st. Louis Republic.
With this supreme confidence in the
power of the slush fund organization to
overcome Hanna should be Indifferent as
to what he considers minor forces in the
approaching battle. 1t is eminently nat
ural that he should announce his entire
unconcern as TO whether the people called
the administration policy expansion or
imperialism" If the Hanna slush fund
works all right the people will have lit
tie TO say in preventing the application of
that policy. And Hanna agrees with Mr..
Mckinley that this Reputation of Amer
lean principle is manifest destiny''-it is
Gods will that the republic should be
transformed into an empire
The burly and bullwhacking Republican
boss has a severe but salutary lesson
awaiting him. In November he is very
likely to learn that the American people
do not believe that it is the destiny OF
this great republic to find its end in the
shame and sin of empire. He will learn.
also, that they do not propose TO take any
further chances in this direction The
time to dispel the empire dream has ar
rived The way to dispel it is to awaken
the empire dreamers. This will be rlldely
done on November 6, and Mr.. Hanna will
then learn that the voice of the people
is still the supreme law in this great
and free country.

over is undoubtedly very far from
the truth. The Beers are falling back
to the north, it is true. before Lord
Roberts Overwhelming advance, but
in northern Natal, about Thaba N'Chu
and at Mafekng, they still hold their
ground. Roberts is still long way
from Pretoria, and the end of the war
is not in sight to a disinterested OBJ
servpr. Along the central line fol-
lowed by the railroad from Bloemfon-
tein to Johannesburg, there will prob
ably be no serious fighting until the
English advance reaches the Vaal
river, but at other points east and
west lively encounters are to be ex-
pected.. In the past the Burghers have
given ample evidence that they know
the business of war to the smallest de-
tail, and as yet there is no good rea-
son for the belief that their courage
has failed. Many of them are still on
English soil in Natal and it will take
time, gunpowder and lives before they
are routed out.

NO NEW THING,

Senator Hoar is still against the i'm
perial tendencies of the administration.
In the Senate Saturday replying to a
statement by Senator Stewart as to the
perennial Republican claim that the
present administration has made this
country frst-class power, the vener-
able member from Massachusetts said:
IT wish to enter my protest as emphat-
ically as | can that the United States has
got to be a first-class power, a world
power. l am sick of hearing Senators
say that, since this wretched imperialistic
business. we have become a first-class
power. The United States came out of
the war of 1872 frst-class power and she
has been a first-class power ever since
a power that has kept off the whole of
Europe from North America and the
West Indian islands except as it was
there before. The United States is not
as strong as 1t was a year ago, because
it has bound itself over since that time
to keep the peace in distant possessions.
The little country that did that thing (the
remarkable achievements of the war of
1870 came out of the war a first-class
power. There has not been a country
since that time-great or small-that has
Ventured to tackle us, and there is not a
country on earth-great or small-that
would not have gotten out of any trouble
with us by diplomacy rather than by
war"
This subtracts from the self-glory Of
Mckinley and Hanna, but Mr.. Hoar is
right. We were stronger before the
Spanish war than now, because at the
present time we have too many irons
in the fire.

SEND RICE TO INDIA.

Col. Thomas 7. Edge, former State
Secretary of Agriculture of Pennsyl-
vania, has just returned from a trip
around the world, and while in India
spent much time in the famine districts
of that country. 1t is his belief that all
the ,succor which the civilized nations
of the earth can give will not begin to
alleviate the misery of the many mil
lions now suffering and dying. Mr..
Edge concurs in the suggestion made
in the Register some time ago as to the
questionable propriety of sending corn
from this country to the starving. He
says: Il fear they will not know how
to use it, or, using it raw or improper
ly, it may bring on disease and suffer-
ing. In the latter case the assistance
will do great harm" American relief
for India should take the form of rice.
The people in the famine district live
almost wholly upon it, and they will
welcome it. Hard grain they know
little about.

GET OUT THE OIL CAN.

Prof. A. Cell is after the female
MOSQUITO in the Philadelphia Medical
Journal, and urges the immediate ap-
plication of a dose of petroleum to all
stagnant water, wherein the insect is
liable to breed. He points out that
for every mosquito killed in this way
there will be two hundred million less
if eggs are laid four times, and twenty
thousand million less if eggs are laid
five times, and SO on in proportion.
He says little oil thrown upon stag
nant water effectually shuts off the
young mosquitoes wind when it comes
up to take a flight into some bed
room window, and that concerted
effort would result in very notice
able reduction in the number of the
nocturnal pest. Let the oil can be
called into requisition by all means,
but until the last mosquito is eXter-
minated mankind will have no peace.
One of these always hungry insects
is about as bad as a million when
one is trying to get to sleep. What
we want is statute abolishing the
mosquito from the face of the earth.

The RensSeSsInenf.

