A NEW PHASE OF THE PHILIP
PINE QUESTION.

The San Francisco bulletins" Wash
fngton correspondent claims TO have
had an interview with Secretary Will
son of President McKinley's Cabinet,
in which that officer sets out what he
thinks will be the Presidents policy rel
Rtfve to the Philippines. In brief the
expression is that the President will
not favor the retention of the Philip
pines by the United States. But he will
not consent to a return of the archipel-
ago to the Spanish. His idea is to Sc
cure for the United States such COM
mercial advantages by reason OF our
victory as will inure enormously in
benef1cence to the Pacific Coast and re-
suit in its upbuilding far beyond the
fancy of any who have yet forecast its
future
Assuming that this Is a. correct inter-
probation of the Presidents thought, it
throws light upon the peculiar words Of
the protocol, namely, that the Peace
troll and disposition of the government
Of the Philippines; not of the islands
themselves, but of their government"
The Bulletins" statement being ques-
TONED, its correspondent again called
upon Secretary Wilson, who averred
that he had been correctly reported,
only he wished to be understood as ex-
pressing rather his own views Of what
the outcome will be, and not as assum-
ing to speak for the President. He au-
thorized our contemporary to say that
he had nothing to retract from the ex-
pressions published in the first state
ment, and that he still adheres TO the
belief that the policy will be to secure
such commercial advantages as will
add immensely to the trade and agri-
culture of the Pacific Coast without the
United States taking actual and final
control Of the islands
This, if verify, would indicate that
the policy of the United States may
be to secure an independent government
for the Philippines, with such guard
1anship and protection as will insure
its permanency and justice, but with
out the United States exercising abso-
Lutte sovereignty over the archipelago
and holding it as a possession of this
Government.
1t will make very little difference, we
apprehend, whether we vest the title
IN ourselves if we secure all the bene-
fits that we could have in the way of
commerce, by some other adjustment.
There is demand that we shall not
lose any commercial advantages which
we might hts.acquire by absolute annexa-
tion.
If, now, the Presidents policy shall
develop a scheme whereby we can be
relieved Of permanent responsibility,
and the Islands be insured a free gov
ernment3 while our relations with them
are so adjusted that We will have every
benefit. we could have by possession,
we apprehend that the people will ac-
cept that solution very gladly.
But on these things they are fixed
the Philippines must not be returned
to Spain; the people there must not be
again restored to the cruel and ineffi-
cit9nt domination of the Spaniard;
Spain must not be permitted to make
any transfer of the islands or any part
of them, and whatever the benefits
possible to flow from our victory, they
must not be forfeited.

shout form small souls who can con-
ceive Of no honesty among men, Of
"jobbery." that some one has an ak to

blind the eyes of the people. The job.
if there is any, is all In the retention
Of the present system, which is a

can take part if city officials are not
honest. We have not been among
those who have charged that in any

ly say that if any city official charges
dishonesty in the proposition to pro-
cure clear. pure water supply for
Sacramento to displace the present
system of filth and uncleanliness, he
opens the door to the suspicion that re-
tention Of the present system involves
jobbery in which he has a part.
The simple truth is that the pure.

Board of Health, by the entire body Of
the medical faculty. by every we'll

If the entire machinery of the Unit
ed States Government is not presently
run by the San Francisco Examiner" it
will not be because of failure on the part
Of that flash sheet to claim credit for
everything done in the name of the
Government that is popular. Here we
have that paper actually heading up
dispatch outlining the forthcoming re-
port of the Secretary Of the Navy, "The
Examiners Big Navy in Sight" And
this because Secretary Long, following
the line laid down by several Of his
predecessors and keeping step with the
policy of the Republican party, will
advise increase in the strength of our
naval force. greater efficiency in its
armament, and better system in it's
manning. But, of course, the EXAM
iner'' originated the whole thing. The
"idea' was born of it's fertile patriotism
and it's wonderful far-seeing; the
Examiner of course, advised the ma
val enlargement and betterment long
before any one else thought Of suggest
ing such thing. The American peo-
pie had nothing to do with it. Presf-
dents Secretaries and Congresses have
done nothing in the matter. While
they and the people slept the Exam
iner'' was Matching the idea Of a
great navy. Let all the earth keep
silence, the Examiner will do all nee
essary thinking and suggesting for the
benefit of mankind. It viii attend to
all the shouting, at least.

