This Government viii watch the Opera
lions with Germany First.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 31.-Germany's success
in securing Parcels Post convention with the
United States has occasioned much comment
among Government officials Interested in
the subject of foreign mails. To-day n de-
spatch was printed to the effect that the French
Government desired to follow Gormany's
example and that negotiations to that end
would be opened at an early day. The Second
Assistant Postmaster General takes different
view OF tho case. however. In his mind there
ls little lik elihood that any further treaties OF
this sort will he approved until the German-
American convention has stood the test Of
several months.
This Government has hesitated In estab-
fishing a parcels post" he said either do
m este or foreign, because OF the long dis
tances such parcels must be carried by our Ad-
ministration. In creating parcels post with q
foreign power like Germany We thought this
objection might be counterbalanced by the
added trade obtained for our merchants.
Whether this will be the case one
can say until the institution has had trial. II
the German merchants do all the shipping by
parcels post 1t would seem to oppose our in
terests instead Of advancing them. But II. as
we hope may be the case, our shippers avail
themselves of this new means Of reaching tho
German consumer and an impetus Is thus
given our trade with Germany. 1t Is probable
that we shall have parcels post treaties with
England. France. Spain and Italy also.
I'm any event nothing is likely to be done
for some time-several months at least Par

WARRINGTON. Aug. 31.-The Subsistence De-
partment Of the army has decided on a meas
ure OF practical relief for the suffering Porto
Ricans which. without being n charity.

ders have been issued by the Acting
Commissary General TO commisSary Of
fcers throughout tho United States to
purchase Porto Rican coffee for the use OF the
army. In this way large part OF the product
will be utilized and the money paid for it will
go to Porto Rico. Since the Spanish war the
Porto Ricans have been restricted in their
coffee market. as Spain took largo part OF the
crop. The recent hurricane destroyed much
OF the growing coffee and a considerable guam
tity OF the stored product. but there is said to
DO enough on hand to net the growers a tidy
little sum. 1t is hoped by tho military author
tiles that through its use by the army. Porto

SEEKING FOR A MAN.

The Everett Independent, a nice, bright paper, ends up aleading editorial in a recent issue by propounding the following:
 "Where is the brain to direct the peo- pie into the right path and lead them on and up to the place which our coun- try ought to attain to, among the na- tions of the earth?"
 That question is very easily answer, ed. Mckinley is the man and when his time is up, call on us and we will name a successor. Ask something hard that is too easy.

As stated, Dr. Jackson has done all he could with the means furnished. He gets small salary and does not handle adollar of the school money. He knows the school system of Alaska is insufficient, but what can he do with S30,OO0.OO. For years he has been beg ging for s5O,O0OOO. but Congress has been deaf to his appeals.
 Judge Kelly has visited the schools in the district and finds them as good as could be expected under the cir cumstances. He wants to build more school houses and increase the number of schools. but the appropriation will barely keep up those already estab- lished.
 These attacks will annoy, but will do no harm. These men are doing their full duty. "Truth is mighty" and in the end will prevail.

AMERICAN PATRIOTISM.

It is pleasing to note that while par tizan feeling generally runs very high in the United States, yet when it comes to a question of patriotism, the brain and intelligence of all the different par ties join hands in declaring in favor of the preservation of the patriotic prin- ciples which are the foundation and corner stone of our republic.
 At the present time a small, very small, minority of Americans is anx- ious to haul down the flag in the Phil ippines and this desire is not confined to any particular party, but few in all but it is most gratifying to note that the grand old patriotic ring is sound ing throughout the land and that dem ocrats, republicans and populists are joining in the demand that American supremacy must be established in the far East and that the stars and stripes shall not be hauled down by few half civilized barbarians in the Philippines
 In Seattle the condition of the feel ing of the people was fairly demonstra- ted recently, when Judge Richard Windsor, the leader of the popuhsts in Western Washington, declared that to haul down the flag in the Philippines would be unpatriotic and that the in- surreetion on the islands must be put down and American supremacy must be established.
 On the other hand, War Horse Bill White, man of brains and ability who has grown gray fighting for democracy, the leader of his party in Western Washington for years, is exhibiting that portion of his body which age, wisdom and discretion generally seek to conceal, by declaring the putting down of the rebellion in the Philippines is a crime, and that the islands should be abandoned by the American army.
 We will not stop to discuss the ques- ton as to whether these men who share the feelings of the War Horse are sincere or not, but it does seem as though they ought to profit by the past and not make such internal asses of themselves as to suppose for moment that Americans will consent to haul down old glory at the dictates of a handful of little greasers. Whether we retain control of that country or not we cannot afford to withdraw from the field with dishonor, which we would do by retreating at this time.
 The administration has never said that it was the intention to annex the Philippines. These people commenced the fighting and Mckinley tells them to lay down their arms and acknowl- edge American authority for the pre- sent, and the patriots of the United States, republicans, democrats and populists will back him in the use of every man and every dollar of money to accomplish this purpose,
 The War Horse, Atkinson &Co. will find that hurrah for Aguinaldo is not as popular in 1899 as the Northern cheers were for Jeff Davis in 1863-4.
