The great question of the day with the Canadian people is whether there is to be some kind of prohibition or not, and the. answer will bo known on tlio :111th inst., when a plebiscite is to lie taken. Hardly any public question lias been discussed with such vigor as this one of tho liquor traffic in all civilized lands, and tho various pros and cons ure familiar to all who take any interest in this pressing: problem. The question whether liquor shall be allowed to bo dispensed as now, can best bo answered by going back to the question whicli is very often raised in connection with inebriety and ono that still awaits an explicit answer: "Am I my brother's kcopc?

When Sir William Harcourt was a young man he once ptiid a visit to Lord Beaconsfield, or, as he was then, Disraeli, and on Sunday vent with his host to the village church. "My friend, the vicar," said Disraeli, in explanation or that functionary's high church tendencies, "will take what T call a collection and he calls an offertory; and afterward what I call a plate he calls au alms-dish, will bo placed on what I call a table and ho calls an altar.���Graphic. recognition of the absolute fact of the brotherhood of man. It has been tersely stated by a writer of prominence, that although this brotherhood is acknowledged by mankind generally, it is uot widely operative; it is not a CttSejpi "Be yo as brothers" hut rather "Yo are brothers," and as such, any wrong done to one will reflect on tho whole; therefore, ethically speaking it is wrong to put a stumbliug block in a brother's path, for bis shatno is yours from the fact of all being oue common liu man ity; and from this, therefore, may bo adduced the assertion that it is against the law to deal in that which is, in oxcess, a poiHon not loss to men's souls as to their bodies. On the other hand, everything in life is relative, it is all a queston of degree. The savage who invites the missionary to dine and clubs him on tho head, sees no wrong in tho act Simply because lie has not arrived at that evolutionary stage where the killing of a brother is an offence against the law. In like manner the Buddhist shuns the shedding of bloood of innocent creatures for food, for the reason that lie is spiritually in advance of the meat eating western world. So it is with the dealer in 'liquor; he sees no wrong in supplying what ho considers to bo a legitimate demand aud on tho lines that tho abuso of a thing is no argument against it, very naturally resents the imputation that is east upon him by those who live on the " I-nni- holier-than-thou" plane. It is this tool ing that has ongendorod so much bitterness over this great question and estranged tho liquor party so widely from the prohibitionists, who although working for a noble uauso, yot fail to ii.'i'iiguii'.o as fully as thev should, that :i fooling of greater toleroneo would be far more Impressive with their opponents and entirely forgetting thut thero aro thousands of good Christian men and women who have innocently drank liquor all their lives and who are living exponents of tlie Pauline admon. ilion lo be temperate in all things. As to tho result of tlie plebiscite, if it should carry, which sooms not improbable, tlio most ardent prohibitionist scarcely expects immediate nor absolute legislation on tho subject; there will be uo sweeping "teatotal" legislation at Ottawa, but rather such new laws as will bring tho liquor traffic under better control, so that all respectable and legitimate dealers therein wiil be benefitted and protected from tho effects of the lower grade of saloons and kindred establishments which have so debauched thy lower classes, while the prohibitionist will have attained acknowledgement as boing an unmistakable factor in Canadian politics, and arrived at? that point where he can contemplate with equanimity the assurance that his secret wish will bo attained in the no distant future with the evolutionary upward march ot humanity. otll- Liberal sources it came. There are evidences brought home to me daily of quiet and'effective organization going on from ono end of ttho coun wry to the other, through tho Liberal ranks and by the Liberal party. After a few words on minor topics he said: "I am a National Policy man, not merely because I am a Conservative but because I apprehend what the Conservative party has been able to do under that policy. But for that we could not have shown the independent commercial spirit I havo referred to; but for that wo could not have cemented the union of the Provinces; but for that we could never have 'got these steamship communications that exist; but for that we could not have implanted in the breast of any Canadian tho determination which is there, not only to put these, fast steamers on the oceans but to cement even more strongly still theso Outlying portions of the Empire by a cable system. All thoso different ideas, that bring out the best youth of the country, are the ideas taken out of the Liberal Conservative school and are the ideas preached by the party for IS years. Wo can well afford I'or a few yoars, to allow these men to try their prentice hands. Tbey oppose all tho lines upon which the country's progress is based and now thoy have not the courage to dare to do any of the things which they said they would do before they were elected. When, therefore, the Liberal Conservative patty closes up its ranks, as it is doing in British Columbia today, and from hero to the Atlantic, has got ready for the fight, that day will, I believe, see I as great a victory for the Liberal-Con- [ st.

