Foot and Mouth Disease.

An outbreak of the cattle disease
known as the foot and mouth disease
in certain sections of New England
has caused Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to declare quarantine
against the cattle of New England,
prohibiting their expectation to other
states. Great Britain has taken the
matter up and will not admit cattle
shipped from Boston. The state
authorities are instituting local quar-
antines wherever the disease is found.
1t is most prevalent in Massachusetts,.

1t is earnestly hoped that a secre-

with seat in the cabinet.
The creation of such department
would in itself be an advance toward
dealing with and exercising super
vision over the whole subject of the
great corporations doing an inter-
state business; and with this end in
view, the congress should endow the
department with large powers, which
could be increased as experience
might show the need.
I urge the adoption of reciprocity

gression from the United States. It
behooves each one to maintain order
within its own borders and to dis

from outside interference.
An all-American cable line be-
tween our Pacific coast and the
Chinese empire, by way of Honolulu
and the Philippine islands, is provid-
ed for, and is expected within a few
months to be ready for business.
Not only does each Filipino enjoy
such rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness as he has never
before known during the recorded
history of the islands, but the people
taken as whole now enjoy a meas
ure of government greater than
that granted to any other orientals
by any foreign power and greater
than that enjoyed by any other orr
entails under their own governments,
save the Japanese alone.
Taking the work of the army and
the civil authorities together, it may
be questioned whether anywhere else
in modern times the world has seen
better example of real constructive
craftsmanship than our people have
given in the Philippine Islands.
I urgently call your attention to
the need of passing bill providing

1t is of great Importance that the
relation of the national guard to the

The Monroe doctrine should be
treated as the cardinal feature of
American foreign policy; but 1T
would be worse than idle to assert it
unless we intended to back it up, and
it can be backed up only by thor
oughiy good navy.
We need a thousand additional
officers in order to properly man the
ships now provided for and under
construction. The Glasses at the
naval school at Annapolis should %
greatly enlarged.
There is not cloud on the horizon

foreign power. We most earnestly
hope that this state of things may
continue; aud the way to insure it's
continuance is to provide for a thor
