Mum lIiE eultor OF tHe Wo-
II mans Journal of Boston, Mr..
a Henry b. Blackwell comes,
with request for publica-
ton, a plea for the immediate organ
ization in LuZon of q territorial form
of government nearly similar to that
enjoyed by New Mexico. Mr.. Black
we'll wants the Filipinos, under certain
franchise restrictions, to have the right
to elect their own legislature and to
be represented in congress by a dele
gate with voice but not with vote; he
also wants them to have unrestricted
free trade with the states. and to be
in every way on a par with our do
mestic territories save III the reserva-
tion by congress of the right to veto
legislation passed by the territorial as
sembly Inspired by enthusiasm over
this plan, our Boston confrere ex-
claims.
This condition of affairs would
bring, alike to ourselves and to thes sa
new possessions, an unparalleled agri-
cultural prosperity-a free interchange
of temperate and tropical products,
upon a scale hitherto unknown, at
prices mutually bcneficial.-a perma-
nent and increasing market for Amer
lean manufacturers continuous field
for investment for American capital
and enterprise--and a commerce such
as no nation has ever before enjoyed
This natural commerce between the
temperate and torrid zones would cre-
ate fleet of American vessels not de-
pendent upon subsidies for prosperity,
and would vastly enlarge the traffic
upon our railroads, canals. and lake
and river steamers. Cur -four. beef,
pork, mutton, cattle. hay, wheat, corn,
oats. and dairy products, our cotton
and linen goods, machinery, agricul-
tural tools, hardware. coal, petroleum.
lumber, building materials, and u
thousand articles Of comfort, taste and
luxury, would be freely exchanged for
sugar, tobacco, tea, coffee, chocolate,
rice. india rubber mahogany. hemp,
jute, spices, and tropical fruits, all Of
which would be supplied at far lower
prices than now prevail. Compared

1t. Yet the learning of this lesson Is
a necessity of their situation, equally
so whether It Is to be their ultimate
fate to stand alone In independent
nationality or to form part of the
great republic. For in either case. our
obligation to teach this lesson is the
same: and our guardianship cannot
end until 1t Is mastered.
1t is encouraging to observe that as
this wholesome discipline proceeds un-
der the expert guidance of the new
governor general there is not that
display of restlessness among the
natives which was so noticeable under
the Brooke regime. 1t would seem
that the majority of Cubans are at
last convinced of the honesty of the
United states intentions and con-
scious that in the person of General
Wood they have over them a ruler
neither to be fooled nor to be fright
ened. This in itself Is great gain
to them as well as source of relief
to us. While the work ahead Is great
and difficult the spirit exhibited
prompts hope of success.

LAWToN's LAST BATTLE.

(San Mateo. December 10. 1897
Up the Mariquina valley
In sheets of pouring rain,
Through rows of sodden rice fields
And miles of tramplcd cane,
Knee-deep in mud and water,
Against a storm Of lead,
The Yankee troops went riding
With Lawton at the head.
He laughed at death or danger,
The bravest of the brave.
AS he faced the flaming trenches,
But bullet dug his grave.
His fearless eyes were covered,
His steed before him led,
When the shallow stream was forded
With Lawton at the head.
His sword was sheathed beside him,
The blood was on his breast,
The general who never rested
Lay in eternal rest.
But his guns played Yankee Doodle,
The valley grass was red.
San MateO was entered
With Lawton at the head.
She mourns him in Manila, .
And sighs at every breath,
The widow of the soldier
Who died a soldiers DEATH
Long she may weep and listen
To hear the horses tread,
Or see the plumes of yellow
With Lawton at the head.

Whose names are ever green,

And Anthony, marine;

Fond chum of joys and tears!

Roberts Must Go.
WAS RESERVED for Congress

vt WAS RESERVED for Congress-
man Lands Of Indiana to make
II the most effective point yet
brought out against the repre-
sentative elect from Utah, Polyganlist
Erirham u. Roberts. We u,lote from
the Washington correspondence of the
Indianapolis Press:
While Roberts of Utah was in the midst
of his argument ton Friday lasO before
the Taylcr investigating committee, Mr..
Iandis asked suddenly, "iour under
standing of the term marriage is cere-
mony and not a condition. Roberts re-
Piled afirnIativclN, and Mr.. LandiS de-
cldrcd that the dictionaries defined mar
riago as state or condition. the Cere-
mony Icing simply its lnauGuration This
was Il telling point III regard to Inc pro-
vision Of the Utah enabling act which
~ pvidcd: "Poygamous or plural mar
rages are hereafter prohibited. and Mr..
Iandis conttndcd that the intention Of
consress was to eradicate the practice
of pOlyganny in ttah ana put the law 5
ban ON the further continuance of polyS-
amous conditions. Mr.. Landis' argument
COMPLETELY ,lrsct Roberts, and the latter
part of his plea was very weak.
Ino WnO'e TENOR O1 tne ueleHSe III
this case has been to read into the
Titan enabling act and into the con-
stitution of Utah meaning with re-
srect to polygamOus relations which
the words themselves do not convey.
In support of the Mormon assertion
that there was tacit understanding
that plural marriages already con-
tracted We're to be carried out in good
faith there has been introduced no
evidence whatever. There probably
would have been no quarrel with Rob-
| erts had he remained in private life;
the disposition is not to punish him
for his polygamy; but when he made
political capital of his violation Of
law and tried to secure the sanction OF
congress for that violation, he eX-
hibited temerity which could not be
allowed.
Hence he will lose his seat.

The propriety of the board Of control
coming to some agreement with City
Controller Howell whereby the ac-
counts of the board may be audited by
him is apparent when 1t is understood
that If this is not done there will be
no check whatever upon the board
expenditures. The large volume of
business handled annually by the board
warrants liberal payment for an efti
ciont audit, and Democrat though he
be. City Controller Howell has shown
that he possesses sharp eyesight and
true CNmric grit.

I'll not gainsay your beauty, for indeed
you're wondrous fair,
But tell me- oh. pray you. how you ever
fix your hair?
1t sweeps in wavy billows up and down
and round the page,
1t winds you and 1t binds you in an inky,
silken cage.
And, while you are about It, lovely type
of perfect grace.
Explain the way you manage to secure
your gown in place;
It's made of airy nothings, and 1t hardly
seems to touch,
And If you'll send a pattern will thank
you very much.
I hope you won't be angry, but another
thing I'd know
A question that perplexes me as seasons
come and 60
What do you call the flowers you invarl-
ably wear
Those little things like cabbages that
nestle in your hair?