The tire was con- lined exclusively to tbe business portion of the town and the open ground intervening between it and the mammoth works of the United Verde Company saved the hitter's plant, otherwise the loss and suffering would have been terrible. Many people from Jerome are arriving here on special trains, while those remaining are being carded for by the company.

Mr. Safley was gunning for grouse with a light muzzle loading shotgun when ho espied the coyote.

The state will, however, lose nothing, as the auditor of thc war department promises that the ' state shall be reimbursed by the United States for this outlay hereafter. They amount to $1053.18, and the parties furnishing the same will therefore present their bills to the state in order to obtain their money for supplies furnished.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.���Private advices have been received to the effect that the Caroline group of islands, which this country contemplated seizing, had the war with .Spain been prolonged, are by this time in the control of the natives. Two native kings of the group, who had long been at war with each other, sonic months ago declared a truce, combined their forces and began war against tho Spanish authorities, who sent in vain to Guam for aid, after concentrating their forces at Ponnpe. The Spaniards were poorly supplied with ammunition and in no position to resist a prolonged attack. The supposition is that the place was captured und the Spanish garrison wiped out. This would virtually mean the capture of the entire group of islands. IDAHO. Heavy forest fires have been raging in Custer county and have done a great amount of damage. It is said most of them were caused by the Indians, who arc quite numerous in the mountains hunting deer.

Thousands of sheep are ranging in the vicinity of Hear ereek and Pollock mountain in Washington county this seasdh. and the sheep men report thut bear seem to be more numerous than usual, several lambs having been stolen from the various flocks. Parties coming from the Nez Perec reservation report an excellent crop being harvested in that section, and that all are hopeful and buoyant over the ideal weather, which is exceedingly favorable to luirvesting. The crop is taken as strongly indicative of the possibilities of that section when once the land is more generally tilled and developed.

