Political parties are like individuals, the more they get the more they want. Mark Hanna has ordered that Senator Black burns right to his seat shall be contested. This may or may not fol low, as Hanna has found out long ago that there are number of re- publican senators who will not be bossed by him. Senator Blackburn's s term will not begin until March 4, next. It is quite safe to say that he will get the seat he was elected to fill, notwithstanding the big republican ma jority in the senate.

President Mckinley's request made to the cabinet that each of them retain their portfolios under the new admin istration, which has been widely ex- plotted, as something extraordinary, was in reality but q bit of buncombe, d sort of official certificate of charac- ter for each of the gentlemen who are members of the cabinet; so says a Washington writer. It is not probable that any president who was ever re- elected failed to ask the members of his cabinet to remain With him,s Tal- though there Is no record of any of them having chosen MT Mckinley $ way of doing it-a speech at cabinet
 meeting. Nothing is more certain than that there will be changes in the cabinet when the next admins tration begins.

PIANOS IN KANSAS.

A trade bulletin shows that during the past year Kansas has bought more pianos in proportion to population than some eastern states. i.a ,..
 On which an eastern newspaper eX- presses the opinion that the publica- ton will deter emigration from Kan sas.
 Not so.
 Call an illustrious American to the MfthtsS staqSd.. In his every fiber Ralph Waldo Emerson was q true, a tynical and prophetic American.
 He wrote when the piano was rarer and costlier than now. when trarsDor- tation was slower and population less dense to the acre.
 Emerson wrote: ''It is wonderful how soon piano gets into log hut on the frontier You would think they found 1t under pine stump. With it comes a Latin grammar and one of those tow-headed bows has writ ten hymn on Sunday. Now let col Ieges now let senates take heed! For here is one who, opening these fine aastesr on the basis of the pioneers ,iron constitution, will gather all their .lanrels in. his strong hands" Let Kansas bny pianos and play them, and let the first tune learned aIU tue tiSSt sung OS thC otAA Spangled Banner"
 After that "Home, Sweet Home.'' for these two are most characteristic of all American music. the one glorify- ing the republic and the other confess Ing a sweetness and tenderness of family devotion nowhere on earth deeper than in the homes of the Amer lean pioneers.

of the United States. Furthermore. Mir Ireland shows that the United Kingdoms tropical colonies consume annually only n cents worth of Eng lish goods sperl head of population. Trade follows the flag? Bosh! It fol lows the converging lines of demand and supply. In flat contradiction or the contention, that the conquest of dis tant and alien peoples is genuine or truly profitable national expansion, history speaks. James Anthony Froude unanswerably says, in his life of Julius Caesar, modestly called "A Sketch: If there be one lesson which history clearly teaches, it is this: that free n2- tions cannot govern subject provinces. If they are unable or unwilling to ad- own constitution, the constitution it. self twill fall In pieces fremFInere in competence for it's duties.' Prof Thor old Rogers, in his admirable ''Story of Holland" bears like testimony. He says: '.If. one searches through history one can never find q single case in which public opulence can be traced to foreign conquest, in which the cost to the public Of occupying and main taining such conQuests has not been greatly in excess of all the profit which privatc interests have secured from them." No standard or reliable historian. says other than this. This IS the verdict of universal history. Is it progress to disdain the universal lesson of all trustworthy history?

TRIED NINE DAYS.

The mysterious disappearance of two valuable hounds owned by A. w. combs of Oakland has been explained. and the story behind it proves one of the most remarkable cases of canine falthfulness and determination ever recorded. Combs was one of a party or hunters who returned few days ago from a weeks hunting trip in the mountains back of Crescent City, Del Norte county.
 The party had taken along four nounds, Which were missed during the hrst night in the mountains. They had evidently strayed away during inc night, and for the following four days the hunters were without their com panions. On the fourth day, however two Of the hounds returned to camp the two belonging to Combs being hnally given up for lost or stolen When the hunters were ready to start for home. they informed Superior Judge Cutler of the mysterious disap- pearance of the two hounds and re- quested him to advertise a reward for their return in his name.
 One day last week Mir Combs re- ceived letter from Judge Cutler con- vey1ng the happy news that the hounds had been recovered. Judge Cutler writes that they were found in the mountains, several miles from where the Oaklanders had been hunting, by miner, who had heard them barking for several days. The miner had gone to investigate aud found two hounds holding the fort at the base of large tree. into which bear ha q climbed for safety from their attack. This was nine days after they had been missed from the hunters camp, and for several days they had remained on watch at this particular tree. They were completely exhausted and very nearly starved to death, as was also the bear, which the miner killed.-San | Francisco Chronicle

''CONJUGAL STATE' IN CHICAGO.

Judge Neely made a most delicate legal distinction when. in dismissing a petition for divorce. he ruled that the biting of woman's finger by her hus- band 'is not cruelty, but peevishness." This is most important, for while we fancy that husbands in general do not make practice of biting their wives fingers, it is advisable to have a claS- sitication for the act when it does oc- cur. Reasoning by analogy we gather that a revised conjugal code would proceed somewhat after this fashion Biting wife's ingers-Peevishness

The question of how to govern tn

The question of how to govern the Filipinos. after we catch: them. is one that is going to tax the best brains in the country. There is a wide differ ence of opinion on the subject. Writing on this matter, the editor of one of our exchanges says that the imperlalistic annexation of purchased or subju- gated peoples adds, likewise, to the na- tion's extent. But in each case there is the addition of disease, there is gross and perilous deterioration, there Is the surrender of health-in the one case individual in the other national. How can we extend our institutions to the Philippines when, in order to reach and seize them, we drop our institutions on,gthe way? How can we extend our government over the Filipinos when, to govern them at all, we must aban- don the fundamental principles upon which Gouro gpyernpaat iSl1 based, and degenerate until we become low and base enough to join the barbaric pa- rade of nations whose only right is might and whose only god is greed? How can We even expand our trade when we either kill those with whom we are talking of trading or treat them in such fashion as to invite their ever lasting enmity? Is it not easier to trade with friends than with foes? We might have had-we might still have tine friendship of the Filipinos, by the simple expedient of treating them just ly, road "as plain as way to parish church. The eontention that imperi- alistic subjugation Is essential or eyen advantageous to trade e1pansfdh is ;ah argument too hollow antiEtoe cantng to deserve aught but con sssHnt Trade follows the ;flagl Hqw cdlsaes 1t, then, that the trade of the InItsa States is larger with Great RrltAih than with any other country in the world?

Portlands. A big lead was obtained by
Capt. Mckay and his mates In the first
period and after that the result was never
In doubt. The Portlands simply played
all around the BanGors and did about
as they pleased In rolling goals into the
cage. The Portlands played with vim
and dash which was In marked contrast

that represented Rooklaud, with one
exception. Big Furbush was suffering
with an injury TO one or his eyes. He
was obliged TO lay of and his place was
taken by young Dyer, the we'll known
player OF So1th Portland. The lad from
across the way made very suspicious
