The Ii0lIo Incl. :. ent.

Iloilo is second only both as a town and port in the Philippines to Manila. It is in the island of Panay, an island not one- quarter of the size of either Luzon or Mindanao island The position of Panay and of it's chief port is, however. very .m- portant. It's position is about central in the group of islands, and it Is at the head of the Sulu or Mindoro sea, as North Bor neo is at the other end of that sea. The control of that sea is important although North Borneo belongs to England but with John Bull at one end and Jonathan at the other, the sea becomes an Anglo-Saxon lake, which is quite in accord with modern tendencies. MT. Caffery to the contrary twithstanding.
 The hitch in Iloilo arose from a spell of cussedness in the mind of a General Rios who had command of 800 Spanish troops at Ilolo. He knew full well that it was his duty to surrender the island and all the forts and wharves and buildings that had belonged to Spain to the United States, but in order to carry out his malevolence he surrendered them to a lot of visayas who were indulinging in a local government of their own. General Miller, a veteran of the civil war. at the head of some Maxim guns, and a force about 5000 strong, is charged with the duty of raising the Stars and Stripes in Iloio and restoring peace, order and good government. The guns of the Baltimore are behind him. and between the two the submission of the insurgents will not be long delayed. The government is evidently endeavoring to settle the trouble without bloodshed and the pros- poets are very good that the sovereignty of the United States will be asserted peace- fully. The Filipinos are always open to a bargain.
 Spain should be held responsible for any damage that may result from the trickery of its military commander at Iloilo. He held the town and port securely, and in no way was he compelled to surrender them to the irreconcables of Panay. He did so of his own motion. Instead of holding the city until the American forces arrived to take possession, he maicously evacuated them, thus permitting some mschievous in- surgents to occupy and hold them. For this trickery Spain should be held respon- sible, and the amount of damage can be withheld from the sum called for by the treaty of Paris
 The chances are, however, that the difi- culty will soon be settled, and that the supremacy of the United States will speedily be recognized in every part of the archipelago. It Is nowhere questioned now except at Iloilo, and the Baltimore is alone competent to adjust matters there. The entire Orient must be made to know that Uncle Sam not to be tritied with Ilolo may become an object lesson, but it is more likely to be new illustration of Malay discretion. After the flag is fully and un- conditionally recognized there will arise the problems of permanent government and, as Mr. Bryan has graphically pointed out, they are by no means easy questions.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR
From the Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal.
 The suspects for the next gubernatorial race in Alabama increases every day and the woods seem to be still full of them, One thing is very evident at the outset. The citizen who secures the nomination from the democratic convention for this coveted position will have no walk over.

TWO YEARS ENOUGH

From the Selma Times.
 The Times would like for the constitu- uonal convention to fix the term of the gubernatorial office at one term of two years. This way of giving man a second term as an indorsement of his administra- tion should have stop put to it. We need more ex-governors.

General Zurlinden, military governor of Paris, is the real master of the French situation. He could change the govern ment in an hours time without shedding a drop of blood. He would shed a little ink, and troops would straightway take pos session of the public buildings, and the old government would be declared a failure.

tion, before they witness the coming of the much vaunted twentieth century. This will of course, be hard to do, but the dis cipline of the trial will be its best reward The nineteenth is now considered a ten- tative century for the fruitive twentieth. As matter of fact. or rather of prophecy, the chances are that the twentieth will be as full of barren efforts as of pay dirt and that it will but serve as a prelude to the still more glorious twenty-first.
 The nineteenth century has, after all been a pretty good century-one of pretty steady improvement in nearly every part of the world; but it's closing quarter lacked two such world-moving, sou-stirring events as it's predecessor had in the Amer ican revolution and the equally important and valuable French revolution. The last quarter of the nineteenth century would, in fact, have been very tame quarter had not. Uncle Sam awoke to the timeliness of ending the colonial system of Spain in this hemisphere, taking over at the same time an annex in another hemisphere

