MISSIONARIES AND FILIPINos.

A number of very excellent gentlemen,
ministers of the gospel of peace and broth
erly love, have been and are advocating
the retention of the Philippine Islands
by the United States at all hazards, in
order that missionaries may be sent among
the natives 10 Christianize and Save"
them. Some of them have taken the
ground that God has made this govern
ment his agent for the spreading of the
gospel in the far East and that the Amer
lean people would be recreant to the holy
trust and duty if they hesitated to take
up willingly the burden thus intended for
them 1t is, they claim, a part of mani
fest destiny that we should carry light
to the heather Filipinos, hence there
should be no shirking on our part.
Speaker Reed is not an expansionIst
He is not much of a believer in the man
ifest destiny programme. He takes no
stock in the suggestion that we should
carry the Bible to the heather on the
point Of a bayonet, or shoot religion into
him with our Krag-Jorgensens. The 9TH
er day a manifest destiny" advocate. one
who believes that a ship load of mission
aries should accompany each ship load of
soldiers, or something of that sort, ap-
preached the speaker to make an effort
to secure his influence for a missionary
scheme. "Well, now" said the big man
from Maine. II guess if you are going to
send any missionaries to eivilize the Phil
ippines you had better hurry up. Last
week there were 1900 more Philippines
travelling about than there are now, and
If Gen. Otis keeps up his present work, at
the end of six weeks there won't be many
natives for the missionaries to civilize."
Meanwhile, before the arrival Of the
missionaries, the work of benevolent as
similation," by the means of bullets and
shells, is going bravely on in the islands.
Hereafter there may be less of resistance
to the invading missionaries, but they
will not have so much raw material to
| work upon.

The Real white Mans Burden" :"

From the New York Times.
With Apologies TO Mr. Rudyard Kipling.
Take up the White Mans Burden;
Send forth your sturdy sons,
And load them down with whisky
And Testaments and guns
Throw in a few diseases
To spread in tropic climes.
For there the healthy niggers
Are quite behind the times.
And don't forget the factories.
On those benighted shores
They have no cheerful iron mills
Nor exc department stores.
Ihey never work twelve hours a day.
And live in strange content,
Although they never have to pay
single cent of rent.
Take up the White Mans Burden.
And teach the Philippines
What interest and taxes are
And what a mortgage means.
Give them electrocution chairs.
And prisons, too, galore,
And If they seem inclined to kick,
Then spill their heather gore.
They need our labor question, too.
And politics and fraud.
We've made a pretty mess at home.
Let make mess abroad
And let us ever humbly pray
The Lord of Hosts may deign
To stir our feeble memories,
Lest we forget-the Maine.
Take up the White Mans Burden;
To you who thus succeed
In civilizing savage hordes
They owe debt, indeed;
Concessions, pensions, salaries,
And privilege and right,
With outstretched hands you raised IL
bless
Grab everything In sight.
Take up the White mans Burden.
And if you write in verse,
Flatter your Nations vices
And strive to make them worse
Then learn that If with pious words
You ornament each phrase,
In world of canting hypocrites
This kind of business pays.

The Turning of The Worm.

Rivers was walking along the street,
wrapped in meditation and a large ulster
with turned-up collar. the tip of his nose
being the enly exposed portion of his an
atomy. says the Chicago Tribune.
To him came another citizen, walking
alongside, similarly swathed, for it was
an exceedingly cold day, and in the ear of
Rivers ne spoke these words, in a plain
tive monotone:
Excuse me, mister. but this kind of
weather is pretty hard on a poor man who
hasn't had anything to eat or-to eat for
twenty-four hours and if you wouldn {
mind helping me little"
Without looking 10 the right or left Riv-
ers quickened his pace, but the mendicant
kept alongside and went on without a
break:
1T would be a great favor to me- mis-
ter You've got plenty of meat and drink
and warm place 10 sleep in, and you
don't mind the cod, but it's mighty hard
on poor man that hasn't got any under
shirt, and if you will only give me enough
40 keep soui and body together for an
hour or two
Rivers turned abruptly down a side
street, hut the other man was not to be
shaken off. He turned likewise and kept
up his stream of oratory:
You won't miss il, and it'll do me a heap
of good. Just enough to keep me alive for
about two hours is all 1 ask. That ism {
much. While you're rolling in luxury I'm
freezing aud starving 10 death l can I

or I'd be a-shoveling it. Just give me the

ers, taking a coin from his pocket and
handing 1t over without looking at him.

thinking Of something else. Take this and
so and get gloriously drunk or buy a dose
OF poison and kill yourself. Good day."
Thank you kindly, sir Good day."
A few minutes later. while Rivers was
taking off his. overcoat, preparatory to sit
ting down to his desk, Brooks came in

For about ten minutes Rivers said moth

voice:

Brooks waited several minutes before
replying. Then he merely said:

A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANcE.

