The Kentucky Press Association
met at Cincinnati Frid y morning.
About one hundred and twenty five
papers We're represented. The object
of this association is to exchange ideas,
discuss the many ups and downs of
Kentucky newspaper work and, at the
conclusion of the business part of the
p: gram, take few days well-earned
resi The farmer has mis- rainy days
in which to rest, the banker works
from 0 A. NJ. to $50 p. NJ, the mer-
chant has his clerks to hand out goods
and receive the money, the lawyer has
his office hours, but a country publish
er's troubles never cease for even a
breathing spell Some people say it's
easy to run paper, but they simply
don't know what they are talking
about. The meeting at Cincinnati
was held at the Palace Hotel. This
excellent hOstelry is situated on Sixth
and Vine streets, one bl Eek from Foun-
tain Square. 1t is managed by Mr..
Walter III. Maxwell. The rater are 50
and So per day and the fare is as good
as the most fastldious could desire.
Robt L. Lee, head clerk, sees to it
that the wants of guests are well
looked after. Manager Maxwell
treated the press boys in royal style,
and each resolved to m ike the Palace
his headquarters in future visits to
the Queen City. On Friday afternoon
the Citizens Committee of the G. 4.
r. cncampm ent came to the Palace
with five large, elegant palace trolley
excursion cars and took the boys and
the ladies to all points of interest. The
Il biological Gardens were visited and
several hours spent in looking at the
many interesting sights. Here an ele-
giant lunch was spread, the G.. A. r
committee extended their welcome to
the pencil pushers and Hon. j. Stod-
dard Johnston replied on behalf of the
association. After several more hours
spent in riding over the hill tops
and city, the gang returned to tn.
Palace for supper and at night visited
the Lagoon, on the invitation OF Sena-
tor Goble. At o'clock Saturday

In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that Gen. Miles had great difficulty in
preventing the Porto Ricans from at
lacking and killing the volunteers Of the
Spanish army who had given up their
arms and announced their purpose TO
abandon the Spaniards This was not be
cause the volunteers had deserted the
Spanish army, but because they had been
part of that army and had helped to
Cypress the people
OF itself this statement of Gen. Miles is
of no great importance, but it shows the
feeling between the native Porto Ricans
and the Spaniards and those who sNmpa-
thize with the Spaniards. The same thing
is true in Cuba. There the Cubans hate
the Spaniards and all who sympathize
with them. This feeling of hate Is not
the growth of a day 1t is the growth
Of centuries, the product of misrule. 1t
will be a long time before the loyalist
and insurgents in Cuba and Porto Rico
Win live together in peace and harmony.
That Is the reason principally why it will
he impossible for the Cubans to estab-
fish and maintain a stable government
for a good many years. The outlook now
is that we shall have TO provide a gov
eminent in both Cuba and Porto Rico for
much longer time than was expected
when we notified the Spaniards that they
must get out of Cuba

The newspapers which are the most ag-
gressive IN urging the President 10 hold
on 10 The Philippines assert that 1t is
our duty 20 do so. Why our duty? They
do not give reasons IN support of their
position which are at all satisfactory.
We are under no obligation TO the peo-
pie OF the Philippines. We have not OBJ
structed their efforts to release themselves
from the yoke of Spain. on the contrary,
we have assisted them greatly.
They do not want to come under our
protection. and they are clearly not able
TO govern themselves. But if we should
help them TO free themselves from Span
ish rule. the civilized world would hold
us responsible for good government in
tho islands. Good government could be had
only by the exercise Of authority by US.
We should have to take possession Of the
islands, and Admiral Dewey says it
would take an army OF 10000 men TO do
so. That means to establish the author
ity of our government over the Philip
pines would cost thousands of the lives
OF our young men and hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars OF our money.
And when we had established our au-
thority what better would we be off as a
nation than we VIII be if we get a coal
ing station ana the commercial privileges.
which, il IS understood, have been de-
mandod? lAs "a matter of fact we would
not be so we.l off, because We should have
great and costly responsibilities without
any greater commercial advantages than
we shall insist upon ia our settlement
with Spain.
No duty devolves upon us to conquer
and ciyilize the natives of the Philip
pines. 1t is doubtful if they could be
brought to accept our laws and institu-
tons. We might exterminate them, as
we have the Indians, ana people the
country with another race, but those who
say it is our duty to hold on to the Phil
ppines would not admit that they mean
we should adopt that method of estab-
fishing our authority in the islands.
There is no foundation for the assertion
that duty requires us TO hold on to the
Philippines. There are, however, strong
reasons for saying that our duty to our
selves requires US to withdraw from the
Philippines. We have no constitutional
right to undertake the government Of the
people Of the Philippines without their
consent, and that there is no possibility
of our getting. Besides, Cuba and Porto
Rico will present troublesome questions
enough for us to settle without going on
the other side of the world in search OF
questions Of that sort. Expansion is not
growth. The United States with the Phil
ipplnes on their hands would be larger,
but not stronger They would be weak
er, and, besides by entering upon CO.
lonial policy blow will be struck at the
republic

