DISCUSSION OF THE 1KEATY.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Frye
in his argument for the ratification of
the peace treaty with Spain i'll today S
executive session of the Senate, said
that the commissioners had felt that they
were justified in drawing upon the gen
erosity of this country in agreeing to
pay $20,000,000 to Spain for the inn
provements made by the Spanish Gov
ernment and in conceding to them for
Il term of years the same privileges as
claimed for the United States in the
matter of trade in the conquered coun-
try. Such concessions, he said, were in
the line of the precedents set by the
most civilized nations
In agreeing to pay Spain lump sum
we We're also following the best prece-
dents as well as consulting the most gen
erous national sentiment. Many ques-
tions were read to show that other ma
tions had pursued this course toward
their vanquished rivals. and especial
stress was laid upon the course of Ger
many in taking Alsace and Lorraine
from France and paying for them $780,
100000.
In conclusion he referred TO the great
improvement in religious and spirit
ual way that would result from Ameri-
can occupttion of the islands.
Senator Davis argued a question which
was put by Senator Mason. The ques-
tion was whether it was the purpose OF
the United States to pay the $50, 100000
indemnity until the United States should
come into the full possession and occu.
patton of the country.
Mr.. Davis referred Mr.. Mason TO the
text of the treaty for his reply. He
said the Spaniards had shown their good
faith by preparing as speedily as pos
sible to evacuate the ceded islands
They had ceased to defend them for
themselves. and therefore Spain could
not be held responsible for any failure
on our part to avail ourselves of SOW
ereignty. He understood that the rati.
fication of the treaty bound us to the
payment of the indemnity regardless OF
the attitude of the natives of the Phil
ippines.

the puDllc Scn00I system OF tnS SLdle
offered little or no opportunity 10 the
people to learn to read and write. From
1861 to and during the reconstruction
period but few public schools were
open.
What will be the probable effect upon
the voting population?
"Of course the amendment will eX-
clude Il very large percentage of the
negroes from the ballot box. This, not
because they are negroes, but because
they are ignorant and have. neither by
acquisition nor Inheritance, the capacity
to vote intelligently. The amendment
will secure to every white man who
himself, or his ancestors voted, on
January /, 1861 or prior thereto the
right to vote, either because of his
capacity to read and write, or because
his father or grandfather enjoyed said
right and by the exercise of it for gener-
ations had been educated to use it wise
ly. The necessity for legislation of this
character has been demonstrated in
every State in the South, and especially
in those most exposed to the danger
of this ignorant and because thereof
easily corrupted vote This is true espe-
cially in South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana, and we but follow their OK

Stove Adapted for Hot We.th.r


Professor William NJ. Watts, Of stu
Pond, has novelty in the form of Z
cold stove. The stove is for use in the
heated months of summer for reducing
temperature, just as stoves heated by
fire are used to raise the temperature
in winter. BY the use of salt, a small
quantity of ice and patented chem.
ical the most intense degree Of cold ID
secured. So great Is the cold that 1t IL
as dangerous to touch this cold stove
when in operation as 1t would be to
place the hand on a fire stove at high
degree of heat. Tho skin Is instantly
takcn off and painful injuries are the
result of the slightest contact. Pro-
lessor Watts states that during the hot
test weather the temperature Of room
may be run down and made pleasant by
the use of this novel device. The new
process was discovered by a college
mate of the teacher Of the Still Pond
school. The cost of operating the stove

Resources of tho I'll ipinos.

Asked as to the resources at COM
mand OF the reyolutionists, Captain
Frost, late Colonel of South Dakota
Volunteers, said Measured by the
needs of an army like ours or the
armies of any of the civilized coun-
tries, they have no great resources.
But measured by the needs of any of
the Filipinos and their methods OF
campaigning. their resources are prac-
tically unlimited. The Filipino sol.
der does not need anything to speak
of. Take his equipment; for can
teen he cuts section of bamboo, in
serts a plug in one end, and attaches
bit Of ropo which he sings over his
shoulder; his cartridges he carries in
q little bag, and with his ride he is
ready for business. His food, which
is rice, he finds in abundance almost
anywhere he goes. In every shack
he enters there is sort of bowl made
from stump followed out at the top,
and near it little club which is use,l
as peste. He takes the unhulIed
rice from the fields, puts it into this
mortar, pokes it around bit, losses
it into the air to get out the chat, and
he has handful of rice for his meal.
He does not have to carry his pro.
visions. There are no Filipino meat
or vegetable rations, such as our army
has. 1t is unnecessary to establish a
base OF supplies or keep up supply
train. The Filipino feeds as he goes,
like an animal. New York Post.

And the crow feet in your eyes have como

Just to feel her little hand
Smoothin' back each silver strand,
While you meet her loving look and hear
my dear, 1t seems as tho
Every year you live you grow
Hsndsomer than In the olden day."
Then you look up at your wife
And you think In all your life
But the tear drops will arise
To your dim old fadn' eyes,
And you kiss the gentle hand, still white
and small;
While you try to tell her how
You loved her then-love her now,
But bless me IL tho words will come at all;
For just then there comes to you
The trials she's gone thro',
And borne without murmur for your sake;
You can only bow your head
At the lovin' things she's said,
While your poor old heart will only achc
and ache.
But she knows what ails you then,
And she kisses you again,
While you hear her gently whisper, sweet
and low,
Lille nus Drought more hopes tnuu lttTS,
We have known more smiles than tears,
And the years seem ever brighter us they
CO.,
Yes, tits comfortin' you know,
When your step is gettin' slow
And you're slidin' down life's hill almighty
fast,
Just to feel her little hand
Smoothin' back each silver strand,
While she tells you that she'll love you to
the last.

Philippine group-which has not It's
gold bearing sands. The alluvial de-
posts of the precious metal have been
garnered for many years, but no thor
ough exploration for gold at Its sources
in the mountains has ever been made,
because the Spaniards were unable to
conquer the tribes inhabiting the in
terror regions. Some of these tribes
are said to look upon the digging up OF
the earth as a sacrilege. and they will
not seek gold in that way, nor permit
others to do 1t. lest the wrath of the
gods should grow hot against them.
