No Right to Ugliness.

TINE was when the federal govern
mept would have asked Virginia the
favor OF allowing naval vessel to be
named after her; but Last Friday the
Governor of Virginia, himself, asked
President Mckinley and the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy to, name one of
the new ships the Virginia. All old
things, however, have passed away,
and, unfortunately, those that have
taken their places are not as good.

THE FILIPINOS.

Bishop Henry c. Potter, of the Epis.
copal Diocese of New York, who ia
studying conditions in the Philippines,
has made public a statement in which
he says:
"The Filipinos can be conquered and
subdued by our armies. They can be
routed and scattered, so far as their
military forces are concerned, but the
instincts of justice in them cannot be
extinguished, whether by armies or
navies. 1t is to be hoped that it will
not be the Office of the United States
to attempt to extinguish them. This
people have been robbed and oppressed
by those who in their wrong doing have
shielded themselves behind the highest
sanctions. Their lands, which have
been taken from them by force and
fraud, should he restored to them. The
authority of the United States should
stand for that which must forever be
the brightest blazon upon her escut-
cheon-honesty and justice toward the
weakest wards of the republic" -.

The Hawaiian islands are an exam

1866 that the islands first touched an
interest OF $1,000. 900 In our import
trade, chiefly through the whale-nsh-
cries. as they made a convenient stop
ping place for American whalera The
interest was not doubled until the reel
procity treaty went into effect QS77),
and sugar became the great article Of
commerce. with rice as the second in
Importance. but representing only one
tenth the value of the sugar. The
granting of free entry into the United
States for these two products was
equivalent to RENTING to the Ha-
waiian planters the sum OF $1,000. 900
a year. every dollar OF which acted As
q bounty On production. 1t was ma
