our friends is that the people are

Aspirants for Office find themselves
without support, and naturally
enough try to make the public

Experience with the japanese
Government has demonstrated one
thing clearly to business men
here: if the laborers are fairly
treated the powerful influence of
japanese officials will be towards
preventing anything like a general
strike of laborers.

Almost without exception the
opposition to the retention of the
Philippines by the United States
comes from men who show lack
of confidence in the governing
capacity of their country. The
pessimist is saying 1--WE can't take
care of ourselves, why should we
90 further and seek more troublep"
In looking over the history OF
the Republic, the men who did
the most to give the country its
present strength, were not of the
cant be done" type. They were
strong men having confidence in
the people. Jefferson took the
initiative and said sit must be
done" Had Lincoln proved as
weakened as those now bowling
against the horrors of expansion,
the freedom of the American re-
public would still be a misnomer.
The American people have thus
far in their history shown them
selves capable of meeting the
emergency of new problems. Why
should they slide back now before
the Philippine bugaboo and in
child like simplicity hide from the
responsibilities that face them2
The Philippines are bound to
figure in tn United States foreign
policy whether the flag is hauled
down or not. Having obtained
the first right of possession by
conquest, the Americans will not
allow Spain to make any division
of the islands without the first
consent of the United States. One
plan of disposing Of the question
is to demand from Spain that all
countries shall have greater free
dom of trade in the islands and
also demand various governmental
reforms. The experience of past
demands regarding the govern
ment in Cuba ought to be sufii-
cent to warn the United States
away from this proposition. More
trouble would be found in keeping
Spain straight, than could be oc-
casinned by taking the islands and
governing them properly.
There is also the international
phase of the present time. Nearly
ali the Powers are satisfied that
the Philippines shall pass into
American hands. If division of
the spoils is made, the United
States shifts none of the inter.
national responsibility connected
with it's interests in the Orient,
and gives up portion OF the
source of revenue to defray addi-
tionsl expense. To turn back now,
after setting an example to the
world of fighting battles for the
extension of freedom and enlight-
eminent, would be contrary to
every historical example which
the United States has set since the
revolutionary war. 1t means
shilly shally wavering policy that
is a disgrace to the forefathers Of
the nation, the English speaking
race and the age in which we live.
1t is an announcement by the
American people that they are
afraid to tackle problem from
which no other enlightened nation
of the globe would turn aside.

Mrs. cleveIand's Courtesy.

the handkerchief, tucked it in her
dress, and, taking out fresh one,
which was Of the most dainty lace,

Poverty Did it

Hunger is the teacher Of the arts
and the bestower of invention" said a
Latin poet, and the story of the inven-
ton of the revolving inkstand Illus
trat.ss the proverb.
Balm, poor Scotch student at Aber-
deem, was desperately pinched for cash.
One night he sat down, determined
TO invent something before he went to
bed that would bring him money.
Having TO tilt his inkstand to get
sufficient ink, the thought of a barrel
inkstapd that would tilt itself struck
him. He made the patterns, and went
with them the next morning to man.
ufacturer named Perry, who gave him
ten pounds for the invention, with a
promise of more, should it succeed.
He put it on the market as Perry's
Barrel, and it sold so successfully that
he sent Balm, subsequently,, one hun
dred pounds.

Where 10 day the young folks parties are

The drop OF cheer he always brought mad e

Admiral Dewey is receiving hundreds
of letters, bales Of newspaper clippings
invitations to "Dewsy days. copies of
Dewey songs and Dewey poetry, and a
good many cabIegrams, says the Cavite
correspondent Of the Chicago Record.
There are great many postcards and
great mass Of short notes, all very
congrstulatory and all very enthusi-
astic- Some nominate him for presi-
dent in 1900, and others contribute
equally glowing prophecies for the fu-
ture.
One man writes: I'D swey, you are
peach. Pll stick to you till - freezes
over, and then III stick to you On the
ice." Anoth IT advises him to keep his
health until 1900. A piece of poetry has
come from the Topeka Capital, which
starts out with "Dewey was the morn
ing and Dewey was the man." and fol-
lows this brilliant line with others of
the same sort. The song, "What Did
Dewey Do to Them ?" has arrived, and
If the music comes the song ought to
have q good run out here in Manila
bay. The other versions, "How Did
Dewey Do It?" and :Dewey's Duty
Done,n have not made their appear
ance, but they are undoubtedly on the
way. A cartoon printed by San Fran
cisco paper, entitled dewey Smoke?
Yes, Manilas,p amused the admiral a
good deal. Every mail brings new ev-
licences of the popular enthusiasm that
has sprung up in America over him.
What pleased him more than any
thing else was an account of how his
son received the news Of the great vic
tory. Captain Mahan's statement that
the battle OF Manila bay was the most
wonderful ever recorded in history was
particularly gratifying to him also,
coming as it does from such an emip-
ent naval authority.
Through all this bombardment of
compliments aud congratulations the
admiral has not changed in the least,
or indicated by his manner that the tre-
mendous hit he has made Is affecting
him other than pleasantly. He said
this afternoon that while the battle was
going on he didn't feel that he was do
ing anything wonderful. The most try
ing time was the night trip past Core
gidor, for there was then no way of
knowing just where the Spaniards were
or how they would strike. On the
morning Of May l, when he could see
the Spanish. he felt cheerful and pleas
ant. The work of leading his six ships
in and cleaning out everything in sight
was detail which at the time did not
seem so impressive.