Charleston Gazette.
The re-assesment provided for by the
last Legislature, was intended to correct
certain inequalities that had arisen under
the previous assessment by reason of the
development of natural resources. Two
of the counties where these inequalities
exist in a large degree are Mercer and
Tyler. In Mercer there has been very
large increase in the valuation of land by
reason of the coal development, while in
Tyler county the oil development had adj
vanced the price of real estate to prices
which would have been considered fabu-
lous at the time the previous assessment
was made. These counties opposed the
re-assesment bill for the reason that their
representatives anticipated an increase
in the valuation. Failing to defeat the
measure, they have sought to avoid COM
plying with the law, and no new assess
ment has been made in those counties.
They have simply copied the old assess
ment The board of public works should
take steps to have the assessment made
as in other counties.

THE PRIMARIES CoNTRAsTED.

The Inteligencer affects to find COM
fort in the number of votes cast at
the Democratic primaries Saturday,
and announces that its party is in a
great majority in Ohio county. AS
the Republicans this year polled sew
eral hundred fewer votes than four
years ago, and the Democracy many
more than in 1896, the Intelligencer's
effort to appear satisfied is just a trifie
strained. The Republican vote this
year, although much smaller than four
years ago, cost a good many thousand
dollars. The sums spent by the can
didates for Sheriff, Prosecuting Attor-
ney and Assessors on the Republican
side, if aggregated, would make quite
little fortune. Many Republican can
didates for place on the ticket spent
rom twenty-five to fifty dollars a day,
ana kept it up for weeks. The result
was that the last possible vote was
RoIied' and there was falling off.
At and before the Democratic primar-
.es cash was not in evidence, for there
we're no contests except here and there
,or district Offices. The result was
IN increased vote over four years ago
T the lntelligencer can extract any
comfort from this state of facts, it is
welcome to it.

VALUABLE CANAL DATA.

AS it appears to be the settled policy
of this country to build an isthmian
canal sooner or later, the facts as to
the business of the Suez canal during
the past year, as contrasted with 1898,
are worthy OF attention and study. 1t
is well known that before the canal
was built most people believed it was
not only "a visionary scheme, but that
it would never pay. Quarts of figures
were arrayed to prove this proposition,
and reams of paper covered with cal
lations showing that there could never
be an adequate return upon the capital
invested. But the canal was built, and
it paid. and it is paying better every
year. In 1898 the tonnage passing
through the canal was 9,S43,000 and
the receipts $16,260,142. In 1899 the
tonnage was 9,S93,O22 the number of
ships 1880, and the cash receipts ST.
51O142. an increase of a million and
a quarter in money. The prediction
is made that in three years the annual
receipts will be twenty millions and
the number of ships four thousand. AS
an investment it is one of the most
valuable ever made, and English
statesmen had long heads when they
obtained control.

A NEW CHAMPION OF WEALTH.

n w or ."
"A new apostle of the Rich has come
out of the East. lie is Thomas Went
worth Higginson, of Boston, and he is
a champion of the "aristocracy of the
dollar" as against the aristocracy OF
character, and intelligence and birth
and manhood. His dollar" stands for
millions-not for a single coin. He
measures worth by wealth, and goes so
Ear as to say the possessor of a million
is in reality poor. In an address before
the Savings Bank Association of the
State of New York, few days ago, he
said:
What is the possession of 81, 100000 now,
let us say, within the precincts of Ais
chamber Of commerce? Respectable pow
erty."
And again:
"Aristocracy of birth and aristocracy of
wealth have up to this time divided the
world between them. The aristocracy OF
birth has steadily lost prestige for many
years. The change Is a distinct gain"
Mr.. Higginson is in error. The aris-
tocracy of mere wealth is not "a dis
tinct gain On the contrary it is a dis
tiact loss. The aristccracy of brains
anG breeding and birth have made the
world what it is. The poor man is as
a rule the inventor the tt'ler, the farm
err. the musician. the artist, the writer
and the thinker. He is the missionary,
the preacher. the pioneer. the student
and the philosopher. Mere wealth is
not a title to nobility. 1t takes some
thing more than that.

A "BoARD OF STRATEGY"

The young women OF Flushing, Long
Island. have organized, and although
it is not leap year, they have deter
mined to get married or know the rea-
son why they cannot. A number of
eligible females have organized them
selves into an association which they
call a Board of Strategy and the
object is to bring the young men TO
time. They claim that the young men
of Flushing have been paying too
much attention to girls in other towns,
and this is to be stopped at any cost
or efforts They claim that the young
ladies of Flushing are just as pre::y.
cultured, refined and loving as the
women of any other place. that they
know their rights and are going to
maintain them, even if they have to
do the counting and proposing. The
organization formed is a secret one,
but it is announced that 1t is the pur-
pose of every girl to assist every other
girl in her ambition to marry, and that
there is to be unselfish and systematic
effort to that end Perhaps this will
work and perhaps it won't. About the
first time two or three of these young
women take a notion they want to
marry the same man there will be a
row in the Strategy Board" which
will shake Long Island to its center.
