The pictures presented by the state
press of the gubernatoIial situation
is one of the most amusing features
OF the time. 1t reminds w OF many
a scene on the village campus In our
school boy days when some big lub.
Der OF a boy had abused a little fell
low, who was sobblng with pain and
anger, till his. mates would unite for
protection or revenge! and make dire
threats OF what they would do IL the
abuse was repeated and the bully
would put a chip on his shoulder and
defy any one to remove 1t while the
whole party were trembling IN their
boots for fear someone would take
them at their word and they wOule
have to fight or back out. Pingree
carries the chip, and the other aspir-
ants and their friends are waltzing
around with a grand flourish telling
what is going to happen. 1t is our
opinion that when the proper time
comes the abused kid-the suffering
people-will through their delegates
settle the whole question and that
without regard to the senseless twad.
die and political wire-pulling Of to-
day.

The old-line Democrats In every
southern border state are tired of
free silver. of Bryan, OF anti-expan-
sion, and the way is being opened for
the breaking up Of the solid south.
The leading journals OF the South
are all against the "anti-imperiial-
istic yawpers, as they are called, and
are for maintaining that which the
treaty of Paris and the valor of our
soldiers and sailors have won. 1t Is
now given out that Missouri is more
than likely to join the republican
column Ia the coming election, and
with the negro question eliminated
Bryan would be unable to carry a
single southern vote. Some we'll
known Republicans are in favor of
nominating former Lieut.. Governor
Stanard, of Missouri, as the running
mate Of Mckinley. Mr.. Staunard Is
a we'll known business man, former
president of the St. Louis Board of
Trade, and popular and represen-
ttative citizen.-Sag. Conr. Herald.

Congressman Patterson, OF Ten
nessee, has deserted Bryan. lie
says: "From this time forward
count me among the hostiles. In
plain English, l shall never again
support W. j. Bryan or his spurious
brand Of Democracy. Ny last vote
for him aud and what he represents
was cast in 1895. At the same time
l recognize that his nomination Is
inevitable. EeQually inevitable Is
his defeat at the hands Of William
Mckinley. In the Democratic con-
vention Bryan will not have the
shadow of opposition, but when cleo
ton day comes the number OF sound
money Democrats will be double the
number who voted for Mckinley In
1895. Never again will vote for

Doc. Ames, of Minneapolis, at one
time the idol of the Democracy of

party of progress, patriotism and de-
velopment. The doctor said the rea-
son he was In harmony with the Re-
publican party was because he was

The more this question of expan-
siou is Investigated the chilller be-
come the prospects of those who OPP
pose 1t. Among the many eminent
jurists and constitutional author tiles
who have adorned the United States
Supreme Conrt, none ranked higher
than Chief Justice Marshal. In CIV
ing an opinion In a salvage case that
sta rted in Florida, just after it was
transferred from Spain to the United
States, and was yet territory part
ly governed by the old Spanish laws,
he laid down ruling that is good
for all time, and so clearly defined
that there can be no installing it,
1t Is so peculiarly adapted to the
Philippine question that it deserves
to he quoted by every paper in the
country, and to be remembered. The
Chief Justice said;
"The constitution con fers absolut-
ely on the government Of the Union
the right of making war and of max ing
treaties; consequently that govern
ment possesses the power of acQuir.
ing territory, either by conquest or
by treaty.
"The usage of the world is, il a ma
ton be not entirely subdued. to con-
slider the holding OF conquered ter
ritory as mere military occupation,
until its fate shall be determined at
the treaty OF peace. II it be coded
by the treaty, the acquisition is con-
frmed, and the ceded territory be-
comes a part of the nation to which
1t is annexed, either on the terms
stipulated In the treaty or cession,
or on such as its new master shall
impose"
ION February End, 1919, Spain
coded Florida to the United States.
This treaty Is the law OF the land,
and admits the inhabitants of Flor
ida to the enjoyment of the priv
ileges, rights and immunities of the
citizens of the United States. They
do not, however, participate in the
political power, they do not share In
the government till Florida shall be-
come state. In the meantime
Florida continues to be a territory of
the United States"

A Comparison.

Some comparative figures, having
relation to the war In South Africa,
are not withou interest
The area of the Transvaal is 49,
139 square miles, or aoout as large as
onc-half Of Texas. or a little smaller
than nevada. In the Orange Free
State are only AZ, 326 square miles, or
little less than In Louisiana. The
Transvaal and the Free State have a
little more than half the combined
area Of the British possessions Ia
South Africa, but these last equal
nearly one-tenth of the total area OF
the British Empire.
The codquest OF the Transvaal and
the Orange Tree State would add to
the empire an area one-third as large
/ AZ British Columbia and the North
west territories, aud make room for
the colonization of millions of Eng
/ lishmen.
There are II, sos, SOC persons of all
races In British South Afrlcr, includ-
ing Natal and Zululand, while there
are only 1882 persons in both the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
The total populatian Of the British
Empire is to the combined population
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State as 16l to 1. The total popula-
tion OF England, Scotland, Ireland
and Wales is over $4,000, 900 as
against less than $50, 900 In boz tn the

There is no comparison between
former editions and this splendid
Almanac for 1900, now ready. Print
ed in beautiful colors, on much finer
paper, its 1876 pages are packed with
invaluable information on stor ms,
astronomy and meteorology. 1t is
illustrated with nearly 200 finest
half tones and other engravings.
This superb book would sell any
where for fifty cents, but it costs
only Csc copy, and every subscriber
to Rev. Irl r. Hicks now famous
paper, Words and Works, at $1.00 a
year, receives this elegant Almanac
as premium. Words and Works is
recog nized leader among the best
family and scientific journals, while
nothing Of it's kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dol
lar a year is nominal price for such
unique and useful publications. Pro-
fessor Hicks has justly, and of neces-
