SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.
This has not been very lively week
n the world at large, and it is difficslt
o pick out leading event. The peace
continues TO work away at
ts tedious task OF attending bRpquets,
lnd occasionally meeting and haggling
over the Philippines. When the Ameri.
,an commission went to Paris there WAS
ons thing TO agree upon, the
other things being settled in the protocol, /,
and that Was the dIspo~It on OF the Phil
ippinee. II 4nce lhis should have been
taken up and disposed ot without much
ginger bread about it. There was evil
IDENTIFY an cbjsct in agreat delay and
the DELAY is still iu progress. AS stated
by the DEMOCRAT from the start. Spain
Just simply has to sign the treaty of
peace whatever il ia even to the annex
alton Of Madrid to the United States az
banqueting station. and she might
as we'll do il one time as another.

Letters continue to come from MRnils
with severe criticism OF the officer. II
is probably general experience Il ~
privates think the officers are imposing
on them, that they wart the easy thing
and are willing for the privates to receive
all the hardships. 1t is too much th'
truth that not on y the privates thibl
this, but il lie apt TO be fact. 1t woul'
be better though, notwithstanding th'
justice OF their charges for them to bid
their time, and while in service keel
quiet. Another thing, A great man.
OF the letters published are private ant
were never intended to be given to tbs
public. 0nly such matters as are of gen
eral interest should be given to tn
press. A soldier has q right to write a
he pleases to his family, and a grea
many thing which ne ~r.ies shoul'
never be given away.
