Senator HOar's wit.

AS a specimen of Senator Hoar's wit,
take his comparison of Senator Platt's
new version of the declaration of in
dependence, which makes 1t read that
governments derive their Just powers
"frOm the consent of some of the govern
ed" to the amendment of the golden
rule proposed by one of the most vii.
famous characters in one of Dickens's
novels, making that divine precept read :
"Do others, or they will do you"
Again. take az g specimen this fine re-
tort upon the same Connecticut senator,
who could think of no motive other than
fear which could actuate the senior
senator from Massachusetts In his
attitude on this question: "As to fear,
will return the kindness of my honorable
friend by suggesting to him that there
Is fear, which hope some time may
possess him, which is defined by the
highest authority as the beginning of
wisdom" Or this, for a fir al specimen.
selected from among many that have the
like merit of brillancy and perfect

unlike the real constitution as a wooden
nutmeg Is unlike real one"

THE FARMERS AoA,nsT ANNEXATION.

The following paragraph from the
Boston Transcript is suggestive of the
natural feeling of farmers over the
country on the question of the annexs.
ton of the Philippines. Unquestionably
there are no citizens of the republic more
true to Its principles than those who live
upon its farms. The man who works
has natural love for freedom. He has.
too, keen appreciation of those ma
tional conditions that conduce to economy
and thrift. He cannot indeed afford to pay
extravagant taxes. He does not wish to
see the boys conscripted from the farm
to assist England in her contest against
Russia in China, or for any other un-
necessary purpose. Nor does he wish to
see the conditions of trade made still
more disadvantageous for farming in
terests.
1t is the commercial interests of our
large cities that favor the idea of extern
sion, under a vain delusiOn that trade
should follow the flag. We say vain,
that the whole trade of the Philippine
islands amounts to but mere fraction
of what the cost would be to us to GOV
ern them; not to speak of first subjugat-
Ing them, which 1t is perfectly evident
we shall have to do If we annex them.
The paragraph referred to is in the
form of a special despatch from Wash
ington, dated the 18th inst. 1t reads
thus:
An expression of the agricultural senti
ment of the country against Imperialism was
today formulated by Mr.. Herbert Myrick,
editor of the American Agrcuturist and
several allied farmers journals at Chicago,
New York and Springfield, Mass, ana was
telegraphed from New York to this city, as
follows:
senator Hoar-Your momentous utterance
expresses with undying truth the eternal
principles of setgovernment. These prin-
ciples are yet stcrcdly cherished by the
great majority of American farmers, IRE

An easier tendency has been developed IN

get 2O1a to 2l cents for sma | lots of Vermont
and New Hampshire showing new milk

extreme price for a wholesale lot, and called
the top rate for the best fresh Northern
creamery in assorted size tubs 20 to 20Is cents.
Very few receivers of Western could report
be fine to bring that. After passing the best
quality buyers had the market all their own

can be given for a large portion of the fresh
butter that has accumulated.
There is no change to note in the cheese
situation. Holders are firm and sales OF

One would think it far cry from
musical circles and the piano trade to
the rum traffic, but here we have a
COPY of the New York Musical Courier
discoursing on the effect of Vermont's
prohibitory law in lettering German
piano company from establishing Its
factory at Brattleboro. The not I'M
usual argument is made that the
German element would not live sin a
town where personal habit. inculcated
from youth as an innocent one, is viewed
as heinous and even criminal by the
bulk of the population" The Courier
goes on to say that Brattleboro's de-
velopment thereupon became stunted,
mot" it adds, "because of prohibition, as
that is too much of blessing to act as a
deterrent on growth, but because the
associated foreign elements that crept
into the Estey group were not in
sympathy with the tendency Of the
Vermont people," If someone will only
take the trouble TO hunt up the moral In
the Courier's remarks, we will be pleased.

To the sufferer from the prevailing
malady it may be of little interest to
learn that away back in the dark ages
people were afflicted with the grip. 1t
has seemed to be fin de steele ailment,
but it has been recognized as the lagrippe
of the middle ages and has received its
proper designation. There are evidences
in history that it prevailed on the con
tinent of Europe so long as the twelfth
century. We are told that in 1910 it was
classed as contagious disease, perhaps
by old Paracelsus himself. Nearly two
hundred years ago English medical
writers were referring to it as ''catarrhus
contagio" in their learned Latin treatises,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1890.

Professor Harris, superintendent of the
bureau of education at Washington, has
just completed, at the request of the
president, a public school system for
Cuba. 1t contemplates instruction in
both English and Spanish. While the
church on the island was, under Spanish
rule, supported by the public revenues,
there was no education for the masses at
public expense. Consequently the school
system about to be established will be a
wholly new departure and will go far
toward convincing both the resident
Spaniards and the native Cubans of the
superiority of the American system of
government as opposed to the old regime.

THE COST OF EMPIRE

The following from the New York
World is an exhibit of the beginnings
of the cost of Imperialism. They are
simply the beginnings, for the policy
must almost inevitably lead to complca-
lions in the European scramble for
power In Asia. 1t is of course in the
hope of our assistance in her rivalry with
Russia, that England has favored our
occupancy of the Philippines:
Mr.. Caffery first compared our normal
budget with the first "imperial" budget:
Expenditures for fiscal year 1897, 1856 900 900
Secretary Cages estimate for the
next fiscal year. GAL .OOOOOO

After thus showing that at the very outset
the burdens of Federal taxation would be
nearly doubled on the showing of our i'm.
perlalst secretary of the treasury, Mr.. CAT.
fiery. went on to itemize the annual cost of
the Philippines alone:

ing to department estimates, 1880, 900

Civilizing the FilipinOs ESTIMATED
on Il basis of one third what we
spend in that way upon the In
dians, 100000, 900
Total actual cost 1921 800, 900
Subtracting the highest possible figure for
revenues to be got from the Philippines from
the lowest figure for revenue we lose by tax
ing them inside our tariff wall, Senator Clf
fiery showed that we would have net annual
loss of revenue of St7,0OO,O00
