"Springtime was Towering in your fair
young face,
''When first the sceptre laid on You its
load
"Springtime and seedtime--and how well
you sOwed,
'In the rough furrows life's long duties

Scattering with lavish heart the smiles
of youth and grace.

Love rooted deep in reverence that in.

Remembrance of your name as long as
time endures.
long may the Indian summer of your
days,
"Yet linger in the land you love so we'll
'And long may we, who no less love you,

BATTLE CRY OF
THE DEMOCRATS

ST. Louis, May 4.-Whether the demo-
crat battle cry in the coming presidential
campaign is to be "anti-trust' and
anti-imperialsm' or the old slogan "16
to T. will, in all probability, be largely
determined at the conference of the
national committee to be held at the
Planters hotel tomorrow morning. At
the same time it is stated by the COM
mittecmen that any recommendation of
conference can have no binding force
upon the party at large nor be construed
as official utterances of the democratic
party. The meeting, they assert. is not
a regular gathering of the national COM
mittee and it has no power other than
announce the opinion of those who at
tend it. The entire affair is however,
assuming an antitrust aspect and so
far there have been no voices lifted in be-
half of silver.

OUR RELATIONS
WITH ENGLAND

New York, May 24-Henry Labouchere
cables to the World from London:
whilst fully appreciating the womanly
virtues and many excellent qualities OF
the queen, l do not believe they have any
effect upon the relations between the
United States and the British empire.
The sovereigns with us reign, but do not
rule. No doubt. as a woman, the queen
enjoys the respect of all alike, within
and without the empire, but were we un-
fortunately to lose her l cannot suppose
this would in any way alter our relations
with the United States or with any other
country In these relations, sentiment
kinship, etc, play an important part.
The business of every country is to look
after it's own interests, with due regard
to what is just toward other countries,
and it is likely that in the future we shall
have our differences with the United
States. Whenever this occurs, I trust
that we and you will have sense to ar
range them by negotiations and If nego-
tiation fails, by arbitration Instead of by
cutting each others throats. Personally
l have always been great admirer of
your country anu have regretted when
any differences of opinion between us
and you have arisen, but / am not a sem
timentalist. If ever, as is possible, such
differences arise in future, l hope the
press of both countries will do it's utmost
to arraign instead of envenoming them,
whether the sovereign of the British en-
pire and the president of the republic be
examples OF all the domestic virtues or
the reverse. and whether the executive
of either country be wise or foolish. The
danger to peace at present is due to the
mania for annexation of comparatively
valueless territory that has taken pos
session Of mankind. ! hope this will be
replaced before long by peaceful COM
mercial rivalry"

THE FILIPINOS
ARE HOLDINGOUT

New York, May PA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: Four of the
Filipino commissioners called upon Cen
eral Otis but made no official PROPOSE
tions relative to surrender. They met the
American commissioners later and held
a four hours conference. 1t is said that
the Filipinos were dismayed at the terms
offered in President McKinley's cable
gram. General Pillar turned red under
his brown skin when he realized that he
was being offered nothing but vague
promises of possible representation for
his people in case of compliance with the
their arms. Every Filipino shrugged his
shoulders over the glowing prophecies
of the future, after a cessation of hos
tilities We're outlined to them by the men,
bers of the commission. They said they
asked for independence and liberty with
dignity under the protection of the
United States and We're now offered moth
ing but the Indifferent assurance that in
dividual natives ought to hold the posi-
tions under the proposed government.
The commissioners have great dread of
legislation. They will accept not a single
condition of those proposed but will re-
turn dissatisfied to Aguinaldo. Major
Zailcita. one of the Filipino commission
ers, said:
GAS the ultimate form of government
rests in the hands of the American con-
gress the present proposals are merely
provisional. The result of the nreSent
plan would be that the Americans would
be at the head of every department and
Filipino tenure of Office would depend
upon the will Of the Americans. We think
we can get better terms"
The opinion of military officials here
is that the negotiations merely encour-
age the insurgents to hold out for better
terms. General Luna is bound to con-
tinue the fight for independence. Nego-
tiations which encourage the natives to
hope to obtain great concessions may
cost the lives of many American soldiers.

Ough magistrates, were also present.

A bill has beer introduced into the As
sembly at Albany for making May 1 a holi-
day, to be called Dewey Day. This is not
the first step in that direction. Pennsyl-
vania already has a law to the same effect,
the Governor having just signed the bill
passed by both branches OF the Legislature,
although it is made applicable only to
this year. Two other States ave also, we
believe, established Dewey Day.
II our glorious war with Spain should
ever he COMMUNICATED by a general holt
day, the day OF days for that purpose is
May 1. That day set the ball a-rolling that
bowlcd down Spain. Some question may
be raised rs to giving the name OF any
man, even the name Of our great sailor,
to a public holiday, during his own lifetime.
Lincoln Day WAS established only long
after the death Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
But to this objection tho answer is that
May I would not be the celebration Of the
Admiral's birthday. but Of a great ma
tional victory, in which he was the leader,
SO that the case is not analogous to that Of
the 18th OF February. WAsHINGToN's birth
day, too, was annually celebrated in various
parts of the country for a dozen years and
more before his death.
But the main point is that it would be not
so much n hero as an idea that We should
celebrate that day. What we should glorify
on May I would be American extension be-
yond tho bounds OF this continent. The
name Dewey Day IL alIiterative and popu
lar, and the celebration would have its full
share of public homage for our great sea-
fighter; but May ! would he Expansion
Day, iurt as July 4 is Independence Day.
1t will not be desirable to suspend business
On hat day in New York as in the other
three States which have taken this step.
But with or without the repose Of n legal
holiday, the Stars and Stripes should on
May | float, in a gala commrmoration, over
the whole land. May day should always be
IA fcstal day for old as well as young.
