that it would be better to look in this di-

The Silver question is up in the Phil
ippines. Gen" Lucban wants to sur
render. He has robbed and plundered all
that he can, and now wants TO retire from
insurrectioning, and enjoy the fruits of his
energy and enterprise. But his spoiIs are
all in Mexican silver, and make a bulk
and weight very inconvenient to either
carry or hide. 1t gives him constant
trouble to bring near enough the Amer
leans to communicate, and yet rush off
with it if they should prefer to hunt him
down rather than negotiate. He dares
not leave it behind, lest his patriotic sub
ordinates should divide it up among them
and leave him poor man. If it were
only gold or paper it would be so much
more manageable.

Counties, we have not looked with favor
on them for the larger divisions New
York, Pennsylvania, the CarOlinas,
Georgia. and Louisiana were named when
they were colonies, and before the Nation
was born. Since then we have named but
one State or Territory after Il man

Ii the 210O Flilipinos who signed the
appeal to tue United States which has
just been received In the Senate and
printed in the Record are, as they claim
to be, representative men of Luzon, then
1t would seem to follow that the idea that
has been cherished here, that only a
small fraction of the ragalogs were bsnt
on independence, is a false one, for this
appeal declares that this Flipinos are
practically unit for independence, and
will accept nothing short of 1t. That
this is the case, there has been good
deal of circumstantial evidence before. 1t
could DO hardly possible that 10000 men
would have been needed In the Philip
pines If the great majority of the natives
were in sympathy with us, while only an
Insignificant minority were resisting
American rule. The proof is pretty con.
elusive that the commission that first
visited the island was deceived on this
point. Whether the Filipinos, who aspire
to independence, are capable OF self gov
eminent is another question. The men
who sign this appeal profess to think that
they are, but that is far from conclusive
proof.

Reports from Augusta indicate that the
dairy &C mmission scheme has very few
friends, and that some of It's most vigor-
Gus opponents are to be found among the
farmers and dairymen, for whose benefit
the scheme purported to have been de-
vised. There is great doubt If the scheme
will ever get any further than 1t has now
gone. Certainly 1t ought not to, unless.
perhaps, for the purpose of giving it a
formal burial. At tins when the people
are calling for economy, a scheme OF very
doubtful value at best, ought not to be
thrust forward, especially by the people
who are calling most loudly for retrench-
mant. The support 1t has received from
the oranges is, we imagine, more appar-
ent than real. That is to say, somebody
presented 1t with a plausible recommenda-
tion, and the oranges endorsed 1t without
much examination, because 1t was de-
scribed as a measure that would be of
great assistance to the farmers.

ment of the Filipinos that we promised
this Cubans ON the eve Of the Spanish wal
and which we are now seeking to carry

for he is a strong partisan, and dislikes
an much rs any man can, to differ with
his party on any question of public
policy. But his conscience led him In
another direction, and it is to his ever
lasting honor that he rollowed Its dictates
rather than those OF self interest. By re-

Republicans Of Massachusetts, have
declared that they will not condemn
man who believes and is loyal to the
principles OF the party, because he differs
from them IN some matters of policy. They
have proclaimed that loyalty to con-
science and convictions are not, in the
opinion OF the X epu blioans OF the Bay
State, things fer which man should be
punished, but rather things for which he
should be honored. They have said that
they do not ask from their public men

plaud Independence anu loyalty to ones
convictions OF what Is right and what is

breadth of view and the tolerance of

will live and flourish as long as the
people honor sincerity, honesty and indie
