Spain on the south Morocco coast, two

latter France contests with Spain The
colonial empire of Spain is thus re-

THE BOER GENERAL.

That is a strange situation in Boer
land in which General Joubert, the
commanding military chieftain OF the
TransvaaI, is out in the open as SYM
pathizer with the Uitlanders. The
General says he loves his country as
deeply as any other and will fight for
her as periodically as any other. Never
theless, he holds that many of the
complaints of the aliens are well

heavy, that special hard bearing regu-

for the repeal of the remuneration ana

WHAT IS GOOD WATER?

good, clear, pure water?" He thinks
these terms are used very loosely at
times, and lack definiteness and un-
doubtedly he is correct. We are to
consider the uses to which water is
to be put always, undermining wheth-
er it is desirable. For instance, as Mr..
Mason points out. a water charged
with calcium sulphate may be very
good for the brewing Of light ale and
very bad for boiler or laundry uses.
Thus it is to the scientific character OF
its water that Burton-on-Trent owes
it's reputation as an ale producing CEN
ter. But that water would not be ac-
ceptable for laundry purposes.
At Johann on -Saar, a soft pure
water is had, charged highly with car
bonic acid gas, and therefore desira-
Bile for drinking purposes. But when
it passes through the iron pipes of tbs
town it becomes brown and unfit for
use, because Of the action of the gas
upon the iron Thus water may be
excellent at the source and bad at the
point Of delivery. AS to absolutely
pure water, that is, says Mason, 9
chemical curiosity, difficult to secure
and harder to preserve. The questions
are then. what is the permissible limit
Of impurity and what is wholesome

Mary Magdalen's Morals.

Most of the Scriptural controversies
in which the advocates of higher criti-
cism have indulged are too abstruse for
the ordinary citizen to take much per-
sonal interest in. From far away
Australia, however, comes an issue
that would land the disputants along
side the most popular of the current
dramatic favorites.
The Chief Justice of Victoria, in a
public discourse, recently made ref
erence to Mary Magdalen as woman
of evil repute. The statement was i'm
mediately controverted by Father
O'Farrell, the head of the RedemptoT-
list Order in Australia. He said there
was no evidence in the gospel to show
that Mary Magdalen was. an immoral
woman. The controversy at last ac-
counts was exciting much debate in the
Antipodes.

to mean that water which is healthful
for those accustomed to its use.
Variation in turbidity Of water, says
Mr. Mason. is the next thing to be con-
sddered. the absence Of sewage being
assumed and silly and turbid character
alone being taken into account When
this kind of water is used. it too will
often produce intestinal arrangement.
He holds that somewhat turbid water
is to be classed as undesirable for many
purposes, and yet it may not be rated
as unwholesome absolutely. When a
good water supply is mentioned, there
fore Mr.. Mason means and he is an ex-
pert upon the subject:
Such a water should be suited to all
forms Of domestic use; 1t should pos
sess no Objectionable taste or smell;
it should be free from animal, espec-
tally human, refuse material; 1t shoald
be free from vegetable material IN q
state of active decomposition, distinc-
tion being made between such material
and those stable extractive matters
often found dissolved in brown or peaty
waters, and which experience has
shown are not prejudicial to health;
finally, it should be free from such
amount of suspended material of what
ever character as would make It I'M
slightly in appearance and unsuited to
the ordinary Industrial interests OF

