Taken as whole this Spanish business has proven mighty expensive and exasperating experiment to Uncle Sam.

where Successes Are Born.

'1t is trife surprising" observes a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle," when you think that New York city, town of more than 5000. 900 people. produces not an author, an artist, an actor, pro- fessionaI man, not even politician of the first class. The successes are born in the country. Physicians tell us that city families cease to be born after the third generation, the line having degen- erated. Immunity from the shocks and rasps of city life is purchased by the staying away from it. One must go hack to the fields to restore health"

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Wars In Abundance.

Editor of Ne,os:
 Your suggestion in regard to old i'm plements of war may be all correct. While read thought "when will the British stop shooting Boers. and Boers the British, the Americans the Philip pinos, the Philippines the Americans. When will Christian nations learn war no more. and the implements of war be beaten into ploughshares and pruning hooks?"
 Your suggestion undoubtedly will be the sentiment of the public. There are other wars that make desolate-Politi- cal. Capital and Labor and Business wars. What will be the relic ornaments for them in the future?
 It is a pretty windy time, and if we continue to SOW to the wind we shall surely reap the whirlwind. Righteous ness exalteth nation but sin is re- proaoh to any people.