Work on Nine Mile ln Iduho���Altitude of HulTnlo Hump���Sulci* lis-. ported of the Iron Musk, (lie Iron Home und the C'oppt-r Wonder��� Mining Votes. There are 15 teams and 25 men employed on the Northern Pacific's Nine Mile branch, near Wallace, Idaho, and the gap between the old grade und town will be completed this week. That is practically all the work tliere is to do lor four miles, the old grade requiring but little repairing to put it in shape to lay ties and rails. No announcement has been made as to how far the rails will be laid this year, although there are various rumors alloat regarding it. Among the meu employed on the work the idea is prevalent that there is an understanding with W. A. Clark that he will work the Sunset und that the road will be built to it as soon as possible. It is out of the question for it to go sso far as that this year, as it will require several miles of heavy grading. The Sunset claim is on the very summit of Sunset peak, and has the greatest surface showing of any claim in the Coeur d'Alenes without question. Mr. Clark has owned it for years, declining to either sell or lease the property, although there are plenty of men who would jump at a chance to get to work it on any reasonable terms. Another report is that the track for the present will run only to the Black Cloud mill, and another that it will be put through as far .as the Granite mine, a mile and a half beyond the end of the old grade. I.O- ���cal officials profess to know nothing nf the plans of the company, and it is probable that they are honest in their statements, The Iron Mnxk Sold. The Iron .Mask in Rossland camp is soon to pass into the hands of the lllackslock-Gixiderhain syndicate, whicli lately acquired the Centre Star, and whicli has owned tho War Eagle since it passed from the hands of the original Spokane Company, That a deal hus been (lending for some time is well known. Thut it is Hearing the point of culmination is asserted by thoso who are in a position lo know the facts. It. is said that the price is to be at the rate of (600.000, or $1 per share, for the property. Some who are in close touch with the parties interested insist tlmt the price is even higher thun this and give as a reason therefor thut the deal has been hanging fire for some time ���limply because the owners of the control of the property would nol sell at $1 per share, and that there is no reason to believe that they havo weakened. However, it comes from an authentic source that tlie price is $1 per share. Ilouicht the Iron Home. The Iron Horse in Rossland camp has been purchased by George ��.. Pfunder tor the Mackay syndicate, which owns the Virginia, Colonna and Monte Cristo properties. The Iron Horse was ���owned by the Iron Horse Alining and Milling Company of Rossland. Harry Humphrey of Spokane was one of the largest stockholders and be recently acquired the control of the property and made the deal for the sale of the control to Mr, Pfunder. J. D. Fnirell was a lnrge stockholder. Mr. Pfunder, who was in the city last week, said that he had closed the deal tor thc purchase of 888,000 shures of the >tock of the company, the capitalization being $1,000,000. lie declined to name the price paid for the stock, but it is claimed that the figure was 8 cents per shore, Altitude of llllffnlo Hump The report that the new quartz camp ni old Buffalo Hump has an altitude of 12,000 feet, is ridiculous, says the Idaho Free Press. The figures given by the United States geological surveyors who were through the country last summer place the altitude of the hump itself at 8810 feet above sea level. This is the elevation platted ou the map of the Hitter Root forest reserve furnished by the in- icrior department for the use of Mr. <iliudining, superintendent of the re ���serve. The entire country was triangu luted and platted with great accuracy, .mil the elevations of all prominent peaks and stations aro given, making il the most serviceable map of this section we have ever seen. Iliiimln the Copper Wonder . The Hritish America Corporation last ���week purchased the Copper Wonder and two other small fractions lying to the is east of the Great Western for $5000. There are 13 acres in thc three fractions. The vendors were Kennedy llrothcrs & Purgold, who owned a third, Chester, of Spokane, a third, and Arthur Gowing und J. S. Rogers, one-sixth each. Cnsh for Centre Star. Thc sum of $2,000,000 for the purchase of the Centre Star mine in Rossland, B. C, was deposited with Cashier T. M. Hodgens of the State Savings bank at Butte last week. The purchaser is the Blaekstock-Gooderham syndicate of Toronto. The stockholders who sell out are principally Butte people. Paid for Government Timber. The clerk of the United States court has been advised by the department of the interior at Washington that a check has lieen received there from the Le Roi Mining &. Smelting Company of Spokane for $148.18 in settlement for 148,183 feet of timber cut by the company from government land near Northport. The .settlement is a compromise. The l.e Hoi In Shipping Ore The Lo Roi smelter ut Northport is not in operation, having run out of ore during the time the company was restrained from shipping. Duily shipments of 300 tons ure being received, and as soon as enough ore can lie roasted it is ex- peeled that both blasts will bo used and a full crew put to work again. This state of affairs is pleating to the people here, who have been undergoing a long spell of the blues on account of the closing down of the smelter as the result of the trouble between the B, A. C. und the Le Roi Company. On the Overlnnd. Of the various parties which left .Spokane and Asheroft in the spring for Duwson City on the overland route, some have reached Teslin lako safely. The Glenora News has chronicled the arrival of several of those parties. As a rule they have not been pleased with their trip, owing to the length of time it took to travel across the long stretch of country between Asheroft and the Stiek- een river. However, no accidents are reported and if tliere was suffering ulong the route from any other cause than in* experience it has not been chronicled. Mlninar Briefs. The Boston & Montana Company of Butte is earning $20 per share net per annum. The Alberta ledge in Rossland camp is said to be widening in the east drift and shows two feet of good ore in the face.

