The advance in wages in cotton
mills is merely a reaction of the i'm
proved condition of the country.
The prosperity which has been
promised for so many years seems
to have materialized at last. The
advancement of wages in the cotton
industry comes at i time when nearly
all the industries of the country are
responding to the larger employment
of labor. The wooden industry seems
practically alone, for the depression
that has been disslpated in other
Industries still clings to this industry.
Twould not be unreasonable to assume
that the wooden industry can long
remain an exception to other in
dustries; there are already indications
which point to a revival of trade in
woolen goods. Still it may be some
time before the industry finds steady
and increased employment which
viii permit of any increase in wages.
Toe country, however, is headed
toward long period of prosperity,
from which labor will benefit as
much as, if not more than, capital.

THE PROCLAMATION.

The proclamation which the Philip
pine commissioners have addressed
to the Filipino people is a noble
state paper. 1t breathes a sririt of
truth, sincerity. magnanimity and
firmness. It's statements of facts can
not be challenged, and its logic is
uDanswerable.
''And why these hostilities?" it
asks. "What do the best Filipinos
desire? Can it be more than the
United States is ready to give ?
They are patriots and want liberty,
it is said. The commission emphat-
ically asserts that the United States
is not only willing but anxious to
establish in the Philippine islands an
enlightened system of government,
under which the Philippine people
may enjoy the largest measure of
home rule and ample liberty conso-
nant with the supreme ends of
government and compatible with
those obligations which the United
States has assumed toward the civil
lied nations of the world
1t may be said in reply that the
Filipinos want theoretical independ
ence, but that is mere dreaming, and
would substitute the shadow for the
substance of liberty. Theoretical in
dependence and complete sovereign
ty are by nature denied to the
Filipino people. They lack the
progress, the knowledge, the training
and the conceptions which are the
price of complete national sovereign
ty. And they lack the power to
maintain it.
Under the benign protection of
the United States there will come to
the Philippines progress, education.
enlightenment, protection in civil and
property rights, home rule, freedom
OF conscience and religion, diminish
ing burdens of taxation, and increas-
ing prosperity. Who can doubt it !?
Under the autocratic rule of
Aguinaldo would come confusion,
tyranny. appeal to foreign interven-
tion, and probably the PARTITION of
the islands between opposing powers.
Who can doubt that? What crotchet
has entered the minds of men who
go on insisting that injustice and
tyranny stalk under the stars and
stripes, and that the adventurous
and barbaric banner of Aguinaldo is
the true emblem of human liberty p

CHINA'S CORRUPT OFFICIALS.
Sample of the Robbery Practiced at the
Gates of Pekin.

Sample OF the Robbery Practiced at the
Gates OF Pekin.
A curious instance and by no means
a fattering one of Chinese methods OF
government has just been supplied by
the arrival of Sheng Taotai from
Shanghai. This gentleman holds sew
eral important posts, and among others
has the appointment OF director OF
railways. He is also the admins
ira or of the Chinese tel. ;raphs, and
has an excellent reputation among for
eigrers for his tolerance and open
m ndedness. Recently he was called
here by command of the emperor to
confer about several reforms which his
majesty Is so eager to adopt. The
chief officials of Pekin hailed his adj
vent with delight, as 1t at last gave
them the opportunity Of "sque :Te,
which had been quite impossible wlile
Sheng was so far distant at Shang-
hal. The modus operandi is quite a
usual and an everyday one and de-
serves notice. The gates of Pekin are
farmed out to high officials, chiefly
princes of royal blood. All merchan-
disc Is examined and is passed on pay
n,tnt Of SIN Il tax. But when an
oMciCl like Leng comes in, from
whom they are DESTROYS Of exactiag
good round sum, the procedure is al
tered. In this particular case Sheng
was given to understand that contra
band articles would be found in his
luggage unless he satisfied the farm
ers of the gate. | believe / am cor
rect in saying that Sheng did not even
attempt to dispute or haggle, but re-
stsnedly asked what amount was re-
CURED. The answer was 10000 taels.
This was paid, or promised, and Sheng
proceeded on his journey, probably
glad at having got off 50 cheaply. But
AGAINST all precedent AMI cIstom he
was stopped at the in gate and
did not get off under 10000 taels. So
altogether this unfortunate official.
called to the capital by the emperors
order had to pay over $3.50 pounds be-
fore he was allowed to go to his
duties.

