Brig. Gen. Charles King. who owing
to ill-health, returned home on the
transport City of Puebla, in a recent
interview said: THE situation in the
Philippines is most serious The peo-
pie of those islands will keep up a
guerrilla warfare, and there Is no tell
ing when the hostilities will cease.
They retire to the Businesses of their
mountain retreats when they are whip
ped and hide in the jungles. Subsist-
ing on practically nothing. they have
no need for a base OF supplies. 1t will
necessitate large force Of men to SUBJ
jugate them completely. The war in
the Philippines is by no means ended.

regular studies became absorbed in
politics. The elections-held quarter

and the children's parents were bitter

itself. One youthful candidate, by a
judiccus disposition OF gum, candy and
pencils, was almost unanimously elect

ents, at last awakening to the fact that
their children were fast becoming de-
moralized, strenuously objected to a
continuance of the experiment, and the
school authorities summarily aban-
doned 1t.

DROP A TEAR FOR M,KINLEY

The most perplexing question with
which congress will have to deal is that
of the application of the tariff laws Of
the United States to the Philippine ISL
ands. The government appears to be on
the horns of a dilemma in dealing with
the problem. If these islands are taken
into the fold among the other territories
Of the United States, as it is claimed I'M
der the provisions of the constitution
they must be, then the tariff laws must
apply to them equally with other possess
sions of the United States, as, for in
stance, Alaska and the products of the
Philippines, their vast quantity Of sugar,
raised and manufactured by coolie labor,
and other staple articles, must be admit
ted free of duty at ports of the United
States, as are the products of Alaska,
New Mexico or Rhode Island, and as
must be the products of Puerto Rico
This would at once arouse the violent
opposition of the great sugar interests
in the United States and would be re-
garded by the labor organizations as det-
rimental to the interests of home labor
1t might have the effect of causing the
sugar manufacturers to establish them
selves in the Philippine islands, where
they could avail themselves of cheap
coolie labor.
To create special tariff laws for the
products Of the Philippine islands would
be- In the opinion of those fearfully as

lawyers, a contravention OF the constitu-

THE GOSPEL OLE PEACE.

And now comes one Marion D. Shutter,
pastor Of the Church of the Redeemer,
a Universalist church in Minneapolis, and
expounds the doctrine Of peace on earth
and good will to all men in this wise:
81 should advise our boys In the Phil
ippines to aim low, so l should devout-
ly pray for the success of every shot and
for the final and complete suppression of
prayer would not require afterward col
umnS Of explanation in the newspapers,
and II it were ever published there would
be no need Of foot notes."
With one minister of the Gospel pray
ing that the arms Of the enemies of his
country may be strengthened, and an
other declaring that he would pray that
the unfortunate Philippine islanders may
be mortally wounded in the bowels, the
mind of the average Christian must be
somewhat perplexed as to which of these
ministers correctly interprets the teach
ings Of Christ 1t is incredible that Mr..
Shutter is speaking from the stand
point of Universalism, and 1t is equally
incredible that the Rev. Mr.. Riley spoke
the sentiment ana teachings OF the par
ticular religious denomination in which
he ministers, for both denominations hold
the belief In Christ and his teachings of
love, peace and charity. These two gen
| tlemen appear to ignore the New Tesla
ment and to have drawn their inspira-
ton from source which teaches that
the strongest must survive and the weak
er must be devoured.

principle thus adopted by this corporation

est which every self-respecting and de-

should have, in the success of the enter

1t will encourage the devotion of the men
to their life work. and will invest them
with a sense of the completeness Of their
identity with the welfare of their en-
ployers.
In recent times II has happily become
true, especially Of railroad employees. that
the foolish and altogether mischievous
sentiment that there is something antag-
onistic between the best interests of en-
ployers and employees has in g. large
measure disappeared. This movement
will materially aid in putting an end to
the dangerous fallacy It's success is as
sured beforehand. but the extent and
completeness Of that success must natu-
rally rest with the employees who are
thus presented with an opportunity for
the investment Of their savings more adj
vantageous than even the most favored
investor is likely to find at his disposal.

THE RUSSIAN CoAL FAMINE.

One OF thesmost incomprehensible oc-
currences in Europe just now is the ex-
istence of COAL famine in South Rus
sia and part or Central Russia. It seems
incredible that q country like Russia,
which. in It's enormous natural resources
nearly approaches the North American
continent, there should be a coal fam
Inc in some of the best developed and
most ancientlye settled districts And yet
the municipality OF Odessa recently for
warded a petition to the imperial govern
ment praying that the duty. of about ST. 65
per ton in Black sea ports and S2k cents
In the Baltic ports. be lifted for six
months. and this has been partially grant
ed by the temporary remission of the
greater part of the duty.
The coal IS not only urgently required
for domestic use, but is required for man
ufacturing purposes, and while there are
large beds of the inferior grade of coal
to be found In the Donetz basin, there are
neither shipping nor railroad facilities to
transport It to the points where it is re-
CURED by consumers. The backward
state of internal development In Russia
may be judged by this condition of af-
fairs, and the wisdom Of building a trans
continental railroad like the trans-Siberi-
so badly needed. may well be doubted.
