Speaking of the concert given by the
Cobalesa Male Quartet of this place at
Boonton recently the Times says: "Their
selections were well chosen and the
voices blended nicely. Mr.. Campbell's
wnistling solos were delightful and call
ed forth much applause, and the solos
of Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Salmon were
also pleasing features of the evening. j..
Woodman Rabbit, the eminent elocu-
ZIONIST, gave number of character
sketches that were admirably rendered
and most varied and artistic. A good
presence and fine voice made the selec-
tions most attractive"
We call special attention to the line of

Pierce Chainless Cushion frame with
coaster brake is one of the latest i'm
provement in bicycles. as the cushion
frame makes all roads smooth and the
coaster brake working on the rear hub
and not on the tire makes riding abso-
lutely safe and a pleasure far beyond the
ordinary wheels. An inspection of the
complete line of 1901 bicycles including
Pierce, Tribune, Reading, Standard,
Wolff American, Orient, and liver John

purchasers of new bicycles.

THE REAL ISSUE.


1t seems to be understood that the Pres
ident can give no comfort to the Commit
tee of the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
ton that is coming to see him about the
Plat amendment. He cannot go behind
the action of Congress. He can make no
promises as to what Congress will do.
If he tells the committee what public
men generally are saying he will tell it
that the chances are that Congress will
not recede from the Plat amendment
will not, in all probability. change 1t in
the least, unless to make additions to it
that will be less acceptable than its
present provisions.
1t may be true that the United States
have not treated the Cubans fairly in
leading them to believe that they were
to have the absolute management of their
affairs, and then imposing upon them
somewhat; but be that as It may. It
seems to be clear that the President and
Congress think 1t will be better for both
Cuba and this country IL a strong re-
straining hand is kept on the former for
a while at least.
The real trouble seems to be this: The
radical element in the Cuban Constitu-
tional Convention, and the element it
represents. want a free hand in issuing
bonds for the payment of the claims of
those who were in the Cuban armies in
the wars against Spain. No one knows
the amount of these claims. They could
be made almost any amount probably
The property holders and business men
cause they don't want the new republic
to start off loaded down with debt. There
is a pretty strong feeling in this coun-
try against having Cuba so burdened.
Those in Cuba who favor the bonds,
and hence are against the Plat amend
ment, have nothing to lose and much to
gain by the bond programme. OF course
there are those in Cuba who are against
the Platt amendment simply because they
want Cuba to be wholly independent, and
there are those who favor that amend
ment for other reasons than that relat-
ing to bonded debt The bond BUSH
ness, however, seems to be the chief is
sue between those who are against the
Piatt amendment and those who are for
it. When the committee reaches this
country. however. there will no doubt be
a clearer statement of the reasons for
and against the amendment than there
has yet been.

AGu1NALno,s ADDRESS.

I
II Aguinaldo has the confidence Of the
Filipinos to the extent 1t is generally be-
lieved he has his address TO them will
have the effect Of bringing peace to the
Philippines. He says that the majority
of his people have decided to accept
American rule, and that ne is willing to
abide by their decision. He tells those
who are stin in arms that If they desire
to do their country a real service they
will abandon their hostile attitude and
join with their fellow citizens in advanc-
ing the welfare of their country under
the sovereignty of the United States.
1t is probable that Aguinaldo is glad
rather than otherwise that he was taken
prisoner He had seen for a long time.
that the FiNpinos would eventually have
to submit to American authority, and THAT
by continuing the war he was accom-
plishing nothing for his country or his
people. He did not see, however how he
could give a satisfactory explanation to
therefore he continued the war He ad-
mits, in his address, that there was an
insurmountable obstacle in the way of the
Filiplnos gaining their independence. He
does not say OF course that he believes
that under American protection the Fill
ipinos VIII get all they were fighting for
but he says that a majority of them be-
lieve they will, and he leaves the i'm
preston that he has the same belief.
There is nothing in the dispatches to in
dictate what the purpose of the govern
ment is in respect to Aguinaldo. There
is no doubt Of course that he will be well
treated. but as to whether an effort will
be made to utilize his influence in estab-
fishing civil government there is no In
formation. 1t is probable that the govern
ment has not reached a decision on that
point. In fact, 1t may be that there is
still uncertainty as to whether he is en-
tirely Trustworthy If he is a man of real
ability. and is disposed to do what he
can to assist his people in reaching a
higher place of civilization, he can be of
great service TO the government. If, on
the contrary. he is treacherous, and
would antagonlze the government as soon
as given his liberty, the chances are that
he will be held prisoner of war until
civil government and peace are 50 firmly
established that he could do no harm If
disposed to stir up strife.
Il will be several weeks Of course be-
fore the Filipinos in all of the islands be-
come satisfied that Aguinaldo has coun-
seIed cessation of hostilities and accept
ance of American rule. 1t is doubtful,
however, If there win be much more
fighting. The insurgents are surrender
ing as fast as they can communicate
with American commanders, and there
are reasons for thinking that by the time
the Taft Commission is ready to substi-
tute civil, for military, government there
will be no insurgents.
