LEGISLATIVE REVIEW.

omission of any appropriations ror

In the campaign of next year is thus
explained by Senator Morgan:
"I hardly look for either expansion,
lmperallsm or trusts to cut any mate

my opinion, based on information tfe
rived from my connection with the
subject of foreign relations, that iwe
will hear very little about expansion
and imperalism a year hencej; There

republican friends In congress will
unite In bringing about such a result
as will make it difficult for the demo
cratic! party to make any political cap

There will be a fight, however, in
the republican party, to have the na
tional platform declare for the enact
ment of legislation putting the coun
try more firmly on the gold bais.

party will advocate the calling in of

THE MANILA PIG.
One of the curious sights to an
American visiting the, Chinese and na
tive quarters is the ever-present pig;
but as pigs are not allowed at la'rgf,
they have an ingenious method of
tying the pigs by the ears. They cut
a pmall hole through the pig's ear, onf-
half to an Inch In. diameter; through
this hole they insert a- rope, with a
large knot on one end. This rope se
curely confines the pig's liberties ktbout
me premises. The same sights arn
seen often on the native boats and
even on the small steam launches ply
ing on Manila bay. Transporting vim
through the streets of Manila always
attracts a crowd, although: the sight
Is common. The legs of the pig are
tied together securely and the pig is
then suspended on a Ionic Dole reri-"
Ing on -the shoulder of two native car
riers. The pig, with his leas up and
head down, makes about as much
noise while In transit as the la unr
