LIBERTY.

If cats ever develop sufficient intelli-
gence to behave themselves properly,
to refrain from back yard brawls, to
respect the rights of our pet canaries,
and to confine their carnal appetites to
sirloins and spare ribs of noxious and
capitalistic rodents, by all the gods
say true anarchistic philosophy de-
mands that we hail the individual
feline as a cat and a brother.

Sometimes, indeed it somehow ap-
pears often most frequently, our best
results come about in ways directly
opposed to popular expectations. The
present aspect of business affairs looks
as far as possible from tending to pur-
ity, liberality, or any other good thing.
Mergens, masteries and installations,
going on as they do with uniformly
accelerated volicity, do certainly seem
to be tumbling individual responsible
ity into the deepest of abysses. Do not

every new burst with open arms, and
rejoice for every consolidation. 1t
seems as if we were setting up new
tyrants; in fact, we are on the way to
topple over all tyranny. 1t looks as ii
the race was on the point Of becoming
a race of serfs of labor, and that the
labor lords were destined to rule SUI
preme. Tell me, pray, if there were
an Eden? Let the feudality Of affairs
expand burgeon. The root of success
is foul, damp or dusty, the stalk rough,
the leaves bitter, but the flower-that
is glorious enough to pay for the time
it took to grow. By and by it will oc-

ment; Mr.. Morgan is trying in another.

was habit for every petty potentate
the tryrants were impregnable; there
were too many nechs. But when Char

Ftltp5nos- Premises Of Good Treatment.
New York, March ~. The Journals
Manila correspondent cables to-day
that the address to the natives of the
Philippine islands drafted by the Amer
lean commission in behalf of the United
States government, and embodying the
views of the President, has been made
public. After being translated into all
the native dialect it is to be dissemin-
ated throughout the archipelago.
The address assures the Filipinos of
the intention of the Americans to de-
velop the powers Of government
in the people.
1t explains that the United States
has assumed International obligations
which it must fulfill and which make it
responsible to the whole civilized world
or the stable government OF the Phil
ippines. 90
The commission, it is explained, is
to interpret to the natives the purpose
and intentions of the President toward
them and also suggest the establish
ment of such a government as snall
suit the capacity and requirements OF
the Filipinos and be consistent with
the interests of the United States.
The protection of the United States
is not to be exercised in any spirit OF
tyranny or vengeance; but having de-
strcyed the Spanish power and accept
ed the sovereignty of the Islands, the
United States is bound to restore peace
in the Philippines.
To this end all insurgents are invited
to lay down their arms and place their
trust in the government that emanci-
pated them from the oppression OF
Spanish rule.
