A certain element in Manila is greatly
dissatisfied because the bill which
passed congress prevents the spoliation
or transfer of the timber lands which
belong to the public domain in the
islands until "A permanent government
has been established there. The excuse
is that it will retard building opera
tons but it is altogether likely that it
is nearer the truth to say that ii will
defer action until the value Of the lands
can be determined and thus prevent a
grab by those who are now setting up
the howl.

No; 'tis fast to dole

From old debate
And hate;
To C.rcumCise thy life.
To show n heart grief-rCnt;
To starve thy sin.

Those patriots in newspaper Offices who
are weighed down with the fear that the
Cubans will be deprived OF independence
should try TO see that they will have more
freedom than do the states OF the union,
which seems TO be enough to satisfy the
sane portion of 100000 human beings.
Nevertheless, It seems strange to hear
Americans bewailing the fate of people to
whom the United States has given all the
liberty and security they ever knew.
