UpHOlDS TINE ADMINISTRATION.
Before Ne Visited the Philippines Bishop
Potter Could Not too Severely Con-
denim the Policy Pursued.

New York, March 19.-Bishop Pot
ter, who has just returned from n
five-month tour, which included visits
to the Philippines, japan and India,
talked today regarding his impress
slons. Referring to the Philippine
situation. Bishop Potter said he
went to the islands In an attitude
OF antagonism. He declined to say
II his opinions were altered, but said
he recognized the question as a pure
ly academic one.
Whatever we might have DONE"
he said, n year back, there Is but one
thing for us To do now, and that Is
TO hold on tn the islands and assume
responsibility for their future. The
military administration Of the
islands is beyond praise. General
Otis has not received half the recog-
milton to which he is entitled. His
position has been one of extreme del
icacy. New questions are arising
daily and he has handled them all
with discretion. One thing il evil
dent, and that is that the Filipinos
r in no condition for self-gOvern-
ment. II n civil government were
imposed, it would need "a large mill
tary force to maintain it.
Several friends of A~gulnaldo,'
continued the bishop, ''called on me
at Hong Kong and told methatthey
were satisfied that there could be no
success for his undertaking. The
better class OF Filipinos are satisfied
that American occupation means in
creased prosperity and arc not rails
ing any objections"
Bishop Potter told OF a visit he
made to u iactury at Manila where
about $50 Filipino boys and girls
were spinning cotton cloth. The
overseer told him that they learned
to work the looms in about six
weeks. whereas Irish and Scotch
children took as many months be-
fore they were of any service. The
natives seem TO take kindly to the
confinement OF factory life, but they
objected to the orders against smok-
ing in the factories.

The presidents career In the begin
ming Is a striking Illustration OF the

personal character as an element of

All our recent presidents, with one
exception, have been reputable

loyal To his home, faithful to his
friends. magnanimous to his adver-
saries, constant in his devotion to
duty. He hos paid his tithes of anise,
mint and cummin; he has not omit

A POLITICAL UNOMENON.
The Results of Three Years of Republican
Rule.

The most extraordinary phenom-
enon Of President McKinley's ad-
ministration IL the subsistence OF 30
cinl discomfort.
Something has scattered plenty
over n smiling land. Employment Is
abundant and wages rise. Agricul-
ture embarrasses the farmer with it's
riches and burdens, the fleets OF the
world with it's abundance. Com
merce thrives beyond precedent.
Manufactures multiply and replenish
the earth. From Cape Nome to
Puerto Rico, from Manila to Maine,
forges blaze, stacks smoke, wheels
revolve, spindles hum and electric
lights turn night into day. 1t il an
illuminated chapter from the r0-
nance of prosperity.
Even the per capita, that mysteri-
Gus and m~enacing spectre whose
shadow has 80 often darkened the
feast, has Increased from S22.II when
Mckinley was inaugurated to S25.42
at the close Of the third year of his
nd ministration-the most rapid
growth Of money in circulation In
our history. and rylargely in gold.
Whether this prodigious change 10
due wholly ar In part, or not at all
to the policy OF the administration,
is immaterial. 1t has happened. 1t
may be cause and effect, or 1t may be
coincidence; but the millions who
were ground between the upper and

that dismal interval inter the col
lapse Of 1893 know that it has taken
place. They are not inquisitire as
to how it came To pass. What they

As soon as the farmer has a bank
account he ceases tn be interested in
abstract questions of finance. The
capacity tn draw u check makes him
conservative. The artisan who owns

ton at living wages thinks less of
