emily give approval to all that has been
done in the Philippines, but which in eff
feet contain much disapproval of methods
thus so far shown.
First. All parties would have denounced
any idea OF giving the Philippines back
to Spain. Her positive inability to under
stand what progress meant-or what mer-
cy meant-bad brought US to the risk and
! the expense of removing her heavy hand
! from off the shoulders of the oppressed.
1t would be temerity to even hint that the
! call upon us for aid and for succor was
not loud and insistent. We all heard it
to the remotest cross roads of the coun-
try, and by our hands or by our hearts,
and by our prayers we all responded Par
ty lines were broken down for the time,
and would have been again, if we had re-
turned to the hand OF the oppressor the
land OF the oppressed. Surely we all agree
on this point.
Second. All parties would have ques-
toned the wisdom of giving these islands
over to any foreign power The logic of
the matter, appreciated instantly by the
national mind, Was this having fought
for these feeble people and having con
quered their enemies, they become our
wards and we were, therefore. in honor
bound to undertake their bettermenr, no
matter what the cost or the embarrass-
mcnt to US y deed half done is never
well done and a child saved from fire has
but little cause for gratitude il it is I'M
mediately thereafter thrown out into a
cold world without friends.
Third 1t was equally out of the ques-
ton among those who studied the condi-
tons of the mixed population of the Phil
. ippine~ to leave them instantly to their
own devices The fierce repressions to
which they had been subjected had not
even united diverse peoples into a com
mon resistance, or Spain had been swept
out long before. The Malay element
would not work well with the half breeds
The vast Chinese population was out of
sympathy with both. In every direct on,
therefore, were the elements of most
fearful anarchy among ten millions of
people. No civilizing power. least of all
the United States, could bring itself to
permit deliberately the self destruction OF
poor creatures, who as yet had no under
standing of liberty except as license.
Fourth. Therefore when a non repre-
sentative body of men-not more than 40,
COS out of 10000 cooled by an agitator
who had been bought off by the Spaniards
at least oncc-oppo ed every measure for
bringing the Philippine conditions into
the orderliness that is so dear to English
speakers there was nothing to be done,
both for the sake of the Filipinos we
would benefit and for the honor and the
dignity of the United States. but to fight
this agitator, and having started to fight,
to fight the best we knew how

Correspondence.
A Franklin Mans Question.
WEST FRANKLIN, Feb. "a, 1893.
To the Editor of The American:

10 the Edtt0r OF The Amerlcan:
Wishing to attend the Masonic con-
vention OH the 22nd in e Ellsworth, con-
cluded to travel by raj The distance
from my house to Ellsworth is ten miles
My fare on the train WAS seventy fl We
cents and / was Obliged to walk six miles
Of the distance
cent mileage, or is it an advantage to the
people TO have more railroads?
A SUBSCRIBER.
Fhe writer does not sly ut which end
Of he route it was necrs ,ary for him to
walk six miles, but pre+umt5ly it was al
the Franklin end. RS the regular Wash
ington County trains make connection
with Maine Central trains, and passengers
from Franklin are brought thr ough to
Ellsworth without change of cars. The
distance from franklin station to Ellis
worth by rail is about liz miles. There
fore II t he writer walked three miles from
his home to the Franklin station, his real
distance from Ellsworth by the route
travelled was Az mites. We call atteu-
ton to these facts in the name of fairness,
not in defence of the railroads, though
the fare charged (75 cents for % miles
81 cents mile) Is not large compared
With the local rates of other railroads
running through no more densely popu-
lated districts. ED.

THE CONGO RAILROAD.
Audacious Curves Permit Only Three
Cars to a Train.

