The New York Tribune trep) notes that
the victory of Manila was a military meas
ure, which brought political results far
! greater than could have been anticipated
| 1t says: when once this water-logged
wreck of the Philippine Islands was picked
| up by Admiral Dewey there was nothing
/ for a Christian nation to do but to take
| care of 1t and the millions of lives on
| board as well as IL could" Outlining the
| Spanish course in the islands the Tribune
| continues:
We have to do better Spain has been a
century behind the age and this nation
could not get twenty years behind II if it
| tried. Mistakes will be made; that goes
without saying when fallibe human beings
undertake great and new task. Is there
any American who soberly believes that
the worst possible mistake OF Americans
will not result better than Spanish govern
ment last year? Here we stand, with this
strange and undesred responsibility upon
US. 1t is stupid now TO ask whether it
could have been avoided, for it is here. II
! is simply idiotic to imagine that an an
archie rule by savage chiefs would be bet
| ter for the islands than such rule as an
American soldier can give. What is left for
the opponents of the treaty? Nothing but
claim that the United States in 1895 has
not the right to acquire territory which
Jefferson exercised in 1904 and Seward in
1864. This is our chore in the worlds prog
ress, coming to US without choice, but not
America f1unk?'
The Pittsburg Times says we must learn
more about the Philippines before We can
decide what measures of government to
apply to them. They are a new factor In
our national intelligence. Therefore, the
consideration of the future policies should
be postponed until Congress can act with
perfect understanding.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press rep) exults
over the news that Spain has yielded to
| the American demands and deprecates the
New England opposition to annexation. 1t
| outlines the grounds of this opposition and
says:
1T is a shameful libel upon the Ameri-
| can people to say that they are not as
| capable of giving wise, just and benef1cent
government to colonies as the Eng
| lsh. 1t is a more shameful libel still to
deem them capable. by reason of such
| cowardly fears. of drawing back from the
high duty which Providence has i'm
posed upon them Of giving such govern
| ments to those people, or of the stupen-
| dous crime of restoring them to the cruel
rule of Spain.''

Christmas is a time when the home
should be made as pleasant and attractive
as possible, and so it is appropriate that 1T
this season of the year the house should bs
frightened up with additions of new fur
niture, carpets and furnishings. If one is
unable to refurnish the home place from
attic to cellar for the holidays bright Iits
OF new stuff should be added to each -oon
p Grogan, at S17 to S23 9Th street north-
west, is offering especially attractive arti-
cles of household goods for the holidays at
prices low enough to be taken advantage
of by the poorest. His system of credit TO
all admits Of purchases for the holidays
that may be paid for weekly or monthly,
so that the outlay is hardly felt at all.
Holiday gifts in Mr. Grogan's mammoth
establishment are as numerous as The
blades of grass I'm a kentucky field. What
more appropriate gift for the elder mem-
bers of the family can be imagined than a
nice, comfortable rocking chair? Mr.. Gr1-
gan has a full line of fancy rockers at
tractive and luxurious. Then there are
fancy tables, parlor and piano lamps of all
descriptions and other fancy articles m
Vulnerable. All to be had at Grogan's, who

Dog without a Tag,

Thomas Chase, the owner of an unlicensed

usual charge"

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-09-11
Big Bike Journey.

This Sunday morning, bright and
early, Mr.. Frank Hagan and Mr.. Kel-
ly Judd will start on a bike tour of
pretty large proportions.
Leaving Marietta, they will go up
the Muskingum river road to Zanes-
vile, and from there will proceed to
Columbus. From the Capital City
they will go to Toledo, of course taking
in the towns that lie between. Leav-
ing Toledo, they will make run to-
ward the north pole as far as Detroit.
Here they vii. begin to get homesick,
and doubtless they will turn south.
Their path will then lead them to San
dusky and Cleveland, whence they will
peda across the country to Wheeling,
and then, if physically able, they will
follow the Ohio river bank to Will
Jamestown, where they will ride out
onto the pontoon, hail the ferry boat
and land in Marietta.
The two wheel enthusiasts expect
their journey TO last about two weeks.
