AToR LODGE ON FOREI0N POLICY

Massachusetts Senator suppests the
AAninistrstion.
Washington. D. c., March S.-Sena-
tor Lodge delivered his speech in the
senate in support Of Senator Bever-
idgs's resolution On the government
pelicy in the Philippines. He strong
ly deprecated the attempt Of the spps-
sitiea to make the question one Of par
ty politics and made a vigorous plea
for the retention of the islands. The
success or the failure Of tho undsrtak-
inS, he contended, affected the Ameri-
can people as q whole.
Mr.. Lodge said in part: The ques-
tiens involved in the future manage
nent Of the Philippine islands and In
our policy in the far east are Of ma
ture to demand tho highest and most
sagicious statesmanship. have al
ways thought with Webster that party
politics should cease at the waters
edge. The Philippines should b an
American question, not the sport Of
parties or the subject Of party creeds.
The responsibility for them rests upon
the American people, not upon the
Democratic or Republican party. If
We fail in dealing with them we shall
all alike suffer from the failure, and If
we succeed the honor and the profit
will rebound In the end to the glory
and the benefit of ALL"
The senator criticised the policy OF
the opposition in making a political
issue Of the question, and pointed out
the impossibility Of adopting the plans
proposed to end the struggle In the
islands. He said:
Il hope and believe that we shall re-
tain the islands, and that, peace and
order once restored, We shall and
should re-establish civil government,
beginning with the towns and villages,
where the inhabitants are able to
manage their own affairs.
Taking the colonies as q whole, a
very large minority, If not half, OF
people whom the continental congress
proposed to govern were utterly op-
posed to the revolution. Did We ask
their consent? Not at all. We crowd

In Explosion.
FIRE CREEK, w. Va, March s.-The
rescuing parties continued working
hard at Red Ash mine yesterday in
removing debris and searching for the
bodies of the victims of yesterdays ex-
plosion. The scenes of distress among
those hunting their missing friends
are as appalling as yesterday. 1t is
still impossible to give the exact num-
Der of victims or to identify all the
bodies that have been recovered. Con-
sentative estimates by the mine officials
place the number of killed at tifty-two,
while others believe the number of vic
TINS will reach sixty. A report from
the rescuers tonight was that thirty
four victims had been removed from
the mine, twenty-nine being dead and
five seriously injured. The surviving
miners and others estimate that there
are at least thirty-nine miners still

Paris, March o.-Your correspondent
learns that sxtrsne tension exists in
the AnElo-Frsnch relations, and that
Frsnch efncial circles are considering
the probability Of war.
An important ohlcial, whs possesses
the cenhdsnce of the ninistzy. told
your correspondent tslay that It
would b useless to lsnger deny the
fact that Great BritaiA aims At At

been evident fsr sens tine that the
English press was sbsyiAg Instructions

ofenss given BY the French press.
while ignoring graver insults from tAs
press Of other countries.
Moreover. all Of Great Dritaia's late
preparations are known to be solely
directed against France. Every step
that England has taken has met with
= corresponding precautionary stop BY
France. It was not weakness that
made The JrsncA yield in the Fashoda
dispute. but moderation, though A.
parsntly ill moderation was blasted In
Dasland's present temper. France 10

and ready to resist British Aggression.
The correspondent remarked that
these were somewhat startling state
msnts. and sided that he did net wish
to cable anything that was likely to
produce bad blosd.
The diplsAatist, in reply, said: Il
have put the ease none too strong. Re-
member, w do net wish for war, but
England's disposition is too evident to
be nisunderstsod. Consequently, We
have made al the necessary precau-
lions to avoid being taken at disad-
vantage. Stores and ammunition have
been accumulated In the colonies in

Though isolated, to maintain a long
campaign.
There are 3o.eeo white troops In
To1quin, and 5000 in Algeria under
Gen. Gallien. who will be able to deal
with any expedition England may
send against them. In Madagascar
there are nearly 10000 troops, and
more will be sent there shortly. These

