THE PITH OF OPINIONS

Senator Hoars idea of the proper solu.
ton of the Philippine problem is this: Il
think we should set the people on their feet
and let them govern themselves
The Springfield Republicans notion OF
the management of the Philippines is for the
United States to Establish a relation sim.
liar to that which England maintains in
Egypt"
The Utica Herald, the Republican jour
nal in Conkling's old home, says that, ''rec.
ognzing the merits of every competitor,
the Herald thinks none has sclaims superior
to Chauncey NJ. Depew's."
Discussing the "peril to American labor"
in President McKinley's "open door" in the
Philippines, the Boston Post says: "All that
labor will get out of imperialism is the priv.
ilege of paying the heavier taxes which it
will entail
Noting the rapid multiplication of trusts
the Philadelphia Ledger says: "There is
abundant warrant for the belief that the
Democrats in 1900 will make antimonopoly
a conspicuous if not their leading issue.
And Bryan with the slogan of anti-monop-
oily would prove far more formidable an.
tagonist than he was as the crusader Of
free silver"
Thte Mobile Register declares that "there
is no hope of national victory in free
silver and Bryanism. The high tide of the
vagary passed in 1896. This year the re,
Aex tide touched much lower point. In
1900 Democracy must win on some other
issue, if it win at all, and under some other
leader who knows what Democracy is and
respects its merits"

A VIRTUOSO IN THE CAMP

He was far from prepossessing, and they
wondered, one and all,
How he ever got a chance 20 answer to his
country's call.
His gait was rude and shambling and his
eyes were small and dim,
And annoying depredations were most al
ways traced to him.
But the disapproval didn't reach Its climax
until one night
When, bearing an accordion, he gaily hove
in sight;
And they vowed an awful vengeance to be
wrought without delay
When TRANQUILITY he sat himself beneath
the stars to play.
But they paused again to listen to the notes
so harsh and shrill,
And presently the voices that had uttered
wrath were still.
The instrument was sounding strains that
mothers used to sing
When childish eyelids answered to the twi-
light shadowing.
That Nellie Was Lady" 1t would hoarse-
ly tell them all,
And Hard Times Come No More and
when the Leaves Begin to Fall"
1t sang straight to their hearts and ears
that once had been dsmayed
In sweet remembrance listened as the old
accordion played.
Oh, happy organ builder, If the creature
you devise
Can equal these crude harmonies that fall
tered to the skies!
Oh, thrice triumphant master, II such
plaudits you can win
AS you rest your loving cheek against your
faithful violin!
The sternest mood grew gentle, as with
voices soft and low
They Joined and sang in chorus those dear
tunes of long ago.
And their favorite musician will forever be
the scamp
Who found the old accordion and brought II
into camp.

The boldness with which the party which

to stultify itself and confess to its own in
sincerity by withdrawing large number

vantage, will disgust more voters than it

Wage Cutting and Its Results

Continual effort to reduce wages will
prove suicidal to business. The smaller the
wages the less the wageworker can buy.
The way its has worked in New England is
this: The manufacturer finds his margin of
profit diminished, SO he reduces wages. The
wugeworker, having less to spend, buys less
and gets as cheaply as possible what he must
have. This diminshes demand and in
creased competition forces down prices.
The margin OF profit disappears and there
is another cut in wages, with the same re-
