AguinaldO's Message to Funston.

Even General Aguinaldo has &C.
knowledged the ability of General
Funston as fighter. A few days
since the latter received the following
message from the president of the
Philippine republic:
"You did splendidly at Calumpit but
regardless of your superlative fighting
proclivities, I'm going to take San
Fernando from your troops on next
Thursday night"
Doubtless General Funston chuckled
at the chocolate-faced imp's audacity
Anyway when the rebels advancing on
three sides of the city, came within
range of the Yankee outposts, they re-
ceived a decidedly warm greeting.
The "lawn fete," as Colonel Little
called it, lasted about two hours wher
the insurgents retired, leaving possibly
500 dead and wounded on the field
The American losses in both killed anC
wounded would not exceed twenty-five

Cuban Administration.

General Leonard Wood is credited
with clearer perceptions and sounder
judgment in most matters pertaining
to Cuba than almost any other Amer
lean, and particularly, American army
officer. Great satisfaction would be
felt and greater confidence in the i'm
mediate future of Cuba if General
Wood were in the Office of governor
general of the island. This is because
of the efficiency and success Of his ad-
ministration of varied, difficult and
delicate affairs at Santiago, and the
ability and natural capacity for difficult
tasks he has shown throughout his
career. In the eyes of man of his
tact, wisdom and experience the ecu
ban problem" is neither difficult nor
dangerous, as he elucidates the ques-
ton in an article in the August Century,
and as he has illustrated it in direct
contact with it's difficulties and dangers.
The Cubans, he says, want what the
hosting of the American flag over their
island stands for; they want the sub
stance not the shadow of the American
occupation, the substitution not only OF
the American flag for the Spanish, but
American institutions and laws for
Spanish laws and usages. They are
not satisfied because these positive
benefits have not materialized. But
the Cubans may be too impatient.
Time is very important factor in
ripening the fruits of their redemption
from Spanish rule. In the following
paragraph General Wood defines what
the Cubans are expecting and what, in
his Judgment, the United States ought
and must give them:
"They are anxious to have thorough
reorganization OF their school system and tt
have the schools started. Without excep
tion all desire-I might say demand-Amer
lean teachers. They are anxious to learn En-
glish; they are anxious to become American
lied; they are not anxious to continue un
der the former educational, judicial and ad
ministrative conditions. II we pu
, every dollar of available public revenu
into absolutely necessary public works, re
, organize and reestabish the school systeI
and put in sufficient number OF English
speaking teachers to supply the demand i
this particular revise the existing admins
tration Of the law, modifying and human
, izing especially the process Of criminal pre-
cedure, stop talking politics and crossin

Niger In the WOOdpiIe.

Within the past two weeks certain
Vermont newspapers have begun a
vigorous attack on Hon. W. W. Stick
ney of Ludlow, among the number be-
ing the NetoS of Rutland, the Land
mark of White River Junction and the
NeDS of Mortified. The burden of
their song is that Mr.. Stickney is a
horrid railroad attorney, a corporation
mogul, feed juggernaut crushing the
rights of the common people and in no
wise worthy to grace the high Office of
Governor of the State. 1t is impossi.
BILE that there should be such rhetori-
cal commotion without cause

AS for the Democrats, their platform of
principles is known and it makes no differ
ence to them on what particular issue they
defeat the Republicans.-M Argus.
The above is a rich gem from newspaper
which aspires to be the organ OF the Ver-
mont Democracy. The best Democrats in
the party can't even guess what the plat
form and principles Of his party are to-day
and indeed there are very few Democrats
who would think of advancing the claim
that the party has had any such thing since
it was demoralized by Bryan in '96. Even
Colonel Smslley himself doesn't know
whether he will have to seek health in
Europe during the next presidential CAM
psign, or not.-Northfield News.
"Aspires to be the organ of the Ver-
mont Democracy? If the contempt
rary is credited with the claims it makes
il the newspaper directories and else
where the Evening Argus is "inde-
pendent" - non-political or non-par-
tisan; but the weekly edition is "Demo-
cratic" Thus the contemporary APP
pears to be achieving sort of physical
paradox, riding two horses travelling
in opposite directions. But the feat is
sort of optical illusion, as the matter
that appears in the paper that "aspires
to be the organ of the Vermont De.
mocracy," is printed first in the ''inde'
pendent" Evening Argus. To shift the
simile, the contemporary seems to be a
sort of political mud turtle which tradi.
ton credits with seven different kinds
of meat in one. The Mortified con.
temporary is naturally bewldered as to
"what particular issue" the Democracy
is maintaining, and the Vermont De
mocracy might have some doubt as tt
where their wandering Willie" is at
if they took seriously his antics in thu
political circus ring.

Following the recent-and destruc-
tive-rainy season battle in the Philip
pines, the insurgent authorities are
bracing up the courage of their deluded
followers by exhortations to hold out
little longer, that European recognition
will be granted by the last of this
month, and that the existing admins
tration of the United States govern
ment will be overthrown. The evil
dence of these sources of encourage
ment are revealed only to the eye Of
Filipino cunning. Of European in
tervention there is not even the re-
semblance of the reason that may be
behind the assurance that the present
government of the United States will
be overthrown and new administers
ton installed that will give the Fill
pinos independence. The delusive
publications and sayings of the anti
imperialists in America are the only
ground for this hope, they were the
main encouragement for the insurrec
ton that began in February, and have
been its main-stay in the months thai
have since elapsed. The letters Gen
eral Otis has recently captured reveal
ing the sources of Filipino faith, in iti
reliance on the overthrow of the Amer
lean government, constitute fresh in
dictment of rampant anti-imperialism
They fasten upon it's followers and Sc
