OUR NEW ISLAND INDUSTRY
Sancho Papza's highest ambi-

Sancho Papza's highest ambi-
tion was to be Governor of one
island. That was a long while ago
and this country has bred an army
of ptlitical Sarcho Panzas who
want to drag the United States
into tue isiand business on the
wholesale plan. We have secured
islands pear home by conquest, a
group OF islands farther away by
annexation, ard sill farther away
we have Purchased for twenty
millions tire right to conquer a
whole archipellago-if we can.
We are still buying islands and
options On other islands, and have
agents looking fer more, and still
we are net satiated with islands.
Somebody has discovered that
it might be handy to have some
islands where no islands now ex-
ist. Supervising Architect Taylor
hus induced Secretary Gage to
send to Congress a recommends
ton that 500, 600 be appropriated
for t~hes.purpose of filing up and
raising three acres of submerged
flats adjoining Ellis Island to be
transformed into a site for a ma.
rine hospital. Ellis Island is not
large enough, Porto Rico, the Ha-
waiian and Philippine Islands are
too far away, and the main land
won't do as we'll for hospital site
as an island. There are your rea-
sons as plenty as blackherries for
a three-acre island made TO order
and delivered just where it is
wanted.
AS long as we must have is
lands as a matter of principle,
some where we want them and
more where they will be of no
use, old-fashioned folk will exe
perience some regret that we did
not begin our isiand-acquiring
career with the making of islands
instead of securing them by con.
quest or purchase. If three-acre
islands can be, delivered where
} they are wanted for 800, 600, and
larger orders in proportion, this
would seem to be the cheapest
, way to supply ourselves with
an ample assortment Of islands.
We could plant them within can.
non shot of our shores. W.
should not need to maintain "a
big army to kill rebellious ma
tives. nor a bigger navy to keep
somebody else from stealing our
islands in the night, and we
should be in no danger Of getting
into war with other nations
f about islands upon which they
were gazing with covetous eyes.
', It is quite probable that the
necessity for a three-acre island
for d marine hospital in New
York harbor has not been estab-
lished to the satisfaction of any.
body bur Supervising Architect
Taylor, but the plan of making
the islands we really want instead
of buying OR conqaering those we
don't want has it's merits.

CLEVELAND
Makes a Savage Attack Upon the
Policy Of Mckinley.

New York, Jan lS.-The speech
of ex-President Cleveland at the
banquet of the Holland society
last night, is being much discuss.
ed here today. His strong stand
against the policy of President
Mckinley has created considera.
bic surprise in view of the failure
of Mr.. Cleveland to make known
his views prior TO the election
However, the address of the ex.
President is being adopted by de.
mocrats generally, as expressing
their views. 1t is regarded as a
bid for leadership in the party.
Many different views are express.
ed as to the wisdom of following
Cleveland's lead, and we'll posted
party men say that he can never
again become q party leader, no
matter how well he accords with
his party; men who supported
Bryan are saying that Cleveland
has simply stated what the Nebras
kan said was the chief issue of the
campaign and upon which Cleve-
land would not support Bryan.
They say that it was Cleveland's
duty to have made his speech be-
fore the election, when it might
have availed something.
Cleveland's speech, while not
lengthy, was a powerful arraign-
ment of McKinley's policy :of i'm
