The London Telegraph lately devoted col
umn of editorial discourse to a suggestion of
Mr.. James Bryce that the British public wants
cheaper books, and that IL the publishers
would supply that want the habit of reading
books would be stimulated and the business
of the publishers increased. Mr.. Bryce's idea
seems to have been that only by the cheapen-
ing of books was 1t possible to meet the
formidable competition Of the magazines and

ready to admit the expediency or effectuality
of this method Of cure. AS to British readers.

London, Nov. 81. - Agoncillo, the
| agent OF Aguinaldo, with his advisers,
has returned here from Paris. He an
nounces himself as being very indig-
nant at the statements made by Mai,
Gen. Wesley Merritt in reply to the ar
raignment of American officers made
by the insurgent iunta of Hong-Kong
in an open letter to President Mckinley
and the people of the United States
through the press. The general situa-
tlon also displeased Agoncillo, and, aft
er recalling to an interviewer: ssHow
the Filipinos have loyalty yand effective
ly aided the Americans" he added:
Gen Merritt's reference to the
Filipinos as 'children.' is simply an
echo OF Spanish saying and he may,
like the Spaniards, find his error when
it is too late.
II am afraid the Filipinos will never
again submit to the yoke of a colonial
government. Rather than live again as
slaves, they will fight to the bitter end
in defense of their rights and freedom.
My instructions are to claim the recog-
milton of their independence.''
What do the Filipinos think of the
American proposal to purchase the is
lands?" Agoncillo was asked.
The opinion of the Filipino govern
ment cannot be favorable to it," he an
swered, ''as they cannot allow them
selves to be bought and sold like mer-
chandise. But if the object of the mod.
crate indemnity is that their recogni-
ton and peace be established, do not

Aguinaldo's agent was then asked
what form of government the Filipinos
would prefer if they could not get COM
plete independence. but declined to an
swer on the ground that it would be
premature to do so; but expressed
confidence in the honor of the Amer
lean nation and President Mckinley,
who will not permit any misunder-
standing"

A KEYNOTE

After the battle that destroyed Ger
vera's fleet, and while the smoke of
the combat still filled the air, CAPTAIN
Jack Philip the brave commander of
the Texas, called his officers and crew
together, and raising his hand to COM
mand silence, said:
Il want to make public acknowl-
edgement here that l believe in God.
the Father Almighty. l want all YOU
officers and men to lift your hats and
from your hearts offer thanks to the
Almighty"
These were no idle words. This was
no mp service. 1t was the expression
of the deepest fact that lies in the
heart of humanity. This old blue
jacket, brave as lion, steps forth
from the CRIME of battle into the glow
OF victory, and thinks of God the first
thing, and ascribes to him all the
glory. lnis is grand event. The
idle and thoughtless will see only
sentiment and romance in it, They
will refer to it as the subject of a
poem. But it is the supremest logic
of the battle. 1t is the truth unveiled
by the souls severest struggle In
the presence of this mighty utterance,
how wretched is our frivolous unbe-
lief.-lronton Register.

OUR OBLIGATIONS

We shall fail in our superior duty to
civilization, therefore, if in the COM
ing settlement with Spain we weakly
yield TO the sentiments of sympathy
and generosity so far as to leave with
in the grasp of that dead hand any
territory or any people that we can
lawfully and honorably rescue and de-
liver forth We know that sympathy
and generosity are of the nobler emo
tions. We acknowledge that the
American people cannot without dis
credit and reproach be Indifferent to
their promptings But let us sympa-
thize with the spirit of human pro-
gress; let us be generous to the liberal
and humanizing tendencies of the age.
A sympathy that granted indulgence
TO Spain to continue her colonial pol
icy of savagery would be mistaken.
A generosity that cheated downtrod-
den peoples of this opportunity to be
free and prosperous would be blind.
We must be just to ourselves. We are
an enlightened people and must not
pretend TO be the dupes of a sophisti-
cal pleading for sympathy and gener-
osity. We cannot fool ourselves or
deceive the world. For reasons of
law and humanity we set out to free
Cuba from the rule of Spain. Through
the necessities Of war our task has un-
expectedly broadened and our eyes
have been proportionately opened to
the true measure of our opportunity
and our duty.-New York Times.

PRIZE MONEY.
The Great Big Lions Share Goes to a
Man Who Wasn't There.

II is an interesting fact that Admir-
al Sampson, unpopular as he is with
the public at present for his supposed
effort to monopolize the glory for de-
stroying Cervera's feet, when, in fact,
he was far away and the battle was
actually fought by Commodore Schley
will receive the lions share of the
head money" The law explicitly
provides that the commanding officer
shall have one-twentieth part of all
prize money awarded to the ships un-
der his immediate command.
This will give Admiral Sampson
over $4,000 as his share for the work
of a week ago last Sunday. But 1t
should be remembered that this is
only a part of the extra money that
Admiral Sampson is making, because
of the decision of the Navy Depart
ment to place him in command over
the fleet, thus temporarily jumping
him over Commodore Schley, who
ranks him by several points. Ad-
miral Sampson will receive share in
all the prizes captured in those waters
since the war began. The Pedro, one
of the captured vessels, was sold to
the government the other day for
5000 900, one half of which goes to the
captors. Out of that prize alone Ad-
miral Sampson will receive about
$4,000, and it is only one of many val
liable prizes that were taken in West
Indian waters.
While the Admiral in command of
a feet must always be given his share
of prize money the ships of his fleet
can be allowed to share only when
they are within signal distance of the
fray, and, therefore, in a position to
give effective aid, if needed. The
New York will, threfore, share in the
head money" Commodore Schley,
who appears to deserve most of the
glory for the battle, will receive only
about $4,000 of the head money"
The law prescribes that the command
ing officer of division shall receive
one-fftieth share. The United States
fleets are organized on a somewhat
different plan now than when this law
was enacted, so that the commander
of squadron really corresponds to
the commander of a division men
TONED in the statute. AS commander
of the second squadron of the feet,
Schley will receive his
one-nll.eth part of the head money"
but Commodore Howell, who is in
command of squadron also, will re-
ceive nothing because he was away at
Key West, and his ships were in no
position to render immediate aid.
After these two shares have been
taken out, the money will be appor-
toned among the vessels of the fleet
that took part in the engagement
The law provides that every COM
mander of single vessel shall receive
one-tenth part of the prize money
awarded to the vessel in his command
There were seven big warships that
will be entitled to share in this dis
tribution-the battleships Oregon,
Iowa. Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Texas. and the cruisers New York and
Brooklyn. Some smaller ships, in
,luding the Gloucester and the Vixen,
will also be entitled to a share. as
