Sorry He Said 1t.

There are SO many things in this wicked
world we would rather not have said, says
the Louisville Times. Mean things, spiteful
things, unfee,ing things. reckless things
which trickie over the lips before we
realize it. An estimable man in town has
a wife who is good woman, though she
can never be a candidate al a beauty
show. He admires her, however, and as
he is the one TO be pleased, her lack of
loveliness is a small matter. One day he
was talking with some friends about his
disposition.
NO" said he, candidly, "you rarely see
me get worked up, nervous and cross I
am the easiest person in the world to
please"
zone glance at your wife shows that"
replied a dear friend, who is the sou, of
polSteness, and who, poor wretch, really
meant to imply she did not have the
looks of a nagged or brow-beaten woman,
and must get on easily with him. But, oh,
it didn't sound that way, and that man
would gladly have given $40 down for a
hole in the ground just about that time.

FLUsH TIMES N ONO.

An Observant Georgian who is N ono
believes the chances are excellent for the
election of John r. Mclean to the gov
ernorship. Up to few days ago there
was an element OF uneasiness IN the Nc
Lean camp. Then there came change.
Mclean knocked in the head Of his bar J.
and the announcement was made That his
sister would become the bride Of Admiral
Dewey. These incidents produced mark
ed effect upon the campaign. The tappins
Of the bari seems to have been purposely
delayed until almost the eve of the cleo
ton; but beginning last Thursday, IS
said. the stream Of crisp new 81, 81 and
s. bills has flowed increasingly in the prin-
cipal cities and the districts where the
most good may be accomplished for cash
in hand.
Just how much money will be turned
loose in Ohio for votes cannot Of course
be told: but there IS apparent authority
for the statement that Of Democratic
money there will be s. 90 for each ward
in Cleveland, 81 600 for each ward in Gin
cinnau 81 800 90 5000 for each ward in
Dayton and Columbus. and about $1,000
per ward in other cities, if 50 much should
pc needed. Special appropriations have
been made, according to report, for tax
ing care of Senator Hanna's own precinct,
and the precinct of the President in Cam
ton.
1t is not to be supposed that the Repub-
licans are a whit behind in the game Of
pouring money into Ohio. The probabilities
are that they will turn loose much m re of
il than the Democrats The latter have
not a great deal more than the Mclean
bari to depend upon, while the former
have several barls, counting those Of
Hanna and various protected interests.
And besides these sources Of revenue they
have lately bled every government official
who could be reached by them for vol
untary contributions" to help save Ohio.
The Civil Service Commission ruled THAI
the circular of the Ohio committee was
clearly in violation of the law but ii Is
practically sure that many a government
employee handed out his contribution" in
the fear that if ne did not the loss Of his
job would be the result. The money used
in the Ohio fight, therefore win probably
aggregate a very large sum; and much of
it will no doubt be used for purposes OF
corruption.

THE PHILIPPINE NsuRREoTIoN.

Is the instruction in The Philippines
nearing lis end? Admiral Dewey answers
this question in the affirmative. II he has
any influence on pubic sentiment it will
be exer, ed in favor Of retaining perma-
nent possession Of the Islands.
In an interview Immediately after The
Philippine Commission had submitted its
report TO the President. the Admiral said
that there had never been a time since
the hist gun was fred al Man la when We
could have wi, hdraWn from the islands,
and that the reasons why the United
States should retain permanent control OF
them were unanswerabie. The Admiral
further said that, in his opinion, based
upon reports from The Phil ppiues, he bot
tom is rapidly dropping out Of the insur-
raoton. The Tagalos are beginning to see
that 1t viii be better for them to be un
der American protection. and consequent
ly they are deserving Aguinaldo's stand
ard in large numbers.
il may be that the Admiral speaks a
little too strongly when he says the iusur-
rection is very neer its end.
Aguinaldo appears to be stin making
pretty good fight, and those VINO are re-
turning from Manila do not seem 10 think
the end of the war is yet in sight. san,
the Admiral ought to be excellent author
ity in respect to the feeling among the in
surgents. If he is r ght, and the end of
the instruction is apparent, no time should
be lost in establishing stable and liber-
al government in the islands. And the
greatest care ought TO be taken in the Sc
le on of officials. Men should be c osen
WHO would give the Filipinos a good I'M
preston of our government. and who
would assist them in getting an under
standing of ma ters pertaini g to govern
ment. They should be permitted 10 man
age their own affairs as soon as they are
qualified to do so. There is no reason why
this government should exercise more than
a protecting care over them after they
have been prepared for government
