The suggestion that Congressman Liv-
ingston may contest with Senator Bacon
for the latter's seat, making expansion the
issue is probably not well grounded The
congressman from the Fifth is a pretty
shrewd politician; too shrewd to suppose
that the people of Georgia are expansion
lists. and that they would elect him to
the Senate on an expansion platform
Should the Hon. Lon" ever get to the
Senate, it would probably not be upon
any platform at all, but upon his ability
to pull wires.

"rhe whitc MANS burden. :,

From the Buffalo Express.
Take UP the White Mans burden,
Nor STOP TO mourn and sob
The filing of the office,
The giving of the job,
Too small now grows your country.
The places won't go round;
Among those new-caught people
New chances must be found.
Take up the White Mans burden
Those fiuttered folk and wild
Know naught of holding Office,
As devil, man, or child.
While We have such a surplus
'Twoufd really be a shame
To let this 1chance slip past you.
Increase your power and fame!
Take up the White Mans burden
Your duty bids you rule
OF course, you do not want to,
But, then, you're not a fool.
You've often proved your fitness
In caucus and on stump.
The Lord made Anglo-Saxons
To make poor natives hump.

A PATTY MEAsURE.

The army reorganization bin may be

itating about passing it, The President
practically tells the Senate that the bill
must be passed. even if it has to be made
a strictly party measure.
There is undoubtedly need Of radical
changes in the army. The war with Spain
has made that apparent, but it is far from
certain that the bill passed by the House,
and now pending ia the Senate, is just
what is wanted ore of the objections TO
it is that il provides for an army Of 1O0,5 800
men. That is 5000 more than there viii
be any need for as soon as the Islands OBJ
tained from Spain are quoted Il is true
that the President is given power to re-
duce the army 10 $1,000 men, but would 1t
not be the better plan to fix the army at
$1,000 and give the President authority 10
increase 1t, for short time. when abso-
mtely necessary to do so? At first thought
there does not seem to be much difference
in the plan suggested and the bill, but
there is great deal of difference. If the
army should be fixed at 100. 500 men it
ed but IL it should he fixed at 10000 men.
and the President given authority TO in
crease it 10 $1,000 or 100000 men for six
months or a year, at the expiration Of the
time specified the reduction would have
to take place 50 that the danger of sad

nently would be avoided.

pines and at the same time to take care
OF our interests at home
The bill will be passed, of course. but il
may be greatly changed from what il was
when 1t passed the House. It is probable
the President isn't concerned so much
about the changes that may be made in

about to start for Manila, it was publish

The Philippine islanders think they are
fighting for independence. when the fact
probably is that they are fighting against
it. If they were to win-which is out of
all probability-Aguinaldo or some one of
his class would be the dictator, a military
government would be established, and be-
fore a great while the territory would be
broken up and divided between European
count tries.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield Republican Qnd), dis
GUESSING "the next step" says: "The
United States has assumed contro, of the
Philippines. That step is irrevocably
taken. We must look forward and not
backward. What is the best thing to do
now? The first imperative duty is to re-
nounce a war of subjugation. Offensive
fighting on The part of our troops should
be forbidden. If they have begun to turn
the repulse of the Filipinos into an ag-
gressive campaign, that campaign should
be instantly halted. To pursie ito fol-
low up and fight down The island forces
as rebe.s. and make good our title by force
is TO plunge into criminal and ruinous
tyranny"
Russia is great and rich in natural re-
sources, but she is a country of imperial
ism. The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep) says:
Russia is beset by famine that all the
efforts of the government have thus far
failed to relieve Yet Russia has a rich
undeve.oped domain capable of producing
bread for all her own people and a large
part of Europe beside. Is it any wonder
the Car is moved 70 favor peace and a
cessat ion of the burdensome armament
making of his own country and his neigh
bors? War and famine are near of kin"
The newspaper wits are now having fun
with Aguinaldo. The Washington Post
Qnd) says: From present indications
Aguinaldo will not succeed in being even
the step-father of his country" The Biz
mingham News Dem) says; "Aguinaldo
no doubt realizes now that government
founded on a gold whistle and an overpro-
duction of nerve cannot last" The Nash
vile American (Dem) says: The Philip
pine Yellow Bellies never saw war until
Saturday and Sunday, and now they know
t. is he'll"
What is the status of our present war
in the Philippines? The Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal (Dem) says: IF the Filipinos
are still subjects of Spain, as technically
they probably are then Spain is still max
ing war on us when her subjects fire on
our troops, and Gen. Otis has a right to
go after the beligerents wherever he may
deem it advisable The which he win
doubtless do, whether or not it please the
hair-splitting quidnuncs."

