IN THE PHILIPPINES.

MANILA, Feb. 21.-At conference
held Wednesday between the United
States Philippine commission, l.. W.
Lawshe, the new auditor for the Phil
ippine islands, it was decided to estab-
lish an office and perfect plans for the
increased efficiency in the auditors de-
partment.
Capt Steer, of the Thirty-sixth
United States Volunteer Infantry, has
been appointed collector of license for
the city of Manila to succeed Lieut..
Bishop. The collections from licenses
in Manila alone amounts to $500, 900 in
gold each year. The members OF the

Work i'm Congress.

The business of Congress, a week be-
fore it's expiration by statute of limits-
tons, is in much the condition of leg

sembly, week before the ending of
the session through that unwritten
statute of limitations, the proclamation
OF the day of thanksgiving.
Advices all indicate that the body at
Washington will have hard work to
complete its legitimate business by the
midnight of the third of March. The
time consumed on the ship subsidy bill
has delayed other business and recalled
fact of the experience of previous
Congresses as to the Senate, that so
long as the opposition can find speakers
to occupy the time no vote can be had
upon contested measure.
The oleomargarine bill seems to be
up against the same obstacle. The
cotton-seed interests and the cattle in
terests of the Northwes, have united to
oppose the measures land started off with
a great flourish of trumpets. If only
vote could be had, there is probably
majority in favor of the bill. With
this, as with many another proper
measure, it is rather question of get
ting a vote than OF reason or argument.
The of.-discussed need of some form of
closure for Senate debate is again en-
phasized. But this is as difficult to

Honor to Whom Honor.

The editor of the St. Adams Mes
senger "has enjoyed opportunities
within the past two years inter
course with naval officers, some of
whom were at Santiago aud some of
whom were in positions to be familiar
with the circumstances" and he "has
found that, without exception, these
officers give the credit of the victory TO
Sampson" The victory of Santiago de
Cuba, by common assent, is ascribed
to the captains of the blockading fleet.
And this seems just Admiral Samp-
son was in chief command, but he was
not in the battle and arrived on the
scene after the last of the Spanish
cruisers had been sent to the beach by
the guns of the Oregon.
Simpsons "credit of the victory"
and his relation to the battle are not
unlike Grants title to credit for Sheri-
dams victory at Cedar Creek, or for
Sherman's campaign to Atlanta, cap
ture of the city and march thence to
the sea, or for Thomas decisive victory
at Nashville. Grant was commander
in-chief of all the armies of the Union,
and Sheridan, Sherman and Thomas
were acting under his command and
obeying his general instructions, yet no
one ascribes to the Great Commander
the distinctive credit for those great
and brilliant achievements, and least of
all did Grant himself claim the honor
of the victories of his associates in the
"Big Three" of the war of the rebellion.
Farragut's fame was not borne from
any battle scene in which he was not
an active and directing participant.

Ten miles of safety did not intervene

The plan of operations at Santiago
was the suggestion Of intuition. A
dog by instinct posts himself at the
foot Of the tree in which he has freed
a squirrel. Inevitably the bloCkading
squadron was ranged around the en-
trance to the harbor of Santiago. The
youngest subaltern in the service in
stinctively would have adopted this
formation. If the squirrel came down
the tree to the ground the dog would
attack or pursue the game, and he
would need no special orders from his
master to direct his movements. If
the Spanish ships emerged from their
shelter, battleships, cruisers and tor
pedo boats as instinctively would at.
tack and pursue. What happened in.
evitably would happen, unless the Off
GERS of the blockading line were lacking

Democracy and the Mugwumps are
chuckling over the al eyed fact that
the recruiting officers of the army are
having great difficulty iu finding re-
cruits to ill it up to the maximum Of
100 600 men, because, they say, men
will not go to the Philippines. The
officers are having no difficulty at all.
1t is true that recruits are not enlisted
so rapidly as formerly, for the very
good reason that the standard of qual-
iflcation has been raised to a very high
point. A man, to become soldier in
the United States army, must not OILY
possess perfect physical health but
must be good man mentally and NOR
ally. The day has gone by when the
"Weary Willy" or the hobo can don the
uniform. AS matter of fact, only
about one in ten of the applicants il
enlisted.

