BODY RECOVERED
Mystery Surrounding His Disappear
ance Has Been Partly Cleared Up.
Foul Play Suspected.
Special to the Bcrenton Tribune.
Plttston, Dec. 3. The mystery which
had surrounded the sudden disappear
ance of Farmer Soloman Brown, whose
horses and wagon were found last
Tuesday morning In front of the Forest
Castle hotel, where he had left them
the night before, was partly cleared up
by tho finding of his body this after
noon. During the past few days rela
tives had been making every effort to
find some clue to his whereabouts, but
without avail. Finally It was decided
to search the river and accordingly sev
eral friends went out with boats to
day. About .1 o'clock the body was
seen lying at the bottom of the river,
between tho first pier of the Lehigh
Valley's railroad bridge and tho shore,
In about six feet of water, a short
distance from where the wagon stood
on Tuesday morning. The body wns
quickly raised and taken to the house
of Charles Oyster, nearby.
The coroner was notified and em
pannelled the following Jury: S. L.
Geddes, Fred Gentz, Charles Oyster,
Charles RItter, John Wllllver nnd
George Stanton, sr. After viewing the
remains they adjourned to meet next
Wednesday In the town hall at Exeter
borough. Dr. Bevan performed a post
mortem on the body. There was a cut
about two Inches long on the front of
the head, but the skull was not frac
tured. There was also a scratch on
the side of tho forehead. How the man
came into the water has not yet been
solved and the county detective has
been In town the past few days work
ing on the case.
The last seen of Brown nllve was
when he left the Forest Castle hotel
about S o'clock. While In the hotel.
Brown, It Is said, was under tho In
fluence of liquor and had a warm al
tercation with some of those present,
and. It Is said, was one of the partici
pants of a fight. Therefore his sudden
disappearance aroused a suspicion of
foul play.
William Graven, a colored man em
ployed at the hotel, was arrested this
morning on the strength of a conver
sation he had with a young lady on
the subject. When taken before 'Squire
Ehret he denied any connection with
the affair, but told several conlllctlng
stories and the 'squire sent him to the
borough lockup.
Several theories are advanced as to
the man's boijy being found in the
river, and the one most generally ac
cepted Is that for some reason or other
he went out on the railroad bridge and,
being under the Influence of liquor, fell
off the bridge. It is said that the man's
lungs were full of water, which would
indicate that he was alive when he
got Into the water, allaying somewhat
the suspicion of foul play.
Mr. Brown was about 52 years of age
nnd with his mother, sister nnd brother
lived on a farm a short distance above
Swartzwood's Eeddy. He was a broth
er of Frank K. Brown, n despatcher
for the traction company at Scranton.
After the post-mortem the remains
were taken to the man's late home.