The Commander mine , in Rosslnnd cump hus been relieved of wnter to the 100-foot level nnd a drill is at work in four feet of ore at that point. R. K. Brown, the fonner Spokane news- paper mnn, now u mining magnate, is In Victoria and will go from there to England to spend the winter. A strike of black hornblende is reported in the White Hear at Rossland at a depth of 233 feet. Its values are said to range between $5 and $34 per ton. Application has been mnde for crown grunt for the Peoria property in the Slocan district. Several good ledges are said to have been exposed and Considerable satisfactory work has been done. It is said that the sale of the Centre Star mine in Rossland to the Gooder- ham syndicate bids fair to bring nbout an early settlement of the litigation involving the property with the Iron Mask adiojning. 'The daily output of Leadville mines is 1500 tons with prospect of an increase to 1800 tons before October I. lt was learned at the otlice of the Miller Creek Mining Company that a carload of ore, the first shipped from the mine, will go to Kuslo next week. At the otlice of the Wonderful Group Mining Company yesterday returns were received for a shipment of galena washed from the surface of the claim in hydraulic operations. It yielded 137 ounces silver and 74 per cent lead. T. G. Itluckstock tells thi' Rossland Miner that his syndicate would not think of paying more than 50 cents per share for the Iron Mask. I tttt then it is recalled that Mr. Itluckstock vigorously denied all intention to tako over the Centre Star only a day before that deal was closed. Good news continues to come from the Waterloo strike in ('amp McKinney, It. ('. It is reported that the minors nre sacking ore which literally sparkles with free gold. Mrs. Finnegan, who keeps the boarding house ut Cariboo mine, is suid to lie u lnrge owner of the Waterloo und she is considered a wealthy Women since the strike wns mude.

Maine's regular biennial election for choice of a governor and other state ollicers is in progress today. The republicans expeel that their candidate, Llewellyn Powers, thu present incumbent, will be reelected, but all estimates as to his probable majority are more or less problematical. Tlie democratic candidate for governor is Samuel L. Lord, the present mayor of Saeo. He was a republican until 1872, when he followed Horace Greeley into thc democratic party. Outside of his own city he has heretofore taken little interest in polities. The prohibitionists nnd populists also have candidates in the field, but neither is expected to poll more than a handful of votes. Falcon Island Is No More. Victoria, B.

