GAIETY AT THE BUFFALO RIDGE
SPRINGS.


Nelson. Aug. 26.-It is, in the stiffness
of the evening, when the shadows slow
~, softly gather on the lawn, that the
lovers may be seen stealing forth for
ther last tete-a-tete. Such nights!
GSch days AS we are having, No time
for such tame amusemcnts as card
playing and bowling on mornings like
9hese, when tho very air breathes of
love and freedom, But away we HE, to
the mountains, fields and meadows, for
Foon we know these tetn-a-tetes, these
gypsyings, with fern-fli7H baskets,

How full we are crowding these Az

from us. The height of the season. the

There are now here scores of gallant

no addition to that company is desired.
Friday night Hon. Thomas J. Agee.

and Mrs. j. ". Colbert.
The ballroom is every night scene
of brilliant gayety. and the dancing
goes on till the witching hour of mid
night calls a halt
We hear many rumors of prize parties
twhatever they are) given by the young
iadies, and they must be very enjoya-
bic, to judge from the sounds of
"revelry by night" and the music in
the air"
Riding and driving parties are still
the order of the day. while ten-pins
and other games serve to make the
hours fly by on golden wings.
The weather here is truly delightful

Jersey Stands by Its~Own.

No one will be surprised at the de-
cision of the New Jersey Supreme
Court sustaining trusts. The incuba-
leading New Jersey industry. A very
large proportion of the states income
is derived from fees for licensing them.
Hence the Supreme Court, being in
iuenced-consciously or unconsciously
by its environment, naturally leans
toward the trust proposition. For a
New Jersey court to condemn trusts
would be equivalent to a Pennsylvania
tribunal denouncing the iron industry
or a Louisiana court assailing the
manufacture of sugar.-Chicago Chron-
icle.
If the above statement is reliable
there is but little difference between
the criminal in the penitentiary and the
judge on the bench, and that little is
in favor of the convict, says the Nom
conformist. II judges decide causes
according to their own interest, there
is little hope for the American judic-
iary. If Judge in New Jersey. Penn
sylvania or Louisiana decides a cause
unjustly to please his state, his party
or his friends, what is to prevent that
same judge from accepting a bribe
to please himself? Surely not honor,
for he hasn't any. Yet there are peo-
pie who claim that we must not say
anything against the courts because
they are the sacred palladium of our
liberties. On the contrary, they are
the bulwark that upholds the encroach-
ments of plutocracy and greed. The
shortest and best legislature was that
of Representative Shrader. Here 1t is
in full: Damn the Supreme Court"
This speech was only intended to apply
to the Supreme Court of Nebraska, but
he wouldn't have gone far wrong IL
he had included several of the federal
courts in his condemnatory ejacula-
tions.

In view of the apparent fondness of
the administration for Investigations
we would respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of congressional action next
winter looking to thorough investi-
cation of the conduct Of the war, and
especially to answer a number OF per-
tinent questions, among which the fol-
lowing come to mind off hand:
When was the idea of conquest of the
Philippine islands first hit upon and
by whom?
When was 1t determined that COOP
Grafton with the people of the Philip
pine islands against the common enc
my should be abandoned and co-opera-
tion with the Spaniards against the
Philippine republic agreed upon, and
why?
Was the surrender of Manila to Gen.
Merritt the result of sham battle ar
ranged without the knowledge of our
then allies?
Why was the commanding general of
the American army kept in ignorance
of the purpose of the administration a
year ago to fight the Filipinos as well
as the Spaniards?
Was actual hostilities in February
last authorized by the commanders of
either of the armies investing Manila?
Did President Aguinaldo repudiate
responsibility for the rioting of Feb.
4 last and request the establishment
of neutral zone to prevent any pos
sibility of trouble?
How many times did emissaries of
the Filipino republic enter the Ameri-
can lines to ask for an armistice or to
offer terms of peace, and what terms of
peace we're offered or suggested?
What was the purpose of the cam
paign to Calumpit and across Laguna
de Bay, and why was the conquered
tesrttory surrendered?
What proportion of the population of
Luzop have actually pledged adher-

ence to the constitution or the United
States and have shown by their works
true loyalty to the American flag?
How many Of the islands Of the ar
chipelago have formally accepted the
sovereignty of the United States?
What sums were offered the Filipino
soldiers as bribes to turn over their
guns and by whose authority?
What was the compensation paid the
Mohammedan sultan of Sulu and what
was the agreement as to annual pay
ments to him!
What is the state of civilization, ed
ucation, wealth and religious proclivi-
ties of those who are upholding the
Filipino cause and of those who are
supporting the United States?
There are many other similar ques-
tions that the American people would
like to have answered, but these are
sufficient to suggest the proper lines of
a congressional investigation into the
conduct of the Filipino-American waz.
