OUR FOREIGN POSSESSIONS.

Our earnest effort lis to help these
people lthe Filipinos) upward along
the stony and difficult path that leads
TO self-government.
We must make it evident that
while we will do everything in our
power for the Filipino who is peaceful,
we will take the sternest measures
with the Filipino who follows the path
of the insurrecto and the ladrone. !
Nothing better can be done forathe
(Philippine) islands than to introduce
industrial enterprises.
More and more the civilized people
are realizing the wicked folly Of war
and r attaining that condition, Of,
just and intelligent regard for the!
rights Of others whichsw will in the emit, !!
as we hope and believe, make! world
wide peace possible:
The Monroe doctrine should be the
cardinal featuresof the foreign policy
of all the nations Of the two Americas.
as 1t is OF the United States. y |
Even il our flag were hauled down in
the Philippines or Porto Rico : ~ = :
we should need a thoroughly trained
navy of adequate size or else be pre-
pared definitely and for all time to,
abandon the idea that. our nation. is
among those whose SON go down to;
the sea in ships.
h CIVIL SERVICE. 'ls
The merit system Of making appoint;
ments is in its essence as democratic
and American as the common school
system itself.
The sole justification Of any type Of
government lies in its proving itself
both honest and efficient.
THE INDIAN. ~ /.
We should definitely make up our
minds to recognize the Indian as an.
individual and not as a member ola
tribe.

The officials Of the local land

question as to whether they will
receive enough cashto entitle them
to their full pay. During No
vember over $4,000 vas taken in
by the Office in this city. In adj
dition to this some $50 homestead
entries we're made; 1853 cash proofs
received as we'll as 60 final or five

tiated. The filling occurred near
Granville, both north and south
and there is not a great deal Of
land remaining to sbe 6led4on in
this district, although some choice;
entries have been overlooked ih3:the'

the fact that SO many: contests:

down in their New York home and
have made the acquaintance OF
Flossle Williams and her stock
broker husband. Flossie and Sell

ing In the third act, ten months
later, the Parsons family put in an
appearance. and Littleton is en-
gagged to supply the Parsons with
plans for a new home. Selma can
now see herself at the top round OF
the social ladder. The prosperous
Flossie. and the disappointed Sell
ma, here engage in sqnabble ov.
er social matters, and the Little

cd. In the last act Selma, having
driven her husband into another,

turns to her old home in Brnh am,
where we find her still rseeking
preferment. The company to pre-

entered the Railroad House and be.
gan to ask the patrons Of the bar

to go and was elected. Than he
sought revenge and sent stones
crashing through the big windows.
Pagan rushed from the hotel and
grabbed the man. Officer Tobln
