Rochester IN. Y. Post-Ex-
press: That the Spanish war
brought about some kind of
change in the United States
appears to be the general opin-
ion in Europe. Upon landing
in New York, Cardinal Gibbons
said: "America is looked upon
by all as the great nation. 1t
is entirely different now from
what it was before the war
with Spain. Then they were
inclined to look upon us as half
savages but now they place
Americans in the forefront of
civilization. They are sur
prised at u.s." ne added with a
smile, "and [ think they are a
little afraid of u.s." At the
time these were uttered the
London Times was distribut-
ing throughout the United
Kingdom an article that con-
tains a similar view. In
study of the United States, the
writer undertakes to explain
the increased energy that he
finds among the Americans.
He says that it is due ito the
renewed national spirit and the
increased responsibilities re-
sulting from the Spanish
American war" While we are
disposed to think that this 5ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat fancifu1,
we recommend it to the consid-
Grafton of those who assert that
a period of decadepce set in
with the war with Spain

4 Sioux Falls paper tells this
story of righteous Halloween
retribution:
There has been some sur
prise expressed that the road
cart which was placed on top
of the high school Halloween
night was allowed To remain
there so long, but there was a
GOOD reason for it. The school
authorities have been working
quietly and found out what
bows were in the party who
put the cart on the school
house, and the same boys must
have received a strong hint to
take it down. About midnight
Tuesday night some one pass
ING the school house heard a
number of boys taking down
the cart. For some reason
they did not seem cheerful
about the job and many ex-
carnations of disgust and NUT
tered imprecations were heard.
It is an interesting question
why it was not as much fun
taking down the cart as put
ting it up.

J. ]. Hill says that the north
western railroads do not OPP
pose the isthmian canal. To
be sure he doesn't say it very
cheerfully, but at the end Of his
remarks on the subject he
shows that he is beginning to
get the right view, for he says:
CAS- fact, we look upon it as
something which will increase
the business with the Pacific
ocean, and the railroads will
profit by it." That is the stu
alton exactly. The railroads
that have for years been spend
ing money to prevent the
building of fhe canal might
just as well have burned it
yes, better. They have done
nothing but delay work that
will increase their own profits.
They have not been wise
enough to understand that ev-
cry ton of bulky freight carried
from coast to coast by ships
will make better paying freight
for the transcontinental rail
ways. Minneapolis Journal.

States waited for the Colum BIZ
an Congress to act on an 18TH
milan canal treaty that had been
laboriously framed in the diplo7
matte departments OF the two
countries. The Unite States,
for it's part, advanced the treaty
fully and positively, but when
it reached the Colombian Con-
gress the whole subject became
involved in doubt and mystery.
No one has ever been able to
tell exactly what Columbia
wanted. Though large pay
ments, partly in the form OF a
perpetual annuity, were ten
dered by this country, Column
'bia haggled in an indefinite
fashion about territorial points.
Never has it been specific as to
terms. After the time for
making the treaty lapsed,
Columbia talked of larger pay
ments and more binding
territorial restrictions, but with
out precisely stating it's wishes
in either respect. One of it's
latest moves was to question
the binding force of the Monroe
doctrine in relation to Euro
pean bids for building the canal.
1t was absolutely clear that
Columbia would not come to
the point. It proposed to eat
it's cake and have it, and to
temporize endlessly in black
mailing fashion.
The people of the state of
Panama want the canal. They
are unanimous for it. In a land
of revolutions they have en-
gagged in one on their own
account. Events of that kind
are always sudden, but the
cause of the Panama revolt
has been running a long time,
Charged with the protection of
the isthmian railway route and
it's seaport terminals, the Unit
ed States has landed marines
and posted naval vessels near

occasions. Ofcourse, this gov
eminent acted promptly. It's
course prevented bloodshed

Of the best solution for all con-
cerned. The istllmian canal
has been under consideration
for over half century, At
tempts to treat with Columbia
have been going on for years.
The United States has no
occasion whatever to fight
Columbia's battles. Columbia
has had its opportunity and
thrown it away in greedy mis-
chief-making fashion, 1t is an
impracticable that always

