Small Things OF the Farm.

4 number OF little things make big
thing Twenty Eickels make dollar.
There are many little things on tie
farm which II neglected make a big
thing. Look after the minor details;
the more important matters will take
care OF themselves; they will be largo
enough to be seen. and the farmer will
not overlook them. But the little things
mus; be looked after. o, they will not
be seen. Farming is a sort OF tombina-
ton, made up OF a Thousand ard oue
little things, all Of which should ta
given attention in due season. A few
big mistakes are very noticeable, small
ones are not, yet the small ooes will in
a short time make one OF the big ones.
A good garden is a small thing. but will
develop into big thing il you make it.
YoI can buy your vegetables or grow
them as you like. In the enc case you
save money. This is a small thing, yet
it helps, for every little helps. 90 the
other hand you spend money. This also
is a small thing at drst. but gradually
becomes larger. Attend to the small
and seemingly unim portaut things and
you will succeed better with the larger
more important things.

An Exposition Most Sould.

The editor OF Brooklyn Eagle. Mr.. s..
and writor. Over his own signature
he sent communication to the New
York Journal which every man, who has
any doubts about the rightful status Of
the United States in the Philippines,
should read. After discussing the re-
sponsibilities forced by events upon the
United States by the war with Spain,
Mr.. McElway deals with the putting
do xn OF the rebellion ihtr.-which he
holds as virtually accomplishcd-and
then disusses the rights sod oblig atoms
OF the United States there in way
which should command the most careful
peruaal. 1t is as follows:
a colonial policy toward resisting
colony cannot be settled till resistance
has ceased, for resistance itself in the
form Of war prescribes counter war as
its oaiy treatment.
When resistance is completely at an
end expansionis,s will meet those who
call themselves anti imperalis,s more
than half way in the interest OF as much
freedom and local government for the
Flipinos as they are capable o. improv-
iog for their own good and ours. The
consti,utionality OF this is plain.
The Republic is a nation. As a nation
it made the Constitution. and the
Constitution did not make it. 1t de-
rives FROM the Constitution no right and
duty Of sovereignty.
Its sovereignty is in itself. not in the
Constitution. Its sovereignty preceded
the Constitution and may survive it.
Always its Constitution must be con-
s,rued with reference to its sovereignty
and never can its sovereignty be arrest
ed or impaired by its Constitution in it's
dealing. with nations making aggressions
upon it or with those in resistance to
its sovereign authority.
No Territory has a natural right to
constitutional privileges any more than
a man has a natural right to the ballot.
A Territory receives constitutional priv
ileges by Congressional action. and
man receives the ballot by action oflav.
Thus received. both become rights. but
they are conferred. and not original.
rights in their very nature. Congress
can confer on ary Territory some. all or
no constitutional privileges. and can
confer what it confers. condiiionally.
Internationally. gradually or instantly,
as il rlesses.
This is historical Democracy and
Republicauism both
No Justice ef the Supreme Court,
from Chief Justice Marshall down, no
Senator or President OF the United
States ever said more. or said il more to
the point. in the same number OF words,
than will be seen in the above. No uaan
has ever. in so few words, made 80 clear
what the sovereignty OF this Nation
means. or drawn a clearer distinction
between the sovereignty OF the Nation
and OF the Constitution. What there
is OF the latter is derived from the
Nation, and always its Constitution
must be construed with reference TO its
sovereignty. and never can its eover-
eighty be arrested or impaired by its
Constitution in it's dealings with nations
making aggreeeious upon it or With
| those in resistance to its sovereign
authority" We hope that every reader
Gill give the above extract the mos,
careful perusal.
