CARLYLE and Titinn.

At a Royal Academy dinner several art
lists and literary men waxed enthusiastic in
praise of favOrite painters. His glorious
coloring is a fact about Titan" said one.
And his glorious drawing is another fact
about Titan" cried a second. Carlyle,
who had been listening, interrupted the re-
marks by saving. with some deliberation:
And here sit. a man made in the image
of Cod who knows nothing about Titan,
and cares nothing about Titian-and that's
another fact about Titan" Thackeray,
slipping caret paused and bowed to Car
lyle as he remarked: Pardon me- that is
not a fact about Titan. But it is a fact
and a lamentable one-about Thomas
Carlyle"

IS NOT THE PRESIDENT MISTAKEN


II is admitted that when our commits
sioners started for Paris their Instructions
did not include a demand for a whole of
the Philippines. They were TO demand the
island of Luzon, if circumstances for doing
so were favorable. and if they were not
then they were to demand only the city
and bay of Manila.
The recent visit of the President TO the
West satisfied him that public sentiment
was in favor of demanding the whole of
the Philippines, and so, according to our
dispatches yesterday, a demand has been
made by our peace commissioners for all
of the islands.
Is not the President mistaken in his view
that il is the win of the people that all
of the Philippines be demanded? We are
inclined to think that he is. Whether he
is or not win become apparent when the
treaty comes before the Senate for rati-
hcatlon. From the tone of the newspa-
pers in different parts of the country big
fight win be made on the treaty it,
as now seems probable, 1t is agreed that
Spain shall be paid $4,000, 900 to relinquish
her claim 10 the islands, 1t Is not stated
of course, that we are to pay Spain that
sum. 1t is stated that we are to assume
that part of the Spanish debt that was in
CURED in making Improvements in the is
lands. But 1t amounts to the same thing.
We are to pay out $40, 100000 and Spain is
to get that sum.
But what are we to get from the islands
that will compensate us for our outlay?
And it must not be forgotten that the sum
we pay Spain viii be only the beginning of
our Philippine expenses. We shall have
to maintain a big army there and a large
administrative force. 1t win cost us $780,
00O,O 900 a year at least to govern the is
lands and if the natives should prove to
be rebenious. as they likely would, it
would take 500 100000 a year, under our
extravagant way of doing things. And
what are we going to get from the Phil
ippines? Under the most favorable condi-
tons the revenues do not amount to more
than $10OOO00O a year. And they win not
begin to amount 10 that unless we adopt
Spain's methods of collecting them We
cannot very wen do that, and we SHAH find
II rather difficult, If our purpose is to ex-
tend our trade to the far East, to put in
force our own tariff laws. England is al
ready intlmating that she will expect us
TO adopt the open door" policy. In the
event of our refusal we shall find our OPP
portunlties for increasing our trade in the
far East very limited. 1t looks, therefore
as If the possession of the Philippines
meant an immense increase in our annual
expenses without any very great increase
in our income from our new possessions.
Naturally, the President and his advisors
would like to go down in history as having
added the immense Philippine territory to
the United States. Has not this desire
something to do with the opinion which
the President has reached that the people
Of the entire country are insisting that
the Philippines shah be ours?

The Curse of Yellow Fever.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd.

Col Warnings death from yellow fever
contracted in Havana reminds one again
what a curse Cuba has been to this coun-
try as an incubator of that terrible disease.
Epidemics in our Gulf states have ragged
almost without number and thousands of
American lives have been lost in the past
century because Cuba was pest hole of
the yellow fever. Havana must be cleaned
and made healthy to save our own popula-
ton from future scourges.

The idea of the London Times, that the
holders of Spanish-Cuban bonds which
may be repudiated as a consequence of
the independence of Cuba will be the per-
sons who will have to pay for Cuba
lbre," is droll. The holders of those
bonds advanced their money to pay for
keeping Cuba enthralled. They went into
the matter as a speculation, for the money
there might be in it, There was no senti-
ment in their transaction. And there would
be little pity for them should their bonds
prove to be worthless.

is no need for such legislation. There has

with anything that Is not needed and has
never been demanded. The truth is that
we now have more legal holidays than
there is any good reason for. If some of
them were cut off it would be an ad-
vantage. The question of Saturday half

A negro woman residing in Kentucky
has brought suit against a railroad COM

in a Jim Crow car in which she was a
passenger. The woman seems to be with
in her rights. The laws Of Kentucky re-
quire that separate coaches with equal ac-
commodations shall be set apart for the
races. Under the laws it is just as much
an offense for a white person TO occupy a
coach set apart for the black race as it is
for black person 20 occupy a coach set
aside for the white race. 1t is poor rule
that will not work both ways. The laws
were designed to bring about exclusive
ness.