THE MAD KING.
Otto Of bavaria and His Beautiful
Little Palace.

Otto Of Bavaria and Ills Beautiful
Little Palace.
The reigning king OF Bavaria is Otto
l., a man whose state OF mental alien
alton is dark and terri lie, says the
Detroit Free Press. He lives since his
accession as he had lived before, shut
up In the beautiful little palace Of
Furstenrld. about two hours distant
from Munich. or late years his malay
has taken the form OF stupor, though
there are still occasional outbreaks OF
violence. There has never been any
hope for his recovery, and 1t is really
a lamentable fact that his physical
health Is excellent. He occupies a
suite OF rooms on the ground Of the
palace, the doors being always LETT
open during the daytime, as closed
doors and windows excite his rage.
Once he broke all the front windows
Of his apartmc s and since then the
glass has been protected by wire. Moth
ing else about the palace would indi-
cate that lunatic inhabited 1t. The
king is always dressed in black and his
pet adornment Is long black beard,
which he will not allow trimmed. He
often washes his face and hands, but
can seldom be persuaded to take a full
bath. He smokes from thirty to forty
cigars or cigarettes a day-enough to
make any man crazy! He seems to
have no marked desire for anything OF
imDOrtance II Is Described no nitiful
to see him look at the old servant who
cared for him in his infancy--she alone
calls forth CLEAN of intelligence in
his countenance. Notwithstanding the
great misfortune that his condition Is
to their country, the good Bavarians
celebrate the natal day Of their mad
king with great loyalty.

She Ideal Kiss.

Now, this is an ideal kiss, says an old
writer.
The woman's head should rest lightly
on the masculine shoulder. Her eyes
look into his. There is not I % NJ .ch
h,ste about it. Haste is always val.
gar, and that ought to be kept we'll in
mind. 81, WY he bends his head. She
makes a sliYi'. very slight resistance.
or course no self-respectng girl sub
mils calmly TO being kissed. but Us lie
knows this. lie does not give the
feminine mind u chance to reconsider,
and with q little sigh she permits the
masculine lips TO rest on hers for
well, authorities differ as to how long
a kiss should last. Byron, who ought
to know oil about it, s"ys:
:, For Il kiss strength
! think II should be measured by its length"
Aud In another place he speaks OF
"a long, long KISS n kiss of youth and love
Aud beauty, al concentrating like rays
Into one focus kindlrd from above"
SO he evidently believed the kiss
should not be cut short, while other
writer's are in favor OF ",antalizins by
brief KISSES" wnlch make one wish to
kiss and come again"

Is the earliest riser. as it pipes as early
as 1880 in the morning, the blackcap
beginning at about 2:30 1t Is nearly

horizon, before the first real songster
appears in the person of the blackbird.
He Is heard half an hour before the
thrush, and the cr'rp of the robin be-
gins about the So length of time be-
fore that of u g wren. Finally the
house sparrow and the t"mtit occupy
The last place on the list. This investi-
cation has altogether ruined the larks

1t does not rise until after the chat

A Strange Siame.c Custom.

Every Siamese girl who reaches a
certain age without marrying is ticket
ed and labeled and placed in priv
ileged class. under the special care Of
the king, who binds himself to find
husbands for them all. His method is
delightiully simple, A prisoner in any
of the Siamese jals may gain his par
don and release by marrying one of the
ineligible class. Whether he is already
married or not is not of great conse-
quence, for in Siam it is not necessary
TO draw the line Mt one wife. This
method of matchmaking can hardly
result in domestic bliss.

Wear Mems Gloves.

The latest masculine wrinkle which
girls affect is masculine gloves. not
gloves made in mannish style and
fitting the feminine hand, but gloves
that are cut on masculine lines. de-
signed for masculine wearing, and but
toned with the single button that holds
together the abbreviated kid wrist. The
gloves are short and square and made
Of heavy dogskin and stitched marked
ly in white. The fingers are big and
clumsy. and the entire glove is almost
twice the size which the girl ordina-
rily affects. The bigger the glove the
more stylish the result. The mascu-
line glove is entirely in keeping with
the stubby. ugly masculine shoe
