pnEsIDENT's POSITION.

At the Dewey dinner the President II
is reported, stated his position in respect
10 the Philippines. 1t is 70 establish
stable and liberal government in the ISL
ands and then let Congress attend to the
details and determine whether or not QUE
nossession of the Islands shall be perma
nent.
Congress will OF course say what shall
be done with The slands-whether, after
they ore prepared for il, they shall have
self-government or shall be a permanent
possession of this country The report
of what lhe President said may not be
correct Assuming that il is. his position
is somewhat different from thai which he
took in his speech at Long Branch a few
weeks ago. In that speech he made no
mention of Congress. but let it be inferred
that he spoke for the Republican party.
He announced il 10 be his policy to ho.d
the Philippines as a permanent possession.
1t may DE that he has modified his views
somewhat. Il he has he will doubtless
make the fact clear on his trip to the
West next week.
The position which has been taken by
Mr.. Bryan-and he does not speak for the
Democratic party, although il must be adj
mitted that Democrats very generally ep-
pear 30 approve his position-is that The
Filipinos should be given their iudepcud-
euce just as soon as it is apparent that
they are capable of managing their own
affairs, and he is oil the opinion that
they are capable of doing that now. lie
would moi have our soldiers Withdrawn
until a stable government is established
in the islands, but he thinks that if it
were announced that the Filipinos were to
have independence the insurrection would
come to an end at once. When the Presi-
dent visits the West he may discover rea-
sons for coming around to the position oe-
cupied by Mr. Bryan

A VICTORY ron THE EQUITABLE.

The disappointment of Emil Greet to get
the 800 which he claimed from the Equi-
table Life Assurance Association must a
source of great disappointment to him.
lie was policy holder in the Equitable
on the endowment plan. He took out a
policy for $4,000. which sum was to be
paid to him at the end of fifteen years, or
If he died before the expiration of the
fifteen years the money was to be paid to
his heirs In addition 10 the $4,000 he was
TO have al The policy-holder dividends de
clared by the society up to the time of
the expiration of his policy. He got the
principal and was paid in dividends 49,

Mr.. Greet was not satisfied with what he
received. He insisted that he was entitled
10 a share of the $4300o,0O0 general surplus
held by the Society. The amount coming
10 him from this general surplus he claim
ed to be $1,000 The triaf court decided
against him, and he carried the case to the
Supreme Court of the state of New York.
That tribunal decided in his favor The
case was then taken to the Court of APP
peals, the highest court in the state That
court has just decided that Mr.. Greefs
contract with the Society does not entile
MIN to have any other part of the surplus
than what the Society chooses to give
him. The Society declares a policy-holders
dividend every year which is distributed on
the basis of the amount of each policy.
Mr. Greet got his dividends, which, as al
ready stated, amounted to a little less than
$1,000
This ends what at one time promised to
lead to a great deal of litigation. and
might have caused the Society much an
noyance There were many who thought
Mr. Greet had very good case. The point
he raised was a new one, and perhaps
caused some uneasiness in life insurance
circles. Life insurance men are glad now,

been so clearly settled in favor Of the com

CUBANs WHO ARE THREATENING
TROUBLE.

Cubans and Cuban affairs are command
ing very little attention nowadays. There
are Cubaus who are trying to foment
trouble but they are not meeting with
success. The government at Washington
appears to be. confident that peace will
prevail. no matter how many ex-Cubsn
generals threaten 10 lead an Instruction
against the military government of the
United States.
The recent Santiago dispatches give an
account of two Cuban generals, Miro and
Sanchez. who have issued d manifesto
against the American government. They
declare that American military rule is
more burdensone than was that of Spain.
aud that the time is ripe for revolution.
Gen. WOOD knows how 10 take care Of
them. Doubtless they are a type of Gu
bans who will be most troublesome in es-
tablishing a stable and progressive gov
ernment in Cuba. Their threats of revo-
lRion simply mean that they want to be
taken care OF. Until recently Gems. Miro
and Sanchez were employed under Gen.
Wood. II is presumed that they were
quiet as long as salaries were paid them.
Now that they have TO depend on their
own exertions for their bread and butter,
they are threatening Instructions and rev
oiutions.
1t is a pity that such men have a fol-
lowing among Cubans. In this country
men of their stamp would be- wholly with
out influence In Cuba, unfortunately,
they are able to cause a great deal Of
trouble. And there are so many of them
who want to be taken care of-who want
to live IN luxury without doing any work
that it is going 10 be a difficult matter TO
establish stable and liberal government
in the island Indeed. it is question
whether self-government is possible there
until the general character of the people
has undergone radical change.
Admiral Dewey is quoted as saying that
the Filipinos are better fitted for self-gov-
eminent than the Cubans, and he declared
that the Fnipinos are not qualified TO
manage their own affairs. In support of
this opinion, respecting the Fiipinos, he
pointed to the assassination of Gen. Luna
by order of Aguinaldo as proof that they
are not yet ready for independence. Where
assassination is sanctioned by those in au-
thority a republic could not exist.
There will be no outbreak in Cuba, not
withstanding the threats of Cuban gen.
erals. The military authorities there are
prepared to check any attempt TO inau-
gurate an Instruction as soon as the first
signs of it appear. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, II an independent government would
be in existence six months before an eff
fort would be made 10 overturn it, Con-
dtions would quickly become as bad as
they are in any one Of the Central Amer
lean States. This country is bound, OF
course to give Cuba a government of her
own but 1t ought not to leave the Cubans
to take care of themselves until they fur
nsh pretty good evidence of their ability
to do go.

TROUBLE WITH THEIR FESTIVAL.

The Chicago people are having a lot of
trouble with their great fall festival. One
of the things it is proposed TO do is to lay
the corner stone of the new post Office
which is to be one of The most magnificent
buildings of the kind in The world. The
union labor organizations threatened to
block the corner stone ceremonies because
at the quarry some work had been done
on the stone by non-union workmen. 1t
took a great deal of diplomacy to get that
matter satisfactorily adjusted
Now there is trouble between the festi-
val managers and the Marquette Club
The Club invited the President to be its
guest and he accepted. 1t has pre-
pared an elaborate banquet for Sat
urday night, at which there is to be a
great deal of speechmaking. 1t is its
intention TO send over the country
a food of eloquence in defense of the Pres
idenUs Philippine policy. The programme
provides that the banquet shall. begin at
p. m. but the festival managers have
arranged that the great parade shall take
place on that evening, also to begin at 6
p. M They want the President TO review
the parade, and il is probable that he Will
have to yield to their wishes The parade
will be the most important feature of the
entire festival. 1t will take several hours
TO review il, and the President would dis
appoint many thousand people if he were
to refuse 70 take part ia the ceremonies.
