Then the next difficulty is, where to find a machine man who does not carry the same heavy load. An honest man does not suit the machine, and a mdchive man will not suit the people—there’s the rub under is WHEN a poor man tells you that wealth is pot an enviable prize there is always a suspicion that he might think otherwise if be were rich.

The treaty will go to the Senate on Monday, and if ratified, al that will remain to complete the transac lying south of tion will be a plebiscite of the islanders approving annexation the States. The price to be paid Denmark by the United States is $4,000 000. The islands have less area than county, and twentieth to United Allegheny a population about ove. this Their chief commercial advantage to this country will be that St. Thomas has a splendid harbor, and that the group of islands will be contiguous to the Atlantic side of the isthmian canal, at least for naval strategic purposes. St. Thomas is a great coaling harbor for the West Indies, and more than 100,000 tons of coal that goes there from the United States are handled annually.

The tariff du. ties are the cause of it all, for by pro bibitive tariffs the trusts monopolize all, and advance prices on all consumers Another evidence that farming is unpro fitable is the fact that there are many farms for rent with few seekers to be come tenants, Mr. Long, who Is the ‘owner of ten farms in this section, the Centre Democrat is informed, does not have an applicant for any of them, and the reason is because tevants find it no longer profitable to work farms. There was a time within the recollection of the writer, when there were from ten to if. teen applicants for each farm from parties desiring to become tenants; now it is the reverse, there are perhaps that many farms to one renter.

Instead of a cheap Insurrection, our purchase turns out to be a $400,000,000 affair at least, and there is no limit to the possible expansion of the figures. The greatest luck Spain has had in three hundred years came to her in Manila Bay and off Santiago.~—Philadeiphia North American (Rep.) Andrew Carnegle has made between one and two hundred million dollars, enough to make 15 to 20 thousand fam. flies, 75,000 people, very comfortable, by means of the protective tariff that robs the many to enrich the few.

The good people of Philadelphia are not easily shocked by the doings of their politicians, but the appointment of a man who has Just been detected in attempting to swindle the state while serving on an Investigating committee of the legis lature, stirred them mightily, They sent a delegation 0 Washington to remonstrate with the president against this galling indignity, but in vain. The would-be swindler was appointed consul at Matanzas. The war with Spain swept away a great many abuses of one kind aad another, and it was supposed that Baylor's consulship bad gone with the rest, but now it appears that he was only re served for a more important position at the capital of the Klondike, where the disgrace of his appointment will be more conspicuous and glaring than could be in a second-rate Spanish.