The Spanish Commissioners at Paris
appear to be incapable of getting It
through their noddles that because we
demand that Spanish sovereignty cease
in a captured or freed territory, there
fore some other sovereignty has be-
come dominant-that is, to so remain.
They ask eff we have surrendered
sovereignty as you insist, then yours
must have been substituted" To this
the United States enters denial, where
upon the Spanish insist that If Amerf-
can sovereignty is not to the fore, then
Spanish sovereignty must be, in view
Of the fact that no other has presented.
The difficulty with the Spanish Com
missioners is that they cannot or will
not comprehend that when we demand
accomplished, they have no more con-
Germ about the matter. Tt is for the
United States and the people of the
new acquisitions to settle the question
Of domination. Spain will awake pres
entity to the fact that under forms OF
the institutions of liberty there is such
thing as free government, a sover-
eighty born of the peoples exercise of
free will: that we, on this side of the
water can conceive Of a governmental
system which may be free and yet SO
weak that it will need the guardianship
and fostering care of the American ma
ton without actual claim of absolute
domination being made. We propose,
for instance, to dominate in Cuba, not
for all time, but only as long as 1t IS
necessary to develop among the Cuban
people the strength that will enable
them to stand alone. Spain will some
day understand that the United States
does not view possession in the light
which streams from the throne OF

sition to the will of the people over

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Go Hand In Hand with Equally
Good Feeding.

There could not be greater error than
to suppose that all that is necessary for
the young breeder 10 be successful is
TO buy the blood and the balance would
take care of itself. We might just as
well expect a good crop of corn if we
plant an excellent variety in well-pre-
pared. rich soil and then not give il
any further attention, as to suppose
that our pigs will develop into fine hogs,
no matter how well bred, without the
proper food and attention. In fact, the
work of making the fine hog is only be-
gun at weaving time, so says James
Riley in American Swineherd. 1t is
very important to have the pig we'll
bred, as that is the foundation, and, like
building house, it is important TO
have good foundation. Then by using
good material and skill in architecture
we build a good, substantial house; SO
with the pig. We want it well bred as
a foundation, then by the proper meth
cd of feeding we develop it into fine
hog. No young breeder will ever sue
coed in the business unless he makes
study of the proper method of feeding
pigs, as feed is the principal factor IN
the improvement of swine. 1t is well
known that by grading seed wheat and
seed corn and planting the largest and
best developed grains the grain will be
improved from year to year; so with
|
the pig. By feeding the pig well-bal-
anced ration, a ration that will build up
all the different parts of the hog, cspe-
cially the valuable parasitic loin and
ham, the muscular or lean. The pigs
thus fed till they arrive at the proper
age to breed will transmit their good
qualities to their offspring, and, like the
large grains of corn or wheat, the inn
provement will go on from generation
to generation. Pigs should be fed va
riety of feeds. The best feed for young
pigs Is shorts mixed with SKINNED
milk, fed sweet, or ground wheat, or
ground oats with the hulls seved out
Dat hulls are not good for pigs, but
there is nothing better than ground
oats with the hulls extracted, mixed
with sweet milk. This with little
corn will make good balanced ra'
ton; feed them regular and enough
to keep them rapidly growing. The pig
should never stop growing. Our best
improved pigs should gain at least ont
pound per day, or it would not injurt
them TO make them gain 1 V pounds pei
day if fed muscle and bone-producine
food.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Never hitch a horse to tree if you
think anything of the tree.
Pour hot water into the nest of ants,
or use bisulphide of carbon.
Cultivate, cultivate, and then cult
vate, if you would discount drought.
Don't let your stock get into the pub
lie road. 1t is not neighborly.
1t is claimed that one good crop of
hemp will destroy Canadian thistles.
l. Whatever the farmer has to sell now,
he can get good price for. The trouble
is that his wheat, etc., is out of his
hands, as rule.
Buy a good harness, il you buy, but
that does not mean that you should pay
an exorbitant price for it. First class
harness can be bought cheap.
Every farm should have its workshop
and the means to halfsole boots, and do
about everything that is needed in re-
pairing things. 1t will save lots of
money.
If you try to force calf to learn to
drink, you will have circus. Gently
get the calf to the pail, gently induce it
to touch the milk, put two fingers in its
mouth, and after few times 1t will
drink Western Plowman.

