President Mckinley will not be the first

The American feeling towards mig
gers whether in Georgia OF Luzon, is
characteristic Of the whole English speak
ing race" says the Springfield (Mass) Re
publican. So it is an American feeling"
is il? This is an unexpected concession,
coming as it does from Massachusetts.
And. by the way. what is the English
speaking racer" Most Of the foreigners
who come to live IN this country. whether
from Germany. Scandinavia or elsewhere,
learn to speak, and use. the English Ian
guage. And they So en- to regard the negro
pretty much as the natives do. Do they
acquire the race prejudice with the Ian
gauge? And again. the several millions
of negroes who dwell in this country are
an English speaking people. They could
hardly be charged with the American
feeling towards 'niggers.'' We are rather
inclined to the opinion that il is the fair
skinned white man. no matter what Ian
guase he may speak. that holds himself
superior to the darker races-and who has
demonstrated thai he is superior 10 them
and that the feeling towards 'niggers "
is not peculiarly American.

THE sAMoAN REPORT.

The report made by the three commits
sioncce scut 80 samoa by this country, Ger
many and England mas given rise TO the
question as to whether or not tt is tie
purpose OF this country to abandon the
Samoan islands. II is not at all strange
that the question should he asked The
Islands thus far have been of no partlcu-
lar benefit to us, They have cost us a
great deal more than we have either di-
rectly or indirectly received from them.
The commissioners in their report say
that they don't think that it is possible
for a government by the three Powers to
be successful. They gave the whole sub
iect very thoughtful consideration, and
arrived at the conclusion expressed in the r
report only after they had discussed the
situation in the islands from every point
of view.
The difficulty, however is how to let go
Each one of the Powers would be willing,
in all probability, to undertake alone the
government of the islands, but no one OF
them wants 10 offer to pun down its flag
Under the circumstances therefore it is
probable that the flags of all three Pow
The commissioners made a number of
changes in the system for the government
of the islands-changes which of course

pective governments before they wiz be-
come effective. one of the changes affects
the office of knight abolishes that office.
II was apparent that if it were retained
there would be trouble every time a new
king was to be selected. The recent trou-
bic in the islands-trouble that at one
time threatened 10 interfere with the
friendly relations existing between this
country and Germany-was caused by the
rival aspirants to the throne.
1t is doubtful, however, if the substitute
for the king which the commission has
provided will not be productive of more
dissensions than the Office of king was.
The islands are to he divided into dis
tricls each district to be presided over
by chief, and the chiefs are 10 meet at

and will in all probability, be fighting

month.
There isn't any doubt that the idea of the
commissioners that one Power ought to
have control of the government of the is
lands is correct. The other two could have
naval stations on the islands, and that is
about all that the.r interests require. 1t is
doubtful however, if any one of the Pow
ers will offer TO withdraw. Each has
pride in keeping its flag where it has once
been raised.

Evangelist Moody, who has a way of say
ing things so that they stick in the mem.
DRY OF his hearer, says: Il believe many
boys are driven into the streets and ruined
because they have fretful mothers" Isn't
that true? And often the fretfulness arises
from seldshness, pure and simple. The
mothers Of those mothers probably taught
them TO be selfish, fretful and peevisa.
Many mothers are careless of the where
abouts or occupation of their children, just
so they are out of the house and out Of
hearing The young people dread the
home-going They never so home unless
they cannot help it, and then get away
again as quickly as possible. Mr.. Moodv's
advice 20 frotfui mothers is, Don't fret
don't worry, and make home the pleasant
@st of all places for your children.

oFFERING MONEY ro TIE EAST.


A rather remarkable feature of the mon
etary situation is that the West is offer
ing money to the East and it is we'll
known fact that the banks of the South
have immense amounts on deposit with
the banks of New York
Al this season of the year, not so very
long ago, the West and the South were
either calling on New York for money
with which to move the crops or getting
ready to do so. They are not now depend
ing on the East for money. They have
all they can use to advantage. 1t is safe
to say that the South can financier the
cotton crop without the loan of A dollar
from New York. This being the condition
of affairs it win not be so very long be-
fore the building of cotton mills in the
South will so on much more rapidly than
is the case at present, Notwithstanding the
fact the number that Is now being built
is large. The time Is close at hand when
the South will have a great deal of sur
plus money and much of it will go into
cotton mills
one trouble with the monetary situation
in the East is the lack OF paper currency.
The banks and their customers don't want
to handle gold, and yet It looks as if they
would have TO do So and in large guam
titles. The treasury holds now nearly
$3.50, 100000 in gold and the amount is
steadily increasing. With so much in the
banks and in the treasury gold will grad
ually be forceu into general circulation
People only want gold when il isn't TO
be had. When It is to be had for the ask
ing they won't have it if they can avoid
taking it,

due 10 his own vigorous eXertions. He is

gave life 10 great popular dem0nstra ton
at Greenville, Ind, where he spoke morn
lns, afternoon and evening. In the aft r.
noon he talked over two hours with the
temperature at 80 in the shade. The i'm
mense physical vitality and you hful buoy

congratulate ourselves on the prospect of
peace for a century or more. II Is to be
hoped that as our people come TO under

The main enemies to mattresses are

It Is very important to air all the bed

be daily taken of and laid separately

air should be allowed to circulate

arc replaced. The mattress should be
turned daily from end to end. as this
insures It being worn more evenly, and
