FUTURE OF PHILIPPINES.
spRtn's Total Neglect In Civiiixins
Them Must lie Made Good by
the United states.

Spain's government of the Philippine
Islands, il somewhat less brutal than
her rule in Cuba. has been as great a
failure as civilizing agency, and Com
modore Dewey's victory merely has
tened the downfall of a system which
was already falling to pieces from
sheer rottenness. Indeed, the wonder
is not that rebellions should have been
SO frequent, but that Spain should so
long have kept her hold on the turbu-
lent islanders. She made the initial
mistake of never thoroughly conquer
ing the wild tribes she intended to rule.
OF the 1000 inhabitants, it is estimated
that over 100000 have always main
tanned their independence. Instead of
completing her work of conquest, Spain
contented herself with a quasi-sover-
eighty over Manila and Luzon, and used
the archipelago as a basis for fantastic
attacks on Siam, China and Japan. She
made further mistake in dividing her
authority between the church and
state, with the inevitable result of
breeding conflicts and jealousies, and
destroying the possibility of strong,
central administration. She erred
again in permitting and even encourag-
ing the propagation of those wretched
uutcasts whose birth and position are
n pledge for rebellion and dissent-the
Spanish and Chinese half-oreeds' but
the great secret OF her failure TO colon
ize successfully lay in lack of that
common, everyday patriotism that
makes governing official look Tor no
reward beyond that of duty well per-
formed and salary honestly earned.
Under such a government no de-
pendency could prosper, and it is safe
to say that of all the colonies subject
to a European power the Philippines
of late years have been the most back
ward, the least provided with roads,
railways, and other public works, and
the most turbulent. There is as much
work left for us to do there as though
the Spanish had never existed ana IL
is just the kind of work for which the
growth and orderly government OF our
own land show that we are htted. Inc
genius for colonization is inherent IN
our race, and more than equal even IN
the difficult task OF governing the
Philippines. There is no use IN unGer-
estimating the greatness OF the prop
lem. To maintain order among 1,oOO,-

There are at least a dozen claimants

Carlos asserts that. as the last Of the
Bourbons, he Is heir to the thrones of
Spain and France. The Due d'Orleans
considers himself King of France, and
there is Bonapartist claimant also.
The Duke of Cumberland is known as
King Of Hanover, and the Princess
Louis Of Bavaria is sometimes saluted
as the last of the Stuarts, and the right
full heiress to the English throne. The
Duke Of Braganza is n pretender to the
throne of Portugal. There are six
other wandering heirs to lost European
crowns. These claimants have never

eign on Bonded knees with their fore
heads upon the ground and partition
shutting off the view of royalty. The
rules governing sovereigns were mex
orable. Nothing, even death itself,
could change a law. 1t was to such a
life as this the beautiful young Mar
garet was doomed. When she was
sought to take her place as the sover-
eign of the people she protested and de-
clined the office. But there was no get
ting rid of the responsibility. She was
Queen by right, and she must be Queen
in fact. They brought her against her
will into the palace, the inaugural cere-
monies were performed, and she was
initiated into the seclusion Of a palace
that in reality was prison. Although
the first lady of the realm she did not
enjoy the privileges or freedom OF the
meanest slave.
1t was about three years ago that she
became Queen, and since that time one
can only fancy the life Of sorrow she
must have lived. Only once was she
outside the palace walls in those three
years, and that was to attend the flu
neral of her father.
A bamboo box was made in which
she was carried to the graveside. The
sides of the cage were thickly matched
with palm leaves, preventing her from
seeing anything that was going on out
side. Near the top of the bamboo struc-
ture were ventilation openings, but
these were so screened that she could
not see out. At the grave she could
hear the clods FILLING upon the coffin
lid, but could see nothing. She could
hear the means and walls Of the
mourners, but received no real sym
pathy. When the grave was closed in
she was carried back to her prison and
her life of hopeless loneliness. That
was about a year ago.
Some weeks ago the Ocean Spray was
driven out of her course and stranded
lives swarmed around and welcomed
the whites. They told the captain of
the Illness Of their Queen, and he,
knowing something of the circum-
stances, secured permission for his
wife to see the Queen. From his wife's
report he concluded that the unfortu-
nate royal prisoner was merely suffer
ing from a cold. He prepared some
medicine for her from his chest and
gave 1t to the chiefs, saying that it was
only cold, and if they followed his di-
rections and gave the medicine she
would be all right.
They accepted the medicine with n
great show of gratitude, went away,
called council Of chiefs, and after
long and careful deliberation decided
that it would be dangerous to give her
the white mans medicine. If she had
n cold the proper remedy was an appli-
cation of heat The priests built a num-
Der of fires on the beach. The Queen

A good illustration of the necessity
of public sentiment thoroughly
aroused in favor of the enforcement Of
judicious laws is seen In the annual
occurrence of destructive forest-tires
in the timbered regions of the North
west. Stringent fire laws have been
enacted, and there are live State for
estry organizations, but forest fires as
devastating as ever occur whenever
droughts prepare the material. For
destructiveness the fires of the past
summer rank with the notable ones of
former years.
