thing. The English are now commend
ing the decision of the administration to
take the whole Philippine archipelago,
and we accept the commendation CRATE
fully. If we were going to point out the
most valuable res alt that had flowed
from the war we should point to the i'm
provement of the relations between this
country and England. or COURSE we
have freed people, but whether there is
much satisfaction to be got out of that
depends upon whether the people show
themselves worthy of freedom, and
that is at this time doubtful
to say the least. But the improve
ment of our relations with England
is an accomplished fact. We are no longer
anxious to twist the lions tail, we
| wouldn't do it now, we are inclined to
think, even for the sake OF the Irish vote.
This change is very gratifying, and it is
| to be opedsthere will be no relapse into
the former condition.
| but while the cid policy of finding out
where England was, and what England ap-
peared to want Us TO do, and then getting
as far away as possible, was unwise even
to the point of absurdity, it VIII be no
less unwise to take too much stock in
England, like any other nation, is look
| ing out first of all for herself. She is no
less selfish than she used to be simply
because we like her better than we did
once. When she expresses satisfaction at
our determination to claim the whole
Philippine archipelago, we may be sure
that the primary reason for her Joy is
because she believes that our establish
ment there will help her. She is praoti.

tie short of an avowed snemy, with
France her relations are strained almost
to the breaking point, and Germany is
not sympathetic. With us established in
the East she feels confident that she will
have a friend. That is the real reason
for her qualification over our determina-
tion to hold the Philippines. Her COM
mendation by no means tends to show
that possession of the Philippines
! is likely to promote our true
interests, or that she even thinks
it is. 1t is worthless as evidence of the
wisdom of our decision. Indeed, when
| we understand the real secret of it, name
ly, that we are likely to be forced by our
situation to be her ally, in case of trouble
between her and other European powers
| in the East, it is really evidence of its
unwisdom, because it shows that we are
putting ourselves in position to become
embro led in controversies to which here
tofore we have been happily strangers.

The third quarterly meeting of the
State Board of Health an adjourned meet
ing, was held Monday at the secretary s
otfics in the State House. The members
were all present except DR.. WedgeWood,
whose absence was due to illness. The
secretary reported on an outbreak OF
diphtheria at Jackman and measures
which were taken by the board to aid the
local board ny sending DR.. Bryant and
otherwise.
Ihe sccrstary reported that in accord
ance with the instructions of the board,
he inquired of Surgeon General Stsrnberg
| in June, whether this board could in any
way CO cooperate with him or his surgeons
in the preservation of the health of the
troops from this state, and saying If so,
the board would be pleased to be at his
command. The reply of the surgeon gen.
eral that he knew of no way in which the
State Hoard could be o assistance to the
medical deJ artment in caring for the
health f the troops from this state, was
undoubtedly the only reply which could
have been properly made at that time.
1t seemed to the board, however, that it
might have rendered help to the medical
department. after the First Maine had re-
turned from Chickamauga, if it had been
authorized to do so. Reporting on the
prevalence of typhoid fever at Camp
Powers the secretary stated that he had,
at request visited the camp severSal time
with Adiutant General and Surgeon GEN
eral May pury. and had given his opinion
IS to various sanitary measures, particu-
larry with reference to disinfection and
the management of the sinks.
The subject of rules and regulations for
the transportation of dead bodies. and the
question: of approval of the rules which
have been adopted by several state boards
of health, and by the National Under
takers association, was discussed. Action
was however, deferred to the next meet.
ing of the board. The committee on
vaccine was asked to investigate the COM
parative value and advantages of
glycerinated vaccine lymph, and vaccine
lymph ON points, and to report to the
board at future meeting.
AS work for 1898. the secretary was au-
thorized to make a study of the question
of infant hygiene, and especially of infant
feeding, and to prepare popular circula"
upon the snbjecU with view to iessening
the mortality among infants. The sani-
tarium and out door air treatment of con-
sumptives which the secretary was, last
year, authorized to invetigate, will also
be carried on during the coming year.

OBITUARY.
MRS. GEORGE LEON WALKER.

