Both Wrong.

The Manchester, Va, Chronicle asks the
Baltimore Sun whether certain school his
tory is right in denominating Mckinley the
25th President of the United States or the
Sun Almanac in naming him the oath. The
Sun says the Almanac is correct, as it counts
the term and not the man, and all Presidents
who have filed the Office twice are counted as
one We belive the Almanac is wrong. Mr..
Cleveland, according to the usual manner of
counting, was the 22d President. He served
one term and was succeeded by Harrison.
Harrison was therefore the 23d President,
and Mr.. Cleveland following him was the oath.
The fact is the term ought to be counted.
When President succeeds himself he takes
the Office anew and there is all the form, cer-
emony and parade as though he were being
indicted to Office for the first time. Wash
ington was the first and second President,
Adams the third, Jefferson the fourth and
fifth, Madison the sixth and seventh, and so
on. In fact Cleveland was the twenty ninth
and thirty-f President, and Mckinley the
thirty y-second and thirty third, while Roose-
welt comes in as the thirty fourth.

Go Further.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals have bill before the Legislature
to prevent the docking of horses and tight
checking. The bill is all right as far as it
goes. 1t should prevent working horses more
than eight hours day. Eight hours have
been fixed by the general government as the
limit men may be required to work, and States
and municipalities have similar limit. The
government allows employees thirty days leave,
with pay, and municipalities have half day
holiday every Saturday. A horse should not
be required to work longer than man.
Then, too, the law should require owners of
horses to have hoods made for them to protect
their heads from the suns scorching rays in
summer, and to have their legs encased in
overals or pants and their bodies covered to
protect them from flies. Flies are very an
moving to horses in summer. And the patient

Bargaining for More Islands.

The United States has concluded negotia-
tions for the purchase of the Danish West In
dies Islands st. Thomas, st. John and Santa
Cruz-three little islands lying thirty to forty
miles to the East of Porto Rico. The pur-
chase price is said to be four millions of dol
lars. Before the sale is eonsummated the
people of Denmark must ratify the agreement
and the United States Senate must do like
wise. Then Congress will have to vote the
necessary funds for the purchase. Should the
scheme be finally accomplished then would
follow carpet-bag governments for the islands
and arrangements of tariff schedules, with
perhaps long wrangle over rates, and mill
tary garrisons would have to be established
on each island to sustain civil authority.
The object in seeking possession of the is
lands is for purely defensive purposes. The
building of an isthmian canal, it is thought,
requires the possession of these islands as
commanding the entrance to the Caribbean
Sea and the protection of the Canal. As
these islands are six to seven hundred miles
from Panama, it is difficult to see the benefit
their ownership would be, especially as there
are numerous entrances to the Caribbean Sea
miles away from them One has an excel
lent harbor, it is true, but so has Porto Rico,
and coaling could be done at the latter place
as well as at st. Thomas. We can see no use
for the acquisition of the islands. We have
more island possessions now than is good for
US. They are useless as to revenue, and ex-
pensive to hold, besides bothersome to Con-
gress, which has more domestic matters to
consider than are given wise attention. No
country so far has prospered by holding other
lands. Such policy ruined Spain and is
weakening England. The United States is
feeling the drain, and the burden will increase
rather than lessen. 1t may be many years,
but the time will come when the people will
regret the day the United States laid aside
the policy of isolation for that of minging in
the politics of the world; for laying aside the
Declaration of Independence and annuling the
Monroe doctrine, and for maintaining vast
military and naval establishments. To be
mistress of the seas, to have the drum, beat
encircle the earth, and the flag floating every
where may be enticing, but it is also danger.

Too Much Love of Liberty Now.

The House Committee of Congress on In

vorable on bill providing for government
cable from San Francisco via Hawaii to the
Philippines. The cost is not to exceed ten
millions of dollars. The manager of the

he cites many reasons why the government
should build and control the line. Among
these Mr.. Corliss says-'fH we are to civilize,
educate and Americanize the Filipinos they
must be brought in close touch with the
American spirit of liberty through rapid and
reasonable communication" The trouble
the United States has found is too much love of
liberty among the Elipinos. For three years
a naval and military force of from forty to
sixty thousand men have been trying to sub
due the Filipino spirit of liberty, and if the
cable will do what Mr.. Corliss contends, the
army will have to be increased in the proper
ton that the spirit of liberty grows.
