WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
THF PHILIPPINES

Commodore Dewey destroyed the
Spanish fleet and brought Manila sub
ject to his guns in so short time and
in such a businesslike style, that it
took the worlds breath away for sew
eral days, but as soon as people be-
gan to recover and when they got
through with the first cheers over the
phenomenal work of that officer and
his men, new and very interesting
question arose, relating to the DISPOSE
ton of the Philippine Islands.
Dewey has not taken formal posses
sion of any of the islands yet and will
not do so until an army of occupation
Is sent to his assistance. He has
Manila in his power, and that means
that he can hold the principal city of
the Philippines, but until he has act
ual possession of the islands with
forces at his command sufficient to
hold them and preserve order. we need
not borrow trouble on account of their
disposition.
The question, however, is proper
one, and this is the first time in our
history when we had anything like it
to consider.
Being at war with Spain on account
of conditions existing on the island of
Cuba, il was desirable, as war meas
ure, that the Spanish ships at Manila
should be put where they would cease
from troubling, and our navy captur-
ed some and sunk or destroyed the
rest of them and this brought the
principal city subject to our naval and
military power, leaving the formal
possession of the island, to be taken
when the army arrives.
Then the United States Government,
in accordance with rules of interna-
tional law, will be in position to de-
termine what our interests require
should be done with the conquered
territory.
When the war terminates, the con-
ditions then existing, and the then
relations between this country and
Spain, will be carefully considered by
the President and Congress before
final action is taken. We may law
fully claim and hold the islands by
conquest; we may sell them or aban-
don them-whatever is best for u.s.
Ex-senator WA. PETER.

Great Britain is about to accept a

1t is almost assured he says, as re-
suit of the Spanish American war, and
the scarcity of bread in Europe, that
there will be established in England

Sugar Beets In Kansas.

A bulletin has been issuse from the
Kansas Agricultural College Expert
ment station, by Prof. Willard. The
station received 200 pounds of suga,
beet seed, last spring, from the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
This seed was distributed to 393 farm
ers in Kansas. Samples for analyst.
were sent to Prof. Willard last fail
by $50 of the 593 persons.
In many cases the beets show a fail
percentage of sugar. The beets ricl
in sugar came from various parts Of
the State, there being no advantage
of the northers over the southern sec
tons.
Commenting on these facts, the
Kansas Farmer says:
Possibly it may be demonstrated
that Kansas can produce beet sugar
to as good advantage as any State in
the Union. Possibly the sugar tariff
may be kept high enough to make the
price of sugar SO high as to leave a
profit on its manufacture in the Unit.
ed States.
But those who contemplate invest
ing time or money in developing a
sugar industry will find, on investisa-
ton, that there is but one primary
customer for sugar in this country,
and that is the sugar trust. This
trust buys at its own price and does
not permit dealers to handle sugar
which has not passed through its
hands.
1t is well that the investigation of
the problems of sugar beet production
continue. Possibly the future may
witness an emancipation of the sugar
industry from the incubus of the sug-
ar trust. In that case tariff suffi-
GENTLY high to equalize the cost of
production here with the low cost of
production in Cuba may enable the
produce the sugar used by the people
of this nation. 1t is not impossible,
however, that the destruction of the
power of the trust may necessitate
the. destruction of tariff protection
also. Should Cuba, after firmly es-
tablishing her independence, seek and
obtain admission as Territory or a
State of our Union, she will be able
TO produce our sugar at figures which
will make beet sugar manufacture In
this country an absurdity.

All, how nice Of you to know my
name, Mr.. Lansing, she said, with a
smile, of which, even in that first
moment, he could not but note the
charm. It is so embarrassing to speak
it ones self. OF course, knew you,
from seeing you in our pulpit when
you came over to make that Christ
mas appeal. But / must say think
you are not quite so good beggar as
DIR. Otway himself. You may have
induced some of us to give our money,
but the doctor persuaded two of us to
give ourselves. But then we would
do anything for the doctor. Don't
you think there is kind of magical
magnetism about him, Mr.. Lansing?
Lansing admitted that he had mo-
ticed the quality in DIR. Otway, but
refrained from adding that it also
seemed TO be present in large degree
in Miss Merrington herself. He found
himself thinking about her persistent
1y during the remainder of the session.
He watched her from the desk as
she sat IN the center of the class of
boys he had given her.
How pretty she was, with beauty
that would be better described by the
term handsome. There was also an
atmosphere about her that was baf-
ling to him who attempted to make
her study. And this it was that was
such a strong factor in awakening
Lansing's interest.

The banks now hold So. 2G4. 575 I'm excess

The Financier says: The conditions out
lined in the analysis of the New
York bank statement for December Dist
indicating an easier money market, are
reflected in a still more noteworthy degree
in the exhibit of the clearing house insti-
tutions for the week ending January Sth
The banks have gained heavily in cash
and deposits. and the surplus is &c. 40, s2'
larger than seven days ago.
The statement includes the dividend
period covering the first Of the year.
What this means is shown In the fact that
the clearings for the week in New York
exceeded a thousand million dollars The
expansion Of SO 502,5 800 in deposits and
the gain of S9l07 800 in cash. represent the
payments OF interest which have been
made. Part Of the increase, however,
can be attributed to the interior move
ment, which is bringing 100000 into
New York every week. This money was
first attracted by the temporary high rates
prevailing. but its return from this time
on will be a purely normal operation. The
reserves Of the New York banks for
years past have been swelled from jan
uary well into the spring season by in
terror remittances, the expansion being

As the trade balance in favor OF the

This. however, Is dependent solely on the
course OF money rates abroad. The Bank
OF England's reserve is lower than for
years but as a heavy increase Is usually
made after the beginning OF the year, It
looks as e money in Europe were follow

States. In that case. the surplus funds
OF this country viii have TO seek domes-
tic channels for employment.
IT need not be reported that there will
be necessitated a most favorable bust
ness outlook 10 absorb the full total Of
the money now available. The fact that
the Treasury Is getting on a self-sustain-
Ing basis may relieve the situation some
what by stopping the steady stream that
has been pouring into the market

factor is the gradual withdrawal OF

A very amusing instance OF the way in
which museums are imposed upon has
Just come TO light. At the French Revo-

was so mutilated, the figures which orna-
mented the beautiful Gothic tomb OF
Dagobert were thrown down, and for
the most part destroyed. all that re-
mained being the body OF hts Queen Nam
tide and the head OF his son Clovis.
When the restorers stepped in subse-
quently, they made the best they could
OF the bits, putting the sons head on
the mothers body and calling II the
Refine Nantilde. Not very long ago more
intelligent restorers put an end TO this
absurdity, and there are now TO be seen
at ST. Denis two statues, on which the
original portions or each are preserved.
