 The change of road at the Potrero, whereby the dangerous way so close to the railway track is avoided, has been completed and is DDw open to travel. The change has long been au urgent necessity, and those having tu use the road now feel much safer iu dOrg so.
 Development of the Washington Camp and Duquesne country, which is going forward rapidly, will add at least one thousand to the population of Santa Cruz county within the next two years; and the trade of the region will soon aggregate S20,0O0 to S50,000 monthly. The Washington pass road will bring all that trade to Nugales The board of super visOrs should move to construct the road at once.
 Of Mir Atkinson's resignation the Citizen says Supervisor George W. Atkinson, of Santa Cruz county, has rendered his resignation, aud it is un- deIstood that the vacancy will be filled by the appointment os H. H. Brown MT. Atkinson has served as supervisor in Pima county, and made most excellent officer. Santa Cruz would have done well to have kept Mir. Atkinson identified with the county's interests, as prominent cat tleman is in position to know what is needed"
 Another complication comes from Crittenden precinct over the consta bIeship. There is on file with the board of supervisors what purpOrts to be the resignation of Carlos l.. Smith, who was elected in Nuvemb,r last and qualified. With the same peti- tion was filed for the appointment Of "A. L. White to ill the vacancy. Rut Smith writes the board that he has not resigned, and White is acting without authority and shutting out the rightfal incumbent The board put the matter over for further con- sfderation.
 All the cattle in the "83r brand, and another brand belonging to the Santa Rita Cattle Co.,, it is credibly reported, are being gathered to ship out of the country, and cars were or dered for the first shipment from Gala basas yesterday. It is yariOusly es- timated that the number win aggre- gate from 2.0O0 to 5000 head. It would be a good idea to collect the taxes on these cattle before they get away. The amount of money would be from $500 to s9OO, and, at this time, would be very welcome in the treas nry of Santa Cruz county.
 At the meeting of the board Of supervisors, Thursday of last week, a kick was registered from Criitenden that the justice of the peace and constable in that precinct are piling up costs to the county, in making ar rests and sentencing delinquents to the county jail in trivial cases. There are reported now in jail no less than six prisoners from that precinct serv. ing terms for petty offences, which l should have been overlooked.

Among the speakers al the anu-imperaI-
list meeting in Chicago yesterday was
Bishop Spalding of Peoria. one of the pick
ed orators and writer's OF the Roman Catho-
lie Church in America. He took extreme
ground in condemnation of the administra-
TONS policy IN the Philippines, and sub
scribed to the resolutions adopted by the
meeting. Those resolutions demand abso-
lutte independence for the Filipinos and the
withdrawal OF the United States from the
field.
This is a strange deliverance for prelate
of that communion, as one of the services
the United States Is performing in the
Philippines is the protecting of the Roman
Catholic Church from determination there.
If the Fflipiuos were permitted to have
their own way at this time they would
drive the Spanish priests and friars out OF
the country and conflscate every dollars
worth of church property Their principal
fury has been directed at these men They
have maltreated when getting them into
their power the Spanish priests even more
than they have the Spanish soldiers. The
most horrible stories of torture and perse-
cution which came to American ears upon
American occupation of Manila were those
of priests and friars who had fallen under
Filipino displeasure.
Suppose, then, the United States were to
withdraw from the archipelago, taking
only the assurances of such men as Agui-
naldo as security for law and order Sup
pose when left to their own devices and
with an unrestrained hand the Filpinos
should butcher the priests and proclaim
ownership of all church possessions. Upon
whom would the responsibility be laid ?
The Filipinos, who beforehand had dis
guised none of their hatred of the Roman
church and its representatives? Or the
American people, who. knowing the exist
ence OF that hatred. had yet withdrawn
their strong arm and given the Filipinos
free play?
The United States is the champion of no
particular interests in the Philippines. but

An English View,
From the London Chronicle.

More than once We have suggested that
the time was approaching when Aguinado
and his party among the Filipinos-fOr
there are a dozen different parties. of whom
his followers are the most hOstile-must
see that it is better to make good terms
with the Americans for large share of
home rule. which Gen. Otis proclamation
offered. than to fight out a campaign which
can only result in considerable depopula-
ton of LuzOn, If not of the adjacent islands
There are signs that negotiations to this
effect are near at hand. But then it must
be understood that the United States pro-
tectorate is not a meaningless expression
and that It will protect the liberties of the
natives VINO do not accept Aguinaldo as
their representative merely because his ad-
herentS represent g. slight shade of supe-
riority in civilization. The inhabitants Of
the Philippines will need for long time to
be protected against each other Subject
to that sovereign duty, we do not see why
the peace commission and Aguinaldo should
not come to en- honorable and permanent
understanding. And we look for it before
the rains are over But when they are
over, whether there be peace or further
fighting, the troops kept in the Philippines
must be resulars. enlisted for general SER
vice. and not volunteers, engaged for par
ticular work, and kept against their will to
do something quite different.

