MULTUM IN PARVO,

The most significant remark of the
Hop. w. Davis during his elt quent
and mastery oration in which fe pre-
ssnted TO the American people ali the
facts in the history of savage persecu'
cution and murder in south Africa on
the part of England. was his answer to
I,muk coming from the audience,
casting reflections upon Mr.. McKin-
ley's attitude, saying, "You will fad
that the administration is patriotic and
will do ita full duty 10 this matter" ."
Mr. Davis, who hes for years been
prominent in the counsels OF the repnh-
licau party. is OIL terms of intimate
friendship with Mr.. Mckinley. with
whom he had several conferences
within the last few days. 1t is there
for m re than likely that he is now
acting 10 full accord with the ad
nj istration. Mr.. Mckinley is a
shrewd politician, who has never been
leader, attempting to make public
OPT, ion, but has always bseO fond OF
8 swimming with the tide. He must
see that ninety per cent. OF the Ameli-
can people are Boer sympathizers
aud he is undoubtedly preparing the
ground Tor a change OF front on the
Boer question, % he has done on every
other public question, and he will do
so when the opportune moment comes.
II has been tariff reformer, while q
member of Congress became rampant
prote ctionist, and bias lately shown
s)me signs OF being 10 favor tf free
,rade. He has been an advocate OF free
silver, developed into q bimetallist, and
finally became gold monometallist.
He has been preaching the doctrine
that to the party belongs the spoils. ad.
vocated civil service reform later on and
has reverted back to the spoils system
by partly nullifying the civil service
law, so lbsraly interpreted by MIR.
Cleveland. The fine presentation by
Sir. DAvis of the Boer side of the ques-
ton will make public opinion more Bit
ter against England, and as soon as Mr..
Mckinley is convinced that it is over
whelming enough be will give the coun-
try similar surprise as Mr.. Cleveland
did give il when, on hia return from o
ducking trip. he called halt to Eng
'and's aggression in Venezuela, and 10
this change of front he will be backed
up by his party. boER.

PHILIPPINE ROADS.
Million Dollars to BE Spent in the
Improvement of Roads at and
Near Manila.

The Philippine commission has APP
propriated $1,o00,O0o for the improve
ment of the roads in the island of Luz
zon If this sum be wisely and eco
nomically expended in constructing
highways connecting important towns,
so as to enable the inha bitants to have
easy communication with each other,
even during the rainy season, it will
have beneficial effect upon the people
of the territory through which the
roads pass probably greater than could
have been secured by any other expend-
iture.
The Spaniards did not seem to regard
a road as necessary or even desirable
unless it would serve military pur-
pose. The railway from Manila to Dag
upan gave them ample means of trans
porting troops, ammunition and stores
between those places, and beyond Dag
upan they built fine, broad macadam-
lied boulevard as far as Nigan. There
is similar highway across the island
near its southern extremity. General
ly speaking, however, Luzon has no
roads. except these two, that can be
Travelled by vehicle in the rainy sea-
son. and few of them are navigable on
horseback. Naturally the Fihpinos do
not stray far from their home villages.
and news as we'll as merchandise does
not circulate freely. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find a variety of dialects
spoken by the natives in traversing 80
or 40 miles, and this diversity of lam
guage has been perpetuated by the diff
culties in the way of travel
Already a start has been made by
the United States officers in Manila.
where the streets have been greatly
improved. and this feature Of American
progress has been one of the most pop
ular of any introduced by our people.
There seems to be a noticeable connec-
ton between the means of commune
cation OF a country and its progress to-
ward civilization. Bodily motion ap-
pears to stimulate movement ment allv
and spiritually. If. therefore, the ST.
100000 just appropriated for good roads
in Luzon is devoted to the making of
satisfactory highways and is not partly
diverted into the pockets of shiftless
or dishonest contractors who give no
equivalent therefor. it is probable that.
whatever may be the ultimate fate of
the island, future generations of Fill
pinos will applaud the first legislative
act of the American commission as one
of the wisest steps it could have taken.

Science of Seed Sowing.

1t should not be forgotten in sowing
vegetable seeds. and. for the natter of
that. all seeds. that they must have air,
moisture and darkness in order 10
sprout properly. If sown deeper than
they desire they rot; if too shallow,
the light is too intense or they do not
get moisture enough AS rule they
should be as near the surface as po>>
sible, with the rather dry earth packed
around them as firmly as possible The
surface earth should be rather dry or
it will not powder well-and this is
important in connection with air.
There is no air in soil pressed when
wet-but the more dry earth is pressed
and pounded the finer and more porous
it becomes. There is a great art in get.
ting seed to grow properly-and yet
the art is very simple when the prin.
ciples are understood. = Meehan's