The anti-spitting ordinance proposed by
Alderman farrell deserves to be passed.
Splitting in street cars and public halls
Is not only filthy and disgusting but is a
menace to health. Splitting on the sidewalk,
even, is indefensible. The man who must
necessarily spit ought 70 be made to walk
TO the edge of he pavement and spit in
the gutter. That. indeed is the law in
two or three Of the small cities of Eu-
rope. But such cleanliness of personal ha-
bits could hardly be enforced here at once.
There is no reason, though, why cleanh-
ness should not be enforced in cars, halls
and similar places. Street car conductors
are arresung officers; If janitors and ush-
ers were given power to enforce the anti
splitting ordinance the nuisance could be
speedily abated to considerable degree.

The Herald publishes a Washington
story which goes to illustrate the potency
of Senator Hanua's pun at Washington
The army bureau Of ordnance was re-
quested some time ago to test a certain
type of cannon, with view to Its adop-
ton. Experiments and tests were made
at a cost Of $4,000 and the experts of the
bureau reported TO the department that
the gun was no good. Notwithstanding
this direct and very pointed report, The
war department has just closed a con-
tract with a concern for the manufacture
of gun of the type rejected, at a cost
of $4,000. 1t is said that Senator Hanna
desired the department to set aside the
adverse report of it's experts and give out
the contract, and that chat course was
accordingly taken

Cunadn,n New stnmp.

Philatellsts have been besieging the Of
fees Of the Canadian postmaster general
with regard to tho new cent stamp,
which presents II map OF the world, with
the British empire colored red. 1t seems
that in the first sheets which were printed
the sea was Of delicate lavender color
but since then the sea has been turned out
a very light blue. Stamp collectors were
naturally anxious to know which color the
sea was to take on permanently. The an
swer which the department has given is
that both colors viii be printed, and so
neither color need be treasured up as being
of any particular value.
In this connection it may be mentioned
that a short time ago curious report got
abroad in Montreal to the effect that the
English government had requested the
Canadian government to withdraw this
stamp from circulation. The deputy post
master general, when questioned, said
there was absolutely no truth in the report.

The friends of Father Philip Williams

see him in prison, but in order to spare
the old mans feelings he denies any rela-

Congressman Eddy. snowshoe..

Congressman Eddy of Minnesota owns
pair OF snowshoes or, as they call them
in his country, ''skees. During the re-
cent blizzard Mr.. Eddy took down the
snowshoes from the wall where they do
duty as unique decoration and fastened
them on his feet. Then he sailed forth
from his home on Columbia Heights and
was at once the admiration and the envy
of all the inhabitants of that section.
While the rubbered and booted and leg
ginged population was struggling down
Fourteenth street, seeking the railway
track or any other track that offered the
path of least resistance, Mr.. Eddy was
skimming along over the drifts and down
into the valleys like a bird in the air.
His tall gaunt figure was outlined against
the sky, but the snowshoes gave him the
poetry of motion. Occasionally he would
loom up at the top of drift 10 or 10 feet
in tho air, and then he would sink down
out of sight between two great hillocks Of
snow. He went with great speed too
