Congress lias at last faced the ques tion of an inter-oceanic canal and grappled with the great problem in earnest. Thesubj-ct has bet n b-- fore the American people for mo e than fifty years, and through all tho‘C years it has been studied by thought ful menjin and out of Congress, but the nature of the discussions lias been more in the line of theory and specu lation than of action and accomplish ment. The project has always been regarded as one of the great tilings to be, but the occasion lias never before seemed to come for prompt and con certed action. At last the Ui.bed States have grapph d with the great enterprise, and when the United States grapple with anything something bus to give way. Tibs is a big country with big ideas and world-wide plans, and it is backed by resources which ore practically inexhaustible and which to any other age would have seemed fabulous. At this writing a vote has not been reached in the house, but the issue is fairly sprung, and the final vote will come. There is much opposition and many complications; the former not to the canal itself, hut to undertak ing its construction at this time; the ! conquer the 13 »ers and sue did not o. today is absolutely bet'er off than lie has ever been in any other age of the world ; but he is relatively poorer. The distance between him and the rich is greater than ever before, ihe discrepancy between bis means and wants is wide and constantly grow- | ing wider. Hence bis restlessness, his dissatisfaction, lbs turbulence. \Vi*h the rise and spread of demo cracy, lie has grown in political im- portance, and lie at last realiz-s that be is a power, and he will not longer suifer in silence. So the coi flict will go on. When, where and how it will cud, no man on earth can now tell. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Nearly all wars develop amazing surprises. Nations forecast results mainly on the basis of resources and numbers But these are frtquen’l*' more than neutralized by superior skill and activity on the part of the enemy, by advantages of position, by various things that could not be anticipated. In 1801 the l nited States Government was confident of being able to whip the seceded States back into line with 7o,0U0 men inside of ninety days, while the South thought she would establish her in dependence in a shorter time than twelve months. Const quently en listments of men on both sides were made at first only for these periods. As a matter of fact the North en listed two millions of men, the South six hundred thousand, and the war lasted four years. England is likely tobe as greatly deceived in her calcu lations in regard to her war with the Boers. All of her estimates of men, time, and money have already fallen far shoru of results She did not ex pect to need more than 20 000 men latter growing out of the terms of former treaties with England and the South American States. It appears that there have been treaties witn England, which, when strictly con strued, w ill give England some rights and privileges in connection with the canal, that will likely prove very troublesome and curtail many of the advantages expected to accrue to this country alone. But the spirit of this nation when thoroughly aroused trami-les down constitutions, ignores promises either oral or written, and takes by force what it cannot get by right. The sentiment in Congress seems to indicate that the United States will build and own andoper ite the canal u their own interest in defiance o. all restrictions imposed by former treaties. If England should not like it, she will be told to help herself, and if the little South j American States should raise the i dust they will be brushed out of the way. The enterprise will vie with the Chinese wall in magnitude and with the pyramids in cost of construction, while in results it will far outstrip anything ever before accomplished in all time. It will bring the Atlantic and the Pacific together, unite our eastern and western coasts, and practically diminish the width of the western hemisphere by more than half. Altogether it is the greatest material enterprise of the ages ana when completed will be u living memorial of the marvelous energies of the Anglo-Saxon race. If the Anglo-Saxon does not have an eye to the replenishing of the earth, he is certainly bent on sub luing it. MOTES AMD COMMENTS. The army appropriation bill now before Congress carries about 000,000. Expansion comes high, and resulting militarism will impose a burden on the country which can never be thrown off, except by revo lution. expect to spend more than $50 000, 000 on the job. She has already sent about 200 000 men to the war, and her expenses have increased in pro portion. The time, too, in spite of all calculations is slowly extending into years and there is no assurance that the Boers are weakening or that the end is near. Colli-gc DuIh.

From Which Sprung; the I'lnnt That (lives La the Cup That Cheers, hut Doesn't Inebriate. Ill the youthful years of the uiuo- teenth century the proposal was made seriously, but apparently not entertain ed seriously, to make the tea plant the national flower of the United States. And why? Because the advocates of tea urged that it was the emblem of resolution, and by some roundabout mental process they argued that the resolution displayed by strong tea was emblematical of the agency of tea in molt' ng the destinies of the American people at the celebrated Boston tea party. As a matter of fact, tea is much more popular now in the United States than it was when the whimsical proposition was made. We are not yet. like the English, a nation of tea drinkers, but tea is now on every restaurant bill of fare—real tea and not pale yellow wa ter. Most housewives know how to make it. and afternoon tea is an estab lished institution. Few persons know the Chinese' myth of the origin of tea. A Chinese histo- rian, to whom, as he has been dead for many thousands of moons and hun dreds of years, a grateful acknowledg ment of indebtedness is hereby made, tells the story. lie says that in the early part of the sixth century I’rinee Dnnnai. the son of an Indian king, landed In the Celestial empire. Dnnnai was a missionary. lie took the utmost pains to spread throughout China a knowledge of (lie Hindoo god and of the most remarkable of the Hindoo true religions, that which in re cent years enlisted the sympathies and sometimes the active championship of Sir Edwin Arnold and other thinking men. This missionary prince must have met with success, for all China men are not followers of Confucius; a great many of them are Buddhists. I’rinee Durmal. to stimulate others by what he thought a good example, subjected himself to privations of ev er.' .ind. He spent the greater part of his time in the open air. He prayed frequently, and he often performed long fasts. In one of his fasts lit' vow ed that he would keep awake, lint the flesh overcame the spirit, and lie fell asleep. When he awoke, lie was still drowsy, but lie roused himself by a desperate effort, and. determined to make amends for bis violation of his oath of wakefulness, he cut off Ids of fending members — his eyelids — and threw them on the ground. Next day. after being awake all night —having no eyelids, he could not sleep; that is the logic of the story—lie found that his cast off eyelids had taken root in the soil and had sprung up Into a shrub the like of which the earth had never before produced. He plucked and ate some of the leaves of the shrub. He became exhilarated. His strength was restored. His drowsiness left him. and he became more wide awake than ever before. In fact, he never again missed Ids eyelids. \\ believer he felt sleepy or tired lie ate some of the eyelid leaves, which may account for the modern ex pression “Go. cat your eyelids.” Par- Dial recommended the wonderful plant to his disciples and followers, by whose means Its reputation Increased and since whose time It has been used gen erally. In due course of time some careless Chinese servant spilt a eup of boiling water over a bowl of the eyelid leaves and, drinking up the liquor in order that his carelessness might not be de tected. was astonished at the result. With pitying and superior glances he watched Ids master and his master's family and guests cat the tea leaves. Then, throwing himself upon the ground, he acknowledged Ids fault, for they had been complaining that the leaves were rather damp, and infused for them all the liquor of the leaves ia the simplest fashion, which Is the Chi nese fashion unto this day—putting the leaves Into cups and pouring boiling water over them. It Is to he hoped that no one will think any the less of ten when he learns that it belongs to the natural or- der teriistroininccn.

The news it brings is news of neighbors, of per sonal affairs in which all have more or less of a com mon interest. If one of our readers called upon you, a merchant, you would do the best you could to con vince him that v/hat you had for sale was the best he could buy. You would show him the new things you had got in recently. You would tell him why he should have them and why they were better than he could procure elsewhere. You probably would make a sale. Your effort, however, would be con fined to one person. You could tell the same story just as effectively to every reader of this paper in each issue. You do not believe it would have the same ef fect? If you told the stoty in the run « way it would. V/c ere n-dy to < i our j ut to prove it. Do you care Ur Uy U? Youra truly, nowtilTB.
