4NOTHER CRISIS.

The situation in the Philippines is
again interesting, almost as interesting
as it was awhile ago, when we were told
that the end was at hand. Now we are
| told by responsible newspaper men at
| Manila that, owing to official dispatches
from Manila made public in Washing
| ton, the people of the United States
| have not received a correct impression
of the situation in the Philippines, but
| that these dispatches have presented an
ultraoptimistic view that Is not shared
by the general officers in the field.
They believe 1.-The dispatches err in the
declaration that the situation is well in
hand and in the assumption that the
insurrection can be speedily ended with
out a greatly increased force" They
think ''the tenacity of the Filipino pur-
pose has been underestimated and that
the statement 10 unfounded that volun-
teers are wiling to engage in further
service" They add: 1.-THE censorship
has compelled us to participate in this
Misrepresentation by excising or alter
ing uncontroverted statements of facts
on the plea, as General Otis stated, that
they would alarm the people at home
or have the people of the United States
by the ears"
So far so bad But the Washington
story is more cheering. 1t is let out
there that the Philippine commission,
or at least so much of it as remains at
Manila since the departure of President
Schurman and Admiral Dewey, has
been unrelaxing in the effort to restore
the confidence of the natives and aid
military operations by inducing defec-
lions among Aguinaldo's followers.
is said, than the public is acquainted
with, for not only have the United
States authorities been able to secure
the unqualified adhesion of the natives
of the more important islands outside
of Luzon, in the Philippine group, but
even in that island they have steadily
encroached upon what was regarded as
purely insurgent territory, and are ar
ranging for the establishment of full
civil governments in some of the prov
inces of the islands wherein Aguinaldo
has heretofore been strongest. Because
this is to be accomplished by peaceful
means and with the full assent of the
residents of the provinces, the admins
tration feels that it has cause for graf
ification.
A telegram from General Otis men
lions continued heavy rains, cyclonic
storms And neither the State nor the
War department has received any word
about Agunaldo's suing for peace.
Perhaps it is safe to conclude that the
war with our little brown brothers isn't
yet quite over.

CoNTRIBUToRY NEGLIGENCE.

If Judge Sterling B. Stoney Of Ken
lucky has correctly stated the law in de-
Gliding a divorce case 1t behooves men
who are thinking of getting married to
look before they leap. And if he hasn't
it does. In the case before Judge Stoney
a divorce was sought by husband on
the ground that his wife was an hab-
itual drunkard The husband had been
widower for less than four months
when he married the defendant. All his
relatives and ten dlsinterested neighbors
gave evidence against her. Neverthe-
less, the judge declined to dissolve the
marriage, saying: Such precipitancy in
marriage implies want OF ordinary
care in making a proper selection OF a
wife. 1t is an evidence of contributory
negligence on his part. If he has been
injured or disappointed the reason Is
that he has lacked prudence. Marriage
ID not an experiment. 1t is solemn,
sacred compact, to be entered into SOD
erly, discreetly, the fear of God 1t
is a contract for better or for worse.
If people who get unhappily married
are going to be charged with and held
responsible for contributory negligence
when they want a divorce their fix Will
indeed be discouraging one. Perhaps
if they can show that they We're tempo
rarily insane when they were negligent
their punishment may be mitigated.

Such hat must be big enough to set
well down on the head. The quill should
be put through an opening in the scarf
big enough so that though when the
quill is in place it is firm, it can be
easily withdrawn. Otherwise no hat
box made could accommodate the length
of the quill.
Almost as characteristic of this sum
mer Is the type of hat shown IN the ac-
companying Illustration. 1t is on the
English walking hat order, but its col

be due to the sharp competition of the

The New York Times recalls a story
OF Judge Martin Grover of Troy who
used to be a leader in his party and
was at one time approached by young
citizen who wished to be nominated to
the State assembly. The shrewd old
judge had certain doubts about him,
which he expressed somewhat freely,
and yet he was willing to afford him a
trial. He therefore addressed the aspir-
ant in this way: young man, if you
will give me your word that you won't
steal when you get to Albany, I'll see
what kin be done about sendin' you
there" The young aspirant drew him
self up with great dignity and respond
ed: Judge Grover, 7 go to Albany I'M
pledged, or don't go at ALL"

DREYFus is PARDoNED.

