An Apimal Story For

The Goose S Dinner

There is nothing I love better than
a nice fat goose" said the man who
lived in the city.
But he had no goose and not enough
money to buy one.
81 know what l shall do," said he to
himself. 81 shall buy gosling and
feed him we'll until he grows to be a
goose, and then 1 shall eat him."
Now, gosling Is only baby goose
and he was able to buy one OF them
for q few cents.
He fed the little fowl carefully, and
the eosling grew. Within week he

FILTHY COLON.
Panama City In Which Only the Mos
quito Enjoys Life.

Panama City In Whlch Ohly the MOS
quito Enjoys Life.
It is perfectly true that without Its
trade across the isthmus the state OF
Panama would be a very quiet little
community. But the people of the
place gladly take advantage Of the
trade that the isthmus affords, and ac-
lively engage in every kind of business
that seems likely to bring profit.
But this is when the citizen of Pan
anna can live away from Colon or Pan
anna City For at no time can they be
called healthful places or desirable To-
calities for residence. Colon was never
intended as site for city, for it is
a mere sand spit a mile long and a
mile wide. At an expense Of S5,000,-
900 causeways have been built connect
ing the town with the main land, and
that is how the town is able to con.
tinue it's existence.
The streets, though they have been
improved of late, are often impossible
in wet weather, and when dry, send up
huge clouds of choking, foul-smelling
dust. Around the town are large
number of stagnant pools and lagoons,
which breed the deadly malaria germs
that are so fatal to unacclimated traV-
elers. Sickening odors assail the nose
at every turn. Even the dogs and
monkeys look hopelessly forlorn and
unhappy. One never hears a hearty
laugh in Colon, nor Is a cheerful face
to be seen anywhere save when some
one is hurrying to board steamer or
Il train to get away from the island.
The only thing that seems to enjoy
life at Colon is the mosquito. They
come i'm swarms. They enter every
place. They will bite through the
thickest clothing that one can wear in
the tropics, and at night they have a
clever way of getting under the netting
and making things exciting for their
enthusiastically Eagle.

We are glad to see that Gen. Miles,

pant in more battles than any living
American, we suppose-at all events
in scores of them; who won advance
ment by distinguished ability from a
lieutancy of volunteers to the rank of
lieutenant general comm anding the
United States army: who is too much a
plain-spoken soldier to succeed in
circles where the subserviency of the
courtier and the insincerity of the
politician are passports to favor-we
are glad we say, to see that this great
soldier is opposed to a militarism in
our government, and strongly advo-
Gates the superior offices and duties
of a policy of peace as the assurance
of continuing national prosperity and
influence. It is a note of wisdom and
sanity much needed when political
leaders who know little or nothing OF

as whole has not yet come SO far as
to see that to increase the source OF
supply of money is not enough to in
sure permanent prosperity for the
masses. The sourcs now proposed
would give monopoly of the power
to issue money to the national banks,
with certain tax on the issue that
would keep the banks from issuing
such money except when the exigen.

banks could compel the borrower to
pay a high rate of interest. This kind
of dear money would never encourage

monopoly: On the other hand, the
owner of a mine would be anxious to
put his product into circulation. A
great deal of it would be put into cir
culation directly through the cost OF
labor necessary to produce the metal.
Having already put that cost into it
the owner would be forced to put it
into circulation. So, if we are to

George B. M. Harvey, voting trus-
ees,'-this paper-in it's issue of last
week summarizes an editorial in this
manner:
"When Mr.. Roosevelt shall next
transfer his residence from Washing
ton to Oyster Bay, the Republican
national convention will have been
held, and its nomina for the presi-
de ncy will have been made. He has
at least eight months before him in
which to improve, or to retain, or ia.
tally to impair, his present excellent
chance of winning the nomiD alton.
Were the national convention to be
held next week he would Individually
be the nominee, and it is, on the face
OF things, improbable that the Situa
tiOn will have changed so materially
before June, 1904, that the nomination
will then be withheld from him. But
while we still expect to see Mr.. ROose-
welt the cand1da ate of his party, we
must recognize that the election of 8
republican nominee is by no means so
inevitable as it looked q year ago.
The prosperity which, however caused,
was nquestionably witnessed under
the Mckinley administration, has
ceased to be universal and conspicu
GUS phen omenon. Not only must dis
appointment and dependency be pre-
dicated of the large class of small in
vestors, to whom we have previously
referred, but in most of the great ur-
ban centers there is certain to be acute
and widespread suffering this winter,
owing to the prolonged, and, for the
present, seeming irremediable dispute
between capital and labor in the build
ing trades. If it be true that the po-
litical party in power is instinctively
credited, to certain extent, with the
generation or maintenance of the ma
tional well-beipg, it is equally true
that national adversely, Or ominous
ndications of drift thereto, are apt
to be imputed to the party responsible
for legi Station. If Things shall go on
for the next twelve months as thew
haze gone on this summer the democ-
racy will have at leass a chance of
electing its nominee for the presidency;
provided, Ct course, that nominee
shall be a man calculated to allay, in
stead OF aggravate, popular uneasi-
ness and apprehension
Is this plain enough? Will Presi-
dent Roosevelt take the cue, or not?
The comment of Harper's Weekly a
year from now will likely tell the
story.

The EASTERN QUESTION.

The situation in the Orient looks
threatening. Russia and Japan may
go to war with each other any day,
and the result will determine the fate
of both China and Japan.
When the powers invaded China on
account of the Boxer rebellion Rus sia
manage to seize Manchuria. Russia
had for a long time been looking for
a port on the Pacific for it's trans
Siberian railway. The Vladivostock
harbor was not satisfactory, as it was
closed to navigation by ice for three
months of the year. By arrangements
with China Russia obtained the use of
the harbor at Port Arthur for this
purpose. Russia was permitted to
occupy M anchuria for limited period
while the work of railway construc-
ton was under way. But Russia has
q way of ''making the temporary Or
ganization permanent. Under one
pretext and another it has managed
to keep up the occupation. The last
day set for evacuation was Oct. 8.
Then the announcement was made that
wild hordes of Tartars had broken in
from the west and threatened the rail-
road communications and therefore
it was necessary to prolopg the occu-
patton. OF course everybody UNDER
stands that Russia does not intend to
give up Manchuria. This in itself
threatens Japan's interests in the east.
But it has further cause for COM
plant in Russian intriques in Korea,
Japan's nearest neighbour. Japan
considers it necessary for its future
welfare that Korea shall be either an
independent empire or subject to ia
pan. 1t recognizes the fact that Rus.
sia's march must be stopped now, or
it will end IN the final overthrow of
the Island Empire. - :. -..' >~:*- !.
It is cruel choice for the little en-
pire. It must either enter Fl ght that
seems almost hopeless, or permit the
Russian Bear to make it's lair close
to it's door. Just at present Japan's
forces outnumber the Russian forces
in Manchuria. But the vast resources
of Russia would in the eud be too
much for the brave little Japs. And
there seems to be no hope for aid from
other nations. England has troubles
enough of it's own. France is the ally
of Russia. Germany has interests in
China, but those interests would be
further. promoted by anything that
tended to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Chinese empire. Greed is the deter
mining factor in such matters, and a
generous slice of foreign territory
seems to quiet the national conscience
very easily.
