The entire japanese cabinet has re-
signed. That is new proof that Jap
an has really awakened and become
modernized. 1t is quite the fashion for
European cabinets to resign. Natural
ly. therefore. this most progressive of
Asiatic countries follow the European
fashion. 1t will be noted that Chinese
cabinets do not do much resigning An
emperor resigns now and then, and
from time to time viceroy loses his
yellow jacket or his peacock feather,
or his head or something, but a regular
cabinet resignation is one of the mod
ern improvements which effete despot-
isms in the far East think they can get
along without and so save expense.
Cabinet designations come high, but
Japan has to have them.

We are to add to the American navy
relics of Montojos fleet as we'll as of
Cervera's. Our Manila correspondent
notes the signing of contracts with a
Hong Kong firm for saving the wrecks
of the Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon and
Don Juan de Austria. These are all
gunboats of between 1000 and 1900 tons
displacement. The two former are
Elswick built, being launched less than
a dozen years ago, and their engines
of 2200 horse power were expected to
give them is knots, while they mount
each four 47-inch Hontorias and eight
smaller pieces. The Don Juan de
Austria was launched at Carthagena
and carries like main battery, with
ten other pieces, but has less horse
power, being credited with only IA
knots. AS the price asked for saving
these vessels is only $4,000 each, they
should pay us, apart from their value
as trophies of Deweys great fight.
Meanwhile we are beginning to get
Spanish ships from the GULF The fine
armored cruiser Infanta Malta Teresa
is already on her way to Hamptoa
Roads, and Constructor Hobson is con-
fident that he can also save the Chris
tobel Colon. The Reina Mercedes, on
| which work has just begun will GER
tainly be ours, because she lies pro-
| tected within Santiago harbor. There
are other craft, too, such as the gun
boat Sandoval, sunk several months
| ago, and ready for service under our
| flag this week Constructor Hichborn
gives the number of Spanish captured
vessels belonging to our navy as al
ready eight.

The Democrats who are saying that
president Mckinley is delaying a set

Takina the Philippines.

1t is understood that today will bring
the answer Of the Spanish members of
the peace commission relative to the
American demands for the surrender Of
the whole Philippine group. The
Spanish commissioners may protest
vigorously, but they will have to yield
in the end. The American position is
firmly taken and will not be receded
from. even If it takes naval demon
stration off the Spanish coast to bring
the commissioners to a realizing sense
of their position. The matter of an IN
demnity or no indemnity can be dis
posed of later. The main fact is PLAIN.
that the whole Philippine group. not
merely Luzon and Manila as many
have thought, will follow Hawaii,
Porto Rico and Guam under the
American flag. The requirement of
the Philippines is a part of the new
destiny.
Even if this country wanted to get
out of taking them, it could hardly es-
cape the responsibility. 1t is manifest
ly impossible to leave them in the
hands of Spain, for the old troubles
would soon be renewed. 1t would be
folly to hand them over to the insur-
many years from the competency of
government. To allow any other
nation to step in would bring down the
ill-will of all, and to put them up to the
highest bidder would place CONNER
cial aspect on the humanity of the
war which would give it a very ugly
look. So, it comes to the plain question
of necessity, and it is quite as certain
as anything can be that the Stars and
Stripes will soon be flying over all the
many islands-how many even the
geographers donot know-of the group.
There is vigorous opposition from
some quarters, and this will find it's ex-
preston in Congress; but, after all is
said, what else is to be done? The ne
cessity will remain even stronger than
ever. All acquisition of territory by
this country has been objected to by a
considerable part of it's population, but
SO far no mistake has been made.
Would it not be well to be hopeful con-
corning the Philippines? The very fact
of having such large possessions on the
other side of the world will revive our
Eastern trade. and from those very
islands we will be getting much of
what we now import from China, Japan
and other countries of the far East.
Wherever the American flag has gone
it has taken civilization and expanded
trade; it has built up and made pros
perity. 1t has developed the resources
and established industries. Its record
in matchmaking has never been
equaled, and it is only reasonable to
expect that it will do for the Philip
pines at least a part of what it has
done for other sections. The Philip
pines will be worth many millions a
year to this country. And there are
other sides of the matter more import
ant than it's commercial aspect.

Three years ago, President Chase of
Bates College, Lewiston, delivered an
address before a total abstinence So
ciety in Boston in which he stated that
the students of Bates College We're re-
ouired on entering college to sign a
total abstinence pledge and that they
all did so. The announcement attracted
no little attention at the time but, as is
well known, it has been enforced with
unvarying attention with the result
that Bates college is today one of the
most temperate institutions in the en-
tire country. That this fact is appre-
ciated not only in Lewiston and Au-
burn, but elsewhere is proven by the
fact that one day this week President
Chase received the following letter:
Randolph, Mass, Oct. 26, 1898.
George c. Chase, D. D., LII. d.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of the Goth
inst. duly received as also your report
and catalogue for which please accept
my thanks. My attention was attracted
to Bates College by reading an article
in the Temperance Cause, a paper pub
lished in Boston where it was stated
among other things that the students
of Bates College were required to give
a pledge to abstain from the use of
alcoholic liquors. AS an earnest of my
appreciation of the value of such an

The Sea kinqs.

Since the Golden Hind went round the
Horn and circled a world unknown,
Wherever the tides of God have beat and
the winds Of God have blown
from the sunrise seas to the shutdown
seas, by the storm and the spindrift
whirled,
The sons of the men who sailed with
Drake have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth
Hoe or out of the Golden Gate,
They are brothers in blood linked heart
TO heart and to resistless fate;
For the quenchless ardor to rule the seas
which time can never Stake,
Makes the same blood race through
Dewey's veins that throbbed from the
heart of Drake.
And all the way out of Trafalgar, down
into Manila Bay,
The Anglo-Saxon has sailed and fought
and struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides of God may beat
and the winds of God may blow,
1t will be tomorrow as it is today and it
was in the long ago.
