We do not consider that the
erection Of a statue to Washington

not the erection OF statue that
make for amity, as is easily seen in
the case of Venezuela, in whose
capital statue of Washington
stands prominent, but does not in
cline the hearts OF the people to
iriendliness with the Yankee, nor
inspire to peaceful, orderly govern-
nent. If the English people feel
that statue Of Washington would
do them good, by all means let
them erect il; but it is matter OF
complete indifference to this coun-
try whether they do so or not. A
statue of Washington might be
erected at Berlin or St. Petersburg,
and perhaps would be if our gov>
ernment asked it, but it is incon-
ceivable that it would be considers
ed as lesson in amity or that the
Germans or Russians considered
Washington's example good TO

but to imagine that Americans
want them to have it, or that they
would be won to closer ties on ac-
count OF its construction, is folly

ANOTHER TRAITOR" SPEAKS

The Salt Lake Herald says that
newspapers with imperialistic tens
denotes will find another traitor
in the person of Stephen Bonsal,
the well.known war correspondent.
Mr.. Bonsal has recently returned
from the Philippines, whittier he
was sent by the New York Herald
to make thorough and impartial
investigation Of conditions through
out the archipelago. He comes
back convinced that the end of hos,
tilities is a, far distant as ever.
Commenting on Governor Taft's
work there, Mr.. Bomsal writes:
"The flaw in the whole construc
ton is that the civil government
edifice is built upon the quicksand
of sedition and treason. No matter
no v clevcrly he may build. the
whole structure will be overturned
some day, and not the day of our
choosing. the Flipinos are solid
ly against American supremacy in
any shape or form. If we do not
wish to govern them rigidly and
by force for ten or twenty or thirty
years, we had better hit upon a
scheme to ;scuttle,' saving appears
ances as much as possible"
Mr.. Bonsal is perhaps more poi.
ished terms, but none the less fore.
IDLY, proposes, as did United
States senator the other day, to
"let the Philippines go to the devil
and take care of themselves SO far
as this government is concerned"
That sentiment is growing more
and more pronounced daily. The
American people are gradually but
surely waking up to the fact that
the nation has no business attempts
ing to govern unwilling colonists.
There is plenty Of room under the
flag for all the nations of the earth
if they come willingly and with a
determination to accept American
manners and customs as their own.
We have no room, however, for
colonists who require one soldier
t. each to see that no seditious
plots are laid against the nation.

Taft, Mr.. Bonsal says: How Gov

Noted Woman Suffraeists.

Even if the women could only sit
mp in the gallery and watch the men
eat at the great Chamber of Com
merce banquet in the Waldorf, they
could console themselves with the
thought that there were some pretty
good woman suffragists among the dis
tinguished guests. President Roose-
welt, as is well known, has expressed
himself favorably, and the same is
true of Senator Depew. Sir Albert
Rollit. chairman of the delegation
from the London Chamber of Com
merce, had charge of the women's
franchise bill in the House of Com
mons in 1892, and made a powerful
fight for it. the vote standing 175 yeas
to 1872 nays. Mr.. Faithful Begg. anoth-
er delegate from London, has had the
management of the bill during various
parliamentary sessions for the past
eight or ten years. These prove mere
ly that a belief in the right of women
to the suffrage is not confined wholly
to visionary and irresponsible radicals.

Science Of Watering Plants.

With consignment of Seeding ever
green's which l received few days ago
was enclosed this order: Don't. under
every two weeks but when watering
soak thoroughly" After studying and
testing this advice found 1t to embody
the correct principle. A little water
placed each evening on aplant will soon
evaporate, the surface becomes baked,
the fine roots hunt the surface and the
plant is injured instead of benefited.
By the soaking method the ground must
necessarily be well cultivated to catch
the water readily; the moisture pene-
trates the soil, drowning the fibrous
roots downward, and the results re-
semble those caused by a good rain. 1t
is In harmony with successful irriga-
ton in the West. There will be more
gained by thoroughly soaking the
ground around single tree or plant
each evening than giving a hundred
the customary pint. My Seeding ever
greens were soaked to plow depth and
as soon as the surface was dry enough
worked into dust mulch. Each morn
ing Tor a week the surface looked as il
1t had received good shower. al.
though we scarcely had dew. The
growth of the trees attested the cor.
rectness of the plan. A few plants pos
sibly might be found that would no
thrive under this treatment, but they
would certainly be the exception ant
not the average.-W. A. Ballenger il

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving sccretions of the body into
scading fluids. which destroy and infame
every part they come in contact with. Ap-
plications to the places affected by catarrh
can do little good save to soothe or quiet
disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that
garges, sprays atomizers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief. So long as
the irritating secretons of catarrh continue
to be formed so long will the membranes
continue to be infamed, no matter what
treatment is used
