"One reason for giving the money is,
there are great many boys from this
part of the State VINO are unable to
pay their own school expenses and
are educated at William and Mary
by the State. We thought that this
part of the State should do a little
more towards paying the expenses of

RESTRICTED HOME RULE.
Tho Philippine Commission Believes H
VIII Be Safe to Allow FiIipInos to Run
Their Local AnatrH-

New York, Feb. "a survey of the
first half of the report of the Phil
iPpines commission, as submitted to
the president, is published here. The
commission believes it would be safe
and expedient and desirable to grant
to the inhabitants of the archipelago
home rule in local affairs. The towns
should enjoy the rights and privileges
of towns in territories of the United
States. The provinces should be
turned into counties, with the same
functions as counties in the United
States. This system might be APP
piled to Luzon and the Visayan is
lands at once. 1t is intended that the
Fiipinos shall govern the towns and
counties by self-elected officers, sub
ject to general laws. The suffrage
should be restricted by educational
or property qualifications, or both.
A small body of American officials of
great ability and integrity should be
appointed to advise the town and
county officials in the discharge of
their duties. One commission for
each 100000 natives might suffice.
The commission advocates a second
class territorial government for the
archipelago, in which only a portion
of the legislature should be chosen by
the Filipinos. The commission would
have no American placed in office
when Filipino would do as we'll, and
the merit system should be adopted
for the Filipino civil service. The
finances should be managed for the
benefit of the islands. The scheme of
government should be put into effect
as soon as possible.

SENATORS WARM UP.
Mr. Pettigrew Denounced on the
Floor for Philippine Utterances.
Statement That AguInaIdO Had Been Re-
ceIVed with Military HOnOrs That
His Flag Was SaIuted Denied
by Admiral Dewey.

Washington, Feb. 1.-When the
senate convened Wednesday Mr.. Petit
grew said he wished statement made
by Aguinaldo printed as a document.
He said if it was not allowed he would
read the statement and thereby get
it in the record. Mr.. Hawley said
he would object to the reading as
reasonable. ''It is giving aid and
comfort to the enemy and that is
what the senator from South Dakota
is doing all the time,'' said Mr.. Haw-
ley.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) objected to the
Aguinaldo statement because he said
it was a mass of falsehoods. He re-
scented the statement that informa-
ton was being held back. Mr.. Lodge
also read a statement from Admiral
Dewey denying the statement of
Aguinaldo and saying that he had
never received him with military
honors, nor saluted the Filipino flag,
nor promised the Filipinos independ-
ence in any way whatever.
Mr.. Spooner thought it was about
time to draw the line upon this con-
slant and daily suit of Aguinaldo
against the United States. He said
that no statement of a man IN arms
against the United States should be
placed on the records of the senate.
Mr.. Spooner made a touching allusion
to Gen. Lawton and read letter of
the dead general who deprecated the
utterances of the anti-imperialists in
America on account of their effect in
the Philippines.
Mr.. Gallinger IN. H. said that it
was time the kind of argument of the
South Dakotan should cease in the SEN
ate. He said it was a question
whether we should believe the
charges of Aguinaldo or the state
ment of Admiral Dewey.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) said he thought
that all the truth should be known.
He thought great mistake was made
in refusing to pass the resolutions of
inquiry. He also thought there
should be no objections to print
ing documents. If they were true
they ought to be known; if false,
their untruthfulness would be shown.
Mr.. Teller (Col.) said he doubted if
there was much profit in continuing
this kind of discussion. He said if we
had withdrawn from the Philippines
Aguinaldo would not have been the
be flying there. The islands were
valuable and by some arrangement
European nations would have effected
an agreement by which they would
have held them.

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their
Stock.

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to friend in the United States is
only one of a hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and Industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion.
Dear Sir:
You want to know how got along
since came into Northern Alberta. I
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the 18th of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 18x2O inside, so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the 1st
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
COW and two span of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them to go into in cold
time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. know all of
their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and a great
deal more. All of US are comparative
ly out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of a fair
price, and L expect we are as we'll con-
tented lot of people as there are from
Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up team
and make for town for 100 lbs more
[ cannot say how it will thresh. All
can say is that it is well headed, and
takes an enormous amount of Irvine.

A CAREFUL BRIDE.
She Didn't Give Hubby a Chance tn
Make Any Declaration of
Devotion.

The happy pair had survived the con.
gratulations of friends and relatives, and
were being whirled rapidly towards the
railway station, before the bridegroom be
gan fairly to realize that the vision of love
illness at his side was indeed his own.
A dawning sense of what he had gone and
done and of the sacred charge that was
now committed to his care began to creep
upon his benumbed faculties, driving the
rose of health from his downy cheek and
substituting therefor the pallor of haunt
ing responsibilities.
Darling he whispered, softly, '.it will
ever be my sacred care in life to" She in
terrupted him somewhat brusqueIy.
Now" said she, F'don't sit on your coat
tails that way and get them all wrinkled up,
and for goodness sake don't lay your elbow
right in that dust! Heaven only knows how
long, it will be before you get another suit,
SO that you better take care of this one.
Now, when we get to the station, you'd bet
ter ,get.a couple of sandwiches in case we
get hungry in the train, and two hard boiled
eggs, and don't forget small paper of pep
per and alt'-Tit-Bits.
