SENATOR HoARs PREDICTION.

Some of the Republican papers have
been looking over Senator Hears speeches
for the purpose OF finding out whether he
is consistent in opposing permanent pos
session OF the Philippines by this country
One of them, the Commercial Advertiser
of New York, found something which
shows. it thinks, that the Massachusetts
Senator was good deal of an expans.onist
not longer ago than four years. In Decem-
| Der, 1895, he delivered a speech at the PHI
grins' Day celebration at Plymouth, in the
course Of which he said:
"The tree our fathers sci covered at first
a little space by the seaside. 1t has plant
ed its banyan branches in the ground. II
has spread along the lakes. 1t has gitdied
the Gulf. Il has spanned the Mississippi
Ii has covered the prairie and the plain
The sweep of It's lofty arches rises over
the Rocky mountains and the Cascades
and the Nevadas. Its hardy growth shelf
ers the frozen regions of the Northwest
Its boughs hang over the Pacific. And In
tlme-in good time-it will send its roots
beneath the waves and receive under its
vast canopy the islands of the sea.
AS the Senator did not take occasion at
that time to condemn any policy that
might be adopted looking towards the ac-
auisition of the islands of the sea, but
spoke rather as if he would approve pol
lev of that sort the Commercial-Adver-
tiser is under the necessity of assuming
that his views in respect to expansion in
the direction of the islands of the sea have
undergone a radical change.
But may it not be that the Senator, when
he delivered his Pilgrims Day speech, had
in mind the acquisition of islands OF the
sea with the consent of the inhabitants OF
the islands? He has offered no opposition
10 the acquisition of Porto Rico and Ha-
wall, and perhaps he would not oppose
holding on TO the Philippines, if the Fill
pinos were willing that their Islands
| should become part of the United $ ates,
| There is a great difference between acqu r
ing territory by force and acquiring ii by
| consent The Filipinos, at least a very
| considerable portion of them, have shown
! decided disinclination TO accept our rule.
| Perhaps if they were to be informed as TO
| the position il is proposed they shall oc-
cupy under the government Of the United
| States they would be less inclined TO con-
tinue their opposition to the programme
| of our government.

Superstition in Quakerdom.

Few of the older downtown colored resi-
dents can be induced TO cross Washing
ton Square alone after nightfall, says the
Philadelphia Record. In fact, some of
them cannot be persuaded to pass the
limits of the square after nishtfall under
any consideration. This fact led Policeman
Skinner of the Nineteenth district into a
queer pre- d.cament the other night. While
on duty he noticed an aged colored man
acting in very suspicious manner. The
old fellow timidly approached the square
and hesitated about entering. The police
man was about to step up and make in
quiry when the man asked a passer-by
what square it was. why. Washington
Square" was the reply. Without another
word the old man darted away, with the
policeman in pursuit. When caught he
could give no explanation, and 1t was de-
cided to lock him up This necessitated
a trip across the square, and the captive
begged piteously: Don't take me across
dat mister policeman; OATS an old grave
yard. and I'll done hab no luck all my
life IL 1 step on dem dead men" The po-
liceman brushed up his history a bit, and
found that the cid man was right about
the graveyard, and he let him go his
way. A number of revolutionary soldiers
are buried in the square
