No country has ever occupied hl'9hei

is due to no sudden or accidental causes
but to the play of the economic FORCES

The canal will be of great benefit to
America, and Of Importance to all the
world. 1t will be of advantage to us In In
dustriaIly and also as improving our mill
tary position. 1t will be of advantage TO
the countries of tropical America It IS
earnestly to be hoped that all OF these

A Pacific Cable.
During the fall of 1901 a communication
was addressed to the SECRETARY OF State,
asking whether permission would be grant
ed by the President to a corporation to lay
a cable from point on the California coast
to the Philippine Islnds by way of Hawaii.
A statement of conditions or terms upon
which such corporation would undertake
to lay and operate cable was volunteered.
The Congress adjourned without taking any
action, leaving the matter In exactly inc
same condition in which 1t stood when the
Congress convened.
Meanwhile the Commercial Pacific Cable
Company had proceeded with preparations
for laying it's cable. 1t also made appllca-
ton to the President for access to and use
Of soundings taken. by the United states
steamer Nero, for the purpose of discover
ing a practicable route for trans, Paclhc
cable Pending consideration of this sub
ject, it appeared important and desirable TO
attach certain conditions to the PERMISSION
to examine and use the soundings, II II
should be granted. These conditions pre-
scribed among other things, a maximum
rate for commercial messages and that the
| company should construct a line from the
Philippine Islands to China, there being
| at present, as is we'll known, British line
from Manila to Hong Kong.
The representatives Of the cable company
have, however at length acceded to these
| conditions, and an all-American line be.
! tween our Pacific coast and the Cninese
empire by way of Honolulu and the Philip
pine Islands is thus provided, for and is
expected within a few months to be ready
| for business.
Porto Rico Is Prosperous.
| OF Porto Rico it is only necessary to say
| that the prosperity of the island and the
wisdom with which it has been governed
have been such as to make 1t serve as al
! example of all that is best In 1nsular ad

the ground that Cuba must hereafter have
closer political relations with us than with
any other power. Thus in a sense Cuba
has become a part of our international no.
litical system. This makes it necessary
that in return she should be given some Of
the benefits of becoming part Of our eco
nomic system. 1t Is, from our own stand
point, short-sighted and mischievous poll
CIV to fall to recognize this need.
We should always fearlessly insist upon
our rights in the face of the strong, and
generous duty by the weak. l urge the
adoption of reciprocity with Cuba not only
because 1t is eminently for our own inter-
ests to control the Cuban market and bv
every means to foster our supremacy in
the tropical lands and waters south Of MS.
but also because we, of the giant republic
Of the north, should make all our sister ma
lions of the American continent feel that
whenever they will permit it we desire to
show ourselves disinterestedly and effect

concluded, which will be at once laid be-
fore the Senate for ratification, providing
Tor reciprocal trade arrangements between
the United States and Newfoundland on
substantially the lines Of the convention
formerly negotiated by the Secretary of
State, Mr.. Blaine. / believe reciprocal trade
relations Will be greatly to the advantage
Of both countries.
The Hague Tribunal.
Wherever possible, arbitration or some
similar method should be employed In lieu
of war to settle difficulties between civil
lied nations, although as yet the world has
not progressed sufficiently to render it pos
sible, or necessarily desirable, to invoke
arbitration In every case The formation
of the international tribunal which sits at
The Hague is an event of good omen from
which great consequences for the welfare
of all mankind may flow.
1t is matter Of sincere congratulation to
our country that the United States and
Mexico should have been the first to use
the good offices of The Hague court. This
was done last summer with most satisfac-
tory results in the case of claim at Issue
between us and our sister republic.

POSTAL REVENUES INCREASE.

of Free Rural Mail Delivery.

Business Activity the Cause-Progress
of Free Rural Mail Delivery.
The striking increase In the revenues Of
the postoffice department shows clearly the
prosperity of our people and the increasing
activity Of the business of the country.
The receipts of the postoftice department
for the fiscal year ending June 80 last
amounted to $121, S4S,047.26, an increase Of
$40, ZIG, S53.S7 over the preceding year, the
largest increase known in the history Of the
postal service. The magnitude Of this in
crease will best appear from the fact that
the entire postal receipts for the year 1860
amounted to but So, 51S, O67.
Rural free delivery service Is no longer
in the experimental stage; 1t has become
fixed policy. The results following its in
PRODUCTION have fully justified the Congress
In the large appropriations made for it's
establishment and extension. The average
yearly increase In postoffice receipts in the
rural districts of the country Is about
per cent. We are now able, by actual re-
Suits to show that where rural free deliver
suits, to show that where rural free deliv-
cry service has been established to such an
extent as to enable US to make compari-
sons the yearly increase has been upward

cry routes had been established and were

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL
Will Be the Greatest Engineering Feat
Yet Accomplished

Yet Accomplished,
The Congress has wisely provided that we
shall build at once an isthnlian canal. IL
possible at Panama. The Attorney General
reports that we can undoubtedly acquire
good title from the French Panama Canal
Company. Negotiations are now pending
with Colombia to secure her assent to our
building the canal. This canal will be one
OF the greatest engineering feats Of the
twentieth century; a greater engineering
feat than has yet been accomplished dur
Ing the history of mankind. The work
sh0uld be carried out as continuing policy
without regard to change of administration:
and 1t should be begun under circum-
stances which will make it matter of
pride for all administrations to continue
the pestcy.

New Years address last midnight at

"The Breyity OF Time and our Respon-
sibility for It." and the text was Lord,
make me TO know mine end. and the
measure OF my days, what II Is, that

The speaker used as an illustration
the fact that on the lofty tower In
Winchester cathedral, England are two
great sun dlals which mark the fight Of
time and on each q single word Is In
scribed "Praerereunt imputantur"
That Is 10 say, The hours flee; they are
reckoned against us. These are indeed
the two great solemn facts regarding
time Il fees and II Is reckoned up
against us. These same facts are ex-
pressed by the psalmlst In this prayer.
'I4et US know the number the measure
OF my days, how brief and ileeting they
are," also, 'eThat may be certified how
