Princeton, N. J., Dec. 7.—Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland was interviewed to-
day on the new policy of the United States,
and dictated the following for the Asso-
ciated Press:
“Without going at all into the details I
wish to say that l am ardently opposed' to
every feature of the annexation and ex-
pansion policy. The public ought to know
pretty well what my convictions are from
the Hawaiian question during niy adminis-
tration. I have not changed my mind and
am opposed to all this annexation, from
Hawaii to the Philippines,’’

Both Unalterably Opposed to. the Annexa-
tion of Foreign Terrtiory.
Boston, Mass., Dec. 7.—At a meeting of
the Anti-imperialism league today a letter
was read from ex-Secretary of State John
Sherman, saying:
“My hope is that, the senate of the
United States will reject the treaty and
leave the people of the islands free from
the shackles of Spain and the distant dom-
ination of the United States. I sympathize
with Aguinaldo in his ambition to found a
republic in the China sea near the equator
-and hope he may become the Washington
of a new nation, absolutely free from Eu-
ropean and American influence.”
More than 150 petitions protesting
against an imperialistic policy regarding
Spain’s colonies have been received, and
it -was decided today to begin to present
the petitions to the. senate.

ence was short, precise and to the point.

bers seemed to mean business all along the
line.

London Letter.
William Waldorf Astor's parly at Clive-
den last Sunday for Lord Kitchener proved
a case of “Hamlet’’ without the" Prince of
Denmark. All the guests assembled, but
the host had to announce that Gen. Kitch-
ener was'prevented - at the last' minute
from coming, having received an invita-
tion to visit the- princec-and princess- of
Wales at Sandringham. The prince of
Wales, on hearing that he had spoiled
the Cliveden party, wrote a charming
apology to Mr. Astor, explaining that the
princess of Wales had hot mi _ i
Kitchener, and this was her only chance
to do so.

Lieut. Clarence Wiener in North American
Review.
To solve the money problem, all Porto
Rican currency should be immediately
called in. The . baser metal not being re-
deemable in gold at face value should be
exchanged at bullion for the national
coin. The gold would be worth near its
face value—that is, a gold 5-peso piece
would bring about $4.75, a silver peso about
33 cents, copper about 2 centavos for a
penny. The paper should be received on a
silver basis, as it is not redeemable at face
value in gold, and its purchase will be a
total loss to our government.
Owing to the fact that all large land
owners and producers lived abroad the
native currency is very limited, and so
could be easily collected within a month.

Corry M. Stadden, in North American Re-
view.
Historically, the proposition to connect
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a
waterway is not new. Columbus was
searching for a passage to the far East
Indies when he discovered America; and
in the 16th century the Portuguese,
as well as the Spaniards, recog-
nized that with a water route across
'the isthmus they might compete
for trade in the east. Twenty-one conces-
sions have been granted by the govern-
ments of Central America for the con-
struction of a canal, and four of these
to the United States. The negotiations of
this government have covered a period of
nearly 80 years, and have been participated
in by every president since and including
Mr. Monroe. All have favored the con-
struction of an inter-oceanic communica-
tion across the isthmus, to be practically
under control of this government, open,
however, to the commerce of the world.
Numerous elaborate and expensive, sur-
veys with full details of every route pro-
posed, from Mexico to Colombia, have
been conducted by the United States to
discover the best practicable route. These
surveyors, the most competent engineers
and officers of the army and navy, have
concurred in the opinion that the pro-
posed route, by way of lake Nicaragua,
is the best.

Alfred Abeel, master commissioner

court here his report of the sale of the
Waco Northwestern branch to Wilbur

the manner in which the payment was
made, which, however, has been fully
covered by the papers. He says he has
$6115 cash on hand and asks the court for
orders for its disposition.
There is now in the registry of the court
at New Orleans nearly $300,000 to be dis-
tributed in this case. It is expected that
at the next session of court here Judge Velleda ^Br.)
Bryant will enter orders and finally dis-

but the bulk of this vast sum has been set
aside to satisfy judgments in the event
that certain suits now pending should be
decided adversely to the road.

A TRUCE TO GIVING.
The Significance of Christmas is Lost in
Crucial Tax of Social Giving.
Ella Morris Kretschmer in Woman’s Home
Companion.
There is no . sentiment, no, propriety, no
dignity, in such a scramble of giving and
receiving as Christmas now witnesses.
Gift-making within late years has become
a burden well nigh intolerable, not only
because of the expense, but because of
the actual physical and mental wear and
tear involved. In the matter of gifts it
ought not to be hard to draw the line.
There is a propriety both' of sentiment
and tradition in the exchang-e of family
gifts; certain near friends there are whom
we should remember in our Christmas
plans; and surely every one-able to give
at all should remember 'in some way the
unfortunate. But there is no excuse in
making these gifts an unwarrantable bur-
den—neither in the sense of time, expense
nor effort, save only where the element of
self-sacrifice is a joy to the giver, and
never a source of secret repining. The
mother who saves up to make her little
ones happy has a return, within herself
beyond gross price. But even she should
remember that a child will enjoy a single
gift, if it is something that has been
much desired, as much as a large num-
ber of gifts. AA^e can have no real pleas-
ure in the year’s greatest festival if we go
beyond either our means or strength in its
celebration. Whatever the size of our in-
comes, if we have any at all, we can have
our Christmas tree, our gift-making and
our feast; the only point being to gauge
the character of these several festival
features exactly to the length of our purse,
with no loophole for after-worry or un-
easy conscience.
Look at the
well-balanced,
absorbed in their work, standing together
in picturesque attitudes, faultless, proper,
and yet with a suspicion of a tilt to the
otherwise decorous angle of their shining
high hats. Then the grooms, lithe, active
and sinewy as the animals with whom
they almost live. Again, the bugler, with
his sliver-toned call, his flawless livery
suggesting intricate problems at the
thought of “when the day is over.” Turn-
ing. to the boxes, one sees “All the World.”
Looking back to the tan bark, all other
considerations are lost in. the excitement
of watching the handling of the women/
tandems. “The wheeler to have confor-
mation, substance, quality and action; the
leader to be a showy, well-brdd, ail-round
actor, with g d manners.” So read the
qualifications. It seemed as though not
one of the many teams entered could pos-
sibly come “below specifications,” except-
ing "perhaps in “good manners”—a clause
abounding in impossibilities, to judge by
the entrance of almost all the leaders,
and calculated to overturn many other-
wise good chances.

