THE VIEWS OF SOME STATESMEN.

IY HILE giving much attention every \Al day to more or less commonplace views the TX various issues before us-the Philippine ques- ton and the problems of the futureit will be just we'll to ponder little the recent utterances Of some statesmen whose views not commonplace. It is always the unexpected that happens, and pos sibly one of these fellows with unexpected ideas may call the turn
 There is Senator Kyle who proposes that after hav- ing purchased the Philippines for S2ooooooo we shall now sell them for $2oo ooo-a scheme that would not only gain for us profit of $18ooooooo, but would provide us, further, with the pleasure of watching a general scrimmage among European nations for the privilege Of being the purchaser. A still better scheme is that Of Senator Chandler who proposes that trade the Philippines to Great Britain for Canada. The swap would be good bar gain from every point of view. We should by that simple act get possession of the klondlke and get rid of Agunaldo, two things most devoutly to be wished The defect of the scheme IS that 1t alarms the Canadians. One of their poets has been already so moved by 1t to fear professions of friend ship and to sing of our national eaglebird: His voice is mellow music; 1t hath most unctu-
 "quack'
 I hope it's all in good earnest, but I won't take
 anything back
 I'm jollyng you MT. Canuck, hope you will listen,
 my buck
 Keep your to the wind, and keep your eye
 skinned, for the Eagle that talks like duck!
 Our country is not the only country, how ever, where statesmen of originality have freedom of thought and speech. Canada herself has some of them. One of these proposes that Great Britain trade Jamaica and her other West Indian islands for the New England States and annex the latter to Can ada. The scheme has its merits and might be worked but for the fact that Dewey has his home in Vermont We cannot trade off the hero's home
 Most original of all is a certain MT. Turgeon, Min ister of Colonization and Mines in the province of Quebec This statesman in speech made in France on the occasionof demonstration in honor of Champlan the founder of Quebec, told the French that within comparatively short time both Canada and the United States would be disrupted. The Germans he said are taking possession of the Mississippi Valley and will eventually set up a government of their own Then the French Canadians, who overrunning New England will add those States to Quebec and set Up a French nationality.
 Altogether the honors of statesmanship are about even between the countries with the advantage little in favor of the Canucks It is about time some of our poets were singing a song of warming against the beaver that honks like goose.

THE SCHOOL BOARD BooDLERs.

HE rumor that the creditors of the School De
 partment are about to begin suits against the
 bondsmen of the Directors for the recovery of their claims is calculated to cast ray of sunshine upon the spectacle of squalid corruption with which the Board of Education is surrounded. Ii the suits be made to stick great point will be gained Hereafter solid citizens will hesitate to become bonds for booding School Directors and that species of cattle will have difficulty in qualifying for office and in holding office while boodng at the public expense.
 Besides 1t IS well to resort to law before resorting to the homey expedients of rotten eggs dead cats and tar and feathers Not but what the ring in the Board of Education richly deserves the application of these things, but they tre uncivlized and cal culaed to lower the public dignity and character II the bondsmen of the booders can be made to pay for the and extravagance'of the School Board not only will the bau5oozLed creditors ge. what is hon esty due them, bur precedent wiL 5e ss- tending to deter future boodE1g n the School Department We sincerely t-rs- tEz. t5- Boz-d of Trade which has this matter in hand. aIE grosec-.e ' to final con- clusiou.
 Certainly the purpose of pgttiag School Director under bonds IS to compel him faithfully discharge his duties. Certainly, it cannot be maintained that the members of the present School Board ring have faithfully discharged anything except disposition to S1e1i NfNg 4iI4S t4dt I4da, u4llLR peElOQ OI two years, come within their reach. Hence it ought to follow as a legal syllogism that the men who guar anteed the-who are in fact responsible for placing them in positions where they have been enabled to steal-shoud be made to pay for whatever the teach CTS and creditors of the School Department have lost through their malversation.
 Moreover, this method of attack may make an inn Pression upon the bulwarks of these boodlers The Schoo Board ring has laughed the people, Haunted the poce dehcd the and sneered at the Grond Jury. Nothing in the form of law has seemed to give 1t the slightest concern. Perhaps judgments which will make it's friends and supporters pay something for the luxury Of aiatng with may serve to bring 1t to time. Evidently the members of the ring are without moral sense. They belong to class of public thieves who set all regard for decency and appear ances at defiance. Next coat of tar and feathers the best thing to do with such men is to take their property from them, which can be done by attacking them through their bondsmen.

