IsOer and Filipino.

A few men. who apparently thinl
only when they talk. have compared
the war In South Africa with the cam
paign in the Philippines, says the Chi
cagO Inter Ocean. They have endcay
ored 10 show that the United States
and Great Britain on the one side, ant
the Beers and the Filipinos on The
other, are fighting for Identical prin
ciplcs.
Nothing could be further from the
| truth. The two conflicts resemble
each other only in one trivial respect.
In each case superior force is en-.
ploycd against a weaker one. The am
alogy ends there.
The question Of sovereignty. at issue
IN the Iiocr war, was settled beyond
all cavil or doubt in the Philippines
before blow was struck The treaty
of Paris transferred the sovereignty OF
the Philippines TO the United States.
The transfer was complete beyond
question. The title TO the islands Is
vested in HE United States In accord
ance with every custom, practice, and
precedent Of public relations and pub.
lie law. Every civilized nation in the
world recognizes that the United
states is absolute sovereign in the
Philippines, and as such is solely re-
sponsiblc for the affairs OF the islands.
This condition was established at
Paris on December 10, 1893. two
month, before the insurgents fired on
American troops at Manila.
In South Africa two sovereign re-
publics, whose independence has been
recognized by the civilized nations of
the world, are resisting the claim of
Great Britain to sovereignty over the
Transvaal. The issue was fairly made
under the provisions and precedents
Of international law. The question of
sovereignty Is to be settled by two
armies, acting under the rules Of war,
ON the battle field. The Beers are not
rebels against England. They are an
independent people fighting to pre-
serve their independence.
In Il word, England is fighting to
upset existing legal conditions, and is
The aggrcSSor against established
rights, while the United States is
lighting to maintain existing legal
conditions and is the defender of es-
tablished rights.
Any man who has a mind and 1he
power to focus II must recognize on
sight these palpable facts.

(Biddeford Rsoord.)

(Biddeford Reoord.)
The engagement OF Saoo girl and q
young man residing in Biddeford termi-
mated recently, and 1t the sams time
tragedy was narrowly avertsd.
Their engagement was announced q
short time ago and the time for the
marriage was named. but within
few days the girl told her parents that
the young man had forced her to acnept
his offer OF marriage a: the point OF a
revolver.
The girls parents at once told her to
brake the engagement. which she did,
refusing to see the young man. Nothing
was attempted by the young man, until
within few days when he went over to
Saco and forced his way into the presence
of the girl In spits OF protests of other
mem bers Of the family.
As soon a. he reached the girl he pulled
q revolver from his hip pocket, and ct
the same time q bottle Of laudanum.
The girl's relatives were present an
before he was able to get the revolver lev
elsd they bad snatched IL and the bottle
Of laudanum away from him.
He said afterward that his intention
had been to shoot the girl and then take
the laudanum himself.
The frat thought of the girls parents
was to turn the man over to the police
but they finally decided to allow tbs
matter to drop In order to avert scandal.
