That is our ultimatum. Laat year we hoped that the Lord would rend us a tnrkey by tbe hand ol some big-hearted, libera! and thrifty farmer, but we got left, this year we trusted to a ailrer dollar we bad laid by for the purpose and we got tbe turkey. Welt, tbe Lord made the turkey, but we bad to pay coin for it. In view of the many disastrous hotel tires and the almost inevitable loss of human life, tbe lawa of every state ought to compel every hotel ia the state to bare escape ladders proportioned in numbera to tbt capacity of the boose, and it should be tbe duty of government officials to tee that the law in that re gard be fully complied with. There it nothing to tucceeatnl as sue ceo. Tbt United States baa succeeded iaajoandlr thrashing old Spain. It ia tbt first and only good threshing she bat bad since Lord Howard trounced ber ia 1588 when be destroyed 12 ol Spain'a "luvlncible Armada" causing tbt Spanish commander, tbe Dukt of Mtdira, to abandon the invasion of England. He returned to Spain with only 51 sbipaof the 130 that proudly sailed from port, boasting tbat they would wipe England off the earth. Hpain affects to feel a wounded national pride to be forced to give op the Philip pines lo her conquerers, tbe United States. Mie did not seem to consider a natiou'a pride when she conquered tha Moors. She took all they bad and sold tbem into slavery. Her historians boaated of ber conduct then as the wise policy of the Christian sovereigns King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. There it a difference as to w boee ox it gored.

But notwithstanding, many have little lobe thankful for ia a temporal way, save, perhaps, good health, We, at a nation, baye reason to be thankful for the liberty we possess, the equality we bare before tbe law and the manifold blessings secured ut by our form of gov ernment. Aye, let ut rejoice at tbat and tbat no crowned bead claims our allegiance lo that dual body, king-craft and priest-craft which curses tbe old world. Yea, we should rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

ILIUM 1 I JJUI'.J TLgi lh "Open-DoOi" Pelkh. Tbt term "open-door" it being badly overworked nowaday! by Knglltli states men and newspapers, chiefly for tbt purpott ot influencing Americana in fa vor ot British policy In China. Ureal stress it laid upon the point that Itaf land, in ber ttrnglt tor an "open-door" to China, ia fighting tbt commercial bat tles ot the United states aa well at ber own. Incidentally the eatut argument and phraseology are invoked in discus s'ons ot Cob, To? to Moo, and the Thll ippinet, at they art to be under Amtri can rnle. The British contention it tbat the United Stale, having tuade great at pendltuiea la war, and having coma into ioMfBioo of new territories In the Wrtt iudite and in tbe Asiatic Pacific, should extend ilt i-ivilltina influence to all these possessions, should establish ata ble governments, stimulate commercial activity, bear all the additional burdens, and then open the markets thus ac Quired and developed to the dominant commerce ot England. Having bnilt op her own induatriea by a tateit of pro tection onlil the baa become the areateat manufacturing country in the world, and baring failed to control our home mar kets becanst of our tariff lawa, Eng land now seeks entrance to tha Philip plnrt, Cnba and Torto Iiico on tbe same terms as the government incurring all the expense ot war, annexation, and ad ministration in behalf ol thete islands. The "open-door" agitation ia in keep ing with all the traditiona ot British policy since the Inauguration ol Cobden lain in practice. Bat when the United States takee formal possession et tbe Philippines and the Hpanisb West Indiet all these ialanda w ill become part of the United States, and will he snbject lo tbe tame tariff lawa aa (bit country. There ebon Id be and will be no "open door" to them any more than there Js lo Call fornia, Florida, or Maine. There ia no more reasons why we should open our new markets to England than oor old markets. The restrictive tariff laws of Spain Lave already been modified wherever the United States government has taken paeaeesion of custom-houses. Tbe same course will be followed undoubtedly when tbt new territory comet formally nnder our ad ministrative eyatem. Tbit will be aa fair to England as to any otber foreign power, but it will not give ber any ad vantage over tbe Nation responsible for the improvement in conditions that will make all of tbe ialanda better mar kets (or tbe world. In view of the tame "open-door" fret trade fetich, the English newspapers are complaining of oor navigation laws ts applied to the West Indies, and are asking if the same policy is to be pur sued in the Philippines. Our navigation laws, like our tariff laws, bare been tbe subject of attack from Eoglaod ever ainee they were enacted. Tbe tariff lawa bae been the subject of party con troversy and have been modified from time to time. But tbe navigation laws stand practically as tbev were enacted a hundred years ago. These laws, passed ia 1793, were mod eled ou tboee which gave England ber enormoas commerce, and tbey gave to this country in tbe first two decades alter their enactment a large part of the carrying trade of tbe world. Eng land repealed, or rather modified, ber navigation lawa in lSl'J, and bat been laboring aince that timt to secure the repeal of tLe American lawa. But at our navigation laws laid the foundation of the wealth ot the United fctatea and attributed to the building up of a great morchant marine (which we loet largely through tbe hoetile activity of our prea ent adviser, Americans have clung to them iu the lace of a t English opposi tion. Nor will they be repealed now at the rrjueet of Eoglaud. The principle of protecting American interests will be extended to all the new American territory. Eogiand might at well ask for the "open door" to Alaska and for the modification of tbe laws gov erning oor coast trade in California and Oregon as to ark for free trade and free shipping in Cuba and tbe Philippines. As Thomas F. Bayard, in a movement of singular boldness, once informed an Eoglisb audience, whatever lawmaking it done In congress it done for tbt sole benefit of tbe United States, and not for Great Britain and Ireland.

We are waiting with much iuterctt to hear the result cf the Paris commission which is to decide tbe fate of the Philip pines.

I read a piece in one of the American papers about the women in Ibis country. It said they were beautiful, lithe, graceful, having black shiny hair and bright shining eyes. 1 think tbe writer was either "locoed" or had only been in this coun try for a day or two. The natives here are a class of people who are a study. It does not seem pos sible, that in the world there are human beings so low down in the mire aud filth and depravity as these people are. L'p to thirteen or fourteen years of age tbey wear exactly what the Americau school boy weara when he and two or three companions are off by themselves on a awimming expedition. from tbat on tbey wear very light clothing. Some ouly a cloth about tbe loins. Tho wom en urear for a tkirt a long piece of cheap cloth wrapped about the waist and tucked into a cord tbat 1b tied around tbe tat. Their tkirt waist consists of wl i is called a "camisa," which is manufactured from the fibre of the pine apple, and ia sometimes elaborately em broidered.. They wear no headresa, but sometimes wear a cloth wrapped in a coil on top of their bead, on which they car ry large baskets of fruit, fieh and other things tbat they wish to transport from one part of the city to the other.