Dr. Menzies and his many followers, but with the alien sheet that has, in addition to grossly misinterpreting the reverend gentleman, attempted to discuss questions of which it, is ignorant and taken upon itself with unpardonable effrontery, the task of attempting lo disturb certain Sabbath conditions that obtain in Canada and the Mother Land, and which are acceptable to the large majority of the populace, they having been found by experience, better calculated to train the younger minds and bring them in touch with those religious hopes and aspirations upon which this Great Empire has been built. ���' . - - - ' ��� **- *V* *v' *v* *v- ���'-'* **v* -*'* *V* 'tif* EDITORIAL COMMENT. �� 'ip' "Kf JtffitsJz. rti -7*.xCx_rfi s&rjfc vff sti- . ��� .^zi_i, The New Westminster tire is a sad illustration of the danger of conflagration that exists in all these western cities and will stop any further discus- bion on the question of e.xhorbitant rates oharged by Insurant e companies, Tbo Insurance is put down In this In- stance at $1,000,000; takiug the animal premium income of the l 'rovinoe at say S350,000, it wipes out more than three years earnings iu tho shape of gross premiums. We should like to ask tbe Nelson Tribune what it, thinks about municipal fire insurance now and where it thinks the insured at New Westminster would havo been if they had held policies with the municipality? Our issue of August _0th contains an article on muuioipal Ore insurance whieh in tho light of the New Westminster conflagration1 is interesting reading just now. An interesting article on Thc Occult Aspect of Drink is hold over till next week. It is an endeavor to show the true reason of the troubles that arise to man through Inebriety and opens up vistas of tho unseen dangers that beset us on all sides and is the outcome of considerable study along these occult lines. .1 udging from th�� number of Mattering remarks oust ujiqh us by a goodly number Of our citizens, and even as far west as Slocan lake, as lo the manifold improvement in Tho Nows under the new management, we have reason to hope that these, kindly wishes will eventually take tlie tangible form of substantial BUpport to the. end that we may bo able lo 1-0111111110 to be tbe means of supplying a weekly budget ol oot only.interesting, but at the same time, instructive news. (>'ir Kaslo contemporary has relieved ta SOU] this week with a column and a half of whu-t it calls its oreed, and like the mountain that labored, it ha* brought forth the proverbial mouse. We always thought the Athanadan creed of tbe Church of Kngland hard tu plow through but lb'o'r Uolcc's belief is on u par with a chapter from Burke's Study of .Melancholy or the Kcioieni.ioo Qangtte column. A very large number of our citizens were hure at thu ,'inu* ol Cho fire iu HJ4 and know ther ef lire wi ,t a horrible thing a conflagration is. Rowland, Nelson and other points have taken steps to collect a fund for thoBe who aro in distress at the present moment, tho former eit.y having sent in ovor $:$,000. Kaslo should join in giving a helping hand to lite unfortunate of New Westminster and the Major 1 should take immediate action to receive such < ,jit. ibutions as pcuplc may give, em in ��� o lid be a reflection ou us to know that, we hitd ignored tho cry for help tt ,n, Ji;is ;one up from Uie ruins oi iho Kuy-,1 City, moro especially aa ths city had a similar calamity a few y___rs *back. BY THE ROADSIDE. t The assignment of the Canadian Corporation Society, Ltd,of Kuskin, H.C., is a reminder that the world is hardly yot ripe tor these altruistic ventures. A similar colony in California went to pieces some time ago. Yet it would be unfair to say that socialism will never come for it is destined to supplant the present conditions of things social which shows wealth in the hands of tlio few ou the one hand and grinding poverty on the other and this was never meant to be. There is at present a colony at Ruskin, Teun., which is olaimed to be a success. As far as 1 understand it, it oost. $500 to buy a share and having secured this one gives one's labor in return for a share iu the general return, but no money is Been or taken, everything is done for the benefit of the whole. It is an interesting experiment hut there is always tlie danger of some one individual feeling agrievad and wrecking the colony as was done at Altruria,(.'al. # ��� * Keference to the .Mayan civilization elsewhere reminds me ofthe magnificent exploratory efforts of the great French traveller. Dr. Plongeon, and his wife in Yucatan. Evidences of a striking character have boon unearthed there amid a tropical jungle, of a vast civilization dating buck 10,000 years. Tho Orientals say that this civilization was a remnant of the once mighty At- lantean nation, which existed years ago ou a continent that is now submerged under the Atlantic ocean (hence the word Atlantic). This is the lost Atlantis referred to by Plato and others of less import siuce. What will interest Free Masons is the discovery of masonic feigns and symbols that wore used by the Mayans, thereby carrying back Free Masonry to what are known us aiitedoluvian times, as the subtnerg- anoe of Atlantic gave rise to the legend of the flood in Genesis, As a matter of fact Free Masonry existed wherever man has recognized and realized the brotherhood of man and that is beyond historic times, * * * If what Dr. Jxibaa reports to the press about the cruelty inflicted on the exiles in Siberia, George Keenan,s day has (Mine and in spite of tho contrary statements by experienced travellers, notably Dr. Lauskoll, his description of the horrors of tho convict system will have to be accepted as true. It is hardly conceivable that there are men who can, iu these days, passively inflict tortures on their brother men that equal thoso practiced in thc (lays of tho Inquisition; such treatment bears out the old statement .that if you scratch a Russian you will find a Tartar underneath. As to the many conflicting state- mollis brought home by travellers in ('rionlal lands of what they see it may Im broadly stated that they tea comparatively little of the inner life of the people. Take India, as an Instance; when the greal French oooyit traveller, Jacloiltt, came back from that country :ie suid he did not care to state what wonders he had seen for the simple reason that people would not believe him; wonders,compared with which all this fakir business that oue can see any day on the streets of the large cities of that country, ia mere peanut Jugglery. �� �� * There is a phase of the liquor question that has been overlooked in the discussion now going ou,as between the man who comes to town onee in awhile and goes on what, is known as a "tear," then goes away and does not touch liquor for two or three months, and the man who, though never drunk, still manages to got _*way with his minimum six glasses a day, the former is in a far better position, as life insurance companies will testify, in fact they are now very strict on the question of 'tippling," and an applicant has to answer positively as to how much liciiiii' he takes per diem. Tho constant dripping wears away the stone and constant strong liquor wears away the finer tissues of the stomach and induces dyspepsia and its attendant evils. Wanderer, IIOTKI.N AN'll RESTAURANTS. Central Hotel, FRONT ST., KASLO, 11. 0, A few years ago in parliament a London member sat down, after his maiden speech, on a new silk hat which ho had provided In honor of the auspicious occasion, and as he \v;is ruefully surveying bis battered head gear, to the amusement of the unfeeling spectator an Irish representative rose and gravely said: "Mr Speaker, permit mo to congratulate the honorable member on the bappy circumstance that when he sat on his hat his head was not in it." Tho ball of "order, order I" from tbe speaker, was drowned in roars of laughter.���Grip Ice cream served free with all orders from 6 to 8 p m. daily at the Queen. * I New Building.���Newly Furnished Throughou Best Rooms in the City A FIRST i i ,\ss BAR IN CONNECTION .REUTKR .t CO, �� i\-aiv- , ��� . CHANGES IN MININO LAWS. The following changes in the llriii-.li Columbia mining laws should becaro- fully studied by those interested in mining iu this Province: First of those refers to the location of fractious. In all fractions surveyed from now on, whether staked correctly or not, tho surveyor may adopt the boundary linos of the surrounding claims, provided no side exceeds 16001 feet in length. In other words, the lo-1 Cator is ,-ntitled to tlio vacant ground I that lu claims, even if ho does r.ot stake it In such a manner as to Include it all. which he seldom does. l!y a recent decision of the courts is prospector lo.t a claim because of inability to securo the post nocossary to mark the location. The amendment provides that in canes where claims are staked above the timber line, or the prospector can not securo tho necessary posts, be may erect monuments of earth or stoue. In staking an extension the posts are often planted so as tu form a wudge* shape fraction between two ends of the two claims. These fractions have often incurred greal expense, not only In recording and surveying, but in cases when; they carry the lead, and thus become of such value as to promote litigation. The amended net authorizes the surveyor to include such fraction, provided it does not cover more than 61,05 acres, the area of a full claim, and provided further that two location posts are together. By failure to record assessment work within the required period of one y,".r, either through oversight or the mle�� understanding of partnership interests, valuable claims have been lost. Now, if a prospector fails to record the work within a year, he has ;��) days' additional time in which to make the record by payment of an extra $10, provided that the work is done, within the year. Another ohange regarding the assessment work is in that particular which called for work to the amount of $100 each year. Now, a miner can do and record as many assessments as he. pleases in a year by paying the recording feo tor each assessment done to the extent of $100. Incase anybody should adverse an application for a certificate of Improvement and orown grant, the contestant must have his claim surveyed immediately and file a plan made and signed by an authorized provincial lam! surveyor with the writ. To obtain a crown grant in 188*3 it. was necessary to do assessment work to the amount of $.*idl) and to have the claim surveyed, whicli meant another $100. In isi'7 tlie act 'was amended so as to provide that up to May l, 1808,the cost of such survey should count tis work done on tho claim, not to exceed $itn). [n plain English, it oounted us an assessment and as work toward the orown grant. A survey generally costs $100. The last legislature extends tho lime to May I, 1800. Hereafter, in adverse proceeding; In oonneotlon with the title to mineral olalms, before any court, each party to tin-proceedings snail givo affirmative evidence ol title. Heretofore the bin-den of prim! was on the contestant. The fee for recording assessim ut work has been reduced from $'2."i, to 12.50. Heretofore tho toe for recording assessments has been BS conls higher than other fees. Anybody who pulls down alegal post elected to mark a boundary or location of a mineral claim, or any writing by law required to he thereon, is liable to imprisonment for six months or.a lino of $.!o0, or both. This is supposed to be directed particularly toward pro- venting tho use of old posts by people who restake a claim and sometimos destroy evidences of a prior location.

