EUTuRE oF THE pRILIpPINEs.

What shall we do with the Philip
pines? This is the way Senator Frye
answered the question at the dinner
rendered him in New York:
We will hold them as our own, for
the good of the peoples who inhabit
them, and for the immense advantage,
commercially, they promise us. We will
give them good government, relief
from burdensome taxation, ample Sc
curity in all their civil and religious
rights. We will build highways, con-
struct railroads, erect school houses
and churches. We will allow them to
participate in government so far and so
fast as we may find them capable. We
will give employment to labor and
good wages to the laborer.
We will arouse in them an ambition
to become good citizens, competent to
manage their own local affairs and in
terests. We will make it possible for
them some time in the future, to form
a stable republican government, ca
pable of making treaties, enforcing
their rights under them, and observing
their obligations.
Then, we alone being the judges of
their competency, will surrender to
them the sovereignty, reserving to our
selves the naval and coaling stations
necessary for our commerce and it's
protection.
Senator Frye was one of the commits
sioners who negotiated the Spanish
treaty, and he is supposed to enjoy the
full confidence of the administration,
but he was idealizing and speak
ing solely for himself when he
made this speech. He was looking a
long way ahead. 1t is a pretty piece of
idealism, this educating and training
of assorted tribes of half-civilized or
savage Asiatics in the duties of oc-
cidental citizenship, and finally mold
ing them into a homogeneous nation
capable of lf-government and able to
maintain international relations.
An experience of some centuries has
taught the white man to believe that
whatever is done for the extension of
commerce and civilization he must do
himself and to expect precious little
help from the black, red, yellow or
brown men. There has been but one
notable exception to this rule Japan
has thrown off the shackles of orient
alism, embraced the principles of wes-
tern civilization and accomplished
wonders. Inspired by this exam
pie, Siam seems on the point
of making similar expert
ment. Japan had the immense ad-
vantage Of homogeneous population
to start with, and Siam is also FORUM
ate in this resnect
So far as the character and accom-
plishments Of the people are concerned,
the Filipinos and the Spanish half
breeds are heavily discounted in any
comparison with the Japanese, and the
other natives are hopelessly barbaric.
Yet the ruling classes in the islands
are not without ambition, education,
thrift, and perhaps other qualities that
go to make good citizens, and upon
these few, this fringe of civilization
rest such hopes as are entertained of
developing the mass Of Filipinos into
a self-governing people.

The correspondence that has passed
between Gov. Woleott and Harry F.
Adams, the Boston bank teller, who has
just been appointed to succeed Gen. A.
P. Martin as police commissioner, hints
at reforms that will make liquor SELL
ers rather uncomfortable. Aside from
the questions of higher license fees, of
crowding saloons into the poorer dis
tricts of the city and of licensing GER
tain questionable hotels, an issue seems
TO have been raised as to the actual
number Of licenses to be granted. 1t
is the number of places licensed rather
than the number of licenses granted
that corresponds to the ratio of one to
every 500 of population, for the num-
Der of licenses granted largely exceeds
that proportion. This is point of
some significance and there are argu-
ments pro and con. But of the prac-
tice of loading down the poorer sec
tions of the city with liquor saloons,
While the more prosperous sections of
the city escape the infiiction entirely,
there is little to be said in defence. Is
Boston in for a new and turbulent sea-
son of reform in the administration of
the liquor laws?

difficulties, it seems to be agreed that
Gen. Lawton's effort is worthy of high
praise. He is hustler when on the
road and that is one Of the most es-
sential virtues of brigade or division
leader.
The habit of getting there on time
was sine qua non in Grants cam
paigns, and officers who lacked the en-
ergy or knack of getting there were
promptly relegated by him to unim-
portant positions as soon as he took
command of the armies. Lawton's
junction with the second column I'M
der Col. Summers at Norzagaray, f1f-
teen miles east of Calumpit, shows that
a portion of his campaign plan has
been completed, and now the country
awaits the news that he has got be-
hind Aguinaldo's main army, cut off
it's retreat southwark and prevented a
repetition of the escape from Malolos.
That is the crux Of the enterprise.
The obstacles in the way of accom-
plishing this result have been well

to the natural difficulties of the coun-
try, there has been excessive heat, the
Thermometer ranging as high as "a,
while heavy rains have soaked the
ground like a marsh. Transportation
has been lacking, beasts of burden have
broken down and died. and the soldiers
have been compelled to drag the wa
CONS through the mire. Seldom has an
army been called upon to perform such
an arduous march. OF all the civil
lied nations, only the English have had
experience comparable to that Of our
soldiers under Lawton, and the Lon
don press has not been niggardly in
bestowing its praise.

Mr.. Parker is one of the most orig
inal and clever designers in the city,
and his success thus far has been phe-
nomenal. He made the design for
menu cover at a recent banquet of
high school organization, and this has
won wide attention by its brilliant
character.
Mr.. Parker graduates at the high
school this spring, and at the compile
ton of his course here will devote him
self to art work in the best schools OF
New York or Boston. His work has
won him enviable prestige, and Supt.
Stone has spoken in the highest terms
of his brilliant efforts.

so much at heart, the Mothers Con-

forenoon, but expects TO return for The
annual tea of the Mt. Holyoke Alumuae
Association this spring. She is particu-

studied there herself, leaving, but not
graduating, in 1875 Saturday after
noon she addresses the Mothers Club
of the Middlesex Woman's Club of Low

reception is to be rendered her some
time after May 10 by the Mothers Club
OF New York city and in Philadelphia
they are planning a public meeting and
another huge reception. The Mothers
Congress is only now being organized
in definite form, and Mrs. Birney is
most anxious that New England should
become affiliated. Before returning to
Washington, she will appoint state or
ganizers. New England women have so
much, she says, they may be indiffer-
ent to the inestimable value the
Mothers Congress would be to women
in other parts Of the country.

miles through the jungle and over
rough hills and across a hostile coun-
try from. Novaliches westward. to head
off Aguinaldo's army and stop its re-
treat from the approaching brigades of
MacArthur's division, is described as
one of the great achievements Of the
war. The dispatches do not tell pre-
clsely what has been accomplished by
this maneuvre, and it remains to be
seen whether the Filipinos have really
been caught as between the upper and

"You must keep the straight Presby-
terrain hat on, said the strict DR.. Pat
ton" That ministers of other denom-
nations are like minded is shown by
the objections made to Bishop Potters
ordination of Prof. Charles A. Briggs
as a priest of the Episcopal Church.
Even the rector of the church where
the ceremony was to be performed in
sists that DR.. Briggs must be purged
Of his heresy, and asks, why in Gods
name does such as DR.. Briggs want to
come into our communion?"

Hugh Bonner, the New York fire
chief, has resigned and will immediate
ly organize a school for the education
of professional firemen. He says he
has not been forced out of office, but
admits that he has been "nagged." That
is, he has had to fight for his place
and is tired of the struggle. Some idea
of the public confidence reposed in MIN
may be had from the failurezof the at
tempt at Albany to legislate him out
of office.

Admiral Kautz should muzzle his
over-zealous friends. The betrayal of
his confidence by the publication of
private correspondence does not seem
likely to be a serious matter, but if the
admiral suffers any personal incon-
venience from this indiscretion, he will
not be the first naval officer to be in
jured by unwise and superserviceable
friends.
