DECEIVING THE PEOPLE.
Truth Regarding the True State OF
Affairs in the Philippines
Now Coming Ont.

One cannot help wondering whether
we are to have a great popular reaction
in this country on the Philippine issue.
After long delay, the truth concern
ing the condition Of affairs in the Phil
ippine archipelago is gradually COM
ing to the knowledge of the American
people; and, to the surprise of a large
number, they find this truth to be wide
" at variance with the statements
made by those who nave been officially
responsible for our Philippine policy.
In view OF this now ascertained con-
6ition. what confidence. we ask again,
can the American people place in the
utteraDces Of those who have sought,
in an apparently willful manner, to
thus deceive them?
How far can human ~credu-ity go?
How much better are we than the be-
nighted people of Spain, who a few
years ago were kept lulled in a state OF
blind c~ontentment by the official re-
ports which the government at Madrid
had given out of the battles that had
been fought with the Cuban guerrillas.
and the immense victories that the
Spanish troops had won? At that time
those Americans VINO OH upon
the subject could not find words strong
enough to describe the Grass stupidity
of the Spanish people who could be
thus deceived and misled by their gov
eminent. But it may be pertinent to
ask, in what respect the condition OF
the American people has differed cur.
ing the last two years, in reference to
the subject we have referred to, from
the condition of the Spanish people
four or five years ago respecting the
Cuban instruction? An autocratic
government may feel that it is justified
in keeping its people in ignorance; but
in what way is it possible to have a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the peop-e carried on while
they are grossly deceived concerning
important public matters, it is beyond
our imagination to unGerstand.-Bos-
ton Herald (Ind.).

of her affection, that she had shown II
clearly. She laid her head in hel
mothers lap and had a good cry, girl
like. But Mrs. Roberts soothed and
quoted her by by saying there must be
some mistake.
"But you see there can't be, mamma;
you see it is in his own handwriting
and / know it so we'll"
Then going to her writing desk she
took out a slip of paper on which a re-
port was written, and signed Prof. ].
W. Spencer. The writing corresponded,
there was nc denying the fact. and the
two women were silent until a knock at
| the door startled them and Clarissa
darted into mother ROOM
"A box of flowers, DEAR" said her
mother; shall 1 open it?"
An exquisite bunch of violets nesting
among the green leaves, delighted the
beauty-loving eyes of the girl and the
delicate odor soothed her tired nerves.
She had not noticed the card. but there
it lay and she read: James ". Spencer

The innocent flowers smiled, but

was spoiled now
Replacing the cover, she wrote q hur-
ried note of thanks and CURLY asked
Mr.. Spencer to pardon her, but said she
could not accept them after his pre-
sumptuous conduct. Then calling TO
Tim, who happened to be passing, she
asked him to deliver the package for
her.
Tim ehuekled inwardly, but was very
polite and accommodating. and an hour
/ from the time the box was first sent, it
was back to the donor.
To say that Prof. Spencer was amazed

understanding somewhere, his mathe-

his toilet.
He was always particular about his
attire, which was faultiess on all Oc-
casions. and this evening spent more
time thar usual dressing. He had adj
mired Clarissa for many years, and aft
er her fathers death his respect grew
into something more substantial. but
he watched her career with no little
interest and when she went to teaching
as a means of livelihood he knew that
her character was not weak or fimsy.
While walking towards the Roberts
cottage his heart warmed toward Clar-
issa, and in spite of her rebuff he made
several resolutions.
As he neared the house he saw q
pretty little domestic picture, for
Clarissa with a colony of kittens in her
lap and their mother at her feet, was
enjoying it, unconscious of an audi
nee.
Mr.. Spencer felt guilty, but he could
not help gazing at the tableau before
knocking. Mrs. Roberts admitted him.

CONFLICTING STORIES.
CoRfusing Reports and Re-
garding the shipping and
Their Significance.

