There is no doubt that the lstter which
Charles Francis Adams wrote to the Anti
Imperialist meeting at bridge ex-
presses the feelings of great many who
opposed the taking of the Philippines
and who wish today that they had not
been taken. Mr. Adams, himself, was
one of this number, and he Is no more
convinced now Of the wisdom of that act
than when he was opposing it. His posi-
tion now is, however, that inasmuoh as
our policy in this Philippines has
been substantially settled and is beyond
recall much more Of practical value can
be accomplished by helping to develop
to the utmost extent possible the policy
and principle of autonomy-the fact OF
native home rule-in the islands, and to
limit the Interference Of the United States
to a minimum, than by devising ways to
get out of the islands altogether. since
there is no prospect whatever that even If
@ feast BILE one should be found it woul d
be accepted by the majority of the Ameri-
can people In nutshell Mr.. Adams s
position is that the opponents of expan-
sion might as we'll make the best of the
situation inasmuch as they cannot hope

Even though one may not always agree
with Mr.. Fiske's conclusions, he is de-

his thought, and pleasure In his beautiful
English. He always makes profound
study of his subject, and 1t is sure to be
something SO suggestive and compelling
that we are never weary of following the
writer through all the mazes of argument
which seem to bring US at last to the con-
clusion that life and death and immortal

Ex-senator PETER has returned to the
Republican party on the grounds that
the money question is settled and the
Populist party is gradually losing its In
dividuality and merging itself into the
Democratic party. PETERS grounds are
sound enough but whether they are the
real reasons for his change of base
may be doubted. We should guess thai
he had become q Republican again be-
cause the tide is sstting strongly in Kan

lished new story by William Henry
johnson, entitled King or Knave, Which
WinsS 1t is an old tale of Huguenot days
sequel to The Kings Henchman,
very popular book which wa. said, by one
reviewer, to have the vigorous activity of
Weyman and the brilliant touches of
romanticism to be found in the works
of Dumas.
The present volume is of the time of
Henry of Navarro, and relates his love
affair with Gabrielle d. EstrAes, and his
efforts to obtain possession of the throne
of France.
The trend of the story gives an oppor
tunity for a vivid description of the defeat
IF the Spanish Armada and other stirring
and dramatic scenes and tragic crises.
Marlowe, Shakespeare, Sir Francis
Drake and Frobisher appear among the
dramatis personae.
The author has not been quite success
full in keeping ont all modern touches
from his style, and when he says, quot
ing Kipling, "that is another story" and
speaks of the fleet being bottled up, it
gives one little shock, the immediate
aud forcible transference from Henry of
