THE DOMINICAN WARNING.

The American Minister'S warning to the Do
minican revolutionists was timely, and should
be needed. There can be no question that
these periodical revolutions greatly discredit
that country. They do SO practically and ma
teriaIly, as well as morally, for they increase
its debts and at the same time decrease its
paying power They PROSTATE its commerce
and incur for it the reprobation and distrust Of
other nations. All that is so obvious that even
the most unthinking revolutiOnist must see and
understand it.
But Mr.. Powell went further than that He
told the Dominicans that their revolutions en-
dangered the peace of the United States and
other nations, and might, therefore, if con-
tinued, imperil the sovereignty OF Dominica
itself That was a perfectly iustifabIe warn
ing. We may hope the implication In it may
never have TO be executed. But we must re-
member what has been the long established
policy Of the United States. and what is its
privilege and its duty, too, under the "immuta-
BILE law of self-defence." Eighty-five years ago
the United States grew weary Of being inces-
sanity harassed by disturbances in Florida, and
therefore marched into that Spanish province
to restore and maintain the order that Spain
either would not or could not guarantee. Six
years ago or less ii grew weary of anarchy in
Cuba, and accordingly invaded that island for
lne EeslOFdIOH OF peace anu lue eStaDllSHlneHl
OF government In these things it did we'll
We should greatly regret necessity for like
action In the island Of San Domingo But it
WIFI be profitable for both Dominicans and Hay
dans TO recall some facts Of history and to con-
slider whether it is prudent much longer to pre-
sumo upon the patience and forbearance of the
United States. 1t is q serious material griev-
ance TO this country to be compelled TO go 10
naval and other expense on account of these
revolutions, to have its commerce interrupted
and the property Of its citizens destroyed and
their lives imperilled. 1t is moral grievance
TO have maintained. almost within sight of our
shores, a state of affairs that would be discred-
liable TO the Cannibal Islands. The United
States is not hermit nation. 1t cannot regard
with indifference the doings of its neighbors.
The same just and righteous sentiment that
calls upon Europe to put stop TO chronic out
rage and massacre In the Balkan also calls for
the stopping by some means Of the chronic dis
turbances in San Domingo. 1t VIII be well for
the people Of that island II they will heed the
warning and will mend their governmental

MTNISTERTNG ANGELS.

From St Petersburg comes the amazing
gossip that the Minister of War has decided to
allow women students to attend the military
medical schools, with the purpose of preparing
themselves for work as physicians and surgeons
in the army.
Does not that suggestion appear to be alto
gether Incredible? Russia has been supposed to
be ultra-conservative in such matters. With
doctors of the fair and gentle sex taking care
OF the rude warriors of the Gar when pain and
anguish afilict them, and proving themselves
true ministering angels. the horrors Of battle
fields must be mitigated.

Wabash County Ill., owned drove OF fifty fine
FLOODED hogs He turned them loose last spring in
a pasture to shift for themselves. They had to be
called back only for meals. and the farmer
was a weak voiced man. he hit upon the plan Of
rounding with his stick board. The sound this
produced meant corn to the porcine intelligence
In the autumn they turned into a grove fulI
of dead trees in which the woodpeckers found a
happy hunting ground. No sooner were the hogs
left by themselves than "rap-rap-rap' sounded
from the further side of the Enclosure. Off they
scampered to the promised banquet. "Tap-tap-tap
were half across. "R-r-r-rap' came from an m
