a hundredtold more experienced in govern
ing colonies than we are. That shows con-
clusively how pride and Jealousy OF Europe
and an original earth h-hunger possess the
American imperialst rather than single
desire to meet his moral responsibility"
For II is certain that we can be under no
real moral obligation to give to the Philip
pines stable government and prevent an
archy there so long as there are other
civilized western powers whose proper field
is the old world, that would assume the
responsibility.
This talk Of the expansonists about our
moral responsibility reminds one OF the
answer of the darky who was robbing a hen
roost. His companion had some moral
scruples and asked IL 1t was not stealing
they were engaged in. Dat be a great
moral question, Sambo," replied the other

The French government has had the op-
portunity of vindiCating itself in the eyes
OF the world by allowing man widely be-
leved to have been unjustly condemned, an
opportunity for proving his innocence, but
it is still problem whether it will do so.
Indeed there is a suspicion in some quarters
that to reopen the case by public trial,
while relieving the German kaiser, might in
volve France in a war with Russia and
prove the death OF the Franco Russian alli-
anCe. However that may be, France would
gain immensely in the estimation Of the
rest Of the world by adopting a frank and
open policy in reference to this case in lieu
Of that mystery and secrecy which have
brought the army, the courts and the ad-
ministration into suspicion. Until that is
done its policy will be cause OF dissension
and commotion at home and unfavorable
criticism abroad.

The republican party is united in support
of the St. Louis declaration, while the
democratic party is still more seriously di-
vded on the money question. The sound
money democrats all over the country are as
determined as ever in their opposition to
free silver. In some states they have sue
ceeded in capturing the regular organiza-
tion; in others that organization has, OF its
own motion, cut loose from the Chicago plat
form; in still others the sound money demo-
Gratis stand aloof from both parties, though
they will vote for sound money candidates

One central high school will suffice
for Omaha until it doubles its popula-
ton. When that time comes the taxable
valuation of the city will have doubled
or quadrupled and the burden of main
tanning three high schools with three
separate teachers staffs, three separate
libraries and laboratories and training
schools will fall lighter upon taxpayers
than does the maintenance of the eX-
listing high school.

In place of the glittering generalities OF
the usual speech from the throne, the young
queen Of Holland has opened her Parliament
with some very decided and practical views,
and has announced that bills for social re-
forms, among them improvements in the
dwellings of the laboring classes, and pre-
venton OF excessive working hours in fac
tories, will be introduced during the session.
If she keeps on in this way she will sur
round her sturdy little kingdom with most
effective dykes to keep out the flood tide of
the republican wave. A ruler standing back
of a bill to reduce working hours is a sight
TO bring tears to the eyes of the most fiery
radical.

Three years ago Il man was nomi-
mated by the Douglas county republican
county convention for the position of
justice of the peace. When the attention
of the county committee was called to
the fact that the candidate had collected
taxes in the city treasurer's office and
failed to account for them the commit
tee voted to take his name off the ticket
and substituted that of another candi
date, who was elected and now holds
the office. At that time the new chair
man of the Douglas county republican
committee was chairman of the judicial
committee, but he did not consider it
"out of order" to reconstruct the conf
mittee in the interest of the party and
good government The revision of the
ticket in 1895 involved only a petty JUS
tice of the peaceship, while the reorgani-
zation in 1898 involves United States
senatorShip and incidentally may involve

Kingston, j m., Nov. 30 Gen. Mas

.pecting the United States to speedily
recognize their ability to manage their