FACTS ABOUT FLOURINE.
1t Contains Very Little Protein and IS
Deficient In BOne-FOrming
Constituents.

Prof. Snyder, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, has recently made
chemical analysis of flourine, the by
product of the glucose mills that is now
being used as an adulterant of wheat
-four. His report, which appears in the
Northwestern Miller, is not in accord
with the claims which have been made
for this product, especially in the i'm
portant feature of nutritive value. An
alysis shows the fiourine contains so lit
tie protein that man would have to eat
$50 pounds of it in order to get enough
protein to enable him to do days work.
1t is deficient in boneforming constitu-
ents and fat as well. and in fact contains
little of food value except starch. But
still worse, it contains sulphate of soda
and sulphuric acid enough to make it
injurious to health. Is it any wonder that
European consumers of American -four
are regarding it with suspicion when
there is possibility of it containing such
worthless worse chan worthless
substance? Is it strange that Eu-
ropean governments, which represent
people WHO dare not waste penny even
for bread, are on the alert to protect
their people against such an imposition
MS -four adulterated with fourine?
Some means should be found of prevent
ing the expectation of adulterated -four
to foreign markets, and also of prevent
ing its sale to our own people as pure
wheat hour.-National Stockman.

ceiling. They were hip-roofed, making
them MS solid as light material could
make them; then to hold them in place,
four four by four inch posts were set
in the ground IA feet high, with four
plates at the top to hold the posts in
position and keep them plumb The
roof was placed in position before the
posts were set up, having the corners at
the cave ends of the roof set so as to
permit the roof tc slide up or down on
or between the posts. Holes were bored
in the posts to put in pins to hold the
roof up. When il is time to begin
stacking, fasten the roof at the top of
the posts and begin the stack between
the posts. Build to finish, or in case
there is not enough hay cut, put in
what there is, stopping work on the
stack for any length of time. take out
the pins and lower the roof down upon
the hay, leaving the hay level, or near
ly so. AS the stack settles, the roof will
follow the hay down and protect it
from rain and wind.-W. H. Doane, in

Cables that place the fleets OF the
world in almost instant communication
with their governments, and which
keep outlying possessions in constant
touch with the mother country so that
they may call for assistance or send in
formation, play part in war nowadays
as well defined as that of guupowder.
The war with Spain has demonstrated
some of the cables possibilities for de-
Gliding the outcome of hostilities be-
tween nations having navies and colo
mics. AS soon as he got to the Cuban
coast, Uncle Sam had his grapnels out
and was hunting for the cables that
kept Cuba in communication with the
outer world. Dewey's first important
act after the victory was to find the
cable and cut the Spaniards off from
Hong-Kong.
There are at present nearly 10000
miles of submarine cables twined
around the earth. These cables have
been laid by private companies and are
operated for commercial purposes.
There are 10000 miles of government
cables, but these are mostly short lines.
The actual ownership of cables has
no bearing upon their use in war time,
their location is the important consid-

ing the whereabouts of our ships in the
vicinity of Cuba and Puerto Rico. AS il

to keep out of Sampson'a way.
Through control of the cable from Mar

completely mystified our naval board as

that it was at Martinique. Indeed, our
government supposed the fleet was at

this cables are liable to turn history up
side down. Our means of learning of
Cervera's presence at the French colony
was by second cable that runs from
Martinique to Hayti without touching
Puerto Rico.
The only cables that Spain may at
