The Presidents Boston speech.

In a speech full of aluring phrases, of ele-
giant rhetoric, of benevolent sentiment, there
is yet missing the one sentence that would
be the central gem of the address--the simple
statement that in the judgment of the chief
executive of the republic our duty is to hold
the Philippines only until an independ-
ent government is established there. Why
should the president hesitate to make this
declaration? Why, in his attitude of be-
nightly towards the whole human race, should
he differentiate the Filipinos from the Gu
bans? We have Admiral Dewey's word for
it that they even better qualified for self

Gov Lind vatoed the sugar bounty bill and
justly so, but the legislature unwisely over
rides his act. Without going into the history
of the state giving one class of people a

fraud and humbug ever attempted to be le-
galized. To Say that the man who raises

OF buds and trees
And scented breeze,
And love that blooms eternal.
If this were spring
And Joy wsre king

I'd pipe song
To please the throng,
And count it my chef d'oeuvre.

And birds on wing
Were clipper, pert and sassy.
