to the liberties Of the people, what will
be the effect If we have navy built ac-
cording to the present program? Why,
one Of the existing battleshlps Of the
navy, in the present condition Of the
coast defenses, could lay in ruins any
one of the great cities OF the seacoast,
or place 1t under tribute. Suppose that
Admiral Dewey should become desper-
ately affronted at the democratic re-
fusal to accept him as a standard
bearer in the coming campaign? As
admiral Of the navy, what is to Dre-
vent him from ordering out the fleet,
selling the seacoast towns, and pro-
claiming himself dictator? Why should
millions be spent for the building OF
more warships, which in the hands Of
and unscrupulous men could
readily upset the government, capture

Is it not possible that behind all the

These are grave considerations. The
arguments are almost identical with
those which are urged against the in
crease of the army, whenever that sub
ject come up. 1t is singular that with
these familiar weapons ready to their
hand, the democratic orators in con-
gress are neglecting the opportunity
for their use presented by the debates
on the naval appropriation bill. But
perhaps we are premature in our crit
icism. The debate is young yet, and
they may be holding these weighty ar
guments in reserve, ready to spring
them with telling effect later in the
day.

particularly stony soil for any such In

energy and industry for centuries by
Spanish rule, these islands have al
ready bought from other countries
PRODUCTS worth over slOe.OOO,O00 in
year. and have exported to other coun-
tries products still more valuable.
Every month men have been counting
it great thing for this country that
its exports have been rising above
$lO0, 900 and exceeding purchases
from other countries by S4O,OO0,OOO or
&O,VUOoOO. Part of this change al
really realized is because exports from
this country to the islands are larger
by some millions than they ever were

January exports OF domestic merchan-
disc alone to the islands were s25,45O.-

same months Of the previous year, and
yet the exports in that previous year
were more than s31, 900, 900 in value and
from this country greater than in any
other year on record. though as yet not
a third Of the value which the islands
have purchased from all other coun-
tries. What does this increase Of over

10000 a year-mean for the people OF
this country? A greater demand for
their products. a greater and perma-
nent demand for their labor, an in
crease sufficient to support forty thou

Der with higher skill and better wages.
But that is scarcely beginning. The |
Islands are not yet buying a third Of |

years ago. When it is considered that
they are all Frustrated in their indus
tries, just relieved from Spanish rule
and the deyastations of war, and have
not yet recovered their former produc-

crease OF s2O.OOO,OOO promises several
times as much, and yet it is already
large enough to count on the right

Heir to Millions.

The DeHaven family residing at
Mahaffey Cleariield county, have just
fallen heirs TO a fortune Of 1886, 900, a
sum sufficient to make them all rich,
and they can all retire now to private
life. This vast sum comes from Ger
many and is not one of those visionary
fortunes so common in this day, but an
absolute certainty.
Over 100 years ago one Jacob DELAY
en- purchased from the German govern
ment bond calling for sl5O,OO0, which
bond was never paid and which as now
adjusted by the government and the
attorneys Of the claimants amounts to
the large sum of s3,636, 6,O00.-Punxsu-

This is the fortune that our old towns

Was a Prominen, Mason.

We briefly stated last week that Jo-
seph s. Smith, Of Kittanning, brother
OF Ira Smith, Of this place, had died at
his home Tuesday morning, April 10th.
The deceased was prominent Mason,
Elk and Heptasopb. Funeral was held
Thursday afternoon and was in charge
Of the Masonic fraternity. 1t was a
large funeral. The following we
clipped from the Kittanning Times:
Joseph Simonds Smith was born in
Pittsburg. April 7th, 1874, and was the
son Of Leopold and Sarah Smith, both
his parents dying "a number Of years
ago. When Joseph was about two
years old his father moved to Kittun-
ming, where the deceased has resided
ever since. The subject OF this sketch
was always an active spirit In whatever
bust ness he engaged in. An untiring
worker, there was no such word us fail
with him. The writer of this has
known him all his life, and has new
er known Joseph Smith to engage in
anything that was not successful in
every way so long as he was connected
with 1t. He was n wonderful detail
man. Nothing about his business was
too minute for him to look after. On
the other hand nothing was of two great
magnitude for him to understand He
served one term ms Justice OF the
Peace in the borough, and at the cleo
tion last spring was elected q member

High compllmen, for Our Schools.

The school directors in nearby town,
who have been laboring under the inn
preston that they had the best schools IN
this section, heard that we had excelle mt
schools in Reynoldsville and one Of the
directors visited our schools recently ,and
the up-to-dateness and advancement OF
our schools over the one Of which the
visitor is a director, was u great sur.
prise to him. He reported the revela.
tion 20 his fellow directors and two or
three other members of that board ex.
pect to quietly drop into this town to
visit the schools and get some pointers
with the intention of bringing their
schools up to the high standard that
our schools have attained to. This is
certainly high compliment for the
Reynoldsvile schools, and especial
ly so when it is considered that the
school referred to pays the principal
from $1,000 to $1,000 more per month
than is paid TO our principal.

There was an Italian wedding at Big
