A MISLEADING PHRASE.

President Schurman, of the Philip
pines Commission, is quoted as hav-
ing remarked to correspondent that
..fOr reasons Of commerce and because
of opportunities of investment the
Philippines should remain as they
area part OF the United States.
The Philippines are not, and prob
ably never will be, "a part OF the
United States" They are no more
"a part of the United States" than
India is part OF Great Britain or
Madagascar part Of the French re-
public The fact of their transfer to
our sovereignty does not bring them
into any such relation to our country
as the phrase attributed TO Mr..
Schurnan implies. A tourist enter
ing the Philippines does not enter
the United States. Not one OF orr
insular acquisitions sustains that re-
lation. Nor is it necessary for COM
mercial or other purposes that the
Philippines should be treated as a
part Of our country. Congress has
ample power to legislate for the
Philippines, Porto Rico, Guam, and
Hawaii; it can provide for each Of
them such Government as it deems
best. 1t may find that each OF them
needs a Government differing in some
respects from any Of the others, but
we feel entirely confident that Con-
gress will not regard them as Ter
ritories like Oklahoma, Arizona, and
New Mexico embryo States growing
up to full stature and destined to
enter the family of States.
1t is important to keep up the dis
iinctiOn between our insular posses
-i0ns and those States and Territories
which! constitute the United States.
Probably no American citizen be-
lieves the time Will ever come when
the Filipinos will take part in making
our laws and elccting our Presidents.
We hope the time is not far off when,
having submitted to our lawful
authority, they will be able to take a
prominent part in governing them
selves.-Washington Post

That courtesy which characterizes differ
Ing religious denominations seems not to
prevail among some believers in the city
of Atlanta In that city there Is q Beacon
Light Mission, of which the Rev. Mr.. Payne
is superintendent. While a holiness band"
was holding service by invitation the Rev.
Mr.. Holder. a local street evangelist,
dropped in. After a time Mr.. Payne in
vited any one who felt moved to speak to
do so. Mr.. Holder was much moved in that
direction. He started out with an array
of scriptural evidence to prove that those
who believed in sanctiication were all
wrong about the "Adamic man." He was
asked to sit down. He did not. and the
sanctifcationists joined in a hymn which
drowned his voice but did not discourage
the evangelist. consequently. when the
hymn was finished he went on with his talk
ing, and more hymns were sung. but still
he talked. A woman rebuked him, whereat
he quoted ST. Paul regarding women who
speak in public with nothing on their heads.
Then Superintendent Payne invited him to
leave-to get out. One against many, pru-
dence was the better part of valor. and he
retreated with the sanctiae ca tionists at his
heels. Strange as It may tseefh.Fa patrol
man happened along, and on the complaint
of those whom he had disturbed the
evangelist was arrested and taken to the
station, where the captain heard both sides,
and as the result of the hearing decided
to hold the evangelist for trial. TO which he
gave emphatic assent, because he imagined
that he would talk it out in court. These
people evidently imagine that they possess
a very high grade Of religion.

"a Nation of shopkeepers.y

A dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland, says
that the press there, commenting on the
result of the international yacht races. say
that Great Britain is not ashamed to be
called "a nation of ~shopkeepers' after Sir
Thomas Lipton's chivalrous behavior in
New York. This is rather an odd appro-
p~riation of a phrase which has been SO often
applied contemptuously. The phrase is an
expressive OF e, and. although historic. is of
somewhat doubtful origin. 1t is generally
quoted as original with Napoleon Bona
parte. but there is no evidence that he ever
used 1t at all. 1t appears first in English In
Adam Smiths Wealth of Nations" pub
lished in 1775. That writer says: ITO found
a great empire for the sole purpose of rails
ing up a people of customers may at first
sight appear a project fit only for a nation
of shopkeepers." This was undoubtedly the
first appearance of the phrase. It's next APP
p~earance is in an Grafton on American indie
pendence delivered by Samuel Adams, of
Massachusetts. at Philadelphia in August,
1T6. The Grafton is published in full in a
recent work entitled The Worlds Best
Orations." 1t is an eloquent and patriotic
address and in fine literary form. In one
passage, after reciting some of the wrongs
done the colonies by Great Britain, the ora
tor said:
Men who content themselves with the
semblance of truth n a display of words
talk much of our obligation to Great Britain
for protection. Had she a single eye to our
advantage? A nation of shopkeepers are
very seldom so disinterested.
An Introductory sketch to the speech says:
ut was translated into French and pub
lished in Paris, and it is believed that
Napoleon borrowed from it the phrase "a
nation of shopkeepers' to characterize the
English As the speech was a savage ar
raignment of Great Britain it may have
been translated into French for political
reasons. Mr.. Adams biographer says it
was translated into German in 177S, but
makes no mention OF a French translation.
Bartlett in his Familiar Quotations
credits to Barere, a French orator, in 1894
the sentence Let Pitt then boast of his
victory to his nation of shopkeepers."
Barere probably borrowed the expression
from Adams. The latter may have bor-
rowed 1t from Adam Smith. who used it a
year before Adams did. but it is doubtful
If he had seen Smiths book before he used
1t. 1t will be observed that Adams used it
derisively. while Smith did not. However,
the expression has ceased to nave any sig
n~iicance. The British are no more a nation
of shopkeepers than the Americans are, and
history shows that as lighters either of
them is the equal of any other people in the
world.

