What dreadful time the children

On the happiest day OF the year.
For you he drives his reindeer team
All over our rocky land.
His nerve is steady, his eye is clear,
He belongs to our temperance band.
No danger of him getting ia mud hole,
Although the roads are 30 bad.
For over the bridges and eulvsfts he dies
And never complains Of his ride.s
But Santa Claus has to sometimes
I pass by
The home where whiskey is had,
And right on tho happiest day.of

Some little ones are so sal.
The saloon has robbed them of Christ.

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS

Study of the Federal Empire With Special al
Alpheus H. Snow. New York: G. P. Pitt
MANS Sons. Minneapolis: N.,McCarthy.
The author Of this book has made a
very careful study of the problems growing
out of the acquisition Of oversee territory
as the result of our war with Spain in tje-
half of Cuban independence. He has 'hn-
vestigated the subject Of the adminish'a
ton Of the American colonies back to 1884
and finds in the ordinance for the admin
istration of the Northwest Territory by
the American congress the expression OF
the true principles of the administration
OF dependencies as the fathers under
stood the subject.
From the investigation into the colo
NAL administrations of England and
France the author deduces the principles
which should govern the nations rela-
ttOnship to it's external dominions be-
ginning with the French administratio ton
Q600-17S7, and proceeding to the con-
sheraton of the English administra ton
up to the revolt Of the colonies in 1776,
their position ESQ far as it was attempted
to work out the rights of the people of
the colonies from the rights of the colo
MES as MEMBERSHIPS of the British en-
pire,) being considered by the author as
impregnable because the British empire
was a federal organism and the Amer
lean ultimatum Of 1774 was a call upon
Great Britain to recognize the British
empire as a, federal empire. p.
He considers the Franklin articles of
confederation in 1875 as containing pro-
visions establishing anl:An1erican empire
in which the American confederation was
the imperial state. He deduces from the
treaties with France in 1778 the purpose
of the American union to conquer all por
lions of the continent external to the
ion o,,l to S,,1~ 10
into the union. This purpose was an
nounced, indeed, in the instructions of
congress to the commissioners to the
French court in 1875. Congress held that
it was the English kings successor and
inherited only such power as the colonies
themselves acknowledged to have be-
1onged to the crown. And in 1887, the
federal constitution made the constitution
and laws of the United States the" su-
preme law of the land in the American
union, While they are only the basis of
the supreme law Of the land in the de-
tendencies of the: union; because the lat
ter are under an unWritten constitution
based on the constitution and laws of the
United States.
In the twenty-fourth chapter the au-
thor describes the European administra-
ton Of dependencies. and in the twenty
fifth; chapter the British administration
Is treated up to the present time. fol-
lowed by discussion Of American ad-
ministration, which is based the theory
that the governments power is limited
and conditional and essentially trust
to be performed by the state for the
benefit of it's dependent states which is
the theory, in these latter days, of Great
Britain. The author believes that this
nation can successfully administer gov
eminent to dependent states. but it will
not be done by ignoring the experience
of other nations The book will be found
the most interesting study on this sub
ject which has appeared.

A NEW COMPANY
VIII Drill for Oil and Gas In Fairfield,
Pickaway and Hooking Counties.

The western part of Fairfield,
the eastern part of Pickaway and
the western part Of Hooking coun-
ties are now experiencing the
pleasing excitement of gas and
oil boom. The Gill Gas and Oil
Company has been incorporated in
Arizona to do business in this state
and has already leased over 70, 900
acres of land in the section named.
The whole eastern half of Picka~
way county and adjoining portions
of Fairfield and Hooking have been
leased on what is known as the
Standard Oil and Gas lease which
calls for 5000 to be paid to the
party owning: the land for each
well that is a paying producer,
and also reads that the owner re-
ceives one-eighth of all oil or other
minerals taken from the ground.
1t has been known for years that
there are good indications of gas
and oil in the eastern part of
Pickaway county and it remains
for the enterprising incorporators
to go ahead and push the work.
Oil of good quality has been found
at Bloomingville Hooking county,
and other big companies like the
Standard, Lima and the Buckeye
Gas company will be interested
spectators in the new field to watch
the development and operation in
this new territory.
The offices of the company are
located at Circleville.

Cape Colony a Menace.

Paris, June 3.-The question of the
establishment of the constitution in
Cape Colony, according to The Temps,
offers a menacing dilemma. If self
government is suppressed, South Az
rica will be thrown into a struggle
infinitely more dangerous for British
supremacy than was the war Just
ended. The re-establishment of the
constitution means surrender into the
hands of the Afrikanders. The Jour.
nal Des Debats, alluding to Lord
Kitchener's expression surrender"
says in reality, if the Beers accepted
England's conditions, it is because the
latter only advanced such conditions
the Beers declared they were ready to
accept. The interesting question now
is whether the imperialist spirit en-.
gendered by the war will survive or
disappear with the conclusion of
peace.
