EXPANSIONS o. -Four Years.

Four years ago there was no or
gsnized popular sentiment in favor
OF an isthmian canal. In perfume
tory way nearly everyone assented to
general proposition that it would
be good thing to have channel
cut through the narrow strip Of land
between North and South America.
But who then thought of the canal
in it's broader character, as great
highway for the commerce of the
world.
Four years ago the idea of a tele-
graph cable across the Pacific was a
day-dream of science but night
mare CT capital. Today the cable is
an assured fact, with American enter
prise behind it, whether the govern
ment assumes the labor and expenses
of laying it or merely lends its en-
couragement to the undertaking in
private hands.
Four years ago avery movement to
build up an army and navy beyond
the merest skeleton was frowned
upon by peace-loyers everywhere.
Today we have a land force poten-

TALLY four times as large as the maxi
nun authorized for generation
after the civil war, whilst our arma-
nent on the sea has advanced pro-
portioaaIly.
Four years ago what meaning had
the word reciprocity" in American
ears? How the marvel grows then,
when we find President Mckinley,
the arch. champion of Protection and
the Home Market, uttering almost
with his dying lips, prayer for a
commerce based on the ideal of the
universal brotherhood of man!
The most remarkable fact in the
extension of the American outlook is
that it is so we'll balanced. 1t
stretches eastward through the new
relations formed between the United
States and the leading Powers OF
Europe. It stretches westward
through the new grasp our nation
has taken upon Asia. 1t stretches
northward through the revival OF
that fraternal feeling which always
underlies a common language and q
common law. It stretches south
wsrd through the reminder most
forcibly conveyed in the Treaty OF
Paris, that the Monroe Doctrine is
still living principle in American
diplomacy.

Cuban Postal Frauds.

Havana, Jan. 10.-The case Of the
Cuban postal frauds was resumed to-
day in the audiencia court, after hav-
ing been adjourned Tuesday last on
account of the illness of counsel for
Charles F. ". Neely. W. H. Reeves,
one of the defendants, was again
called TO the stand and testified re-
garding the stamp burning incident.
He said Che stamps were not counted,
and that Neely told him Estes G..
Rathbone acquiesced in the whole
matter.

According to Joe Wheeler.

General Joe Wheeler was In Cleve-
land. Ohio, recently in the interest OF
a new army rife. Incidentally he
stated that there was no danger OF q
break in the political condition OF the
South. White supremacy vas neces-
ssry for financial prosperity and sta
bility. These are but the views of
the holders of every shade Of politi-
cal belief in the South. But few per
sons in all the land would like to see
q reversal of. the order of existing
conditions and have the reign OF
black supremacy reinstated. Such a
state of affairs are contrary to the
laws of both God and man. They
are absolutely at variance with the
teachings of nature and being. .unnat-
ursa could not exist any length OF
time without an upheaval of society
and the disruption of the government.
The experiment has been tried once
too often already and has resulted in
such q shameful failure that it will
ever remain an eating, bleeding and
fostering sore upon our body poll
tie and such burning disgrace to
the Republican psrty, which is alone
responsible for the darkest pages in
American history, that it is not likely
80 repeat the folly had it the power
and desire, niether of which it now
has, to do so. These facts are recog-
nizsd by intelligent men everywhere,
and this cry of designing politicians
aad their henchmen of an effort to
again Africanize the South by the en-
thrcnement of the Republican party
through the disruption OF the Demo
cratic party by those who wish to see
the service of the government i'm
proved by the appointment of decent,
honest and compent officials, and the

principles, is unworthy OF credence
and 80 out of joint with the spirit
of the times that only those who
have ears and hear not and eyes and
see not the signs of coming events
will be fooled by such nonsense.

He Meant the Other Biped.

A man once received as a present
from sea captain fine specimen oi
the bird known as The "laughipe
jackass.' As he was carrying it
home be met brawny Irish navy,
who stopped him:
"Phwat kind of burrd is that, sir?'
asked the man.
"That's a laughing jackass," ez.
planned the owner, genially..
The Irishmap, thinking he was be,
ing made fun of, was equal to the
occasion, and responded, with a
twinkle in his eye:

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they can

ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
REMEDIES. Deafness is caused by sn
inaamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inAamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
ia the result, and unless the ipfam'
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Wants More Marriages.

DR.. Charles L. Kloss, Congrega-
tional minister of St. Louis, in an
interview suggested that woman
ought to take the initiative in propos-
ing marriage. He says he has 800
members and there we're only ten
marriages last year. He thinks wo-
men too timid and shy. Wherefore,
it may be inferred that DR.. Kloss has
a very imperfect knowledge of wo-
men and their ways.

delighted with the prompt relief
which they afford. For sale by ].
