Explanations Needed.

fIa!s hearted Americans who write
for owspapcrs in Europe are able to do
this country much harm at present by
their misrepresentation Of our people
and their toryish attitude toward their
fellow countrymen. Such creature is
Mr.. George w. Smalley, 50 called
American correspondent Of the London
Times He lived in London too long,
did Smalley, and that was the trouble
with him. He is no American.
The nations Of Europe do not under
stand us or our motive in making war
in behalf Of Cuba. Even the govern
ments of the continental nations are
disposed to be fair where their own in
terests are not concerned. It is reason
able to suppose, therefore, that they
would look ON us at least as favorably
as on Spain if they knew the truth. Not
knowing our language, it is hard for
them to find out the truth. The ennis
saries of Spain have worked industri-
ously to poison them against u.s. It is
part Of the high minded and chivalrous
system Of Spanish state policy.
1t would be worth while if the United
States government were to secure in
each country of Europe the services of
accomplished newspaper men who Mn
derstand both our cause and our Ian
guage and have them speak for US
through the columns of leading Eu-
ropean journals. Well written, patriotic
articles might be sent to them for trans
lation, and it would not be beneath the
dignity Of the United States government
itself to attend to the matter. It would
be justice, and it would be good diplo-
macy.

Governing the Philippines.

The United States is face to face with

ent race. Great Britain has succeeded
better than any other country in that
task, except indeed in case Of that de-
tendency nearer home and inhabited by
white people like her own, Ireland.
There England has made illustrious
mistakes. .sE
There is no reason to doubt that the
United States can govern foreign de-
tendency as we'll as it has done every
thing else, although it will be- trying
our hand at something altogether new
to undertake the administration of the
Philippines. Reports Of the people Of
those islands are so conflicting that we
capnot yet tell whether to consider them
a race of fierce barbarians or a gentle,
half civilized people. We do not know,
therefore, whether we shall have to
hold them inihand with troops or sim
ply govern them according to our laws
in force in other United States terri
tories We shall find out soon.
One thing the United States govern
ment will at once look out for, and that
a most important one-the revenues Of
the Philippines. Even with her familiar
methods of cruelty and extortion, Spin
drew large profits from these islands.
Under the humane and enlightened 3D.
ministration of Uncle Sam they will in
crease rapidly in productiveness, popu-
lation aud civilization.

Those old ladies Of both sexes in
Boston and elsewhere who are whining
and scolding about the iniquity Of this
war and our meddling with what does
not concern us are the Levites who pass
by on the other side while highwaymen
beat and rob the stranger. There ale
times when war is justifiable and neceI-
sary: To oppose tyrant who is taking
away the liberties of people; to defend
in the name Of humanity and Christian
ity, the weak when they are being starv-
ed and butchered, whoever and wherever,
they are-for these ends it is right to 60
to war and give the party that is in tho
wrong a good sound thrashing. Tho
United States could not have maintains
ed its own self respect or its prestige in
the eyes of the nations had it refrained
from intervening in Cuba. It would
have shown itself like those Americans
who are opposing the stand the people
of this country have taken for Cuba.
The Cincinnati manufacturing firm
that found way to suddenly turn the
sympathy Of the French nation over to
our side are entitled to the thanks Of
the American people. Their reply to the
French business men in New York, who
wrote asking them to exhibit at the
French exposition Of 1900, settled the
matter. They said they would not have
anything to do with the Paris exposi
ton while the French people were so
unfriendly to us in the war with Spain.
The fire Of fine patriotism flashed in
those few words Immediately French
men saw great light. Straightway the
French minister at Washington visited
the state department, telling the Off.
Gals how much France had always
loved us and how she had helped us dur
ing the revolution. France always re-
members" said the minister. Maybe
France has always loved us, but here
lately she has taken . queer way Of
showing it. However, we accept her as
surances of friendship in the future and
thank her. .... g.. -. ....,

mystery of frst-love, can tend TO pro-
mote the sweetest, noblest characteristic
of manhood and womanhood. Excess of
social enjoyment, even Of the most proper
sort, is kind Of dissipation which ruins
the health of both body and soul. There
are too many candidates for matrimouy,
of both sexes, who are too much like
shopworn goods, or fruit that has been
too long in the market. 1t is bad for
people to be idle, even during vacation.
1t is mistake for young men and
young women to be left to the play of
impulses and fancies. They should be
carefully guarded against the theory
that marriage is the chief end of life.
The evolution of moral and spiritual
beauty and worth is the grand aim and
end of this life, and marrii &c should
come to those who are fitted for it, as the
call of God to 8 high and holy privilege.
Wherever there is summer society there
should be q summer school of systematic
recreation and rational association and

there are few that can surpass the trip to
Southville and down the Housatonic
river, returning through Sandy Hook.
This drive has it's advantages in more
ways than one. 1t is a drive where there
are comparatively few hills to encounter,
the only billy portions being between
Newtown and Southville and the climb
up from Sandy Hook, when returning.
There is q great variety of scenery on
this drive, winding as it does by the
babbling brook, along the hillside and
beside the still flowing river. There are
two good ways OF reaching Southville.
one by way of Hanover, which is pleas
ant, bat not as attractive as the road
running to Hawleyville, and following
mp the Shepaug railroad until it joins the
road first mentioned above Hanover.
