Our Tenure in the Philippines.

1t would not be profitable at this
juncture to saddle ones self with any
unalterable opinions about the reIa-
lations of the United States to the fu-
tu1e of the Philippines. A great deal
must depend upon facts not yet per-
fectly i'll hand. Not only the infor-
nation that Admiral Dewey will i'm
part to our Government, but also such
opinions respecting our policy as he
may choose to express, will have great
influence in the information of public
opinion in this country. The reported
declaration of Senior Sagasta that the
signing of the protocol completely null
lilies the effect of the simultaneous
surrender of the Philippines Islands
to the American forces is of course a
piece of purely legal sophistication.
Again, it is to be remarked, we are not
dealing with metaphysics, but with
facts. Even as the sea power of Spain
had been the only amalgamating force
that bound the colonies to the mother
country, just so the Spanish Philip
pine fleet had been the only unifying
factor that kept the vast archipelago
together under the political dominion
of the governor general at Manila.
When Admiral Dewey had destroyed
the Spanish fleet on May /, the Philip
pines were no longer a unified politi-
cal group. Communication through
out the islands was virtually destroyed,
and the movement of troops from one
island to another was at an end. This
condition of affairs gave the insur-
gents their opportunity; and the out
lying detachments of Spanish soldiery
where for the most part either captured
or penned up at garrisoned points,
while the main body of troops, on the
island of Luzon, was driven into Ma
nlla, where on the 18th it was sur
rendered to the Americans. Theo-
retically, the governments at Wash
ington and Madrid are in sovereign
control of the opposing elements in
the Philippines. Actually. however,
the Philippine situation is wholly in
the hands of the men who are on the
ground. The Spanish troops in the
capital city have become our prison
ers of war. This country has, there
fore, come into full authority at
Manila, not in any sense whatever
by virtue of the protocol signed at
Washington, but wholly and COM
pletely by virtue of the terms of sur
render agreed to by the responsible
Spanish authorities in the Philippines
a number of days before the news of
the protocol had reached Manila. This
was a chance that the Spaniards them
selves took when they deferred so long
their assent to terms of peace. From

England and the Nicaragua Canal.

One of the questions that will have
to be discussed very frankly between
the United States and England in the
near future is that of the political
control of the Nicaragua Canal. The
people of the United States have been
accustomed to look upon the Clayton
Bulwer treaty as totally obsolete and
outgrown. This view also has been
Ill general, if we mistake not, accepted
by our English friends. But there
has been some disposition to assert
that Mr.. Clayton in the SOS had sue
ceeded in tying the hands of the
American nation through all time to
come as respects an American owner
ship and control of the canal which
Will be virtually a part of our coast
line, and which we must certainly con-
struct in the near future for naval if
not commercial purposes. Joint CON
trol is not feasible proposition. In
slstence upon it by England would
seriously endanger those good rela-
tiOns between the two great English
speaking countries that are so valu-
bic to both and so essential to the best
progress of the worlds civilization.
There is not the slightest thought on
the part of the United States of anv
use or control of the Nicaragua Canal
that would not be thoroughly hospit-
able not only to England's merchant
marine, but also to the British navy.
The canal would certainly be open to
British commerce at precisely the
same rates of toll that would be charged
to ships having the American register.
1T would be long sighted rather than
short-sighted craftsmanship on the
Part of England to encourage in every
way the American construction and
control of the Nicaragua Canal. En-
gllsh trade would benefit materially.
and the political understanding be-
ween the two nations which is al
ready recognized by the continental
powers as the most important fact in
recent international tendencies-would
DO greatly strengthened. England
wishes our support in a general way
for her positions and politics in the far
East. But the value of our support
in the last resort lies in onr ability to
use our naval strength in the Pacific.
With tho Nicaragua Canal constructed
and under our control, our naval
strength as respects affairs in the Pa
cific would at once be more than doub-
led.-From "The Progress of the

A Good Candidate.

Rev. J. ID. Rigg, Editor of the Pcn-
h%"td -ncthOdiSt, has the following to
say under the above head in the last
issue of that paper.
This is not political paper in
sense that its columns are used to
boost any party; yet we feel free to
speak forth a word Of truth and sob
erness' respecting the choice of Mr..
John H. Hoffecker as candidate for
Congress by the Republicans of Della
ware. A gentleman of the old school,
of large experience in business and
banking, of broad and general culture,
integrity that is beyond dispute, a par
liamentarian, atfable, temperate and
genial, the soul of honor, loyal to his
country and his convictions, his State
would not blush to see him in the
great council of the nation. We say
this because of upwards of twenty
years acquaintance that have tested the
qualities of which we speak.

The "SmOkIess" Young Man.

SmOkeless powder will hereafter be
in demand because it does not reveal
the whereabouts of the firing party.
"Smokless" young men are in de-
mand because the absence of smoke
reveals sought-for qualities. If
business man in charge of large fnan-
cial interests were in need of a half
dozen young men to keep his books
and look after the various departments
of work requiring careful oversight,
and dozen candidates for the posi-
tiOns were called into his office, all in
good health, well dressed and in gem
eral appearance similar, six of whom
were known to be cigarette smokers, it
is most likely that the non smokers
would be chosen. There is a subtle
sort of atmosphere surrounding the
young man who is given to this useless
and hurtful habit that serves as d key
to the general life. A bit of tobacco

good basis upon which to discount a
dozen other good qualities; but some
how it has come to pass that this bit of
rolled tobacco touches and taints other
things than the young mans lips. The
belief is by careful observers that Gig
arctic smokers are too much interested
in their smoke to give individual at
tention to business that needs clear
brains and steady hands. In these
days when the young ladies are fitting
themselves for the counting house, it
would be we'll to be borne in mind by
the young men that their fair rival in
business are winning success, not only
by their aptness in accounts and the
general helpfulness of their pure pres
ence, but also that their employers
have no fear of their clerks becoming