The unexpected has again
happened. A French duel has
proved fatal to one of the com
batants. It took place in a gar
den of a cafe on the banks of
the Seine. Swords were used.
Both men were In deadly earn
est. One of them got reckless.
He got too close to his advef-
sary. His adversary was just
as close to him. That was
when the trouble occurred.
Before either could back UP
out of danger there was a
fierce thrust. The sword went
straight to it's task and pene-
trated the side of the victim
eight inches. Then he died.
The situation in Paris is some
thing awful. A precedent has
been established with which
the authorities seem powerless
to deal. No arrests have been
made. The surviving princi-
pal and the seconds are actual
ly too badly paralyzed to flee
from the possible consequent
ces. All France stands aghast
at the imminent overthrow of
one Of its most cherished insti-
tutions. For If the French
duel becomes deadly it must
be abolished. w h clocks

propose to leave nothing undOne to

The CRIME OF The AGE
Horrible State Of Affairs in the philippines
-Reconcentrndo Camps Still In Ex-
istence-People Starving

Honest and honorable men every
where must make an effort to spread
the circulation of the few papers in the
United States that are willing to tell
the truth and print the news. Ii they
do not the day will come when they
will regret it. Those who read only
the daily papers honestly believe that
war has ceased in the Philippines ana
the people are contentedly living In
their homes pursuing the occupations
to which they have been accustomed.
But the war has not ceased and those
horrible reconcentrado camps are still
in existence Those people have no
rights which the invading force is
bound to respect and their condition is
a. horrible as thu. of any people in all
history. The imperialists in this coun-
try have managed to keep the people
here at home in total ignorane, OF the
conditions there. The prosperous
farmer, the business man, the profess
sional classes in this country know
nothing about how thousands Of limo
cent men, women and children are suf-
fering and dying in the horrible recon
centrado camps. Ii they did they
would stop it. The only way to learn
the truth is by watching with the
closest attention everything that

The Legislature Of Tennessee de-
clined to make an appropriation
for a state fair, but bill is to be
offered providing for an appro
priation to be distributed among
the different counties in the state
for county agricultural fairs.
This would benefit the people all
over the state, whereas state fair
would be only advantageous to the
people of Nashville and Middle
Tennessee. An appropriation for
county agricultural exhibits is
worthy of much consideration,
and If the state is able to afford it
there is every reason why it
should be made.

PASSING OF THE SALOONS.

The saloons closed quietly Tues
day night, accompanied with no
demonstration or incident to show
that anything unusal was happen
ing. Most of the proprietors had
taken advantage of the time inter
vening and sold about all OF their
stock. Wednesday morning every
saloon in town was closed, includ
ing those owned by the two gentle
men who had taken out license
before the Adams bill became a law,
For the first time in the history
of Union City it is prohibition
town; victory achieved by long,
patient and persistent work OF
the temperance people of the state,
the foundation of which was laid
nearly twenty years ago. we
presume there is no man, whether
friend or foe, politically, who is
not willing to concede the fact that
John II. Mcdowell is author OF
the sentiment of prohibition in
Tennessee. In 1884 and 1886 he
was elected to the Legislature OF
Tennessee in the hottest political
fights ever known in this county,
carrying the battle into the Legls-
lature against the saloons and
gambling, finally securing in 1887
the passage of an act providing
for a popular election to deter
mine the will of the people as to
whether or not Tennessee should
be a prohibition state. Prohi-
bition failed by small majority,
but the temperance people con-
tinued the fight with the result
that there are only eight or ten
towns and cities in the state which
have open saloons to day. The
Peeler bill closed nearly all the
saloons in towns of 1000 and un-
der and the Adams law now car
ries prohibition into towns OF
5000, nearly all Of which were
closed last Tuesday. There was
practically no fight made in this
county. All of the candidates last
year for the Legislature were pro
nounced prohibitionists, and the
work which followed carried with
it very little or no opposition
