The Danish West Indies are to be-

William Mckinley and his people can

Jest but in earnest. The United States
offered a sum which the Danish govern

States declined TO 20. Now the Danes
have come down from their high estate
TO a certain extent and ask the Presi-
dent Of the United States to kindly name
a price, the highest possible one, which
he Will give for the ownership of the
most desirable little group IN the Anti

The Danes, ike their cousins the

frugality, for their habits Of cleanliness
and for their love OF work. They are
also nr-5ed for their types Of urban
beauty, as their cities viii testify; and
for the innate refinement which pervades
them and their homes. Thus a very de-
sirable class Of people viii be found upon

strong hand to bring within its dominion
weaker and distant races and lands;
holding them by force for the rapid
wealth they may bring-with perhaps
the occasional glory, success and sacri-
fee of war. a wondrously luxurious life
into which the fortunate few shall enter;
an accumulation Of magniicence which
for a term will charm and dazzle, and
then the shadow Of the awful question