THE MISSION OF AMERICA

beautiful Porto Rico and the l. and
gems of the sea are seeds, whose
glorious fruitage and rich blossoms
will be a grander and completer
fulfllment Of Americas great mis-
sion. Every pain endured, every
agony sustained, are stones in this
fair temple we are erecting. Every
vacant fireside, every aching heart
are pillars in this cathedral of God.
"The tears that glisten on the
cheek as we think of those who
went and never returned are chrys-
tails through which we see more
clearly the nation that is to be,
because of this sacrifice. Every
soldier who has come back perhaps
with enduring wounds, may be
with shattered health, may lift his
head with pride as he remembers
that his patriotism and fidelity has
been a stepping stone on which this
nation will mount to higher things.
On the eternal scroll of the nations
heroes your names will be inscribed.
But greater than all in the hearts
and homes OF the people OF this
your town you will ever abide and
your brave deeds told to those who
shall come after us.
1t is for us who are here today to
pledge ourselves to carry on in our
pla ,e and way, the work which has
begun for the world wide establish
men. of Americas mission. Ma
poleon drew up his soldiers before
the Marmadukes, under the shadow
OF the pyramids; pointing at them
he turned to his army and said:
"From yonder height forty centuries
look down upon you" That is the
lesson for US. From the pyramid
summit of our magnificent oppor-
tunities we look down on forty CEN
turtles. We look with hope and
confidence. For the genius of
America burns with brighter
luster today than ever. Her mission
is comprehended as it never was
before. We are proud of her his
tory, thankful for her traditions,
jubilant that sacrificing lives have
never been wanting in her behalf
We render our homage to the noble
men whose names are emblazoned
on her banners of victory. Our
hearts kindle with pride for the
magnificent men who at her behest
have given her their lives.
For the blessings of liberty, for
the gift of spiritual faith and for
the proclamation of a world wide
brotherhood we chant to her our
re Deum of praise, and thanksgiv-
ing. Here in this quiet hour we
pledge to her more devoted and
self sacrificing life of patriotic SER
vice. Upon her altar we lay our
selves as living sacrifices, knowing
that while some may die for her,
all may live for her in the life of
more devoted patriotism and ear
nestness. Because of what America
means to US and to all the world
we also say:
"Thou too. sail on, o ship of state;
Sail on 0 union strong and great:
humanity, with all its fears,
With all its hopes Of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate;
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs of steel
Who made each mast and sail and rope,
What anyils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Where shaped the anchors of thy hope {:
Fear hot each sudden sound and shock
It's of the wave and not the rock
Tis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale;

Arrested.

Officers Hollis and Hardy arrested on
Tuesday colored man who has been flu
gitive from the Hagerstown officials since
last July. His name is Thomas Pendle-
ton and he is wanted for a robbery in
Hagerstown. When the robbery oc-
Cured the Washington county officials
sent word to the officers here to keep a
lookout for him, as he frequently visited
this place.
The officers got on his track Tuesday
and in the evening Officers Hollis and
Hardy captured him just as he was taking
a drink in saloon. He was pretty
drunk at the time and strenuously pleaded
his innocense. The officers were sure of
their man, however, and placed him in
jail
Officer Hollis arrestedWednesday even
ing two tramps who were cumming
around the streets and begging money
for the past week or two One had a
crippled hand and the other had his right
arm cut off at the shoulder. They were
taken before Justice Byers and as no
charge could be brought against them
obey were released. These two hobos
have been imposing upon the people Of
the town for some time and now that
they know the officers are onto them they
will probably leave. They would hang
around on the streets and knock at back
doors and by showing their crippled con-
dition would get considerable money.

West Virginia University.

The West Virginia University has
adopted two or three new features, a state
ment of which will be oil interest to edu-
Gators generally.
First, only the degree of bachelor Il
arts will be conferred hereafter for aca-
demic work. Hitherto the degrees OF Il.
s., Phi. B. and b. L. have been conferred.
From now on all academic courses,
whether they contain the classical Ian
guages or not, will lead to A. b. OF
course, the usual technical and profess
Ional degrees in the Engineering College,
the Law College, etc, will continue to be
given.
Second, the elective system in its full
extent has been adopted.
Third, a department of domestic science
is 70 be opened October /, under the d.
rection of Miss Hannah B. Clark, an A..
b. of Smith College and Phi. ID. of the
University of Chicago. This department
is to be thoroughly equipped and is to be
scientific as well as practical Cooking,
housekeeping and housekeeping in all Of
its branches will be taught.
Fourth the, continuous session plan,
which was adopted two years ago when
President RAYMOND first took control of
the University. has proveda great success.
The present summer quarter is just clos
ing, with an attendance of $50 students
from IA different States The first sum-
mer there were 1888 students. The Uni
versity has four terms instead of three
and the summer quarter is part of the
regular University year, all departments
being in full operation.
A few years ago the University had
only 20 or IS professors and not more
than $50 students. Now it has 65 pro-
fessors and instructors. and last year there
were SIS students. This year the num-
Der will doubtless reach 1000. Three
handsome new buildings library, an
armory and a mechanic arts building
are 10 be added at once to the half dozen
now in use.

Reward of Merit.

The B. & 0. has posted bulletin to the
effect that a certain brakeman has been
given months extra pay for the follow
ing good deed. A short time ago train
on the third division derailed several cars
and this brakeman did not wait to. see
what was the matter but went to flag train
known to be due in the opposite direction.
The resuslt was he prevented a serious
wreck. AT the time his own train stopped
very suddenly and he had sense enough
to know that something was very wrong.
The company heard of his good judgment
and made him present Of the months
extra pay. A bulletin was posted in order
that other employees might profit by
similar experience.
