principle that 1t is proper always to ex-
press the largest possible established

the same time it is true that the symbol

subtractive, or MCM. And SO MCM is find

The Battle of the Numerals.

other mathematical worries than that re-

ference Of opinion to how the numeraI

erai ways of arranging the Roman numer-
ais are possible, and the battle of the Ms

fairly on. AS matter Of fact the Roman
numerh has fallen largely out of use dur

tened to the more easily written and under

cut intricate problems in the Romans The
year 1890 may be regarded as four hundred
years after the year 1900 or one hundred
years short Of the year 1000. Much depends
upon the point of view. If the year 1900 is
taken as the base of calculation. that being
the last multiple of 500 the present
year may be written MDCCCC, meaning
one thousand years, five hundred years and
four hundred years, total Of nineteen
hundred. Or. somewhat on the same basis
it may be written MDCD. which means one
thousand, five hundred and hundred less
five hundred. THIS, however, is an avk-
ward method, and might confuse some non
experts. Taking the year 1000 as q basis
two ways are possible, MON, meaning one
thousand and hundred less another thous-

Three daily papers in Washington receive
credit in the December issue of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory for 1899 for an
average daily circulation of over 10000
copies. The Evening Star is en-
titled to first consideration. 1t has made
known it's actual output with careful ac-
curacy through a long series of years,
being and having long been one of the most
painstaking AMI consistent of all the Amer
lean daily papers that believe an adver-
tiser entitled to know the amount OF sery-
ice that Is given him for his money. The
latest circulation rating accorded The Star
covers the year 1898 and shows an average
issue Of SO, 149 copies sold. delivered, fur
nshed or mailed. The editor of the Direc-
tory further credits The Star with being
one of the very few papers that are valued
by advertisers more for the class, charac-
ter and quality of its circulation than for
the mere quantity of it. This valuation is
indicated in the Directory by the bull
eye" O., a figure that, according to Web
ster. was used by the alchemists of old to
denote pure gold.

Were settled beyond dispute either by an

the formal ahrogation of the treaty. The
Senate last year. by a vote of IS to g..
passed a bill calling upon the President to
open negotiations to this end. and as far as
that record goes the country through its
treaty-maknE power, has declared its pur-
pose to proceed upon other lines than those
laid down in the treaty. which was orig
inally intended to facilitate the construc-
tton of the canal. but which has proved one
OF The most serious obstacles. As to the
suggestions OF the London Post that there

trade use of the canal. there is no need for
d"ntal or debate. 1t has never been the
purpose of the United States to seek to dis
crtminate. in the exercise. of its control be-

must. however, reserve the right to utilize
the canal in emergency as a war agency
exclusively for its own benefit, and to reg
uiate Its war uses by other nations in
manner to preserve the prestige of this
republic as neutral, or. should the occa-
sion ever arise, as an ally. To this end
partnership is impossible and the early ut
terance of official opinion so declaring
might perhaps be of service to discourage
agitation abroad along the lines OF the
comments of the Post and the Chronicle.

ExGOv. Boutwell, is one of the frankest
of the anti-mI,erialists. as witness this
statement of his to reporter of the New
York Tribune:
My position on the Philippines is sinplv
this: | would turn my back upon them. +
would remove the troops and all our ships
with as little delay possible. and leave
the islands to take care OF themselves /
40 not consider that We owe any duty to-
ward them. but l would treat them exactly
as England treated America after the bat
tie of Yorktown"
This is not only frank. but does it not
mark division in the anti-imperialisr
camp? 1t certainly disassociates Mr.. Bout
well from Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Boutwell, would not stand upon the order
Of going. but would go at once His only
thought is of escaping from further trouble
anu responsibility. He does not consider
that we owe the Filipinos anything. The
suggestion that anarchy would follow the
withdrawal of the United States from Tho
scene. ana foreign intervention follow that
d"eS not affect his view in the slightest
HIS attitude. in nutshell is that it is of
no consequence what happens Just so it
doesn't happen to The United States So he
would solve the difficulty by sounding a re-
treat, and letting the wide world wag as it
will.
Now this is not the attitude of either Mr.
H"ar or of Mr.. Bryan. The former for all
he regrets our presence in the Philippines
and advocates an independent government
or the islands. would not have this coun-
try turn its back on them. but would have
/: stand by while an independent govern
m"nt Is forming, and even longer and then
make treaty with the new government
Tor future Use. And Mr.. Bryan urges
something of similar nature. His heart
Is touched. and he would assist the Fill
pinos to Independence, stand by and steady
them in thcii' toddling stage, and then bid
for their friendship in the matter of trade.
and warn off unfreEdly strangers.
Here then are DISCLOSED two divisions of
The anti-imperialist forces Mr. Boutwell,
who Is not in Office. not an applicant for
office. and so not governed by official re-
sronsibiiity or considera tons of vote-get-
ting. comes out boldly for unconditional
surrender. Emil ark the troops, weigh the
anchors of the feet, and end it all. Mr..
Bryan cannot afford this. FurIing the flag
and running away would be a rIinous
policy to advocate on the eve Of the presi-
Dental campaign. And so. unlike Mr.. Bout
well. who seems TO be getting ready to vote
for him for President, Mr. BRYAN cousid-
ers that we do owe the Fiiipinos something,
ana that We should stay and pay it, even
az a heavy cost to ourselves.

Won Out on Expansion.
the Louisville CONVERSATIONAL.

1t was on the slate in Mississippi to elect
Ex-Governor Lowry to the United States
Senate, but to the surprise of the poll
tcians Mr. Sullivan won. Sullivan was the
only member of the Mississippi delegation
in Congress who supported the treaty with
Spain, and he made his campaign for the
Senate boldly and ardently in advocacy of
national expansion, to which fact it is now
conceded. he owed his victory. Every re-
cent development in the south is strongly
indicative that the southern states cannot
be counted on to oppose expansion and their
own interests at the dictation of few
bankrupt politicians.
