II was sitting on the veranda Of a
far western hotel one afternoon" said
the Boston drummer, and was lazily
smoking one Of the incest meerschaum
pipes you ever saw when out of the
tail Of my eye saw that a native down
at the other end of the veranda had his
gun sighted at me. They were wild
lot around there, and couldn't tell
whether he meant to shoot me or the
pipe The chances were in favor of the
pipe, however, and it seemed d good
chance to test my nerve. | made up
my mind to let him shoot and to pre-
tend careless air, but I'm telling you
in the ten or fifteen seconds of waiting
the sweat came out at every pore and
my heart pounded my ribs sore. felt
sort of tick at the bowl of the pipe,
heard the crack of the gun and knew
that the bullet had passed through the
pipe got brace with my hands and
feet and waited for a second bullet,
and it went through the bowl after the
first / sat there until his fourth bull
let had hit the pipe and knocked the
bowl off the stem, and then the shooter
sauntered up to me and laughingly
said
Excuse me, stranger, but thought
it was imitation

my gibe hurt him, but he was man
enough to tell everybody about my
nerve, and the boys Clipped in sufi-
cient nuggets to buy me this fifty dol
lar smoker. Say, do you know what
happened to me when made an ex-
cuse to go up stairs after my old corn
cob? / had no sooner got into my room
than my knees gave out, chills galloped
up my spine, and I'll be hanged il |

minutes. 1t had suddenly occurred to
me that the bowl of that pipe was only
six inches from my nose while the fell
low was doing his shooting, and have
not yet got over touching my nasal
organ now and then to see if 1t is

cries, where baby ants were carefully
tended by the adults. We should find
that the ants coming from the
plant gave part of their honey to
these nurses, who in turn shared it
with their charges, while the ants
who had brought it returned to the
plant for more. Thus we should see
the meaning of the little battle on the
bud from the point of view of the
ants. They were getting food for
their community and were willing to
risk their lives for the sake Of that
community.

OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA.

The most ardent anti-imperialist may
consistently declare that it would be
unwise for Cuba to cut entirely loose
from the United States. We shall have
TO protect Cuba against foreign agrees
sion and as a consequence. We ought to
and must have control over her foreign
relations. Our present relation to Cuba
is that of a guardian to his ward. That
relation must continue until the Cubans
have demonstrated their ability to look
out for themselves. In the mea time,
if the Cubans take any action viii h We
are forced to believe will result disas,
trously it is our privilege and duty to
veto it and such action is to be found in
the decision not to limit the fran
chise by an educational test.
The illiterates form dangerously
large proportion Of the Cuban pcpula.
ton, and if they are allowed to vote in
Discriminatory, Cuban Sc f government
will be a bowling farce.
The United States should, therefore, in
sist on retaining control over Cuba's for
eign relations; it should veto any I'M
satisfactory clauses in the new Cuban
constitution, and, as matter of COM
mercial advantage for both countries, We
might insist on free trade or a pre- e. en-
tial tariff between the United States and
Cuba. Such policy, while LEAVING Cuba
practically Independent and self-govern-
ing, might be found more advantageous
and satisfactory to both countries than
actual annexation. It is safe to say that
a similar policy will eventually prevail
in the Philippines, if not under Rerub-
lican, at least under a Democratic adm n
istration.

lighting to acknowledge the sovereignty
of the British crown.
If the United States he wise It will avoid
the errors made by Britain in her career
of empire. No lasting ties can be form
ed by the forces of subjugation. Ale
glance in modern empire building can
not be forced. Spain tried that and
failed-failed because she had fallen te-
hind the spirit of the age. A colony

The policy of England has been to seek
out new territory, people it with her
hardy sons and bring it into close rela-
tons with the mother country by ties OF
trade, so that when the older colonies
become of age and demand autonomy,
there are new ones to take their places.

respect the victory has rested thus far
with Mrs. Nation and her auxiliaries.
They have in all gagements which have
thus far taken place save one routed the
enemy and brought utter confusion to his
ranks. The tactics Of the enemy in that
| case, however, may prove dangerous. AS
long Nas any fairly able-bodied female
with a divinely appointed mission has
only clumsy and laundering manhood TO
deal with in her career the way to
ultimate and complete victory is open
and clear. But when she is confronted
by another woman who has a purely HUI
namely appointed mission, and whose
finger nails are in proper condition, es-
pecially if she, too, goes around armed
with a club, then indeed does the strug-
gle assume a phase which threa tens seri-
ously the accomplishment of any mission
whatever, no matter though the warrant
of it come directly from above on au-
thority even higher than that of Mrs
Nation.
All we are called on to do is to picture
Mrs. Nation and her forces doing battle
with club and finger nails with superior
force of female adherents of the saloon
cause to foresee disaster early and COM
plete, confronting those militant
females. In such an event man, of
course, with his usual dispos ton to lily
from difficult situation, would leave
the battle to be fought out by the ladies
themselves, with the almost inevitable
result that the counter irritant Of
ranged tresses would operate to produce
a speedy cure of whatever nervous dis
arrangement the unfeeling may regard
as underlying the mission OF the noble
glass insurance in the state of Kansas
an extra hazardous risk
1t is not to be supposed that the local
authorities of Kansas communities, with
their marked predisposition to c,ose their
eyes to the existence of the saloons and
of the ladies with the divinely appointed
mission and their work, would be quite
content to see pitched battles fought on
their public streets between the fair
forces of those who, on the one side, con-
slider themselves divinely appointed to
smash the saloons, and those who, on
the other, regard themselves as fighting
the noble battle of personal liberty 1t
would be insufferab,e And accordingly,
through their valiant lady allies, the
wicked saloon keepers may yet destroy
the hopes of Mrs. Nation and ker trends.
1t will be very interesting to observe
whether the Kansas saloon man shall
prove himself in the future of this cruel
war the tactician which there is warrant
for believing him to be, especially in
view of the later indications.