interviews presented in the paper which he has the doubtful honor to supply with tales rich in imagery, but barren of the valuable element of truth It was the Examiner that ascrbed to Mrs. Mckinley words never uttered by her. and which has at various times printed interviews with princes and potentates who had heard of the existence of the sheet nor so much as acknowledged the impertinent card of its representative.
 Aside from being dscredited by the Creelman in troducton and eulogy, the latest interview silly It contains no gleam of anything which may pass for information. It could have been written in New York or Madrid as we'll as in Rome and by the office boy we'll by Creelnan, save that the office boy might have a trace of conscience to hamper him.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

\ 1TH this week the pleasant task of Christmas \Nf shopping should go forward Ill earnest It is
 a good plan to make a resolution not to wait for the coming of Christmas week before making the necessary purchases of gifts and delicaces for the great day The golden rule for all shoppers at this season of the year IS to go early and avoid the rush
 This week the weather promises to be fine Next week there may be rain and sloppy streets This week there will be fair opportunity to shop in com fort. Next week there Is sure to be crush and crowd in every store where Christmas novelties are kept. Every argument of personal convenience therefore tends to impel the wise wait no longer but to get their holiday trading done at once
 Personal convenience, however, is not the only thing to be considered at this season. Women who can afford to shop in the daytime by reason of having leisure while others are at work should remember that great many persons of necessity compelled to do most of their shopping after working hours They should, therefore, do their shopping early and mako way for the workers. There is no reason why the average woman should throng the stores until late and crowd the 6 o'clock cars when the general mass of working people going home and are tired II those who have the opportunity to shop early in the day will do so and get out of the way for the evening crowds 1t will be peasanter for everybody
 There IS nothing to be lost by prompt shopping Every form of Christmas novelty that will be offered at this season is in stock and ready for sale Nothing can be gained by waiting, but on the other hand much may be lost for the most attractive art cles will go fast and the stocks will be rapidly de- pleted. Moreover, in the rush that is sure to come with the closing days the clerks cannot wait upon customers as attentlvely they this week A word to the wise: Finish your shopping this week and next week you can watch the crowds struggling IT the thronged stores and enjoy the sight without having to mix in the scramble

CHARACTERISTICALLY CREELMAN.

THE latest interview of the Examiner with the
 Pope IS characterized by the Creelman touch.
 That is 1t is palpaby fake that no observ- ing intelligence is under the slightest obligation to believe 1t Creelman has reached that state where in common with Baldwin, he has lost power to deceive The difference is that Baldwin acknowledges the situ- ation and seems rather glad of it. while Creelman keeps up wordy pretense of honesty.
 This interview does not purport to have been had by Creeman, but by Philippe Tone. As though to give it standing however, Creelman prepared an ir- troduction. He may have done this seriously, but possibly 1t was done Baldwnese stroke of irony In 1t the regular correspondent directs attention to an interview he secured in 1890 with the Pope Perhaps there was such an interview far more likely not But why did Creelman omit auson to his interview with the notable sent over during the progress of the war with Spain and officially denounced as fict- tious the instant called to the notice of Cardinal Rampolla? Why did he not strengthen the hand of Tonell by brief account of the interview with the Queen Regent, interview indignantly repudiated as soon as printed? Why not account of the let ter bearing the signature of Madame Dreyfus and by her denounced in Le Temps as a swindle and open forgery?
 He might have set forth incidentally the other fake