Big Planters Have Nothing'
Substitute for Cotton.
John Carlisle, one of the big planters of
Washington county, is on a visit to Gal-
veston. Fie has four or five farms, but
when he speaks of his place he refers to
the 3500 acre plantation on the Brazos
river near Chappell Hill. Mr. Carlisle was
seen this morning at the office of Wallis,
Landes & Co., where he was discussing
cottcn, sugar, onions, corn, freight rates
and farm subjects generally with Mr.
Charles L. Wajlis.
Mr. Carlisle says he is going to put in
just as much cotton next season as he did
this year. AVhile he isn’t in love with pres-
ent prices he apparently doesn’t see his
way, clear to cultivating a different crop
that would pay better.
Mr. Carlisle says there is a surplus of
corn in his portion of the state. You can
buy lots of it for 20 cents a bushel. He
raises some sugar cane, but only for
molasses. He gets 350 gallons of molasses
to the acre of cane.
Mr. Wallis was arguing with Mr. Car-
lisle on the idea of raising sugar cane on
a large scale in that section. Mr. Wallis
believes that the country is well adapted
for it and that the refineries are not too
far away. He also advocated the' estab-
lishment of a sugar mill at Eagle Lak'S.
Mr. Carlisle said that while he had
raised excellent sugar cane for the last
five years, he remembered something
“Dick” Willis had told him about Chap-
pell Hill being just one degree too far
north for sugar and that some time the
frost would kill out the cane.
Then Mr. Carlisle told of some experi-
menting he had with onions. He planted
some “Prize-takers” and raised 15,000
pounds, (267 bushels) to the acre. Mr. Car-
lisle didn’t seem to think that was a big-
crop. He sold the onions at various prices
—75 cents being about the average'.
This year he has quite a patch of onions.
Judging from the conversation of Mr.
Carlisle, the big farmers oz Washington
county-like himself and the little farmers
as well are perfectly willing to diversify
crops and are alive to the necessity for it,
but they don’t see what is the alternate
crop’ for cotton. If they raise corn they
get no price for it and if they raise cane
they are too far from refineries to give
them a fair return. They experiment with
onions and vegetables of that sort, but
they can only do that in a small way, for
when a planter has 3600 or 4000 acres half
a dozen acres in onions or potatoes is a
picayune affair. Tn the absence of know-
ing of anything better to cultivate for a
general crop the planters turn back to the
old stand-by—cotton—taking chances on
whether they will get 4 cents Expound or
8 cents a pound.
The reporter asked Mr. Carlisle how the
McCormick decision suited the farmers.
“Well,” said he, “it hasn’t advanced the
price of farm products, but it has ad-
vanced the cost of getting farm products
to market. It costs 30 cents a bale more
for me to send a bale of cotton to Hous-
; ton and 40 cents more to send to Galves-
. ton than.it did before. That wouldn’t ap-
• pear to be of much benefit to the farmer.”

To Be Run Out of Town Under the
Loafing Ordinance
• The police began this morning the work
of ridding the city of idle and loafing per-
sons. Recorder McLemore imposed heavy
fines on a number of negroes and two
white men and several others were noti-
fied to leave town. Following this the
police arrested six negroes and locked
them up on a charge of loafing. Chief
Jones says the town is full of bums and
loafers and that from now on the energy
of the department will be largely directed
against that class.
Aside from being mere loafers this class
is frequently vicious. They do not hesi-
tate at petty theft and under provocation
would commit graver crimes. It is diffi-,
cult to convict them of overt acts, as evi-
dence,is usually hard to secure, so the
police department ha.s decided to go after
them under the ordinance prohibiting,,
loafing. The chief says, he is going' to'
have the town.rid of all bums and loafers;
as near as possible by the holidays.

of fire rang out, and in a few mo-
ments following the southern
the city in the vicinity of
Fe depot was illuminated. 1
partment responded with alacrity, but
before it had time to arrive on the scene
the cottage of Sam Cohen, 1903 Preston
avenue, was a mass, of flames. The fire
spread rapidly to the adjoining residence,
which was occupied by Mrs. A. AVooley, a
widow, which was soon consumed by the
devouring elements. .Cohen’s property
was insured, but Mrs. Wooley’s loss was
unfortunately uninsured. The aggregate
damage done by the fire will probably
amount to $4000.
