A STRIKING CONTRAST.

The contrast between the temperate anu rea
sonable speech of Secretary Long at Boston ana
the wild talk of the ant-imperialists SHOULD
have q great influence Men Of common-sense
,,now that those persons whose speech is mere
rav;nc have not right ON their side as often as
those who patiently reason When Boston IA
notics say that the treatment Of the Armenians
was not worse In wanton and deliberate cru
e,tv than our treatment Of the Filipinos; when
Professor Laughlin SAYS that our flag In the
philippines Is ian emblem Of tyranny and
butchery." and that I'VE are numbering colored
natives with rapid-fre guns; when Professor
Starr, of the University of Chicago, declares
that Mckinley is a knave" and that "Agul-
..nado is better fitted TO rule In the Philippines
"than the United States" their tone Is not that
OF truth or sobriety, and they appear unspeaka-
bly, weak and contemplate In contrast with the
courteous and careful argument Of Secretary
Long.
He calls especial attention to facts which
show how little support the pretences OF Agui-
raldo actually have. TO the universal welcome
and unfolding Of American authority in the
great city Of Manila and the voluntary support
of the United States by Inhabitants Of the pop
ulous southern islands He states that even in
some outlying provinces Of Luzon near Manila
II appears that the Tagalog governments, en-
gagged In personal plundering, are supported By
not more than per cent of the population.
The southern part of that island appears to offer
no effective resistance, although largely popu-
lated. AS to the northern part, food of light
was cast upon the situation by the ejaculation
of the emissary from General Luna regarding
the retreat Of his forces, Good God! Where
should we fall back TO, with the robber forces
>"against us on the north and the mountains on
"the east? II the northern tribes, long bit
terly hostile TO the Tagals who compose Agul-
naldos government and force, are now in arms
against them, there yanishes the last vestige OF
prctext for the claim that the rebel organiza-
ton represents anything more than part Of
the Tagal race, a small minority OF the pOpula-
ton Of the Philippine Islands.
The prospect Of peace becomes more clear.
also, IL the hostility Of the northern tribes has
become so general and serious that it Is re-
garded by Luna's emissary as a barrier against
retreat In that direction. Such retreat would
then mean a hopeless fighting for existence
against hostile population. with no means OF
getting reinforcenents or supplies. The Tagal
forces could not hope for either II they 60 be-
yond the districts chiefly populated by their
own race, and even inhospitable mountains
would offer better chance. To hold together
q half-savage and undiscipiined force, when
driven away from Its accustomed field of action
and from the support Of a friendly population,
II always hard task. To CO this In the face

COUNTY COURT.

At the time of our going to press
last week evidence vas still being
taken in the Warner will case. This
was kept up until the close of court
on Friday-the last two or three days
being devoted largely TO expert testi-
mony. Drs Flanders, GrinelI and
Clark of Burlington, and DR.. Hutch
inson, superintendent of the asylum
at Waterbury. To Dr. Grinell was
propounded many hypotheticalques
tions based upon the acts, eccentrici-
ties, and general manner in which Mr..
Warner conducted himself according
to the claim of the contestants. The
doctor was interrogated as to these
facts as an expert, and they wished
to have him give his personal opinion
as to the mental condition of a man
who had conducted himself as Mr.
Warner had, and surrounded by like
circumsta ices. The doctor gave his
opinion that a man who had done as
was indicated by the statements
given in court must have been more
or less mentally unbalanced. DR..
Clark testified that he had no person
al acquaintance with Mr.. Warner but
considered that the many curious
acts and sayings of Mr.. Warner which
had been recited here in court did not
necessarily Indicate that his mind
was unbalanced, but might have been
the natural outcome of such an ec-
centric man in old age. DR.. Hutchin-
son gave answers somewhat similar
to the above. He thought Mr.. War
ner fully competent to manage bis
affairs. His answer to questions SIM
liar to those given Drs. Grinnell and
Flanders we're strikingly different
from those given by these doctors.
Court re-convened Tuesday and
the entire day was consumed in make
ing the arguments. g. M. Powers
spoke first; he was followed by V. A
BuIlard and Seneca Haselton, Gov.
Bates concluding. The arguments is
we're we'll rendered and full of interest
and attentively listened to by large
audiences. Judge Taft gave his
charge to the jury in his usual clear
and concise manner this morning
and at 9:45 O'Clock the case went
to the them.
The next case to he tried will be
taken up Thursday and is Potter vs.
Lewis and Morton. This is Belvi-
dere tax case. All of the other civil
cases have been continued. There are
three or four criminal cases which il
tried will occupy the attention OF the

Court Notes.

Judge Powers was a visitor at
court last Tuesday.
Guy Start, Esq of Bakersfield, was
in attendance upon court to-day.
Court resumed work Tuesday,
bringing the usual number of attend
ants and not few who came to hear
the arguments in the Warner will
case.
The courtroom was packed Tues
day afternoon by people gathered
there to hear the arguments in the
celebrated Warner will case. 1t was
perhaps the largest audience ever
gathered there.
Judge Morse has been absent from
court several days by illness. The
dignity of the bench has rested
heavily upon his associate, Judge
Watts, and that he has done his best,
all who have ATTENDED court fully
affirm.
1t looked last Friday as though
court would not adjourn for Christ
mas. Judge Taft isn't much of a
Christmas man and he, it is said,
rather liked the idea of holding court,
"there wouldn't be so many around"
and better work could be done. A
session was held in the evening at
which the balance of evidence in the
Warner will case was heard, and then
the Judge, doubtless in consideration
OF the general desire of bar and Jury,
adjourned court until Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. When the Judge
made this announcement the faces of
the jury frightened up wonderfully.
