THE late Gen. Spinner, who was
treasurer of the United States for many
years under Abraham Lincoln and
who was the first to give women en-
ployment in the service of the federal
government, is to have statue erected
to his memory. The statue will be OF
bronze and of heroic size. A bill was
favorably reported to congress, au'
thorizing the erection of the statue
in some suitable place in Washington
other than the capitol or library
grounds. 1t will be probably the first
public statue ever erected by women
to the memory and honor of man.

THE Dismal Swamp canal, which
has been closed to traffic since the
civil war, has been reconstructed and
will be ready for navigation March 10,
the Philadelphia Times says. No
canal on the continent has so old a
charter as that emitting the Dismal
Swamp canal to the privileges of a
public transport. 1t dates back to
1887, when investors from Virginia and
North Carolina, among them George
Washington, said to be director of
the company organized for the purpose
of connecting the Chesapeake bay with
the sounds and rivers of North Caro-
lima.

ACCORDING to DR., H. Irving Disbrow,
lately surgeon in the United States
army, one of the results of the Span
ish evacuation of Porto Rico was that
the lepers on the island were allowed
TO go free and so far no effort has
since been made to segregate them.
This mingling of the lepers with the
more healthy native population carried
one serious danger to our soldiers.
Many of the native women took in the
army washing, and the possibility of
contagion, in case there was leper in
the household Of the native wash
erwoman, was serious in the ex-

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

Whatever may be said about the Philip
pine question in the abstract and our
policy toward the Filipnos, whatever diff
ference of opinion there may as to the
righteousness Of the little war I'm which
our forces and the Filipinos have been
engaged. there can be no two opinions
as to the gallantry and courage Of our
men who fought the battles. They were
in a strange land they were scorched
by a tropical sun, they were confronted
10y all sorts Of unseen dangers. They were
called upon to carry on battle with a
semi-barbarous tribe IN swamps and jun
giles, TO meet these FiiipinOs upon their
own ground and to engage IN desultory
warfare with which they were unac-
quainted. Yet their courage was never
daunted, they never lost heart, they
never relaxed their vigorous efforts 10
put down the rebellion-so-called. Theirs
not to question why; theirs not to quib-
BILE as to the righteousness Of the war;
theirs not to complain Of the vicissitudes
and hardships They were sent TO the
Philippine Islands to a certain thing,
and they did it nobly, and heroically and
successfully. There are no heroes OF the
war who deserve more praise than these
brave fellows OF the Philippine cam
paign.
But what are We going to do with our
victory now that we have achieved it2
While praising our own men We cannot
In justice fail 10 recognize the courage
and love OF liberty which have character
lied the Ffipinos also. They believed
that they were TO be deprived OF their

they determined to resist to the utmost.
They fought a good fight, and no man
can blame them. viewing the situation

who fought with him were fighting for
