From Manila.

The Coptic brought several letters
from Manila to our friends in the
Philippines. Colonel Jim Sherwood
found Manila over. crowded wit b
speculators who got on the ground
floor before he reached the post. He
was packing up to go to Iloilo when
he wrote, where he hoped to find an
opening. 1t is safe to predict that
Colonel "Jim" will be among us
again in few months.
Captain Murray had letter from
his son who is doing we'll and is in
the custom house service of the U.
S. at Manila. Young Murray writes
that there is absolutely no opening
at present for anybody in the me-
chanical or professional lines at Ma
nila. The Filipinos can do every
thing and do it much cheaper than
any white man can. Lots of 'disap.
pointed adventures are hanging
around wondering how to get back
to civilization. Any concert hall
company or lively vaudeville show
would coin money in Mauila. Even
the saloon business is over-crowded
but there is still golden chance in
Manila for little high "kicking'
aud the singing of the latest popu
lar Chinese American" songs
Sometimes there is yet very ho
time in the old town of Manila,

himself to be a past master in the

The response to the toast of
"Larrie," 30 much diffidence was
shown on the part Of the young
bachelors that it was unanimously
"passed on" to that bright and in
valuable "St. Martini" the true son
of his gifted father, who ever re-
spends to the call of public duty
and duly appreciated the honor,
the lustre OF the ladies casts upon
him when he is in their proud and
happy service.
In the absence of Mr.. Humphries
Mr.. Horace Wright was fette ,td wit
the toast OF the "Bar." He thought
that the wide world love for the poet
was due to the fact that Burns
springing from the people, knew the
people and spoke to them in their
own language and stirred their
hearts to love, honesty and patri-
otism.

THURSDAY. JAN. 26. 1899.

Our friends across the "Pond"
will be pleased to learn that during
the month of January 1862 Asiatics
were imported into the Hawaiian
Islands. The overwhelming major
ity of the immigrants we're planta-
tion slaves. Plantation stocks are
booming and the dividends earned
through the "sweat OF the brows"
of the heatben coolies will be highly
satisfactory to the "Christian" stock

minded his audience that the Queen
owed her seat on the British throne
to the fact of her Scotch descent, 30
that Scotland not only ruled herself
but the whole Imperial British
world, and even had hand in
directing Germany through the
Queens grandson. Mr.. Kenny made
a pleasing and happy allusion to
President McKinley's indirect con-
nection with the evenings festivities
on account of kinship, and whether
he was Scotch or Irish or both by
descent, he made a very good and
illustrious American. He concluded
by purposing toast to "Scotchmen,
the bone and backbone of this Bri-
tish Empire"
DR.. A. w. Sinclair eloquently and
wittily responded to the toast of the
"Land of Burns" interspersing his
bright remarks with anecdotes fash
ing with fun aud humor,
Rev. Alexander Macintosh with
feeling aud pathos responded for
the "Land we live in" He spoke of
the changing conditions of the coun-
try and the necessity for all to work
together in harmony for it's advance
ment if advantage was to be taken
of the opportunities now offered.
He paid high tribute to the Ha-
waiian race whose marked attribute
was genuine generosity, and not the
hypocritical tender of hospitality as
with the Spaniards who place every

tention that you should accept moth

coming more business like in their
methods. He took advantage OF the
superb balmy moonlight night to
draw a climatic contrast between
Hawaii and the rugged mountains
of Scotland on January night.

These are made on the prin-
ciple of the famous French
cdfetaeres. Inside of the coffee
pots is an adjustable cylinder
which can be raised or lower
ed and maintained in position
at will. Having affixed your
straining cloth and raised the
cylinder to the point you re-
quire, insert the ground coffee
into it and pour on your boil
ing water. Let it rest for five
minutes or so and the result
will be a perfect cup of
coffee, delightfully."- fresh, frag-
rant and stimulating and rich
in color.
These TELEhCOPIC

several sizes ranging from a

AS we have not an extremely

PROMOTIONS ~ rnE VAR.
Views OF Officers serving Under Admiral
- Dewey.

