HoARs PHILIPPINE PLAN.

The Democratic policy in regard to
the Philippines is to announce to the
Filipinos that it is the purpose of the
United States to give them their in
dependence, and then establish a strong,
stable government and turn it over to
them as soon as it is apparent they
are ready to take charge of it. SEN
ator Hoar, however, wants the Fill
pinos to have control of their affairs
at once. Since he made his great
speech on the Philippine bill he has
been receiving letters and dispatches
from all parts of the country compli
menting him on his effort. From his
talk the inference is drawn that he
thinks he could settle the whole Phil
ippine business within a very short
time if he had the authority.
He was asked a day or two ago by
the representative of one of the great
Western newspapers what his course
would be if the power were given to
him to do what he liked in regard to
the islands. He said that he would
at once call into council the leading
Filipino patriots-Aguinaldo, Mabini,
Lopez and others who have shown
capacity for leadership-and say to
them that the American nation turns
the Philippines over to the Filipinos.
You are to organize a government for
the islands. The Americans will get
out, all except a few soldiers at naval
stations, and a warship or two, but
they will keep an eye on you and see
to it that you are not interfered with
by any outside power. Now go to work
and create Philippine nation"
Mr.. Hoar says he thinks that the
leaders of the Filipinos would under
take the task and would succeed. 1t
may be they would, but it is doubtful
if there are many people in this coun-
try that have as much confidence in
them as Mr.. Hoar has The proba bility
is that if such a plan as he suggests
were adopted there would be war all
over the archipelago inside of a week.
and it would be a war that would
mean the determination of some of the
tribes. Mr.. Hoar of course knows just
what the situation in the islands is
but he talks as If the Filipinos were
prepared to set up and maintain insti-
tutions such as we have in this coun-
try. There is no doubt a percentage
of educated and able Filipinos, but the
great mass of the people are still in
a semi-savage condition. If it were
believed that such a plan as Mr.. Hoar
proposes could be made successful
there would be a big majority of the
people in favor of it, but it is the be-
lief that the Filipinos are not ready
yet for self-government, that they
would be at war among themselves as
soon as our army was withdrawn and
the knowledge that we are responsible
to the entire world for good order in
the islands which create a public SEN
timent against an abrupt withdrawal
such as Mr.. Hoar advises. There is
no probability that his plan will be
adopted

A stern judge was on the bench
when young man was brought before
him on the charge of gambling, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. The evidence
was conclusive, and the judge imposed
a fine, which was paid on the spot
When the court adjourned the de-
PENDANT remained behind and asked
the judge for a few moments CONVEX
sation.
The case is over" he began, land
the fine has been paid and it's settled
as far as that goes, but l want to tell
you how 1t happened. You see, the cop
told us If we didn't stop he'd run us
in. Well, we were playing a jackpot

before the draw. L discarded the ace
and king and drew another queen.
There were good hands out against
me. and they tried to bluff me out, and
l stayed with them. Now, what l want
to know is what you would have done
in a case like that?"
Stayed with them if the gallows had
been in sight" cried the excited Judge.

was not that evidence brought out at

MR. BRYAN.s nIscovERY.

