General Lawton says that with his
present force he could travel from one
snd of the Philippines to the other; but
tnat to hold what he gets would eat up
is whole force for small garrisons.
therefore he thinks that "a hundred thous-
and men will be required to pacify the
Philippines This Information Is not
surprising. 1t is the old story of conquest
every W here. Spain went over the ground
before US; and found that she could fight
the Tilipinos in the bush only with
garrisons or money. She seems to have
had the most success With money; but
such advantages are liable to vanish
when the money has been used up.

in his annual report to the British
Foreign Office, Vice Consul Heating, who
is stationed at Portland, speaks at length
of the business and commerce of Port
land. giving especial prominence to the
beauties of the coast Of Maine, and the
rapid increase of the business of enter
taiuing summer visitors. Portland is the
most attractive point for the summer Wis
itors coming to Maine. and is equally de-
lightful as q place for passing the vaca-
ton or as the starting point for many
delightful excursions. II the big wigs
of the Foreign Office will read MIR. Keat'
ing's report carefully we are sure that
some of them will long to join the Au-

DR.. Withrow of Boston thinks that Gov.
Rollins of New Hampshire is mistaken
In his opinion that Christianity has de-
cliued in New Hampshire. He believes
that Christianity is not only more wide
sprsad today, but also that the average
of Christian manhood has attained a
higher level "Once," says DIR. Withrow.
and in the same olden days to which
Gov. Rollins refers, it was not uncom-
mon, nor was 1t considered particularly
disgracefuL for minister of the gospel
to drink to excess. How long would a
minister of the gospel be tolerated now
il he drank to excess?"

One of the leading lumberme

One of the leading lumbermen OF
Augusta, Mr.. Ira n. Randall, says that
he never knew the Maine lumber bust
ness TO he so promising as at present. For
two years the supply of manufactured
lum Der greatly exceeded the demand, but
now the pendulum has swang the other
way and there Is not near enough lum-
Der to supply the demand. The price Of
spruce lumber has risen 50, and there is n
great demand for the Maine product, as
much West Virginia lumber that former
" competed in the Now York market Is
now absorbed in nearer places, as Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg. A factor which
is especially prominent in Maine Is the
absorption of spruce wood and spruce
lands by the pulp industry. Tho demand
for spruce from this source Is enormous,
and growing rapidly. On the Grand
Trunk railway, for instance, the Berlin
mills. only, will be in ope, alton, the In
ternational paper company having bought
the other mills and the timber lands be-
longing with them. The mills are being
dismantled. The outlet of the Grand
Trunk mills was Boston, and If there Is
much building there it is question
where the builders viii obtain their lum-
Der. As an example of the pulp mills
the HolIingsworth and Whitney plant at
wipslow, will eat up thirty millions
feet Of spruce wood annually. From the
onslaught being made upon the spruce
forests, it has followed that there has
already been great appreciation in the
value of timber lands. Mr.. Randall de-
clares 1t Ia not one.half what 1t will be
within five years.

Most of the volunteers in the Philip
pines prefer to come home rather than
stay, though considerable money in
ducsment is held out to them to do the
latter. This is not strange. Campaign
ing in the tropics with The thermometer at
ninety degrees must be exceedingly weary
work at best. And added TO the heat in
this case is exposure to a great variety of
deadly diseases, and association with
people with whom they can hav, no COM
psnionship. Doubtless for the defencs of
their country they would readily renew
their enlistment notwithstanding the
heavy burdens which this would impose,
but to remain to straighten out the Flip
pinos is quite another matter. That
doesn't appeal 10 them very strongly.

Rven Mr.. Wharton Barker of Phila-

necessary to raise prices of other things.

that all commodities rose and fell In re-
Spouse to the rise and fall of silver. That
was one of the cardinal doctrines Of the
silver party, and 1t brought them more
