The events of war have, says the
New York Sun, imposed upon us a
general duty of protectorship and
stewardship toward all the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines We can no
longer say of the victims of long-ago
oppression, Am Imy brothers keep
err We are also bound by special
ties of houor to assure to Aguinaldo
and his comrades, whom we have in
cited to revolt, the free, permanent
and peaceable enjoyment of their
native land. Those duties we shall
best discharge by guaranteeing to
the Filippinos, the Tagaes and all
other denizens of the archipelago the
same full measure of tranquility,
order, and civil liberty which is en-
joyed by all inhabitants of territories
pertained to the United States
Guarantees against anarchy at home
and against foreign aggression only
under the Stars and Stripes can the
Philippines secure the double bless
ings
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-08-04

We agree with the Trenton State
Gazette that the citizen should have
fair understanding of the laws
under which he is living. He can get
that understanding only by reading
those laws. If they don't come under
his observation he must live in ignor-
anee of them. 1t is, therefore, for the
best interests of society that the laws
be made known far and near, and the
best medium of circulation is the
newspaper. We do not think, how
ever, that there should be such a
wholesale expenditure of public
money for the printing of the laws as
there was few years ago. The legis-
lators and publishers ought to be
able to devise some plan by which
the leading newspapers in the various
communities might be made carriers
of the laws to the people at reasonable
cost. 1t is a matter that should be
given careful consideration. .-Tren-
ton State Gazette
Although the State Gazette is Re-
publican newspaper, yet we do not
honestly believe it thinks that any
legislation on this subject can be
looked for from Republican legisla
tors. The Republicans had their
opportunity and they did not take
advantage of it.

MARTINEZ campos may not have

Martinez Campos may not have
made many friends by his plain speak
ing. but he certainly must have open
ed the eyes of his countrymen to the
utter hopelessness of their further
struggling against the inevitable
crushing defeat that the United
States is sure to administer. His at
tempt at self consolidating that Cubans
will carry on against us the same
costly, endless war that they have
waged against Spain does not alarm
us.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-08-04

The more Germany worries us
about the Philippines, the more re-
solved will we become to keep them.
The so-called imperialists have no
better friend than Admiral Diederich
although he may be utterly uncoun-
scious of the effect his actions are
having in this country. The slightest
attempt on the part of Germany to
interfere in the Philippines will unite
all Americans in firm resolve to die
in the last ditch before yielding up a
square yard of the territory we have
conquered. We may or may not keep
these islands, if we are allowed to
settle our disputes with Spain in our
own fashion, but we will most surely
keep them if any European nation
gives us the slightest reason for
an attempt at interference. Inas-
much as we are certain that Great
Britain would be glad to have us re-
tain them we can safely defy all the
rest Of Europe.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-08-04

( About all and beyond all we must
keep faith with Aguinaldo and his
fellow insurgents in the Philippines
Tt would be the climax of dishonor to
yield them up to the tender mercies
of tiger Spain after they have for sew
eral months Loyalty supported sour
cause at Manila, and have refused to
listen to the seductive voice of the
Germans. Even if we do not retain
absolute control of the Philippines
we must exercise such protectorate
over them as shall guarantee their
inhabitants immunity from Spanish
revenge. Undoubtedly our president
will insist upon this condition, for he
must know that the American Senate
will ratify no treaty of peace that
does not fully protect our allies in
the east as well as those in Cuba.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-08-04

We shall very soon learn what
President Mckinley proposes to do
about the Philippines. If he consents
to abandon them to Spain, it
would be 10 real kindness to Spain
to do so, for the insurgents would
never yield without long, bloody
conflict, which would probably lead
to Interference by the European pow
ers and Spain in the end would lose
her colonies just as surely as if we re-
tained them. 1t would be a real
kindness, after all, to our ! opponent
to insist upon keeping these in the
risk even of appearing to drive a
hard bargain with a helpless foe.

The coming OF BABY.

When a baby comes to the house
real happiness comes. The care and
anxiety count for nothing against the
clinging touch of the little bands and

ago the needs of women appealed to
DR.. Pierce, now chief fconsulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
result of his study improved by thirty
wears of practice is embodied in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
strengthens, pnrifies and makes
healthy the organs distinctly feminine.
1t gives weak women the strength
and health necessary for the produc-
ton of healthy children and it makes
the bearing of those children easy.
1t is sure to cure any weakness or de
rangenent peculiar to women; stops
pain, soothes inflammation, strength

The requestfo for an armistice pend

as good showing in the art OF end

in carrying on conflict. Unless
they keep their eyes very wide open
our adversary will gain much more
by the arts of diplomacy than she
could regain by force of arms.

The friction between Garcia and
the American commandment Santiago

courteous and diplomatic action, and
there is little doubt that it has been
greatly magnified by the yellow jour

will have to wait until the island is
conquered and American rule is fully
established before the Cubans them
selves will be allowed to assume con

i 1t is very probable that our terms

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-04-07

Quoted by Professor o. G. Marsh of Yale
University, on brain evolution, and he has
learned from his studies that animals of
the present day have larger brain than
their predecessors had; that in the brains
of animals in the same groups the size
increased progressively from the eocene
through the miocene and pllocene pc
RODS. When a species of mammal pe-
came extinct It was found that 1t had a
relatively small brain. He has also found
that the same theory held good in regard
to birds. Finally he applied his research
to man, the conqueror of all else on eartn.
The development of the brain has gone on
with the centuries, and one race after an
other has dominated-always the larger
brain. In modern man the cerebrum
overshadows all other parts of the brain
combined. Down to the present time the
larger brain race has outmatChed the
smaller although the latter has greater
brute force, as a rule. Professor Marsh,
after Weighing the brains of modern peo-
pie, has discovered that the average brain
of the Japanese is greater than that of
any other people. Fifteen years ago he
said they would figure as a great power
among nations, perhaps an overwhelm-
ing force. 1t is a matter of speculation
how they will use their brain power and
how near his prophecy will come true
New Ideas.
