THE SITUATION AT MANILA.

The news that comes to the United
Statee from Manila direct is all subject
to censorship, and while the censor would
not probably conceal or misstate actual
occurrences he would naturally out out
anything that foreshadowed gloomy
future for the American forces or all In
definite prolongation of the war. That
ID part of the reason, no doubt that the
reports that cUIue from Luxon direct are
much more cheering than those which
come by the way Of Hong Kong, to
which letters are sent by mail from
Manila and from there telegraphed to
this country. While dispatches from
Manila have indicated an early surrender
Of the Filipinos those from Hong Kong
have represented them as determined to
fight to the bitter end, and to surrender
only when they were practically extermi-
mated. Very likely there is some brag
and buster in the Filipoino expression
of intention but 1t must be confessed
that they have shown a good deal of cour-
age and staying power. They have been
repulsed repeatedly by our troops with
great slaugh or, yet they havs shown few
signs Of being disheartened OF democrat
lied. They have fallen back at our ad
vance, yet they have continued to hover
abont our lines, watching for an oppor
tunity to strike q blow when any of our
troops have been of their guard
and taking advantage Of it. Their con-
duct has been that Of men who had

The well-managed railroad is one of
the most progressive of all institutions.
No effort is spared to keep the men who
do its WORK alert, earnest and reasonable.
The Buston & Maine has an able lecturer
whose business it is to go about from
place to place on the line and hold meet
ings with the men, explaining to them
their relations with the corporation and
informing them of the ways in which
they can best advance their own fortunes
by perfeo ting the service of their employ
ers. This lecture abounds in good sense
and interesting information; and has
undoubtedly snoothed out many difficult
ties and helped many an ambitious and
earnest employo. 1t is announced that
the passenger ana freight station agents
of the Maine Central are to form an asso-
citation for social and educational pur-
poses; and it is probable that the move
ment has the approval and encouragement
of the management. The meetings are to
be held monthly at the larger stations
and inspection of facilities and methods
at junction points, discussion of pertinent
questions relating to passenger and freight
business, and lastly but not least, din
ner, are features of the occasion. No bet
ter plan could be devised for keeping a
corps of men progressive, alert and eff
cient, or for making their efforts conduce
to tie prosperity of the road.

for the civilian world O reminder of the
hard conditions that infuse dash of
bitterness into this chronicle OF garrison
life, written by one who knew it well. d"
nd then he Introduces to US Lieutenant
Williston Fish, U. S. A, the author of
the present volume.
Mr.. Fish's book contains series of
sketches OF garrison life. beginning with
the West Point experiences OF cadet. and
faithful description of social life at
the Military Academy. A love story
runs through the pages, the hero of the
affair, which illustrates the truth of
Shakespeare adage that 1.-THE course of
true love never did run smooth, " being
Lieutenant MONEY!, while his sweetheart
IL Miss kuth Lancaster, a lively and
pretty charmer.
After awhile the scene changes to Fort
Smelling, and there one apparently gets a
very good idea of army life, with its am
billions and disarpointments, its petty
i,alonsies, its practical jokes, its trials
and its pleasures.
While told in a rather light and bright
vein the story is not without its pathos,
for Ruth Lancaster thinks her lover re-
creant, while he. poor fellow thinks sh Q
has married another man.
The book is fully illustrated by c. j.
Taylor.

There has been evidence enough to set
tie beyond all reasonable doubt that
much of the beef furnished the army was
utterly unfit for use. and that it was so
not on account of the climate or 9th ST
conditions over which men have no con-
troll, but because of the fault or crime of
the persons who furnished it In short
the beef was bad when it was put into
the cans. The pad quality of the beef
having been shown, the next step is to
fix the responsibility. and the court of in
curry will not have performed its mis-
sion to the satisfaction of the pubic until
that is done. 1t may be a hard thing to
do, but determination and persistent
work will accomplish 1t.

The Wat erville Mail thinks state otfic-

wants of the people and held to quite as
strict an account of their stewardship
AS are the employees of an ordinary cor
poration. This is said anent the failure
of the legislature to do anything to RENE
dy the practice Of riding on free passes
and charging the state mileage. The
Mail evidently has forgotten Commission
er Carleton's objection to giving the state
the benefit of the passes. that 1t would
not be fair to the railroads. To do any
thing unfair to the railroads would be a
shame. What is fair or unfair to the state
Is of com paratively of little consequence

The History and Civil Government of
Maine. by W. W. Stetson, Estate Superin
tendent of our Public Schools), with
The Government of the United States by
b. A. Hinsdale. Phi. D.. LII. d. forms
one OF a number Of text books entitled
The State Government Series.
The preface tells us that sit Is import
ant that our school children have oeti-
mite knowledge of the early history OF our
own State; patriotic interest in its re
sources and development, some acquaint-
ance with the men who have been LEADERS
in our common wealth. and such familiar
ity with the laws governing the town,
city. country, and state as well tit them
to become Intelligent citizens, safe lead
ers. and wise rulers
All this Is certainly very desirable, and
Mr.. Stetson's book seems to cover the
ground and will, doubtless, if properly
used, serve well the purpose for which it
is intended.
