means a desire for peace at any
price. / am not so blind an advocate
of peace as to sacrifice for it the
dignity Of our country and its future
expansion. In the true sense of the
word, I am an imperialist. History
says that in every part Of the worla.
where the interests of Rome and her
citizens were at stake, the Roman
government was in favor of unfolding
these interests, and OF protecting
these citizens even at the risk Of war.
The greatness of the Roman empire
depended upon this policy. Her un-
rivaled expansion came from this pol
icy, too. Today both the imperialism
of Chamberlain and the expansion
policy of the kaiser may be said to
be the modified adoption Of this an
cient policy in the present and the
future must, too. be based upon the
same principle. 1t is, therefore my
opinion that in case our interests or
the interests of some of our citizens
in foreign country are at stake we
much uphold and protect them, even
at the risk of war. But cannot ap-
prove the recent jingoism and the
warlike agitation among our short
sighted politicians and base-minded
demagogues. / remember that when
discussing the attitude of England
in the supposed case of rupture of
the peaceable relations between ia
pan and the United States an Ameri-
can writer said that blood is thicker
than water; the historical relation
between the United States and Eng
land is stronger than the mere treaty
relation between Japan and the Unit
ed States. We have no treaty alliance
with the United States as we have
with England. But our historical re-
lation with this country is stronger
than treaty alliance; in other words
our relation with England is the
written, and that with the United
States is the unwritten. II the rup-
ure of such relation comes at some
future time it must come from the ir-
reconciliable conflict of public opin-
ion in both countries, but not from
the agitation for war by the so-called
lingo politicians, and not from the
anti-Japanese movement aroused by
the demagogues and assisted by some
OF the sensational papers of this
country American people must re-
gard public opinion in Japan, but
not that of the lingo politicians. The
Japanese nation must regard public
opinion in the United States, but not
that of the anti-japanese agitators,
whom the American nation does not
take into account.

AS DUSK COMES ON.

The twilight falls, and witchery OF
night
Folds close upon the fast departing
day.
The brooding hills slow melt into
the gray,
And dim streams glisten in the wan
moons light.
The valley so melodious while the
flight
OF Phoebus spurred the bluebird's
tuneful lay.
Now deep in fragrant silence dreams
away
The hours till dawn shall waken bloom
from blight.
The rapture and the passion of the
West
Have vanished from the voices OF
the breeze;
The drocl'ing meadow grasses dew-im-
prest
Are shrouded, mute with glamour.
In surcease.
And now the fled days requiem on
the crest
OF evening comes-an owls note
through the Bohemian.

OUTLOOK FOR CUBA.

Robert Howard Russell in MetrOpol-
itan Magazine.-An American colon
list living near Camaguey stated in a
recent interview: Under annexation
we would soon be on the same foot
ing as to the tariff as Porto Rico, and
that means fortunes for all of us, and
such prosperity as the Cubans never
saw for them. Last year Cuba paid
the United States more than $46,O00,-
900 in duty. Think what saving this
means. 1t is out natural market
in fact, for much that we raise, our
only one. With no duty or q fair re-
Iduction- one of which would come I'M
der annexation, we could control the
fruit market alone east Of the Mfssis-
sippi
We know all this will come, SO we
have laid out fruit plantations here
that are going to astonish the world
We already raise the best oranges,
bananas and lemons that go to New
York. Few realize that Their are more
than one hundred and fifty million
American dollars invested in various
honest enterprises in Cuba, and I'M
til this last revolution and the talk
of another republic, it was coming in
at the rate of a million a month
The present program in regard to
Cuba contemplates the taking Of
census, which will consume some six
months, to be followed by the munich
pal election in the coming autumn;
then, after another six months, the
election Of president after which
the final evacuation of the United
States troops is fixed for January 1,
1909. 1t may be that before this
time, by the common consent and
agreement of the people of both lands,
the island may come under the per-
manent protection of the American
flag.
Undoubtedly Cuba's present need is
practical education in many things,
and when the preservation of law and
order and the protection of property
shall be guaranteed there by the
government of the United States, the
island may then be safely trusted to
work out its own abundant salvation.

Madison. July s.

Uncle Sam, always generous to
those in his employ, has again shown
that generosity in a tangible form and
thousands of postoffice clerks car
riers, rural carriers and railway mai!
clerks all over the country rejoiced
July / at the increased pay allotted
them.
carriers in Madison received $3.50 a
year. Those who have been In the
service over year will now get 5000.
There are 81 carriers In this city
and all but two will be benefited by
the increase. The 10 are w. 8. Baker,

William Smith, Jr., Otto Sommers and
James f.. Sullivan.
Seven rural carriers have routes
out from Madison and each one of
them has been greatly benefited by
the increase. Heretofore they have
been paid 1920 annually, now they get
5000. The carriers are Eugene M.
Smith, Fred /. Clapp, Theodore Peter

Sangesand.
All clerks In the postoffice receiving
less than $1,100 year have had
their salaries advanced 500. Definite
information as to those who will be
benefited by the increase can not be
given yet at the postoffice.
Substitutes for clerks and carriers
are to receive 80 cents an hour for
actual time hereafter. Before the new
order went into effect they drew the
same pay as those for whom they
worked From the government they
received an annual salary of 81. just
so as to be on the payroll.
Seven railway mail clerks are paid
at the Madison postoffice. They also
got an increase of 500 year. their
salaries ranging from 5000 to $1,400

ENRIcHINe GARDEN SOIL.
Hints About the Various Common
Fertilizers.

Hints About the Various Common
Fertilizers.
Fertilizers in the form Of animal
manures, chemicals or vegetable mat
ter come next in importance to a good
soil. Horse, COW, sheep, and poul-
try droppings are the cheapest and
most direct in results. OF the four,
COW manure is probably the best for
the majority of plants especially
pansies, iris, violets, ferns and others
which love a cool soil. Cow manure
Is known as a cool manure, and is
suitable for warm or sandy soil
Horse manure, which is more heating
especially when from young stock, is
better on cold or clayey soil, as it has
the effect Of breaking up the adhesive
ness of the clay and promoting the
formation of sand. Hen manure is
very warm and is therefore most suit,
able for cold soils. Sheep manure Is
especially desirable for roses and
house plants, about one part manure to
six parts of earth being the proportion
Good results may be obtained by
the use of any or all of these, IL in
the proper condition and judiciously
applied. Manure is in proper condi
ton when it has passed completely
through heating or fermenting stage
Fresh manure should never be placed
where 1t or the water that teaches
from 1t, can possibly come in con
tact with the plants; manure should
be six months or, better still, year
old before being used. Old and we'll

should be fine and free from such
rough litter as corn stalks, cobs, and
long straws. Never let manure touch
the roots of plants. 1t does not al

horticulture and the growth q
plants for seed purposes also.
1t is calculated that the expense of
installation for each space of $500
square yards in Germany or France
is about $3.50 plus the steam general
ing apparatus which may be large OF
small according to the tract to be
heated. and which may be used for
other purposes. The cost OF the heat
ing is figured at SIS month.
The actual increase in profit for the
same patch of ground sown with
early vegetables is figured at $500 on
three months heating OF the soil.