INCORRECT SCHOOL FIGURES.

The assertion that nothing can lie like
figures in the Chicago Times-Herald which
purport TO be the school enrolment of a
number OF cities. Indianapolis in the list is
put down at s.000-a mistake 50 obvious to
any one who knows anything about the pop
ulation Of the city that an editor of intelli-
gence should have detected it at once. AS
a matter Of fact. the school enrolment of
Indianapolis-which includes all children be-
tween the ages of six and twenty-one years
lis 10000. The attendance averages $1,000,
but sometimes runs TO a. and even 81, OO0.
The enrolment. of course, is always much
larger than the attendance, because COM
paratively few remain in the schools after
the age Of eighteen. and many leave earlier.
the compulsory education law applying only
to those under fourteen years. When the
attendance reaches well toward $1,000, how
ever. 1t shows pretty conclusively not only
that the public schools are patronized by a
surprising majority of pupils in preference
to parochial or other private schools, but
that the educational interests are well cared
for. 1t Is not necessary to study the fig
ures to appreciate the fourishing state OF
the schools, for every one familiar with
their conditions knows that they were never
50 well organized and progressive as now,
but 1t is satisfactory to know that the large
attendance confirms the general estimate.
In view Of the blunder made In the In
dianapolis case no confidence can be placed
In the other figures presented by the Chi
cago paper, otherwise some comparisons
might be Drawn. The enrolment of Greater
New York Is given as 493, $40; Chicago lac
tual school membership. 900. 351; Philadel-
phia (estimated). 147, 900; Boston, 5000; Buff
falo. 1900; Pittsburg. 3S,S79; Minneapolis.
400; Milwaukee, 34,324; Detroit, SO, 421;
Kansas City, 24,24e; New Orleans, 23.Sss; st.
Paul, 23,2s4; Omaha, 1899. OF these, Phila-
delphia is presumably far too low, and un-
less the rate of increase in population is
much lower in Kansas City, New Orleans,
Detroit, ST. Paul and Milwaukee, they are
also wrong. The Chicago statistical man
should try again.

carried the day. and then began that beg
ging for contribution from the public at

have taught the New Workers a lesson.

to honor Dewey, as they were ready TO
honor Grant. but when 1t comes to build

subscriptions on the outside. although the
p~erpetuation of that work of art is much
to be desired.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

Exactly; this is what might have been
expected. "A committee of New Workers
has been organized for the purpose of Sc
curing a permanent Dewey arch in place of
the temporary structure erected on Fifth
avenue in honor of the admiral. and at the
first meeting II was decided ito make the
arch as much of a national creation as pos
sible," and subscriptions are to be solicited

that 81 ooo.o 90 will be needed for the pur-
pose. The history of the Grant monument

One of the sons Of the late Henry Hilton
is contesting his fathers will on the ground
that undue influence was used upon his
parent when the latter's mind was weak
ened by illness. Hilton's estate is valued
by the executors at 5000. 900. but 1t Is said
1t will reach much higher figures when
finally figured up. The contestant, who is
his fathers namesake, received a bequest Of
only s25, 600, no reason being given for thus
cutting him off. The four other children
share equally with each other. receiving the
full value Of the estate. There was always
a mystery of rather an unpleasant sort in
regard to the manner In which the late Mr..
Hilton acquired a considerable part Of his
great property, but with his heirs already
quarreling over it the method Of its scatter
ing is not likely to be hidden.
