He Got tho Place and is Likely to

He was a freckle faced, foxy-look-

not more than about half as big as he
ought to be, but he was wiry and his
eyes were clear The proprietor Of

Americas Great Opportunity.

In this practical world there is moth
ing quite SO great as a great opportunity.
During the past twelve months much
has occurred in England. More than
100000 troops, the flower of British
manhood. have been chasing Beers in
South Africa, and have been causing
the Government to spend millions of
dollars a day, and to lay the hand of
taxation heavily upon the people. With
the absence of part of England's work
ing force, and with the presence of the
financial problem, the sharp witted
American saw his chance. This has
happened not only in regard to the
transportation problem in London, not
only in respect to the charters for troll
ley lines in the other cities of England,
Scotland and Wales, but also in respect
to the building of large industries on
American plans and the profitable en-
ployment of American capital.
England made millions out of our
Civil War and did not lose anything in
our war with Spain. Now it is the turn
of the United States.
In round numbers, we are now send
ing from our shores 100000 worth of
exports every day. OF this over 81, oo0,-
600 per day is in manufactured goods.
Take the increase by decades. The
figures given are quoted from state
ment from the Treasury Department:
'In 1860 the exports of manufactures
averaged three and one-half millions
per month; in 1870 they were little
over five millions per month; 1880 they
were less than ten millions per month;
in 1890 they We're twelve and one
half millions per month; in 1899
they were twenty eight millions per
month, and in the fiscal year 1900, thirty
six million dollars per month";" More
than three-fourths of these exports go
to Europe.
In big things this country leads so
markedly that sometimes it hardly
seems that it has any competition. In
wealth it is at least twenty-five percent
ahead of any other nation. In coal and
other resources it has paramountcy-
to borrow word from our current
politics which towers beautifully. In
the annual products Of its manufacture
ed industries it is nearly fifty per cent.
ahead. The Saturday Evening Post.

Launch of a Six-Master.

There was launched at Bath at 1880
p. m, Oct. 10th, the Eleanor A. Percy,
the largest wooden six-masted schooner
in the world and the second one con-
structed, the Geo. w. Wells launched in
Camden few weeks ago was the first.
The Percy is 431 tons larger than the
Camden schooner, as the following Gus
tom House figures show.
Eleanor A. Percy.--Length, 323.5;
breadth, 80; DEPTH 24.S; gross tonnage,
3401.96.
Geo. W. Wells.-Length, 319.3; breadth,
49,; depth, %; gross tonnage, 2970
The craft was christened by Miss
Eleanor A. Percy, daughter of S. R.
Percy, senior member of the firm OF
Percy & Small. The ceremony consist
ed of scattering bouquet of roses and
pinks over the bow as the craft struck
the water. She said, II christen thee
Eleanor A. Percy" The vessel was
built by the firm of Percy & Small, who
launched the five-master Helen w. Mar
tin in March and one with the same
number of sticks called the William c.
Carnegie in August. The principal
dimensions of the Percy are given above.
Her rigging is wire, and the masts of Or
egon pine are 1913 feet long, with top
masts of half that length.
The vessels frame is of hackmatack
and oak and her hull is strengthened by
steel braces Her decks are of hard
pine, and her cabin fittings are of quar-
tered oak and mahogany All of her
appliances are of the latest and most APP
proved pattern. The schooner will cost
$14O, 900 when completed. She is owned
in Bath, Boston and New York, the
builders, Percy & Small, being managing
owners. The schooner will be com
manded by Captain "Linc" w. Jewett,
formerly of the schooner Charles P.
hoffman. She will be ready for sea ear
ly in November.

The Danger of Imperialism.

