Our Triumph In the PhiIfnnjnes

FROM the Louisville Courier Journal
The peaceful adjustment of affairs in
taese Islands again illustrates the fact that
the AnSlo-Saxon is the greatest of coIoniz-
ers, He Is successful because. In addition to
MS general Intelligence he is just and fair
minded While his history has been stained
with many acts of cruelty and oppression
In dealing with the weaker races Vet in
the long run 1t has been the strongest
agency In the upliftment of civilization. the
extension of religion. Witness the work of
redemption that has been carried on in
India, where III spite of all that England q
traducers may say the taxes have been
greatly nghtened the country's resources
developed and pestilence and famine have
been checked though still prevailing, RELIEF
work being carried on by the nation on the
grandest scale ever known. The rescue OF
the teeming millions of India from the
tyranny of native rule has been a great
work. and no less notable has been the
wise British federation of native religions
without which the masses could not have
been so well controlled. 1t Is the same In
restored to comfort and comparative opu-
lence, and where engineering science has
reclaimed the valley of the Nile for the
beneht or the ancient race. Wherever the
British flag has waved there has been good
government In the main, and good govern
ment will continue until the Anglo-Saxon
degenerates In his racial character
The United States have been forced by
circumstances to assume similar burdens
and in every case the new peoples brought
under their beneficent rule will profit more
than the Americans themselves. Wherever
| the stars and stripes wave there will be law
and order and religion, and the uplifting of
mankind. No American has reason to be
ashamed for what We have already done in

capitol building at Harrisburg a few years
ago. and was stimulated by the scandals
which accompanied the work of rebuilding.
Should Philadelphia secure the deSgna-
tion it will add one to the small number
of largest state cities which are at the
same time the capitals. There are now
only eleven such cases, the rule being that
the capital is located in a comparatively
small place. In some instances the capital
city Is little more than a town, when COM
pared with the metropolis of the common
wealth. The exceptions to the rule are
Boston. Providence Richmond, Atlanta.
Indianapolis. Little Rock Des Moines,
Cheyenne, Salt Lake. Denver and Boise.
Chicago has from time to time sought to
join the list by securing the removal of
the capital from Springfield, but the senu-
ment throughout the state outside of Cook
county is strongly against the change.
In only rare instances is there any prob
ability of the state capital Overtaking the
state metropolis. ST. Paul at one time held
it's own steadily against Minneapolis. but
the past few years have shown the latter
to be leaving the capital behind. New
Haven's university population and advan-
tage of location form too heavy handi-
cap over Hartford to warrant the belief
lis. Trenton has no such prospects as
against Newark or Jersey City as to lead
to the belief that the capital will ever be-
come the largest center in that state. In
some of the southern states there may be
changes-short of capital removal-in the
course of time. such through the
growth of Savannah. or decided popula-
ton movement IN Mississippi, where the
cities are as Yet all comparatively small.
or in Texas. where it is possible that the
remarkable agricultural and mineral ex-
pansion of the past few years may bring
Austin more definitely into the center of
things. The northwestern states may like
wise show changes in this respect, as set
tiement proceeds. and a shift is possible
at any time in Nevada, where Reno, the
metropolis. has less than 5000 people and
the capital is only couple of thousand
behind.

BUFFALO SHOW OPENS.
Gates of rlammoth Pan-Ameri-
lean Exposition Swings Ajar
Without Ceremony.

The gates of the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo, n. T., were thrown
open Wednesday morning according to
program, and Notwithstanding it had
rained all night and the weather con-
ditions were threatening, large crowds
were in evidence.
At $50 a. m. the turnstiles clicked
and the first of the millions of people
who will visit the beautiful Rainbow
City during the six months of its e1-
isteoce passed into the grounds.
No ceremonies marked the opening
of the gates, it having been decided
by the management to combine the
opening day ceremonies with those OF
/. May 20.
William Hamlin was permitted by
agreement to purchase the first ticket,
he having offered some some ago to
pay s., 900 for the privilege.
At noon the government building
was thrown open and General Brig
ham, chairman of the government
board, made brief address.
The following message conveying
the congratulations of President Nc
Kinley was read:
MEMPHIS, TENN, May 1.-The presi-
don't directs me to convey his con.
gratulations to the citizens of Buffalo
upon the auspicious opening OF the

blossom and ripe in expectation. May

Simultaneously with the opening OF
the exposition gates, number OF
pigeons were released. Thirty-fve went
to Oil City, twenty-five to Cleveland
and five each to Toledo and Pittsburg.
Attached to their legs was this mes
sage:

SECRETARY ROOT GIVES ORDER
Provision of Congress For Care OF
Confederate Graves at WASH
ington to Be Carried Out.

A Washington special says: Sec
retary Root has given orders to the
auartermaster generals department
for the execution Of the act of con-
gress requiring the re-burial in Ar
lington national cemetery of the con-
federats dead now there, numbering
1875. and with them the remains of the
1875 confederates buried at the ma
tional soldiers home here. Protests
have been received by the secretary
from the women of Virginia, who wish
the remains taken south, but the order
remains unchanged.
It is stated at the war department
that the action by Secretary Root III
respect to the reburial of the confed-
crate dead at Arlington cemetery is in
strict conformity with the requirements
of special act of congress, which
made an appropriation of 50, 500 for
marking the new graves with head
stones.
Soon after the law took effect oppo-
sition was manifested toward it's pro-
visions by the representatives OF GER
tain confederate organizations. The
result was that the authorities sus-
pended action in the matter.
Considerable correspondence then
took place between the officials OF the
war department and ladies represent
ing certain confederate organizations
at Richmond and elsewhere.
A few days ago Secretary Root in
structed the quartermaster general to
carry out the law, at the same time in.
forming all the parties interested OF
his action. It is understood that Sec
retary Root acted in this matter on
representations made by Senator Cock
rell.
It is further stated that the action Of
the department is in line with Presi-
dent McKinley's policy of giving the
same care and attention to the graves
Of the Confederate dead as is given to
those who fell on the Union side. In
a telegram to the quartermaster gem
eral, Mrs. N. V. Randolph, of Rich
mond, Va, protested against the pro-
posed action in the name Of the "wo-
men of Virginia" and added: 1--WE
have no right to place our dead against
the protest of the G. A. R."
In reference to this it is said that no
protest has been made by the G. A. 4.
