A LA wEyLER.

One essential reason why Mr.. Nc
Kinley is afraid to offer mediation be-
tween Great Britain and the Beers Is
that 1t exposes his own conduct toward
the Filipinos to the sneers of the
world. He is now talking Of issuing q
proclamation declaring all Filipinos
bearing arms to be bandits, not en-
titled to the protection of the rules of
war. This is another way of saying
that no quarter is to be given to any
found with arms in their hands.
Gen. Weyler has been held up to the
execration Of humanity for issuing a
similar order directed against the Gu
ban patriots. And yet his order had at
least the technical justification that
the Cubans we're in the eyes Of the
world still subjects Of Spain. But the
Filipinos have accepted American
sovereignty and have from the first
denied the right Of Spain against whom
they had for three years been In rebel
lion, to transfer a sovereignty over
them which she did not possess.-Bur

QUEER BANKING.

The failure Of Tunstal & Co.. big

ner Of doing banking. This is attribut-
ed as the cause OF the failure.
Owing to the banks refusing to GER
tify our checks we were obliged to sus-
pend temporarily"
That is to say, the banks are in the
habit of certifying checks against boz
gus deposits to enable Wall street
plungers to swindle the lambs. No
wonder the United States treasury is
needed to protect "industrials." This
certifying of checks creating fictitious
money amounts to about one hundred
billions Of dollars per annum, and the
commercial agencies boast OF 1t as
prosperity.

DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC.

Ex-Mayor Albion A. Perry "a Repub-
lican), in a lecture in Somerville lie, Mass,
the other day, uttered some home
truths that will bear fruit and aid in
the direction OF securing good govern
ment according to American ideas:
II submit that it is immoral for q
republic to forsake republican prln-
ciDles, and set itself up in the business
of monarchical government. This is
Just what our imperialistic politicians
are asking the American people to do.
AS yet there Is no pretense that the
Filipinos will be granted full political
rights or allowed to participate in ma
tional legislation. They will be held
in subsection by military force as they
were under Spanish rule. Their rela-
lions with their subjugatcTs vii be a
pointed denial of the affirmation that
''all men are created equal" an utter
abandonment of the doctrine that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" a
justification of the once odious prac-
tice of taxation without representa-
ton"
A republic ought not to maintain
sovereignty over any territory that is
denied a republican form of govern
ment, and by this l mean govern
ment carried on by the governed. II
the Filipinos are required to acqulesce
in American sovereignty, they should
have voice IN determining the nature
and incidents of that sovereignty. II
they are to be subjectrto the laws OF
the United States they should have a
part in framing those laws. If they
must submit to the rule of the presi-
dent and congress, they should have a
vote in the>eiection of The president
and members of congress. They should
have the same free management of
their local affairs enjoyed by the In
habitants of the United States, and the
same representation in the various
branches Of the general government
which is accorded to the people of the
several states. A resident OF the is
land of Luzon compelled to live under
the American flag, If he is as intelli.
gent and well-educated as citizen o.
Massachusetts,, should have all the po
litical rights with which the Massachu.

WHERE NOT TO DIE.
Foreign Hotel-Keepers' BIN. Add New

Foreign Hotel-Keepers' Bills Add New
TerrOrs to Death.
Miss e. s. Whalley writes to the
London Times from the Via SAINT
Antonio. Pisa: "In the interest of
English people travelling in Italy beg
permission through your columns to
warn them against the extortions of
the Hotel Minerva, Pisa. To this end
l beg to make public the following de-
tails of the treatment of which have
been the victim: On Sept. last was
travelling from villa in Tuscany back
to Viareggio, having the care of an
aged and beloved friend, who on our
arrival at Pisa was too much fatigued
to proceed further. Consequently, in
tending to rest for the night, we
stopped at the Minerva hotel close to
the railway station, in order to escape
the opening of luggage at the gate il
we entered the city. In the night my
dear friend became very i'll. The doc
tor was sent for and he found her
suffering from congestion of the brain
and heart disease. She sl,ccNmbed to
these maladies in less than twenty -four
hours from the time we had entered
the hotel. The landlady of the hotel
brought forward claim for 1,700 lire
(s340) for damages on the occasion of
death in the house. I of course re-
fused to pay, and, after much angry
discussion, she consented to take LOO
lire ($220), which unfortunately paid
her. l was alone and, there being no
English consul here. had no one to
ask advice of. Had / known how to
act and applied to the head Of the
police, the Ubiquitous demand would
have been rejected, as in the case of
my friends death, according to the
medical certificate, there was not the
vestige Of any Infection. am tn
formed that In the case of typhus or
other infectious diseases the compen-
sation awarded is 500 lire or 500, and
In the present instance half that sum
alone could be claimed. The landlady
refuses to refund any part of the
money extorted. Public opinion is
unanimous in condemning her."

ENGLISH CONTEMPT.

One English newspaper, the London
Review. has the correct idea about
American newspapers and American
public sentiment, in the matter of the
war against the South African repub-
lies. 1t says:
We fear no correct presentment OF
the real feeling in America regarding
the war reaches this country, but there
is no doubt the balance Is against us.
The administration organs and imam
clal organs are still strongly with us,
but the latter are beginning to waver
because the war is beginning to injure
trade. 1t must not be forgotten how
completely the administration is in the
hands of the great tinanciers and trust
companies.

BY the time Mrs. Cleverdale got
through reading her voice was trem-
bling, and Fob was staring at her with
his eyes wide open. in the greatest
amazement. What wonderful vista
was here held out to him! He could
even picture the thing to himself
there. in that almost unknown country,
working hard to gain his uncle's con-
fidence, and trusted with the manage
ment OF large affairs. But then--to
leave his mother! That dear mother,
whose prop he had been since his faith
er died. He could not think of that.
There was silence for moment

Rob gulped down sob, and then and
there resolved to do just as his mother
advised. and to show as little emotion
as possible-thus making the parting
SO much easier for her.
Rob's picture was taken within the
week and sent to his Uncle David at
Buenos Ayres, with letter from his
mother, thanking Mr.. Horton, and ac-
cepting his tempting offer.