Mrs. georgia Leon Walker died early
Sunday morning at the Elm Tree Inn,
Pennington, Conn. Her death was
wholly unlocked for. The strain OF her
husband illness had told much on her
frail constitution, and she had gone, ~
medical advice. to Pennington for few
days' change of scene An acute conges.
tion of the lung ended suddenly in heart
paralysis. Her stepson and drughter-in.
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Williston Walker,
were with her at the time of her death.
Mrs. Walker was born January 8, 1881,
at Thompson, Connecticut, the youngest
daugher of George and Maria (Read)
Larneu. On September 15, 1870, she was
married to the Rev. George Leon Walker,
then pastor of the First Church, in New
Haven. Nearly two years residence in
Europe, 1874, by reason OF her nus
bands i'll health, were followed by i've
wears in which Brattleboro, VT, was her
home. For number of years DIR. Walker
was settled in Portland, where he was
pastor OF State street church.
Mrs Walker was woman OF unusual
winsomeness of temperament. Cheerful
and courageous in spite of the years of
inyalidis.n which afflicted her before and
after her arrival in Hartford, her most
prominent trait, aside from her warm
Christian faith, was her ready sympathy.
The funeral took place at the First
(Center) church, Hartford, yesterday
afternoon at $3.50.
MRS. II. e. MOODY.
Mrs H. E. Moody. who lived at Cush-
ings Point, died of heart disease yester
day noon at 1920 O'Clock. Had she
reached the fifteenth of this month she
ould have been rs years old. She has
long been resident of South Portland,
but for some time past has been confined
to the vicinity of her home because OF her
sickness.
Three daughters. all of whom are mar
ried, and one son, survive her.
GEORGE L. MITCHELL.
George L.. Mitchell Of Maiden, Mass,
was inferred at Evergreen cemetery yes
rerday afternoon. Mr. Mitchell was born
in Scarboro 5S years ago. He has lived
in the vicinity of Boston for the last 2
years. He was widely known as an ex-
pert horse-shoer and at his shops was
done most of the fancy shoeing for the
race tracks. He was genial man and
much liked, and will be greatly missed
by q large circle of f.acquaintances in this
vicinity, as we'll as in Boston.

Probably we shall get the Philippines
without any more fighting with Spain,
for even If she should withdraw from the
conference and refuse to cede the islands,
she could offer no effective resistance to our
taking possession of them. Our trouble
is likely to be with the natives. There is
abundant reason to believe that even on
the island of Luzon, where the natives
have been accustomed to be ruled by a
foreign power, there is much opposition
to our stepping into Spain's shoes. But
in some of the islands, notably Mindanao,
the natives have been practically inde-
pendent, Spain never having been able
to subdue them. On these islands we
shall not be permitted to assume author
ity without resistance. 1t is entirely mis-
leading to speak of these islands as al i.
ready under our dominion. They are not
in any sense of the word. Deweys guns
command a certain amount of territory
around Manila, and Merritt's troops hold
that city. But we have no more real hold
on the other islands than we have on
Japan or China.

OF course if we are going to conquer
and hold the Philippines we must have a
large regular army. One hundred
thousand men will be none too many.
That increase must augment the past ex

must come out of the American masses

The Court of Cessation has apparently

Two thirds of the Senate must vote for
the annexation of the Philippines before
it is accomplished. Two thirds of the
Senate could not be obtained in favor OF
the annexation of Hawaii, though the
arguments in favor of that proposition
were vastly stronger than any can be
adduced in favor of the Philippines and
the objections vastly less. If we had not
been taught by experience that statesmen
sometimes changed their votes without
changing their minds we should say that
the consummation of the Philippine an.
nexation scheme was responsible.
The Portland daily press., 1898-11-02

The Concord Monitor is glad to hear
that we are to demand the entire Philip
pine group, but it doesn't like the propo
sition to pay SAC, 900, 900 for them, through
the assumption of the Philippine debt. The
American people, 1t says, look upon them
as the fruits of the war. But we thought
this war when it began was a war in the
interests of humanity purely. Indeed we
seem to recollect that both the President
In his message and Congress in its deola,
ration declared that to make this war a
war Of conquest would be to prostitute it
from Its high and noble purpose What
then is meant by saying that the Ameri
can people regard the Philippines as
fruits of warp Is it to be interpreted
to mean that the declaration of the repre-
sentatives of the people was mere hypo-
critical can't, or have the American people
changed their. minds and now want to
change what was begun as war for hui
manity into war of conquest?
