The Home Savings Bans.

The Home Savings Bank open
ed its doors to the public last
Monday with that genial gentle
man Mr.. ]. E. Turner at the
window.
From what we can learn the
opening day was quite a success
and it was most interesting to
see the little tots opening their
first bank account. We com
mend the system of Savings Bank
in that they are educators and
help to start the young on the
right road against a rainy day.

Army omcers Anxious 70 AssIst.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE news OF
the movement OF marines southwark
from Panama, based as II was on the
reported landing of Colombian troops
in that part OF the isthmus, was re-
ceived with keen interest in army cir
cles. where there has been exhibited
for some time a desire TO participate
with the navy in any military move
ments on the Isthmus. The general
stan gave the subject immediate at
tention. There was. however, no out

frming the previous statements TO the
effect that the army is making ready
20 do IT'S share at a moments notice.

There are strong reasons TO doubt
the truth OF the report that Colon
bian troops have landed on Isthmus
territory. All previous reports TO gov
eminent officials have indicated that
no Colombian troops either have been
landed or will be landed until after
the result OF General Reyes mission
10 Washington is known. General
Reyes stated that he had given his
pledge TO that effect to the state de-
partment. His counsel TO the Colon
bians TO abstain from hostile acts until
he has ended his work in Washington
Is well known.
Rear Admiral Coghlan cables that
the Mayfower has learned that two
Colombian gunboats, with troops
aboard, are lodging along the Colon
bian coast near the Panama line. but
cannot learn that they landed men.
Coghlan's cruisers are still searching
for traces OF the party.

ORR Possessions.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is
iubilant over the extension OF our
possessions and influence; and yet II
what it maps out is realized, we
have just entered upon ourgreatness.
It SAYS by the law OF political grayi-
tation, practically the whole OF the
territory through the Gull OF Mexi-
co and the Caribbean and on the
borders thereof, will become part OF
the United States sphere Of influence.
Already we have brought the repub-
lie of Panama under our protection.
Porto Rico belongs to us, Cuba will
be with us before many more years
pass, and the aspiration Of Jamaica
and other British islands for annex
alton will be gratified eventually. 1t
was the belief OF Jefferson that the
whole OF the crescens OF the West
Indies would one day form itself into
a confederation, under the protection
of the United States. and time stands
a chance Of transmitting that dream
into fact. The Caribbean and the
Gull, which Maury, the photographer,
called the Mediterranean Of the West,
will be dominated by the United
States. The IsthmiaD Canal gives
this country a stake in those South
ern seas which it did not have when
Jefferson or Maury spoke, although
the latter had the canal as an even
tuality in mind. The annexation OF
Porto Rico and the establishment OF
a protectorate over Cuba and Pana-
ma. brings this old aspiration within
measurable distance of attainment.