One of the most interesting things
in Mr.. Bryan's experience in Cuba
if not the most interesting, was the
discovery that the Cubans did not be-
lieve that it was the intention of the
United States TO keep faith with them.
OF course there were among the Eng
lish speaking Cubans many who had
faith in the pledge that was given by
Congress that Cuba should be free and
independent, but, according to Mr..
Bryan's observations, the Cubans who
spoke only Spanish thought that at the
last moment the President would find
some excuse for continuing the Amer
lean occupation. There was great
revulsion of feeling therefore in the
Cuban capital when they saw the
American flag come down and that of
Cuba go up.
1t was but natural of course that
the Cubans should have doubted that
the United States would keep faith
with them. They understood how
greedy the great nations of Europe
are for additional territory, and the
history of the world did not furnish
them with examples which justified
them in believing that the American
government would deal with them with
absolute justice and fairness. Be
sides, they had been accustomed to
hear from Americans visiting Cuba,
and also from Americans living there,
the opinion that the American flag
would never come down. No doubt
Mr.. Bryan and other Americans in
Havana on the occasion of the birth
of the Cuban republic felt a thrill of
pride when they witnessed the sur
prise of the Cubans that the United
States were acting strictly in accord
ance with their promise.
And it is probable that the action
of the United States was a surprise
to other nations. If the truth were
known 1t would appear, in all prob
ability, that in all of the capitals of
Europe there was a suspicion, if not
belief, that American occupation of
Cuba would be continued for one rea-
son or another, and that finally the
island would be annexed to the United
States.
II they had such belief they ought
to rejoice that they were mistaken,
because the fact that the American
people kept faith with the Cuban peo-
plea people that could not have pro-
tected themselves because of their
weakness if a wrong had been at
tempted-shows that the world is
growing better, and that the respect
for the rights of peoples is increasing
as we'll as the respect for the rights
of individuals.

A SERMON to suit.

Many Maine people who live in a GER
tain part of Cumberland county will
well remember one "Abner''-so he was
always called in his town, says the
Lewiston Journal. Abner was the wit
of the village and he was commonly Sc
lected to take charge of funerals, be-
cause he was about the only man In
town who had time hanging on his
hands. A citizen died, man who new
er amounted to much, who was never
positively wicked, because that would
have required more of an effort than he
was willing to make. He was, how
ever, far enough from being a good cit
izen, and Abner knew it as we'll as any
body else.
Abner was requested to ask a GER
tain minister to conduct the service,
and he hitched up his old horse and
drove to his house. The minister said
he would attend and then tried to get
a little information concerning the late
lamented.
What sort of a man was he?" he
asked.
well, about the same as no sort of
a man at ALL" replied Abner, frankly
L suppose his loss will be deeply felt
in the community" said the minister.
They're all bearing up well under
it" said Abner, slowly.
Was he a Christian" asked the
minister.
IF he'd been accused of it, the YER
dict would have been not guilty, and
the jury wouldn't have left their seats, -
replied Abner, cheerfully.
Did he attend church," asked the
minister a bit anXiously.
never heard of his doing it," said
Abfer.
How did he dep continued the min
lister.
Just the same as he lived-sort of
naturally" said Abner.
Il don't see how I'm to preach much
of a sermon under such circumstances"
said the minister.
The neighborS all said they didn't
think they wanted much of a sermon,
and so they sent me over to see you,'
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and
So bill, and after the funeral the sat
isfied Abner said, well, we got just
what we wanted, b'gosh."

The Psalm of the Old Soldier.

From the Baltimore American.
The blue is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call. and drum beat die
The blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
A sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richness of the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, long
sleep
The boys who wore the blue:
Above the gray the grasses creep
And both were good and true;
And in the twilight of our life
The ending of the way
There comes forgetfulness of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily glows.
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory OF the rose
Sheds luster on the sod;
The tears-the tears-they are the dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray is blending into blue
The blue fades into gray

One sometimes runs across interest
ing information in unexpected places.
Thus a little pamphlet, published by
the manufacturers Of a certain patented
device for keeping trousers creased and
in good shape and the skirts of women
free from wrinkles Vouchsafes the in
formation that the wife of one of the
Standard Oil magnates has ordered
from the manufacturers thirty-six skirt
hangers and four dozen coat hangers.
From this the natural deduction is that
the lady is the happy owner of thirty
five skirts and forty-seven coats and
waists of various kinds that are worthy
Of the most careful attention while in
wardrobe. From the same publication
it is possible to get an idea of the rela-
tive sartorial elegance of the several
cities of the country, since well creased
trousers and well cared for coats are
pretty fair induces of the social and
financial standing of their wearers; and
the number of wearers of such trousers
and coats in a certain city may be
taken as marking it's degree of refine
ment and affiuence in comparison with
other cities. Thus we see that there
are some four hundred persons in New
York who use the patent trousers press
and hanger. Philadelphia, Chicago
and Boston follow with about one hun
dred each. According to the list, At
lanta has four citizens with more than
one pair of trousers each and who
therefore patronize the hanger and
press company. Neither Charleston nor
Jacksonville appears in the list. Mem
phis has six and Montgomery five sur
plus trouser citizens. Richmond is also
in the five class. Savannah, Schenec-
tady, Omaha, Lowell and Morristown
are credited with seven each, being just
little lower in the list than Newport,
r. l., which boasts nine citizens with
trousers enough to hang some of them
in the closet.

