Gen. Shafter recently stated that it
might be necessary to kill off half of
the population of the Philippine Islands
in order to subjugate the remaining half
and lift them from their half barbarious
condition to the civilization which other
countries enjoy. Between Cuba and the
Philippines the government will have its
hands full for some time to come.

unprincipled woman whom he took to
share his life.
The woman who can thus bring de-

many poor victim of narrow minded

Oh, the toll we lost, and the spoil we lost,
And the excellent things we planned,
Belong to the woman who didn't know

And now we know she never knew why)
And did not understand.
And it isn't the shame, and it isn't the
blame
That stings like white hot brand;
It's coming to know that she never knew

Seeing at last she could never kno " why)
And never could understand.

WAR at its best has more of pathos
than of glory.ssWhen it is waged against
oppression or when princi pies of honor
are at stake, its trlumphs are Swallowed
by sacrifices. When the forces of ma
turing civilization, great through free
dom, are exerted to crush dawning
impulse to liberty there is little left to
war but sadness. For the blood which
is being poured out in the trenches at
Manila, no adequate return is apparent.
Men like gallant Col. Egbert and Lieut..
Krayenbuhl have offered up their lives,
and to what purpose? To show that the
American soldier is able to die soldiers
death? Such proof was not wanted.
Death is too high price to prove va
lor that is not questioned. And if not
for this, what then? To force our free
dom upon people who have their own
ideas of liberty? Freedom against free
dom. History has nothing to show in
parallel. Men have fought to Cypress
and have glorled in their triumph, but
never before has liberty been offered in
volleYs. Obedient to his duty, fighting
IN contravention to every principle of
his life and education, the American sol
der at Manila is the noblest sacrifice
that wars annals can show.
1t is the pity of it all that is most ap-
parent now. Free blood is cementing
bonds that, call them by what name you
will, represent in the end only slavery
Why ours to bear this burden? The
present policy in the Philippines can be
excused only on the ground of selfish.
ness. Yet selfshness has been dlsclaimed
| The war is not one of conquest, tile
country is told. There is talk of mani
fest destiny, and the progress of civiliza-
ton, catch phrases that mean nothing
The truth is that all this sacrifice of life
is to ap end that the American people
can never indorse and which even its
authors are afraid to admit. In the day
of reckoning, all evasions will be cleared
away, the responsibility, either for a 81
gantic blunder or for an attempt at az.
grandizement, will be fixed. Then it
will be time to punish; this is the day
for only regret, for pity for the Filipino
dead in the trenches, tor the boy in blue
falling in the advance.

An Iowa paper says it is funny, and
1t really is, that farmers, when they wish
to retire move to town. Town people,
when they wish to retire, move to the
country. A man has poor health and he
moves to town to rest up and get where
he will not be bothered with hard work.
The town man, when he has poor health,
goes to the country with his tent and
pitches it under some shady tree where
he will enjoy the country air and rusti-

the law to cover rate-making by insur-

Judge Martin holds that the state has

The government transport ship Bid
ston Hill left San Francisco last week
for Manila, with 1900 cases Of roast
beef of the same kind as was used in Gu
ba, and packed above the cases of roast
beef are five hundred collins for dead
soldiers. We get this from the Pioneer
Press Of April IL. According to the ra-
ito of this shipment it will take three
cases of canned meat to produce one
dead soldier, which We think is wrong

the beef investigation commission each
case of this beef is capable Of killing

his wife, Elizabeth, for divorce, and al
legged that she a been unfaithful to him.

and after the Vice Chancellor had an
nounced his decree. her husband had re-
sumed with her his former intimate rela-
lions, and for this reason. she asked the
Vice Chancellor to reopen his decree.
