que la cesi6n de Ia bahia de eiHai-

actitud de IpgIaterra en- 10 que con-
cierne la bahia de Wei-Hay- Wei, Rc-
titud que ha sorprendido profunda-
mente todo el mundo Y de Ia cual no
SO explicaban las causas.
Cuando los rusos ObtuVieron Port
Arthur, los ingleses exigieron Ia ce-
sion de un puerto en- Ia costa de China,
en- ell cual pudieran estableCer una po-
tente base naval, desde Ia cuaI pudie-
ran amenaza1 sacramento & los rusos

PARECE QUE en- EL Sc REFLE-
JAN FlELMENTE LAS TEN
DENCIAS Y LAS IDEAS DE
MR.. ROOSEVELT.

El programa de la Convention de
Chicago es una confirmation de Ia po-
Utica que Mr.. Roosevelt practica des-
de que esta en- el poder.
Su caracter1stica es Ia nota protec-
cionista. Preconiza la adopci6n de
mediOs practicos capaces de fayorecer
Ia reciprocidad comercial. en- todos
aquellos casos en- que sea possible con-
certar acuerdos recfprocos prOtectores
de Ia agriculture y de Ia industria anne
ricana.
Como podra verse. este no parece
ser ell proteccionismO lleVado hasta Ia
guerra Gdat0ner0 que en- otras ocasio-
nes ha parecido ser ell norte de la po-
Utica republicans. El principle pro-
tecciOnista. no obstante, palpita en- Ia
direction de esa p0l1tica.
El programa de la convention re-
publicana de Chicago ofrece mantener
intacta la Doctrina de Monroe pre-
coniza la construction de una marina
de guerra bastante poderosa para de-
fender & los EstadOs UnidOs contra to-
da aggression.
Ofrece toda protection & los intere-
reses americanOs en- ell extranjero. Esa
protection es cosa muy natural aunque
Sc sabe por experiencia que puede &
veces dar OCCASION y pretexto 8 DISCUS

do en- cuenta el espfritu que reina ac-
tualmente en- los Estados Unidos con
referencia al desenvolvimient expan-
sionista nacional.
Es curioso saber 10 que la conven-
ci6n hs pensado de la actitud del Pre-
sidente con reIaci6n & los Trusts. So
bre todO teniendo en- cnenta que Ia alta
finanza intent6 en- aquel pals rebajar
los prestigios personales de Mr.. Roose-
veIt para castigarIe por haber querido

Antithesis Of Roosevelt.

RI %
Judge Parker is the antithesis OF
the present occupant Of the White
House. Possessed of quiet dig
nifty he would command universal
respect; ayerse to unnecessary pub
LEFTY he would Try to avoid the
speclac,siarlsHl and self.explolta-
tIou which have become SO nau-
seous III The present adinlnlsara-
ton; with a sturdy Ainericanlsm
which places country above party,
he would guard the national honor
with zealour care, encouraging aud
holding the good Will Of other ma
tions; judicial, he would weigh
results before committing the
country to new or dangerous poll
:les; CAREFUL IN his friendships and
with a wide experience ID dealing
with men, he would eschew intl-
macies likely TO bring discredll up
Oh him; equipped with those quail
tiles OF men and heart which are

1strate he would perform his whole

It Is go South. ;

81 am looking for place to To-
cate" said ]. F. Weaver, OF Ore
gon, in the st. Charles last evening,
land from what l have heard OF
Louisiana I think this is the right
place.
, Il left Oregon nearly two months
ago, and have been investigating as
I crossed the country, but from all
| can learn Louisiana offers more
than any Other Southern State.
Times have changed during the last
few years. Only few years ago
the slogan was go West but To-
day it i2 eco South, and there are
many people from the West who
want TO come here. / have not de-
cided what line I shall enter, as
that will be determined by condl-
tons. Stock. raising looks good to
me down here, while a large farm
devoted ~ sheep and goats would l
believe be a paying venture, as the
country, from what | have been able
TO Learn, is well adapted to sheep
and goats, good pasturage all The
year round, with ample water to
meet all requirements aud good
market in. New Orleans for the
product. / expect to enter into
something in this immediate section,
however, as I think it is the place
TO come.
If Mr.. Weaver will come over to
st. ramnanY Parish and take a
look around, he will find the luca-
ton and the conditions that he is
seeking, ana our proximity to New
Orleans, both By rail and water,
will be an extra inducement for
him to locate here.

Here is~a little alfalfa stor,

Here is-a little alfalfa story:
a man six Years ago came
into possession Of a farm in
Ohio which had been skinned to a
y6nlsh, the clay fields baked or
puddled, according to the season,
refusing to produce even so poor
crop as ten bushels of corn per
acre. The farm was rated as WORTH
less for any purpose Without de-
failing all that was done by the
buyer to renovate this farm, we
will confne the story to what he
did with one field. It was first
reduced to as good tllth as possi-
BILE and then soWn with twenty-five
pounds Of alfalfa seed TO the acre,
moved three times the FIRST year
and the cuttings allowed to remain
where they fell. During the next
four years the field furnished an
average Of five tons to the acre Of
worth about $50. The
field was then plowed up, and last
year be raised thereon a crop Of Is
bushels Of corn to the acre. with
the field in the best Of condition
for another crop. Perhaps this
story may give some Of our read
ers what is termeed q him. s.

Our Total Population.

TEe total population enumerated
by the Twelfth Census was 76,303,-
3s7; but while the area Of enumer-
alton covered Alaska and Hawaii,
it did not include Porto Rico, the
Philippines, Guam or Samoa. The
population of these newly acquired
islands has, however, been ascer.
tanned partly by estimates and
partly BY special censuses. In
Guiding these estimates, the total
population of the United States
and its outlying possessions in 1900
was as follows:
Area Of enumeration. IS, 3O3,3S7
Philippine Islands 49,. 6,96l,339
Porto Rico ....... 953,243
Guam .......... 5000
Samoa 49,. 6,lOO
Total. S4,233, 069
The only countries surprising
the United States n mum Der Of

With the inclusion Of III IN
