GENERAL. MILES is ALL RIGHT

While General Miles has been jeered
at and caricatured because OF personal
peculiarities, and while there has been
a certain amount of truth in the asser-
lions that he was overanxious for pre-
ferment, it is still true that in times OF
war and in times when immediate and
swift action was demanded General
Miles has never failed. and it is not
likely that he would fail even in this
emergency. He has shown during the
last few months that he knew what he
was talking about when he said that
the United States had no regular army
which stood any comparison in effec-
tive strength with those of European
countries.
General Miles is all right. He has
done some things which have not been
attractive to democratic mind. He is
fond of display, and he is fond OF talk
in, and he is fond of getting his name
in the newspapers. but further than
that-and it is of more Importance, by
the wayne is a fighter. Let him
alone, and let him fight. That's the
American idea He is a capable man
in position OF tremendous response
bility. Let him show the stuff that he
showed in other days. Ten to one he's
not lost it all yet.-Buffalo Courier.

uin,li1r 81 III respects and a little o.
erotie y possible. d removing them
altogether, should be erected
The present arrangements for the
transportation OF merchandise in bond
through the United States and Canada
has given dissatisfaction to railroad
interests on this side of the border
and there has been strong movement
for its modification or termination.
The Dingley tariff produced some COM
plications which caused dissatisfaction.
This is one of the questions the Quebec
conference will be called on to con-
slider.
The proposition to abrogate the old
restriction on the maintenance or con-
struction of naval vessels on the lakes
is of Importance to our ship-building
interests, in addition to the larger ma
tional considerations involved.
Other matters to be considered are
the mining rights of one country with
in the territory of the other, reciproc-
ity Of trade, and the conveyance OF
persons in custody of officers of one
country through the territory of an
other.
1t will be seen that the Quebec con-
ference will have serious work before
it in the settlement of all these vexed
questions, but the temper of the coun-
tries interested was never better for
their consideration than now.

"MANANA."

On the edge of hammock a foreigner
sat
With a queer ragged coat and a queerer
round hat,
And he sighed as he sat there a-lookfng
so blue,
For he'd little to eat and he'd nothing to
do
And he rumpled his hair till it stood very
stiff,
And he breathed on the zephyr garlicky
Whit.
And single word escaped HINT mixed
with yawn
That crept twixt his lips and was speed
lily gone:
Twas the one word he'd uttered since the
roseate dawn
''Manana," that's all, just 'sManana"
He had lost all his credit and most of his
friends,
He was right on the pathway that swiftly
descends:
He was licked in a tussle and woefully
spoiled
He was mopped in the gutter and baffled
and foiled:
He WIS covered with bruises, was aching
and sore
Yet he sat in the hammock and put up a
snore.
And when they all asked why not hoiler
enough?
He proudly replied-such a shabby old
blur
With only word. but they left in hun:
"Manana," that's all. just .'Manana."

Natives Of the Philippine Islands
now in England, France and Belgium
cabled to President Mckinley beseech-
ing him not to turn the Philippine
Islands back to Spain. But in a case
like this what is a poor President to
do? The American people emphatically
don't want them, so what is he going
to do with them? Dewey is all right,
but sorry the day he laid this black
infant on Uncle Sans doorstep.
