Congressman jenkins has been
looking up the history of the Demo
cratic party with especial reference
to its record upon the policy of ex-
pansion. He finds that it was the
uniform policy of the statesmen of
that party from Jefferson to Buchan-
an to advocate getting all the terri
tory possible and holding all we
could get. The position of the par
ty on this question in the present
emergency is anomalous and incon-
sistent. A party is in desperate cir
cumstances and hard pushed for an
issue when it must place itself in OPP
position to its own traditions.

The Man with a Cough.

When the present prime minister of England frequented the golf links at North Berwick good deal more than he does now, his caddie was usually an elderly man who was ono of the noted characters of the vicin- ity. One day MT. Balfour was being followed over the course by small gallery" of admirers among whom was man with hacking cough. This afflicted individual always coughed at the critical moment. just when the player was making diff cult shot. MT. Balfour showed evi- dent signs of nervousness, while the irritation of his caddie became grad ually more and more pronounced. Finally the man with the cough tres passed upon the caddie's patience once too often. MT. Balfour was on the point of making a long put, but his attendant stopped him, and. ap- preaching the group of spectators. asked with studied politeness as he pointed to the offender: ssCan any O you gentlemen obleege this man wi a juiuBe?''

 nations.

Hartford, Oct 2O-The United States government is having difficulty in finding applicants for certain va> cant positions. Some weeks ago no- tice was given of examinations to be held on October 21 for department as- sistant in the Philippine service, but because of the small number who filed applications to take the examination, it has been postponed to December 9. The position pays $1 POO to $1, 400 a year, and circular issued by the gov ernment says that appointments to the service will be made from those who -are qualified in bookkeeping. chemis- try, civil engineering, electrical en- gineering, agriculture, finance and the Spanish language. The circular says:
 ssThis examination offers an excellent opportunity to enter a service which has many attractive features and to see most interesting part of the world. The Philippine service is classified. and the law contemplates promotions on the basis of merit from the lowest to the highest positions. Thirty days leave of absence is grant ed each year exclusive of Sundays and holidays, and those employees who are promoted to $1,S00 per annum are en- titled to thirty-five days, or about forty days including Sundays and holidays. Leave is also cumulative, and at the end of three years those who have to their credit cumulative leave for two years may visit the United States with out having the time in going to and re- turning from San Francisco charged against their leave China and Japan are near at hand and are favorite places to visit during vacations. Sat urday is a half holiday"
 A male draftsman is wanted in the engineering department at New York at a salary of $1,4O0 a year, and ex- aminations will be held on December 9 and 10.

 at Vailsburg.

at Vailsburg.
 Mcfarland and Lawson won the mile heat race at the Vailsburg cycle track in Newark yesterday from Fenn and Collett and Kimble and Kramer Lawson won the first heat from Kra- mer in the third heat by wheel. Col lett won the second heat. The judging did not meet with the approval of the spectators. Ellington had apparently defeated Root in the open amateur event, and Lawson led Kramer for sec Ond in the second heat of the match race, but the judges said no. The an- nual employees race was announced as a "one mile trouble race" and earned it's title through three false starts. Kimble started the sprint in the first heat of the match race while Kramer was in a pocket. Mcfarland, fol- lowed by Lawson, went after the Ken tuckian and passed him on the last turn. Lawson went to the front in the homestretch. He defeated Kramer (who came from the rear with a rush. by a length. Collett jumped in the first lap of the second heat and kent his lead, winning by the length of the stretch. Lawson and Kramer had a warm argument for second. and the Jerseyman lost by half wheel. The judges thought otherwise, and when their decision was announced the crowd hooted it for half an hour. Col- lett made desperate effort in the third heat. but was overhauled by McFar- land and Kramer near the tape. Me- Farland swerved into Lawson, but straightened up and defeated Kramer hv half wheel. Ellington came through on the pole in the five mile oDen amateur and clearly defeated Root but the judges awarded the race to the BostonIan amid the groaps of
