ARBOR DAY.
To Be Observed BY Beautlfying
School Grounds.

Arbor Day is now observed in al.
most every state of the union. The
day is appointed by state law and pro-
clamation of the governor The date
varies in the different states owing to
the diverse seasons.
In this state Arbor Day is made to
coincide with the anniversary of the
birth of George Washington.
The day is generally observed
throughout the state of Texas, but has
never received much attention here.
This year, at the suggestion of Super
iuteDdentPutnam of the public schools,
an attempt will be male to give the
day very substantial recognition, in
the way of planting trees to besutify
the grounds for the new schools.
A large number of dodgers reading
as follows were distributed today:
ARBoR DAY, FEB. Odd, 1899.
Patrons of the Public Schools from
the Second Ward are respectfully
invited to attend meeting at the
Central School House this evening at
3 O'Clock for the purpose Of preparing
a program for the observance Of Arbor
Day. We desire to plant trees on the
Second Ward School ground and have
exercises for the occasion.
All who are interested in the Secord
Ward and in the identifying of the
are respectfully invited to be
present. Very Respectfully,
G. p. PUTNAM,
Superintendent of Schools.
1t is likely that the Mexicsns will be
invited to take similar steps with re-
gard to the grounds for their new
school.
The custom is pretty and profitable
one, and it is we'll that Ell Psso Is to
Jake part in the observance.
A large attendance tonight is re-
luested

celebrated for its ability and willingness to
entertain, its capacity will be we'll taxed
The Ladies' Boarding Hall and Dormitory

all the rest. The sessions of the conference
will be held in Meharry Hall, the university
chapel, room capable of seating 1900, and
the opening of college has been postponed
one week in order to get the conference out
Of the way before the rush of students.
The preliminary meeting was held to-
night, with the conference sermon by Rev.
w. H. Grim, of Worthington This was an
able discourse, and we'll received by the
large audience that heard 1t. Rev. Grim is
not losing any of the fire of eloquence in
his old age. AT the close of the sermon an
informal reception was given to the minis
tiers and visiting friends. A large company
gathered. and a pleasant social hour was
enjoyed.
Bishop Goodsell arrived from Detroit this
afternoon, and is ready for his work. Ev-

ADMIRAL DEWEY AND THE PHILIP
PINES.

When Admiral Dewey reaches the United
States there will be a great desire TO learn
his views in regard to the Philippines and
the war. AS member of the Philippines
commission he will probably follow the ex-
ample Of Professor Schu-nan, another
member of the commission. giving only
a general expression of his views to
the public and reserv,ng detail, for the
President. Whatever Admiral Dewey's
views may be the President will. of course
have the benefit of them in full. Meanwhile
some expressions Of Admiral Dewey's en-
able to form a reasonably accurate
opinion as to his views regarding the pres
ent situation, at least, If not regarding the
ultimate disposition Of the Philippines. On
two points he has expressed himself frank
ly, namely the commercial value of the
islands and the fitness of the F'ilipinos for
self-government. On the latter point. as
long ago as June "a. 1898, he telegraphed Sec
rotary of the Navy Long: In my opinion
these people the Filipinos) are far superior
In their intelligence and more capable of
self-government than the natives of Cuba !:
and 1 am familiar with both races This
was six months before the treaty of peace
was signed and before 1t was known that
we would take the Philippines. OF course
II was long before our trouble with the
Filipinos began. Admiral Dewey has ex-
pressed the same opinion since and proba-
bly, still adheres to ii. In an alleged in
terview wired TO a New York paper from
Gibraltar he is reported saying:
You may add this. have not changed
my opinion which i stated in the early days
at Manila. then speaking of knowledge OF
both peoples. that L consider the Filipinos
more capable of self-government than the
Cubans. / took the keenest interest in those
Filipinos who were employed at the arsenal
i'm Cavite and often | was surprised by
their intelligence. With fair ant properly
directed opportunities there are great pos
sibilities I'm the Filipinos.
AS the interview guarded in other re-
spects and had the appearance of being
genuine the above is probably correct. 1t
does not commit the admiral for or against
annexation. for or against protectorate or
FOR or against local self government in the
Philippines. 1t is simply a comparison of
the Fflipinos with the Cubans. to the adj
vantage of the former. Admiral Dewey
does not say positively that he considers the
Fflipinos as capable of self-government. but
as more capable than the Cubans.
Another point of interest In the recent In
terview with Admiral Dewey Is his state

General Lawton's denial of newspaper re-
ports of an interview asserting that he COM
mented on the military situation and criti-
cised the conduct of operations in the
Philippines probably refers to an article by
a Rev. Peter MacQueen, of Boston, which
is now going the rounds of the press. In it
General Lawton is alleged to have said to
the writer, who has recently returned from
Manila. that what we want is to stop this
war; it is time for diplomacy" AS General
Lawton is a soldier first, last and all the
time, besides being man noted for his
common sense, no one save a Boston Atkin-
sonite can be persuaded to believe that he
ever said anything of the kind. the Rev.
MacQueen to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Certainly the War Department will take no
heed of such improbable tales, and it was
not necessary for the general to worry
about the matter.

The appointment of Mr. Vincent G. Cliff
ford as supervisor of the census for this
district is an excellent one. Mr.. Clifford
has energy. executive ability and an ac-
quaintance with the field that will at the
start give him a grasp of the work. This
district will be the most difficult to handle
of any In the State, but there Is no doubt
that in his hands the task will be accom-
plished with system and thoroughness. OF
the special qualifications of the other su-
pervisors the Journal cannot speak from
personal knowledge. but no doubt they are
equally good; in which case the next census,
so far as Indiana is concerned, will be a
satisfactory piece of work.

Doolev on European PoIitic..

The general tendency of American humor
Is toward the satirical. 1t suits the Amer
lean taste and temperament to view the
world and its affairs in humorously
cynical light. and the writer who can so
present current topics comes quickly into
favor. 1t was this characteristic that
brought the 'Dooley" articles into such
swift popularity. So long as they dealt with
local matters the interest was local. but
when they began to treat of the Spanish
American war and other themes of national
scope everybody read them, laughed over
them and called for more. Their author,
Mr.. Finley p. Dunno, hit upon an original
and happy medium for expressing his en-
tertaining opinions when he invented Mr..
Dooley. Added to his Irish wit and COM
mand of a delightful Irish brogue, Mr..
Dunno has the trained newspaper man S
comprehension Of what the public likes to
hear about and the adaptability to vary
his theme. Before people were tired of
Dooley on the Cuban war he stopped talk
ing of the war. For some time he has
not been talking at all, having been abroad
considering the affairs of other nations, but
he has now resumed his reflections on new
things and will offer series of interesting
discourses on European politics. The Jour-
nal will have the pleasure of presenting
these to its readers, beginning on next SUM-
day, Sept. IL. He will deal first with the
Dreyfus case, and 1t is hardly necessary
to say that his observations will be en-
tirely original and highly edifying. Hin
nissey is likely to be astonished many
times as the European panorama is un-
rolled before him with Mr.. Dooley's light
touch. He will not confine himself TO
French politics, but may be expected to pay
his respects to Mr.. Chamberlain and En-
peror William among others. Dooley's views
will be worth reading.
