A BELATED REVOLT.

Simeon Walker sat on the top rail-

the act of getting over. His rubber
and roasted there.
The srow was foot deep on the
level, and in places it was over the
stone walls. Simeon's tracks trailed
OF across the field behind him. He
had come that way because 1t was
nearer. but when he had gone half the
distance he regretted it, and was
tempted to retrace his steps and go by
the road. After standing still and re-
feeting for some little time. he had
decided to continue.
When he reached the fence he was
glad he had taken the field, otherwise
there would have been no excuse for
resting on the top rail- of the fence.
He had shovel with him and was
going mile up the road to help dig
out drifted place.
Simeon sat on the fence till he began
TO be little chilly; whereupon he con-
cluded that he was rested enough, and
jumped down on the other side, into
the road.
He had covered nearly half the dis
tance to the place where he was to
work. when he stopped suddenly in
front OF the schoolhouse-
'"Time-uatiou!" he calculated under
his breath He was staring at a woman
who was making strenuous efforts to
dig path up to the schooIhouse door.
As she paused moment for breath
she caught sight OF Simeon. II he had
caught her stealing his chickens she
could hardly have looked more fright
ened and guilty.
"oh,~ she painted. Il thought could
get it dore before any one saw me"
"Keziah Thatcher" he said. solemn
ly. Il thought you had more sense"
He took the shovel from her. 1t was
a small fire-shovel He locked at 1t
seornfully. tossed it into convenient
bank and set to work with his own.
Don't some of the big boys dig the
paths for your" he asked, sternly.
Yes" she remarked, but they are
always so late, and then the fire does
not get to going and the little children

The BRYAN PROGRAM,

Senators in opposition to the peace treaty
are confning their remarks to the Philip
pines. They are asking for no declaration
as to Porto Rico. Apparently they are
willing that this government shall continue
in possession of that island and administer
its affairs. They are disturbed about the
Philippines because the islands are so far
away and the people so unlike our own.
Mr.. Bryan takes the ground that the
treaty ought first to be ratified and then
the fight against expansion inaugurated.
And his idea of defeating expansion Is that
an Independent government should be set
up in each of the colonies acquired from
Spain. He thinks the people of Porto Rico
as well entitled to independence as are the
people of the Philippines. He wants the
question submitted to them. He believes
that the decision would be in favor of in
dependence and he would have this govern
ment acquiesce in it.
Is this to be the attitude of all the anti
expansionists after the treaty has been rat
flied? Shall it be proposed that the gov
ernment hold nothing in it's own right?
Shall it act simply as trustee as in the
case of Cuba, until such time as the con-
ditions in Porto Rico and the Philippines
warrant government by the people them
selves? II so, why not include Hawaii in
the program? Why not make a clean
sweep and be done with it? Hawaii, it is
true, came to us of her own accord; but
her people are not more friendly to us than
are the Porto Ricans
This is an interesting question: because
Porto Rico and Hawaii are both connected
with the American calculations about the
Nicaragua canal. They are the sentinels in
the two oceans relied upon to make the
more secure the matter of American con-
troll The democratic party is in favor of
the canal, declares for it in its platforms
and votes for it in Congress. Would it be
wise to weaken the project in any of it's
features? Is not American control a mat
ter of absolute necessity? And should not
this government retain every advantage it
now possesses?
The Hawaiians had a government of their
own and surrendered it in order to enjoy
greater advantages and security under the
stars and stripes. Is there any reason why
the Porto Ricans may not expect to fare as
well under the same flag?
Evening star., 1899-02-01

The enemy is to be permitted to choose
his own ground of action. to enjoy immu-
nifty at exposed points, to suffer no dsad-
vantage because he is weaker in one place
than another. He must be assailed at his
strongest point and not surprised or block
AIDED or treated in any manner save as be-
comes gentlemen playing their pawns and
knights and castles. Unfortunately DR..
Scott is a seer after the fact. Now that the
war strokes have been laid on and Spain
has been whipped. largely by means of
these two enterprises of which he COM
plains, he grows large with the capacity of
Interpretation, because he believes he de-
tects tyranny in the American military
genius Usually those who have deprecat-
ed the situation in the Philippines have
contented themselves with the wall that
all would have been we'll If Dewey had
picked up his anchor after having sunk
the Spanish ships on the 1st of May and
sailed off home, leaving the archipelago in
a state of chaos. But DR.. Scott goes one
better and denounces the entire business of
putting forth from Hong Kong. Dewey,
IN MS opinion ought to have come straight
nome, around the Horn, carefully avoiding
any chance for fight until he got to
cuba. Clearly the congressional war crit
les nave been neglecting many opportuni-
ties or attack, which are now disclosed by
the ingenious Scott