EXPANSION CERTAIN
AS THE SUN'S RISE
LIVE NATIONS INVARIABLY
WIDEN THEIR AREA.
Prediction Mado That Before tho
United States Dots Through It will
Embrar.o tho Entire Wostorn Con
tinent nnd Clrcnm-adjftCont Islands
Hamilton a, Howard, esq., In the Wash
ington Post.
What Is to be the destiny of the
United States as a nation with regard
to expansion of territorial limits Is a
problem In whosu solution we can ob
tain little aid from the history of other
countries, in Its light we stand with
out an exact counterpart.
Most governments have had their
origin In wrong or violence; nnd their
object has not been so much to pro
tei t the weak ngalnst the strong as
to subject the former to the latter.
History Is but a continued Illustration
of this gloomy truth. And the God of
Nntlons has seen fit, apparently to
smile upon those whoso birth was In
guilt and whose sovereign ruie was
but a perseverance In violating the
mornl law. Do such nations, only, pro
pitiate His smiles? Shall this dark
and mysterious dispensation continue
to the end? Was the political asso
ciation of a few hundred robbers,
banded together for plunder and mur
der, a more certain omen of the future
greatness of Rome? Was the Invasion
and subjugation of the Island of Brit
ain by a clan of Saxon freebooters a
surer presage of the coming greatness
of tho Anglo-oaxon race? Were the
Idolatarles of tho founders of ancient
Egypt, Assyrln, Babylon and the hor
rible Juggleries nnd sorceries practiced
to keep the people In subjugation?
Wore the butcheries of Spain on this
western continent alone were nil
these things more obvious Indications
of the future greatness of those states
than were the high and holy resolve
of our forefathers, their struggles, nnd
their martyrdoms, of the future great
ness of their own nation? May wo
not hope that even In this world the
right, the pure, and tho good shall be
prospered? Or aro these words, when
applied to nations, merely empty
sounds?
THE CASE OF ROME.
Ancient Rome, which existed as a re
publlo and an empire for 1,400 years,
took its beginning In the midst of the
petty Latin tribes Inhabiting the left
bank of the Tiber and occupying a
territory not exceeding In extent an
American county of the usual size. Its
liberties were not like ours, the results
of long experience, nsrertatned and de
fined by the enlightened wisdom of
sages and philanthropists, sanctioned
by tho consent nnd usage of a numer
ous civilized people. They were, and
long remained, without commerce,
arts, letters or established laws. Pri
vate wrongs were often redressed by
prlvnle means. The martial spirit of
the people afforded t!n only evidence
thnt this little community would sur
pass Its neighbors in historical re
nown; nnd yet, had Numa 1'ompllius,
Its first great ruler, been gifted with
the prophetic spirit of the seer, ho
would have seen his Infant nation rls
ing into fearful strength; ho would
have soph all tho adjoining Italian
tribes united, one after another, to
this then contemptible hamlet of Rome
and the right of voting in the popular
elections nnd In tho enactment of her
laws extended to tho dwellers of the
Adriatic, the Po, the Alps, the Rhone;
he would have soon Carthago demol
ished hv Roman arms and her terri
tory reduced to a Roman province: he
would have seen the political power
and wisdom of that r'slng nation In
creasing with equal pace until under
Its wise maxim of "inhabiting where It
conquered," it had extended Its do
minion. Its colonies. Its language nnd
laws over neaiiv the then known whole
world. He would hav neon his emnlr.'
extending from the wall of Antoninus
eastward, embracing Britain. Franco,
Spain. Germany In short, all Europ
until Its territorial limits were lost In
the distant flnst- containing a region
more than 3.000 miles In length from
east to west, more than 2 000 miles In
breadth from north to fouth. and an
area of more than 1.C0O.005 Fquare
miles about twle that of the thlrtn
orlclnnl states of tills republic. He
would hav"seen (hat all these vast
acquisitions wro the results of a well
organized mllltnrv power, upheld by
the undying patriotism and love of
glorv of thr Roman people, the stern
pride and the still sterivr dlsclnllne of
the Roman soldier. Tie would have
Feen on nggrecrato of about '.'0.000 003
free Roman citizens dominating over
at least 40,000.000 of cnuquered sub
jects, end owning and possessing more
than 0n.OM.noo of slaves- a fiandlng
nrmv of P.TS.OOO men divided Into three
regular leclons, nnd distributed union,?
the provinces of the cmnlre. al In
numerable stations from Rome to St.
George's Chnnnel, on the Rhine, the,
Rhone, th Seine, the Tagus, the
Thames nnd the Twepd. nnd from
Ponio eastward to the Euphrates, on
the Danube thf Dnclper. the eastern
shores of the Mediterranean, on the
Nile, n'd even on tlio Persian Gulf, a
naval force of r.0.000 wen; the Latin
lanpuac" diffused throughout the
whole of this Immense expanded cm
nlre. and Roman colonization extend
ing Itself In everv direction, carrying
with It th arts, the manners, the let
ters, the liberties, tho genius of the
great Central Cltv. Though tho lesson
of civilization nnd progress wa
taught at the nnlnt of the Roman spear
the nations have learned much from
the Bleantle efforts of that race.
NOT AVERSE TO WAR.
Whoever consults our history or the
genius of our people will discover that
wo are as little averse to war as other
nntlons.
A fondness for war Is beyond doubt
nn element In the character of a demo
cratic republic like ours. War gives
scope to Its enterprises; it Is Itself the
sovereign who wages tho war; It ap
propriates to Itself all the renown of
Its achievements: tho glory of Its vic
tories Is radiated by no crowned head;
and when the government Is such as to
constitute the people one common
brotherhood, each member feels that
ho Is particularly concerned In It. In
deed, by fur tho most bloody, obsti
nate, and glorious wars have been
waged by republics, and we repose up
on a false hope If we expect that In
this respect wo shall bo exempt from
the common lot of nations.

ERIE MEDICAL CO., BufFALO, N.Y.
iPcrhapa our own national history
offers a solution of the problem of our
future. Whatever may bo the fate of
the Constitution, Is not this nation to
continue to extend Its limits and aug
ment Its power by force of arms? Tho
strange nnd unprecedented mode of ac
quiring territory by more purchase.tho
Inst Instance being tho case of Alaska,
hog In it something too commercial to
constitute tho permanent policy of a'
great nation; and It must be remem
bered that hitherto It has been applied
only to comparatively unpeopled re
gions, or those which at best hail no
domestic sovereignty. Such a thing,
however, as the expansion of our ter
ritorial limits was never contemplated
by the framer of the Constitution, nnd
no such power Is grnntcd, except as an
Incident to tho war-making power. The
old stntes supposed they were estab
lishing a government which should bo
their own, not one In which In after
times their Influence should bo merely
nominal, and whose administration
might pass Injo tho hands of strangers.
Little did they think that In the short
space of twenty years, from the time
of signing the Instrument for their
"more perfect union," a territory out
measuring their own country and suf
ficient In Itself for an empire would be
annexed to tho paternal domain, nnd
this on terms of perfect equality of
political rights.
THE FIRST EXPANSION.
What did the national nrnnleponpn
In this act show but that the people
themselves were even nt that early day
far more covetous of power nnd do
minion than careful of the restricted
letter of their own Constitution? The
same popular ambition annexed Flor
ida, California, Texas, Oregon, Arizona,
and Alaska; the same spirit has ex
tended tho theater of Its efforts over
the Sandwich Islands, the Philippines.
Porto Rico, and will also over Cuba
yes, and even Canada and Mexico! The
more it Is enlightened, the greater wilt
be Its demands. Why? Because knowl
edge, property, power always seek to
extend thel:- Influence.
Whnl has been thus far the extent of
our territorial expansion? Pardon me

recent one with paln, will be waged;
armies,' like those of the Did W-r'd. or
the late civil war of lSfiJ-fir,, will en
counter each other. Wnrshlns and
cruisers alreadv surpassing those of
even Great Britain will cirrv out
thunder from the mouths of the St.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Btreet Review.
New York. nee. 2. Today's stock
market was sluggish and dry feeling
throughout. Tho closing wns dull, but
distinctly easy, the downward drift
having established a liberal sprinkling
of net losses where flic level had been
higher throughout In the early deal
ings. Sugar and glucose were strong
on the reported plan for consolidation
and absorption of competitors. There
wero evidences of strength In Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Burlington
nnd Chcsupeako nnd Ohio, and In one
or two of tho 'ess prominent Indus
trials. None of the gains were well
maintained, tho whole list being af