stantly in line, so far from the entrance
at night and so Ear by day; that the
most rigid care with searchlights and
every other appliance was taken every
night; that the commanding officer Of
every vessel knew his post and his duty
in case of an attempt to escape, so that
when that attempt came the move
ment to prevent it, by the attack Of
our vessels upon the outcoming Span
iards, went on like clockwork; as at
Chattanooga, every movement of that
great battle was carried out, although
Gen. Grant was neither at Missionary
Ridge nor Lookout Mountain.
81 can well understand why the
friends of other officers should be so
enthusiastic and earnest, as I am, in
giving them the credit they so richly,
every one of them, deserve for their
glorious work. l cannot conceive of
anybody so mean as to detract by
single hair from their merit. But /
cannot understand why such bitter
feeling is manifested in many quarters
toward Admiral Sampson, when all
these officers, subordinate to him, in
their reports clearly and cordially rec
ognize the fact that, although at the
beginning he was, by orders from
Washington, going TO confer with Gen.
Shafter, yet the battle was foughtunder
his orders, and that the victory was the
consummation of his thorough prepa-
aration. For myself, know no predi-
lection for any one of these gallant
men. l would crown every one OF
them with laurels. want them all to
have their just deserts Every one of
them deserves unstinted praise; not
one of them deserves anything less
than full measure for that days work.
And, therefore, can think of nothing
more cruel than a depreciation of the
merit of the faithful, devoted, patriotic
commander-in-chief, physically frail,
worn with sleepless vigilance. weighed
with measureiess responsibilities and
details, letting no duty go undone; for
weeks with ceaseless precautions block

crushing il under the fleet which exc

PEELED in dignified silence to be assail-
ed as vindietively as if he were an
enemy TO his country. l am sure that
no one more deprecates such an attack
than the officers of the fieet-Commo-
dore, Captains and all. Among them
all is peace; whatever disquiet there
may be elsewhere, the navy is serene.

He can; and it Is to just these heroes,

Abate nothing in praise and honor for

up his life at last, should not be passed

KNIGHTS Templar cOnelave.

The grand parade of Knights Temp
lar during the triennisl conclave in
Pittsburg is to be the finest spectacle of
the kind ever seen in this country.
General j. p. 5. Goblin, grand mar
shall, has just issued his general orders,
and the general program Of the parade
and reception to Grand Master Warren
La Rue Thomas. In anticipation Of
an early peace between Spain and the
United Ststes this display OF Templar
pomp and grandeur is to be turned into
a glorious celebration of American vie
tories, congratulation to the army
and navy for magnificent work accom-
plished. With this idea in view the
parade, for the first time in the history
of Templarism in America, will be
formed on military lines. Many of the
commanders and staff officers in line
will be veterans of recent battles on sea
and land, some of them the most no.
table figures in the war.
The parade will begin to move
promptly at a. m., and will be COM
pleted by p. m, on October IL. The
route selected will not be over four
miles in length from start to finish.
General Gobin's general order provides
in the most complete manner for a COM
pact and beautiful display. There will
be but one band OF music to each bat
TALON, division or grand commandery,
thus obviating the difficulty heretofore
in marching by the presence in the line
of too much music.
In the evening grand reception by
the Grand Commanderies will be given
at the building of the Duquesne sum-
mer garden TO Most Eminent Sir War
ren LaRde, Grand Master of the Grand
Encampment. This function will be
something new in the history of con-
claves, and is to be confined strictly 10
Knights Templar.
