American manhood.
1t is claimed that there are no OPP

the quality and seeks opportunities to
rise from the ranks can find them.
DECIDEDLY SERIOUS.
Los Ang Les Express: The condis ion Of
affairs in the Philippines is decidedly
serious. The backbone of the rebellion
is not only intact, but shows a strength
ening tendency that will undoubtedly
hurry up the administration in increas-
ing the army in the field. When the
filipdnos attack our soldiers, as they
did yesterday, it is time to give them
such a Lesson as will leave nodoubt in
their minds Of the power of the United
states Government We should profit
by the experience of Spain in the ISL
ands, and not make the same mistakes
which marked that country's colonial
policy.
Inc problem is a difficult one at best
Out we are in for it and must work ii
out. Sayages and semi-savages can
only be governed by force, which is
the only element they understand or
respect, and the Government must DEM
onsarate to them its power.

THE KREUGER- MILNER CONFER
ENCE.

The Kreuger- Miner consultation over
the relations between England and the
Transvaal has been held and has re-
suited in no agreement. The chle1 oi-
vision appears to be along the line OF
propositions relating to the admission
Of Uitlanders to Transvaal citizenship.
The Beers claim, and justly, that they
alone are to determine who may become
citizens of their free State, and that no
one but themselves should determine
the conditions of probation, and the
other terms upon which an alien may
become possessed of all the rights OF
citizenship in the Boer State.
To the outsider this would seem to
be a sound and perfectly reasonable
contention. But the English insist upon
milder conditions for admission to cltl-
zenship than the Beers are willing TO
grant. Dom Paul on his part is willing
to meet the English contention by rea-
sonable concessions, provided that the
British Government agrees that mere
after all disputes between the two Gov
ernments shall be submitted to arbl-
tration. To this perfectly fair propo-
sition the English reply that it is out
of the question, because such an agree
ment would be an admission of the
equality of the two countries.
What Of it? When they come to mat
tiers of issue why are they not equal to
the extent of that issue, and why should
not the Beers hold that in all matters
affecting them they are on equal foot
ing with England when. she makes
herself a party to the contention? 1t Is
possible however, that England may
yield the point of objection and agree to
the arbitration proviso. In that case
the way will be open to a speedy and
fair settlement Of all troubles between
the two countries.

The British colonies are about to send
us delegations of distinguished men to
chat friendly like with the Yankees"
as a contemporary states it, with a
view to negotiate reciprocity treaties
with US, but which. If effected, must re-
ceive the sanction Of the mother coun-
try. There was under the Harrison
Administration a satisfactory reciprocal
arrangement with these colonies, but
the Wilson tariff bill broke up the sys-
tenn, and it is now desired to revive
something of that order. The colonial
Representatives will be received, Of
course, and their request for concessions
be considered The chief of these will
relate to the duty upon flour and upon
sugar. In the matter of the last ar
ticle the West Indies British colonies
are badly pinched by the sugar trust.
Their only remedy is to induce the trust
to accord them a better price for their
raw sugar. or to prevail upon the
United States to lessen the tariff rate.
The question will be. can these colo
MES afford us compensation for conces-
sions asked, by reciprocal return upon
goods they import from the United
States?

The San Francisco press is very ur-
gent that the people Of the State gener-
ally shall aid the effort to raise S20,OOo
to supply honor medals for returning
volunteers. That is all right. Let the
honor medal business go on to success
But let San Francisco ask herself the
question why there is inaction in that
city in the matter Of raising fund to
insure her returning volunteers employ
rnent from and after the hour Uncle
Sam ceases to pay them S13 a month?
Not a single step has been taken in this
direction by the people of the metropo-
lis. though the only full regiment OF
California volunteers that went out to
the Philippines came from that city
What are these men to do when dis
charged? How many of them will be
taken back into their old places where
they were wage earners? How shall
honorable labor be secured for all those
who cannot regain their former wage
positions? These are the questions
which San Francisco should consider
while raising funds with which to pur-
chase medals Of honor to pin upon the
breast of uniforms worn by gallant SOL
diers, who mayhap will have to beg for
bread, for all the attention San Fran
cisco is giving to their future welfare.

