The New York Herald. in the course of
an editorial survey of the political aspect
of the Philippine situation. says:
1.-The trouble Is Mr.. Mckinley and the re-
publican imperialists have undertaken too
much. In the expressive lingo of the west,
they have bitten OF more than they can
chew Instead of giving the Filipinos
some such form of self-government as Eng
land has given Canada, or controlling them
as she does Egypt, the administration has
striven to force upon them citizenship
they do not want and a government against
which they rebel.

native advisers and by their demagogic
allies in the United States. demand indie

Bad Advice.

The following extract from today's Balti-
more Sun shows that this estimable news
paper has sadly misinterpreted the situation
in China and the American duty there:
THE long international complica-
lions which have suddenly developed In
China should not be permitted by the gov
eminent at Washington to draw 1t aside
from the time-honored American doctrine
of no 'entangling alliances The English
snare is one especially fraught with dan
deal more help than she can give to the
United States. Besides her affair in China
and her contest for the subjugat1on OF the
valiant Beers, either of which Is a task
calling for a heavy drain on her resources,
she is now forced to deal with rebellion in
Ashanti, Gambia and Borneo. Surely. Eng
land has her hands full. In her perplexfty
she needs the help Of the United States,
and would, of course. be glad to get it. But
the traditions Of our government and the
temperament of our people alike warn the
authorities in Washington that 1t Is better
to go 1t alone"
The menace in China is against all the
civilized powers. not England alone, and
against all foreigners residing In China, not
exclusively the English. 1t must be met
by all the powers acting in concert. We
are not to waste time while Americans are
perhaps being killed in prattling about
going 1t alone, when our force Immediately
available for action of any sort does not
suffice to constitute even our quota in the
international movement. Independent ac-
ton in China will avail nothing for peace
The only safe course for this country to
pursue is to join heartily and generously in
the international movement and so take
the surest means of protecting the large
American interests in China. Those inter-
ests demand our action and 1t marks no
alliance with England or with Russia for
us to serve peace in practical manner by
cooperation with both of them 1t is a
great misfortune that such bad advice is
uttered at the time when the American
people should stand solidy behind the ad-
ministratiOn in every effort it may make to
save American lives and to avert a great
disaster which threatens American inter-

Expansion in the Convention.

Yesterdays proceedings must have con.
WINGED every man present, and is an earnest
of a like conviction throughout the country
that the triumphant note to which the con.
yention now responds and to which the
party and the nation will respond through
the campaign is expansion.
The determination to keep the Philippines
the resolution to establish there law, order
and self-government, the assertion Of the
wide work before a great nation facing the
Pacific and its possibilities, the interoceanic
canal and our duties in China-these meant
more to the delegates than all other issues.
1t is well the convention came east The
delegates Of the central west, the greater

coast. by their applause, their utterances
and their enthusiasm, have convinced east
ern delegates less certain that for the
greater part of the country expansion liz

OF loving any one, and whom she had
so vainly schemed to win.
If Mrs. Melvine's and Rosamond's
surprise was great, Myrtle's was still
greater, as she heard her handsome
farmer lover addressed as Earle Liv-
ingstone. whom she had heard of as
the most wealthy and talented Of men.
Then in answer to the astonished,
questioning leok she cast in her faith
er's direction, Mr.. Melville said:
."There can be no time better than
the present for an explanation of what
must seem strange to you all. This
gentleman" turning to Earle, ''came
to Rosevale to pay a long promised
visit to the home of his aunt, Mrs.
Carroll, and when he learned that his
nearest neighbor, namely myself, was
a millionaire, with charming daugh-
ter, he determined to be known as
Leigh Carroll, his absent counsin, and
see if. as a common farmer, he could
win wife who would love him for
loves sweet sake alone, and not for
his princely fortune, as he believed SO
many others among the fair sex had
done.'
"He succeeded" added Mr.. Melville,
with oguishly twinkle in his eyes,
flor my little Myrtle here learned to
love him as Leigh Carroll, the poor
country farmer, and l, too, believed
him to be such, and did not guess the
truth until he asked my consent to
make Myrtle his wife, and confessed
to me that he had won her love incog-
nito.'
Soon after Myrtle became the happy
bride of her king like lover, who had
won her for cloves sweet sake alone"
and Rosamond was forced to conceal
her heart agony and disappointment as
best she might, while most bitterly did
she regret that she had not decided,
like her sister, to accompany her faith
er to Rosevale.

Sailing the Sheep.


| would like to describe an apparatus
for sailing cattle and other stock so
they will always have salt before them
and no waste, writes Joseph III. Yoder
In the National Stockman. For cattle
or horses l would prefer to use rock
salt placed in boxes or troughs for the
winter, and scattered about the pas
lures on the grass in summer. Rains
have little effect upon it, and this will
be found both convenient and economi-
cal. For sheep, however, this plan does
not work so well. The rock salt is so
slow to dissolve that they are not able
to get sufficient amount of it to salts
fy their wants, hence it is necessary to
use the loose salt for them. During the
winter a box can be fastened up at a
convenient place in the shed, and at the
proper height so they can have access
to it at all times of the day. In sum-
mer, if they have not a shed to run
under, the box can be fastened to a
gate post and have a roof placed over
it so as to keep out the rain. If it is de-
sired to use loose salt for cattle, the
same arrangements can be used as have
already been described for sheep. The
roof over the box should be high enough
to be entirely out of the way Of the ami
mails. Where loose salt is used it is
necessary to be careful to keep sup
ply in the box all the time, as the ami
mails are liable to eat too much if they
go without for several days.
