Finally, we must not forget that the
elaborate administrative systems of con-
tinental Europe tend to make men depend
ent upon the government, the common law
develops self-reliance and ftS man 10
cope alone with new conditions colonist
to succeed must be allowed to make his own
way as best suits his surroundings, un-
trammeled by administrative regulations;
and it is a striking fact that German emil
grants do not flock to their own colonies,
They prefer to go to America or TO an Eng
lish colony, and thrive better there. Ine
habit of shifting for ones self is not only
a natural result of our institutions, but mas
been deeply ingrained, by the western
movement of the population, until the IDEA
of bettering his prospects by Immigration
comes naturally to every American Fhat
q tendency so firmly rooted st.dld ole our
as the country fills up; that the custom OF
pushing into any favorable opening snould
not operate beyond the present limits or
the United States, seems incredible. The
rush for the Klondilxe is enough to dispel
such an illusion. Now, II a large NUMBER
of American citizens were to pour into any
fectually maintained, and where there is no
adequate security for the enforcement or
contracts our government would certainly
be called upon to interfere, and the appeal
would not long be made in vain.
1t seems altogether probable, therefore,,
that if the war had not broken out with
Spain, the question of expansion would
have arisen in some concrete form petore
many decades had passed, and that 1t
would ultimately have been answered In
the affirmative. The war has forced the
issue, prematurely, perhaps, and rightly or
wrongly, for good or for evil. the die is
cast It behooves US, therefore, to con-
slider the causes of our past success in eX-
pansion or colonization and see how far
they are applicable to our new possessions.
Of these causes, two are pre-eminent: the
territories have been treated as infant
States subject to tutelage only until they
came of age, and they have been managed
unselfishlY.

TYPHOID In CAMP.
Fears of an Epidemic Among the
Troops Around Havana.

HAVANA, Feb. 26. . p. m.-There are thir-
ty cases of typhoid fever in the Second Di-
vision hospital in Major General Lees camp,
and there is some fear that the fever may
become epidemic. When the camp was laid
out. the plan provided for underground sew
ers, the intention being TO make the drain
age as good as exists in any American city,
with water to carry away all refuse. This
design was not carried out and the camp
has sinks, not materially different from
those in camps in the United States. Some
development of the typhoid fever had been
expected. Typhoid also exists in the Tenth
Regular Regiment. encamped in the parks
of Havana. Five cases from one company
regiment, except the relief station detail,
will be moved out of the city, though
whether because of sanitary considerations
or because the newly constituted police are
hereafter TO do guard duty does not appear.

In MEMORY OF DlNGLEY.
Congressional Temperance Society
HOnOrs It's Great Friend.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. = The annual
meeting of the Congressional Temperance
Society tonight, at the Vermont-avenue
Christian Church. was a memorial one in
honor of the late Representative Nelson
Dingley, OF Maine, who was for eighteen
years the president of the organization. Rep
resentative William w. Grout, of Vermont
vice president, presided, and made an ad-
dress. in which he spoke of the great loss
sustained by the temperance cause every
where in the death of Representative Ding
ley Rev. +. ID. Power, the secretary, read
the report of the past years work, in which
he said the temperance cause was constant
ly growing and the advocates of absolute
prohibition had every reason to be hopeful
and 70 rejoice for the great good that had
already been accomplished. Or Power also
spoke of the irreparable loss the society had
sustained in Mr.. Dingley's death. For eight
cen years he had directed its affairs. The
society was very dear to him and with all
the discourage nents attending his work he
had often said "Il is q great thing to hold
up the standard: we must keep 1T before the
people, Representative Martin n. Johnson,
Of North Dakota and Hon. Hiram Price

Hon. John l.. Grimths.



A prominent and popular Indianian has
been in the city the past few days in the
person of Hon. John l., Grifhths, one OF
the leading members of the indianapolis
bar. Mr. Grifiths is rotund and rosy and
is one of those happy looking men who ap-
pear never to have encountered adverse
fortunes He is said to be the choice of
many leading Republicans for the guber-
material nomination next year, an honor
that he came very near winning III the last
state campaign, getting the third highest
number of votes in list of thirteen candi-
dates In regard to the political situation
in Indiana Mr.. Griffiths said:
Il think that henceforth Indiana can be
placed in the column of sure Republican
States 1t used to be classed as doubtful,
and the opposition always had strong hopes
of success at the polls. The heresies of the
Democratic party, however, have been lit
tie too great for our people, and, being a
very intelligent people. they have concluded
that safety lies in the ascendancy of the
Republican party. Mr.. Bryan and his free
silver views are thoroughly discredited in
our State, and If the battle of the standards
is to be fought over in 1900 Indiana will roll
up a Republican majority that will be a
record breaker

list Documents.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Copenhagen cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: Well
informed persons here assure me that the
health of Emperor Nicholas is far from
good and that his condition excites the
gravest solicitude a long-threatening all
ment assumed a critical form soon after the
issuance of the manifesto in behalf of the
limitation of ornaments and the CZar is
now prostrated.
The malady is of such a character as
to forbid all intellectual exertion. His
participation in the government is merely
formal, confined to signing documents, of
whose contents he is ignorant. The Grand
Duke Michael possesses the executive
power and all government decisions are ar
rived at without the Cars cooperation or
knowledge"
The Daily Chronicles correspondent at
Stockholm says it is rumored there that
Emperor Nicholas is i'll and that the i'm
perial Grand Duke Michael is presiding
over the government.

MADRID. Feb. 26.-The newspapers are
urging the government to maintain its pre-

upon the frontier where attempts are beng
made TO smuggle arms and ammunition into

The committee of the Senate for the veri-
fication of credentials has examined Admiral
Cervera, who had contended that he was
entitled to sit in the Senate, inasmuch az
criminal proceedings had not been taken
against him. The admiral declared that If
the loss of his squadron were a crime, it
must be attributed to the government,
which sent him to the Antilles against his
will. He told the committee that he wept
on receiving congratulations on his safe ar
rival at Santiago de Cuoa, for he had fore

thorities here that he has the situation well

he would have trouble in keeping order at

LONDON, Feb. 27-The Times, in an ed
it0rial discussion this morning of the Phil

consider the Radziwill interview in the Paris

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The conferees
on the census bill have agreed and will
make their report early in the week. Ger
tain features Of both the Senate and House
bills will be retained. The census will be
nominally under the direction of the secre-
tary of the interior, but all appointments
in the Census Bureau will be made by the
director of the census. The director, assist
ant director and 300 supervisors are to be

ary of $4,000 and the assistant director $4,000
The only important point of difference was
in regard to whether the census should be
made a bureau Of a department or separate,
the House bill providing for an independent
bureau.