Tliere Is a perfect reason for the attachment of the Immigrant to the United states, ii |�� because It is the country of his choice. No portion of this country has ever been a penal colony, a Botany Hay or a Siberia. The Immigrant to the United states from the beginning has been a volunteer-one who considered the matter and concluded that his condition would be bettered in some way In the great, new, strong country beyond the Atlantic, where there was more hind, more room, more work, more money, mon* opportunity, more liberty for hliu and his children aud their children. Shrewd operators have become convinced that with the end of Ihe war will come a break in the mule market. This will be due lo two causes. Consumption of mule meal by the Spanish soldiery will cease, and the Government will enter the market as a heavy seller, with a large, variegated assortment of Inowns, blacks. I'laylmnks, offs. nighs and every oilier known species of Hie patient animal, (lood clay- banks Unit have been paying the Government 8 per cent ou tlie Investment since the war began, will cease declaring dividends and prepare for liquidation. Bell mules that have guided pink irains half over the province of Santiago de Cuba, will find their occupations gone and no fodder fur the hungry. Choice spring mules, just puss- ing the pin-feuther stage, good, little, bandy legged broilers, will fall off, along with the older Spanish boarding house favorite that used to work up Into salmis and ragouts and pale a la Torn! in Santiago before the advent of Shafter's army.