It has been announced that the troops
at Miami Fsa., are to be sent TO some
place where the health conditions are
more satisfactory. in considering this
Miami camp, the question arises, why
were troops sent there az an2 That ques-
ton has been asked a great many times,
and as yet we have seen no answer 70 il.
Il would seem as If the Secretary Of
War would pause long enough in the dis
charge of his duties to satisfy an anxious
public in respect to that matter Was it
his purpose TO have the 1900 troops sent
to Miami to become accustomed to sand
flies and mosquitoes? If so ne ought to
say so. Probably nowhere else in this
country are there two pests so numerous
and venomous as they are on the south
ern part of the east coast Of Florida.
And the health Of the troops at Miami
has not been, and is not now, good. There
has been, and is, from all accounts,
great deal of fever there, principally
typhoid
But why were troops sent to Miami?
That is the question which the whole
country would like to have answered? If
there was a good reason for sending them
there the war department ought to have
no hesitation in giving it.
The cost of sending them there from
Jacksonville and bringing them back, to-
gether with the cost of transporting sup
plies for them, will not fall far short of
a quarter of a million of dollars. That
is a pretty big sum Of money 20 pay, for
what? Let the Secretary of War answer.
There was never thought that troops
could be put aboard of transports at
Miami. There is not sufficient water there
to accommodate ships used in transport
ing troops When the soldiers were sent
there it was known Of course that they
would have 10 be brought back to some
port from which they could embark, if
sent out of the country. Therefore the
sending of troops there is all the more
inexplicable. If the Secretary of War
does not explain soon why troops were
sent there he viii have to do so later on
or else the administration will be sadded
with something approaching a scandal,
because the states which have troops
there will not be satisfied until they know
the reason why their regiments were sent

The Philippine Question
From the Baltimore News peml

The control of the Philippines as a de-
tendency TO be ruled from Washington
is so foreign to the general spirit and OBJ
ject Of our Union that it is likely to exer-
else a most deleterious influence upon our
politics; and il has not been shown that
their possession would be likely to cast any
considerable benefit of any kind upon the
people of this country. We are not under
such obligations 10 the hordes of Agui-
naldo, or to the other inhabitants of the
islands as to call for a continuance of the
war with Spain, and the danger of. en-
broilment with other European powers,
and the assumption of a permanent bur
den in the shape of the governing Of
them. A proposition to Spain can be de-
vised, we believe, which shall plainly in
dicate that we do not propose asking, in
the final terms Of peace, for possession of
The Philippine Islands, but that We do
intend TO insist upon effective guarantees
of humanity and Improvement. Then, if
Spain rejects our oVertures, il will be time
to think of assuming the task OF taking
the Philippines and shouldering the re-
sponsib,lity Of keeping them in order after
we have got them.

A Lesson for the Peach Growers.

The peach growers Of this state have had
an opportunity This year to learn les
son, which, if needed viii be of the
greatest benefit to them. The lesson is
This: In order to get the best results from
their peach crops there must be
factories established for canning
peaches An immense quantity of
peaches has been lost this Year be-
cause all of the markets of the country
have been overstocked. In some of The
markets to which peaches were sent, the
supply was so abundant that prices fell
below the profit point 1t is said that
some growers will lose a quarter, if not
a third, of their crop. They realize that
il would be folly to send peaches to mar
ket when they would not bring enough
to pay freight charges. Another mistake
that growers have made. but one which
can be easily corrected is that of not hav-
ing crates enough prepared before the
crop is ready for shipment to meet the
demand of their crops. The mistake res
pecting crates, however, as a minor one.
The factor in peach growing which de-
mauds immediate attention is that Telat-
ing to canning factories. They are alb
solutely indispensable to the success of
peach growing. When the crop is small
they can be operated on a less expensive
scale, and when the crop is unusually
large, as il is this year, they are abso-
lutely necessary TO make the crop profit
able.
1t would not be advisable, of course,
for every grower to have a factory. The
owner Of a large orchard should have a
factory OF his own, but there should he
central factories throughout the peach
districts for the benefit of small growers.
Another thing in connection with peach
growing should not be overlooked. 1t is
that there is much profit in drying peaches.
For dried peaches there is always de-
mand and the prices received for them
are generally good.
This seasons experience with peaches
has set the peach growers to thinking.
They understand now that big as this
country is, it cannot absorb all the peaches
Georgia can furnish in a good peach year
during the short season in which the fruit
must be marketed Therefore the crop
! must be distributed over the whole year.
The part of the crop which cannot be
marketed during the season must be can
ned and dried. In that way fair prices
may be obtained for Che whole crop.

Injustice to the Georgia Peach.


It is stated in the New York papers that
Georgia peaches are sold in the New York
market as Delaware peaches. OF course
the commission merchants do not attempt
10 deceive the public. The deception is
practiced only by the grocers, keepers of
fruit stands and push-cart men. The Del
aware peach has such splendid reputa-
tion that dealers hope to make better
sales by representing the beautiful and
lucious peaches now on the market as be-
ing from Delaware. The fact. however.
that they are from Georgia cannot be
kept from the knowledge of the public
very long This year probably viii be suf-
ficient TO establish the reputation of the
Georgia peach. The fact viii be recogniz-
ed that Georgia produces the best peaches
in the world 1t Is doubtful If Delaware.
even in her palmiest days, ever produced
such large, lucious and beautiful peaches
as those which Georgia has sent 10 mar
ket this year. IT is pity that the grow
ers have not received better prices for
them. The Delaware and New Jersey
peaches will soon be in market, but the
crop from those states viii not be a large
one. It Is stated that the Delaware crop
will not be more than about 16 per cent
of an average crop, and that the yield of
the New Jersey orchards will be compar-
atively small. Undoubtedly the coming
great peach state is Georgia. Within a
very few years the states average year
ly output of peaches viii be double what
