tional law and condemns the doctrine that a great state, by reason of it's strength, may rightfully appropriate the sovereignty or territory of a small state on account of it's weakness. IL means for other American states that we claim no rights and will assume no functions save those of a friend and of an ally and defender as against European aggressions. It means that we repudiate the role of American con tinental policeman; that we refuse to act as debt collector for foreign states or their citizens; that We respect the independent sovereignty of each Amer ican stats and it's right to preserve or der and otherwise regulate it's own in ternal affairs in it's own way; and that any intervention in its affairs by us is limited to the single office of en- abling it's people to work their own political and national destiny for them selves free from the coercion of any European state.
 Reform in Governmental Expenditures.
 Twenty-eight years have passed since the Democratic party of the State of New York. in convention as sembled, recommended to the Nation al Democracy the nomination of Sam uel J. Tilden as it's candidate for the presidency, and declared it to be their settled conviction that a return to the constitutional principles, frugal expenses and administrative purity of the founders of the republic in the first and most imperious duty of the times the commanding issue now before the people of the Union" This strong expression was called forth by the na- tional expenditures for the year 1875, which amounted to s274, 1000. .000-a sit nation which. in the opinion of a ma Jority of our people, justified an inn perative demand for reform in the ad- ministTation of public affairs. As the expenditures of the last fiscal year amounted to the enormous total of S582. GOO .000 it is evident that a thor ough investigation of the public serv- ice and the immediate abandonment of useless and extravsgant expendi- lures are more necessary now than they were then. This astounding in- crease is out of all proportion to the increase of our population, and finds no excuse from whatever aspect we view the situation The National Democratic platform declares that large reductions can easily be made in the annual expenditures of the gov- ernment without impairing the eff ciency of any granch of the public serv- zee" Can there be any doubt of the acuracy of this statement? Between the expenditures of the year 1886, amounting to $242, 100000, and those of the last fiscal year-the seventh af- ter Grover Cleveland to be president aggregating $5s2 2,O00,0 900, there is a difference so great as to excite alarm in the breasts of all thoughtful men. Even excluding the sum of $50,000.OO paid for the Panama canal rights and to the state of Panama, the expendi- lures of the last fiscal year exceeded the sum of $532. 2.000. .00O, being more than double the expenditures of tho government for all purposes during

 The old inquiry, What are you go- ing to do about it?" is not stated in a new form. It is said by the admins tration. in reply to the public criticism of this order, that Tt is easy to test cur opponents sincerity in this matter The order in question is Tevocable at the pleasure of the executive If our opponents come into power they can rcvoke this order and announce that they will treat the veterans of '62 and 70 as presumbably in full bodily yigoT and not entitled to pension Will they authorltatively state that they intend to do so? If so. We accept the issue.
 This suggests the suspicion, at least, that the order was made to create an issue-tnat it was supposed to present a strong strategic position in the bat tie Of ballots. But as the making Of that order was. in my judgment, an attempted, though perhaps unwilling, encroachment upon the legislative power. and, therefore, unwarranted by the constitution, the challenge is ac- oepted.

 Foreign Relations
 Tie foreign relations of the govern ment nave in late years assumed spe- cial importance. Prior to the acquisi- ficu of the Philippines, we were practi- cally invUinerable against attacks Dy foreign states. Those tropical pos SeSSlOES, however SSfSA e--1.-'e- miles from our shores. have changed ali this. and have in effect put us un- der bonds to keep the peace. The new conditions call for management of foreign affairs the more circum- spect in that the recent American in vasion of foreign markets in all parts of the world has excited the serious apprehension of all the great indus trial peoples
 It Is essential, therefore. more than ever to adhere strictly to the tradi- tional policy of the country as form ulated by it's first president and never in my judgment, wisely departed from ito invite friendly relations with all nations while avoiding entangling ali- ances with any. Such a policy means the cultivation of peace instead of the qualification of war. and the minding Of our own business in lieu of spectac- ular intermingIing with the affairs or other nations.

LIONS GO DEER HUNTING.
Big California Cats Kill More OF the
zTimid Animals Than All the
Hunters. 80

More deer are killed every year in
California by the mountain lions than
by the bullets of the hunters, states
the Los Angeles Times. x,:-~.
Next to the jaguar, our mouatain
lion is the largest cat in the two
Americas, and he is the champion deer
slayer of the world. Within 30 or 40
miles of Los Angeles he catches the
feet-footed, graceful creatures and
wakes fat on the sweet flesh. He knows
no deer season other than all the
time.
Wherever there is good~deer coun-
try in this or any other southwestern
state, there, also, is the best place for
lions, and that is one of the reasons
why the large herds of deer are rest
less, seldom staying long in one local
ity. There is nothing that they fear
more than the sight or smell of a
mountain lion. Not evennt the sudden
appearance of hunter will so quickly
drive them away from range of hills
The lions method of hunting the
deer is not unlike that of the big cats
OF Africa and India in pursuit of the
antelope and deer of those countries.
Having found spring or pool where
the desired game comes to water at
nightfall. the lion selects an overhang-
ing limb or ledge of rock, whence one
leap will carry him to the back or
throat of his prey, and thereon lays
himself out in perfect accord with the
limb itself. In the gathering dusk
the imperfect eye of the deer has little
chance against this hidden terror, and
the wind, usually his faithful ally, can
help him none now, for the lion is
far and away too old a campaigner not
to lie up Wind from the spring.
The deer comes; one leap from the
limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and
powerful paws soon break the tender
neck; and don't you believe it when
anyone tells you that California lion
can't carry away deer. The writer
has followed the plain, broad trail of
the heavy pads for over half mile. and
then come suddenly on the place where
the killer had stopped to rest. There

deer's body; but for that whole dis
lance the lion had carried it well m
and clear of the ground. Such "por-
| tages" are not infrequent in the career
! of hunting lion, as these animals
never eat their game where they kill it.
Sometimes they hunt in pairs, but in
six or eight years spent in the hills,
the writer has seen but one such hunt
ing pair
Like the rest of the cats the world
over, the mountain lions mainstay in
hunting is patience. He will wait fol-
hours on narrow limb or on a rocky
ledge in the coolest night rather than
get out like a coyote and scour the
slopes for his supper; with feet as
noiseless as an OWLS wing, he will fol-
low an unsuspecting rabbit or belated

many dangers for young pig, his liking
for deer is even greater than that.

they should preach a relentless
