In the light OF existing conditions IL IS
difficult 10 realize that there is any posi-
bllity of such future for the islands, es-
poCially so az at present. and for many
years to come, the necessity OF large
American military and naval force is too
apparent 20 admit Of discussion On the
other hand, however, there are many en-
couraging conditions TO sustain such a con-
viction. For example, in the Philippines
there is no dynasty TO destroy; no organ
lied system Of feudal laws TO eradicate; no
principles inconsistent with repubicanism
which had solidly insinuated themselves
into the national life TO displace. no ad-
verse aspects of nature TO overcome. on
the contrary, nature, which is eXuberant
balmy and generous, has nourished into ex-
!stence several millions OF sensitive and
credulous people, without allegiance TO any
existing Institutions. but animated by Ger
tain iuchoate ideas and aspirations, which
by some unfortunate perversion of thought
they conceive 10 be threatened by America.
These people, fortunately. are intelligent
generous and flexible and probably Will

gers cover half an inch for each key she

less than Is miles, or let us say, even IS
miles a month. That Is pretty fair

TRADE OF TIENTSIN.
1t L. One of the Most Important Conn
mercial cities of the Chinese
Coast.

The bund, or water front, gives one
some adequate idea Of the commercial
Importance of Tientsin. The decks
Of Liverpool or New York, although
many times greater In extent, are not
more crowded and busy. Here the
lighters, anchored In the river, just
across the way from the great ware
houses, are loaded with cargo to be
sent out or which has just been re-
ceiyed from the ships at Taku. There
are mountains of bales done up IN
mating and bound securely with iron
for their protection in the long jour
ney TO the uttermost quarters OF the
globe; there are boxes and casks Of
Chinese make marked London or
Hamburg, and IN the midst of all this
merchandise throngs of half-naked
coolies swarm like insects, insects fur
nished with lusty and never-silent
voices. There are tons Of wool from
Mongolia, camels' hair, skins, char
coal, and soda from Siberia, mats and
grain. One now and then has whiffs
OF musty perfume, the breath OF ORR
entail bazars, spice and sandalwood.
1t is one OF the busiest spots in the
world and can furnish n succinct OBJ
iect lesson to one at all interested IN
the problem of our commercial rela-

I'D I'm story Intended to

Myron IIasBins, of Philadelphia, has
been relating a few "reminiscences of
past national conventions, and in that
connection was reminded of funny
anecdote in which Martin Maginnis,
former delegate in congress from
Montana, was concerned. Just prior

which nominated Cleveland and Thur

squelch them Hills enemies started u

"a prime mover in a scheme to extract
money for campaign purposes from
the laborers on the new asueduct by
means Of a rattle for a pig, which was
held at the home of a Widow Magin-

everyone's mouth. Gen. Pat" Col
Inns, of Boston, was chairman Of the
convention, and in its early hours a
member of the Montana delegation,
which had an obscure position,
climbed up on his chair and secured
recognition. Collins did not know
him personally, and naturally asked
him 20 state his name. "Maginnis'

fore that time. He refers TO the change in
Aguinaldo's plans in abandoning his army
organization and starting guerrilla war
fare. The conditions of the country have
afforded advantages for such policy, he
says, as they have enabled the insurgents
TO appear and disappear at their con-
Venience. At one time they are soldiers,
and Immediately after are within the Amer
