NO Politics FOR DEPENDENCIES.

IL the course of comment on the Cuban post
Office scandal "The indianapolis News" makes
an observation of profound wisdom and sig
niticance- 1t ought 10 be taken to heart by every
thinker on the problem presented by our new
possessinns. and especially by those who are
led away 10y sentimental notions 10 demand that
the people of those territories be put at once in
the same relation 10 the general Government as
the inhabitants of the lands which have been
for fifty years under our rule. 1t declares: I'VE
"can expect none of the things TO which in
theory and in hope we look except by a sepa-
ration of the administration Of our dependen-
''cies from our National politics..
Such a sentiment may be reproached as i'm
perialisric The Democrats who We're recently
complaining so loudly because the Porto Rican
bill treated that island as a distinct estate are
committed 20 the idea that the Porto Rcan and
the Filipino already citizens of the United
States and are the victims of tyranny If not
allowed actually or prospectively 10 minge in
our domestic politics. But THE New-York
Evening Post" which itself opposed the bill and
speaks from knowledge. said the other day.
THE leaders OF the opposition We're chiefly con-
'cerned 10 have the bill so constructed as 10
make as much trouble as possible for their ad-
'versares." Had they succeeded in the attempt
TO extend our laws 10 Porto Rico they would
indeed have made trouble for their adVerSarieS
and likewise for the whole country and made
difficult the creditable solution of our expansion
problems. Those problems must be solved apart
from the contests OF our National politics. and
~ they will inevitably be of long standing il is
important meanwhile 10 take steps toward
making them a part of home territory.
Everybody realizes the danger of making the
Civil Service OF the dependencies a refuge for
home politicians. While there are some OBJ
sfacles 20 he overcome and some mistakes are
sure TO be made as in this postoffice business
get there are excellent prospects that the Off
cial sense Of responsibility and the popular tenn
per will hold colonial administration up TO the
necessary high standard so long as that admin
istration is a National trust. But put the isl
ands with their opportunities for Adventures
and intriguing politicians. the same basis
with respect 10 National politics as New-Mexico
and all general sense OF obligation would cease
In each island factions would grow up in al
lance with the several political parties All
questions concerning them would be fought out
on 4 political basis. and their real interests as
well as the interest of the United States in
them. would be sacrificed 10 the play Of party
politics Nor would party positions on internal
affairs OF the islands be controlled by general
principles but would depend entirely on the

THE Rochester Post-Express'' does not think
that any higher court will ever reverse Judge
Lochren's decision" That is probably true. His
decision that Ortiz had no rights under the Con-
stitution in Porto Rico at the time of his trial
Will doubtless stand. His opinion that somebody
else under other circumstances would have
rights in Porto Rico under the Constitution was
purely personal and not official and no higher
court ever review it, much less reverse 1t.

Il is Just as easy 20 drift into danger
as 20 drive into IT. The progress IS slower
but the end is equally sure. II IS the
gradual progress Of drifting which blinds
10 the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such a way. There u a
little feeling Of oppression after eating.
After a time il passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something IS done
70 relieve the headache, but nothing TO
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on 20 the rocks Of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt To become victims
Of disease Of the stomach. They eat in
judiciOusly, in sOfae cases, and in gen
eral the brain Is too occupied 10 allow
the stomach the blood necessary 10 carry
on It's functions. Hence in time the
organs Of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home chronic invalid.

A Cure for SIander.

The following very homely but SIM
gularly instructive lesson is by st.
Philip Neri A lady presented her

Of being given to SANDER. "Do YOU

quired the Saint YES, father, very

Great was the astonishment of the
lady in receiving so strange pen
ance; but s.lencIng all human reason,
she replied, 81 will obey, You, father;
I will obey" Accordingly she re-
paired to the market, bought the fowl
and set aut on her Journey, pluckiug
it as she went along, as she had been
ordered
In a short time she returned, anx-
i5us to tell of her exactuess in accom-

have scattered.
But, father, exclaimed the poor
woman, "that is impossible | cast

About this time a train came down

they fell back. It commenced raining

Brown If he would surrender, but he
would not yet he said if the citizens
