MoRr sLEEr roR YOUNG roL1s.

movement of considerable interest
which started in Philadelphia a few days
ago has extended to Washington. II is of
special interest to young people who go
a great deal into society. Some Phila-
delphia ladies took the position that 1t is
very injurious to the health of both young
women and young men 10 be at balls and
receptions until two or three O'Clock in the
morning for several nights out of eacn
week during what is called the social
season. They undertook to bring about
reform by having the hours for the begin
ming of social functions changed from the
late hour at which they now begin to about
9 o'clock and to have the functions to end
promptly at midnight. They have not as
yet met with much success. The movement
promises to meet with more favor in Wash
ington than in Philadelphia. Some of
the leading ladies of the Capital City have
taken II up and are trying to make the
reform success
A young girl who goes through an en-
tire social season, keeping in
touch with all of the prin-
cipal social events, is likely to look
as if she had just recovered from a spell
Of sickness al the end of the season. Few
Young men can endure the strain without
injury TO health. They are not as FORUM
ate as the girls, because they must be up
early in the morning to attend to bust
ness. for which, as a rule, they are in cn
unit physical condition. Not a few Of
them have to resort TO stimulants to keep
them going 1t is not to be wondered as
that so many of them fail TO get ahecs
in the world. They cannot keep the pace
that social life demands and at the same
time do justice 10 their employers, or to
their own business if they are in business
on their own account or engaged in profess
sional work The proposed reform ought
! to succeed, and it ought to be inaugurated
in every city where there is much social
life. There is no reason in going to ball
| az midnight and remaining until O'Clock
in the morning. Why not go at O'Clock
! and leave al midnight?

DEWEY AND THE PHILIPPINES.


The Secretary of the Navy has recon-
n1ended in his annual report that the grade
of admiral be revived in order that II may
be conferred on Rear Admiral Dewey ana
the newspap ers throughout the country
appear TO favor the recommendation. Inc
whole country is proud Of Admiral Dewey
His victory at Manila was remarkaDie
one 1t was not only tremendous factor
in bringing the war with Spain to
speedy end but it has given the United
States possession of the Philippines
vast territory containing between S'oO'V"
and 100000 Inhabitants. But would ne
not have served his country better il ne
had left Manila as soon as he had de-
stroyed the Spanish ships and forts thereF
That is a question that Is certain 10 re-
oeive a great deal Of attention before the
treaty of peace is ratified.
Attention is strongly directed to this
matter by the remark of Judge Day, the
chairman of our peace commissioners
made Immediately after the Spanish com
mssioners had agreed to cede TO TINS
country the Philippines The remark as
stated in our foreign dispa tehes, was as
follows: 1--WE have done the only thing
possible regarding the Philippines. Our
opportunity of giving them up was lost
when Admiral Dewey did not weigh an
Choir and sail away
This remark indicates that the Presi-
dent and his cabinet would have been
glad if Admiral Dewey had sailed away
as soon as he had done what he had been
directed to do. He had been commanded,
it will be remembered, TO find and destroy
the Spanish fleet in Asiatic waters. Judge
Day was Secretary of State at the time
of the battle of Manila, and, of course,
knows what the feeling in the cabinet IN
respect TO the matter was But what was
to hinder the President from ordering Ad-
miraI Dewey away from Manila as soon
as cable communication with him was
opened? The remark of Judge Day seems
10 blame Admiral Dewey for not leaving
Manila Immediately after the victory there,
and it also seems to indicate that il was
TOO late to order him away when It be-
came possible 10 communicate with him.
To begin with, the islands will cost us
800. 900 900, and the annual cost viii be as
much more probably, not taking into ac-
count the lives that will be sacrificed IN
establishing and maintaining govern
ment on the Islands. Time alone viii tell
whether the victory, sweeping and great
as it was, will not eventually prove to
have been a dearly bought victory. In
saving this however, it doesn't follow that
Admiral Dewey should not have all the
honor that the government can confer on
him. He deserves all that his admirlns
fellow citizens desire to have conferred
upon him, because he won imper.shab1e
glory for the navy and his country
Whether or not it will turn out that the
possession of the Philippines will prove
of great benefit to the United States is
a question that is entirely separate from
Admiral Dewey's achievement in Manila
| bay.

The Charleston News and Courier, i'll
commenting on the incident of the ground

prevent a collision, says; 1--WE felt at the
time that the Chester was sent to Savan-

but refrained from saying anything
about 1t lest our motives be misconstrued."
No, there was not any danger that the
motives of the News and Courier would
have been misconstrued. When the port
of Savannah is in question it is impossible
to misconstrue the motives of the News
and Courier. II is the purpose of the News
and Courier upon every occasion, no mat
ter what, to discredit Savannah. Mean
time, it is pertinent to observe that, since
Charleston made the fight to be selected
as the port of embarkaton for the troops,
and lost to Savannah upon an unpreju-
diced consideration of the two ports it
comes with very poor judgment and bad
grace for the News and Courier to be
trying to belittle the successful contest

CAREFUL GREEK PARENTS.
Boys Were Escorted to school just
as Girls Are Vow.

The extraordinary care that the Gre
clan boy received in his formative years
made his moral training more effective
than that inculcated by the most careful
of modern parents. His general educa-
ton, coupled with skillful and continu-
Gus physical instruction. produced a
moral cultivation very similar and fully
as strict as that the Christian father
deems necessary for his daughters.
\ ~pedagoSue, generally an old and
trusted slave, led the boys to school and
called for them after it closed, carried
the books. looked out for the little boys,

he did an i%ncalculable service in prevent
ing vicious comprehensive and keeping
pure the minds Of those intrusted to his

The child was never sent off to board
