Sowing.

Sow thou thy seed OF corn and wait awhile;
See the snow falling and the ice spray gleam
Above its hiding place; hear the wind scream
And the wild tempest sweep o'er mile and mile
OF sullen landscape; watch the raincloud's vial
Empty above it and the ftful beam
OF sunlight thwart the field until seam
OF tender green shoot up to greet thy smile,
And, 10, Gods miracle is wrought once more
OF life from death; from loss. most wondrous
gain;
The cornfeld glitters with its golden store
On the same land where late the storm and rain
Beat on the bare, brown earth. Thy sowing DER,
Thine but to wait and pray lest faith should
wanei
sow thou thy seed OF I'VE, o heart, and wait!
Though it lie hidden, though thy doubts and
fears
Whisper to thee it's lost and thy sad tears
Fall on the ice bound soil Of bitter fate,
Surely the seed will live; spring sets the gate
OF life wide open. See though hid for years.
Love seeks the light OF love; its tender spears
Shall gladden. thy sad eyes at last, though late,
Fen but the blade perchance and not the bloom.
Ofttimes God seeth that loves flower rare
Hath no perfection this side OF the tomb,
But needeth for its growth the purer air
OF his sweet paradise. After earth's gloom
Love hath its blossoming-not here, but therei

OF these hostile and belligerent pro-

TERRITORIAL
) EXPANSION
!. Ably Considered by Mr.. Fred
~ Howes.
Worthy of a Careful Reading.

y The question of territorial expan
sion is one Of vast Importance because
it involves ~ the establishment of an
important Government policy which
may de,ei mine the future course OF
this Government sflecting all cases OF
territ,r acquisition; (2) the ques
ion whe h n Republic. like ours,
g.. yconsislenily- any caese ex-
>cept mutual ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by
virtue of treaty of peace entered in
t. between two host lie nations, a tribe
OF foreign subj 'cts residing in dis
tsnt land and against their will and
consent; (3) whether it is in accord
with the principles of republican gov
pernment 10 subj &c, it, people to GER
= tain conditions, which must manifest
ly grow out OF such course.
First, with regard to policy Of
territorial acquisition. The one ques.
ton upon which all other question:
in t.is problem depend, the one which
Is paramount and of most vital inter.
TO the we!!-bciBg OF the Republic,
is whether or not it is right for a re-
public to add by force-as an out
growth of treaty OF peace-to her
population, and take under her sover-
eighty, race OF people who profess
themselves capable of self govern
ment. There is no law on the statute
books which settles this mater. Com
Squently it naturally reverts 10 thai
OF prece ent. Ii precedent fsvors it i,
II should be followed. If there be no
precedent, then, in the light of expert
ence and reason. we must make one f,
which is to be guide for the govern
ment in future generations.
Tne first purchase OF annexation of
territory made by The government
was made by Thomss Jtfierson in
1903. known as the Louisiana Pur-
chase, and the record of this purchase
Is a common fact Of school history.
The territory was purchased from
Franc. under well known conditions

tampted 10 deny; and history ha>

public. BIT this obvi' usly il not .

the .pirit Of cur government rhat "
securely indemnify ourselves, why
would it not have been sufficient to
accept Porto Rico alone, whose inhab.
ttsnts were pescesble and even eager
for the exchange, which thing would
have prevented repetition of Span
lsh atrocities in the Western Hemis-
phere, admittedly The chief o' ct Of
our concern when we entered the COZ =
fict.
Is it one OF the missions of this
mighty aggregstions of common
wealths to tesch the American idea
Of liberty to other ibes 10y means OF

