pleased with his reception in this city that
he paid it the compliment of putting into
his address at the banquet here the views
which he intends to express in the special

An industrious Ant was one day Wres-
ting with Crumb of Bread in Gn effort
10 Push the Morsel toward Home. when
Potato Bug accosted him, says the Phia-
delphia Press
'Wn you kindly direct me to the near
est Potato patch?" asked the Bug.
The Ant stopped working, and, wiping
the Precipitation from his Brow, said:
Two fields from nere-straight ahead"
Thank you very much" said the Pota-
70 Bug. Il think TN go over there and eat
some Potatoes-unless, of course, some
foolish Farmer has spoiled the Flavor by
putting Paris Green on them"
what do you do besides Eat?" asked
The industrious Ant.
Nothing" answered the Potato Bug:
haven't Time 10 do anything else. What
do you Do?'
ANY story book for Children viii tell
you answered the Ant, proudly; Il lay
up food for Winter"
What's Wnter?" asked The Bug.
You certainly are very Dumb, indeed"
responded the Ant. winter is the time
when Snow comes and the Ground is
Frozen and you can't find anything to
Eat"
Dear me-" said the Potato Bug, what
a Shocking state of Affairs. I'm very glad
lou think of nothing but your Stom-
ach,' said the Ant IN disgust
The Potato Bug was about TO fly away
but the last Remark of the Ant constrain-
ed him TO change his mind. Look here
my busy Frieud-and l use that term Busy
pointedly-you take Me to task for think
ing only of what l Eat. Now, for what
under the Sun are you Showing that chunk
of Bread? Solely that you may have food
during the Winter. l never met Winter
don't want to meet him, and 80 I set no
Store by him. Leaf all 1 want now-eat as
often as l get the Chance. You know of
such thing as Winter. and so you get
together a whole lot of Food and eat It
then. eat in Summer and know no Win
ter-you eat both Summer and Winter
Therefore you think more of your Stomach
than | do of mine. If you didn't think so,
my friend. you'd be storing up Religion In
your house instead OF collecting Bread
Crumbs"
And so saying, the Potato Bug flew away
toward the potato Patch. while the Ant.
thinking the bread was a good thing,
| showed it along.
And the moral of this tale is-Don't call
a man fool who is doing the same thing
| you're doing only in a different way.

FORTUNES FOR Tue COMMISSION
ERS,

A story is afloat In Washington to the
effect that the members of the peace com
mission are TO receive 100000 each, and
that the secretary of the commission ls>to
receive $4,000. Naturally representatives.
and senators are saying that the compen-
sation IS Out of all proportion to the SER
vices rendered. One senator-Morgan-
is quoted as saying that such fees would
be prohigaey
1t is not known, OF course, Just what
the compensation of the commissioners
will be, but some idea Of the intention of
the administration in the matter must
have leaked out. il is admitted that the
commissioners should be literally. and
even generously, paid, but If they should
be given any such sum as that indicated
there would be a storm of disapproval
from one side of the country to the other.
A congressman gets only 5000 a year
| and member of the cabinet
is paid only 5000. The duties
| performed by the peace commits
sioners were not more onerous, or even
more delicate. than those performed by d
| senator or representative.
It must not be overlooked that the COM
missioners were not permitted TO negoti-
ate such treaty as they thought proper.
They simply followed the instructions
| given them before they left Washington.
and which they received by cable In
other words the terms Of the treaty were
| fixed at Washington and were concurred
| in by the authorities at Madrid The
commissioners at Paris simply filed in
| the details. 1t is said that the commits
sioners did not take a single important
step without first getting instructions
] from the President Assuming that this
| statement is true there would be no justi-
fcation whatever for the payment of such
fees as those indicated. 1t is reported
that Judge Day, the chairman of the com.
mission, never earned over Sc 900 a year
| before he was made Secretary of State
If he We're to be given 100000 for a couple
of months work, and at the same time
have all his expenses paid, he would have
reason to feel that about $4,000 had beer
taken out of the pockets of the people for
his benefit, simply through the favor OF
the leaders of his party.

1t is apparent that it is not going to
De an easy matter 10 reach an agreement
on an army bin There are four bills
pending. each of which. 1T is claimed, has
some good points. a member of the mil
uary committee of the Senate is quoted
as saying that a bin would be made up
Of the best features Of the four bills.
One point on which there is a wide DIFF
ference of opinion IS the size Of the. army
As is well known there is a strong preju-
dice against large standing army one
Of the bills, that known as the Alger-Hul.
bill provides for 100000 men. The Proc
tor Miles bin provides for 10000 men. 1t
would not be surprising IL the number
finally settled upon were 1900.
one of the strongest arguments against
retaining the Philippines is that they would
require us to maintain large army and
a great navy. Not only would the ex-
pense Of the government be greatly IN
creased, but large army and navy would
increase the chances for becoming in
volved in foreign wars. because the ten
dency would be to pursue a more aggres-
sive policy in foreign matters.
The army bin Is certain to be the oc-
casion Of a great deal OF discussion. It Is
expected that It WIFI be reported very soon
after the holiday recess. There Is not
much probability, however, that it win be
passed much before the end OF the session.

CURRENT COMMENT.

1T seems to us" says the Washington
Post Qnd). that. in the establishment
of free and enlightened government in
Cuba. we are taking things at the wrong
end we are talking too much about the
morals of the Cuban people. about the
prohibition Of gambling, and the dissent
nation of theology, and the curtailment of
their faVorite sports, and cOntempiat-
ing too little their material welfare
their political emancipation and their sub
stantial prosperity. We have nothing to
do with the religion, the social customs,
the ideas and practices of the residents of
Cuba, beyond seeing that law and order
are enforced, property and life protected,
| and organized society set upon a lasting
basis. 1t is well enough to police the
cities and the agricultural districts of
Cuba, to repress violence and to establish
the processes of modern civilization. But
until We have done these things what
right have we to inquire into or meddle
with the individual conduct of the people?
Gambling. for instance! Is there a city in
the United>Stales where men do not play
cards, or where the authorities demand
or secure anything more than the cloak
of decency and order? Upon what grounds
are we considering an assault upon these
peoples personal liberties, while as yet
we have done nothing for their substan-

The trusts are ready to step in and

capital of $4,000 600 has been incorporated
TO purchase, acquire and manufacture
raw agricultural products of the United
States and the West Indies, and to sell
the same. and to purchase and operate
factories and agencies" Its prospectus
sounds good deal like the Honorable
East India Company, which undertook to
exercise much the same kind of civlizins
influence in that part of the world. and
monopolzed the whole of the East India
trade. The history of that company does
