ONE RESULT Of THE WAR.
PRESIDENT sCHURMAN TALKS TG
BUSINESS MEN.
Our FIag IL Anchored In the Pa
cinc and This Country Has Now
Opportunities which II Wssld
Otherwise Have Lost for All Time.

ITHACA, N. r., Feb 1l.-President Jacob
b. Schurman. Of Cornell university. IN an
address before the business mems associa-
tion OF Ithaca spoke at some length on
the issues arising out OF the Philippine
question.
Regarding the commercial benefits which
the United States are to derive as a result
OF the Spanish American war, he said: The
markets of the world are open to us and
receiving our products. The Spanish war
gave US solution to that question. That
war was waged to drive from Cuba an
enete. European power, a government of
tyranny. The irony OF fate has followed
up our late war. and paradox though II be
we are now an Asiatic power with new out
let's for our products.
These are hard facts" continued Mr..
Schurman. "and as strange as they are
true. Where England and Germany kent
US from the competition II is now all ctr
own and the lions share is coming with II.
We allowed Africa to be sliced up by Euro
pean powers. 1t Is our national crime.
China has opened the door to its four hun
bred million human souls for US. Russia,
ing that great empire as Africa was d.
vided. We might have lost It, En-
gland was In despair. Its trade was ridi-
ciled by Russia Germany and France. But
the United States alone opened the doors
Of China and accomplished one Of the great
est achievements in history.
Our flag Is anchored in the Pacific: II 10
floating over the Philippines. Henceforth
we are to be on an equal FOOTING in Asia
with Russia, Germany. France and En-
gland.
But our mission 10 not alone to make
money there. although providence dropped
the island into our lap Eight million pco-
pie with immortal souls have been redeem
ed from the tyranny Of ages and our mission
Is to share with them our highest Ameri-
can civilization and liberty. They will
accept our nag, our education and then
our mission will be accomplished. 1t will be
their flag and ours. their glory and ours.
their pride and ours emblem OF the Orient
in Its highest and nobiest form"

And this naturally leads one to say a
word regarding horse sickness. OF which
everybody has been reading of late.
Horse sickness Is a complaint known only
In certain parts of South Africa, but SCI
enoe has, so far, been baffled as to its
causes, although its effects are only 100
patent. When the first frost comes 1t
seems to disappear as If by magic, hut
Immediately the hot weather sets In then
this ravaging complaint makes it's reap
pearance. But If the British authorities
are ignorant as to the cause Of tho
trouble experience is teaching them how
to guard against it. The correspo IS lent
of the Globe. who signed himself Trans
waller may rest assured that the mill
tary authorities are taking every precau-
ton against what he describes as AN
other enemy besides the Boer." And the
precautions adopted are on the lines he
has suggested, although. as has been
pointed out, IT is impossible when an
army is on the march to adopt the only
really safe course. and stable ANIMALS ev-
cry night.-London Globe.

no vegetable so good for men and women
who lead sedentary life, Just as carrots.
that grew first in Belgium, are an admir-
able tonic for the complexion, spinach Tor
the blood, potatoes for the hair and celery
for the nerves. Rhubarb. they say. was
never known until the fifteenth century,
when the Russians found 1t on the banks
of the volga, and II you will believe 1t
the only European people who appreciate
the eggplant as we do are the Turks.
North Africa first produced this vegetable;
in France 1t is eaten raw often as not,
and in obstinate England they use it for
decoration. However. the potato had TO
make desperate struggle for popularity
and for nearly a century after II was i'm
ported and grown In Europe nobody could
be persuaded TO touch 1t. Finally Parmen-
tier gave it a boom that in two centuries
had not in the least diminished. and twice
this little tuber has saved Europe from
what promised to be cruel famine"
Whereupon the customer hurried or down
tine street. leaving the green grocer staring
at his stock Of truck with a refreshing ex-
preston of pride and interest.-Lewiston
journal.
