of it. In the middle of the first act
just as the father and mother of the
two small boys had settled themselves
for comfortable evening the father
of the third boy, white faced and aExi-
Gus, strobe down the aisle. In few
words he made the situation plain. Lit
tie Johnny was missing.
Why gasped the mother of the two
boys-"He was at our house when l
left-playing just as happily as-Oh.

and help find him

neighborhood. called at every house for
five or six blocks--the child will freeze
to death if he isn't found soon"
1t was no time for sympathetic utter
ances. The thing to do Of course was
to find the boy. 1t did not seem posi-
BILE that a little 5-year-old could toddle
the streets until O'Clock without being
found by somebody and taken care of.
The run home was made in short or
der. The father of the two boys went
in one direction, the father of the miss
ing boy in another The mother of the
two boys after hurriedly asking her
servant what had become of the neigh
boris child and hearing the girls broken
declaration that she hadn't seen him,
rushed over to console the frantic
mother of the absent youngster. Ten

whole neighborhood was out searching.
No sign of little Johnny anywhere. The
police had heard nothing of the child

home. He looked hopeless. The only
chance was, he said. that some one had
taken the boy in and that he would pe

insisted that he had fallen into
a we'll and drowned.
AT a. m. the mother of the two little
boys thought she would run over and
see how her own youngsters We're, an
nouncing that she would be right back.
She returned in such haste and with
such utter Indifference to obstacles that
two tables loaded with bric-a-brac in the
front parlor of little Johnnys home
went kiting. The mother of the two
little boys was SO frightfully excited
that she couldn't speak. All she could
do was to throw herself into a chair and
gasp as she pointed in the direction of
her own home. The father of the two
boys jumped for the door, followed by
the father of the one boy. Then the
mother of the two boys found her
tongue and related to the mother of lit
tie Johnny how, when she had gone up
stairs to kiss her own sleeping cherubs,
she had seen three yellow heads on the
pillow instead of two--how it didn't

bird head was Johnny's, and how she

How Johnnie Got Lost,

A queer thing happened the other
night at house on Portland avenue
The people who live there, a Young
couple blessed with two small boys,
aged respectively five and six years,
are pretty well known in society, and
the joke is on them. Moreover, they
don't mind it, for that which is a joke
might have been tragedy The couple
with the two children are near neigh
bors and close friends of another couple
with one child, also boy five years old.
The children of the two families ave
constantly interchanging informal WIS.,
its, and when out of doors they are
usually together.
Last Wednesday the parents of the
two children engaged in a new domes-
tic. For week prior to that time
they had been without help as a result
of which the lady of the house had been
doing her own cooking and the gentle
man his own dishwashing, a task that
compels any self-respecting man TO
praise God with heartfelt fervor as soon
as he sees the new servant properly in
stalled. In this particular instance,
both the husband and wife We're so ex-
uberantly joyous over their late kitchen
acquisition, that they decided to cele-
brate her installation with a visit to
the theater. 1t was agreed that the
wife should meet the husband down
town after his office hours, that they
should dine at cafe, and proceed
thence to the play.
At something after the mother of
the two boys left them playing morse
on the dining room chairs, the neigh
bor's little boy being with them. The
new servant could speak but little Eng
lish, but she assured her mistress that
she would take good care of the chill
dren, give them supper, put them to

THIRTY YEARS FIGHT.
Heirs of WIN. A. Er'ckhill Gain n Suit
against the ity of New York.

Heirs of WIN. A. Er'ckhil Gain Suit
against the city "f New York.
Through report filed in the United
States Court by Gen. E. G. F. Howard,
Master in Chancery in the suit brought
against the City of New York thirty
years ago by William A. Brickill, a
fireman, Misses Anna and Lucy Brick
i'll. their brothers, Harry and George
Brickill, the plaintiffs children, are led
to believe that a fortune awaits them.
Miss Anna Brickill is a stenographer
and daily comes to Manhattan from
Belleville, y. j., where her sister is a
school teacher. In 1866 William
Br.ckill. a fireman, invented device
by which water could be constantly
kept heated in the boilers of the en-
gines. Brickill permitted the Fire De-
partment to use this invention on every
one of the thirtyfour engines then in
the city. The device is used now on the
engines of nearly every city in this
country.
|. Brictill obtained a patent in 1870.
On refusal of the city to give him $50
coo for the exclusive rights to the pa
tent. he filed suit and resigned from
he force.
Not until 1880 did the courts uphold
the legality of the patent and appoint
a Master in Chancery to determine the
amount the city should pay. 1t hae
taken many years to settle that ques-
ton. a short time ago it was reporte
that the city owed Brickils heir

