FROM HERBERT SPENCER.

Right conduct is usually come short
Of more from defect Of will than defect
of knowledge.
Precepts often heard and little re-
garded lose by repetition the small in
tiuence they had.
There are lies told by actions as well
as lies told by words, and ethics give
10 more countenance TO the one than
the other.
1t is the duty OF every one who re-
CARDS doctrine as true and important,
to do what he can towards diffusing it,
leaving the result to be what il may.
There is no immediate connection be-
tween blOOd-thirstiness and the telling
OF lies Nor because man is kind
hearted does it follow that he is truth
full.
Most people dread far more the social
frOwn which follows the doing of some-
thing conventiOnally wrong, than they
do the Qualms of conscience. which fol-
low the doing Of something intrinsically
wrong.
Complete truthfulness is one of the
rarest of virtues. Even those who re-
gard themselves rs absolutely truthful
are daily guilty of Oyer-Statements and
understatements. ExaggeratiOn is al
most universal.
Let every one insist on reality and
sincerity and refrain as much as he can
from complimentary usages which in
volve untruths. Ii each resolves to tell
as few tactic lies as possible, social in,
tercOurse will be much healthier.

some prominent Fiiipinos that they
must wait for new supply, but they
said no, and suggested that we give
English instead Of Spanish books, de-
claring that the children would learn
very quickly"
This is encouraging. but even more
significan. is the following: AT pres
ent there is little understanding of n
real republican government. but the
people are eager to learn, and they
readily assimilate American ideas and
become AmericaniZed When once
they recognize the beneficence of our
institutions. these people will quickly
adopt them, adapting themselves to the
changed conditions
If all this is true the war policy of the
administration stands condemned by its
chief instrument Cancellation and rec
ognition of American principles are re-
quired. not brutal aggression. Tact
might have prevented the war. 1t may
yet bring peace. At any rate. we have
here a confession that the FilipinOs ex-
hibit marked liking and aptitude for
American ideas and principles. Why
not apply them?-St. Louis POst-Dis-
patch.
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1900-05-31

The FilipinOs are not well equipped
with arms. The native sword or bola
is their principal weapon. but hun
dred men week are added to the
death list by this terrible weapon. The
hospitals are OvercrOwded. Over six
thousand men are on the sick list, and
the rainy season is not yet four weeks
old. Neither the correspondents at
Manila nor the local newspapers there
are permitted to lay the facts before
the public. Yet i'm this horrible tragedy
corruption is rampant The lives and
even the deaths of American soldiers
and Filipions alike are compelled TO
pay tribute to the ghouls who thrive
amid death and uestilence.
Ii Is hard 10 conceive that the Amer
lean republic is rapidly approaching Il
period of corruption as deep and de-
grading as that which preceded the
downfall of the Roman Empire But
ii is unfortunately true. Every phase
of the Roman corruption is finding
repetition in the affairs of the United
States. Unbridled corruption and cru
city i'll the government of the Roman
colonies is repeated to-day in Cuba and
the Philippines. The rOttenness of
Rome was no greater than the rotten
ness prevailing in Washington. Rome
went through the farce of popular elec-
tions long after the will of the people
had been subverted by the compact and
powerful oligarchy at Rome. Here in
Washington the influence of less than
a hundred men Outweighs the senti-
ment of ten million voters. Worse yet,
there are strong signs that every i'm
pOrtant piece of legislation taking mon
ey from the public treasury. from the
ship subsidy bill and the appropriation
bills for building war vessels for the
navy to the Pacific cable subsidy bill,
is made to pay n tacit tribute to Mark
Hanna's Republican campaign fund.
This is a fearful charge. yet the signs
are only too evident that the favored
interests are the ones which furnish
the Republican corruption fund, and
that they furnish it because they are
favored. Only sweeping Democratic
victory next NOyember-overwhel

Washington correspondence:
The Cuban frauds grow in size and
significance every day. There does net
seem to be an honest man in the ser
vice. From the beginning the depart
ment at Washington declared with aD-
solute positiveness that there was GER
tainly one honest man, and that WAS
Postmaster Thompson of Havana. The
Senators from Indiana and every one
from Postmaster General Smith up and
down declared that Thompson was all
right. They argued. as did Abraham,
who pleaded for the city of the plain,
that if there was one honest man in
the Cuban postal service the service
should not be entirely condemned
Alas! Thompson had already fallen
by the wayside. Thompson is under
arrest and has confessed that he Dor
rOwed' money from the money order
funds, that lie instructed his subOrdi-
mates to juggle with the stamp ac-
counts and that whenever an inspec-
ton was to take place he would put in
money to cover the defalcation and take
1t out the next day. Alas, poor ThOmp-
son! a great deal of sympathy is ex-
pressed for him in administration or
gans, seemingly because they expected
him to be honest, though he has turned
out like the rest of them. As for Neely.
the head center of the corruption in
Cuba, the administration will now con-
slider itself lucky if the extent of his
loOting does not reach 100000. Never
was there such a close corporation
worked for the benefit of the insiders
as the Cuban postal service.
As for the administration, while with
one breath there is loud declaration
that every criminal shall be punished,
with the next breath orders are issued
in every direction to administration or
gans in this country and to the officials
in Cuba to minimize the whole affair
into the smallest possible compass.
Postmaster General Smiths newspa-
per, the Philadelphia Press, has scarce
ly mentioned the fact that there has
been corruption in Cuba. But there it
is, hanging like a milestone of corrup-
ton around the corrupt neck of cor
rupt administration.
