Waiting for Dewey.

Even SO important subject as our posi-
tion and prospects in the Philippines is
lost to sight temporarily in the blare and
glare of the Dewey triumph; but We shall
come around to it again pretty soon. In
deed, after the Admiral Of the Navy has
been given chance 10 tell the President
what he knows and thinks about the situ-
alton at Manila, the country will not wait
long before vigorously demanding decision
Rnd action at the White House.
Mr.. Mckinley already knows what to ex-
beet from the man who brought US the
Philippines. Indeed he knew last spring
what the opinions of that officer were. He
declined to be guided by them then, and
permitted the syndicated influence behind
Otis and DENLY to govern his policy. Per-
haps now he viii change front. We hope
Rnd even believe that he will, although, in
doing So he will have to make a strong
Stand. against a combination fighting for
fhe life Of its hold upon the golden mine
OF Luzon.
Millions OF intelligent people are waiting
TO learn what the President intends TO dc
hhOIA JUS S-AO AOn ldA AC " ~
in purging the Administration, and par
ticlarly the War Department, OF the or
eanization which has made the Philippine
scandal possible. There is general i'm
preston abroad that Secretary Root is in
accord with public sentiment in this di-
rection, and that, from the beginning of
his connection with the War Office he has
combated the influence behind the mis-
takes, corruption, and other demor alizing
elements of the Manila maladministration.
The mere removal OF Otis, and the reIe-
gation of DENLY TO the luxurious private
life now within his ability to enjoy will
not satisfy the public demand for reform.
Such a sop will not make the impression
upon the popular mind needed by the Ad-
ministration to promote its political inter-
ests in Ohio and Nebraska. The assign
ment Of real general to the Philippine
command would help; but it must be thor
oughly understood that the next governor
general is to be given full authority, and
is not to be controlled from Washington or
anywhere else, in behalf of the trade In
arms and ammunition with the rebels. or
in promotion of other and unreasonable
smuggling operations.

The Boer's Fate if War Comes.


So the war, il il comes, is likely to be bitter.
1t is certain to end in the subjugation Of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State; most likely
also, in the acquisition of Delagoa Bay and the
Portuguese colony; in short, in the domination
Of England throughout South Africa up to and
all around the German colony, largely isolating
it from the interior; and look into the future
can this possession falling into the British
lap, like a ripe plum, rather, with
cred one. 1t is the course of empire in
a literal we'll as a fgurative sense,
and il is better for the world that it
should be so. The Dutch in possession in South
Africa mean monopoly, privilege, and slavery.
They grind the face OF the natives. They deny
the equal rights of man. They are an obstruction
70 progress. Their bread backs are turned to-.
waEd the future. They stand in the way of the
spread of light and liberty. Their fate is Just
as certain that of the Tagals. If they will
not come in and be 'tgood Indians they will
be civilized out.

The Situation in South Africa.

There is no longer any doubt concerning
The attitude of the Orange Free State Its
Nolksraad has declared that, while depre-
eating war. it will faithfully fulfill its OBJ
legations to the TransHaal in virtue of the
existing political alliance" II is probable
that the Boer answer to the Chamberlain
notes viii be in London today, and that
the Cabinet Council which has been sum-
moned to meet tomorrow will take some
final action calculated to end suspense and
bring the South African crisis TO climax.
-nent will be convened to make an extraor-
dinary grant for war purposes.
According to the views expressed by Sir
Walter Peace, agent general for Natal in
London man who has seen much active
Service in South Africa-the detection Of
the Orange Free State, while temporarily
embarrassing, will in the end prove bene-
fetal If that little country were true to
England, he says, the campaign which Sir
Redvers Butler viii conduct would be over
in two weeks from the firing Of the first
shot. But, in that case, Orange indepen-
dence would have to be respected. and that
would result in the perpetuation of a nu-
cleus Of anti-British influence in South
Africa, which would always be a danger to
Imperial interests and TO the peace of
those regions. The time has come, in Sir
Walters opinion, when England must put
an end to the troubles that for a century
have kept the southern end OF the conti-
pent in turmoil, by taking over both of
the semi-independent Dutch communities.
That this is the deliberate and infiexible
purpose Of Her Majesty's government is
now beyond question, and, in the light of
what We have seen of the distressing polit-
seal and economic conditions in South At
Tica for number OF years, its justice and
necessity in the interests OF civilization
cannot be gainsaid.
The fact appears between the lines of
Kruger's and Joubert's movements that
their recent boasts Of complete readiness
TO take the offensive have been not well
grounded in truth. They are now reported
as selecting officers to so to the front in
the event OF hostiliiies. Their military or
ganization is altogether too imperfect for
purposes OF quick mobilization for action
against a modern regular army Their
forces consist, with the exception OF four
hundred and fifty imported artilierymen, OF
simple farmers, who could have 6at few

