HOLD rHE PHILIPPINES.

Why doth President Mckinley, as the
protocol he signs,
Leave as undetermined still the future
of the Philippines?
We have brought the naughty Spaniard
to his knees to sue for peace,
Are we only wise In battle? Are we
fools when fightings cease?
Shall we with a child's abandon throw
what we have won, away
Counting as OF no advantage, this, our
gateway to Cathay?
Yield again unto the foCmaD, land
whereon our boys have trod.-
Land he could not hold against us !
Never. In the name Of God:
Hark you. President Mckinley, there are
struggling peoples there
Shall we turn their shouts OF sladness
into waillngs OF despair?
'Gainst the centuries OF bondage, thcy
have almost won their fight.
Striving upward from oppression into
liberty and light!
With the arms which we have furnish
ed. they have tasted freedoms
bliss.
Shall we i'm our hour OF triumph stoop
to treachery like this?
Make them now in meek submission
kiss again the tyrant's rod
Give them back unto the spoiler? New
or, In the name OF Godi
Think. Mckinley, what q figure we
should cut before the powers.
BY the terms Of the surrender. all the
islands now are ours
Ours their problems. ours their future,
ours their fate for veal or woe.

A GIRL QUEEN.

In striking contrast TO the pathetic
situation confronting the boy King AL
fonso XIII. or Spain is that which well
comes the young girl. Wilhelmina
Helena Pauline Maria, who tomorrow,
on her eighteenth birthday. becomes
Queen OF the Netherlands.
Not since Victoria OF England was
awakened from slumber one morning TO
receive the intelligence that she was n
queen over a mighty empire. has the
world known a monarch so fair or SO
fetching as Wilhelmina OF Holland.
And naturally the world is taking a
great interest in her just now upon the
close OF her mothers regency and her
own accession to the throne. When she
Is crowned, which ceremony is not to
take place until next week. the world
Will rejoice with Holland, and the six
thousand pigeons that will be liberated
to carry the news through the little
kingdom will signify the hope OF all
peoples for a long and peaceful reign.
For the week intervening between the
birthday and the coronation day and
for several days thereafter the Dutch

Gus colonies far across the seas will
feast and make merry, in no conspicu-
ously staid and stiff fashion, we may

no one will enjoy the festivities more
heartily than the girl queen herself, I'm

William H., the Dutch didn't think
much, and their poor opinion OF him
was amply justified. William III. was
quite too gay even for a far gayer COM
pany than sober Dutchmen. But he is
to be applauded for marrying a second
time in his old age and becoming father
to such an attractive young woman as
baby Wilhelmina has grown to be. Ac-
today. the Dutch may well
be disposed to remember him kindly.
And, after the coronation, all the SUBJ
jects OF the young queen will naturally
interest themselves in her betrothal
prospects. There Is more than mere
sentiment about this matter, for the fu-
ture of the throne and of the country
depends upon 1t. 1t is said that the
young queen has a mind OF her own

"UNcLE DICK" THOMPSON.

Some years ago a new Journal re-
porter went out West to report for his
paper a national Republican conven-
| tion. With a sharp but untutored eye
for the political figures that were
prominent in the proceedings, he was
quick to discover one whom the con-
vention warmly applaudcd for no rea-
son that the new reporter could dis
cover. So the reporter dismissed him
as "garrulous old party by the name
OF Thompson"
This man, so fiippantly referred to by
the youthful reporter unacquainted
with his country's political history. was
Richard w. Thompson. whose reputa-
tion had been made long before the
Journals young man had begun his
employment as a censor of public men
and measures. Indeed, Thompson was
a conspicuous figure even before the re-
porter had arrived at the distinction OF
kits. And we are reminded Of the cir
cumstance by the passing of the gar
rulous old man" finally from his long
continued activities now. perhaps, a
dozen years after the time that the ir-
reverent reporter made his note sug-
gesting that he had no right. by reason
OF age, to engage In contemporary pro-
ceedings.
Very likely "Uncle Dick" Thompson,
like another Gladstone. exercised no
great influence upon affairs at the time
the Journal reporter first beheld his
venerable visage. But, like Gladstone,
he remained TO receive the cordial rec
ognition and deserved honors OF his fell
low citizens for some time after he had
ceased to materially cut figure. And

national convention was held, and In
which the Journal reporter assisted. he
