was good, and the proud remarks Of the
fruit men as they pointed out the excel.

they had grown, showed the ambition
that makes for success. But only few
plates of grapes adorned the tables. and

pied kind known to small boys. The
floral exhibit was Insignificant The

Unless Senator Hoar, in preach
ing the gospel of the Declaration OF
Indepence, is an old fogy, who
blinks uncomprehendingly in the
golden sunlight of new dispensa-
ton, the American people will sid e
with him rather than with the
young and eloquent and splendidly
sordid senator from Indiana.
1t is we'll that the Philippine
debate has begun in Congress. the
people of this country want infor-
nation. They want the thought OF
the best minds turned upon the
subject. The people do not yet
know what their duty is, and de-
bate will clear away the doubt.
Duty and not gain will determine
policy, for the decision, after all,
lies with the masses, whose heads
take their hearts as we'll as their
pockets into consideration when
thinking what is to be done.