The correspondent again said that hs

lest it prove mischievous, whereupon
the oAcial answered:
I'VE don't mind tho publication Of
the fact that We realize England's
public opinion; We have taken every
precaution, and are now quito pre-
pared to meet her hostility. The pub

assurances were given 1t the meeting
Of the steering committee that Senator
Frye, the president pro tenpsre Of tho
senate, had changed his mind regard
Ing the status Of that question, and
was new disposed to decide that 1t
could not displsce the unfinished bust
ness, the Puerto Rican bill, and there
fore could be discussed only during the
morning uour. These assurances have
inspired the anti-Quay men with new
confidence that they can succeed in
postponing Indefinitely vote upon
the question Of Quay's title to seat.
At the white house conference the
Puerto Rican question and the reel
procity treaties were fully and freely
discussed. The president frankly told
the senators that he was satisfied from
fuller information and more mature
reflection that tho recommendations Of
his annual message for free trade with
Puerto Rico were Ill advised, and that
he 10 now earnestly in favor Of the
enactment Of the house bill providing

country will soon come to see the mat
ter in the same light a. he does. the
president said, and they would ~
frankly admit that 4 duty is better for
the Puerto Ricals than free trade.

These prices are stated to have
been obtained during the past month
and their accuracy is vouched for,
special care having been taken to
select corresponding grades and
dates in each case There is un-
doubtedly profit in the foreign sales
made by our manufacturers. They
are eXacting higher prices at home,
because they have stifled al compe-
tition by the organization Of trusts
and they have the benefit of the tar
if to protect them against possible
foreign competition. Under these
conditions it is small wonder that
the trusts are doing ii prosperous
business.

TALKS ON SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
The Annual School Meeting.

ALE. KuYkENDALL, SENIOR CLASS.
(pattevllle Normal SCHOOL,
The simplicity of democracy is ex-
emplified in the annual school meet
ing, and duty to the school demands
the presence of every elector at that
meeting. A great responsibility rests
upon the meeting a responsibility af-
fecting not only the school, but also
through it, the future of the commun-
ity. Many Of the most important
things connected with the school are
the subjects of consideration at that
meeting, and should receive careful
and earnest attention. These are a }
choosing officers, { b hiring teacher
Though generally left to the school
board, } (c) changing the textbooks,
d purchasing apparatus, Ce looking
after the condition of the school
house and grounds, and ~ voting
taxes.
A few words concerning each of
these topics may not be amiss. Per-
haps one great factor, retardIng the
progress OF our schools is, and has
been, the election to Office Of men who
are either Jealous of the advantages
accorded the youth of today, or indif-
ferent to the welfare of posterity.
Neither attitude is proper, and what
ever may have been the past lot of
any one, it behooves all TO show
deep interest and patriotism by elect
ing TO school offices the most highly
cultured men or women OF the district
those who will raise the school to
the highest plane of intellectual use
fulness. Not only is this a PRIVILEGE
and a duty, but also noble Sc nee
to your school and country.
Though hiring teacher is gener-
ally left with the school board, it is
the custom in few districts to vote
for a male or female teacher for the
year. In many cases the teacher
hired is a young girl, immature, half
trained, inefficient. and lacking in
professional ideas and ambition. She
has undertaken one of the most deli
cate, eXacting, and responsible of all
callings, but has little experience in
life and little knowledge of the world
or of human nature and its vital
needs. Would you entrust the pre-
paration of a valuable diamond to an
incompetent workman? With one ac
cord you answer " MOI" For equally
good, or better reasons, parents, you
ought TO demand the best teachers OBJ
tainable. Such teachers will not only
do the routine duties we'll, but they
will also raise the school TO a high
standard in government and disci-
pline, and inspire the pupils with lof-
ty and noble ideas.
Another matter that often comes be-
fore the meeting is the question Of
furnishing free text books or of
changing those in use. This is mat
ter requiring the best judgment and
care for the best books are frequent
ly none too good. IL you'd be we'll to
consult your county superintendent
regarding the best books, and adopt
his judgment rather than your own.
He should know the character Of
books in question, and their value
and fitness for school purposes.
Furthermore he has no pecuniary in
terests in the matter.

chronic accusation tba: it is merely

had plenty of money aud he wasn't
at all stingy ia its use; but the doors
of tho Senate were closed against
him. II was the same with Mr..
Quay, though he made trickery in II
