When DR. Kellner complained to him of

KEEP THE PHILIPPINES.
A Sentiment of National Pride and an
UnseIfish Impulse Prompt 1t.

Arguments against the kee of the
Philippines are plentiful. TIL re good
ones, too. The islands are far Ay, their
people nomads, savages and pin. .es their
producers is uncertain; we have territory
enough already; also sufficiency of race
troubles. Clearly, the retention of these
Islands means an additional burden and ex-
pense. And yet. in spite of these good argu-
ments. the sentiment of the country seems
to be Enthusiastically for keeping them. 1t is
a sentiment not based upon their value, and
hence it is superior to all figures showing
them to be undesirable. 1t is a sentiment
that wants them whether they are desirable
or not; a sentiment willing to make mon
etary sacrifice in order to keep them. Ma
tional pride perhaps best describes this
national pride in the achievements of Dewey
and our navy. He, as our representative,
won foothold in those islands in a way
that thrilled every one of us; and we have a
would be to belittle his victory, himself and
ourselves.
Possibly all that the anti-expansionists
say of this sentiment Is true. 1t may be
primitive and unreasoning. But there it is.
a very important sentiment among those by
which human nature expresses itself; and
what are you going to do about 1t? But it
must be said that mingled with this purely
selfish sentiment is one that is unselfish, a
genuine impulse to protect the Filipinos
from the oppression of Spain, in accordance
with promises plainly implied If not worded,
and to help them in the ways or civilization.
Call it Quixotic, If you like, it persists just
the same There is Just as much human ma
ture in nation as there is in an individual.
Should these sentiments prevail. as we be-
lieVe they will, we shall keep the islands;
and. no doubt, twenty years from now we
shall be congratulating ourselves upon the
far-sghted policy that gives us a foothold
in the East forgetting that we took it
merely out of pride, mixed with philan-
thrOpy

due to it's Importance. Mr.. Hanna said:

A PROBLEM IN CHARITY.
How to Bestow Relief without En-
cOuraging Pauperism.
Washlngton Gladden, in &c Independent

Washington GLADDEN., in the Independent.
So, too, in our public charities we are de-
voting most of our resources TO the pauper-
ization of our citizens. No able-Dodled man
or woman ought ever to be compelled TO re-
ceive aims from the public treasury. If the
State or the city owes these able-bodied peo-
pie anything it is not aims, II IS employ
ment. The State or the city must not de-
grade it's citizens when they are unfortu-
nate by making paupers OF them. Inc clty
or the State may refuse to do anything Ior
the relief of able-bodied persons. 1t may
take the ground that the dangers connected
with the bestowment of aid upon the unefn-
ployed are SO grave that 1T cannot safely
make any provision except Tor the heip-
less; that those who are temporarily out or
work must depend on private charity. This
may be the wise and humane policy. But
if the State or the municipality does UNI
dertake to relieve such persons the reflex
should take the form of employment ana
not of gratuty. These abie-bodied men and
women ought to be permitted TO eat their
own bread. The public authorities must
find ways of employing them. And stone
pile is not enough. There ought to be sew
eral kinds of work open to men ana women
of this class. Genteel and easy jobs need
not be furnished; the work may well be
of the least attractive character ana the
wages certainly no larger than are earned
in ordinary trades, but it should be honest
and useful work in which the worker may
feel that he is rendering TO the community
a fair equivalent for what he Is receiving.
How to manage these is the problem or
craftsmanship. 1t is a difficult problem, no
doubt. Most of the problems which now
confront us in our local government are
difficult problems, requiring the soundest
business sense, the wisegt philanthropy and
the most unf1inching integrity. Not only
are the most serious economic questions TO
be grappled with, but the deepest interests
of character in multitudes of our people are
involved On the way in which this business
of poor relief Is handled depends the maH-
hood and womanhood of great numbers OF
our fellow-citizens. Thousands of children
in all our cities are likely under existing
to crrn nm Wi
of the pauper habit. 1t is the problem Of
craftsmanship to avert this peril.

ENGINEERING FEAT.
Railway Bridge Moved $50 Feet in
Less than Three Hours.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec 1S.-A remark
able feat of bridge-moving was accom-
plished to-day by the Chicago & North
western Railway Company, under direction
of j. S. Robinson, division superintendent
of the engineers of that road. The bridge
was single-track draw. weighing 215 tons,
and was removed q distance of $50 feet to a
new foundation in the quick time of two
hours and fifty-seven minutes. The Struc-
ture was fioated on two scows one on either
side of the center, which were sunk with
so go gallons of water. With the scows in
proper position, the water was pumped out
and the bridge gradually lifted from its
foundation and lowed to it's new resting
place by two tugs. The bridge had rendered
service since 1880, and is still in good condi-
ton, being removed to make way for a
double-track structure of the latest pattern.

Eight Men and Two Women Taken
