BY the right kind of economy, however,
is not meant the cutting down of appro-
priationS to cripple the territorial bust
ness. With the principle of economy
fairly applied, with an honest and fair
assessment, levy and collection of taxes,
there will be found no trouble in making
both ends, as far as territorial expenses
are concerned. meet. The trouble here
tofore has been that, while %appropria-
tions have been made to meet the neces-
sary expenses of the territory, collections
have fallen so far short that every year
there has been Il deficit of from 80 to 40
per cent. The 33d Legislative assembly
is now called upon to meet the large
deficits which have been accommodating
for the past five years. This is one of
the hard problems of the situations, but
which the New Mexican believes will be
met and solved at the present session.

Recent developments in the Philip

Aguinaldo took the money and hied him
to Hongkong where he deposited the
money in his own name: and the faitl
he has kept with the Spaniards since
then is what has been described in
Roman history as Punica Fides. Agui-
naldo is out strictly for money and also
for glory, but principally the former.
He is shrewd. sharp and unprincipled,
and has some education, but not enough
to stand him in very much stead when
it comes to dealing with Americans. He
will deceive not m maj of intelligence
in casting broadcast such assertions as
that it was the Americans who began
the recent island war. and that the
Yankees are butchering innocent natives
and shooting them unchallenged on the
| streets of Manila. If the wiley Filipino
can escape to Hongkong and get his
cash, he would do well to leave fol
Europe, and keep away from the islands
hereafter.

On Courses Of Study.

The courses of study in the Chicago
healthful overhauling under the direc-
ton of the new superintendent ,ex-Presi-
dent E. Benjamin Andrews of Brown
University. There are some courses OF
study in higher, the collegiate institu-
tions, that might also well be overhauled,
and established on an entirely new basis.
The study of the modern languages is
one, a shining instance in fact. 1t has
for years been the custom to start stu
dents in so-called introduction books,
beginning with the alphabet, a few pri-
mary grammatical rules, then exercises,
Il reader. and next the classics of the
language. 1t is a rush and hurry pro-
cess. and the ~thoroughness that the sit
uation demands, and the highest and
most desirable type of which is noted in
the German schools, is honored more in
the breach than in the observance. The
result is that French and German class
les are a perpetual stumbling block, and
in many cases only by liberal and sur
reptitious use of translations, can the
student manage to pull through recita-
tions and examinations, only to speedily
forget all that he has learned in Il short
time after leaving college.
The French, Spanish and particularly
the German classics are no child's play.
The thoughts of writer's like Goethe and
Schiller, even in the English text, re-
quire a high order of intelligence to
comprehend; and when expressed in the
most polished German eve written. in
an idiom and forms of expression the
mastery of which requires continued and
persistent study of years, is it reasonable
to expect college students with only a
crush and brusqne' acquaintance with
the German tongue and its countless diff
%culties. to gain a real insight into the
thoughts of some of the most profound
minds the educated German nation eve
produced.
If Goethe and Schiller and the great
continental writers are to be studied in
the undergraduate departments of our
colleges. it would be well to have them
studied in English, and even then the
student will find he has all he can well
wrestle with. If German or French or
Spanish is to be taught, let 1t be with a
view to genuine acquisition of those
languages, a talking acquaintance, with
commercial use in prospect. Then a
student will have some incentive to work
for he will have something of practical
value in view. The sooner professors of
the higher institutions realize that many
of the present methods in imparting in
structions are more injurious than wise,
and adapt themselves to more sensible
methods of procedure, the sooner will
students be placed where they can feel
that they are accomplishing something
and not wasting their time over trying
in vain to surmount impossibilities.

that the artillery arm of the service has

The observing reader can not fail tC
note the difference between the long
drawn out, desultory and proftless
struggle between the Spaniards and the
Filipinos, and the sharp, decisive and
satisfactory fighting between the Amer

the lackadaisical. shiftless, thriftles>
manner of Spanish methods of warfare
led the Filipinos to believe that al
foreigners fought very much like the
Spaniard. The Filipino has learned
that there is a large and healthy diff
ference between American and Spanish
methods, in warfare as in other things.

The English press is pointing out the
fact that while American success in the
Philippines can not be disputed, yet,
this country must be prepared for a
series of toilsome campaigns ere the

of Admiral Dewey and General Otis to

Is a secure and stable government, and
that A~guinaldo is able to provide this is
now shown to be a falacy. After the
United States forces have permanently
established law and order, this country
will then have a chance to give the
Filipinos an opportunity to make up
their minds what sort of government
they would like, and what relations
they would prefer to assume with the
United States. No reason has yet been
made apparent why such a question
should be referred to Aguinaldo for
settlement

determined to probe the matter to the
bottom: and as General Miles is satisfied
with the composition of the court, it is

for the people to Judge from. After this
