The Dewey Arch.

Some unfavorabe criticism has been
made on the Dewey triumphal arch in New
York because the Quadriga, the fine group
which crowns the structure. faces to the
south. whereas the Dewey procession came
to it from the north. The situation was
somewhat anomalous, but the responsible
ty for it lies with the people who planned
the procession, not with the artists who
located the Quadriga. A group of sculpture
should never front to the north, from
which point it is always viewed under
favorable conditions, as the strong south
ern light is trying to the eyes, and the
features of the figures are in such deep
shadows that they can hardly be seen,-cer-
tainly not to advantage. Facing the south
the conditions are all reversed.
Such mistakes. 1t may be added. are
rarely made by artists. but sometimes by
the directing authorities. A case in point
is the statue of Penn, surrounding the city
hall in Philadelphia. which is far too high
and faces the wrong way; and it looks as
though the same error will be made with
the Sherman equestrian statue, to be
erected in front of the Treasury building in
this city.

7ehdior Jones or Arkansas is expected

where campaigns are in progress Not a

at the polls next month.

But strangely enough. some curiosity eX
lists as to what, if any, effect this sojourn
abroad has had on Senator Jones views Of
public questions. He did not make his trip
for study, and on account of his health he
has not gone out much in company. But
his health has been benefited, and he has
as his letters have disclosed, been looking
and prevailing agencies. The greater part
of the time has been spent in England
where they have the gold standard and
free trade. He saw something of the con-
tinent, however, and how the working
classes there live and have their being.
Does he return as strongly as ever in
favor of the adoption of the policy of free
coinage of silver by the United States
without waiting for the aid or consent Of
any other nation? If So has he any argu-
ments to offer in support of that PROPOSE
ton which We're not offered and rejected
in 1896? Have his tariff views undergone
any change? And have his views on the
subject of expansion been in anywise col
ored by this studying of his country a lit
tie al distance. but somewhat closely in
comparison with other countries?
Senator Jones ought to be good for a
very interesting talk when he lands. and

What We Shall Do.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Isn't it about time that these agitators
should get down to something practical?
These islands are upon our hands and we
cannot neglect the responsibility thrust
upon US. The only course to pursue under
the CircumS tanCe5 is to make active war
fare upon the assassin Aguinaldo, drive him
into the deep or to surrender, and then
bring about peace and prosperity. The IN
come of the islands would be expended in
public works. Havana in "A few short
months has been made a healthy city.
Streets have been paved, sewers laid and
the once-dreaded yellow fever has been
practically driven into exile. 1t is no
longer feared. What has been done in Ha-
vana will be done in Manila and the cities
of the Philippines. We shall educate these
people and teach them to govern them
selves. We shall give them, not an indie
pendent republic and abandon them to an
archy. but republican form of govern
ment under the United States.
That is what we will do In the Philippines
for the simple reason that there is no hing
else to do. and Mr. Bryan will do well to
stick to his mad theories of free silver and
the destruction of property and leave the
Philippine question alone

Suzerainty Over the Philippines.

Mr.. Bryan favors the establishment by
the United States of a suzerainty over the
Philippine Islands. He uses the word pro-
tectorate. but his meaning is clear. He
would have the United States stand by and
ward off foreign powers. but would deny
ii voice in the domestic affairs of the
archipelago How would that be likely to
work?
Let rs lock- for instruction TO the pres
ent difficulty between England and the
Transvaal. The suzerainty in that case
was establ he'd at time and in circum-
stances which gave hint of trouble.
England. then now, was great power
among the worlds greatest. The Trans
vaal, in comparison. was of small moment.
1t was rich in agricultural yields and prom
Use. but its most alluring wealth was I'M
discovered. And it would probably have re-
manned undiscovered If only the Beers had
continued TO occupy the country. 1t was
the outianders who turned up the gold de-
yci0ped the mines. and increased the value
OF everything. They have not only made
the country, but have been paying the
running expenses of the government. Now
they are demanding voice in domestic
affairs and England is backing them up.
So We come to Englands embarrassment
The outlanders assert that their claims to
recognition cannot be ignored. They must
prevail in the interests of common sense
and justice. The Beers, as they describe
ihem. are only the "squatter sovereigns,"
ID are unequal to the growing demands
OF the progressive times. The Beers reply
by complaining that the real object of the
outlanders is to drive them out of the
country. and to take full possession them
selves.
1t is easy to apply this 10 the Philip
pine Islands. They are as yet undevel-
Oped. What is above ground is exceeding
ly valuable. but who knows what is I'M
dcrneath? Suppose, after had estab-
liShed suzerainty, gold and other rich de-
posts should he uncovered by new COM
ers. The country, of course would rapidly
fill up with white men. attracted from a
distance. They would be the ones to dig
the earth. develop the hidden wealth. en-
large the markets and advance things gen.
orally. Then they would want a voice in
the government What? Do all this for the
archipelago, and yet be denied the right
to participate in the government? Not
much,
The Filipinos, on their side. would COM
plain that tho real object of the outland-
ers was plIage, and they would refuse on
that ground to give inch. And the
United States would be, England now
