The administration in its great
anxiety to avoid the issue of more
bonds to pay for the largely in
creased army, is seeking devious
ways to raise revenue. Recently,
the Patent Office required the seals
of Notaries Public to be certified to
by the clerk of the County Court in
patent applications. AS this means
an additional revenue stamp of ten
cents on the certificate, the reason
for this new requirement is appar-
ent.

last evening from Mingo county,
and tomorrow will leave with Elias
Hatfield for Williamson, where he
will be tried for the murder of "Doc"
Ellis, which occurred on train last

The substantial advantage which
will be enjored by the Democrats
by reason of the anti imperalist
movement in the east, will be in the
form of money contributions for the

wealthy men who would not ordi-

who are fanatically opposed to the
retention OF the Philippines, and
will contribute to the Bryan cam

this position are theorists and emo

This is the way that the people liv-
ing down below here looked at the
recent break of the pipe line in Cheat.
1t is taken from the Connellsville
Courier:
The big pipe line Of the Standard
Oil Company which crosses the Cheat
river at lees Ferry burst at the river
Wednesday and about 1000 barrels of
oil flowed out. The river was soon
covered with oil, which gradually
worked its way down TO the Mononga-
hela at Point Marion. Many fish
were killed and went floating down
the surface, some weighing 20 to %
pounds. The oil gathered in great
pools on the eddies, where it was gath
cred by the people in large quantities.
The fire started at several places, but
was extinguished before any damage
was done. 1t is reported that the
break has been repaired. The greatest
danger is to the shipping in the Cheat
and Monongahela rivers. Sever al
small steamers and launches have been
in the Cheat during vacation season.

Recent reports to the War Depart
ment show that there has been a
marked change in the attitude of
the military governors of Cuban
provinces. Formerly, in their pub
lie addresses, though nothing was
promised, still Cubans were always
led to believe that in the future the
entire affairs of the island would be
turned over to them. Now, this
sort of thing is carefully omitted.
The military commanders seem to
have reason to believe that Presi-
dent Mckinley no longer feels as
strongly as when he expressed him
self that territorial acquisition as a
result of the war would be criminal
aggression"

Admiral Dewey and His Home.

Regarding the disposition which Admiral
Dewey might see fit to make of the house
recently presented to him as matter
properly within his own control, The Times
mas refrained from all comment on what
seemed to be his decision to transfer the
property 10 his wife. In doing so he was
clearly within his rights. The house was
his and could be disposed of as he saw fit.
The American people who gave it expected
the Admiral to live in the home they had
provided for him and that was all they
cared about it. He proposes to live there.
but fer reasons OF his own has decided to
formally deed the property to his son. If
that is in any way mistake it will be a
simple matter for Mr.. George G. Dewey to
deed it back again.

Dewey refers in the interview printed in

priately enough in the Washington Even

Educntion in the Colonies.

1t has been remarked by several jour-
mails. and by many people who are not
writing in any newspaper. that one of the
most important matters to be settled in
connection with the control of our co. onies
is that of public education. The only pos
sible road TO success in such government
for us, must be through the development
of general intelligence and cooperation
with our plans; and this must come
through education. This country could
not, with any decency, maintain a govern
maintained by a people bent simply ON the
extension of empire. II will not do to have
one thing on our flag and another thing
in our administration: to claim that the
name of American stands for liberty, en-
lightenment, and progress, and be unable
to substantiate that claim in practice, be-
fore the world.
II should be a self-evident truth, then,
that the people of these colonies must he
educated in such way that they will be-
come not rerely obedient subjects, but in
felligen. citizens. Otherwise there will al
ways be misunderstanding, instructions,
chickering's, and injustice of one kind or
another. 50 long as the masses of the
people are ignorant, they will be moved by
emotion rather than reason. and the dema-
gogue can do almost anything with them.
When they are half-educated the dema-
gogue will still have some power, but not
so much and he can be managed or over
come rather more easily. because he knows
that he must make at least a show of ar
gument. OF course, a half-educated mass
of people is discouraging thing to con-
template, but it is not half so dangerous
as it would be with no education at all.
How. then, shall this system of education
be carried on? There are grave dangers
in it from any point of view. 1t is always
bad thing to apply to one people tradi-
tions and methods made to fit another
The general tendencies and traits of the
native must be taken into account. 1t will
be of no use to educate him in such a way
that he will be merely bad imitation of
an Anglo Saxon. He will not be nearly
so good at certain kinds of factory labor
as at the manufacturing which his father
and grandfather did before him. The
Navajo Indian will never make anything
in a factory which is half so beautiful as
the blankets woven by his people genera
tons ago. The Filipino can be taught to
weave calicoes, but it seems as if it would
be better to preserve the native arts of
weaving. The pima dresses of Filipino and
mestiza women are said to be particularly
beautiful. Why should not that industry
be developed? It might be well. then, to
educate the children industrially in such
a way that some of the arts which are al
ready familiar to their people will not be
lost to the world.

