BoNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is bona nde one.
1t IS easily possible for q news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation OF The Star
is many thousands in excess Of any
other Washington paper.

No Need to Claim Philippines.
From the (sOluInh,ls Disnatrh lind

1t does not seem needful for the United
States to lay claim to the Philippine Is
lands because of what has been done The
sending of the army to Manila has been
fully justified, and much will have been ac-
complished for the oppressed as well as for
this country If the government of the is-
lands can in measure be dictated and il
coaling station can be secured by the
United States. Coalng sta ions there and
IN the other Spanish islands of the orient
would be a great aid to United States
commerce and would, at the same time.
give to this country the opportunity of put
ting forth its power, should it be necessary
to protect the natives from injustice and
oppression hereafter.

NO obligation to the Philippines.
From the Boston Transcript

The disposition of the Philippines ia a
question that must be settled here and at
the very citadel of government The can't
ing assumption that they have become an
inevitable responsibility thrust upon us by
the providence of God is something suited
10 the silly season. 1t is not worthy a sec
ond thought. What has been done there
has not been done for the insurgent SUBJ
)ects OF Spain, but simply as part of gem
eral plan to weaken our enemy The people
OF these islands were not even remotely
included In the scope of our humanitarian
enterprise. We found them in revolt
against the ruling power. We have not
hurt their chances. On the contrary, If we
Withdrew tomorrow, and they wished to
continue the struggle, they are in a more
noperul condition to do so than ever be-
fore.
We have. therefore, incurred no obliga-
tions In that quarter, and unless The
shrieks of the imperialists and the cant of
the proselytes prevail we shall drop the
Phllippfnes, with the exception of a naval
station at the first convenient opportunity.
10 permit the prospects of peace to be i'm
paired by an insensate -yearning for domin-
ION In that far away corner of the world
would be a foul bloteon the closing pages
OF nineteenth century history.

To Deal Generously.

The weekly pspers credit the United
States with a desire to deal generously
with Spain. Ths Saturday Review says:
I'VE are convinced that America will not
play the part of shylock; but. now that she
has learned to appreciate the bravery and
fighting qualities of the Spaniards, es well
as the worthlessness of the Cuban rebels
she will make obvious atonement for the
precipitancy with which she entered upon
the war by dealing generously with her
opponents.
The Spectator takes a line quite unusual
In the English press, most strongly urging
the United States to assume direct control
OF both Cuba and the Philippines
1t implores ths Washington government
rather to break an injudicious pledge to
Congress than to allow Cuba and the Phil
ippines to be Independent or to return to
the cruel Spanish dominion"

Against Permanent Occupation.
From the Chicago News anL)
When Admiral Dewey. destroyed the
Spanish fleet at Manila q burst ef en-
thusiasm went up all over the country, and
the large majority of people were ready
to insist that the Philippine Islands should
be at once made a part of the United
States. But during the three months that
have elapsed since that event there has
been great modification of public senti-
ment, as the difficulties and responsible
ties that the country would have to as
sumo in such an event have been better
understood.
That the fortunes of war have imposed
new obngadons upon US in regard to those
lslanos cannot be doubted. but such re-
sponsIbilit1es fall far short of annexation
or permanent government. We may not
pc warranted in handing them back to
SPAN out that does not Impose the obli-
satioh TO unite them to this country. We
must put the people in the way of free
government, put we cannot undertake or
assume complications that are foreign to
our policy and opposed to the whole theory
or our government.

The new fruit shipping season is fairly on.
Almost all the packing houses in the city

couple of days large number have arrived

every train.

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. 5.-John f..
Miner, whose third trial on the charge oil
kiklling S. j. Darrah ended last Saturday
in a mistrial, because the jury could not
agree, does not think he can get justice IN
this county in another trial, so when the
case was called in the superior court today
his attorney made motion for change OF
venue, and in support of the motion read
a long affidavit sworn to by the defendant,
in which he states that he is sure he cannot
get justice, and that he ought therefore to
be given his next trial in some other county.
District Attorney Gill was not prepared
this turn in the case, so had to ask the court
to postpone action for week in order that
he might prepare counter affidavits, and the
request was granted.
l.. G. Klein, a rancher near the town OF
Winchester, in this county, was lodged in
the county jail today to await trial on a
charge of burglary. Klein, it seems, has
been making his living by petty thieving,
raiding his neighbors' ranches, for years
past, and it has been only recently that the
true character of the man was discovered.
When he was arrested last Wednesday his
cabin in the mountains was searched, and
any number of articles which have been
stolen were found hidden therein. Klein
had a partner, 4 man named Wilson, but
the latter got away from the officers. The
