on
the prineiple of expansion and acquisi-
tion on their own continent the results
are of the best. It is l'ke a fuiry tale
to read how the country hus been en- |
riched by the early acquisitions of
Jefferson and the later ones of Polk
and Pierce, They added valuable and
pecessary territory, inviting millions
of homogeneous population, and in-
creasing immeasurably the power and
grandeur of the Union, And not only
that, these acquisitions have bettered
and advanced the whole humsn race.
Yet these grandest achievements of
cur history actually cost us less than
one year's outlay in the Phillipines,
where the people do not want us, and
where the Americans will not go, ex-
cept as soldiers, speculators, gamblers
and saloonkeepers, That is the history
of the American occupation in the
Philippines, As an investment it has
brought us no gain, only dishonor an |
d sgrace. Our soldiers have fought
bravely, but the memory of cruelty,
torture, the killing of prisoners, all
“ pot under ten,” with the water
cure, starvation and thirst, will Jast
longer in hastory then the record of
Spring Mills.
As a sequel to the matrimonial ad-
venture spoke n of a week or two sinee,
of an odd looking “fish” from the
west, arriving here for the purpose of
securing a wife, fully armed with all
kinds of credentials and testimonials
us regards charscter and worldly pos-
sesslons—evidently all bogus, fur he
actually had the impudence apd as-
surance to call upon one of our promi-
nent ecitiz ns to solicit a loan until he
visited 1 e’lefonte and had an inter-
view with his old friends Gen. Hast-
ings and Ex Governor Beaver, and
either ove would immediately relieve
him of his present financial embarras-
ment. The gentleman addressed how-
ever, was too well informed to be hood-
winked by any such popeense and in-
dignantly refused the request, so the
western fraud left our village without
obtaining a wife or even a small loan,
and in his perplexities and disappoint-
ments, actually npeglected to pay his
hotel bill.

tining our acquisitions to our own con-
tinent, Alask cost us $7,000,000 and
not a life. The Philippives
have cost us $300 000,000 from the start
| and not less than 8,000 American lives,
with five times that number of Filipi-
nos, men, women and children.

It is regretted to hear that the joint
master geveral and the secretary of the
treasury to consider the post-check
currency scheme for the transmission
of small sums of money safely through
the mail, and expected to be of especial
value in rural communities remote
from & money-order postoffice has
reached the decision that it is imprac-
ticable on several accounts. The chief
reason assigned is the confusion that
would ensue from double bookkeeping.
The board will recommend, in place of
the post-eheck scheme, the adoption
of a slightly modified form of the Can-
adlan monpey-order system, which fur.
nishes engraved notes for different
small sume, beginning at 15 cents and
running as high as two dollars and fif-
ty cents. The board will propose that
the United States fractional notes run
no higher then two dollars. It is pro-
posed that for each note, whatever its
size up to one dollar, one cent be
charged, so that for two or three cents
at the outside almost any sum can be
procured by combination, up to the
point where the money order proper
would come into play. One-half the
fee would goto the carrier who sells
the notes, the other half to the Govern-
ment.
