THE PHILIPPINES.

There is no hurry about decision in ref
erence to the future of the Philippines The
country has lot yet had time in which 20
fully consider the matter A naval station,
which may mean good-sized town, we
should have. and possibly the control of one
of the best of the islands. but the annexa-
ton of the thousand or more islands scat
tered over that portion of the Pacific is an
other thing. Annexation would mean re-
sponsbility for the better government of it's
people and for their treatment of the citi-
zens or subjects of other governments who
may go there. 1t means that we must as
sumo charge Of territory largely UNEMPLOYED
inhabited by mi-barharians. For such a
country. so far away. IT seems that we can
have no use. and that I'VE can derive no ad-
vantage from its possession.
The present duty is to act sensibly in re-
gard to this question There are those who
and that to do otherwise would not be exer-
cising the right which our position among
the nations gives us. This clamor will come
from those who were shouting few weeks
ago ION to Havana Nor should the dis
position of the Philippines be permitted
to be treated as party question, to the ex-
tent that men who belong to one party
should be for or against appexation because
men of the other parity take the opposite
side. 1t is a serious question, which is now
complicated by the prominence which Die
tator Aguinaldo has assumed.
There is a very general sentiment that
in no event should Spain be permitted to
continue its oppressive colonial policy in the
Philippines. 1t can be said with force and
consistency that if Spain, because of its
viciousness, must forfeit its possessions in
the West Indies, why should it be permitted
to exercise the same injustice in the far
away Pacific. The only answer which can
be made to this seems to be that it is our
duty to drive Spain out of the country con-
tiguous to us, and that its expulsion from
the far-away Philippines should be left to
powers more nearly interested. But the
point to be enforced at the present time is
that we take time to consider the whole
matter, as has the President.

Cornell. Stories.

The new school of light literature which
may be characterized as college stories is of
comparatively recent origin. When such
stories are well told they appeal to a large
circle of readers on account of the fresh
ness and naturalness of the emotions they
portray and the unworldliness of the exclu-
sive college life they depict. Cornell Stor-
les, by James Gardner Sanderson, is of
this class. The volume contains six stories,
The, Wooing of Melville r. Corydon.'
One who didn't Zone Who Did" and
The Elder Miss Archlen.' They all have
the genuine college flavor and are told in
way that makes them readable. New York:
