laid aside a sur plus of $24000,000. which was divided
 between the stockholders. How cur- ious 1t all seems. Pullman's hearse on the rail brought him great fortune, yet he dfsinberited his two sons. It has always been a superstition that hearses brought i'll luck. Another amazing success was Edison Electric,
 which went begging at 45. 4 broker bought 20 shares for $900, and sold 10 of them year later for $30,000. Bell Telephone stock started at a low price, but went to 200, and made many rich. There is no end of these good things.

There is no donbt, whatever it may have done for others, that this has been a great year for the trusts that it has been profitable beyond even the dreams of avsriee to the unlawful combines in restraint of trade born of the economic policy of the Republican party and enabled by the failure of that party to exc cute the avs on the statute book, to proceed unchecked in their career of greed.
 As summed up by the latest esti- mate, the total profits of twenty-five Of these monopohes for the past year, leaving out the incomes of some fifty-odd millionaires, many of whom are stockholders in these con cerns, amount to the snug sum of $227, ,25O, OOO This is nearly one fourth the sum of our national debt.

Shoes Must Creak fin Burmn.

The march of civilization in Burma is full of interest and amusement, even to the most casual observer. Young Burma cannot now go forth as his fa- ther did, in loose but comfortable san- dies; he must have fancy colored socks held in rigid order by fancy garters worn about the swell of the calf, while Cromwellian shoes with large steel buckles have caught on famously. A young student who purchased his first pair on Saturday wore them te church on Sunday, but took them back to the store on Monday, to be changed because they did not creakl

JEFFERSON the Original ~Expansionist."
Elsewhere this morning will be found
an editorial on Jefferson Day" from
the New York Times Qnd. Dem.), which
we commend to the careful perusal of
our readers, without regard to party.
The purpose is to show some features
concerning the policy of Thomas Jetter-
SON, the author Of the Declaration Of In
dependence. during his presidential ca
reer. The Times brings out clearly and
plainly the facts of history. which show
Jefferson to have adopted and carried
out boldly the policy of expansion-and.
in one or two instances, Tin direct viola
ton OF professed theories of constitu-
tlonal power on which Jefferson had
built up national political party" In
the case Of Louisiana, the acquisition
was erected by the most amazing
audacity.'
The article shows that, through the
policy of JEFFERSON, to carry out which
he instructed his minister to France to
threaten hostile alliance with England,
as the alternative of compliance by Ma
poleon Bonaparte with the schemes of
the United States, the entire territory Of
Louisiana was coded by France for co.
100000 francs, on the terms we have Sc
cured the Philippines. Previous to this
the entire possessions of the United
states did not extend west OF the Miss
issippI, and consisted of the thirteen
original states, the country between the
Ohio and Mississippi being practically
unsettled and peopled with savages.
The Louisiana territory coded by
France, through Jefterson's threats.
comprised the entire territory west Of
the Mississippi. an unexplored region
and Inhabited only by Wild Indians, ex-
ceptEng the possessions secured from
Mexico in 1913, forty-iive years later,
and the annexation Of Texas in 1S4S.

con, in 1903, and which was Of unknown

Two Problems Solved.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
briefly dlsposes Of discussions of two
questions that have been debated in the
columns Of that paper lately. In one In
stance he suggests that "the gentleman
who deems 1t polite to use napkin as
a chest and collar protector be provided
with a cup with a mustache protec-
tor" In the second instance. in regard
to accounting for why women get of
backward from street car, he says:
ANY one who knows anything about a
woman knows that she almost invar-
iably holds her skirt In the left hand,
and, as she is obliged always to get of
on the right side OF the car, she could
not take hold of the handle as we men
do, and step of in the direction in which
the car is moving; therefore she must
step straight or turn backward, which
is the most natural thing for her to do.
as her right hand is always loaded with
her umbrella, purse and other packages,
and this extra weight turns her in that
direction" The correspondent is a
wise ana observant man.