Where Is AguinaIdO.

The little We are able to hear from the
Philippines today discloses the interesting
fact that. while the field generals seem to
be convinced that Aguinaldo has made his
escape into the mountains beyond San
Nicolas and San Jacinto with the bulk of
his followers. Otis at Manila still believes
the willy Tagal to be west of the Dagupan
railway, and practically within the reach
and power of Macarthur.
As the Otis theory does not agree with
the facts of the situation, it is evidently
The natural one for him to adopt; but the
general opinion of the country will prob
ably base itself upon the view of the off
GERS who are on the ground and know what
they are talking about. There are some
indications that Aguinaldo succeeded in
moving out of the littoral with all the
troops he had-variously estimated at from
len TO twenty thousand men-and was able
to carry with him his artillery and most
of his supplies The provisions and forage
found in the district he recently occupied
do not represent anything like the guam
tity of either that his number would re-
quire; while it is significant that. whereas
it is approximately known what guns he
had, they are conspicuous by their absence
from the rebel material captured
If Aguinaldo really has been clever
enough to take up a new position in the
transmontane provinces, and has force
enough to overawe the unfriendly natives
the movement will involve a serious dis
appointment to our Government. 1t will
necessitate an arduous and perhaps long
campaign against the rebels, in region
well adapted to defensive tactics, and con-
sequently unfayorable to an invading army.
Wherever the vanished rebel bands and
their leader may be, there is reason to
hope that Young and Wheaton are close
on their trail. Possibly they may be
caught before they can organize effective
resistance or provide themselves with hid
ing places

A Serious Act of War.

The real facts concerning what appears
to have been an open fight between the
citizens of Rio Grande City. Texas, and
the command of negro regular troops sta
TONED at Fort Ringgold. adjacent to that
place are yet involved in some mystery.
and it is impractieable to discuss the mat
ter intelligently until fuller information
has been received. II is safe. however, to
say that so unhappy an incident has never
before marked the relations of the regular
army with the people of any State.
Statements sent by the civil authorities
to the Governor OF Texas. and by him trans
mitted 10 the Secretary of War are so dia-
metrically opposed to the story given 10 the
military authorities by the lieutenant COM
marding the post, that We fancy a rigid
investigation of the circumstances. in con-
rection with precedent conditions and
events will have to be made before We shall
know the real truth of the unfortunate epi-
sode. According TO the civilian side in the
affair the colored troops took possession OF
point overlooking the town and opened
fire upon it without provocation. The COM
manding officer asserts, on the contrary,
that the citizens turned out in force and
attacked the fort vigorously enough 10
compel its defenders to scatter the as
saulting party by using a Calling gun.
We are afraid that details regarding the
trouble will show a pre-existent bad feel
ing between the citizens and the negro SOL
diers. who probably would not have been
at Texas post if the greater part of the
army were not absent on colonial service.
The impolicy of placing detachments from
the colored regiments at places in the
Southern States. where their presence is
universally resented by the white inhab-
itants, is too self-evident to require discus
sion. But it is difficult perhaps at the
present time to avoid such details without
actually abandoning many military reser-
vations. Whatever may be the excuse for
the sad affair on one side or the other, an
armed encounter between American citi-
zens and American regulars will have an
ugly look abroad, and will not add any
thing to the sum of foreign respect for our
institutions or the condition of public Or
der under them.

is not yet known what the decision in the
case viii be.
II would probably surprise most intclr-
gent people to learn the amount of money
taken in by charlatans, quacks. swindlers.
clairvoyants. and tricksters Of all kinds
Some of them become rich; but they exist
in such numbers that more Of them remain
poor Some of them charge only trifiing

SUM when they find victim who can
produce it we are all descended from an
cestors whp believed in witcheraft, and it
is not stfange that considerable belief
in charms and purchasable supernatural
powers exists among ignorant people at the
present day.
II is a question whether men and women
who make their living by preying on the
ignorant in this fashion should be treated
as criminals or not. There is not much
sympathy among more intelligent persons
for the victims of such trickery, because
they are generally. as the phrase is. old
enough 10 know better and most of them
have friends who have told them that the
whole business is an imposture. II they
choose to disregard the advice of their
friends and go deliberately to be swindled
out of their money, perhaps one might
argue that it is nobody's business but
their own. 1t is, after all. no worse than
good many other forms of swindiing. not
punished by law When patent medicines
are bought by the gallon and swallowed to
the detriment OF health, it is both expen-
sive and painful to the sufferer: and the
dealer in the medicines generally knows
that fact; yet he is not touched by the law.
There are hundreds OF ways in which peo-
pie are imposed on by shrewd and unprin-
cpled tricksters. without any public in
dignation meetings being held Perhaps
this particular way is no worse than many
others. But all possible means should GER
tainly be taken by the intelligent friends
of these dupes to dissuade them from vast
ing their money on any such frauds.
