Imperialism in to bring many
new thinjf*. and among the renta
new committee « í the houne,
which can be depended upon to
report ju*t Htich legislation con-
cerning the imperial colonies a*
may be ordered by bin majesty,
William I. I'ndcr ordinary cir-
cumstances, all bills introduced
in the house relating to new terri-
tory owned by the government
would be referred to the com-
mittee on territories. Hut the
chairman of the committee on ter-
ritories in the last house, who can
not be denied the name position
in the next house without a very
marked breach of courtc-y. is
under suspicion; so his committee
is to be supplanted, so far as the
new possessions are concerned,
by a new one which can be de-
pended upon. Whether the name
of the new committee has been se-
lected is not positively known,
but the proper name for it will be
Committee on Imperialism, for
such it will be popularly known.
There is also some talk of estab-
lishing a similar committee in the
senate, where there has already
been wrangling between the com-
mittee on territories and that on
foreign relations over the control
of bill* relating to the new pos-
sessions, but such a program
cannot be carried out in the sen-
ate as easily as in the house. The
republicans have a majority in
the senate, but there are a num-
ber of republican senators who
arc opposed to imperialism and
all its trimmings.
John R. McLean is confident
that he will be the next governor
of Ohio. He was in Washington
'or a day this week and he told
his friends that the prospects for
democratic success were improv-
ing cverv day and that he had not
the slightest doubt of his election.
He also said that Colonel Bryan's
sh >rt vi-it to the state was of
great benefit to the democrats,
notwithstanding republican state-
ments to the contrary.
A strikingcaseof bad judgment
and management on the part of
some officials connected with the
navv department came to light
this week, when it was announced
that the converted yacht Vixen,
whuh was recently ordered to
South American waters, would be
put out of commission and bropa-
I; 1 v sold. After the Vixen had
been fitted up with a modern bat-
tery and otherw ise equipped as a
gunboat, it w.is discovered that
there was not room aboard her to
carry a sufficient amount of pro-
visions for her crew, for even a
moderately long voyage. It is
evident that somebody neglected
his duty in not making this dis-
covery before the government
had gone to the expense <>f con-
verting the yacht into a gunboat.

The country has no reason to
fee! proud of the final action of
the naval board on construction
as to the plans of three new bat-
tleships, which were this week
determined upon, since it is ad-
mitted, even by the members of
the board, that thes" battleships,
when completed, will be inferior
in almost every respect to the
latest battleships of Great Brit-
ain, France, Germany. Japan and
Russia. Because American crews
are the best in the world is no
reason why millions of the peo-
ple's money should be spent in
building inferior ships for them,
and congress shtnild prevent the
construction of these vessels. If
we can't build battleships equal
or better in every way than those
other nations arc building, we
had better build none. The board
also decided upon the plans for
three new armored cruisers. The
oddest part of this whole business
is that, although these six war-
ships are to cost more than $30,
m>, not one of the famous
fighting officers of our navy were
consulted or even asked to make
a suggestion to the board, which
is composed of naval officers who
are able theorists, but no good
as fighters.

Senator Proctor has not given
up the idea of holding* Admiral
Dewey in reserve as an anti-Mc-
Kinley candidate for the republi-
can presidential nomination be-
cause the McKinlev crowd suc-
ceeded in alarming the admiral
about his health to the extent of
causing him to abandon his in-
tended trips to Atlanta and Phila-
delphia. On the contrary, he is
more determined than ever, and
the announcement that Admiral
Pewev would make trips to the
South and the West in the early
spring is understood to be due to
Procter's influence; and a friend
of Proctor's said that the McKin-
lev crowd had played right into
Proctor's hand by keeping Dewev
quiet this winter, as a boom
! started in the spring, if the con-
ditions seem to warrant one, will
be much more likely to be effect-
ive than one started at this time.
Admiral Dewey is now a Wash-
ington real estate - vvner, the deed
I for the house purchased
(for him with the £50.(MM donated
for that purpose being now in his
1 possession.

A HUSBAND
SAYS:
" Before my
wife began vising
Mother's Friend
she could hardly
get around. I do
not think she
could
get
along
without
it now. She has
used it for two
months and it is
a great help to
her. She does
her housework
without trouble."

i mothers to use. It gives them
strength to attend to their household
duties almost to the hour of confine*
; ment. It is the one and only prepara-
¡ tionthnt overcomes morning sickliest