A few days ago news came by way OF
Paris and Chicago of the capture of
DeWet. The Boer weasel seems, how
ever, to be still very much at large in
South Africa. 1t is noteworthy cir
cumstance that, after guarding some
1000 miles of railway, furnishing gar
risons for Pretoria, Johannesburg, and
other strategic points in the Transvaal,
the Free State and Cape Colony, and
supplying the various other demands
for military forces in the country they
are occupying, the British army of
some 200, 000-more or less-for active
operations in the field dwindles TO
about 10000, BY death, wounding,
sickness and expiration OF terms of SER
vice, the British army's efficiency has
been greatly reduced and the need of
speedy reinforcements is said to be
imperative. In killed and wounded
and other disabilities the British losses
since the war began are said to be
double the entire available military
force of the Beers before the begin
ming of hostilities. The carcasses Of
over 100000 mules and horses strew the
region of army operations. The de.

Connecticut is wrestling vigorously
with the question of constitutional re-
form in the matter of representation.
In the Nutmeg as in the Green Noun
tain State, many of whose first settlers
came from the former, unrepublican
dirt rather than republican population
is the basis of representation in the
lower branch of the Legislature. Gov.
Mclean has taken the matter of re-
forming the constitution actively in
hand. The cities of Hartford, popula-
ton 1880, New Haven los, OPT, Bridge
port 70,996, Waterbury $3.50, and 80
on, down through the list of cities hav-
ing large populations, have no greater
representation in the House of Repre-
sentatives than do the smallest. ruIa
towns. The Connecticut case is some
what more aggravated than the case
presented by Vermont, but the prin-
ciple-or rather absence of principle
is the same. The feeling in favor of
change that shall supplant minority
rule with the cardinal republican prin-
ciple of the rule of the majority, is
strong in Connecticut and growing
stronger. The Hartford Courant is
warning the minority that it must yield
or there will be an Overwhelming fl BOD.
The most that it is hoped to accom-
plish is to secure legislative sanction of
measure to submit to the people a
proposition to call convention for
framing new constitution. This isn't
much, but it would be better than
nothing.

SUCCESS In Mining.

1t needs to be said, again and again,
remarks an exchange, that mining is
an industry demanding, as the price
of success, all the requisites of other
undertakings. These are experience,
judgment, prudence, foresight and
economical methods. When they are
brought to bear, mining ceases to be
an adventure and becomes business.
Indeed, when these qualities are
brought into requisition, mining to-
day offers better opportunities than
other lines of enterprise.
Perhaps in no other industry does
sound Judgment count for more. It is
important that one start in the right
place, develop in the right way, and
operate with close economy. In q
country abounding in mineral, the
mistake should never be made of ex-
pending large sums of money without
good surface indications.
Having q promising prospect, some
thing more than luck is required to
convert it into paying mine. A
single false step may bring disaster
where the skilled miner would have
found success. And often so narrow
is the margin between profit and loss,
that one may possess the elements OF q
good property, and yet suffer losses
through unskilled mining or loose
man agement, where correct methods
would bring profits.
This principle of success and failure
extends to every industry and line of
business. Two men start in business
in the same field, with the same capital
and the same opportunities. One
achieves the fullest measure of sue
cess; the other goes into bankruptcy.
Two farmers work across the road
from each other, having the same soil,
the same number Of acres, the same
obligations and the same market. One
becomes prosperous and the other is
sold out by the sheriff. And in like
degree one man fails in mining where
another succeeds.
These are facts not to be forgotten
in mining, and they may be supple
mented with other general observ ations
No man should exhaust his regular
business to engage in something with
which he is not conversant. Nor
should he put money into mines which
ought to be devoted to the payment Of
his debts.
