THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

These islands lie near Porto Rico.
They are a natural adjunct to that
territory. and in the contemplated pur-

their value as naval base is the main
thing to be considered.

HARMONY,

The republican managers, it is stated
are preparing some striking illustrations
of the harmony that now exists between
republicans and former bull moosers AT
the meetings Mr.. Hughes will address in
his trip across the continent and back
republicans and bull moosers will vie
with one another in enthusiasm for the
candidate. They will cooperate for
enormous attendance and other mani
festations of approval.
1t is an excellent idea, and the terri
tory will afford opportunity for carry
ing it out. Bull moosery was power
in those parts four years ago. Mr. Roose-
welt polled large vote, and, even before
that, discomfort with the leadership of
the republican party had been displayed.
The bull moosers who have accepted
Mr.. Hughes for leader in this campaign
understand that he is republican, and
if elected will be guided by that party's
chart They do not consider the Chicago
platform "a spread of molasses" They
will expect him to be entirely faithful to
his promises and party obligations.
But tacy appraisc him as forward
locking man who in performing his
duties VIII give heed TO forward looking
policies. He is not, in their conception
of things. reaetionafy in wish or pur-
pose. They have no idea that he will at
tempt to take up where Mr. Taft left off
\ good deal of water has gone under the
bridge since 1912. The war and the VII
son administration have produced an en-
tirely new situation, which must be met
full faced
The republicans find no quarrel with
this. They, too, see the difference be-
tween the Taft day and this day, and
will expect Mr.. Hughes if he reaches the
White House to address himself to what
confronts him, keeping in mind, Of
course, the broad party principles laid
down at Chicago. He will have to exc
cute large order in large and liberal
way.
It is this fact which supports the be-
lief that the success of Mr.. Hughes at
the polls will mean a permanently re-
united republican party. By his course
in Office he will hold together the men
who have joined hands to put him there.
Having the confidence of both republi-
cans and former bull moosers, and being
q genuine republican himself, he will
strive to make the victory achieved more
than mere turning out of one party
from Office and the turning in of an
other.
This feature of the stumping tour
should afford a valuable line on the
prospects of the republican candidate.

no communication with Newfoundland
since the 21st, and that close watch was
being kent for the Great Eastern at

personal direction the cable was finally
laid Mr.. Field. after giving a detailed
account of the westward voyage of the

will sail for the spot where the cable was

will proceed to lay the new cable across