Dreyfus has been pardoned. The all
nounceInent need create no surprise
He wanted an acquittal rather than a
pardon. He wanted justice instead
OF favor But justice was denied
him, except in this: He received the
benefit of an open trial; the emptiness
OF the prosecution was revealed to the
world: the malice, aye the self inter
est of the accusers could not be denied;
the trial was a vindication of the Jew
If the verdict was not.
Even the plant tools of militarism
who prosecuted, prosecuted and passed
Judgment upon Dreyfus. those who
survived the qualms of conscience and
remained in France through the sec
ond trial, were willing that he should
be pardoned provided he promised to
remain away from the larger cities of
France during the next few years. They
knew he was innocent when they tried
to swear his life, his name, his liberty
away. They know it now. If they be-
lieve him guilty why should they con-
sent to his pardon? They care nothing
for him or his people. They would
insist upon his further degradation
and punishment if they dared. The
reason they dare not is on account of
the revelations of the courtmartial at
Rennes.
President Loubet is entitled to the
gratitude of all France for this exer-
else Of his executive clemency. He has
done all that lies in his power to re-
move from the fairly good record of
France in the last decade one of the
foulest blots ever left by the hand of
conspiracy. A pardon is not an ac-
quittal. But a conviction secured by
fraud and fear, based on bigotry and
perjury, needs but the addition of
personal liberty and the guarantee of
security from further prosecution to
give it all the force and character of
an acquittal.

public men; it is generally deplored, by

the erection of scare boards and auto

there any doubt that somehow, by pop

TOO oLD-FAsHlONED.

It has been possible to trace the en-
croachment of Englishmen upon the
Transvaal for twenty years or more.
These simple minded, industrious, fru-
gal Dutch farmers have prospered
wonderfully and, much as they have
kept to themselves, the outside world
has marveled at their good fortune.
That it was not due altogether to
their well known habits of thrift be-
came more apparent as their reluc-
lance to have commercial intercourse
with other nations became more pro-
nounced. Then the world began TO
learn of the remarkable richness of
that region, not in mineral wealth
alone, but in the fertility of the soil
and the superiority of climatic condi-
tons for profitable crops. Men rea-
soned that while Dutch industry has
accomplished much, the Introduction of
modern ways and appliances. the es-
adjustment of more progressive trade
relations and the encouragement of
outside capital to locate and develop
the country would benefit the Trans
vaal, help mankind and do the Beers
no particular harm. No nation acted
upon this line of reasoning. OF course,
the English crowded in; they couldn't
be kept out. But the Beers went on
about their business. BY and by the
Englishmen undertook to. interest their
government in the Transvaal They
failed. They persisted They got into
trouble with the Beers, but no interna-
tional complications ensued They
planned a raid They even. got up a
small war, and caused Kruger no end
of trouble. They finally enlisted the
services of British soidiery, but it was
driven out and no further effort was
made TO deprive the Beers of their
chosen land Now the Outianders are
nearer their goal than they ever were.
War seems imminent, according to dis
patches from the front The Outland-
ers have succeeded in attracting the,

TRUSTS AND FOREIGN TRADE

Most Republican speakers and
writers undertake an open defense of
the trusts as Governor Foster did at
the Chicago trust conference. His posi-
ton was clearly stated in these words:
THE trusts viii prove the great re-
lance CT our country in successfully
conducting the great industries that
are to supply the greatly enhanced
foreign commerce that the opportuni-
ties of the near future are opening to
us"
There are a few, however. that depre-
cate the enormous growth of these
monopolies under McKinley's admin
istratien. and frankly admit that their
object is to destroy competition, en-
nance prices ard restrict trade. Some
newspapers propose to remedy the
evil by striking at the cause, as the
local Republican organ indicates in
its demand that the tariff be removed
from ali trust created or trust con-
trolled articles of merchandise or
manufacture.
Governor Foster believes that trusts
ere necessary 10 the building up of a
great export trade. Among those who
share this opinion with him is the New
York Commercial Advertiser, and yet
il says: zone great trouble with trusts
that receive tariff protection is that
there is constant temptation for them
10 seek new foreign markets at the ex-
pense OF. the American people. BY the
simple process of raising prices at
home and lowering them abroad they
may be able greatly TO extend Ameri-
can foreign trade, but such extension
Of trade would not rebound to the adj
vantage of the United States as a
whole Ii would be an extension of
trade purchased by the American peo-
pie in the form Of payment of higher
prices for what they consumed. Al
most any country can secure foreign
trade ii it is willing to pay enough for
it"
But the Commercial Advertiser dis
Claims any intention OF intimating that
all protected trusts would do such
things. II merely claims that they
can if they are mean enough. But it
hopes thai .iot many are so bad.
