Of plays there selected would have the
stamp Of respectabillty, and the ex-

That, at least Is the exposition.
Whether the effect would be all that is

strate. Is the stage pure in countries
where there are theaters endowed by
the government?
The fact Is that the drama, as every
thing else that engages human thought
and interest, presents a battle ground
for the good and the evil principles that
always are at war for the possession OF
the human soul. The conflict is con-
stantly being waged, and very often
the evil principle seems TO have the
victory An Independent theater might
not accomplish the complete overthrow
Of the immoral stage, because the taste
Of many Is deprayed, but such a thea
ter would nevertheless be a factor for
good-a much needed help In the battle
against evil The stage Is one Of the

LET THEM c. f.,

Now that Agulnaldo has signed the
agreement drawn mp by our representa-
tiyes IN the Philippines. there can be no
objection to permitting him To come to
this country on a visit II he so pleases
Other Filipino leaders should be invited
to come, too. We do not believe they
should be exhibited here as curoslties
either on the lecture platform or in
the side show Of a circus They should
be given an opportunity Of studying
American institutions and American
sentiment, for themselves. They should
be permitted to see something of our
manufacturing and commercial estab-
llshments. and to obtain an idea Of our
naval and military strength, but above
all. they should learn that the American
people are not slaves to tyrants and do
not propose to establish tyranny In any
place over which, by divine Providence,
the Flag may be made to float. All
these things can best be learnt In this
country. by personal observation and
experience.
The trouble between the Filipnos and
the Americans that freed them from
Spanish domination, was owing to la
mentable misunderstanding The Fill
Pine leaders little knew the vast power
Of the United States. They knew less
about the friendly intentions of our
government BY preclpltatng muir
derous conflict they made it morally I'M
possible for this country TO withdraw It's
troops. The United states could not
with honor leave the islands after its
soldiers had been attacked When the
war was commenced 1t had to be fought
out. But that attack would never have
been made, had the influential men OF
the natives not been utterly ignorant
Of our motives and Intentions, and at
the same time misled by their own
ambition for power. Now they are bet
ter informed as TO the strength Of this
country. They know they have no
chance TO gain their objects at the point
Of the bayonet
The Philippine commission has al
ready given the natives a splendid les
son in American ideas Of self-goyern-
ment, and Agulnaldo Is reported as hay-
ing expressed his admiration Of the lib
crafty and lmpartIality with which the
arrangements so far, have been made.

efforts Of the Americans the people win

said he fought them, and that IN a more
abundant measure and on a more Sc
cure foundation than he could conceive
Of. or have the power to establish,
BY all means let the Filipino leaders
be invited TO visit the United States and
learn more OF the goodwill here ex-
istlne toward their people. They should
not be "herozed" any more than they
actually deserve, but they should be
taken good care OF, while here, and be
sent back TO their own people with
correct Ideas OF the nation that has
made many sacrifices for them and
their descendants.

THE CZAR's PRIVATE LIFE.

The Car OF Russia is commonly sup
posed TO be the mightiest potentate on
earth. and this may be true, But it does
not follow that his daily life is one
Of continual pleasure, or even salts

slant object Of conspiracies against his
person, the monotony of mis- existence
would be enough to make him weary
Of the ilustrous crown that adorns his
brow

German paper describes the daily life
Of the Gear In all its simplicity, He Is
said to rise at half past eight o'clock in
the morning. At nine he Is at his desk
engaged with matters Of state sub
mitted to him by his ministers. From
ten to eleven he takes a Hight luncheon,
from eleven to one he signs documents,
studies bills, and the reports of minis
tiers and governors, drinking many
glasses Of tea as he works. From one to
four he Is with his family. Sometimes
an aide-de-camp Is summoned and
questioned about the contents Of the
newspapers, or some affair In the out
side world His majesty, the accom-,
says, is a very irregular reader Of news
papers. to say nothing Of books, which
he has not had in his hands for long
time. From four o'clock the car works
again, sometimes only til six, but often
tin seven o'clock, at which hour the
principal meal Of the day, viz: dinner,
is partaken Of The rest Of the evening

should the ex-empress be present, IS

After this, he retires TO his study and
punctually at midnight goes to bed.
Court banquets and festivities interfere
now and then with the routine Of his
daily life, but the minister Of the i'm
perial house, by his order tries as
much as possible to keep his working
hours uninterrupted.
There Is nothing very heroic in this
mode Of life The well-to-do peasant Of
Russia has more enjoyment Of his daily
toll than has his imperial master, and
he rests at night with more security.
There is one item In the description
quoted which explains some OF the
anomalies in the government Of Rus
sla The car, 1t seems, does not keep
himself posted upon current events.
Sometimes an attendant is questioned
as to the news Of the day, and 1t Is safe
to conclude that no news of a disagree
able character Is given to him. I'm
doubtedly he is kept ignorant Of many
things he ought to know about his own
people as well as foreign peoples. Were
he a really strong character such as
the ilustrious Car Peter, he would
take cognlzance Of all current events
and be guided by his own conclusions.

The charges made of widespread
frauds in the government service at
Manila have an ugly appearance.
Following upon those still fresh IN
mind that were developed In Cuba last
year, they tend seriously TO shake con-
fdence in the kind of men who have

There are too many men who look
