DETAILS OF LITTLE MOMENT.


The statements which are now current
regarding the form of civil government
which is about to be inaugurated in the
Philippines are plainly designed to feel
the public pulse The people have really
no interest in the details of the plans
under consideration save with reference
to the availability of any plan decided
upon as a preliminary to the establish
ment of a system of local self-govern-
ment which will give the natives of the
province an opportunity to attest their
fitness for the obligations of representa-
tive government.
The American people will not submit
to maintaining crown colony 1t is
against the genius of American instftu-
tons. If people are so far below the
scale of intelligence and individual and
collective responsibility that they can
not be intrusted ultimately with their
own political destinies they are too far
down to be admitted into political fra
ternity or even association with this peo-
p1e. w Z nave no mission TO mt the ma
lions of the earth for free government
by actual control of their concerns. The
most we can expect to do in that behalf
IS to invite them to judge of and bene-
fit. by our experience.
The Taft commission may do its work
as seems best to it. The present need
is to put an end to military rule. The
opportunity to do this Is at hand. An
that is needed is the disposition The
capture of Aguinaldo is the end OF the
insurrectton, unless Oar rulers will it
differently. OF course it is expected that
the natives OF Luzon at least will DE
given the fullest opportunity to demon
strate their fitness for the free control
of their local concerns. They should at
least be offered the opportunity through
the exercise Of the three functions of the
judiciary, legislation and administration
to show that they are not wholly un-
fitted for a future of free government.

WHY RUSSIA DON'T.

Russia is not anxious to go to war
and she has good reasons for feeling
that way about it. She has a greater
extent of frontier subject to foreign
attack, than any other country and
nearly half of her heterogeneous popula-
ton is animated by the most intense
revoluntiary sentiment. In the north
western part of Russia is FINLAND, de-
plived of its ancient rights and liberties
and grooming under the oppression of
the latest DEGREES of the car. An oppor-
tunity to throw off the hated Russian
yoke, would be received as a blessing.
And nearby is Sweden which cultivates
profound sympathy for FINLAND in her
misfortune. as FINLAND was at one time
very much in dread of meeting the same
Tate as FINLAND. The people of the
Russian Baltic provinces are Let's,
Lithuanians and Germans; their
religion is Protestant like that
of FINLAND, and they have
very little love for Russia. In the west
ern part of Russia, on the German and
Austrian frontier, is Catholic Poland,
which has suffered untold misery under
Russian oppression and would rise in re-
volt at the first opportunity Russias
western frontier r.ouId have to be de-
Tended against Germany, Austria and
Roumania, which latter IS getting to be
one of the strongest secondary powers of
Europe and is intensely anti Russian.
In the south, Russia would be subject
to attack from Turkey and Persia, while
In the east she would have China ard
Japan to deal with. In fact about half
of Russia's population is composed of
conquered and subject races that are in
most cases filled with intense hatred
against their oppressOr. Out of the
135 GO0,OOO this leaves only some sixty
five or seventy millions who are really
Russian in language and sentiment, and
these are for the most part shiftiess,
ignorant, illiterate paupers, STEPPED in
misery and superstition, and scourged
by famines Russia is said to have $780,
900 soldiers in Manchuria, but she would
not be able to increase that number very
rapidly, if at all. Japan could soon land
the same number of soldiers in China,
and with the help of the Chinese troops
which could be made fairly effective
under Japanese leadership, she could
make it quite interesting for Russia
In fact, it is quite likely
that Japan and China, without any aid
from the otner powers, could put up a
very effective fight against any attempt
of Russia to seize Chinese territory. In
view of these facts, it is plain why Rus
sia is not rushing into war. Her game
is bluff and she is working that for all
it is worth; and if any power has the
nerve to cali that bluff. the Bear will
at once become a gentle lamb and the
cars coat-of-arms will blossom forth
with doves of peace and olive branches
enough to make all Russia look like a
brush heap.

