met with no better fate The untutored Tagal has
gone merrily on all unconscious of the blow that was
soon to come. Now all the light has gone from the
eye of the Filipino. From San Fernando to Iaguna
de Bay there is trembling and terror. By cable has
come the news that Mckinley the chief of the ma

COUNT TOLsToTs METHOD.

There is writer of our time on social or NO.
Htical subjects who can command as much attention
as Count Leo TOlstoi There is doubt prevailing
as to the sincerity of his convictions He is out
spoken concerning all existing social and political
wrongs his own peculiar surrender of rank and
prominence in pursuit of his mission for the ameora
ton OF the condition of the Russian masses together
with the grand position which he has wrought for
hlhsef III literature, all tend to give him a larger
ana more attentive audience than is at the disposal
OF any other Of the great writer's of our time
Count Tolstois recent Letter to the Russian Lib
erals which appears in the columns of the current
Independent offers strong presentation of his
views of the relationship which should be borne by
individuals toward government authority when it
runs counter to individual rights While the terms
OF the article are largely general in their character
there is such plain reference made from time TO time
in it to the government of the car as leaves no Doubt
that the writer has especial reference in all that he
says to the government of Russia
Tolstofs philosophy is very simple He does not
believe in resort violence for the re1nedyng of oy
ernmental wrongs. Neither has he any liberation for
those who, like the Russian Liberals whom he adj
dresses, believe that by peaceful agitation and grad
ual processes OF education and enlightenment they
can, as he says conquer constitutional rights bit by
bit His plan is rather one of passive resistance He
explains his rejection of peaceful and legal liberal

QUOTING DEWEY.

The Triest correspondent of the New York Herald
must be person of rare personal charm of great
personal Importance else Admiral Dewey must
have lost that splendid retcence which marked him
as man capable of high things in the realms of
statecraft of war; if the language imputed to him
in our dispatches regarding Germany is not false
Not even the volube COghlan could have spoken
with less unreserve more maladroitly than Adj
miraI Dewey is made to speak in that dispatch to
the Herald from Triest. No thoughtful student of
international political events would have spoken such
language or will believe that Admiral Dewey used it
1t is not the first time that the admiral has had
language put into his mouth which his entire char
acter as revealed in the capture of Manila and his
subsequent conduct, has wholly belied he were the
most blatant Angomaniac he could not use stronger
language than this: England is our natural allv
and differences such those about the Venezuelan
boundary and the fisheries do not Interfere with
friendly understanding existing between the two
tons Our next war will be with Germany"
Even if these opinions were entertained by Ad-
mral Dewey, it is safe to say that he would never
give expression of them to any newspaper CORE
spondent There undeniably a lot Of political
t1ckery behind the Coghlan incident that poor ud-
geon having been papably used as a tool by the

Dewey, is it not little strange that an article in

showed her worthiness the sacrifice of truth and

the woman and her crime, and the crime against