So, tn the war with Spain, we hnve developed worthy and effective lenders, the men of preparation, who, at Manila and Santiago, found their oportunlty. But this was solely because the American people aa a unit were ready and have done their part. Spain has not lacked men of mind, of executive ability, of splendid courage���men eminently fitted for successful leadership. As individuals, they may have been prepared; but as a nation, Spain was not. _ desperate bravery which occurred during our war with Tripoli. It Is hardly credible that this country once paid large sums to the piratical Harbary states for leave to navigate the sens without assault. During the administrations of Washington nud Adams th�� ships of our navy were several times employed In carrying silver coin by the barrel to the Dey of Algiers and the Bashaw of Tripoli. By command of the I>ey the American flag was hauled down from the mast of the George Washington, and his own Hag hoisted ln Its place, and the country suffered, for a long time without protest, similar Indignities from the Bashaw, At last the Insolence could be tolerated no longer, and war was declared. The next year the frigate Philadelphia struck a rock In the harbor of Tripoli, and waa seized by the enemy, the ollicers were thrown Into prison and the crew of three hundred men reduced to slavery. The Turks raised the vessel, and began to refit her for use. Lieutenant Decatur, lu a little vessel named the Intrepid, with a half-dozen daring young fellows crept Into the harbor at nightfall and made fast to the Philadelphia under pretense of wanting anehornge. As they grappled the huge ship the j Turks leaped to their arms, but tho Americans were already ou board. They drove the crew over the side, j heaped combustibles In the hold, set Are to them, nnd escaped In their Uttle boat to the war frigate waiting for them, while the Philadelphia burned to \ the water's edge.

A traveler Journeying through the north of England chanced to reach the door of au inn Just as a postman Stopped to deliver a letter. The young girl for whom ll was Intended came out to receive It. She turned it over and over in her hands and asked the price of the postage. The price demanded was a shilling, and as the girl was poor she returned It lo the postman, saying that It was from her brother, but that she had not that amount of money. The traveler, lu aplte of her protest, paid the money to the postman and handed the letter to the girl. When the postman departed the young girl admitted that she and her brother had arranged by certain marks upon the letter that the otlier should know that the writer waa In good health and prospering. "We are so poor," she added, "that, we were forced to invent this way of letting each other know of our welfare." The traveler continued on his way, asking himself if a system giving rise to such frauds was not a vicious one. The Bun had not set before Roland Hill (such was the traveler's name) had planned to organize the postal service on a new basis. His views found favor with the English government and on January 10, 1840, the first postage stamp was Issued and a postal system started by which not more than a penny was paid for letters which circulated over the whole extent of the British Isles. Ten years later, In 1850, the number of letters Increased from 1,500,000 to 7,239,902���Philadelphia Record. CHINESE SPANIELS POPULAR. QnaintLittle Creatnrea that Bring Bis Prices from Ilu. Pnnclera. The quaiut little Chinese spaniel Is the latest fad of the dog fancier. There was once a statute making It a crime punishable by death for a common person to be found with one of these dogs In his possession, and even now their price makes them a luxury for the rich. They have been bred ln their present purity of blood for more than two thousand years, and there Is a legend that a tiny black and white spaniel was the trusted companion of the wise Confucius nnd sat at table with him. The great round wall eyes, the short upturned nose, tlie bushy full and the silky hair are the distinguishing points of the Chinese spaniel. The more walleyed a dog ls the higher price he can command. The colors are white, black and white, brown, and brown and white. The doga are extremely small, and are hardy, affectionate and very Intelligent. The Blenheim spaniel of to-day Is a far different animal from the dog of the time of Marlborough, for about a hundred years ago they were crossed with the Chinese spaniel.

