He regards European who gives as a
fool" The accuracy of this estimate
has been most strikingly demonstrated
by events at Manila the past few days.
These downtrodden people. who were
in a state of practical subsection when
Dewey brought Aguinaldo back from
Hong Kong and furnished them
through him with sinews of war with
which to assist in the defeat of the
Spaniard, have now turned those
sinews against their benefactors and
have accepted the aid of the Spaniards,
their lifelong oppressors in manning
the guns which the Americans gave
them. Surely this bears out the view
that they are incapable of gratitude
and have no lasting loyalty, as their
firing on a flag Of truce and numbering
and mutilating an American prisoner
shows that the natural treachery OF
the Malay has not been improved by
contact with the ferocity Of tho
Spaniard.
1t is most gratifying, however, to
learn with what kindness the captured
and wounded Filipino is being treated
by his captors. If anything can put
him in more intelligent touch with
those whose authority he must learn
to acknowledge it is this, by him un-
expected, kindness following upon
swift and terrible chastisement. Pos
sibly such humanity. may never fully
penetrate his immature. Oriental COM
prehension, SO different is he from the
people among whom it is commonly
pra, ticed. =, Nevertheless it has ever
worked wonders when judiciously APP
piled, even with those Orientals who
have become acquainted with it under
British rule. and it is too early TO as
sumo that the Filipino is to prove the
exception. In all events thisecourse is
the only one to be adopted. as it was
the only one to be followed in our war
with Spain when the immunity Of the
Red Cross was disregarded by the lat
ter. The smart the Filipino must feel,
but let the salve be applied when
possible.

The Saive TO Follow the Smart.

A new light must have dawned on
the childish minds of those Filipinos
who faced the irresistible onslaught of
the American. forces and were swept
back and crushed down to wake up as
from an awful nightmare, to find
themselves kindly cared for. their
wounds soothed and every possible
ministration for their comfort and
health being made. Torture and death
were expected after the manner of the
Spaniard. The contrast cannot fail to
make vivid impression on the i'm
mature mind Of the native, but how
long the imprint may remain is an
open question. and unfortunately not
one likely to be satisfactorily answered
by those best acquainted with him.
Mr.. Frank r. Robertson. who lectured
so entertainingly. Monday evening, in
this city on Manila, has very inter-
estink article on the same subject in
the February number of the Cosmo-
polltan. He gives a graphic portrai,
Of the Filipino as he saw him last fall
but he does not assume that it il by
any means complete. He quotes an.
other student of the people as follows:
The native is an incomprehensibls
phenomenon, the handspring of whose
thought and guiding motive of whose
action has never yet been, may neye,
De. discovered" In Mr.. Robertson;

The London interview with Ethan
Allen Hitchcock, retired ambassador to

of the interior, is a timely and import
ant utterance. Mr.. Hitchcock is recog-
nized as a man of clear vision and
sound judgment. and his compliments
TO the Russian government, and to the
young Gear in particular, may not be
discounted on the ground Of effusive
sentimentality. Mr.. Httchcock's esti-
mate. Of Russian friendship for the

the Cars propaganda for the Mmita-
ton OF national armament, will deeply
impress thoughtful Americans, even
though it conflicts with many sensa-

These rumors We're generally the
products of sensational newspapers, a,
home and abroad. and in some in.
stances the European sources were
clearly prejudiced. The friendship OF
Russia for the United States has beer
such that nothing less than incon.

should be taken into account

Along with the development of a Sec
ton rich in resources the new WASH
ington County Railroad bids fair to
make decided boom in the summer
resort business in that section of the
State where nature has been prodigal
of her gifts. and where in the combina-
ton of woodland. lake and sea coast
may be found some of the grandest
scenery in New England. Among the
new resorts that are coming to the
front in this section is Shackforl's
Head, PASSPORT. which is said to pre-
sent many attractions for summer
homes. A syndicate called the East
port Land Company has bought the
entire peninsula, and enough lots
have already been sold to insure some
extensive building operations there
another season. We have sometimes
felt that our summer resort attractions
were not advertised as thoroughly as
they should be. Already summer
tourists are annually bringing an inn
mense amount OF money into our State
and we believe that the next ten years
will see a tremendous expansion of it.
Maine combines with an ideal summer
climate an unrivalled sea coast, and a
large number of beautiful inland farms
and lakes-and is gradually drawing
summer visitors from a wider and
wider radius. Everything possible
should be done to enlarge this great
source of income to our State.
