Bone OF the DImeuties n Paciac TeIe-
ErnpE Cable WIN Have
20 Orercome.

In view Of the constant activity II
Atlantic cables which has resulted IN
3 new cable about every two years
since the first successful cable Of 1856,
It stands to reason. says Seribner s
Magazine, that the difficulties offered
by the Pacific ocean must be very
great for the nineteenth century to
reach its close without q definite
scheme for spanning the Pacific BY
telegraph having been adopted The
difficulties may be summed up in q
few words: First, the great cost OF
a complete system Of cables; second,
the extreme depth Of water known
to exist in certain parts Of the Pacihc
and feared in others; third the long
distances between landing points, and
fourth, the lack Of intermediate points
having an active trade.
The estimated cost Of the British
Pacific cable, for a single cable con
Meeting Vancouver with Australia and
New Zealand, is placed at about 81
OO0, 900, including two repairing ships
and a sum Of SITS, 600 for maintenance
Of the cables for six months. The
president Of one Of the cable com
panies Of New York estimates that
the total capital cost Of a cable to
japan, Australia and the Philippines
BY way of Hawaii at 1900 goo, and
the cost Of maintenance, including
two repairing ships and Of operating
expenses, at $500, 900 a year. 1t is not
considered that a single cable viii be
sufficient to insure permanent com
municatiOn, and any scheme for Pa
cific cable must provide eventually for
duplicate cables throughout the en-
tire route, so that the total capital
cost Of a thoroughly reliable and eff
icient cable system may be put down
at approximately SIC, 100000, which
would include two repairing ships, a
reasonable quantity Of spare cable and
the equipment Of operating stations
at the various landing points.

ADHESIVE STAMPS

and Saved for Far

Washington Star representative.
ut is not necessary to do that, as is
commonly supposed" said a lawyer.
you may take your scissors and cut
out the adhesive mot the impressed
stamp and stick it fast to your new
envelope with mucilage, notwfthstaud-
ing the adhering piece OF the old en-
velOpe.
1T does not look nice, and may be-
come detached In the mail, but If the
stamp is a genuine, unused, adhesive
stamp it is not questioned. The gov
eminent, when it sells an adhesive two
cent stamp, undertakes for such con-
sideratiOn to transport and deliver to
destination the letter to which it Is af-
fixed. The fact that it has a piece Of an
envelope to which it was formely at
tached, but not used or deposited for
mailing, does not relieve the govern
ment to execute its part of the con-
tract when the letter is deposited for
mailing, the stamp being otherwise
perfect.
"An impressed stamp, however, cut
from an envelope, is defective and in
valid for postage purposes It is aston
ishing how many of these are used,
some people, apparently, being unable,
or too ignorant, to discriminate be-
tween adhesive and impressed stamps.

rage-a few more than possessed the
suffrage under the Dole government
But the main purpose Of the presi-
dent is to deal With the islands as
markets for American products and as
the subjects Of commercial exploitation
generally.
It is important to digress a moment
for the purpose Of saying that the
president is largely under the influence
Of certain clergymen, one Of whom con
Eiders that he is the chosen champion
Of Professionalism In its imaginary war
with ROmanism, and this accounts in
a large measure for his conviction that
IN spreading Christianity and civiliza-
ton among the heather he is gaining
and keeping the approval Of good
Americans. Mr.. Mckinley is a loyal
Methodist, and IS naturally stirred and
moved by the enthusiasm and spirit Of
that important denomination.
One thing is settled definitely In re
spect Of the Philippines. The open
door is not to be applied to them. The
republican party viii not consent to
give to the Asiatic world an oppOrtun-
ity to land its goods IN the Philippines
free Of duty, to enjoy whatever mOdi-
fed tariff there may be established be
tween the Philippines and this country.
This brings Us to the presidents
point Of view Of the constitutional
question He regards his attitude as
essentially the proper republican atti-
tude. When a constitutional question
Is presented-questiOns involving the
extent Of national jurisdictiOn-the re-
publican naturally favOrs the broad in
depreciation and the democrat the in
depreciation that would restrict the
powers Of the general government. In
this instance the question concerns
party policy.
If 1t should be held that the consti-
tuition applies to the new possessions,
the tariff policy Of the republican party
would be weakened and the protected
interests would be offended. Therefore,
the tendency of the republicans is to
interpret the constitution in such a
manner as to meet what they regard as
the evils which would follow the ac-
ceptance Of the new possessions as
parts Of the territory Of the United
States.
This makes the constitutional ques-
ton political rather than judicial, and
the mind that is working In the direc-
ton Of the end which Mr.. Mckinley has
reached finds it rather easy to sustain
the conclusion most satisfactory to it
by precedents which to other minds
prove precisely the opposite.
To sum up, it is Mr.. McKinley's be
lief, and it viii be his purpose to carry
the belief into operation, that the con
stitution does not apply to any Of our

A Boston preacher has made a
great discovery, and now claims that
he can live without work. He has
organized society which he calls
the "Holy Ghost and U.s." All its
members have to do is to sit and
wait for people to bring food and
drink and raiment. For seven years
he has been living in that manner.
Every community contains a few
persons who have been looking for
such snap all their lives, and the
"Holy Ghost and Us" society should
enjoy a rapid growth. 1t may re-
quire an unusual amount of conf
dence to become true member OF
the society though.
