AguinaldO's Address to His
People.

Aguinaldo has taken another step.
Swearing allegiance to the United States
was bad enough but his American SYM
pathizers might attribute that to his
being compelled to act in that way and
that it was not binding. Now, however,
he has in the most formal and public
manner issued an address to his people
to stop fighting and accept American
sovereignty. The following is the
address:
81 believe | am not in error in pre-
Stunning that the unhappy fate to which
my adverse fortune has led me, is not a
surprise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with full meaning and
which have recently come to my knowl-
edge, suggests with irresistible force
that complete termination of hostilities
and lasting peace are not only desirable,
but absolutely essential to the welfare
of the Philippine islands.
The Filipinos have never been dismay-
ed at their weakness nor have they fall
tered in following the path pointed out
by their fortitude and courage. The
time has come, however, in which they
find their advance along this path to be
impeded by an irresistible force, which,
while it restraints them, yet enlightens
their minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause of
peace. This cause has been joyfully
embraced by the majority of my fellow
countrymen who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner of
the United States. In this banner they
repose their trust and believe that under
its protection the Filipino people will
attain all those promised liberties which
they are beginning to enjoy. The coun-
try has declared Enthusiastically in favor
of peace. So be it. There has been
enough blood, enough tears and enough
desolation. This wish cannot be ignored
by the men still in arms if they are ami
mated by desire to serve our noble
its will. So do respect this will, now
that it is known to me.
After mature elaboration, resolutely
proclaim to the world that | cannot
refuse to heed the voice of a people
longing for peace nor the lamentations
of thousands of families yearning to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty and
the promised generosity of the great
American nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago,
and without any reservation, whatsoever,
| believe that | am serving thee, my
beloved country. May happiness be
! thine

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: The an
nouncement that the Jewish inhabitants
of Hungary have increased 81 per cent
in the past ten years is something OF a
surprise. Hungary itself has grown in
a somewhat larger ratio than Austria,
but its aggregate increase has been only
slightly above 10 per cent, or but sixth
as great an expansion as that made by
the Jewish ingredient of Its inhabitants.
The Jews have been treated little bet
ter in Hungary than they have been in
many of the other continental European
countries. but their increase of 81 per
cent ia that locality in the past decade
is far bigger gain than anybody looked
for. There is a wonderful vitality in
that race

The rural free delivery, so important
to farmers, Is soon TO be greatly extend
ed, about 1000 new routes being planned
to 60 into operation during the coming
fiscal year. Farmers generally do not

these routes or the applications would
be In excess of the power &c grant, IL
stead of being behind il. as they are
now. Some communities actually seem
reluctant to have their mail. ETC., deiiv-
cred at their doors. Part of this reluc-
lance is no doubt due 10 the fact that
the fourth-class postmasters who might
be replaced by rural free delivery
want TO hold on 10 their places, and are
influencing their members OF Congress
against the installation of the service.
but most Of it must be due to ignorance
that it can be had 1t may be said that
any hundred families living along a road
not more than twenty miles long or in a
district with about twenty miles Of SER
vice, can have free delivery if they will
ask for il. The Central States east of
the Ohio river and the Eastern States
lead the others in the number of routes
established and the number applied for.
Illinois stands at the top with 343 routes
established, and has applications pend
ing for the establishment Of 62S more.
Indiana is second having $50 routes ia
operation, and it wants 81 additional.
Ohio has 3l2 routes and go applications.
New FORK has 229 routes and 260 appli-
cations. On the other hand. Kentucky
has but As routes and has so far asked
for only % more. West Virginia is also
low on the scale, with 81 established
