Another Prodigy.

"Well, SIR" said smallish man
with big blue veins on his temples, II
don't know what to do with my boy.
I'm awfully. worried about him. 1t
seems to me that he's too precocious.
We can't keep him from studying.
He's only 10 years old, but in school
they have to put him in classes with
children who range all the way from
IA to II. I'm afraid he'll overtax him
self"
"Oh, pshaw" said proud-appearing
young fellow who was clinging to a
strap a little nearer the door, don't
be alarmed. My boy beats that. He's
only six weeks old and knows all the
college yells, right now"

Signaling the Bank Rate.

There is quite mild excitement just
Of an innovation at that venerable
and conservative institution. A flag
staff has actually been placed above
the building, and many are shaking
their heads at the sudden giddiness
of the Old Lady Of Threadneedle
street. The suggestion has been made
in all seriousness that numbers might
well be placed on the flagstaff and the
bank rates indicated from time to time
by the height of the flag on the pole.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

It 10 Absolutely Essential to the Welfare
Of the United states.
The doctrine enunciated by Monroe,
and approved by succeeding presidents,
Is essential to the welfare Of the
United States. The continents Of
North and South America are dedi-
Gated to the development Of free gov
ernment. One republic after another
has been established, until today mon
archial idea has barely q foothold in
the new world.
While it is not the policy Of this
country to interfere where amicable
relations exist between European
countries and their dependencies in
America, our people would look with
disfavor upon any attempt on the part
of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forcible sovereignty
over the people living on this side Of
the Atlantic.
THE position taken by the Republic
an leaders, and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the presidency, viz: That we cannot
protect nation from outside inter-
ference without exercising sovereignty
over Its people, is an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine, for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
the proposition to give to the Filipinos
both independence and protection, it
is equally applicable to the republics
nf Nnr,fpO1 MI A If f1,io
government cannot lend its strength to
another republic without making SUBJ
jccts of its people, then we must
either withdraw our protection from
the republics to the south of us or alb
sorb them. Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal to its responsibility, Eu-
ropean nations have for centuries ex-
plotted their wards, and it is q Sig
nificant fact that the Republican party
should accept the European idea Of
protectorate, at the same time that it
adopts a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandon
ment Of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
+hree-quarters of century. The ex-
pense to us has been practically moth
ing, but the protection has been beyond
value to our sister republics. If a
Filipino republic is erected upon the
ruins Of Spanish tyranny, its protec-
tion by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
be willing for any other European M
ton to have the islands, neither would
any European nation be willing to pro-
woke a war with us in order to obtain
possession of the islands. II we as.
sert sovereignty over the Filipinos we
will have to defend that sovereignty by
force, and the Filipinos will be our
enemies; II we protect them from out
side interference, they will defend
themselves and will be our friends. If
they show as much determination in
opposing the sovereignty Of other na-
tions as they have shown in opposing
our sovereignty, they will not require
much assistance from us.

The Union Republican "Quid Pro Quo"
Recently, referring to the bold dsclara-
tion Of the Haserhill, Mass. Gazette
that: There will be no peace in Della
ware until he Mr.. Addicltsl has been
given his quid pro quo," Every Even
ing said:
Here Is az interesting question; What
serted to be Mr.. Addicks' dues Is IL
matter OF money contributed towards
carrying elections in Delaware?
No other construction can he placed
upon the assertion that there will be
no peace in Delaware until Mr.. Ad-
dicks has been "given his quid pro
quo" 1t simply means that he do
mands an election to the United States
Senate in return for money expended in
carrying Delaware for the Republican
ticket
To this the Haverhill Gazette makes
reply as follows:
Every Evening is quite correct In its
deductions. Mr. J. Edward Addicks
took hold politically when Delaware
was hopelessly Democratic. He helred
more than did any other man TO tip the
beam In the opposite direction, when
Anthony Higgins slipped in and took
the Senutorship. Since then the Della
ware pnrists have honored themselves
by electing Senator konney. yet make
up wry faces When Addioka is men
toned. Now Addiaks is neither better
nor worse than his critics He Ia not
In politics for bis health, and without
him the Republican party Of Delaware
would be in pitiful minority. HUI
manly speaking why should he not
be given his quid pro quoY A State
that sent Kenney to the Senate surely
is in no danger from anything Addicks
may do or leave undone.
But because State sends Kenney to
the Senate is no reason why 1t should
do infinitely worse by sending Addicks
TO succeed him.
TIE significant feature of the above
extract from the Haverhill Gazette is
tho frank admission on its Part that
Mr.. Addicks demands an election to the
United States Senate in return for
money expended in carrying Delaware
for the Republican ticket. This is an
impression long held by many good
people in this State, and the Haverhill
Gazette confirms it, The issue is thus
clearly drawn, and it will be the chief
one to be determined by the voters Of
Delaware at the next election.
1t may be wondered why it is that a
paper published in Haverhill, Mass,
can thus speak by the book" with
respect to the motives and purposes Of
]. Edward Addioks. The reason il
well.known to few people in Della
ware 1t Is that the owner and editor
Of the Haverhill Gazette was once
closely associated, personally and politi.
cally, with MIR. Addioks, and therefore
is intimately acquainted with his
devious ways in politics.
And then, Haverhill is very close tc
Boston. So is Mr.. Addicks.

