missloners made q second offer based on q
wholly different ground. Ought we, they
asked themselves, to exhibit less llberality
in 1898 toward Spain, the discoverer Of
our country and once the the mistress OF
the largest part Of It, than American diplo-
matists evinced toward Mexico in ls4S
Was not Spain as much straitened
financially and as deserving OF generous
sympathy in her hour OF humiliation
and dismemberment as was Mexico

more honorable, and more worthy OF

did in the Treaty Of Guadaloupe Hidalgo.
and acquire title to territory by
purchase rather than by conquesti We
gave eighteen million dollars for California
and New Mexico, which, in 1s4S. did not
contain one hundred thousand inhabitants,
including Indians, nor single important
town. Our commissioners at Paris gave
but twenty million dollars for the whole
Philippine archipelago; the sum would
have been derisory price for Manila alone,
which is universally acknowledged to be
the finest city reared by Europeans In the
Far East. Insignificant as the purchase
money appears when compared with the
property acquired, it formed, when con-
verted into pesetas. a welcome contribu-
tion to the depleted Spanish treasury.
In word. the Philippines were ours by
conquest. but we chose to take them over
by purchase. Are there any Americans
who wish to show themselves less mag
nanimous to-day than their fathers were
half century ago?

THE PROSPERITY SENATOR JONES

The Workers Prosperous. but His Friends
Unable to Get Rich by LoafnE.
From the Richmond Times.
Senator Jones. Chairman OF the Chicago Demo
cratic party. returned to this country from Europe
few days ago. and proceeded at once to unbosom
himself to the American people He said that all Of
this talk about prosperity WAS ridiculous. and that
the country was not prosperous Now. for any man
to stand up in the OF the American people and
tell them that they are not prosperous. when the
country Is in such rush and tide of business as was
heard Of before. is simply to discredt himself
with all observAnt men.
But in point of fact Senator Jones not suffering
from such an eItravagAnt deluson, after all; what
he means ia that the calamity shouters who sit
around waiting for the Government to make them
rich are not prospering. His ideas OF prosperity
centre in and revolve around them. Unless they
can yet cash to buy whskey and tobacco while they
gossip about tho court house in regard to the
try going to ruin because the niggers won't work"
Senator Jones imagines that the country 10 the

North Carolina is reported to have said to the

1t is of no consequence, in his opinion, that the
negro laborers who produce tho cotton about which
they are slwayr Cabling getting better wages
than they ever got In their lives. and have clean
shirts to wear Sunday and able to give their
bsrefooted children shoes. It is of no consequence,
in his opinion that the great industries of the coun
try are paying their employees the best wages they
ever received, and that every who 10 willing to
work get work with the best wages that the
world has ever known to be paid This part Of the
population cuts no figure in the estimation of Mr
Jones and his kind. much they talk about gov

In1itinR pIsastsr to EpRland.

From the London Court Journal.
The fact that Mr.. Kipling has presented the copy.
right OF his poem " Tho Old Issue" to the nation,
has suggested the idea to some minds that the Poet
Laureate should make a rule OF TO lowing the sAme
generous course. Certainly. Mt Austin should ceie-
brate either the America Cup race the South
African troubles with the same strr ng patriotism.
Whether he should give HIS work to tho world. OF
not is . matter difaoult to decide. considering the
peculiar "ofhciAl" position which poets laureate
occupy. We believe that Er. Austin is last publica-
ton "JAmoson's Ride" and it is almost time for
him 10 write its sequel.

Again the State Board of Charities.

The continual sentimental interference OF
the State Board OF Charities with the dis
cipline Of the institutions In It's charge has
always been a weak spot in our State Gov
ernment. The members Of this board are
men and women Of high character and
good intentions. serving without salary,
and undoubtedly deeply interested In their
work. But in their official capacity they
have often seemed exasperatngly des titute
of common sense.
The blame for it all really rests not with
the members Of the Board, but upon the
Governors who appointed them. Instead
OF selecting for the ofllce-now, under our
revised Constitution, a post Of power and
sponsibility-poope of practical expert
ence in the management Of semi-penal in
stitutions, our Executives have, by a we'll
meaning but unfortunate perversity, almost
invariably chosen people OF wealth or social
Importance, elderly amateur philanthro-
pists, drawing-room writer's upon sociology,
and similar folk who have ever been the
prey OF sick-faced convicts with their whlnes
OF woe, and OF the unceasing and unblushing
impostures OF yellow journalism.
The silly and harmful policy Of the State
Board of Charities has centred upon the
question OF corporal punishment. The
statute forbids the infliction Of corporal
| punishment in prisons and in all the insti-
| tutons under the care Of the State Super
intendent of Prisons. 1t does not, however,
forbid it in the Homes" &c, which are
occupied, for the most part by juvenile
| offenders and are given over to the State
| Board OF Charities. The reason for the dis
| tincton originally existing in the minds
| of the legislators seems to be that in
prisons drastic punishments. like contne-
ment in dark cells, are allowed, while
mutinies and other outbreaks can be sup
pressed at the cost, if necessary, of the lives
of the offenders. On the other hand though
punishments OF this grave nature would be
improper when applied to boys or young
women. discipline must be maintained in
the one case as in the other, and it ought
not to be seriously questioned that times
do arise when youthful criminals should
feel the smart of the cane.
While the State Board Of Charities has
never, SO far rs We know, broadly forbidden
corporal punishment In ali State institu-
tons it has discouraged it and, in a gen
eral way, has censured the use Of force In
preserving order. Usually the mere fact
that the superintendent of house OF
refuge has whipped vicious boy or
chained him to bedpost has been sum.
cient cause for formal and pro-
longed investigation by the State Board
OF Charities. The procedure of the board
Is matter OF sustained and unhappy
record. There are first a series OF
articles under big headlines In one
or two yellow journals detailing the
handcunlng of boy. the fact. that he has
been locked up on bread and water. or has
perhaps been sprporally punished. The

And rounding to so noiselessly
Dropped anchor in the ring.

Chorus: Whore did you come fromt
Next day our worthy Commodore
A challenge did indite
As fair and free and frank and bold
As any man could write.

He would sail his Yankee yacht
Against his yachts and schooners
OF size he cared not what.
Chorus: Whore did you come fromf

And we'ro the only Yankees here
To represent our Nation