boWeys
New York, Dec. 90. In view of the
discussion over promotions in the navy
for meritorious service during the late
war, tho following plan. which has just
been received from Manila and evil
IDENTIFY represents tho views of u large
number Of officers serving under Ad-
iniral Dewey, will prove interesting:
When men are recommended for pro-
motion for conspicuous and meritori-
GUS conduct in BATTLE" their rewards
should be liberal, their benefits gener-
Gus, but not at tho expense of other
people, causing jealousies and heart-
burnings.
When an officer is advanced for meri-
torious conduct in battle:
Let him become an additional
number, both in his own grade and
throughout his naval career.
2-Let him receive, at all times, the
highest pay Of that grade.
3-When retired, let him be retired
with the rank and retired pay of the
next higher grade.
Then, instead of retarding the pro-
motion of any one, he would benefit all
below him, by giving them u number.
He would take nothing from those he
passed over, but would remain addi-
tional until retired, always a marked
man and never interfering with any
ones promotion. s,,
When an additional man reaches the
head OF . list, let him, DO promoted with
and at the same time as the man neYt
above him.
The highest pay of his grade would
be suitable reward. If he is al sea,
it would be nothing; but on shore, he
could never be punished with waiting
orders pay.

DELAWARE COLLEGE AND OUR SCHOOLS
Delaware College Review.

Delaware College Review.
III Delaware College in Offering free
tuition to all Delawareans becomes
part of the system for providing free
public instruction. To make the useful
ness of the college ms wide reaching as
possible it is necessary that close
articulation between her work and
that of the schools BIO brought about.
The college has been making expedient
concessions to the schools in the way
of accepting conditions that do not
unfit young man for protitably UNDER
taxing her work. 1t is found that year
after year more of these concessions
may be Withdrawn as the, werk of the
schools is steadily advancing. In order
to bring about closer relations and to
promote the mutual helpfulness of the
schools and the college, the science
teachers Of the college are preparing to
offer their services to the schools Of the
State to help along the nature study
movement that promises to add so
much to the effectiveness of school life
by bringing into play all the activities
OF the child's mind. The college staff
OF nature study workers is now plan
ming series of lectures and model
lessons and will soon be ready to an
nounce the order Of work they will be
prepared to offer.

prices which left more than fair
margin Of profit, there was no induce
ment for the British producer to Join
his interests with those of his fellow
producers. With the spread OF manu-.
facture in other countries, however,
coupled las has generally been the
case) with the raising of high tariff
barriers against our wares, conditions
have altered radically. The worlds
consumption has increased, OF course,
with the growth Of population, but it
has not progressed pari passu with the
productive capacity of ourselves and
our rivals on the Continent, in
America, and the East. Consequently
prices have been reduced and profits
have been narrowed down to point
upon which tho manufacturer OF two
or three decades ago would have re-
fused to work. The downward move
ment has not even yet been stayed,
and it is in this emergency that British
manufacturers have come to recognize
that combination is not SO bad thing
after all. Though it may not lead,
save in exceptional circumstances, to
a complete control Of prices, the union
of n number of producers must yet
exercise steadying effect, while the
reduction in working expenses result
ing therefrom is likely to be con-
siderable. This, in fact, is the basis
upon which the recent textile combines
have been arranged. We may, perhaps,
make an exception Of the itwo7sewing-
cotton groups, which are in a position
to impose their own terms upon the
consumer, because at present they, con-
troll something like so or so per cent of
the worlds annual output of cotton
thread, and they constitute menace,
therefore, which it cannot be crafty
ing to contemplate. But, speaking
generally, our fiscal policy should save
us from the more notorious abuses of
the combination principle which have
sprung up around some of the Ameri-
can Institutions In tho United States
the high tariff is a material aid to the
successful operations OF most trusts.
Here, on the other hand, there is
nothing to keep out the foreigner who
secs a chance of Undertaking. the
British manufacturer; and an abuse of
their advantage by the Goats and
English Sewing Cotton companies
would afford the German and French
manufacturers an opportunity which
they would not he slow to embrace,
and would inevitably lead to a sudden
accession of production in both those
countries. This is our consolation,
therefore, even in this threatening
case. For the rest, combination Is
certain to raise prices slightly even
when only partial, and the consumer
cannot be expected to like, that.