The conflicting stories we have been
getting from Washington for some
time as to the prospects of the pratt
cal Hanna-Payne bill must be per-
picking to newspaper readers who
take any interest in the subject
Not only do different correspond
ents tell different stories, but the
same correspondent tells different
stories al different tunes, and some
of them skip from side to side with
bewildering agility. One day b bill
is sure to be defeated for the session.
The next day it is sure to pass before
the adjournment because a compro-
mise has been reached which is salts
factory to the ants. The third day
the outcome is wrapped in impene-
trable clouds of doubt and uncer-
tainty.
But no one should jump to the con-
c1usion that the correspondents are
a sensational lot who are continually
inventing stories for the mere pur-
! nose of creating excitement. The
shiftings are a natural, not to say un-
avoidable, result of the lobby and
! other influences which are continu-
ally filing the air about the capital
with conflicting sounds, those of one
kind predominating n day and
in one locality and those of another
! kind the following day in the same
or a different locality.
The struggle is pretty severe, and
there are the alterations of appa-
rent usual in such cases
One day those interested on one side
relax, while those on the other re
double their exertions; the next day
T. the order is reversed. Tt is the bust
ness of the correspondent to record
the succeeding Impressions, and not
to write according to his notions o.
what the situation ought to be, OF hi:
prophetic views of what it eventual
" will be.
Those who are interested in the
enactment of such a thing as tht
shipping grab naturally are not over
scrupuIous in their regard for truth
and it is not in the power of an
correspondent to run to earth ever.
Questionable statement which may b'

RilI Making Advocates
Uneasy.

As the time for adjournment APP
proaches the prospects for the passage
of the ship subsidies bill are becoming
steadily darker, but the senators who
are opposing his measure should not
relax their efforts on that account. In
the complications which have arisen
in the present session it is difficult to
foresee the developments which may
arise from day to day to promote or re
ard a given bill. The advocates OF the
subsidies heretofore ave been found
to be working most effectively when
the prospects before them seemed dark
est. and unless Senator Frye has re-
canted he still stands ready to hold up
even the appropriation bills unless the
subsidy proposition is made law
1t is evident, however, that the meas
ure's enactment is doubtful. This
should stimulate its opponents to keep
up their efforts and look out for tricks
designed to bring the bill forward un-
~expected1y and give it a more favorable
position. It has been made manifest
during the session hat the sentiment
of the vast middle west and of a con-
siderable proportion of all other parts
of the country is unalterabiy opposed
to the subsidy plan. Among those who
are not actively opposed to it, another
very large proportion of the public is
either apathetic or not fully informed
as to the character and purpose Of the
measure. The active support Of the bill
| comes from the interests to be bene-
flied and from the handful of senator's
who have taken it Gnon themselves to
endow those interests with a rich an
nuity from out>the public treasury.
The senatorial contest over the meas
ure is thus fairly q contest OF public
sentiment against private interests,
and the fact tina the latter are sufi-
cientiy powerful to fight their battle
on anything like equal terms is in itself
unpleasantly suggestive Of the extent
to which private interests have gained
influence in the senate. Were the
measure wholly commendable in itself,
it is vet of no such vital importance as
to require consideration now, when
there is barely sufficient time to pass
the appropriation and tax-reduction
bills. The senator's opposing it should
exercise vigilance and energy in seeing
that it does not pass. Should a special
session be necessitated because of the
fight upon the subsidies, the blame vii
fall only upon the senator's who blocked
legislation in their desperate efforts te
have the bill made law.-Chicago Rec

WE HAVE IMPERIALISM NOW.

Senator Teller is right in saying
that imperialism is not a fear, but a
~realization: not a thing to be warded
off, but a thing to be abandoned.
In his recent speech in the senate
he administered a well-deserved re-
buke to those who pirate about par

of being allowed to do ss he pleased,
was rather humiliating. He said
nothing, however, and CIarissa con-

to behave unusually well.
Alas! "Stin waters often run deep"

Prof. Spencer, the superintendent OF

asked if he might call that evening

sa assented, and tipping his hat gra-
ciously and thanking her, he left her.

her mother a hug and said: NAM

She came to the last one that was
addressed in a masculine hand which
she could not mistake. ard a faint hue
