When Thring became head-master of

The other boys laughed. and said that
the head-master was five hundred miles
away: his excuse was nonsense.
But their jeering did not change his
purpose. Then the lecturer turned
round toward Mr.. Thring. and said:

II this nation is to determine when
another shall have the right to govern
themselves, then we declare the purest
absolutism that has been known in the
history OF the world. No tyrant ever
trained his guns upon the people OF a
territory he wished to acquire until he
has told them: "We do this for your
good, and to elevate and Christianize
and civilize you" George III. and Lord
North said to the people of the thirteen
colonies, Our fathers: "You are not fit
for self-government. We will govern
you. We will lead you out OF the low
and ignorant paths you are pursuing
and elevate you to the high civilization
of England"
We were told when opposing the
treaty tlsat-we were responsible for every
drop OF blood that should be spilled in
the Philippines; that if the treaty should
be confirmed peace would at once come
and not another gun be fired. The
treaty has been approved, and this morn
ing's telegram brings to us the news
that the Filipinos are in arms, that more
troops are required, and that Admiral
Dewey has telegraphed ior the Oregon
for political purposes in those islands.
But, Mr.. President, l know, ii my
experience in legislation is worth any
thing, that this army, temporarily in
creased until July, 1901, will never, new
er, be decreased. You might as we'll
talk about taking the right OF suffrage
from people to whom it has been
given. You might as we'll expect to
limit appropriations by saying that so
many thousand dollars may be expend-
ed. The army will never be less than
what we make it to-day; and when we
put in simply this provision for tem-
porary increase, it amounts with me to,
the same thing as permanent adjust
ment.
When we put our feet on this path OF
expansion. we are bound to follow the
road to which it legitimately comes We
must increase the navy, increase the
army, provide for the transportation OF
troops, furnish men to be slaughtered,
and thea pay an enormous pension roll,
as the result OF useless, wicked, and, in
my judgment, criminal war

Miss Wheeler's Recital.

Last Tuesday week, large number OF

OF Miss Celestine Howard Wheeler at
Holy Angels Academy. Miss Wheeler
is a St. Paul young lady, who was
graduated from the academic depart
nent of the academy last June and who
has since given her entire time to the
study OF music in order to complete the
regular graded course which would en-
title her to a graduating diploma from
the musical department. This depart
ment is under the supervision of Pro-
lessor Crosse, but the teaching is done
by the Sisters.
Miss Wheeler played selections from
Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Schu-
bert, Tsehaikowsky, Rubenstein, Grieg
and Weber, the execution OF which showed
that she was pupil OF marked ability
and fully merited the diploma given her
by the academy. Mozart's Sonata in F
Major was rendered with second piano
accompaniment by Professor Crosse as
was also the concluding number OF the
program, Webcr's Polacca Brilliante,
Op. 72.
Vocal numbers were given by Miss
Lysle Hawkins and Miss Margaret Gau-
mon while Miss Myrtle Splan and Miss
Susan McCauley by their we'll given