TO RUN FOREVER. l.ntr.t Device Toward Solving the Problem of Perpetnal Motion. For twenty-three years Samuel P. Kail, of Bast Lebanon. Me., has lived the life of a hermit aud for more than forty years has beeu most untiring lu his efforts to Bolve the problem of perpetual motion. His latest device of perpetual motion has a large pulley set In a standard. To the outer surface of the pulley are attached a number of tubes containing quicksilver, which acts as a floating weight In each tulie. As the pulley revolves a system of mechanism holds the tubes extended on one side, while they rise on the other side, the same mechanism allowing them to unlock automatically and hang pendant, Mr. Kail's Idea lielng that tbe tubes present less resistance wheu hanging pendant than when extended. As the tubes pass the apex of the pulley the quicksilver flows quickly down the Inclining tubes, constantly adding to their weight as they go. Mr. Kail believes thnt if he can succeed In governing the weight accurately he will be able to overcome the dead-center, The other Idea that he describes Is what he terms a double cross, the arms Imparting motion by melius of weights, the the Insertion of an electric wire. The missionary using It among the Indiana bad concealed in his clothing a small battery, which he connected with the prayer book. An Indian allowed to hold the book for a second felt a slight shock, and promptly attributed It to the power of the white man's religion. How It Came to Be Victoria. The primate had been told by the prince that he liked good historical English names that everyone could understand. What better name, he thought, than Queen Elizabeth. He mildly suggested "Elizabeth." "Ou no account." said the prince regent. "Charlotte, nfter your royal mother and the child's royal aunt." "Certainly not." The Duohees of Kent relieved her feelings by a flood of I ears. The Princess Mary kissed her and the baby cried. This spurred the mild archbishop. "What name is It your royal highness' pleasure to commandV" "What's her mother's name?" "Victoria," answered the Duke of Kent. But his intervention wtas met by an irate look from the regent.

The revolt of the natives of the Philippines la the result of Spain's worse i ban prehistoric methods of colonial government. Misrule on a gigantic and Inconceivable scale flourished ln this Island empire -"The Pearl of the Orient." The actual number of these Islands Is as yet unknown, for the Spaniard makes an unprogresslve pioneer, but tliere are estimated to be about 1,400 of them, great and small, nettling away Just north of the equator, The total area Is iu the neighborhood of 140,000 square miles. The population can only lie guessed at; perhaps 10,000,000 of souls is a fair figure at whicli to place lt. The native population Is of the Malay family, and from all accounts a Simple, easy-going people when left to themselves, but capable of both perseverance and courage of a high and commendable order when keyed up to tne lighllng pitch, There Is often a large admixture of foreign blood In the veins of these islanders, it may be either Spanish or Chinese, and this mixed race, "Metlsas," as they are called, forms one of the most lutlueutlal classes In tlie Philippines. The Philippine Islander has been probably the most persistently taxed creature the sun shines on in the world to-day, for the Spaniard's whole theory paid a tax of $14. This tax was collected, too. Any attempt at evasion was promptly and sternly dealt with; if the culprit was a man the tlmnii.'- screws were used, and if a woman she was stripped aud publicly beaten. But this poll tax -was merely the start. If the native was a small farmer, he must secure a license before he could pick and market the cocoanuts from his own trees. If he wished to butcher a cow or bullock or shear his sheep, or cut down a tree, he must first pay the Inevitable license fee. Should he fall in this he was sold out of house and home, sent to prison, or what not, according to the pleasure and whim of his Spunish master. He had to pay a tax if he owned a beast of burden of any sort���for this was Spain's helpful method of encouraging hlm to thrift. Every article of furniture he used was taxed.

The high standing of the California Fio Sirup Co. with the medical profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.
