pino that Mr.. Atkinson is playing; quite
the reverse. So far as Aguinaldo is con-
cerned, he and his associates are out of
the way of trouble: but the poor natives
who are so deluded as to take their lead
ers, including Mr.. Atkinson. seriously, are
getting all the woe of the situation. Some
of them. of course, are ruffians, assassins
and natural quarrelers who would proba-
bly, get killed in fight even in time Of
peace. but some others are simply misled
and unfortunate individuals who think
they are fighting for a prize within reach
when, as 4 matter of fact, it is about as
far off as the moon. If they would become
quiet and give the American authorities
a chance to come to an understanding with
them, they would be guaranteed fair treat
ment, and if they still desired fight, they
could help us do police duty in the islands;
but under the present regime they are
simply hitting their heads against stone
wall with the pathetic expectation of mac
adamizing the wall by that process, and
there is not the least likelihood that that
will ever happen.

and the object lesson in the last chapter
OF United States history would be over.
1t goes without saying that Funston
would not think for an instant of accept
ing such proposition. If he did. he
would make considerably worse show Of
himself than Hobson did on his kissing
tour. But what are the sensible people OF
Kansas about.
Perhaps it has been so long since we
have had any heroes to honor in this coun-
try that we do not know just how to do it,
but the matter ought to receive immediate
attention. This has become evident from
the numerous foolish schemes which have
been suggested for welcoming Admiral
Dewey. There is no reason why a man
who has done good service for his country
should have his life made burden to him
by the way in which his fellow citizens
appreciate him. They need not insist on
his eating four dinners day. and travel
ing all over the country, and presenting
silver cup to every infant named after
him. They need rot lie in wait for him
with burdensome schemes of celebration
till he is afraid to come home lest he
should make enemies by refusing we'll
meant attentions. The honors heaped upon
Admiral Dewey by the American people
cannot be too great, but they need not
smother him outright.
As for the Funston scheme. that is be-
yond the power of ordinary language to
describe. II makes one wish that the late
Charles a. Dana could come to life, sit
down in his familiar chair, take up a pen
dipped in vitriol and red ink. and with the
office cat purring approval on the corner
OF his desk, express his opinion of it in his
own inimitable rhetoric.
Picture to yourself, as the French say,
Brigadier General Funston plunging into
the Arkansas River, followed unhesitat-
ingly by his nine men; swimming across
and charging up the hill in exact imita-
tion Of the way in which he behaved on a
memorable occasion at Calumpit! Imagine
the feelings OF the crowd as they look on
at this rehearsal of a daring and brilliant
achievement Imagine the emotions of
people of taste and feeling if there happen
to be any in the crowd, This is the tank
drama on a much enlarged scale. Real
water, real earthworks. real uniforms, and
real heroes.
II this goes on. We shall have some en-
terprising syndicate suggesting that Dewey
rehearse the battle OF Manila Bay in a
convenient place, using wooden ships and
manikins to represent the Spaniards, and
charging admission at one dollar a head,
children half price. Really, considering the
intellectual abilities OF the originators of
the show, the admission ought to be half
price all around. counting half head to
each person. Nobody. of course. will propose
to Roosevelt that he personally conduct an
exhibition OF the battle OF San Juan, or
there might be a Rough Riders charge
then and there; and nobody. for a differ
ent reason, will get Sampson to consent
TO a rehearsal of the Battle of Santiago.
He would not care 10 have that repeated
with historical accuracy.

Not pinnerr. Hut a Homo.

Admiral Dewey has sent word to Chica-
go that the condition of his health will
not permit his acceptance of an invitation
to banquet, rendered TO him by some hos
pitable and patriotic gentlemen of that
city. This involves the assumption that
for the same reason he does not desire to
become the central figure in a series of
national ceremonies and that he is not dis
posed TO discriminate in favor of New
York. Chicago. or any other city in ex-
hibiting himself for the edification of the
poDulace. All the more reason. therefore,
is there that the tribute 10 him and his
return should be OF a simple, unostenta-
tious yet permanent and tangible charac-
ter. II cities like New York, which have
been planning Lucullus-like banquets at
fifty dollars per plate, and cities like Chica-
go. which have been concocting schemes of
welcome equally destructive 10 the Ad-
miral's digestion, would drop these evan
nescent IDEAS and show their common
sense by contributing promptly and gener-
ously to a suitable home for Dewey at
the Capital, there would be the more occa-
sion TO admire the feryor of their patriot
ism. The subscription books are now open.

Reflection. on the Future.


Something is going to happen when the
Western volunteers come back from the
Philippines. and there are several chances
to one that Edward Atkinson and Company
viii not like it. At the present time the
soldiers do not know all that is being said
about them and their doings They do not
know that they have been accused of mur-
der. outrage, and all sorts OF savagery in
consistent with civilized warefare. nor do
they know that their general has been dub
bed the American Weyler. They have been
patrolling Manila. trying to put out flames
kindled by incendiaries and protect the
homes of foreign residents from the at
tacks of the natives. They have been do
ing sentry duty with their nerves on the
qui viye and their eyes strained, watching
for native TO creep out OF the shadows
and stick a knife into their backs. They
have been making forced marches under
tropical sun, and having smallpox, and
malaria. and Eastern diseases generally.
They have been taking care of the towns
where they were stationed to do garrison
duty. while the gleeful natives, encouraged
by the fact that the Americans ceased to
advance, lowered around them and maid
them attentions in the shape of brass COW
cred bullets. They have been having a
nice time.
Meanwhile Messrs. Hoar and Atkinson
have been sitting at home. in their quiet
Libraries, spending this lovely springtime
in abusing the American volunteer. While
the cool sea breezes blew In at their win
dows. and the fragrance of opening flow
ers and OF new leaves stole in from the
parks and streets, they have been writing
pamphlets describing the horrible actions
of the soldiers of the American Army.
They have been eulogizing Aguinaldo as
a second George Washington, and express
ing open delight at the resistance which
prolongs the war and wastes lives for moth
ing. When the boys receive their news
papers from home, with reports of the
speeches of these gentlemen In them. that

erature. There will be some Biblical Ian
guage used about II. at all events.
But that is not all that these gentlemen
have done. If it were, they would stand
in less danger OF vengeance when the
troops come home. They have been writ
ing circulars. having them printed by the
bushel. explaining the strong anti-cxDan-
sion sentiment in the United States, and
encouraging Aguinaldo and his associates
TO persist in their attempts to make trou-
Bile for the American Army. They have
used in this task a great deal of rhetoric
which. belonging to respectable branch
of the English language. is desecrated by
being put 10 such n use. These circulars,
pamphlets. and letters they have for
warded in great numbers to the insurgent
army in the Philippines. so that they will
keep on fighting and kill more Americans,
and incidentally. be killed themselves. 1t
is not the part Of friend to the poor Fill
