Cuba and the PhiiiDDiues

Mr.. Bryan in his speech at Columbus,
Ohio, lasl night said this
Let Us give TO the Filipinos the same
assurance of independence that we have
given to the Cubans. Let us assure them
of our intention of establishing a stable
government. which, when established will
b. their government, not ours. Let us
assure them that We shall stand by them
ike an elder brother. and say to other ma
tons Hands OFF, Let this republic work
out its destiny.
But MIR. Bryan must admit that no assur-
ance Of any kind can be given the F'iIipinos
until they lay down their arms Shall Cen
Otis. or anybody else. go 10 Aguinaldo hat
IN hand and request him to stop fighting
upon a promise that. if he will. good things
shall be his? Who has the authority to
determine the future Of the Filipinos? Not
the President. He can only assert Ameri-
can supremacy in the archipelago and that
he is bound to do under his oath of office
X Is for Congress To say what the form of
government for the Philippines shall be.
and Congress has yet 10 take up the sub
ject And. before saying. Congress will

Admiral Dewey is everywhere quoted by
the enemies of the administration as the
eulogist of the F'ilipinos They give him
as authority for their assertion that the
Filipnps are superior to the Cubans In
the May number of McCIure's Magazine
appeared article entitled Stories of
Admiral Dewey, by Oscar King Davis
Mi Davis is newspaper correspondent
and has spent Il long time at Manila. Said
Mr. Davis on the subject in question:
The admiral has a peculiar trick of
thinking out loud. and sometimes when he
Is p"ndering some subject he will argue
with any man whom chance sends along
On SUCH occasions he will advance as his
Ct'intt- conclusion whatever side of the
question happens to be uppermost in his
mtnd. and stand ready To defend il with
considerable warmth. On the morning of
nv first interview with him in Manila bay
hr spent several minutes demonstra ting to
IN" that Tho FiliDiuos were forty times
more capable Of governing themselves than
the Cubahs- In less than week he gave
~ an argument upon exactly the opposite
side. ignoring the first talk as completely
as II II mad never occurred Each time his
assertions We're Of the most positive char
acter. and tha apparent contradiction puz-
zied me greatly until ! came to understand
better his mental attitude. Finally he
reathrd thr conclusion about the Filpinos
which ~ the world now knows and in
stantly his course of action was shaned to
conform TO his belief
Congress must decide this matter upon
other grounds than mere sympathy or COM
parison- Simply because Aguinaldo and
his friends are clamOring for what they call
liberty is no reason why the United States
should grant their request. 1t must take
into consideration their characteristics and
capacity and environment: and on that
score Admiral Dewey's revised Judgment.

the Filipinos. is a safer guide than Mr.
Bryan's banquet table deliverances.

The men who killed Gen. Luna at Agui-
naldo's headquarters have been acquitted
after a trial on the showing that they acted
in self-defense, and that Gen. Luna was in
conspiracy against Aguinaldo. No other re-
suit was to have been expected of any at
tempt by Aguinaldo's so-called government
to deal with the assassination in judicial
manner. The reported circumstances of the
killing all tended to show that there was
more than mere casual brawl between
the officers and the guards, and that there
was bitter fractional feeling between them.
1t Is altogether believable that Luna aspired
to set himfslf up as dictator In place of
Aguinaldo- The latter had set the example
by usurping that power after declaring for

The Triumph of Track Elevation.