If Quay, Then Dan Burns"


FROM the fAIladtlphla Press.
If Colonel Daniel NJ. Burns or. as he is
more Familiarity known. Dan" Burns, APP
pears at the doors Of the United States Sen
ate with a certificate of appointment as
senator from the governor of California
the supporters of admitting senators on
such certificates will have their faith put to
a pretty severe test. Mr.. Burns has a rep
utation in California which is sure to be
presented to the Senate argument
against his admission to a seat in that
body. He was clerk of Zolo county two
terms and accused of enbezZling the
public funds, but was not prosecuted as it
was claimed his friends made good the
shortage. AfterWard when secretary of
state, the charge of embezzling the state
funds was made against Burns, and when
an investigation was made Burns accused
his deputy of the crime and the deputy &C
Cused Burns. Between the two the investi-
CATION came to nothing. The United States
Senate, however, might care to look into
these charges. 1t IS true that Roach of
North Dakota was tolerated for six years
but he elected by the Legislature and
his party stood by him. The republicans
IN the Senate may feel like dealing differ
emily with Dan" Burns. But if they admit
Quay they cannot refuse Burns.

amount in conducting campaign Of pacif1-
cation and losing lives in the effort, would
relinquish the possession. He had heard,
to be sure, from the United States, that
there was a sentiment there in favor of
withdrawal But he had learned, too, that
it was not altogether safe to trust to the
accounts Of mass meetings in Boston as a
sample of the national feeling
And 50 the leader began to advance the
small end of the peace wedge. Thus far the
negotiations have wrought no results But
the great fact of the initiative has been
established and the end cannot be long de-
layed. The conditions which have just
forced Aguinaldo to talk about peace will
not diminish. The Presidents agents will
continue even more confidently and effect
lively to spread the word of good govern
ment among the people. The savages in
the north Will most likely proceed with
their raids, especially if Aguinaldo weak ens
in his hold upon his forces. The American
soldiers will fight the harder in view of his
confessed predicament. The war is assum-
ing very favorable aspect from the Amer
lean point of view.

The Emperor Sees the Joke

Those German-Americans who have al
lowed themselves to become 50 vehement
on the subject of Capt. Coghan's indiscre
ton will read with pain the dispatch from
Berlin which states that the German en-
peror himself was differently affected by
the episode The dispatch says:
While visiting at Wartburg the emperor
had full reports sent to him regarding both
matters, including copy of the satirical
ditty which Captain Coghlan sang at the
conclusion of his speech at the Union
League Club in New York, and which the
emperor read with great amusement
This is d sort of rebuke to those wild
eyed individuals in this country who have
been demanding Captain Coghlan's sword
and shoulder-straps as penalty for his
blunder. OF course he did blunder, and the
polite protest lodged by the German am
bassador was the right thing. Equally
proper too was the prompt and temperate
action of the administration in reply. But

sees the point, and appreciates the humor
of the affair. He is not half so sensitive
about the matter these professional poll
tiCians who are anxious to serve against the
President. And maybe these representative
gentlemen will consent now to allow the
kaiser to protect his own dignity. He
seems competent to do
The kaiser. by the way, for all he holds
his own people so strictly to the scratch,
understands the difference between Ger
many and America. One of the best stories
of him relates to conversation lie had
with the late William Walter Phelps while
the latter represented this country at Ber-
lin. Mir. Phelps was a highly accomplished
and agreeable man whom the kaiser liked
very much In informal talk on one oc-
casion. Mr. Phelps. responding to some of
the kaisers inquiries and encouraged by
his attention, spoke with much fervor and
eloquenCe Of republican institutions and
now confident and capable and seif-reying
men grew to be under them. The kaiser
listened and nodded. and then said: And
isn't it true. Mir. Phelps that some of the
most aggressive of these republicans are

in my country Mr.. Phelps, with a smile
acknowledged the corn, greatly to the kali
ser's enjoyment.

the affections. If the kaiser appreciates

You were hasty in your longing
To be over-civilized;
Your prospects you were wronging
With your methods ill-advsed.
Your primitive apparel
Rather handicaps your plan
To come forth and blandly carol
AS a naughty bunco man.
When your rustic ways have vanished
And you've known the world awhile;
When your feather clothes you've banished
And you wear the latest style,
Your crudities distressful
Silent pity will not claim
And you may be more successful
When you try a gold-brick game.

This is plain treason. and the effect will
be possibly to prolOng the war, to delay a

penses of the government, to put more
American soldiers in their graves, but no.
body is fatuous enough to believe that the
American soldier will mutny or that the
campaign will be abandoned. The effect of
Mr.. Atkinson's work is simply to discredir
