Miles FOresaw 1T.

Turns out that as far baok as

/ Miles sound advice was ig-
inc Just as Miles, himself, has
lbe ignored and kept in the back
gfoapd by the President, who APP
pc TO be jealous of his popular
Miles's advice then been ia
ke and ten more regiments sent
at noe to the Philippines, it is
Thought by military authorities
the the Filipinos might have been
crdsh series Of decisive and
effective blows, AT any rate, afraid
of our apparent strength, it ismore
than likely they would soon have
sued for peace.
But the time for such prompt
and decisive action has passed.
The Filipinos know our great point
of weakness and how to wear out
our troops by guerilla warfare.
They are no longer afraid of our
decimated and worn out army and
it is predicted that in the absence
of speedy reinforcements the
Americans during the rainy season
will be compelled to give up all
they have captured and take refuge
in the City of Manila, as the Span
iards before them were forced to do.
BY declining to take the advice
of the head of the army, whose
judgment is matured, lest it might
cast trihe of credit on General
Miles, and by depending on that
team of incompetents, Alger and
Corbin, both discredited soldiers,
the President has made total fail
ure of the Philippine campaign to
date and has necessitated the send
ing of at least 100000 more troops
to these Asiatio Islands in order to
accomplish anything in the way of
subiugating them. And the worse
of it is these troops when they ar
rive will be raw and unacolimated
and practically unfit for steady du-
ty for some time.
It is sorry condition, indeed,
and is largely the outcome of try
ing to conduct war through an
incompetent War Department,
by politicians and with
out the assistance or advice of the
General of the army.
How much longer is this farce

The fact that Mr.. Havemeyer is
a Republican might, under ordin-
ary circumstances tend to discredit
his statements on the question
of protective tariff. Republicans
do not like to tell the whole truth
about the workings of the protec-
tive system. But in this case the
politics of the witness adds
strength to his testimony. His
statements are in the nature of adj
missions, the strongest character of
testimony, and the admissions are
against his political predictions
and prejudices.

The President has refused to al

lego of landing it's telegraph cable
at Havana This step is taken in

quently has monopoly. 1t charg-
es seven times as much for mess

dent has interdicted the landing of
tho competing cable and the pub
lie is deprived of the benefits of n
cut of so per cent in tho cost of
messages. This monopoly has to
be taken care of if the rights of the
people are confiscated to do it.

EDD and Flow OF Golu.

Tho large supply of gold in our
banks at present, is not to be taken
as an index to the general supply.
The same condition does not pre-
vail everywhere at the same time.
The supply of gold Gibbs and flows
from one country to another as the
changing conditions of trade carry
or demand it. AT the present time
there is a dearth of gold in the
Bank of England which is sup
posed to be it's stronghold. Large
purchases are being made in this
country to meet the demands.
Henry Clews, in his Wall street
financial Review, states that only
twice in the last fifteen years has
the gold resever the in Bank of
England been as low as at present.
In as many years it has not been
SO high as it is here except when
replenished by sale of bonds.
This shows that the flow has been

ginning to ebb. While there has
been large production of gold in
the last two years, the supply is not

amount in circulation throughout
the commercial and business world,
as is shown by the statements OF
our banks and the public treasury.
Any considerable disturbance in
the peace relations of Europe, or
any material sitting of the oondi-
tions and trerd of trade would
drain the gold supply from us in a
very short time.-Charleston Ga

the only light coming from little
round window, like portfolio in ves-
sci, far above their heads.
Lift up the door, Rob. We may as
well go down. Whoever took that
tongue out wouldn't leave it where we
could find it, you may be sure" said
True.
But when Rob tried to lift the door,
10 and behold! it stuck fast. The iron
ring which had once served as a handle
was broken off, and there was no way
by which they could get sufficiently
firm hold to pull with any considerable
amount of strength. They tried to pry
it open with their knives, but only sue
ceeded in breaking them. And time
was wearing away, and the Borrows-
vile celebration must be getting to-
ward its iveliest.

could hear u.s." said Tenney, despair
ingly.
Its pretty place to spend the
Fourth in!" said Rob, with a groan.
"How long do you suppose it will be be-
fore they miss us at home and come to
look for us? %
'Why, they'd never think of coming
here to look" replied True. "And my
mother said might stay all night with
my cousins over at Brownsville. She
won't expect me home till tomorrow,
and your folks will think you've stayed
with me. Anyway, they would never
think we were up in the church
steeple."
"But when she knows we're lost,
Rosy Movie will tell, if she hasn't al
ready" said Tenney.
"She won't. She's too much afraid of
her father to tell that she gave us the
key" averred True.
"But he'll find out that the key is
gone. and then he'll suspect that we are
here" said Tenney. who was deter
mined to look on the bright side.
''Next Sunday, maybe! We shall be
starved to death before then!" said
Rob, who was not proving himself as
brave as his desire for fighting had led
his comrades to suppose.
Somebody must have got wind of
what we meant to do, or the tongue
wouldn't have been taken out of the
bell,' said Tenney; land no one could

the greatest lot of candy you ever saw,
and bunch of torpedoes for to-mor-
row."
Rosy was a very small person, with a
very large appetite for candy, to say
nothing of strong desire to celebrate
with the proper amount of noise the
anniversary of her country's independ-
ence. Her eyes grew big and round
at the alluring prospect, and she nod
ded emphatically her willingness to I'M
dertake the errand. So it was settled
that she should bring them the key
that night, after her father had hung
up his coat in the closet, so there would
be no danger that he would go there
again and discover the absence of the
key.
That afternoon Sandy Movie and his
son, a stout lad of IS, paid visit to the
church. Archie, the son, came out,
looking very warm and tired.
"Better have let them do it, and then
make them smart for it, than to take
all that trouble" he grumbled. "Or
just give their fathers hint of what
they are up to-"
''Since they are so fond of jokes, I'm
willing they should have bit of a one, -
said the sexton, rubbing his hands,
gleefully. They'll catch it fast enough
for breaking the church window"
Rosy Movie stole out of the house
that night after dark and delivered the
church key into True's hands, receiv-
ing in return an amount of candy and
torpedoes that had cost large share
of the boys Fourth of July savings.
But they were all satisfied that it was
money well spent, for they had learned
from sad experience that the results
of breaking windows were never anus
ing.
1t was about half-past four o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth when the
three boys unlocked the church door.
1t was very quiet for Fourth of July
morning. Now and then came the
banging of gun, the feeble popping
of frecrackers and torpedoes, and the
dismal shrek of fish horn; but there
were very few people astir.
''This stupid old town will get wax
ing up in a minute now. And people
ought to thank us. It's a burning
shame to have it so still. You may be
sure they're making things lively over
at Brownsville by this time"

A Singular Coincidence.

One day lately party of women were
being shown about various buildings of
the University of Chicago. The prin-
cipal parsonage in the party was an
American woman who lives in Berlin,
Germany. She had been visiting friends
in Chicago for a week, and ever since
her arrival she had been trying to re-
member the name of a Chicago woman
whom she had met in Berlin. She was
anxious to see this woman, but her
name and address had totally escaped
her memory. AS the party entered Cobb
hall something stirred the right chord
and she came to a full stop in the door
way, saying: There! That name has
come to me. It's Mrs. -" Scarcely
had she said the words when the door
of one of the Offices opened and the
woman in question walked into the hall
way, not ten feet from the visitor from
Berlin. The party marveled much over
the coincidence. The general opinion
was that the presence of the woman in
the building made itself known in some
mysterious way to the visitors subject
i've mind. But no one attempted to ex,
plain it.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