Consul Baehr, of Magdeburg, describes
a cheap process of manufacturing build
ing stone that is coming very much into
vogue in Germany. Sand is mixed with
lime, pressed into blocks and heated by
steam under pressure. The steam causes
the sand to combine with the lime, form
ing permanent stone of great dura-
bility. Hydraulic or quick lime" says
the consul. "as well as fat Or rich lime,
may be used; hydraulic lime is preferred
however, if the price warrants it. OF
the different kinds of sand the cleanest is
the most suitable, but a small alloy Of
clay is not Objectionable In fact 1t can
be said that all kinds of sand suitable for
building purposes or for the preparation
of mortar may be used. The proportions
are from four to six parts Of lime to
ninety-four to n.nety-sIx parts of sand,
the small variation depending On the
quality of the sand After pulveriztng
the lime in a ball grinder both substances
are mechanically :, measured and then
thoroughly mixedq by machinery. This
mixture is then pressed into stones, which
are afterward piled on 1atcars and push
ed into a cylindrical boiler The boiler Is
then Theoretically closed and steam turn
ed on at from eight to nine atmospheres.
In about ten hours, the process of harden
ing is finished and the stones are ready
for USE C e

WE SEE THE FINISH.

Fhe splitter must go. A new com
with which some of us are familiar at
least so far as being able to repeat
them is concerned. The new one which
is to be denominated the eleventh is
Thou shalt not Spit This is the basic
law There are however conditions to
mollify the rigid terms of this biblical
looking declaration, restricting the
natural rights of men. The proper ex-
bodied in the secular law would be
Thou shalt not spit on the floor of the
street cars, either elevated, surface or
subways; thou shalt not spit upon the
floor of any public building, nor upon
the sidewalk, neither thou, nor thy
wife, not thy man-servant nor thy
maid-servant, nor the stranger who
dwells within the gates, on pain of being
taken before the police magistrate and
placed under $100 bonds to appear and
answer the charge of violating the laws
of the land"
This is the law as it stands on the
statute books of the city of New York
For some months the splitter has deted
public opinion and the rules of decency-
he has expectorated whenever and
wherever he felt the inclination. The
disguised looks Of the ladies as they
drew their skirts closer about their
beautiful forms moved him not. The
knowledge Of the anti-spitting ordinance
and the presence of a policeman We're
nothing to him-was he not exercising
an inalienable prerogatfve A change
has come over the spirit of the New
York spitter's dreams. The law is no
longer a dead letter, but a live and
capable force. The splitter is politely
asked to go to the police station and
arrange for his bond or go to jail. We
think we see the finish of the splitter
i'll New York city. Ignorance of the law
excuses no man. The Hay Seed frQfn
Kansas and the Maple Sugar Maker
from Vermont as we'll as the Sport from
Chicago must refrain while in New York
city from that delightful rast1me of
indiscriminate splitting or take the con-
sequences.
This position taken by the board OF
health of New York to enforce a most
righteous ordinance should be emulated
by every city in the United States. This
splitting habit is not only filthy and dis
gusting, but is an actual menace to the
health of the community 1t is on this
score that it's strict enforcement can
be insisted upon. Every germ disease
that flesh is heir to is spread broadcast
by this barberous custom.
How is it with st. Paul? We have an
ordinance making it an offense punish
able with fine or Imprisonment to ex-
pectorate on the sidewalk or in a street
| car within the limits of the city.
The splitter has practically disappeared
from the street cars, but he still fingers
on the street, and now and then leaves
| his mark. He, however, is growing
| beautifully less. Except when a con-
| vention of some kind is in session g.

| tive safety A tobacco chewer some
| times forgets and leaves a stain on the
fair face of the city. A few arrests
might improve the manners of the

Is life worth living? That depends
upon the life and the liver. What is
pay? Daily food, clothing, comfort and
reasonable adjustment with conditions
may be considered good pay for some
people, while others do not care whether
they have much of any of these re-
qulrements so that they have some
money boarded up. And such people. as
they get old, become more grasping, and
the main thought of their lives centers
around money-and they die and leave