1t is reported that Aguinaldo has dis
solved the nativs congress and declared
himself dictator. If not true it is what
may be expected presently. This man
has had that in view from the outset,
and of that there can be no doubt. AS
dictator he will be more easily conquer
ed than as President of a so-called re-
public. For the dictator must be tyran-
meal. He can do nothing except as a
despot. Among a people to whom he
has been preaching the blessings of lib
erty as he understands it, it is unlikely
that he will be- tolerated in the charac-
ter dictator must of necessity assume.

THE ARMY A SCHOOL.

Stockton Independent: Service i'm the

one term Of enlistment may not lead
to military or naval career, but it is
an education for an American youth
that is superior in many respects to
courses of education that consume
more time and costs much more money.
Two or three years service in the
regular army does not take so much of

persisted in wearing constantly as a
cravat pin.
He said .he wore the Mona diamond
FOR luck, but no one who knew him be-
leVed that the man had even one SUPER
stiition. 1t would have been worth the
while of any footpad' to engage profess
sional assistance just to get possession
OF the Mona diamond, and hundreds
OF persons connected with that profess
sion knew that Mr.. Marsden always
wore that stone in his cravat. 1t was
wonderful stone, not by any means as
large as pigeons egg, or even a SPAR
rows, 1t is true, only about the size Of
the point of a mans index finger, in
fact, but of luster so dazzling and so
peculiar that the jewelers. and lapida-
ries of Amsterdam, who still remember
1t from the days before it crossed the
Atlantic, say 1t is unmatched in all the
world.
And at last the warnings of John
Marsden's friends were justified. He
was walking on a dark, autumn night
along one of his favorite byways. with
row of blank, windowless brick walls
on his right, and on his left ditch and
rail fence, when there was a sudden
leap of something from the ditch, and q
hand few straight at his throat.
lnstantly-as If he had been expecting
10 meet the attack just at that SPOT
John Marsdens left fist darted out and
up, and there was a sound like the
word Chow" followed by another like
the fall of bale of hay on the earth.
Then he leaned forward cautiously, and
the next Sloment he was glad of his
caution. The man leaped to his feet al
most as soon, 1t seemed, as he had
touched the ground, and then, instead
of drawing knife or pistol, he went at
John in the most approved pugllistic
fashion.
Very likely, If the fight had been in a
twelve-foot ring, by daylight, begun In
regular form, the other man might have
won the Mona diamond-supposing II
to have been the prize. AS 1t was the

and, still worse, Marsden's very bony
fist had fitted itself snugly into the deli.
cate space between the triangle of the
lower jaw and the Adams apple. The
mere fact that his antagonist had recov-
cred himself so quickly after such a
blow assured Marsden that he had no
ordinary fighter to deal with. Still,
that first blow placed the other man at
a disadvantage, and the fisticuffs did
not last long. In less than two minutes
Marsden's assailant was back in the
ditch from which he had sprung, only
now he lay kicking convulsively and

A Witty Peasant.

A thunderstorm overlook the En-.

out shooting in 1873 with old Emperor
William Of Germany and Victor Eman-
uel. The three monarchs got separat-

They were drenched to the skin, and,
in search of shelter, hailed a peasant
driving a covered cart drawn by oxen
along the high road. The peasant took
up the royal trio and drove on.
"And what may you be, for you are
stranger in these parts?" he asked
after awhile Of Emperor William.

and then addressing Victor Emmanuel

the prompt reply.
"Ha, ha, very good indeed! And who
are you?" addressing Francis Joseph.

the latter.

and said with knowing wink, Every

Big Ben's Tone.

Whatever complaints may be made
against the tone of Big Ben, the famous
London clock, and musicians say it is
a terribly bad e." at any rate, every
one will acknowledge that the clock in
the House of Commons tower is won
derful timekeeper, not varying a second
in time all the year through. The
mechanism for setting in motion the
massive hammer which brings out the
tone Of Big Ben's siXteen-ton bell is
very interesting. The striking machin'
cry is driven by weights of about ton
and half, which hang on shaft III
feet deep; and it is so arranged that
after the chimes are over the hammer
falls on the big bell within one second
of Greenwich mean time.
