The Woodstock Standard and some
other papers Of the state are attempting to
s low Mr.Dillingham's position as unfriend

ent on the oleomargarine law. As draft-
ed the bill that IS now the oleo law and
looked alter ii Ia the interest Of the Yer

Mr.. Parker OF Cambridge, who framed
the oieo bill which be presented To the
previous legislature that of iSS4-makes a
bitter attack upon Mr. Dillingham; for or
posing his bill, the leading feature OF
which was a 15c. tax, which was considered
prohibitive to its manufacture, and hence
held IN other states to be "unconstituti onal.
Mr.. Parker claims the present law TO be
imperative. A leading feature is that ii
prescribes a pink color, and whereas Ar
mour was about to erect a large plant at
st. Adams for its manufacture, we notice
he didn't come.
Mr.. Dillingham; was the ardent friend OF
this bill and has ever since shown con-

 LET view, the best thing
 THINGS this country can do for
 DRIFT. Cuba IS to let it alone
 for the present; let the people get it in order after the ravages of war and become accustomed to the new order of things; let the constitu- tional convention finish its work and submit it to the people, and give the latter time to think for themselves what relations with the United States they would prefer to have. All this will take at least a year or two, and meanwhile the American congress win have quite enough to think about with out disturbing Cuba. Let things drift says Secretary Root, and since he thinks more good than harm will come of that easy treatment, probab- ly that would be the best policy for all concerned-except, of course, the American spectators; whose interests are not paramount.

THE BALLAD OF THE BROKE.

(By the Broken One) When a man goes broke away from
 home, Five thousand miles or more, He's like ship on the shifting sands" That edge an unknown shore. Whichever he has been don't count
 much. And the might have been" still less; The. only flag that The Broke can hoist Is the signal of distress. He may be a fool. he may have been
 sick Money was made to go;" He may have been fast" or otherwise Perhaps ''he was built too slow One bet you may make on a certain
 win; He had never a miser's hand Whatever he had in his palmy days Was pals at the first demand. You may ilhink he is useless lumber, You fellows who watch him pass; One twist of the wheel of fortune And the best of us come to grass. Look square in his eye if you want the
 truth, And hear what he has to say; You must play with a man in the game
 of life Before you can judge his play. You may find an old grip in a lumber room, Musty. and rusty, and shorn Of all what made for it's beauty, Ere yet on the road twas worn. Just open it up and the scent of flow
 CTS That are w.thered. but perfumed still. Will teach you the use of the rusty bag Is to hold what the new ones spill. Will you play With The Broke in the
 game Of life? Will you open the rusty grip? Will you venture out on the shifting
 sand With a line for the stranded ship? They built good ships when the ship
 was built, There's perfume still in the withered
 flowers; Say, fellow-man, will you help The
 Broke, Or leave him still to the sad. long
 hours?

Taking it as settled, then, that con- gress is to authorize the construction
 of a Nicaraguan canal
 THE at the coming session,
 ISTHMIAN let us see what ought to
 CANAL. be provided for in con-
 nection with such legis- laItion. In the first place. it may be pointed out that the outlook for prac- tical action has been greatly improved by the disappearance from the field of the private concession holders. who made such strenuous enieavors in for mer years to have the government pull their chestnuts out of the fire. Both the Maritime Canal company's conces- sion and that granted to the Eyre Cra- gin are as dead as the traditional door nail. There is no longer d question cf buying up franchises of doubtful va lidity or paying for abandoned surveys. The government can, therefore, pro- ceed, and Indeed, there is reason to be- lieve has already undertaken, to nego- tiate With Nicaragua concerning the terms on which the United States can construct the canal as a government work Even the long standing dispute as to the boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica has been adjusted. So that it is no longer an obstacle in the way of obtaining full control of the ca nal route. It is also reported that Mic aragua is disposed to grant to the United States the full concessions which are desired on terms that will not be deemed exhorbitant.
 The only remaining obstacle, there fore, to the undertaking of the enter prise by the government is the exist ing Clayton Bulwer treaty with Eng land, under which the two nations agreed, nearly half a cen-ury ago, that neither would undertake q ship canal across Nicaragua without admitting the other tc an equal partnership in the enterprise. Unquestiolaoly this treaty should be formally abrOgated before the United States proceeds with this work. Men of honor and honesty do not deliberately ignore the terms of a verbal contract, to say nothing of written one, and those who do are amenable to law. Surely ths nation l should pursue no less honorable and honest a course, and should commit no breach of international law or custom. As cur readers will, recall, England has, in fact, consented to the abroga- tlon of the Clayton-Bulwer compac; and the formation of a new agreement in its place, which was druwn up by Secretary Hay and Lord raIncefote year ago.

With eggs at thirty-ive cents Der dozen and butter at forty cents per
 pound, it may be stated CUT-CUT- with much truth that
 CUT the farmer is living on CA-DA-CUT. the fat of the land. It
 is believed that the hers have formed a trust to control the egg production. We don't know eggsactly how long this trust will continue, but judging the hens by the rules that gov ern the sex generally, we predict an early collapse. They are so fickie and capricious that you never know how long they will be of one mind. Take woman, for instance. She will spend a day making a man SO mad he wants to murder somebody, and then, in the twinkling of an eye, break into ravish- ing smiles, tickle him under the chin, and he is sick With puppy love. We never tried tickling a hen, but have been told by those who ought to know that chasing was productive of good results. especially if the chasing is done properly. Hens, like s-ne pso- pie. never know where they laid any
