IMwd, The preee dispatch of yesterday' pro ceedings In the senate speaks of one of Vest s tirades as teeming with "those graceful, catchy phrases for which he is noted." It haa long been notorious that certain senators make a practice of subaidiiing the newspaper corres pondents to give them flattering prom inence m the accounts of debates sent out through the country. Vest Is evi dently one of the most generous of this nk of fake statesmen. No man of any sense who knows George Graham Vest personally would give him any credit for originality or oratorical ability. He is nothing but a cheap, shallow and wholly insincere demagogue, who never says anything on the floor of the sen ate except as a studied effort for effect and notoriety. He hasn't got a drop of patriotic blood In his body, and in all the years that his Ignorant and prejudiced constituency has kept him in the senate, the record shows he has never proposed a single piece of wise and beneficial legislation." D. R. Fran cis is a thousand times abler man than Vest, and there is more honesty in his little finger than In Vest's whole body. Decent people in Missouri used to hope that Vt would be succeeded In the senate by Francis or some such respec table Democrat, but the present Popo cratlc hayseed legislature of that state will probably curse the country by the Infliction of Vest's presence in the sen ate for another term of six years. Hw.tblower says as to Cuba, but he Is wrung aa to Hawaii, as he la wrong also In his tutorial km of Jingo tendencies to the Incoming Republican' administra tion. The condition and grade of In telltgtMV among the native population of Cuba and Hawaii, are vastly differ ent. The negroes In Cuba are almost as barbarous as those In the interior of Africa, and their hoodoo worship and other heathenish practice have boon th strongest evidence of the Improper rule In Cuba of the Spanish authorities. Reside this, Cuba's negro population constitutes a large majority over the prevent white Inhabitants, and under an Independent government or annexa tion to thl country, there is every natural reason to believe the ascen dency of this element would continue. Haw-all's natives, on the other hand, are all .civilised, and many of them rank well with the white In Intelli gence and education. Another differ ence Is that the whites already control the Hawaiian govemnx'nt. and under annexation there would be such an In flux of white people that the native population would be left In a hopeless minority. These are some of the rea sons why it might be good policy to annex Hawaii but bad policy to annex Cuba. Of course there are those who say that Cuba need not be annexed: that she need only be assured her Independ ence and protected In It. but the his tory of all Independent-government ex periments so far tried In the West In dies Is that the civilise,! and Industrious elements of the population were worse off under home rule than under the op pression of the old country. And so It would be with Cuba,, with the result that after a few years of 'internal strife and bloodshed, the United States would be forced to step In and take possession of the Island. This would probably be done with the purpose of establishing only a territorial form of government, but there are not enough office to go around now In some sections of the country, and It wouldn't be more than a month before a sentimental agitation would be started to admit the island as a full-fledged-state; and the consequence would be that In a few years another set of yahoo representatives would be found In congress voting for the crip pling of Northern Industries and yawp, ing for the destruction of national cred it.

V, 1th a short, easy and safe entrance, a depth of water sufficient to accommodate the largest vessel afloat, perfect shelter from the heaviest storm that blows, fresh water and plenty of it, with room enough at one time for all the vessels In the navy, this harbor offers more ad vantages as a naval station in time of peatt, and would be more valuable as a base of offensive and defensive opera tions in the event of war than any ether point on either coast One of the wonders of our naval history is that these facts have not been recognised and utilized long ago, but it Is proba ble that the absence of railway connec tions has had much to do with this strange lack of appreciation. It is un likely that the government will locate any mor? drydocks on the Pacific after the construction of the two now propos ed in the next century, and if Oregon's representatives in congress permit these new docks to go elsewhere than In the Columbia river it will be a fatal blun der, both from the standpoint of the government's Interest and the develop ment of Oregon's resources. The Cham ber of Commerce ought to appoint a standing committee to look after this one Bubject, and when the right time omes no reasonable amount of money ar energy should me spared in bringing the claims of Astoria harbor to the at tention of our naval authorities. CUBA AND HAWAII. At a recent meeting of New York bankers, at which there were present and participating ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchilil, ex-Comptroller of the Currency Trcholm, and Judge Horn blow ?r, Mr. Cleveland's first choice fur the vacancy on the supreme court occa sioned by the death of Mr. Justice Jack son. Mr. Hornblcwer in his remarks said: "There Is great danger that the party "In pow er may go too far, especially In "paternalism and Jingoism. I have as "much patriotism as any man. Uemo "crats have shown their patriotism by "voting against their party. But when "you talk of annexing semi-civilized "or uncivilized states, jingoism goes "too far. We have admitted half-baked "states, and we have reaped the re "ward. Much of our trouble Is due to "that... We have given Idaho, Utah, ?Wyqmlng and Montana the -same In fluence In the senate as New York, '-'Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and 1111 "nois. Are we to add Cuba and Hawaii? "Under the fifteenth amendment every "Ignorant negro in Cuba and all the "Hawaliana, who were uncivilized a "generation ago, will have a vote. The "fight will be against this excess on the "part of the Republicans, and it Is the "Republicans of wisdom an sagacity "who must make the fight." There Is much truth In what Mr. Hawaii would never do, because her cit izens would not send that class of men to disgrace her In the national legisla ture. So far as Mr. Hornblower's talk about the dangers of paternalism and Jingo ism under the McKlnley administration Is concerned, that Is probably Inspired by the small remnant of partisan pre judice which he has not yet got rid of. Mr. Hornblower with other public men la the country must know that on th Cuban question Mr. McKinley, Speaker Keed and scores of other leading Re publicans who will have to do with shaping the policies of the next admin istration, are in thorough accord with President Cleveland's message and op posed to any recognition or movement for Cuban annexation at this time.

She must have health, of course, because without It she would lose the brightness of her eyes, the fullness of her checks, and her vivacity. Real health must mean that a woman Is really a woman. That she la strong and perfect In a sexual way. as well as In every other. That she Is capable of performing perfectly the duties of maternity. Some are born with what Is called "constitutional weakness." Some who do not enjoy perfect health, need only take th prop er precautions and the proper remedy to become perfectly well and strong. rr.

FREE TO EVERY MAN THE METHODS OF A GREAT TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN. Which Cured Him ..iter Everything Else Failed. Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. Sle-p Is almost impossible, and under such a strain men are scarcely respon sible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until It was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential Inspira tion came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and ad dress may have the method of this won derful troatment free. Now when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. I am not a philanthropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands;tf men suffering the mental tortures it weakened manhood who would be ured a(.,once could -they but, get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mall the informa tion, but send for It, and learn that there are a few things on earth that al though they cost nothing to get they are worth a fortune to some men and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 3S8, Kalamazoo, Mich., and the information will be mailed In a plain, sealed en "Excuse me," observeed the man in spectacles, "but I am a surgeon, and that Is not where the liver is."

On that you can bet your gig- lamps." Chas. Rogers. No man who is Intoxicated, or whose breath is even tainted with strong drink, is allowed to take his post on a train on the Grand Trunk railway.
