Phila delphia Times. Here Is the milk in the cocoa nut of great many of the. Kaslern auli cxpansionists, says the Statesman. They are willing to concede that Porto Kico and even Cuba arc "homogeneous" territory. Of course. They lie near the Atlantic coast, and they have a prospeclive great trade. This will be profitable for Phila.lel phia, Boston, Haiti more and New York. But the Philippines are on the other side of the world. They are close in point of convenience and cheapness of freight rates to San Francisco and Portland and Seattle to the Pacific coast cities. Therefor they are not boinogCDCOus" terri tory. Their trade may help to build up rival cities here on the sunset shores. This may hift the center of population and the seal of empire and wealth westward.

The association of Admiral Dewey's name with the presidency has drought foith comments from differ ent quaiters that military or naval heroes have rarelv made good na tional thief magistrate. As a matter of fact, the real soldiers who have lived in the White IIoue have been among the best of presidents. Among those soldiers who have occupied the executive chair were Washington, Juckson, W. II. Harri son, Taylor and Grant. For a century no oi.e has been cliso?ei to criticise the administration of George Washington, hith wns Hint of a patriot. Pal lisanship ran !iigh in the days of Andrew Jack-on. Iut the j verdict of later years has been that in spite of bis rough ways, kitchen" ; cabinet and ordinary nature, lie was one of the sturdiest of American and a crr-'lit to his country. What IIrrion and Taj lor inuht have become as j residents was never known, because of untimely decease, and after them Grant was the first man to be diawn from the ranks of the army. Ilis administration of eight years waj not of the best, for It was tho era of recklessness follow ing the war, when many new men bad come to the front, and most of them were on the make. Grant, ho bad been a Democrat all bis life, be came the Republican candidate in I SOS, large')- because the war bad been brought about by the triumph of HepublicanUtD in 1SG0, and with no experience of any value ouUide of the army, he was often imposed upon. Ho stood doggedly by bis friends, even when they wcie un t orthy, but In spite of mistakes made during the feverish years from lf08 to 1874, the general verdict is that General Grant was an honest man, one of the best of patriots, and a hero who never intentionally did a wrong. When Dewey's name is mentioned it Is customary to say that he would be co more successful as president than was Grant. The two men in their bringing-up and associations are wholly different. Grant had had a somewhat featureless career on the frontier, aud for forty years, up to the time of the capture of Paducah and later Henry and Donelson, bis life had been a conspicuous failure." He knew little of men, manners and the world, even when elected to the presidency. Dewey, ou the other band, has been brushing up against the world for forty years. He lm been everywhere, lived for years in Washington, met statesmen, poli ticians, diplomats and men of affairs. He is net tee raw product Grant was when the latter tame to Washington and was hailed as the greatest man of his time. The shadows of coming events in dicate that the beads of the two tickets of 1 890 will again ask fur the suffrages of their fellow-countrymen, but of all the military and naval heroes of the century, who have There was a very important truth in the remark President McKinlej recently mule at a town in South Dakota, that the "little folks wiil have to get a new geography. We have a good deal more tei ritory in the United Slates than when we were S boys." Mr. McKiuley is still in the pnrlv nrime of life, but the man of . , c.... , ,.

The place in which j be spoke at South Dakota was part of the United States at the time of the president's birth in 18H, but it was in the great wilderness and was in habited by only Indians and wild beasts, except at a few s;oU where there were military osts or trading stations of the fur dealers. The ri. ...... .i i ,i. ,.i ISillWlUS "VIC IIJC UUItlillg IIUM0 Ul lue SiOUX, seven years and the president was of age before the first section of that stale to be given up by the Indians was ceded to the government. The first jieruiancnt settlement in South Dakota, tint at Sioux Falls, was not started until the president was thirteen years old, yet Soutb Dakota Una now 400,000 inhabitants. , At the time the president was born the United States was engaged in a long controversy with Great Britain as to the ownership of the legion called the Oregon country, comprising all the terntory west of the Rocky Mountains and north of the present northerly line of Califor nia, Nevada and Utah the locality divided up into Oregon, Washington aud Idaho, with part of Montana and Wyoming. This region did not be come United Stales territory until llC. A year before that lime, when the president was a year old, the republic of Texas was annexed, and three years later, in 181H, the great domain then called Ne Mex- jco and California, which comprised, in addition to tho present territory aud state of that name, Arizona, Utah, Nevadand pait of Colorado and Wyoming, was added to thy possessions of the United States. Nobody, of course, thought ot that time, or for many years afterward, of the annexation of Hutsian Ameri ca, which has fig111"6'! n the American maps of the past thirty-two years as Alaska. The president was twenty-five earsofage when the present Ger man empire and kingdom of Italy came into being. The boundaries of Austrla and Fiance have been altered since 1844 more than once by cut ling off aotno territory in one part of each and adding a little on another part, liussia lias appropriated in Asia in the past fifty four years a tract almost equaling iu dimensions its territory in F.uropc. Turkey has lost territory in Euroio and Asia aud now occupies a much smaller spaco ou tho map than it filled half a century ago. The sound of Kng land'. drum beat, which, in Webster's words,' was already circling the earth, is beard today in many spots on the globe, which did not know it In tho 40s. Spuin, the first of the nations on whose dominions tho sun never set, has virtually shrunk to the di mensions which it had before Colum bus slartc l out on his first voyage across the Sea of Darkness. On all sides the map of the world has been changed in the past half century, and iu no part of the earth has there been more striking changes than those made in the boundaries of our own country. The maps of the United States drawn when the presi dent was a year or two old, and bich put its western bound ry at the Sabine, the red and the Arkansas rivers and the Kocky mountains, would not readily lie recognized by the average American of today. The capture of two of the best fighting regiments in Ihe British army is a facer for Kngland, but nothing else could be expected when it is consideied tbey are outnum. bercd, their forte being 10,000 against 50,000 Boers. But ju.-t as the union recovered from Bull Kun, so will the British come out of this, says the Walla Wt!la Statesman. Of course many will icjoioe just ts the coperhcads did in the north over the reverses of the federal troops. The royal Irish fusilers have always had a reputation fur fighting, and twice in their history have had their ' colors taken from them for not obeying orders to retreat.
