ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Our Opportunities in the Orient.
The markets for the products of our
farms and factories accessible by the
Atlantic ocean will soon be filled.
But across the Pacific are limitless
opportunities. Within a distance
from Manila not much greater than
Havana from New York live 400,-
000,000 of people, purchasing now
annually from all nations, of the
things which we produce, to the sum
of a thousand millions of dollars, of
which we furnish five per cent. And
yet with our Pacific coast and its en
terprising people the opening of the
canal across the isthmus and an
American merchant marine, that five
per cent, should be fifty. With rail
roads opening up these countries and
civilization stimulating their people,
the possible increase in their trade
dazzles the imagination. To relieve
home congestion, starvation and rev
olution, England, Germany and
France are increasing their armies,
enlarging their fleets, and either wag
ing war or are on the eve of great con -
flicts while partitioning Africa, threat
ening China, seizing Asiatic principal
ities and madly building railroads
across the continents of Asia and
Africa. By victorious war and tri
umphant diplomacy we nre in our
own territory within easy reach at
Manila of China, Slam, Korea, An-
osd), the East Indies and Japan.
Without war or entangling alliances
we will have equal rights with other
nations to the parts of the Orient,
with all that it means for the demon
strated superiority of our manufac
tures and the surplus harvests of our
farms.
This Is not a sordid view, nor can
any right apprehension of our Philip
pine policy or our relations to our is
land colonies be sordid or purely
commercial. In spite of ourselves we
have colonial possessions. We have
no polity to declare, and no glittering
resolutions or proclamations to make
In the future to embarrass us.
We will stamp out the insurrection
and establish a stable government.
We will organize local governments.
We will constitute courts. We will
Insure with the whole power of the
United States security for life and
property, freedom of religion and the
equal and just administration of the
law.

Swimming in Great Salt Lake.
New York Tribune.
Robert Bridges, of Boston, yester
day at the Hotel Manhattan told of an
experience he had once in the Great
Balt Lake of Utah. “I was staying nt
Balt Lake City with some friends,”
said Mr. Bridges, “and one day they
Invited me to go out to Garllold
Beach for a swim. After checking
oar valuables and donning our bath
ing clothes we assembled in the pa
vilion and made our way to the wa
ter. Up and down the sides of the
iucloaed space were runways leading
to the water, and at each was a card
showing (he depth of the water at
that particular point. ‘What depth
will you go into?’ asked my friend,
and being a six-footer and a gnillion
also, as it turned out, I chose five and
a half feet and turned off at that pas
sage. At the end of the runway stops
. lead down into the water, and when
1 was in waist deep I started off with
vigorous strokes, Intending to swim
up and join my friends. Never was
man treated to a greater surprise. I
Uty on top of the water, and as I
coaid get ueither feet nor hands down
it was with great difficulty that I
made even the few feet to the landing
stairs. Once there I hastened to re
join my party, only to be greeted
with derisive jeers and Inquiries as to
Imw I enjoyed my swim. It is great
fan, though, for you can lie on your
bock and Bmoke or read as comforta
bly as when in your bed, and it is ex-
hilirating also. The only way to pro
pel yonrself is to lie on yonr back and
paddle with your hands. Any other
mode of swimming fails. We waded
ont and found that at about four and
a half to five feet we could not keep
oar feet down.”
Female Weakness Cured.
I was troubled with severe female
weakness for over six months. I was
treated by six very prominent physi
cians without any marked benefit.
My last doctor was a skilled special
ist, and he told me my only hope lay
in an operation. I heard of Smith’s
Bore Kidney Cure, Bud after using it
for one month I find myself cured,
and even the doctor who last treated
me sow pronounces me well.

