RIVER PARK.

The kindergarten Association in
tends to take hold of the River Park
matter. Tomorrow Mrs. Hyde will
bring before the ladies of the associa-
ton proposal for petition to the
Minister of Interior urging him to
carry out the intentions of the Leg
islature, and such petition will have
the cordial endorsement of every one
interested in the children.
1t has always been a mystery to
those who take an interest in the adj
vancement of the child population of
the city why the Minister of Interior
has been so persistent in not listen
ing to a direct order from the Legis-
lature and has set himself so firmly
against the strong pressure brought
to bear by some of the best and most
philanthropic of our people. What
the cause is remains a riddle to the
present day. but that there is a cause
is patent.
Meantime. the land that should have
been preserved for the benefit of the
poorer children of the community is
being denuded of its soil, which is
carted off to make the roads. and the
hole which has been dug filed with
salt slush from the harbor. What is
going ON is certainly something that
the members of the Cabinet are thor
oughly aware of, for their attention
has often been called to it. The la
dies are sure to succeed where the
harSher sex has failed.

TRUCE OF THE BEAR"

Rudyard Kipling has certainly the
power of writing what is talked
about His poem, Recessional, was
the best thing produced at the Jubi-
lee. and was read wherever the Eng
fish language has spread. His latest
poem, "Truce of the Bear" though in
very different vein is causing nearly
as much talk. The object of the poem
is to warn Great Britain against the
"disarmng" policy of the Car. In
the States the papers have at once ta-
ken sides. There are those VINO CON
denim the poem because il is too cy-
meal and who blame Mr.. Kipling for
doubling the sincerity of Nicholas. On
the other hand, others regard it as
strong, the sarcasm biting, and the
ridicule terrible.
The reason for Kipling's doubts as
to the sincerity of Russia is that he is
an AngIo-Indian. TO the Anglo-In-
dams the menace of Russian power
upoll the llVl NhtlIl ilOlllitI - ever III
minent. This idea runs through
many of his prose stories. Taking at
random it is mentioned in "The TAX
ing of Lungtungpen, in The Drums
of the Fore and Aft in the "Mutiny of
the Mavericks" and in "The Man Who
Was" Throughout his newspaper
career he has shown that the same
view occupies his mind. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that he should view
the Cars disarming manifesto with
the deepest of distrust. He has put
his distrust into the form of a fable.
which is the form that most appeals
to the people.
Objection is made that poets should
only write in the cause of peace, but
poetry has ever been used to rouse
national feeling. From the time of
the lame Athenian school master.
whose songs aroused the patriotism of
the Spartans, to the present, poetry
has been used to inspire a nation to
deeds of arms. \ few lines, deftly
handled, sink into the mind and re-
main there when columns of prose
flow by and are forgotten. This Kip
ling has certainly succeeded in doing.

A GOOD VERDICT.

The acquittal of Hok Yok Young.
the Chinese woman, on a charge of
poisoning her two children, will be
received with satisfaction by every
thinking person. Her tale, simply
told, was a very touching one, and
must have brought tears to the eyes
of many a one in court. But judges,
lawyers and jurymen have no right
to emotionality. They are there for
the law, and for nothing else.
The case casts a sidelight upon the
Chinese character, and shows how en-
tirely different from our mode of

the Oriental. This woman was evil

The PHILIPPINES.

The following extracts are from
letter written by Manley B. Sherman
and published in the New York SIN
Mr.. Sherman resided in Manila for
thirty years. Speaking of the riches
and productions of the islands the
writer says:
Whenever one goes into the rural
regions of the PHILIPPINE islands, one
is constantly wondering at tile extra
ordinary prodigality of nature. 1
cannot tell you the majesty of the
immense tropical forests of Negres
and Samos. Thousm of square
miles there have seldom been visited
by white man. There are literally
millions of dollars in costly woods
there, to say nothing of the valuable
herbs and barks to be had in the
same forests. The traveller in the
backwoods in the PHILIPPINES sees in
the great forests ebony, logwood. iron
wood. sapan wood, and cedar; be-
tween the forests and the gardens,
the fruit,ng trees, the orange. mango,
tamarind, guava, and cocoanut; in
the cultivated area sugar cane, rice,
hemp, tobacco. coffee, cotton, banan-
as, vanilla, cassia. ginger, pepper, in
digo, cocoa, pineapple. wheat and
corn The min erals III these regions
include gold, copper, iron, coal, quick.
silver and saltpeter. From the sea
there comes mother-of-pearl, corab
tortoise shell and amber. The animal
kingdom keeps pace with the vege-
table and the mineral. There are
goats, sheep, swine and tough little
ponies. The jungle swarms with
such a variety OF fauna that the nat
uralist finds there paradise.
Strange to say there are few beasts
of prey worthy. of note. The fora
of the country is as r1ch as the fauna.

Ill Cuba. The writer says:
Spanlards seldom remain longer
than five years in the Phillipines--in-
deed, if So long. AS fast as they de-
part for tl.eir native land newcomers
arrive to take their places. The Is
lands have been for generations a
region in which people of influence
in Madrid might come and recover
their financial losses, and where
young Spaniards in few years might
make fortune. There are, however,
several Spanish families who have
made Manila their home for years.
They are immensely wealthy and live
in beautiful old palaces in Binido.-a
pretty residence suburb OF Manila.
A genuine census has never been
taken in the PHILIPPINES, but Of
total population of about 100000 in
! Manila only about 5000 are Spanish.
The troops are relieved here once in
two years, but the rebellions have
been so many in the islands during
the last two years that the sol;liers
have been kept On duty at Cavite and
other garrisons longer than usual.
Naturally" Says Mr.. Sherman,
"the average native of the PHILIPPINES
is humble and peaceable sort OF
fellow, He has very little education
and has no knowledge of the world
outside the islands. l know men in
Manila who have held government
offices aud are accounted great sue
cesses there, who had never heard of
the United States, and asked me if
our country was anywhere near
China. ] guess they have brushed
up on their geography along that line
since left the islands. The nativea
are simple people; they love to dance,
sing and loaf. Poverty is more gen
eral than anywhere on the continent.
Under good government there
would never be suggestion of re-
beIlion, and these people would be
made prosperous"