In his speech before the Massachu-
sets Republican Convention Senator
Lodge referred to the attack upon Gov
Roosevelt in Colorado. He said:
| was on the platform in that hall, and
watched how the meeting was broken
up. Gov Roosevelt spoke; or it was a
dialogue, rather than speech, and he
kept up his end of it extremely WELL
Then they called on Gen. Hale. He
graduated some years ago from West
Point with the highest honors. He re-
signed from the army and went into bus
mess. AfterWard he went out with a
Colorado regiment, and after he got to
the Philippines he was promoted to be
general of a brigade After going
through all the first year Of the war he
came back and his regiment was mus
tered out
He began by saying that he was a free
silver man: that he believed in bimet-
tallisln and in ''16 to L. They hooted
his declaration. He stepped to the front
and said ''When the flag have march
ed with is attacked, and the uniform |
have worn is assailed. | am going to
vote with the party that stands by both. y
He was hooted doWll-not allowed to
speak amy more ractically driven from
the stage, because of his allusion to the
flag; because of his alluSion to the uni
form of the United States.
That is where these teachings lead.
1t is among very few people yet; but
that is where these teachings lead And
if yoV had been there and seen it, as |
have that single incident would have
been to you as flash of light on what
all these preachings of calamity and
hatred mean.
Imperialism, as | have said, and tried
, to show in more speeches than one, is
hunbug and fanataclsm; and so it is SO
far as the Philippines are concerned.
The American people are not going to
be enslaved because they happen to
own the Philippine islands. There is
no imperialism coming that way
But there is way i'll which imperial
ism has always come. What has open
ed the door to them ALTO the Napo-
Icons of the race? The first stage is
disorder, anarchy, the overthrow of
Well-established traditions, the down
fall of the sanctity of the courts, the
denial of justice the denial of free
speech-that tyranny of anarchy which
is a tyranny so bad that men will dc
! anything to escape it.
Let me say to you in all solemnity
that the danger OF Imperialism lies
only in the danger of disorder. When
orderly liberty, ordered and orderly
liberty, is broken down OF manned, and
disorder and chaos reign in their stead,
let history show you that then the step
! is a short one to order without liberty.
/ There is where the danger comes. 1t
comes from the men who would create
disorder, who would array class against
class, who in all this great land can see
nothing but the ugly, grinning faces of
calamity and woe The richest and
most successful people on earth, and
yet they can see no happiness, no we'll
being anywhere-all hatred, all the set
ting of class against class. Now | say
that those men and those teachings are
not in accordance with American ideas,
with American history and American
! traditions.

"To A Good Soldier"

That MI Richard Harding Davis
knows how to gain the good will Of
soldiers is shown by an incident that
occurred while he was correspondent
with the army about to sail for Cuba.
Massachusetts troops had their first
death-that of a young man named
Weslie A. Brass.
Mr. Davis was anxious to pay some
mark of respect to the memory of this
young soldier.
He wanted flowers, and out into the
sun he tramped. From place to place
he went, but not flower was to be had.
For two hours he kept up his search,
but money could not buy a blossom. He
was told, however, that eight miles
away, at lake side he might get some.
Along the single main street of Lake
land the petty shopkeepers were doing
through their noon hours; no one was
abroad who did not positively have to
be; but out into the blistering heat Mr..
Davis started away on horseback for a
sixteen-mile trip. He found the flowers,
brought them back, protecting them as
carefully as possible from the heat of
the sun, and then, with his own hands,
he made a simple cross Of laths and tied
them ON.
He still needed some colors. A flag
was not to be had. From store to
store he tramped, waking up the pro-
prietors, till he got some red, white
and blue ribbon, and that night his
tribute, rude-shaped, flower covered
cross, tied with the ribbons, lay upon
the casket in the clapboarded church.
He remained in town for the burial,
and when another service was held, a
week later, in the boys home town, Mr..
Davis tribute, 'To d Good Soldier"
lay, faded and battered, upon the casket,
and later was placed on the grave. [The

which has heretofore existed, or any,
thing else in conflict with the constitu-
ton of the United States. Bryan is
not only unfair, but he is untru thful.
Another thing which Bryan has done:
He said the Republican party had dis
franchised the negroes in the District of
Columbia. Had he desired to be fair,
he would have said that all voters in
the District of Columbia are disfran-
chised, but they are given the right to
vote in the States from which they come
and always maintain voting residence
wherever they have lived. The fact is,
Congress recognized Washington and
the District of Columbia as a federal
city that should be governed entirely by
the President and Congress, and not
according to the whims or caprices of
the people who reside here, either per-
manently or temporarily. Bryan knew
this as well as anybody else, but he
simply desired to make a point, even if
he had to use a partial falsehood to
do it.
''The administration should have Or
dered Dewey to leave Manila Bay i'm
mediately after the destruction of the
Spanish fleet" is the assertion often
made by Democratic orators. The
answer to this is plain. In one question,
what would the United States have
done in the Chinese crisis had it not
been for Manila as basis? The troops
which landed at Taku, fought the
battle of Tien-Tsin, and marched on to
Pekin, came from the Philippines.
Manila Bay is needed by the United
States in it's business, and will be kept.
