The Filipinos Not Deceived.

 The Filipinos are just the sort of people to perceive that although there may be a distinction between the old Spanish and the new American rule there is as yet no radical difference. The Philippines Fourth was a Rar- mecide feast. It is not by such clap trap that Americanizaton of these Ma lays is to be accomplished.

The PrO-BOers of London.

The effort to break up the pro-Boer meet
ing in London last night was a mistake.
The meeting gained it's only Importance by
the ill-considered attack on it. With Mr..
Labouchere In the chair-an all-around
quiz ana cynic. ready at any and all times
to aid in embarrassing any and all govern
ments on any and all subjects-and Mr..
Keir Hardie a fantastic socialist on the
stage at his right hand the people had no
good reason to sake the meeting seriously.
The English cause was certain not to be
injured by it. 1t was naturally a little
irritating to have even such Englishme
engaged in such business in the English
capital. but pin pricks do not excuse vio-
lenCe. and London might well have gone
it's way and left those assembled at Queen 8
Hall to indulge themselves to the full
in their feelings. AS proper would it
have been for the sane and patriotic peo-
Pile of Boston to have raided one of those
anti-imperialist meetings held in the in
terests of the Filipinos at the time when
Mr.. Atkinson with his mouth and Mr.. Gar
rison with his pen We're lambasting the
government of the United States on the
subject of the Philippines.
The subject of the treatment of the
families of the Beers by the authorities
which the British government can well af-
ford in proper way to be sensitive. Ac-
cusations on that score should be promptly
and fully met. The world is not prepared
to believe that the Boer women and chill
dren are purposely mistreated or neglected.
and it knows that the British government
is amply able TO care for them. But if the
great difficulties of transportation IN South
Africa. with the Boer raiders dashng in
and destroying trains whenever possible
are in the slightest degree telling on the
provision made for the helpless non-com-
batants. the British government should at
once increase it's energies to improve its
service.
In this country we all recall how the nom
Combatants suffered in Cuba, though no
body would think of imputing Weylerism
to any English soldier. When the story
first appeared, Spain tried to ignore it.
But seeing how it shocked America, Senor
de LONE then tried to hide it. Probably
the dirtiest money he paid out in his eff
fort to humbug the people of this country
about the actual situation in Cuba was
that for denials of the particulars of
horrors existing in the camps of the re-
coucentrados and of the resulting NOR
tality The yarns spun by his subsidized
penmen on that subject read like the lies
of madmen after the truth stood fully re-
vealed.
The Boer war. properly so-called, is about
at an end. But the Beers have made so
brave a resistance that they and theirs
should now receive at the hands of Great
Britain such treatment as will not only in
sure peace. but a renewal of contented
prosperity throughout the whole of South
Africa.

The Army Canteen.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
No one need be surprised that the effects
Of the law abolishing the canteen from the
United States army are proving disastrous.
No man with average worldly sense, who
knows that soldiers should be treated like
men and not like school boys need hesitate
to raise his voice in protest. The attempt
to make men total abstainers by act Of
Congress will fail, it deserves to fail.
The willingness to indulge the Impractical
ethics Of a private organization of agitators
at the expense of the comforts and personal
rights Of the soldiers in the United States
army will evidently soon be rebuked by an
enlightened public opinion. During the
short time that the law has been in force
it has led to Increase in drunkenness and,
worse yet, to increase in venereal diseases.
DR.. l.. l.. Seaman, in a paper read before
the Association of Military and Naval Sur
geons, openly declares this to be a fact.
The men who are obliged to leave the post
for the saloon find it a short step even
tually from the saloon to the brothel. The
American Medical Association at St. Paul
has put itself on record in a resolution in
which it deplores the action of Congress in
abolishing the army post exchange, or can
teen, and in the interest of discipline.
morality and sanitation, recommends its
| establishment at the earliest possible
date.
The effect of the act, as we understand
it. is to deprive the soldier of his social
club and a part of his social life within the
precincts of his post or garrison. If such
a law is to stand we should all look out
lest every club in civil life be closed ere
long by some more Of this grandmotherly
legislation.

prise, some degree of inventiveness and no
end of assurance. He proved to be too
impatient for party restrictions and not
broad enough to constitute himself a new
party nucleus. Some degree of fanaticism
developed IN the latter part Of his political
career and weakened his prestige with the
public. His desires affecting the restric-
ton of the corporations in his state were
wholesome, but his methods of attaining
them were not always to be emuiated An
entire community of Pingrees might be ex-
citing and perhaps Utepian, but would
hardly furnish a desirable place of resi-
dence for the conservative, quiet citizen.
Among Pingrees miscellaneous projects his
potato patch plan attracted considerable
public attention. 1t contained the germs
of true reform. Through it's suggestion
Pingree emphasized the fact that there is
a waste in the economical adjustments of
every community, which, if properly con-
served and applied, might materially re-
duce the sum of human suffering and deg

1t appears from recent utterances of the
Chicago newspapers that the caraveIs
which formed distinctive feature of
the Columbian Exposition of 1893 are in
danger of decay through neglect and of
fetal Indifference Pleas are arising for
the proper preservation of these reproduc-
tions of the vessels of Columbus fleet
which added America to the world of civ
iiization. 1t will be remembered in this
connection that earnest representations
were made after the fair was over that
Washington was the proper resting place
for these exhibits. and a feeble attempt
was made to secure a sufficient appropria-
ton to purchase them and to transport
them to this city. 1t was felt they could
be safely foated in the tidal reservoir,
where. under the shadow of the Washing
ton monument, they would serve as re-
mnders of the beginnings which culmi-
mated so grandly in the fame of the man
immOrtaliZed by the shaft. Or they could
be given housing of appropriate size and
character to afford instructive object

The Militia In Peace and War.

