UNION WITH AMERICA.
A London Paper Discusses the Propo-
sitiOn.

LONDON, December 25-The Daily
News this morning in an editorial dis
cussing Stead's pamphlet on the Am
erican Lion of the World" admits that
Mr.. Gladstone's prophecy that the
United States would replace Great Bri-
tain as the premier nation has been,
on the whole, realized, but it declares
il to be utterly impossible that Great
Britain, as Mr.. Stead extravagantly eX-
presses, should enter an American
union, except after a series of disas-
ters rendering separate existence inn
possible. The paper considers any
kind of an Anglo-American federation
equally unlikely, owing to the Briton's
Unsuitable love of caste which led Cob
den to insist that the English were de-
mOcrats. For the rest it confesses the
enormous influence which the United
States Yields over British colonies and
that majority of Irishmen would vote
for federation with the United States.
The article further says it would be
interesting to see what must happen If
the United States should drop it's pro-
tectiOnist policy and should offer to ia
maica, India or even Australia the inn
mense bride of admission on reciprocal
terms to their vast, ever extending
markets,

RICE CULTURE ASSURED.

Rice culture is regarded as no longer
an experiment in southwest Louisiana
and southeast Texas. Although all re-
cords for drought and heat in those
sections have been broken this season,
more than an average crop of rice has
been saved by irrigating systems. Tbs
average yield an acre has been increas-
ed the average quality has been great
ly improved and new varieties have
been developed. lice lands in Texas
two years ago were selling slowly at
So to SIS. Today such land is selling
much faster at 500 and $50 per acre, and
immigration to the rice belt is quite
active.

that If the y-Pauncefote treaty is
ratified the governments of COsto Rica
and Nicaragua will require the United
States to secure guarantees of neutral
ity from other powers than Great Brit
ain before making a treaty ceding the
route of the canal. This Senator says
that the pending treaty win be ratified
without doubt even though there is dis
satisfaction over its ambiguity in re-
gard to Notifications. The earnest de-
sire to hasten canal construction is
stronger than the objections to the
