The address OF Ex-Governor MacCoF.
kle. OF this state, at the annual dinner
Of the board Of trade, OF Newark. New
Jersey, and published in another coll
urun Of this issue, is commended to the
serious attention OF those Democrats
who are iusanely and uureasonably cp-
posed to the policy OF the adminIStra-
ton with reference to the Philippines.
Governor MacCorkle speaks without
subterfuge or reservation. He comes
out plainly and forcIbly for the reten-
ton OF the archipelago His premise Is
that we, as Nation. cannot longer live
within ourselves. and such Is the Situa-
tIon that. Il the American people pro-
pose to keep up with other countries in
enlarged trade advantages they must
grasp the opportunity that is now pre-
scented OF occurring the markets Of the
far east. That Of China, he maintains,
is the most important. and Is within
our grasp II we but follow out the lines
laid down by President Mckinley. He
says; Already we have built up 4 great
trade In cottons, machinery, leather
goods, electrical goods. chemicals, rail-
road equipment. tools, hardware and
the general products Of our workshops,
At the present rate OF progress our
trade with China VIII. in ffteen years,
be the most important Of any trade in
the world. We demand a vigorous
policy which will be permanent in It's
effects, under which the rights Of this
country will be preserved. and under
which the markets Of China shall not
be turned over to European nations as
their own exclusive property. but shall
be held alike on terms OF absolute
equality for the citizens OF the United
States"
This he's been accomplished in a
measure By the mastsrful diplomacy OF
secretary OF state Hay in securing an
agreement Of the Powers insurinS to
this country equal trade privileges with
China, or in other words the much
mooted question OF the open door"
But would these privileges rise to any
special Importance without lae adyan-

Some Comparisons.

The British forces are said to have
crossed the Tugela river and are driv-
ing the Beers before them. and London
at last believes the tide has turned in
favor OF English arms. They have
been a long time attaining so much of
an advantage. and we do not believe
that any American military experts
have criticized the British plumbers so
far as did our self-optnIonated English
cousins when we went to war with
Spain with a standing army Of only
Is 900 men. In spite Of those criticisms
we did pretty well in ending the con-
aIct in Cuba. We show our generosity
in not drawing InvidIous comparisons,
but we cannot refrain from quoting the
following from the Washington Post
which shows what the United States
government really did do, hampered as
it was. That paper says:
II viii be remembered, no doubt, that N
April, 1898, the United states had an army
al exactly 1900 men. It will be admitted

The Part They Play in Determining q
Mans Age.


washington star: ''Thank you" said
Senator Beveridge, Of Indiana, TO an att
tache Of the white house, who offered to
assist him in putting on his overcoat.
"a young man never refuses to accept
help In getting his overcoat on, but
the older a man gets the more certain he
is to refuse help and say: NO thank
you. l can get it on all right 1t Is
oertain Indication of old age when a
man will not permit another to aid in
getting ON his oyercoat"
Senator Elklns heard the remark Of
the young senator from Indiana, and
said: well If what you say is true.
Senator Hawley is one OF the youngest
men in the senate. He always accepts
assistance In putting on his overcoat.
But one day he said to me: 'Elklns,
when you hear me say that can get
my Overcoat on without any one helping
me you may be sure that 1 am getting
old"
Next Jerry Smith soliloqulZed to him
self. Jerry has been at every dinner
and public and private reception at the
white house for years, ana his priuci-
pal business during that time was TO
artisticaIly aid in putting on overcoats
and incidentally TO receive, in a CheS-
terfieldian manner, whatever tips were
given him. II tes' tells yer" said Jer-
~ to himself, "dere's lots OF troof in

tages that would accrue through the
retention Of the Philippines? Il APP
pearD not. On this polnt Governor
MacCoriIle says there = but one way to
secure the material benefits Of the
great Chinese and eastern markets, and
that is through the Philippine Islands.
Here" asserts the governor. ''iB the
real strategical and commercial posi-
ton Of the east. without our position
in the Philippines our commercial
treaties with China would be vlIueless.
and upon our withdrawal from these
Islands the chinese empire would not
last a month. and rs rich markets
would be forever lost TO the people Of
this country. To leave the islands is
to turn them over TO anarchy or the
German imperial government"
The ex-governor shows what advan-
tases the south a. well as the north
will resp from maintaining control Of
the Philippine archipelago, and pleads
for a navy sufaciently powerful to en-
title the United States to respect in
every sea and CLINE.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

An old maid is woman who thinks
every old bachelor she meets thinks
she thinks he wants to marry her.
As soon as a woman gets baby to
carry around she quits being so care
full to hold up her skirts so the men
win notice.
What's the use In any man getting
married, when you can buy canary
bird and good guinea pig for three
dollars and seventy-five cents?
The thought which \ girl, when she
is nineteen. puts on the conversion Of
the heather after she gets married Is
generally used in saving up empty
pasteboard boxes,
The average woman would gladly
make over all her old dresses and get
along without hired girl all her life
II the other women would only say that
her husband fairly worshlpped her

peath Of Hon. ]. ]. wOods.

The death of the Hon. Joseph j.
Woods recalls many agreeable qualities
Of that gentleman. Leaning over the
bier OF a departed citizen who was as
prominent in the politics Of the state
at one time as Mr.. Woods was, 1t Is not
a happy time to recall any differences
of opinion that may have existed be-
tween the deceased. as representing the
Democratic party, and those leaders Of
the Republican party who opposed him.
There is a tribute to be paid to Mr..
woods which is higher than any en-
comium resultant from his political
career, and the InteIllgencer takes q
mournful pleasure in testityIng to It.
Posthumous acknowledgement are
inspired by various motives. but we
think We voice the sincere sent-
ments of the associates Of
Mr.. Woods in the legal profession
when we say that no life has been
snufled OUT at such an age that con-
talned less Of enmIty to his fellow men
than that OF Mr.. Woods. He was a
young man whose qualifications for his
chosen profession were of the most
thorough character. and his abilities
we're of q high order. His personality
was OF the most PLEASING and attractive
kind. and his disposition was always
inclined to the sunny side OF every
problem OF life. In politics he was a
generous foe; in the social amenities Of
this life ne was companIonable gem
tIeman and true friend.