No safe distinction can be drawn. is
sought by the amendment TO the anti-mili
tia resolution under consideration by the
Printing Pressmen's Union, between sup
port of the national guard in time of peace
and in time of war. The militia viii be
strong in time of war in the degree that 1t
has been developed and maintained in
strength and efficiency in time of peace.
To neglect it while no foreign foe menaces
the national safety and then when danger
threatens to join a citizen soldiery is to
argue against any form of militia organ
ization. II the members of one organiza-
tion can without public injury deliberately
hold themselves aloof so can all other
bodies and classes of citizens. Why, then,
maintain any form of militia. if the ,coun-
try believes itself capable of fulfilling its
patriotic duty in emergencies without this
precautionary and preparatory means?
Nor is it logical for the members of any now
law-abidng organization to withdraw from
participation in any agency for the public
peace because some day they may possibly
be called upon to oppose their brethren in
labor. This doctrine applied in all lines,
would destroy every safeguard against civil
chaos. The policeman knows not when he
may be called upon to arrest his own son
or brother. yet he does not resign, nor does
the candidate for the baton shrink from
the responsibility and withdraw from COM
petition for the post.
The national guard should always be
first considered an essential factor in
the scheme of national defense and sec
ondarily influence for the preserva-
rion of domestic order. There is. and should
b.. no radical conflict between organiza-
tions OF workingmen and this necessary
agent of peace. If trades unionism should
openly declare that it cannot accomplish
its purposes without antagoniZing the
forces of law and order a humiliating con-
f. sssiOn would be involved that the or
ganization fails of it's highest and best
uses and threatens instead of promoting
the welfare Of the republic.

Hazen s. Pinxree.

Hazen s. Pingree possessed some elements
of the true reformer, but he lacked those
which lead to permanent results. He saw
chances to change conditions for the bet
ter, and he often perceived the remedies
for the purpose. But apparently he could
not distinguish between the claims of pri-
vate and of public benefit. He seemed to
be unable to suppress his own personal
equation In conducting his campaigns for
reform. 1t will remain for the biographer
and historian to measure the exact degree
of public spirit and philanthropy which ami
mated him and meanwhile he will doubt
less be regarded very widely as contem-
plating always his own political ends. II
may be assumed that history will seek thus
to analyze the strange mixture which con-
stituted this man.. for he was in many
ways unusual in our economy and some oi
his achievements were striking. He pos
sessed unauestioned courage and enter

The excrbitant rates uniformly charged for
many years by the Bell company in the
absence of opposition aroused the protests
of the people, which were unheeded in the
main by the company. and were finally
answered by the organization of indepen-
dent lines. The success of this invasion of

Education in Cuba.

Reports of all kinds from Cuba are assur-
ing. The island is distinctly on the up
grade. Business is increasing. The acreage
of planting is increasing. The cities are
clean. Health is good. The people are liv-
ing as quietly as though the war had closed
thirty instead of only three years ago The
scars of the conflict are rapidly disappear
ing. Spaniard and Cuban are living side by
side, and are not thruSting at each other s
gizzards. The American flag is over all.
American authority Is supreme. American
influence is general and everywhere helpful.
Maybe the latest report is best of all.
Certainly it will appeal strongly to every
body interested in the Cuban people. This
relates to the schools. and comes from Of
fetal sources. There are now in the island
3313 schools. with 1888 teachers and IL, 273
enrolled pupils. The cost of maintenance is
four million dollars year. 1t is expected
shortly to reach six millions, so rapid is
the growth of the schools in every part of
the island. AS an example Of this growth.
it is mentioned that in December, 1899,
there were only 312 schools in all Cuba.
The people are seizing the opportunity to
educate their children, and the school sys-
ten, fashioned after an American model,
is being most carefully and thoroughly ad-
ministered.
The effect of all this, within very few
years, is going to tell very greatly to
Cuba's advantage. Education was not a
Spanish speciality. The people. in that as
in every other particular, were kept in a
backward state while Spain ruled. They
were denied their just dues, and as re-
suit were at the mercy of the governing
classes. But even the poorest now find
the schOoI-hoIIse door omen to their off,
spring: and the way they are responding
shows how keen their appreciation Is of
the value of what is spread before them

intimate, the better prepared they are to
conduct affairs, and the nearer they ap-
proach American standards, the better 1t
will be for us. Nor will they ever be likely
to forget those who started them upward
in the scale The more perfect their schools
become, the better will they be reminded of
the influence which first prevailed to make

are 1900 subscribers to the independent

Bell phones at from $50 to S42 a year. In
Urbana, $500 people, the Independents have
S23 subscribers at S24 year, to 112 for the
Bell at the same rate. In East Liverpool,
16.4o0 people, there are 522 Independent

pendents have $50 subscribers at S24 to 81

Bell phones at ST2 Cleveland, 3S1 900 peo-
pie. has 1000 independent phones at S4S to
1000 Bell at SS4. These figures are fair
examples of the showing throughout the
state. In large cities and small the rule
prevails that where the Independent COM
pany has secured a foothold it has hard
pressed the Bell company against the hand
leap of radical reductions by the old COM
pany. and even, in one case. in the face of
the free gift of service. A significant de-
duction from the statistics is that where
independent companies have started busi-
ness the proportion of total number of
telephones to the population has increased.
In all of the instances herein named the
percentage of phone use is materially
higher than in this city. 1t is also i'm
portant to notice that in at least one case
the Independent company is giving service
at a lower rate to larger number Of sub
scribers than the Bell company serves
here. despite the assertion of the local tele
phone company that the larger the number
of subscribers the greater the expense and
hence the larger the charge should be.