~Fresh From the Farm

An elderly Illinoisian who farm in the
interior Of the State has built up quite Chicago
trade in ''choice dairy butter fresh from the
farm" His customers are among the most fas-
tidious people and il is his custom to take a
daily trip to the city and deliver the butter
himself in order that they may be sure of the
fresh from the farm proposition. The other
morning a who is not one Of the farmers
customers, but who knows him by sight, rode
into the city on the railroad train with him,
walked Gown far South Water Street be-
hind him and noticed that he carried no package
and did not have anything in the baggage car.
He was little surprised but thought mere
about the matter until hour two later
while seated in the Office Of acquaintance the
farmer entered with a jar under his and
proceeded TO hand cut TO this man his allowance
of butter fresh from the farm Now he firmly
believes that this farmer is also a peddler who
gets his butter from Chicago commission men.

The Late Alaskan Earthquake,

II the earthquake shocks at Yakutat performed
all the wonderful feats described by the Rev
Sheldon Jackson, the greatest wonder of all is
that he should have no less of life to chronicle
a series of shocks that repeatedly knocked eyery-
body down, that opened up chasm on the shore
large enough 10 swallow a thirty-foot tidal wave.
and that alternately swept miners to sea and
then landed them on the top of hill, must
have been remarkably considerate if it drowned
or killed nobody. Mountains are said to have been
thrown down, islands blotted out, and glaciers
sent crashing into the ocean. Mr.. Jackson's story
would be more trustworthy if he had omitted
the maryels about the miners who found a boat
with a mile up the mountainside and who
sailed in it to Yakutat to tell him about their
experiences. Pending a confirmation of these de.
tails il may be accepted fact that the cen.

RAW MATERIALS NEEDED.
Germany Wants Pig Iron. Coal, Coke
and Steel.


In report to the State Department
Vice Consul General Hanauer. of Frank
fort, says: "Of late new phase in Ger
many's economic life has become apparent
which affects her labor and material. Some
branches OF trade can work only with half
power because they lack the raw materials.
This refers especially to rolling mills,
which suffer from dearth Of pig iron. In
dustries using steel, coal, and coke, though
fully at work, are not making much profit
on their output, as the advance in the cost
of the raw materials is not compensated
by the prices obtainable for the finished
products. Most of the iron, and some Of
the machinery works, have contracts that
will keep them busy until the middle of
next year. These are now working over
time and refuse to take any more con-
tracts at fixed time and price. The great
boom in iron and coal is principally due
to the large contracts given cut by the
government for its railroad stations and
rolling stock and by municipal and pri-
yate corporations for narrow-gauge rail-
roads and electric tramways; also, to the
many machine works that have sprung up
during the last two years.
The building trade in Germany, which
has been booming for some time past, is
also a large customer on account of the
structural iron used; likewise the ship
yards, which are busy executing orders for
the home and other governments and for
the merchant marine. The wages of work
men in these branches have increased SO
much that the hands doing piece work in
the iron and machine trade now earn from
$1-75 to 1925 per day; in some cases this
scale is reached by the best stonecutters
and maso1s, but these are employed only
during the building season. When the
government contracts are filled a period of
reaction will set in, the demand for labor
will lessen, and wage reductions will be
in order -
