SAWYER SAW AN OPENING.

Ex-Senator Philetus Sawyer of Wis consin was not a base ball crank, but he was persuaded by few enthusiasts in Oshkosh that it was his duty as a citizen to help support the team. Ut would help advertise the town" they told him.
 And so Senator Sawyer became known as the principal packer of the Oshkosh base ball team.
 The senator did not know a thing about the game. Consequently he did not appreciate all the fine points when he attended a contest one day, at the request of the manager, between Osh- kosh and Milwaukee
 Senator Sawyer sat up in the best box seat in the grandstand and solemn ly watched the game He saw the club he was backing put up one of the most miserable exhibitions of ball ever played on any diamond by a profes- sional team. The Milwaukee players pounded the sphere over the lot and kept running the bases until they were stopped by darkness
 When the agony was over and the crowds were going home with disgust written on all their faces, the clubs packer called the manager over to him.
 Say, MT. Fisher" he said, T don't know anything about this game and 1 leave all matters of management to your judgment. but it seems to me that the team would get along better if we had few more men out in the field"

CHEAP ELECTRICITY.

The city Of Leeds, England, with a works and sells it's gas for 50 cents pel 1000 cubic feet. It was supposed that at this rate it would be impossible for the electric lights to compete with gas, but capitalists decided in 1890 to make the attempt. The financial outlook was so poor, apparently, that the city government refused to make any at tempt to stop the new company's eff forts to compete with their own works, the capitalists went ahead under franchise by the terms of which the city of Leeds could purchase the cleo tric plant at any period prior to 1901 by the issue to it's owners of Leeds mu- nicipal stock that would produce div idend of per cent psr annum upon the sum expended by the company and chargeable to capital account.
 The new works were opened in July, 1893, with the subsequent result that the profit on the working capital was 7 per cent in 1895; II F per cent in 1896 and 10 per cent in 1897. The capital was S800,000 the last year. This suc- cess induced the city of Leeds to exer- else it's right of purchase of the electric plant and pay for it with 5 per cent stock. As this stock sells at a pre-. mium of 100 per cent, the stockholders in the electric company receive a pre- mium of 100 per cent upon their invest ment of a few years, besides their divi- Gends, and the city obtains plant from which electric lights can be furnished at rates considered impossible a few years ago.

AN EXAMPLE FOR ANTI-EXPAN-
 SIONISTS.


 General Castillo, the Cuban soldier, recently stated that the city of Santi- ago has made greater progress since it's surrender than it has during the fifty years preceding. This statement is the result of the. observations made by him, of the work which the United States government has performed through it's representative, General Wood. The streets have been thor oughly cleaned for the first time in the history of the place, miles of pavement have been laid with asphalt and con- crete, a network of sewers now runs through the city and an aqueduct has recently been constructed. In all re- Spects Santiago shows wonderful inn provement.
 Had the government of that city been handed over immediately after the sur render to the natives, it is extremely

"SPANISH-AMERICAN."

The New York Sun, which has held undisputed rule as authority in mat ters literary for many a day, settles the correct name of the late war be- tween Spain and the United States, and gives the reason for it's dictum. The conflict passes into history, the Sun says, as the Spanish-American war" The authority says that this matter of naming wars seems to follow a set rule. In almost every acse "the designation of a war by a certain pop ularly accepted name shows at once the victor and the vanquished, and that in such cases the first name, if two be given, or the one name, if there be only one, is the name of the con- quered nation There are the Fran co-Prussian," the "Napoleonic wars '' the "Crimean war" the "Austro-PEus- sian wal" the "China-Japan war; the "Greco-Turkish war" and many oth- CTS. So, doubtless, following this law, Americans, at least, will call the re- cent struggle the Spanish-American war, always putting the conquered na- tion first.

LIBERTY AND GOVERNMENT.