cattle OF THE AM.zoNs,

Mrs. Carrie Nation still holds the mid
die of the stage: although there are in
dications that her divinely appointed mis-
sion is not destined to end in speedy full
fllment. 1t is quite encouraging from the
standpoint of the anti-saloon element
that all sorts of devices have been re-
their property without having recourse
to prosecution Of their Nemesis. The
new patent sliding shutters which may
be easily run up for the protection of
the saloon plate glass when the irate
Mrs. Nation is in sight, and quickly re-
moved, so that trade may not be wholly
obliterated, when she sheers off, repre-
sent an outcome of the new crusade
which shows in pitiful way the help

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Bradstreet's re-
view tomorrow will say: Much irregu- ar
lily has been seen in the Cou.se of market
this week and speculation was uncertain
and variable in it's tendencies. On last
Saturday and Monday the chief inf1usnce
was the expected death Of Queen Vic
toria, which induced heavy selling in the
London market and caused foreign hold
ers to part with considerable amounts
of American securities This was sup
plementing the unsettled feeling of last
week about industTia's and the lieuida-
ton in tire railroad share list, led to
further concessions in prices and TO
decided reduction in the volume of cut
side participation in the market On
Tuesday, however, there was Il decided
rally in prices, due partly TO the feeling
that the death of the queen had been
fully perhaps, excessively, discounted at
London. The covering Of shorts was on
an extensive scale, though the steel
stocks were again subjected to certain
amount of pressure On the ensuing day
strength continued in the early trans-
actions, followed, however by renewed
selling, and finally by a rally, which
lasted until the end of the first hours
trading on Thursday. Dizziness, how
ever, supervened and the market hung
heavily until the afternoon when baarish
interests became more active and sue
ceeded in forcing down prices through
out the active list The opening on Fri
day was once more shown in varioua
parts of the list and short covering in
various directions also set in, resulting
in a moderate improvement and steady
close.

Modern empire building is a CONNER
cial enterprise. The ancient idea of SUBJ
jugation for the sake of glory has been
succeeded by the desire to subjugate for
the sake of profit
The United States is irrevocab'y COM
mitted to a policy of territorial expansion
for commercial gain. The spirit of the
Monroe doctrine no longer confines the
ambitions of the United States to the
Western continent. Taking the British
empire as a pattern, the republic of the
West is fairly launched upon the sea Of
commercial conquest.
What about this great prototype of
American expansion? The British en-
pire is modern business institution. It
is the result of evolution-the evolution
of great corporate enterprises into COM
mercial states subject to the promoting
power-a political trust
From the London and Plymouth COM
panies evolved the British possessions in
America. The Hudson Bay and North
western Fur companies were the advance
couriers of the Western members of the
Canadian federation. The East India
company paved the way for the empire
in India. The same commercial enter
prise gave to the crown Australia and
South Africa The British system Of
colonization is always governed By the
business demands Of the home authority.
When a colony becomes no longer profit
able to the mother country, there is
nothing to bind it to the empire but tie
glory Of the British name and the DO
lection of the British arm. Only twice
has the Briton stumbled in his empire
building. The first time was when he
determined to subjugate his American
colonies for the purpose of iEegitimate
revenue ana the second time was when
he listened to the African Uitlanders and
determined to subjugate the Peers. Po-
htical freedom coupled with commercial
preference has been the secret Of British
success in empire building
The United Provinces which now con-
stmte the British possessions in Aneri-
ca are of no benefit TO Eng and as a ma
ton. On the contrary they axe often the
source Of diplomatic wrangles and ad-
Ininistrative anxiety They are indie
pendent in feeling and in fact. Tradition
sentiment, and literature alone keep
them under the British flag
The unifcation Of the British PROVINCES
IN Australia, is the beginning of an indie
pendent nation of Englishmcn in the
Southeast.
The Australian commonwealth Is indie
pendent now, all but in name The con-
stitution adopted is modelled after that
of the United States with modern i'm
provements for which the Austral an
statesmen have been noted.
So complete is the poiiti. al separation
from the mother country, that not ev,n
an appeal lies from the courts of tie
commonwealth to the house of lords.
To what viii this lberal theory of en-.
pire building lead? VIII it lead to a Sc.
gregation of the component parts of tho
empire? That depends uron the policy
of the home government. So long as the
colonies are given the co.trai Of their ar
fairs without interference from the home
government so long vii ;ii.y retain the I

that the state has lost an honest, ca
pable and conscientious offlcial-an off,
cial in whom the people of the state, ir-
respective of party, recognized superior

ularity, but through the tr:ckery of the

HKADsrREEr,s REVIEW.
Trade Outlook Excellent, Despite
Setback of Unreasonable weather

NLW YORK, Jan 25.-Bsadstreets to-
morrow will say: Despite some ilregu-
larities in reports from different sections
and industries, trade as q whole is Of
satisfactory volume for this time of yea
Relatively the best reports come the
Pacific coast, the South ana the South
west, where spring demand is opening up
we'll. Unreasonable weather in some sec
tons, notably the East, has been a bar
to activity in retail trade, but taken as
a whole the trade situation has many
points of strength. The special activity
has been noted in some branches OF the
iron trade, and sentiment has been or
the whole helped by a clearer evidence Of
the possibilities contained in The recent
war talk" The quieting down Of tusi-
ness abroad naturally points to some
diIninlltion of our export trade in the
cruder forms of iron and steel, copper
and lumber. but for finished pro6ucts Of
these and other staples the outlook Il
declared to be still satisfactory. Specu-
