A REMAKAnLE AppnEss

The speech OF General James H.
Wilson. OF this city, delivered before
the Now England Free Trade League,
in Boston. Saturday evening, last. we
publish today, almost in its entirety. II
should have a careful perusal. not only
for the recommendation he makes re-
garding reciprocal relations with our
new possessions and our neighboring
States, but because OF his interesting
descriptions Of the various countries
which he has visited. and the instruc-
tive story OF their resources and their
development The address, which we
regret being compelled TO abbreyiate,
shows the student and the keen cb-
server.
General Wilson speaks highly of the
climate and natural advantages OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, and is favorably
impressed with the desirable qualities
OF their inhabitants. lie attributes
their present unfortunate condition
10 centuries OF Spanish misrule and
unwisa economic administration.
His application Of the doctrine of rec
iprOcity, or free trade. within certain
limitations, is somewhat novel and
sweeping. but the extension OF Ameri-
can influence and American commerce.
and tho broader application Of the
Monroe Doctrine may make more
comprehensive policy ON our part i'm
peratiye. There is every reason Cor
concluding that President Mckinley
had IN mind a newer and broader pol
icy applicable TO our new conditions,
when he delivered his remarkable ad-
dress at Buffalo.
General Wilson suggests that the
United States should declare ITS will
ingness TO agree TO absolute and rocip-
rocal free trade with all the States Of
North America, in natural and manu-
acturod products. and between our
country and Its possessions wherever
situated: a uniform tariff to be agreed
upon and to be carried into effect as
against other countries. He intimates
that this policy might ultimately be cx-
tended 10 South America.
The idea is startling in ite novelty,
and is so far-reaching that it will re-
quire careful investigation and pro
found thought. Il would mean sort
OF Month American trade alliance un-
der which there would be practical
free trade. Undoubtedly the nations of
the Old World would regard such a sys-
tenn with a jealous eye,and consider the
scheme as another evidence of Ameri-
can aggression. But the plan is sweep
ing and daring and shows profound re-
search illumined by rarg Imagination.
In the broadest sense 1t is a great
Republican address; il is alive to pres.
ent necessities. and puts aside the dog.
mas which have had their day, and
served their purpose. We say 1t has
imagination, and that is no unimport
ant feature in formulating new an,
enduring policie II has helped tC
make the great party with which Gen
erai Wilson is affiliated and ITS propol

Three GuiItIe.s Men conxicted.

III the accusation which a Belgian

pand is true, the government Of her
country will ave the imprisonment of
n and the execution of two innocent
men on its conscience. These men
were ~laborers, and when, some time
ago, a series of crimes, among them
the murder OF an old woman, was COM
mltted at Hautmont, they were ac-
cused of being the assassins. They all
pleaded innocent, hut it was Of no
avail One was imprisoned for life,
the other guillotined. While one of the
condemned men, Degroot by name,
was being bound before his execution,
he said:
You cannot tie all OF me. You will
not have my immortal soul, and you
Will be punished for all the wrong you
have done to me-"
This was seven years ago, and now q
woman named Soumange has come
forW and declared that the crimes
for which these men were punished
were committed by her husband. Elk
animation proves her perfectly sane,
and he authorities, who are making
the most rigid investigation, seem in
clined to believe her.

There is in London at the present
time an individual who can scarcely
be described otherwise than as a
smile" doctor. For n small fee he
will transforl.. the most uncomely
laugh or smile into a dainty and ele-
CANT p~layfulpess of the lips-only he
must have his fee first.
AS many know, it is no easy matter
to control the gambols Of the lips and
mouth, and small wonder, then, that
the services of the smile" doctor are
greatly in demand.
On the occasion of every visit this
gentleman puts his subjects through
certain lip and mouth exercises, which
are of his own invention, and by on
slant practice the desired pretty smile
is obtained in a few weeks. Actresses
and music hall artists largely patron
ize the smiling tutor, and rumor has it
hat the individual in question is, in
this way, fast amassing wealth.
