LIMITED STATES AND MEXICO.

Mexico has apparently taken alarm
AT the isthmian proximity of the Uni
| ted States and will go in for coast de-
| fences and a navy. San Juan de Uiuo
island. in the harbor of Vera Cruz
| viii have a modern fortress and all the
ports of the republic are to be safe
guarded with big guns. The marine
program calls for a number of modern
battleships and cruisers. 1t is also
intended to provide for the defense of
the interior approaches to the City OF
Mexico and to several of the State
capitals.
Evidently Mexico expects that the
United States will sooner or later alb
serb the whole of Central America and
she does not like a position between
the upper and neither millstones. In
the view that expansion, beginning at
the canal. will touch the south Mexican
frontier, the Diaz government is PROB
ably right, for it will not be to the
interest of the United States to have
foreigners build a second canal via.
Nicaragua or to get or keep a predomi-
mating commercial influence in the
Panama hinterIand Central America,
sooner or later, must come under the
Stars and Stripes. It is manifest des-
tiny. But whether Mexico shall be
absorbed or not will depend, chiefly,
upon her own conduct as a member Of
the family of nations.
The American people are well salts
fed to leave Mexico alone. They do
not want another Philippine problem
to deal with So long as peace reigns
across the border and international OBJ
legations are kept, the cactus republic
will have no cause to fear American
expansion The United States does
not need Mexico in it's business as it
will need the canal district; and it
respects the government which Presi-
dent Diaz is giving naturally turbu-
lent people. The danger to Mexico |
would be in a succession of bad rulers
and civil wars and of the sort of in
trigue which obliged the United States
to take Colombia by the throat. A few
years of that, would justify interven-

ton.

The statement that the Russians will
not advance on Korea might be fairly
supplemented by a Japanese decision
not to advance beyond it. Japan went
to war to get Korea and having got
her, and Incidentally the control of the
sea, what more does she want? Ger
tainly Japan does not covet Manchuria
and unless she is bound by treaty to
save China, her present position ought
to suit her very we'll indeed. When
the prize is won all that remains is to
defend it.
If Japan should decide to stand pat,
Russia would be in a most embarrass-
ing position. What she wants is to
pursue the Fabian policy which worked
so we'll during the French invasion; to
lure the enemy to the recesses of her
own country before turning upon him.
But Japan, without the slightest loss
of prestige can sit down in her Korean
entertainments and compel the Rus
slams either to drop the war or come
where the japanese are and fight on
ground of the Iatter's own choosing.
Perhaps that is the game. If it is,
outwitted Russia will be the jest and
by-word of the world

A WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT.

The subject of a worlds fair exhibit
at private expense is to be discussed
by the merchants and planters. There
is a moral incentive to do something
to counteract the presence on the
pike" of the hula hula show. and this
30 we'll as the value of worlds fair
advertising will be considered
IT must not be forgotten, however
that the people who go to see hulas at
a great fair are not led away from
them by school exhibits or grocery DIS
nlavs. Bas relief maps and bags Oh
s,,qar do not wean them from the spice
of life. Even papier mache fish ana
+ana cloth cannot be depended on 10
make the pikers forget the music Oh
Toni Toni over in the grass hut Inc
sctAna is too much like that of the
eood old ladies who proposed to win
men from strong drink by giving them
weekly lectures on village improve
ment.
The Advertiser. in view of the failure
worlds fairs, has not been enthusiastic
for display at st. Louis. But II
would heartily approve any show OF
kind that actually draws people ana
convfnees them that place is worth
seeing and worth living in. Moving
pietures always attract crowds ana
display. in that form, of Hawaiian
street and plantation scenes, surf
bathing, the volcano, schools at recess
shore fishing, park band concerts, yacht
racing. etc, could not fail to advertise
Hawaii as it is and make people wish
to come here. There is more for Ha-
wall in $4,000 spent upon moving pic
lures than there would be in $4,000
in such exhibits as the Islands main
tanned at Omaha, Buffalo, Charleston
and Paris. The most We got out OF
Chicago and San Francisco fairs came
of the Kilauea cyclorama; the least out
of the merchandise display.

The Russian lack of initiative may
be due to the weather, but the whole
plan of campaign seems to be defen-
sive Wherever a Russian force goes
it builds entertainments. Though pos
sessed of large fotilla of torpedo
boats and destroyers at Port Arthur
and vladivostok, but one sortie has
been made and that a feeble one. With
all their braggadocio about invading
Japan and debating a peace at Toxic,
the Russians are not nearly so agrees
sive as the Chinese were in the winter
of 1S94-95.

San Domingo offers the remains of
Christopher Columbus to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition for 100000 AS
these particular remains are not the
ones which the Spanish Government
removed in great state from Havana
to Cadiz, few years ago, they are
probably a spare set Columbus had to
use on Sunday. Although equally as
good" in the matter of bone, the sec
ond hand quality of the remains makes
the asking price high. However, per-
haps payment can be made in Domini-
can money, in which case they win
prove cheap enough.

comparers, clerks, proof-readers, copy

vouchers has not yet been made known
but there is hope that it will also be
governed by the lower schedule OF pay
demanded by the hard times.

TO RESTORE THE sPHINx.

A project is on foot in Alexandria for
restoring the Sphinx, near the Great
Pyramid of Ghizeh, to it's original con-
dition. Thick layers of soil completely
cover the head of the monument, while
the lower parts are greatly obscured by
accumulations of sand. 1t is proposed
to clear. all these accommodations away
and to clean the head completely. When
the work has been completed the
Sphinx will once more appear, if not in
It's first freshness, at least in the
grandeur of its original proportions.

NICHOLAS TURNS COMPOSER.

According to a Belgian paper, the
ear is among the composers. It is
stated that at a soiree in the winter
palace several works from the imperial
pen were performed, among them one
entitled 1.-THE Song OF Peace" This
stands in three sections, the first of
which depicts the turmoil of battle,
while the second suggests the stricken
field covered with dead and wounded.
The third invokes retribution upon
those who are responsible for such hor-
rors. Another work is written in hon
or of the saints of the Orthodox church.