The Problem of the philippines,

Associated Press advices from the
Philippines-and they are generally of
the most reliable character to the
effect that recent events have worked
to vindicate Gen. Lawton's judgment
that 100000 troors will be needed to
establish American sovereignty over"
the islands. That the insurgents, as
they are called, have been reorganized,
and that serious fighting is inevitable.
To maintain an army of 100, 900 men
and continue vigorous operations in the
Philippines will cost this country
500, 600, 900 q year. To use homely
form of inquiry: is the game worth
the candle?''
But there is more than this question
OF money to be considered. The report
that the Filipinos have become reorgan-
lied indicates their indomitable cour-
age, despite the fact that they are fight
ing against the most powerful and re-
sourceful nation in the world. But they
are fighting for liberty and self-goyern-
ment. Against this fact, what right
have we to establish American SOW
ereignty" in the Philippines? None
whatever. The only claim of right is
by virtue Of the payment of 800, 900, 600
to Spain, and yet the patriotic people
of the Philippines had been fighting
Spain for three centuries, in heroic
war for Independence,
Admiral Dewey said, in a cable to
the Navy Department in June, 1898
"These people Ltbe Filipinosl are far
superior in their intelligence, and more
capable of self-government, than the
natives of Cuba, and / am familiar
with both races. f" Here ia expert testi.
mony. Why not allow the people of th.
Philippines to exercise their natural
right Of self-goyernment, for which
they are undoubtedly capable, guaran
teeing them protection against interior
enoe.
Such a course would be far less costly
than the present policy Of war. L
would also be more manly, more patri
otto, and more American.

FISHING IN THE CANAL.
Use of Nets May be stopped in the Interests
a- }nf Sport. ar

.fr,s nt sport. ~
The completion Of the electric line to
Delaware City is likely to increase the
number of persons who go to the canal
to fish, and there Is talk Of making
regulations in the interests Of good
sport. The canal has been good fish
ing place for years, but because Of the
Inconvenience of access, the number of
fishermen has been comparatively
small. Net fishing has been allowed
and it has not apparently hurt the sport
for those who use the hook and line.
With the arrival Of increased num-
bers Of fishermen the sport may not be
SO good, and as protective measure
an attempt may be made to stop net
fishing. Money could probahly be raised
for stocking the canal with game fish
II the canal company would stop the
net fishermen.

in connection with the exciting
events progressing in China, the fol-
lowing report of an interview by a
prominent citizen of Paris with mem
her of the Chinese Imperial Commission
now in that city, as reported by the
London correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, ii be read with interest.
The Cllinaman said:
We are ready to fight all Europe.
We have an army you cannot overcome.
All the countries in the world may try
it in vain, we will astonish the world. %
With great energy of voice and action
this imperial Chinese delegate de-
cla,ed: "We are of heaven, and above
us is the sky alone. You foreign devils,
We will cut you all in pieces.
1t is refreshing thus to get to the
real thought of an educated Chinaman.
In quieter tone he added: Japan
has no race quarrel with China. On
the contrary, Japan will never see
China dismemhered by the white races.
The yellow races will eventually unite,
and now that China is awake they will
overrun Europe. Our countless mil
lions and our wealth must tell in the
long run. One or two, or three zen
turles what is that in the life of &
country like China?n
This bold and defiant talk--even if il
proves to he talk only--is in striking
contrast to what has been universally
considered the shrinking and timie
disposition of the average Chinaman
particularly since the war between
China and Japan. It does not sount
encouraging. In fact, it is decided!
indicative Of results that may be ap
palling before the present troubles il

Another highway robbery is reported

an organized gang of bold desperadoes
is working in that vicinity. Thus far
they have conducted their operations
with impunity, running no further risk
than q spirited defence by their victims,
which is seldom possible. No man can
resist an assault that begins with the
