was worth, and who would doubtless sell
himself to us if we were disposed to buy
such secondhand goods, differs in some
important respects from the father OF our
country. In fact he is no more like him
than Senator Hoar is like Lafayette. The
little hstchet story will never be told OF
him. He knows that bis countrymen are
not fit tor self government and that if left
to themselves tribal civil war would
speedily ensue. He knows that in such
case some European nation would stop
it and conquer the islands. He knows
that the United States will govern the peo-
pie well and give them all the liberty they
are capable of enjoying, protecting them
from themselves and from the arms of
other nations. But Aguinsldo cares moth
ing for all these things. What he wants is
to rule the Filipino, himself while the
United States protects him from the inter
ference of other nations. Or, failing in
this ambition, he wishes to sell out to US as
he did to the Spaniards. 1t looks as
though be were waiting for a bid. But
next fall when the mud dries up over there
he will find Uncle Sans long arm stretched
over the Pacific in anything but pacific
manner.

Mrs. Golddecker waved aside the
maid, and, rising anxiously, looked out
on upper Fifth avenue from the win
dow Of her just completed nineteenth
century palace. She was wond ering
whether his man, for whom she had
sent, possessed at last the one secret
that could make her happy. She paused
for moment, nerving herself inwardly
to encounter disappointment In case ii
should come, and then, in full control
of herself, she prepared to descend.
Leaving her boudoir, with it's 800, 00o
bedstead, she passed the diamond and
sapphire inlaid bathroom, with its gold
faucets glittering in the electric light
and, stepping into the cut glass eleva-
tor, was whirled rapidly downward tc

and brushing abstractedly against the

The Democratic Candidate for Pres
ident,

Who will he be? The man who was
beaten in fair and free run for the presi-
dency when he was in more favorable cir
cumstances for such contest than he will
ever be again, is not likely to receive
nomination from the party which has no
permanent and abiding principle except
that-to the victor belong the spoils. The
silver star of w. j. Bryan, which in 1896
seemed as large as the moon, has faded
from the eastern sky and is rapidly sinking
toward the western horizon.
The hard times brought on by foolish
democratic tariff made Bryan possibility
when men wanted even poor money rather
than none at all, since it would pay their
debts as well but in these prosperous
times when farmers have heavy crops to
sell and manufacturers have goods to
export, there is not a man of them who
does not prefer gold dollar to a silver
| one.
Antitrust and anti-expansion will be
the war-cries of the democracy, though
nine-tenths Of our expansion has beer
accomplished under democratic administra.
stions and democrats claim that they drove
the present administration into the Cubar
war.
But who will be their standard bearer il
the coming conflict? The great unknown
is anxiously looked for, but at present h'
is the darkest of all dark horses.

CHARLEsTowN's FOURTH.
1t has been reported by various contempt
| raneous papers that Charlestown's Fourth o
July celebration was riot let loose. Now the
writer wishes to correct every existing i'm
preston to that effect. The unbiased opinion
of the majority of people present, is that the
day was entirely successful and that disorder
and vulgarity were markedly absent.
The writer was in position to mingle with
the crowds and found only four cases o.
drunkenness. And these victims we're moth
ing, if not quiet. Because one person wa:
unfortunate enough to mix in an alteration
it does not follow that all persons present
were engaged in drunken brawls.
We will venture to say that tive are sure
! that no concourse of people of like proper
tions could have been handled with less dis
order and trouble"

The Christian Endeavorers in Detroit
Sunday refrained for the most part from
reading the Sunday papers, and few
clergymen, to avoid using the street cars,
walked long distances to reach the church
es where they were to speak. One Of them,
Rev. Charles Sheldon, author of ''In His
Steps," travelled three miles on foot to
preach to large congregation at the
Bethany Presbyterian church. BY this
pedestrian feat the reverend gentleman
saved his nickel, obtained the benefit of
healthful exercise and gained little no