That was a significant utteranee of the
President at the breakfast Of the Algon-
quin Club in Boston last Friday morning,
It seems 20 us. when he said that we were
fast going from debtor 10 a creditor ma
ton. that we have quit discussing the tar
if and have turned our attention 10 get
ting trade wherever it can be found. Has
he reached the conclusion that the time
has come for getting rid Of the Dingley
tariff, and that if we are to reach the mar
kets Of the world we must take down the
high protection barriers of which he has
been such an enthusiastic defender? 1t
would seem from his remarks made in Bos-
ton that he has undergone a change OF
mind in respect to the tariff. He certainly
would not have said that we have ceased
talking about It If he did not think the
protective system was now In the way
of the full development of our trade with
foreign countries.
1t is a remarkable fact that we are
rapidly forging to the front as manufac-
turing country. The increase in our ex-
ports Of manufactured products Is so great
world There are facts connected with
our manufacturing interests which seem to
indicate that the time is not distant when
We shall dictate terms to the markets of
the world in manufactured products. But,
in order that our manufacturing interests
may grow rapidly they must be allowed
to grow naturally. They must not be ham
pered by any such restrictions as the Ding
ley tariff imposes upon them.
1t is said that the President at the White
House recently, indicated to one of the
members of the Anglo-American Commis-
sion that his views on the tariff had un-
dergone a change, and that before the ex-
piration of his term of office he might
think it advisable to recommend radical
changes in our tariff laws. The reference
in his Boston speech to the tariff may
mean that it is his purpose to say some
thing in his mess. .ge to Congress next De-
cember on the tariff question that will be
rather startling to his Republican friends.

AMERICAN on CUBAN.

A Washington correspondent who is
usually quite well informed writes that
the American flag has been raised on the
Isle of Pines to stay; that when the Pres
ident and Secretary Day put into the pro
tocol that Spain cedes to the United
States the island of Porto Rico and other
Islands now under Spanish sovereignty in
the West Indies" it meant everything
above water except Cuba, and included
permanent possession of the Isle of Pines.
This, according to the correspondent,
gives us a naval station several hun
dred miles nearer to the entrance of the
proposed Nicaragua canal than Porto
Rico. and a colony of which little has
been said or written" Gen. Lee. 1t is
understood. has been ordered to prepare
a summer camp on the island, and the
coast survey has been directed to make a
survey OF the harbors with a view to Sc
lectng the most available one for i'm
provement
If, indeed, the government purposes re-
specting the Isle of Pines are such as are
indicated above, the chances are good for
us to get into a controversy with the Gu
bans as soon as they have recognized
government of their own. While the dis
tance from the Cuban mainland to the
Isle of Pines is some fifty miles, the two
are practically connected by a chain of
small islands, similar to the Florida keys.
Key West is much further from the main
land of Florida than the Isle of Pines Is
from the mainland of Cuba. yet no one
would for moment entertain the sug-
gestion that Key West is not a part of
Florida. The Isle of Pines has always
been considered a part of Cuba II has
been governed from Havana, and part of
it has been used as a penal colony for
Cuban prisoners, while other parts of it
have been employed as health resort by
rich Cuban planters.
No mention was made of the Isle of
Pines in the protocol or the treaty. 1t
would be a very plausible assertion for the
Cuban government to say that Spain, and
even the United States, had regarded the
Isle of Pines as being part of Cuba, and
hence had said nothing about IL In the
peace negotiations. Had the intention of
either party to the agreement been that
II should be considered separately-the
island is about one-thlrd as large as
Porto Rico-the probabilities are that It
would have been specifically named in the
protocol

A CHANCE FOR THE ORANGE TREES

The fact that no bad news in respect to
the orange groves of Florida has been
heard during the last two or three days
leads to the hope that the groves have
escaped very serious damage in the great
er part of the orange section. II has been
pointed out in the dispatches of the Morn
ing News that the freeze this year was
very different from that of 1895 The cold
spell was longer then and came directly
after a period of very warm weather,
which had filled the trees with sap
Mr.. w. Neyle Habersham says that in
1895, It was apparent almost as soon as
the cold wave had passed that the orange
trees in his garden had been killed by the
cold. In that year, also, he says, pal
the fun force of the northwest wind-were
killed. 1t does not yet appear that the
freeze of this year has killed orange trees
in his garden. The trees show that they
have been effected to some extent by the
cold, but there are no indications yet that
they have been badly hurt. And Mr.
Habersham does not hear of any palmetto
trees having been killed by the blizzard
of this year.
From these statements the conclusion Is
drawn that the cold of this year was not
nearly so severe on orange trees as was
that of February, 1895. II is certainly TO
be hoped that the Injury done the trees
is very slight and that the damage done
peach trees in this state is not nearly so
great as at first supposed.

How she Caught the pickpoc<.t.

A wealthy lady was in an omnibus with
a considerable sum of money in her nurse
says Tit-Bits. At one of the stops there
came into the bus a man who sat down
beside her. She thought of her well f1ll-
ed purse and resolved to watch him
closely.
Suddenly her suspicious neighbor nut
his hand down at his side. She felt A.
slide down until it touched her purse. and
instantly she put out her own hand and
seized the stranger by the wrist. He did
not struggle, however, and she was in
some pexplexity as to what she should do
next; but she thought that if he should at
tempt TO get away she could at least show
that she had him by the wrist with his
hand in her pocket
she said afterward that she could rot
tell why she did not give an alarm ar
once, but she sat quiet waiting for her
neighbor to make the first move.
They rode on this way for some dis
tance, when to her amazement the strang-
er prepared TO rise.
IF you will let go of my arm. Madam "
he said with the utmost coolness, Il will
get out here"
He half rose as he spoke, and. to her
utter confusion, the lady discovered that
his hand, instead of being in her pocket
was thrust into the pocket of his own
ulster. The garment hung down so far
that his hand had pressed against the
purse without being in contact with it and
she had been holding him by the wrist
with no excuse whatever.
She was overcome with confusion. but
managed to say that she had thought his
hand to be in her pocket The stranger
smiled and went out, while a gentleman
near by leaned forward to say:
Don't you know who that is, Madam? D.?
That is the Rev. DR.. Blank
The name was that of one of the hest
known clergymen in London.
