Oh. those cakesl And the ham,

Steve looked at the floor. TOO bad,
Charley; too bad he said in grave
sympathy. But probably we can fix it
up. Now, as we have company, would
you mind hitting the breakfast trail %
After I've made a few remarks re-
turned Charley haughtily.
Steve dropped on a stool. Sick your
pup en-" he said. Charley leaped at
the opportunity.
There are some things sh'd like to
mention said he. We noted with
pleasure that he wore his sarcastic
manner. FIR instance, you doubtless
behold them small piles of snow on the

alton in that State of the narrowDess and folIy
of this sort of party leadership. The newly
chosen Senator strikes a welcome note when he
says that his first effort will be TO build up ana

in any case resort to such measures or even oe-
clare our right to do So There is nothlng III con,
nection with those countries which we should
regret more than the necessity of using or even
of threatening force toward them. one OF
the reasons for regarding the Santo domingo
treaty so favorably is that it assures setue-
ment without force, and practically removes
that country from the zone of possible nos
tllities. We have also indicated the reasons why
Venezuela should regard the United States
andcably and avoid even the slightest cause
for strenuous action. But undue advantage
must not be taken of the leniency and the
friendly disposition of this country. The United
States can scarcely be expected to protect It's
weaker neighbors from spoliation, and then
have them discriminate against ii In favor or
the very countries against which 1t has pro-
tected them. Neither is it nor should 1t be in
clined to protect those countries and at the
same time fail to protect its own interests In
them The United States Is not seeking to
crowd all other nations out of the western
Hemisphere, but neither is it ready to accept
the doctrine that it has no rights here which

the Judgment of the lower court. Mr.. Carlisle had

the law under which duties were collected on