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

The Boston Herald" the New York
Herald and the New York Times
all favor retention of the Philippines
in some form or other. Each believes
this to be the most critical time in the
history Of the instruction; each has a
distinct cause of complaint against the
present policy, in that it is not definite
or that a mistake was made by the
Schurman commission: or that the Otis
management has been one of error or
of handicap.
But all three of these journals, re-
fleeing large and growing senti-
ment demand strong action by the
President, clearly defined setting forth
of what we intend for the Filipinos,
and the earliest possible reinforcement
of our army in Luzon to the fullest
necessary numerical strength. ALI of
these papers hold that the country will
give the Administration unlimited sup
port in troops and treasure.
The Springfield Republican" how
ever, wishes the President to think it
over whether there is not a better way.
namely to indicate to the Filipinos that
his desire Isl while he cannot promise
dependence. The Baltimore Herald
thinks there was high intelligence
manifest by the Schurman commission.
and that 1T did nothing whatever to
obs c,,l a so;x
with the New York Herald in a de-
mand for a more vigorous prosecution
of the war to suppress the Instruction.
The New York post" on the other
hand is Disguised with the propositions
made by the Schurman commission and
with the Instructions of the President
to Otis to push the fighting, and to
the commission to push Cancellation. A
push and soothe policy it believes never
accomplishes anything. The New York
Press" says it is not so much what
the nation proposes as to whom 1t pro-
poses an6 holds that the Schurman
commission did damage to our cause
by quasi recognition of a rag tag and
bedizzened bobtail as a sort of govern
ment, thus putting new heart into
Aguinaldo. It holds that there will
never be peace in the Philippines while
such a policy is pursued, of entrusting
treaty powers to guileless college dons
who take professional insurrectionists
at their own valuation.
The Philadelphia Record" protests
against amy more "wabbling" It in
sists that the thing to do is to crush
the Instruction, and to do it vigor-
ously and speedily. 1t believes that
Congress has invested the President
with ample power to do it. The neces-
sary force to do the work should be
summoned and dispatched.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer' holds
that the military way of treating the
insurrectionists is the right way. The
American knows that the Filipinos will
be justly treated in any event, but to
convince the Filipino Of that during
an Instruction may not be possible.
The thing to do is to crush the upris-
ing and accept and promise nothing
until unconditional surrender has been
made
These expressions by prominent jour-
nails Of the country fairly reflect the
views of the mass of the people favor
able to the retention of the Philippines
under some form or other. The Spring
field Republican" is the exception
perhaps, since it favors either a mild
protectorate or concession Of absolute
independence to the insurrectionists as
the ultimate outcome, distant though

OUR WEARY PRESIDENT.
M,KINLEY MAY NOT STAND FOX
REELECTION.
He and His Wife Tired of the White
House Life. Has Had Hard
Time of 1t.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
public makes the sensational announce
ment that Mr.. Mckinley may not stand
for re election. The statement is that
both he and his wife are weary of the
white house life, and that they prefer to
retire to the secluson that a cottage in
Canton grants. As matter of fact Mr..
McKinlay has just purchased home in
Canton, and the fact gives color to the
story.
And it is very good story for the dull
summer months. The president, with a
great war ON his hands, b had hard
time of it and his responsibilities are in
creasing daily. The devotion of the pres
ident to his invalid wife is very touching
and as much as we may irveigh against
him because of the policy of his admins
tration, we cannot fail to respect him for
his personal chiValrlc qualities. The
Philippine war should not have been I'M
dertaken without the specific consent of
congress, and we are inclined to the idea
that the president is fully aware of the
error committed.
There can be no question that Admiral
Dewey presented the captured Spanish
guns TO Aguinaldo-guns that have been
turned against American sOlders-under
the impression that he was carrying out
the policy of the administration at the
time he did So Dewey thought that the
administration would d. towards the
FilipinOS as congress directed, in the
declaration of war, should BIZ done to
the Cubans. Having whipped the Span
lard in Manila bay, he evidently sup.
posed that in presenting the cannon to
AguinaldO he was doing the honorable
thing. Every time one of those cann0ns
barks the administration shakes. No
blame can be attached to Dewey. L was
natural enough under the circumstances
that be should have made the gift. He
had no reason to think, when he had de-
stroyed MOntajO's fleet, that the Philip
pines were to be held as conquered terri
tory by his own government, for we had
no quarrel with the Filipinos themselves
There had been no declaration made
against them by the American congress.
The traditional policy of the United
states was opposed TO territorial expan-
sion. The idea that we would undertake
to rule nation on the ether side of the
globe had not entered the mind of any
American. Being gallant sailor it was
natural enough that Dewey should pre-
sent the captured Spanish cannon to an
ally. At the time he did so no American
made complaint. 1t was thought the
proper thing for Dewey to do. The adj
miral, then, must have been wOefully sur>
prised when, after making the gift, be dis
covered that the administration had re-
Versed the traditional policy.
1t is quite conceivable that Mr.. Nc
Kinley should be weary of Office and
should long to retire to the shades of
private life.-Macon News.
