Not Parallel Cases.

peace first, then government
afterwards, giving the largest liberty
possible and the largest participation
in government of which the inhabit-
ants are capable"
So said President Mckinley in one
of his recent speeches; and the large
majority OF the people are with him
in this attitude toward the Filipiuos.
The critics who condemn the admin
STATIONS course in the Philippines,
and pirate of humanity in Cuba and
inhumanity in dealing with Agui-
naldo and his deluded followers, pur-
posely fail to see that the cases are
by no means parallel. When freed
from Spanish domination and cruelty
by the friendly hand of the United
States, the Cubans generally realized
their opportunity and are doing
something of their own accord to en-
nance the spread ofthe civilizing influ
ences which followed close upon the
occupation of the island by United
States forces, opponents of a peace
such as the Cubans had never before
known.
Was it the same with the Filipinos
Hardly. Dewey's victory in Manila
bay, resulting in the release of the ma
tives from the iron clutches of Spain,
was followed, not by an acceptance
of the situation on the part of the
Fllipinos and cooperation for Their
own development and upbuilding
but by shots treacherously fired al
United States troops by the insur
gents, whose leader has been fol
some time playing game in which
despotism and treachery are the pro
mnent elements.
1t was impossible to do, in tn,
Philippines, what was donein Cuba
impossible because Of Aguinaldo',
own acts. If the Cubans had turned
upon the United States as did tn,
Filipinos, be should doubtless b.
busy there now teaching the SAM
lesson that it has become necessar,
to teach in the land of the lawles
Tagals.
The cases are not parallel. TIL
duty of the country in the direction
OF the Philippines is as clear as it i
in the direction of Cuba-only it is
different sort of duty just at present
1t demands the securing of "peac
first" by the putting down of the re
bellion of Aguinaldo; then shall fol
low the better things which this gov
erment intended for Filipinos iron
the outset, and which have been de
layed only because Of the conduct @
the natives themselves.

noon one sees Paris and many from
the provinces. In the boulevards
and gardens extending far beyond
the Arch de Triomphe down to the
Louvre. Mr.. Turner says he has
sometimes seen 100000 people on
one afternoon enjoying life as only
the French people can. Besides the
Parisians, many come in from the
provinces and all are happy, content
ed and peaceable. Their politeness is
proverbial the world over, and
though wine is freer than water you
will never see one under the influence
of liquor, and the police have never
any work to do. Such thing could
happen in no other city in the world
and it is of almost daily occurrence
in Paris because there every man is a
gentleman and every woman lady.
In the hardest rain of the season,
Mr.. Martin and | visited the Eiffel
Tower and took one elevator after
another until at last we were landed
at the top Of the huge structure, 976
feet from the ground. The wind
blew gale and the tower swayed a
little, so that was somewhat uncom-
Portable in my little iusides, but the
view ofParis from this altitude amply
repaid for any slight illness. The
clouds hung so low that we could
not see beyond the city limits, but
the view of the French metropolis
was indescribably fine. We COM
pared the steel structure with Brook
Ign bridge and it was draw as to
which was the most wonderful from
an architectural and engineering
standpoint. The Eiffel Tower will
always remain one of the modern
wonders OF the world and one of the
sights of Paris.
Here endeth the reading Of the
second letter.

Ruskin's Advice.

The following quotation comes from
the pen of Ruskin, and might we'll be a
theme for meditation for every one.
"In order to investigate oneself it is
well to find out what one is now. Don't
think vaguely about it. Take pen and
paper, and write down as accurate de
scription OF yourself as possible, and if
you dare not, find out why you dare
not, and try to get strength Of heart
enough to look yourself in the face, mind
as well as body. Always have two
mirrors on your dressing table, and,
with proper care dress mind and body
at the same time. Put your best inteli-
gence to find out what you are good for
and what you can be made into. The
mere resolve not to be useless, and the
honest desire to help other people, will,
in the quickest and most delicate way
improve yourself. All accomplishments
should be considered as means OF as
sisting others. Resolve to do something
useful in the vulgar sense. Learn the
economy OF the kitchen, and the good
and bad qualities of every common arti-
Gle of food, and the simplest and best
ihoueS vi lhcH preparation. One SnOulO
at the end of every day be able to say, as
proudly as any peasant, that she has not
eaten the bread of idleness. Get quit ofthe
absurd idea that heaven will interfere to
correct great errors while allowing its
laws to take their own course in furnishing
small ones. II food is carelessly prepared
no one expects Providence to make it pal
atable; neither, if through years of folly
you misguide your own life, need you ex-
pect divine interference to bring round
every thing for the best. The conse-
quences OF great mistakes are just as sure
as small ones; and the happiness of your
whole life, and all of the lives over which
you have power, depends literally on
your common sense and discretion as
the excellence and order of dav.

If Aguinaldo has not yet selected a
coat OF arms the democratic rooster
would fit the case. He proclaims
that all the hope he has left is pinned
to that bird.-[St. Louis Globe DEM
ocrat.
There is a better element" in the
democratic party that has no more
love for Aguinaldo and his SYM
pathizers in the United States than it
had for certain snaky set of citizens
in the North during the civil war.
The Bryan section of the democracy
may be praying for Aguinaldo's sue
cess. But there are others, whose
patriotism holds them firmly.

IT the State House at Montpelier
had looked, illuminated on the night
of Dewey day, as it is represented to
have looked by the horrible cuts pub

every Vermonter would have hidden
his head in humiliation. But itlooked
just as much different from that as
possible, and so the people were proud
oft. Just why any selfrespecting new
