the sum OF $4,000 per year, for an
Agricultural Department for the West
Indies. Its objects are:
1. To supervise and extend the work
of the present botanic stations.
2. To start industrial schools for
training boys in agricultural pursuits.
3. To encourage the theoretical land
to some slight extent the practical)
teaching of agriculture in elementary
schools.
4. To promote the teaching of scien-
tific agriculture in colleges and schools.
5. To organize horticultural shows
and exhibitions of implements and ma
chinery suitable for cultivating and
curing tropical products.
6. To prepare bulletins, leaflets, and
other literature on subjects suita ole for
cultivation in the West Indies.
Congress will undoubtedly vote the
money for an Experimental Station
here. In the course of time it will do
great good.
In the meantime, however, there is
no strong public sentiment in favor Of
developing the smaller industries
mere IS no desire to distribute the
commercial eggs in different baskets
or to divert some part of the enor-
nous sugar dividends to industrial
hedging" The men who have &C
quired large wealth, and should be
leaders in the broadening of our in
dustries, are, as a rule, the men who
bow the lowest and most levouSly
before the sugar god. With enormous
resources for making on these Islands
a model tropical industrial Exposition,
with profit to many, we choose to i'm
port food and fruit from the Pacific
Coast. We are educating all Of the
children in schools and filing them
with wants" which cannot be sup
piled.
Demerara and other British colonies
did half a century ago, what is being
done here. And now there is only a
wall of suffering from those who had
no foresight.

Red Gross.

AT meeting of the Red Cross So
ciety Saturday morning. Mrs. Jordan
the treasurer, reported that there was
800 on hand. Now that a lull has
taken place in the transporting OF
troops to Manila, the expenses of the
society have decreased considerably.
The society's rooms are still being
maintained. The work is being kept
up, in a quiet way, among the sick
soldiers.
It was deemed best TO call in all
the Red Cross boxes for the time be-

Mrs. Sewall, the president, will leave

THE LAW-AND A HIGHER LAW.

The permit immigrants put faith in
the word OF this Republic, left their
families and business here, and visited
their ancestral homes in China. They
believed that the permission TO go and
return was contract which would not
be broken. It was a contract as bind
ing, until annexation took place, as the
contract to pay the public debt.
This Republic made contract of an
nexatiOn with the United States. Ow-
ing to haste in the transaction, and a
lack Of important knowledge, the act
OF annexation was completed, without
providing for or protecting, the legal
rights OF these permit immigrants.
Both the officers of the Federal gov
ernment and of the territorial govern
ment are under obligation to execute
the Federal law of annexation, however
harsh or cruel or unjust it may be.
The permit immigrants are deprived
Of their liberty, and their homes. by
reason of the execution of this law.
But the territorial government still
remains responsible to these permit
Immigrants for the loss and damage
arising out of it's failure to keep its
contract with them. This is the higher
law, and there is no escape from it.
The territory cannot, it is presumed,
be held responsible in the courts, be-
cause Independent States and sover
eighties are lawless, so far as an in
dividual is concerned. Only in the
court of conscience is there any rem
edy. Courts of conscience are usually
weak affairs.
1t is probable, however, that the Fed
eral government will find some way
to relieve these persons from unjust
pressure of the annexation law. 1t has
happened more than once, when law,
through inadvertance, does injustice,
that the executive and judicial powers
discover a way of suspending it's oper-
alton. But such an extreme measure
must be taken by the Federal and not
by lne State or territorial authorities.
During the civil war, the penalty for
deSertion from the army was death.
Many thousands deserted. Few were
shot, because it was not popular to
shoot them. There was always a way
through which they could
escape from the penalty.

THREE PORTRAITS.

There are now on exhibition in the
Company, several portraits by Cogs-
well, which, it is believed, will be pur-
chased by subscription, and then be
placed permanently in the Executive
building.
The principal one is that of the late
President Lincoln, and it is rare pic
ture, because it is reproduction of the
portrait of Lincoln which is now in
the White House, in Washington. That
portrait was painted by Cogswell by
order of Congress. and for it he re-
ceived the sum of $4,000 The portrait
NOW on exhibition here is a three
quarter length, instead of a full length,
but in all other respects it is an exact
duplicate of the White House picture.
One of it's chief values is, that it rep
resents Lincoln as he appeared before
the annoyances and worriments Of Of
fee had turned him into a gaunt and
caEeworn man. The White House pic
ture will, it is said, be regarded al
ways, as the standard portrait of Lin
coin, and as it has been seen,
and will hereafter be seen by multi
fudes of people who visit Washington,
it will become of greater value each
year. 1t will be singular good for
tune, if this little territory should be
in advance of other territories as well
as States, by having in its Executive
20
House portrait. II
In this advanced outpost of the Unit
ed States, where SO many races are
east together it would be most fitting
to have in a public place, portraits of
the men who have done great service
to the country because We are now ed
ucating many children of Asiatic blood
TO share in our political life. To these,
and the many travellers from the ORR
entail countries, portraits of eminent
Americans will be attractive and edu-
cational.
The other portraits on exhibition are
those of Gen. Grant and President Nc
Kinley by the same artist. That of
Gen. Grant is a reproduction Of the one
painted by Cogswell for the late Sen
ator Washburn. The likeness is faith
full and strong. Gen. Grant sat for it.
and it is one of the few original por-
traits of that great captain.
The portrait Of President Mckinley
is an excellent one. The friends of this
statesman, who is now making Ameri-
can history, should feel that his por-
trait is as necessary as that Of Lincoln
and Grant in this outpost.
Tt is the intention of those who have
the matter of subscriptions in charge,
to place these three portraits in the
Executive building.

In the death of Congressman Ding
ley, the House of Representatives at
Washington loses a man of strength
and discernment and effectiveness. His
state must mourn that she has been
deprived of a capable publicist of in

one the small group of men of the
ability to cope with really great ques-
tiOnS.
Once in awhile there is bit of ia

PURE
WATER,

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-

reasons, principally, because it is con-

analysis shows this to be fact.
