-PHIIIPPINE POLICY

day worse than it was when Mr.
Mckinley wrote his message TO
Congress, and that it is more likely
to STOW worse than better in the
near future; that in any event a
large number of troops. quite as
many, Is not more than there
are now, must be kept in the is
lands for an indefinite period.
Senator Hoar resumed his old DO.
sitlon OF antagonism to the McKin-
ley Philippine policy. and urged
that the Filipino leaders be given
hearing at Washington, and that
the policy of determination be
abandoned. Senator Gallery de-
nounced the Army bill, because its
real purpose-the determination of
the Filipinos was masked. and de.
clared that although this sort of
thing might be called benevolent
assimilation" it was no less tyr
amy and simply superimposed
yoke of Imperialism. Senator Tel
Ter began his speech by predicting
that 200, 900, instead of the 1907
600 men provided by the bill.
would be needed to carry out the
present policy, and that for a cen
tury to come the islands would
have 10 be heavily garrisoned. He
referred to his having, two years
ago, in a speech, laughed at the
idea OF anything imperialistic being
seen under the American flag. and
added impressively: 81 now re-
tract that assertion" He charac-
terlzed the actions of the present
Philippine commission as gross
imperialism unequaled anywhere
on the face OF the earth, and said:
"Uhder the law they have a right
to be there, but under Gods law.
which is higher, they have no place
there at all. Their actions are the
worst form of imperialism" In
reply to a question from Senator
Gallery, Mr.. Teller said. Gas Mr..
Lincoln announced in regard to
the Mexican war, war that he did
not believe in, he would vote for
such a force as the government
needed, SO have no doubt that as
long as our flag floats from the
Philippine Archipelago, will Gre
luctant as l may be) vote to main
the army and the flag there. If
that is illogical, 1t is illogical be-
cause there is no better way out of
IT." In closing MIR. Teller fired
tins broadside at Mr.. Mckinley.
"The President has assured us
that there is no danger of Imperi-
alism, but if imperialism can be
made worse than it is now in the
Philippines, you'll have to increase
the ability of the human mind for
absolutism."

DR.. d. X. Pearsons of CHICAGO
has evolved a plan for the solution
OF the servant-girl problem, which
consists of establishing special
department at Berea College 70
teach mountain maidens from Ken
lucky the domestic arts and train
them IN the ways of up-to-date
household management. Dr. Pear
sons intentions are no doubt sin
cere and thoroughly philanthropic,
but there IS grave reason to believe
that In suggesting the mountain
maidens of Kentucky as subjects
Tor the training process he is in
volving the problem in even graver
difficulties than now surround il.
AT present the docile housewife
has become accustomed to the
cook who hurls stove lids and the
maid who borrows her silk skirt to
wear to the Arion ball, but in the
freedom and nonchalance of do
mestlc service the Kentucky noun
tam maiden, with her ready aim
and nervy handling of the rifle and
revolver, would have her employer
at an almost fatal disadvantage
The man who ventures into the
kitchen nowadays to dischage his
cook does so with one eye on the
rolllngpin and one on the person
OF the naughty being who presides
over the destiny of the culinary
department. He can sometimes
succeed in lodging the rolling-pin,
and even if hit is only laid I'D for a
few days; but with a Kentucky
mountain maiden and her trustv
revolver to contend with the mat.
ter would assume far too serious
proportions. Furthermore, his at
tempt to inform her of her dis
missal would undoubtedly be con-
strued as an insult that would
involve him IN a feud with the
male members of her family. and
he would thus be storing up end
less difficulties for himself and his
progeny. Before the Kentucky
mountain maidens are brought in
to the harness of domestic service
the householding public will do
we'll to make a respectful pause.

Many of the white people n

Many OF the white people of both
Parties wished very sincerely du-
ring the holidays just passed, that
West Virginia had a Jim Crow car
law. Some of the better class of
colored people wished so, too. All
the same West Virginia will prob
ably not have such law, for many
years at least. Many men there
be who will suffer all sorts of in
dignlties and impositlons from de-
bauched and drunken negro men,
and brazen.a and foul negro women,
and see their wives and daughters
utter the same thing, rather than
kndanger the success OF their po-
Etical aspirations.

Ii the chamber of the House of
Representatives. were remodeled in
the direction of economy OF
space as urged by the successive
committees for years past, there
would be no need of cutting down
the representation of any state on
account of lack of room. But
then the Representatives would
have to give up their individual
desks, and that of course is too
much 10 ask.

Homo POliteness.

1t is significant to observe how some
nen fail TO know the way TO treat their
wives and sisters when they meet
hem. 1t seems to be too much trouble
y lift their hats or TO give their near
EST the courtesy they would freely
render any woman outside of the do
nestle circle. This should not be. and
tbe sooner a revolution is accomplish
ed the better. The ablest and most
persuasive treatise on the etiquette Of
the home will not be able by itself to
work the change, although it would
be helpful toward that end. What is
needed is the right training Of boys
and girls. Courteous behavior should
bu enforced by parents in the same
way as other good qualities are taught.
One of the most successful instructors
OF the young in our days bears this
testimony: People complain of the
way children behave, and lay the
blame of their behavior on the day
school; and if they would only make
the children do at home as they are re-
quired to do in school matters would
be different. They laugh at the child
who lifts his hat, or says Please or
Thank you forgetting that others are
trying 70 make up fer their neglect Of
duty"

pear here shortly, is a Knight Templar

After an unsuccessful search of the
room for few minutes, he asked the

The Shad Season.

While the Delaware river is now
filled with ice, the army of shad
fishermen along the shore, from
Pennsville to Paulsboro, N. ] ), and
from Nav Castle to Lewes on the
Delaware side, are actively engaged /
with their indoor preparation for
the opening of the season, about /
the middle of next month and from
reports received from the several
towns along the shore the probable
tiles are that more men will be en-
gagged in catching the toOthsome
| Delaware shad this spring than for
several years. This is in great
measure accounted for from the
fact that the sturgeon fishing in
dustry down the bay has been fall
ing off for several years, and, in
the words of an old-time fishermen,
was almost a dead letter last
year. A number of the sturgeon
fishermen have already announced
their intention of rigging out for
!, shad this spring. Penn's Grove
r from its central location, is the New
/, Jersey headquarters for the shad and
e sturgeon fishing industry on the
+ Delaware River and Bay. Between
" 100 and 200 gill nets are fitted ouf
Y each spring, at great outlay o
e money, and last year about quar-
k ter of million shad were caugh
k off the shore and either sold on thu
ID wharf to two firms, who make
lis home market, or shipped to Phila
delphia on the shad carrying line
Last year, despite the tremendou
catch of shad, the fishermen mad
but little profit, owing to the pre-
ri vailing low market prices, and tn
on problem of better prices is on
E. which the fishermen are hopin
will find solution in the adoptio
of some new methods of putin