One of the arguments upon which the opponents of expansion count most confidently is that this free republic cannot refuse to allow liberty to the people Of the Philippines And in that they will have no opposition.
 Wherever the American flag goes, there is liberty. The Filipino, who has never known heretofore what freedom means, will know it now. He can stand up as man and look the world in the face. He can work for whom he will. and if he does not like his wages he can strike. He can hold meetings and discuss his grievances; he can educate his childen as he thinks best; he can go to church or not, as he pleases; he can speak his mind with out fear Of prison or the garrote
 That is liberty But what our anti expansionists mean when they speak of liberty is something quite different. They mean power. They mean that unless the Filipinos have unchecked authority to run their government as they please, even if they run it to smash, they are not free.
 If it is the substance and not the name of liberty that we are seeking for the Filipinos we must establish and maintain American supremacy ONeT IuS lSlduuS, at lGdSl unClI the peO- pie have been sufficiently trained to enter upon the experiment of self gov ernment with fair chance of success. Without that kindly guidance at the start personal liberty will be lost in alternations of anarchy and despotism.
 Liberty, order and civilization-that is what American rule means from the start, and where these things prevail self government will follow in due time.-NeW York Journal

doubtful whether these improvements
 would have been made, and whether the city would have developed so won derfully in such a short time. Follow ing such an event. it is more than prob- able that the Cubans would have been torn by domestic strife, and utterly un- able to carry out the improvements which the health of the community and it's prosperity absolutely demanded. 1 The experience would have been lack ing, and more than that, the strong hand of authority would not have been l in evidence. Even those Cubans, who are most radical in their demand for an independent government, readily admie that General Wood has accomplished wonders. The people of Santiago unite in his unstinted praise.
 Yet, despite this example offered us those who are opposed to the United States control of the Philippines will not profit by it. They demand that we should immediately give those islands an independent government, although in the light of experience such step would be the evidence Of ignorance on the part of this government. While winning the confidence of the people of Santiago and developing the improve ments as planned, General Wood did not lead the people to believe that the United States control was to be per manent. neither did he urge the Cubans to hastily establish an independent government. United States control in the Philippines will accomplish the same results if the professional poli- tician is barred, and men of real merit, such as General Wood, are selected to take charge of the work at different points of our newly acquired territory It should be an easy matter to have the FfEpinos impressed with the fact that the United States is working for their good, and that in due time if they can show themselves as fit and proper, they too. will be given an independent gov ernment as soon as this country de- cides that such a step is feasible. American vigor and tsatesmanship will do for the new possessions what Spain has never yet been able to do in her whole history.-St Joseph Herald.

WHERE THE FLAG SHOULD FLY.

The saloon of a steamer of the only line sailing from any Atlantic port of the United States to any European port under the American flag was the most appropriate meeting place for an assemblage of representative American citizens to urge upon their fellow coun- trymen the support of such measures as shall restore to the American marine it's once proud position. Such meet ing was recently held by the passengers on the great liner St Paul. It included clergymen, lawyers and jurists, and many men of affairs, who passed reso- lutions of the strongest kind that both national interest and national pride de- mand the hundreds of millions yearly paid by the people of the United States to foreign ship owners shall be paid to our own vessels, built and navigated by our own citizens. This meeting ap pointed "a committee to memorialize congress in the matter, and with poetic propriety the first popular movement for restoration of our merchant ma rine came from the mighty deep, in whose commerce, be it said to our na- tional shame, we have fallen to so low an estate. The carrying trade of the United States now conducted by for eign sailors and credited to foreign bot toms is estimated at $1 500, 100000, and that credited to American bottoms at $190, ,0O0, ,00O In 1860 the trade of American bottoms was estimated at $507, ,757, and foreign bottoms at $225, ,040, ,793, but since then there has been q steady and uninterrupted de- cline of American bottoms and cor responding increase of foreign bottoms.
 It is incontroveTtible that the revival of American shipping would be of vast benefit to the nation. The vast drain of money from this country every year, as shown by these figures, appears to be little considered by our national legis- lators who permit the drain to con tinue from year to year which has in the past been one of the most potent factors in keeping this a debtor nation. Foreign powers must marvel at the indifference we have shown toward our marine interests. Reasonable sub sidy-the application of prctection- would soon raise the starry flag all over the oceans of the world, and make us, at least in marine commerce, mistress of the seas.

GOOD BOOKKEEPING.

Fascinating Payne Moore, who is about to be tried again on a charge of alleged complicity in a New York badger game, may be saved by a unique sys- tenn of bookkeeping. It is now claimed that Mrs Moore has kept q diary, sort of a journal entry, and it is hinted that the name of an emil nent jurist, coupled with $20,000 cheek, may become public property un- less the New York authorities decide to call off the dogs Good bookkeeping, coupled with virtue, is always it's own reward.

The sewer company now is willing to lease or sell. Prior to the bond elec- tion we heard nothing of a disposition on the part of the company to part with it's property. Possibly the city council did not make inquiries in that direc- t1on. The company's proposition shows that the leaven created by the recent movement is working satisfac- torily.