FROM the Chl.ag0 Times herald.
The splendid work that has been done by
the Northwestern railroad in the matter
of track elevation contains a suggestive
hint as to the future as well as a summary
of things accomplished 1t is made clear
that as the company has passed from track
to track in the fulfillment of it's great de-
sign 1t has discovered that it's own Interests
have been advanced no less than those of
the public
If the latter has profited immensely by
the removal of an annoying obstruction to
the traffic of many streets and by the elm
nation of the danger to life, which was
ever present in grade crossings the rail-
road has also been a gamer in several
ways 1t is able to make faster runs as
the remarkable Encouragement of it's time
tables shows, and to put more trains
These are changes that will contribute
both to the increase of its business and to
the comfort and convenience of its patrons
1t is relieved of the constant menace and
heavy tax of damage suits and awards
and of the cost of guarding the crossings
1t Is thoroughly protected against tres
decreased expenditures will justify the
enormous outlay of 100000 on strict
business principles.
We may assume also that the company
counts with Its advantages the satisfaction
l. must feel on moral grounds over the
diminution in risks to life and limb No
matter how blameieSs 1t may have been in
any particular case its officials must have
which brought poignant grief and lasting
sorrow to individuals and families They
nave removed source of disquietude to-
themselves that had something other than
financial origin, and in so doing have es-
tablished claim upon the good will of the
people which also has it's value. The pub
lie will have a friendlier feeling for the
road than 1t has ever had before.
All these considerations taken together
indicate that what we have witnessed here
In Chicago is but the beginning of a gen.
eral movement for the abolition of grade
crossings. There will be track elevation
extensions outward from this city, and the
example will have Its influence upon every
city in the United States If 1t is too much
to expect that smaller towns and villages
and the rural districts will enjoy the same
relief in the near future, we may be sure,
nevertheless, that the old spirit of resist
aHce among the railroads will be greatly
modified In all localities. The principle has
won, and President Hughitt deserves to be
congratulated as one Of the pioneers in
grand scheme of reform.

WaShipgtOn's Big Bank Account,

A communitys bank statement is an I'M
failing index of its state of prosperity The
District has been making steady showing
of advancement in this respect for several
years past, but the latest announcement of
the condition of the local banks. published
than usual of the financial development
of the capital city. 1t is disclosed that in
less than three months the aggregate re-
sources and liabilities of the local banks
increased over a million dollars, of which
over 100000 was in the form of increased
individual deposits and that these deposits
in the past year have increased over four
million dollars The banks have reached a
record of assets never before attained in
their history, while the loan and trust COM
panies, which are not yet included in the
official statement. have unquestionably
shown a corresponding advance in condi-
ton. Any city which can record an in
crease of - per cent in the individual de-
posts in bank in a year, as is shown for
the District in the publication today, is en-
titled TO the heart:est congratulations. The
best feature of this financial growth is that
1t is not spasmodic, but result of normal
conditions, coupled with the effect of the
conservatism and certainty which pertain
to Washingtons commercial and financial
enterprises even in the midst of serious
general depressions.

Cranes In the sonth.

Experiments, thus far satisfactory,
are being made by the United States
agricultural department. in the growing
of European table grapes In Florida
and North Carolina, In each of which
states stations have been established
for this purpose. The main idea Is to
introduce viticulture in Florida as
substitute for orange raising, which is
periodically ruined by frosts, says the
New York Post. 1t is conceded that
the European table grape is superior
to the best of the native grapes, and 1t
has limited market here at from 50
to S. a pound. These grapes sell in
London at from 80 cents to 81 pound,
and it Is expected that a home grown
crop could be sold at the London prices
or less. The grape will not mature in
the northern and eastern states. 1t has
been planted with success in Califor-
MIA, but the quality of the fruit will
not permit of it's transportation to the
eastern seaboard. The difficulties to
be overcome in Florida are the phyl-
loxera and mildew. The first has been
met by grating European cuttings on
to American roots. The mildew prob
lem is a more difficult one to solve.
This grape disease is due to excessive
dampness, and Florida has It's annual
rainy season. 1t is hoped, however,
that the fruit can be matured early
enough In the year to escape the rain
and thus avoid the diseases.

The Saginaw river in Michigan, is
is miles long, and on it's banks have
been produced 1S,000,OOO,0OO feet of
pine boards. The Titabawasse river
and its tributaries empty their waters
into the Saginaw, and these streams
alone have contributed 100000, 600
feet of pine logs to satisfy the appetite
of the sawmills on this river. The
production of lumber reached high
water mark In 1882, the output for
that year being 1,011 100000 feet. 1t
is now only little over 300000,0OO
feet annually. The first salt company
In the state was organized at Saginaw
In 1850, and the first years output was
1000 barrels. This was the begin
ming Of the salt industry of Michigan,
which now amounts to 100000 bar
rels annually. From 1860 to the close
of 1893 there have been produced in
Michigan 83O00,000 barrels Of salt The
Saginaw bituminous coal industry was
established three years ago, and there
are now nine coal mining companies in
operation, with a lifting capacity of
10000 tons daily.