From the New York sun.
Mr. Puttkamer the governor Of the Ger
man colony of the Cameroons, has been
making trip up the Congo on the railroad
which was completed in July last. lie
thinks the road is great achievement and
tells some interesting things about ii. The
governor was surprised to find that there
was not a tunnel along the 335 miles or
the route that the bridges span the rivers
without any supports in midstream ana
that in the mountainous regious there are
many sharp curves around which a locomo-
tive is not permitted to draw more IMAM
three cars on one train. Passenger trains
run at the rate of eighteen miles and
freight trains at the rate of ten miles an
hour. The passenger trains leave each end
of the route three times week. They
meet midway at Tumba, where they spend
the night. No trains are run in the night
time, and freight trains are sent out irregu-
larry and only when there are two or three
car loads to be transported. Business re-
quires several freight trains a week.
There is not a single native village along
the route. The people do not like the noise
of the locomotive or the bush steamer"
as the Kru boys call the formidable ma
chine, and so they have moved back into
the tranquility of the country several
miles away from the track. Thousands or
the natives. however are in the employ of
the Congo state making betterments In the
road, but they all live at the state stations
The Bangala cannibals from far up the
river form the larger part Of the working
force.
The great need on the upper Congo is
more steamboats,. All the trading compa-
MES and some of the mission stations have
steamers of their own, and the state has a
Meet OF thirty boats, but freight Is con-
stantiy plling up, waiting for transporta-
tlon- AT Stanley Pool there are a number
OF shlpyards, where the steamboats, that
come from Europe in sections are nut to-
gether, and all of these yards are now
scenes OF the greatest activity Most of
the engineers and mechanics are Belgiaus
out there is a sprinkling of Norwegians
and Swedes.
Horned cattle are now raised at various
places from Matadi, the starting point Of
the railroad, to Stanley Pool, and the
whites in the interior are beginning to have
an abundance of fresh beef Many white
women are living with their husbands at
Matadi, Tumba and Stanley Pool, and
seem to enjoy very good health In this re-
gion, where fifteen years ago the mortality
among the whites was very large.

sHEEr DOGS INTELLIGENCE.
some Interesting Experiments Per.
formed at the Trials.

IoiI lit l-u'iSdlt hdSdLllN'-
Since the Introduction of sheep dog trials
in Wales and England this highly interest
ing and instructive sport is becoming
yearly more popular On a fine day it
would indeed be difficult to lind more in
teresting sight than the highly trained
shepherds dog, or collie, working the lit
tie flock Of three of the widest sheep over
the course in d most wonderful manner.
The friendness and jOVial good humor of
the owners of dogs toward one another
are in marked contrast to the jealousies
SO often present at sporting meetings,
added to which the fresh air, healthy sur
roundinss and gay throngs go to make a
thorough days enjoyment.
The shepherd working the dog stands al
the post, from which he is not allowed to
move more than six yards. At a given
signal three sheep are liberated from the
pen. The shepherd then sends his dog TO
the sheep, which are to be driven in the
direction indicated by the arrows and be-
tween the hurdles. If any of the sheep
go outside the hurdles the dog must bring
them back and take them the proper
course, TO the triangular pen of three hur-
dies, which has an opening of twenty-five
inches, just wide enough to allow one
sheep to enter al a time. He has then TO
pen them, the time allowed being thirteen
minutes from the time the three sheep
are first liberated The worker of the dog
is allowed TO assist, without. however,
touching the sheep when the dog has
brought them up to the pen. The shepherd
works the dog almost entirely by whistling
or motions. Often the sheep separate at
the commencement, The dog has then to
bring them together and start with his
charge at the proper place. The compeu-
tor may be successful in driving his three
sheep up to the pen at the end of the trial.
He has then most difficult task, and the
utmost patience and skill are then re-
quired, only one sheep can enter at a
time, and the other two will often go out
side the pen. 1t is then the dogs sagacity
is shown. He will crawl his belly like
a cat, and quietly drive them inch by inch
until he gets them in the opening and the
three joStled into the pen.
Another innovation has lately been intro
duced a some trials. The shepherds mark
three sheep, which are driven among a
flock of about a hundred or more. The
dog has then to find the marked sheep and
bring them from among the others, which
he does, showing wonderful sagacity and
intelligence in doing
In training collieS the young dogs are gen.
orally taught by accompanying old dogs.
Months of patient toll are required to fit
them to compete at trials successfully. The
young dog is very wild and apt to overrun
the sheep, in which case the shepherd often
has to devise means to hold him in check
which he does by tying up one of his front
paws with his pocket Handkerchief around
the dogs neck, thus leaving the dog only
three legs to run on, and it is surprising
how soon the dog understands its meaning.

Pittsburg's Marvellous Prosperity.

From the New York Tribune.
Were talking more about the reorgani-
cation of the Carnegie Company out in
Pittsburg than anything else said H. J.
Heinz, the pickle man, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last night. Carnegie and his gigan-
tic plans, both business and philanthropic
keep us interested. The last gift of S75O.-
GO to the Pittsburg library will greatly
widen its scope There are five branch
libraries in the city, and a number of towns
within fifty miles of Pittsburg have Car
negie libraries. We are having marvel
ously prosperous times out there now
Every steel plant is running fun time. no
laborer Is out of job If he Will WORK.
and the demand for dwelling houses is un-
precedented. Pittsburg's industries are
greatly diversified, and that, with the Nc
Kinley administration, has made us pros
porous and happy as never before"