lonial" governments established over
them were only makeshift temporary af-
fairs, replaced as soon as possible with
the territorial form. None Of these
things does anybody pretend to intend
for the Philippines We simply can't
in any conceivable time admit them to
full participation in government with us
because we are already overloaded with
race problems. Finally, even If these
earlier anneXations were not with the
consent of the governed they were not
against their consent-the criminal ag-
gression of forcible annexation"-a the
present war roves this to be.
The colonel's third assumption Is pure
assumption, not only without evidence,
but contrary to what evidence we have.
We will dismiss Aguinaldo from the
discussion, though there is plenty of
chance for argument about him, because
it is the principle, not the man, that is
important. We can never know with
certainty whether any people is capable
of self government until they have tried
it, and no people ever yet has been or
ever can be prepared for it by keeping
them subject to another people. The
Philippines alone of all Spanish possess
sions, have had for a long time system
of sef-government by villages and it
seems to have worked WELL In the island
of Luzon at least their percentage of IL
literacy is less than anywhere in Eu-
rope, except Germany, and very little
above that of this country. chronological
" they are closely kindred to the Japan
csc, who have made such wonderful
progress in parliamentary institutions
In the last half century. George
Dewey tells US they are better
capable of government than the
Cubans. Prof. Worcester tells us
there is no intra-tropical people in the
world with whom the prospect is so
hopeful. The "chaos and anarchy" talk,
therefore, is of piece with Louis Ma
pOleons pretense as a "saviOr of soce-
ty," when he overthrow the French re-
public.
AS legal fiction the "Spanish title
talk may answer. But as a moral iusti-
fication it is baseleSs. Unless all Amer
lean principles are a mockerv, the title

more right to traffic this people at 81 a

made for it in this view. but even thi:

I Brattleboro Eeformer, Nav al.


Col. Haskins, who always argues pow
erfully, has stated as well and as COM
prehensvely as has been done anywhere
the argument for the Philippine job, in
his Decoration day address, from which
we quote literally elsewhere. This part
of his speech NAV be said to rest on
four propositions CD that the character
iZation of the administrations policy as
"imperialism" Is an awful lie, 90 that
just such acquisitions as we are now
making have been made all through our
history regardless of the "consent of the
governed" g. that Aguinaldo is a cut.
throat and the Philippine people incap-
able of governing themselves and sure
to lapse into chaos and anarchy unless
we govern them. and 1t is duty to civ
ilizatiOn to take them in charge and
teach them self government, and (4) that
the title to them acquired from Spain is
complete and binding.
As TO the first the use of the word
imperialism is aggravating to the adj
vocates of annexation simply because
with its ugly sound in American ears
it fits the case so exactly. 1t is the only
word that fully describes the proclaimed
purpose of the annexation. Imperial
ism does necessarily involve an emperor,
as the Colonel intimates. Its meaning is
empire or sovereignty, a ruling over
others-in other words Just the opposite
of self government and precisely what is
proposed for the Philippines. What it
means at home is shown by the Colo
nels own argument for the punishment
of any talk of opposition as "sedition."
Col. Haskins and all the others who
cite the Louisiana and other precedents
very carefully overlook several vital dis
tinctions. In the first place these acqui.
sitions were in the main uninhabited ter
ritory instead of fully populated country
like the Philippines, and all except Alas
ka contiguous territory that was capable
of assimilation with ours. In the sec
ond place they were every one, except
Alaska, taken with the purpose and the
solemn treaty agreement that they should
be admitted to an equality with our own
people-the only status upon which a
republic can contain any people and en-
dure, as all history proves, as well as
our own terrible experience from slay-
ery-and that they should as soon as
possible be erected into self-gOverning