that it is imprac,ible? believe the
American idea of liberty and govern
ment are the best ever propagsted in
the annals of history. But no one
will DENY that it cannot be admins
terrell successfully among all races Of
people for their thought, habit. and
nature may prevent II. In other
words the mode OF < vernment does
not tt their nature; but indeed the
present plan seems to be to make heir
nature suit the government.
Now it may be worth the while TO
remark thI t other people than Ameri-
cans have ideas OF liberty and govern
ment and that they may or may not
think our idea of government conduc-
i've to their general happiness and
welfare; aud indeed it may not be,
for if they deliberately decide that it
is not, then undoubtedly, it is not. II
we persist in enforcing our idea OF
government, are VIC not f igrsntiy in.
consistent on account OF the fact that
the fundamental principle of our gov
eminent is that governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of
the governed ?"
OF course ole of our own Terrific
ries may rise up snd proclaim the
same doctrine, but they are parties to
n solemn compact, which makes the
members of this Federation zone aud
inseperable," whereas, the Philippines
are about to be forced by power of
arm into An agreement sgain-t their

But some Of the adv, Gates Of C@s-
artistic expansion say, appealing to
greed and svsrioe, it will not do 70
surrender the Philippines, because
they will make for us a good slrsget-
ic point in case of war, or advance
our commercial interests and increase
our revenue. Suppose the iorcible
annexation OF the Philippines would
make us the most formidable nation
in war and indispensable in wealth (;
would that make right wrong
course? Ii is moi question as 10
whether this Government has ever
expanded territolislIy; but the ques.
ton is, what has been our method of
expanding. Have we ever fOrcibly
annexed any territory against the
will and consent Of people residing
in it? History saws we have not.
Then we are face to fsce with this
problem: Should our government

sons.
The next, aud most conspicuous
and salient, is the purchase or annex
alton OF Texas, California, New Mex
leo, &c. The purchases to which we
refer were made in 1850 from the Re-
public OF Mexico, aud were the out
growth of treaty of pesce. But il
doris not settle the most important
question lie the problem al issue, name
~, whether or not the Republic has
the right 10 buy foreign race of peo-
pie against their wi and consent, and
who profess themselves capable OF
self government; and therefore, the
President was free from the charge
that he was dealing in slavery, and
IT empting to stop The progress of lib
erty and self government. 1t was al
so contiguous territory. But it prob
ably more nearly approximates a pre-
cedent, and in proportion as it more
nearly approximates a precedent, in
such proportion has its righteousness
failed TO be indicated by history, ex-
perience and resson.
Tue next of snv moment was the
purchase of Als.ka from Russia in
1867. 1t is not contiguous territory,
but is msnifestly not good preced-
enl, as it Is open to the other forcgo-
ing reasons. The above citations es-
tablish the precedent that the Govern
meDt may purchase or annex contig-
uous territory as an outgrowth of
treaty, or purchase non. contiguous
territory in time of peace; but they DO
not establish the precedent that the
Government may OF right buy or an
mex people against their will and con-
sent, and who, at the same time, pro-
Tess Themselves capable OF self-govern-
meni, which is by far the grsvest, tie
most potent and most important quss-
ton in the problem, as it affects the
destiny of All entire race Oi people.
There is consequently no precedent
in the history OF the government,
which can, with consistency and fair
nes9, settle the pending question salts.

honest American citizens to settle the
question: in the light of experience

Spencer to the southern division of the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern,
about IL miles. This point was not
made public because the right of way
has not been secured, but it is surmis-
ed that Norwalk is the objective point.
From Norwalk or thereabouts the
road will run on the southern division
of the Lake Shore, So miles, to Toledo,
and from Toledo to Chicago on the
main line of the Lake Shore, 244 miles,
making total of 455 miles.
The length of the Pittsburg & Ft.
Wayne the Pennsylvania connection
from Pittsburg to Chicago,is 1853 miles.
1t has been owing to the acquisition
of the Lake Erie 6 Western by the
yanderbilts that the new proposed
trunk line has been made feasible as
it will require but the construction of
AZ miles of new road.
The saving in freights will be enor-
nous, as the run from Youngstown to
Ashtabula forms right angle triangle
and interferes with heavy traffic from
the lakes, also traffic to this city and

on the new line will be commenced as
