To the Editor of The Post.
| Lovelady Texas, August 16,-To the
Christian, the humanitarian, the patriot,
/ it is a most noisome experience to meet
face to face with an ignorant credulity or
wilfu moral perverseness competent TO
lend wings to that little sentiment we
hear spouted with such happy facility and
naive impunity. "A good hater makes a
good friend, or what amounts to the
same. Every man of merit has his ene-
ME, which is to say, do not avoid max
ing enemies" Every thoughtful youth has
stumbled over these so-called worldly
wise" maXims. What do they mean? Love
whom you please hate whom you please,
or less broadly. BE able to hate, II you
would love" 1t is a barbarous fallacy.
good hater is logically a good hater. Moth
ing more. A good friend Is friend for
ever. Common sense. reason, experience,
Christianity unite to enforce this truth
Ana yet men, knowing this TO be fall
lacy, lucidly cognizant OF the baneful ef-
feots. either carelessly or maliciously
scatter II to the winds and poison ram
pant. None will deny that the sentiment
comes to the inscriptions as sanitary
morsel, to the unknowing helpless as
law Of the Modes and Persians: Hate on,
you miserable wretch. who have no friend
To the central principle OF Christianity
between man and man. love, TINS senti-
ment opposes the memorable mandate,

flied hate TO the enemy sprung tnosc

the scourge of Layola. From the blghtng

This same dctum that is upheld by a GER

LONG TROLLEY LINE Projected
PENNSYLVANIA Considering One from
New York to Washington.

PENNSYLVANIA Considering One from
New York to Washington.
New York, August 20.-The Tribune
gives details Of the Pennsylvania railroad
company's project to construct a trolly
car line from New York to Washington.
The company already controls most Of the
trolley lines in Jersey City and Newark
and is negotiating for the purchase OF a
line from Newark to Elizabeth, already
in operation This line will be built to
Trenton, from Jersey City and will pass
through New Brunswick and Princeton.
While these plans are being executed
in New Jersey the same capitalists and
their agents have been busy along the
S3mile stretch in PENNSYLVANIA from
Philadelphia to South Trenton. This sec
ton is dotted with flourishing cities and
| towns which have required the running
OF local trains at short intervals. These
towns are only short distances apart and
united by trolley lines. Below Trenton
are South Trenton, one mile from Tren-
ton. Morrisville, a mile from South
Trenton; Tulleytown, five miles beyond .
Bristol, four miles south OF Tllleytown
then comes seven mile run to Torresdale
four miles to Tacony, two miles to Brides
iourishing suburbs of Philadelphia. Be
tween these populous and busy towns are
smaller and rapidly growing settlements
and as soon as the continuous trolley line
is finished between Jersey City and Phlla-
dephia the route will be patronized by
many who now ride on The local trains
OF the PENNSYLVANIA railroad company and
that corporation will then run fewer local
or short trains and more through express
trains to meet the Increasing demands of
through passenger traffic, The plan does
not contemplate only the relief of local
passenger traffic but includes the trans
portation OF freight, for the relief of ac-
comodation freight trains, and it is said
that Immediately after the through troll
ley passenger line is opened. freight cars
Will be run or that tracks for freight
line will be constructed If the passenger
traffic is so large that freight cars can not
be operated without interfering with it.
An official of the trolley company said
THE Pennsylvania road is wisely provid-
ing for the future. The use of electricity
as a motive power is practically new and
its possibilities are not known. 1t may
be developed until steam roads are thing
of the past, relic of antiquity. The
company Is securing franchises and rights
OF way and will parallel its route to Wash
ington with trolley line and will thus
secure an advantage over rival steam
lines by having open tracks for through
express trains

DEWEX'S BELIEF.
The Filipinos Should BE Given Their
Freedom.

New York. August 20--A dispatch to
the World from London gives at length
the London Daily News reported inter-
view with Admiral Dewey at Naples. Ac-
coruing 10 the correspondent, Admiral
Dewey began by saying that he had re

the fortunes OF war in favor Of America.
He added: The Spanish ships fought

The correspondent asked him if The
Philippines are likely to be pacihed soon.
The admiral replied; II have the qucs-
ton OF the Philippines more at heart than
has any other man because | know the
Filipinos intimately and they know / am

the fruit of the anarchy which has so
ltng reigned in the islands, but the in
surgonts will have to submit themselves
to the law after being accustomed to no
law at all
Il believe and affirm, nevertheless, that
The Philippines question will be shortly
solved.
The Filipinos are capable of governing
themselves they have all qualifications
for 1t. II is a question of time but the
culy way 10 settle the insurrection ana
assure prosl Gritty 10 the archipelago is TO
concede self government to the inhabi-
tants. That would be a solution of many
QUESTIONS and would satisfy all, especially
Filipiros. who believe themselves

omy first conceded and then snnexation
might be talked about. This is my opin-
ion.
II shoull like to see violence at once
put stop to.
According to my view the concession
or self government would be the most Just
and most logical situation
The admiral spoke with an air of frank
conviction.
