harOus treatment. He was very hard
drinker and contributed very little
money to her support. When drunk he
would frequently beat and kick her, be-
sides calling her vile names. On one
occasion he lashed her numerically
with a horsewhip, she said, because she
refused to give him money, and it was
common occurrence for him to knock
her down. Her testimony was corrob-
GRATED by her mother, Mrs. Nellie Hall,

Gods workmen.

There is something grandly in,
spring in the truth that each day
and each hour has work for us
and that work not merely for ouI
own temporal pleasure and profit,
but for the building up of an eter-
nal fabric of righteousness and
peace. Il is true that God works
in us, and that We are moulded by
His will and wisdom. But it is al
SO true, and the main truth for us
because it demands faction on our
part. that every man has respon-
sibility to bear in the work of re-
generation, and every moments
deeds have share in the work. AS
we look backward, therefore, over
the year which has gone, can we
see anything which gives us a
clearer knowledge oflife? Can we
see anything that we have doneto
bring humanity or the world of
truth little higher.

The Oceanic Canal.
FaYette Erred Press

Fayette Free Press
Our junior Senator is manifest,
ing a real lively interest ~ the pro.
posed oceanic canal question, and
has introduced resolution in the
house of which he is member,
authorizing survey of the Darien
route. This is timely move, and
we most heartily commend Senator
Scott for his prudence in desiring
all the facts obtainable, in order
that he and the other members of
the two houses may havean intelli-
gent basis for supporting one of
the three proposed ways of passing
across the Isthmus by water from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
cost likely to attend the construc-
ton of canal by either the Nicar-
auga or Panama routes has been
fixed, as near as competent enigeers
can do it, The distance has been
calculated to the fraction of foot
the length of the time necessary
for the construction of each has
been fixsd, and the time acquired
for vessel to pass from ocean TO
ocean through either is known
Senator Scott, for himself aud 9th
ers who will be called upon to auth
orize the necessary expenditure for
the construction of the canal, very
properly wants the same statistics
concerning the Darien route, which
is already known to be the shortest
of the three. That the canal will
be built, and by the present gener.
alton of Americans is no longer a
matter of the least doubt. AllEu-
rope expects it. and it is duty to
ourselves, to future generations,
and to the world at large, to begin
and complete the great improve.

Manifest Destiny

The Senate Committee on For
eign Relations has agreed unani-
mously in favor of the treaty with
Denmark for the purchase of the
Danish West India Islands for S..
100000, and no doubt they will
soon be ours.
Thus another European power
will follow Spain in withdrawing
from our geographical system.
1t is manifest destiny that all the
West India Islands shall ultimate
ly either be under our flag. or self
governing republics bound to us by
treaties that will make them our
allies in case of war.
What neutrality means was ex-
emplified during the rebellion when
Nassau was the port of refuge and
headquarters of the blockade run.

to the Southern Confedracy we
could have captured them easily
but as they were the property OF
England we had to submir to a state
of things which cost us much in
blood and treasure. We dared moi

Britain.
The West India Islands ale the
outposts of the continent, and the
law of self. defense requires that
they shall be in American hands
or under American control.
Porto Rico, prosperous as an
American territory, and Cuba,
prosperous under our protection

voluntary annexation, will exercise
an irresistible pull upon the other
islands, which. though possessed
by European powers, depend chief.
