A VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

A question which will come before the
annual village meeting next week is one
which Will deserve the most careful of
consideration. We refer to that of pur.
chasing stone crusher and roller for
the use of the street department. The
village already has done wonders in the
way of improving streets and sidewalks
and we believe that few if any of our
citizens would now care to 20 back to
former conditions. Perhaps nothing
that could be suggested would act to 50

In the Transvaal and Philippines.
TBostOn Herald

If we had treated the Filipinos as we
have treated the Cubans, there would
have been no war. If we had treated the
Cubans as we have treated the FilipinOs,
there would have been war in Cuba.
For an indefinite time in the future the
government must continue its control
over one possession as over the other,
and If President Mckinley had had the
wit or the wisdom to adopt in the Philip
pine Islands the same cOnciliatory policy
that has been adopted in Cuba the war
now going on in the former would not
have broken out. We were on quite as
good. If not better, terms with Agulnaldo
| than we were with General Gomez, but
the government seemed to think, in the
case of the Filpinos. that a show of
brute force was all that was required.
while the Cubans were to be treated
with delicacy and consideration. We are
now paving the expense of President
McKinley's blunder, who. in this matter,
is more responsible than is Mr.. Chamber
lain for the war in South Africa. The
war with the Beers is one to which a
more or less definite end can be assigned.
The supposition that it will descend into
a guerrilla warfare if England succeeds
In defeating the Boer armies is entirely
gratuitous, since neither the people nor
the country is suitable for such form of
warfare.
In the Philippines the case is, unfortu-
nately. different With an optimism
which has been quite as absurd as the
policy which led to the war, the adj
minlstration has repeatedly asserted that
the conflict is about at an end that there
is no popular support to the opposition
to American rule, and that the army Of
the Filipinos has been practically ex
terminated Yet we know that there is
hardly any part of the island of Luzon
outside of Manila where an unarmed
American is safe, and we are now told
that the provost marshal at Manila has
asked for two additional regiments of
American troops to defend the CONNER
cial interests of that city against an up
rising of its native inhabitants. 1t will
not be at all strange If the war in the
Philippine Islands goes on as wasting
guerrilla contest for several years after
the struggle In South Africa has come to
an end. and this, we say, because when
we had the opportunity to arrange
matters peacefully. President Mckinley
and his administration blindly threw
their chance away and plunged the
nation into desolating war.

"TO YOUR TENIS.Y

The Democrats of Virginia have
much of public duty in front IF them.
A president is to be elected, and that
: means that grave questions Of far.reach-
ing import are to be passed on.
Shall this country remain a Repub-
lie or become an Empire? Shall the
people groan beneath tax-burden or
find relief? Shall money rule or men?
Shall labor make the land richer or
menace its peace? Shall plutOcrats
dictate our laws or patriots? To vote
intelligently in the coming national
election all these questions must be
pondered and passed on. And when
this duty as voter has been done, the
State Convention will confront US with
its demands. 1t will be cowardly TO
dodge them. Let's meet them like
men. Can the State government be
run at less cost and as wisely and as
well? Can we get from under the
Underwood burden and breathe freer
and live better? Who are the men
who can best answer these questions
for US in convention assembled?
And after this comes the guberna-
tOrial contest. The "woods is full" of
good timber, but it should be carefully
selected or we may get sap-heads, or
knots.
The Congressman for this district
has already been named, and all we
have to do in this regard is to ratify the |
choice at the polls.
The discharge Of these public duties
should in no wise interfere with farm
ing, manufacturing, mining, selling
goods, lending money, practicing the
professions, or preaching the gospel,
and these private engagements should
in no wise interrupt the performances
Of the public. Know all your duty
and do it.