Meeting the President.
Youth’s Companion.
One of the President’s duties which
has its painful side is the almost in
terminable handshaking which ac
companies a Presidential reception.
Besides the physical exertion required,
the monotony of the thing must be
wearisome almost beyond endurance,
unless it is broken, ns no doubt it of
ten is, by some amusing incident.
When Mr. Cleveland was at Wel
don, N. C., during his flrBt term, a
great crowd shook hands with him.
In the middle of the line was a long,
lank countryman, who took the great
est interest in the scene.
At length he reached the President
and grasped him warmly by the hand.
“Well,” said he, “so you are the
President?”
“Yes,” replied Mr. Cleveland, “I
am the President.”
“Well,” continued the old fellow,
shaking Mr. Cleveland’s hand like a
pump-handle, “I’ve voted for many
a President in my time, but I never
seed one before.” He paused a mo
ment, and looking the President up
and down from one side to the other,
exclnimed:
“Well, you are a whopper!”
The President smiled and the crowd
laughed.
At another time Mr. Cleveland was
receiving r delegation ef teachers at
the White House.
“Dr. Lucky of Pittsburg,” said the
introducer, rb a gentleman stepped
forward to shake hands.
It had been intended that the other
teachers should follow in turn, but
somehow a dilapidated-looking old
tramp had slipped into line just be
hind Dr. Lucky. As he shuffled up to
the President there was a pause. No
body knew his name, and even the
tramp seemed to feel embarrassed.
The President mended the difficulty.
He extended his hand, and, with more
than his usual cordiality said, in an
encouraging tone:
“How are you, my friend? Your
name is Dr. Unlucky, I presume.”
The old tramp’s face relaxed into a
smile.

The Court-House vs. the Bond
Issue.
It seems that the county authorities
decided to have a now Court-house
without the consent of the people,
but left the question to the people hb
to how we would get money to build
it. Of course, there are many who
would vote for bonds, if we must
have the Court-house, that would op
pose a new one. It is said our in
crease in tax returns for three years
has averaged 7 per cent., and we
should note that the average increase
in the tax-rate has been 10 per cent,
per annum in eight years. If we as
sume that the increase in returns will
continue at the same ratio we can
reasonably assume, with expenditures
increasing at an enormous rate, that
the tax-rate will Increase at same ra
tio. Major Thomas truly says: “Taxes
are now simply enormous, but what
will they be when the bonds become
due, at the rate we are going?”
Is a new Court-house a necessity,
or is it a matter of pride? Is not the
one we have reasonably substantial
nnd respectable for at least another
decade?
If the tax-rate continues to grow at
its present rate our posterity will
have a very heavy burden to bear in
a few years. Geo. P. Hurst.

What it Cost to Protect the Uni
ted States for One Year.
Philadelphia Evening Post.
Tbe sub-committee of tbe House
Committees on Military and Naval
Affairs have reported the amounts
deemed necessary to enable each
branch of the defensive service to
protect the interests of the Govern
ment in the fiscal year 1899-1900. In
both cases present and prospective
demands are considered. The Army
Appropriation bill is the largest of
the two, calling for an aggregate of
$79,034,372. The cost of the Navy is
fixed at $45,158,605.
New battle-ships as planned will
cost $3,500,000 each; armored crui
sers, $4,000,000 each, and the small
cruisers $1,141,500 each—all exclu
sive of armor, armament and equip
ment, which in the first year call for
$5,200,000.
For our fixed protection in the line
of sea board defenses another bill
carries an appropriation of $4,744,798,
which is more than a third less than
the estimated requirements. These
three bills call for the expenditure of
the large sum of $128,937,775 for our
protection for a single year.

It is said that Faversham, the actor
proposed to his wife on the lake at
Prospect park. He asked her tender
ly if she would row in the same boat

“Same as now?” she asked, shyly.
“Yoh, the same forever,” said the
actor.
“Then I will,” she whispered, “for
I have the helm.”
Every Woman in the country
ought to know about
Mother’s Friend
Those who do know atxmt it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It lias robbed child
birth of its terrors for many a
young wife. It has preserved her
girlish figure and saved her much
suffering. It is an external lini
ment and carries with it therefore,
absolutely no danger of upsetting
the system as drugs taken intern
ally are apt to do. It is to be
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen the muscles which
are to bear the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning sickness and all of the
other discomforts of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, Ga., says:
“I have sold a large quantity of
Mother's Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to produce the good results
claimed for it.”
A prominent lady of Lam-
berton, Ark., writes: " With my
first six children 1 was in labor
from 24 to 30 hours. After using
Mother's Friend, my seventh was
born in 4 hours.’’