The enormity of the blunder of Gov
Mouttet of St. Pierre becomes more ap-
parent as the investigation into the
destruction of the city progresses. 1t
appears that Prof. Landes. of the Uni
versity of St. Pierre, whom the Gov
ernor sent to Mont Pelee to investigate
conditions prior to the eruption, not
only predicted what followed but sent
a cipher message to Mouttet warning
him that the volcano would not hold it.
self in check much longer, and urging
that the city be depopulated. In the
face of this. Mouttet ordered the scien-
list to keep his mouth shut. placed
soldiers around the city to prevent the
people from going out and exerted him
self TO quiet their apprehensions. The
message sent by the scientist was not
destroyed and has been found. The
Governor persisted with his people. but
that does not mitigate his blunder.

Q 1t was not so long since an unlighted
bicycle on the streets after dark was
pretty sure TO get the rider into trou-
BILE, and excessive speed was quickly
checked by a policeman. Now, how
ever, the regulations governing bicy-
cles seem to have fallen into disuse.
There are to be seen every night about
as many dark" wheels as wheels car
rying lights. Notwithstanding the dan
ger from dark wheels is just as
great now as it ever was. Again, no
body seems to have taken any thought
with respect to the speed of motor
cycles on the streets. Apparently the
they please, disregarding the rights or
everybody else on the highway. On
Drayton street an afternoon or two
ago several gentlemen remarked that
a passing motorcycle must have been
travelling not less than twenty TO
twenty-five miles an hour; the rider
with head bent forward and apparently
intent only on making speed. He man
aged to thread the maze Of vehicles on
the street. but it was marvellous that
several children were not Knocked over.
II Is desirable. Of course. that users
OF all manner Of vehicles be given the
widest range Of liberty consistent with
public safety, but II Is not right or de-
sirable that dark bicycles or speed
ing motorcycles should be permitted
on the strests Of the city.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: Senator Hoar says that the
Philippine blunder has thus far cost
us 5000 100000. That is to say, we
bought the Filipinos at 81 a head, and
now we are about $50 a head behind"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
Courtesy is not always acknowledged
by a return in kind. If the British
government surrenders to this country
the fugitives now in Canada, and our
laws Will not permit our government
to do the same for Great Britain I'M
der parallel circumstances, there are
other ways by which we can serve that
country, and thus show that we are
not unmindful of international obliga-
tons"
The Nashville CTenn.) American

ardson is quoted as saying that the
issue of the next campaign is to be
imperialism. So? By the way, wasn't
imperialism declared by the Kansas
City platform to be the paramount is
sue" in 1900? 1t required two cam
paigns to convince some men that free
silver was not a winning issue. Per
haps two campaigns will teach the
same gentlemen that imperialism fur
nishes an equally impotent issue"
The New York Evening Post (Dem)
says: There is renewed talk at Wash
ington of voting a lump sum to Cuba,
and leaving the tariff alone That
would be, 10 say the best of it, like
giving aims when we might give work
The most effective sympathy we can
show the Cubans is 70 enable them to
earn their own living. To do this was

The Chicago Chronicle says the in
junction brought against the beef trust
by the government is precisely what
the trust wanted, adding: so long as
the injunction prevails beef prices are
bound to go up. Government by in
junction protects the combine from in
dictment and trial by jury. which
would subject guilty combiners to fine
or imprisonment. Government by in
junction is a delightful device for the
perpetuation of combines" Meanwhile
the Republican party has it within its
power to smash the combine by re-
pealing the tariff on meats. But It
is doing nothing in that direction.

that 1t was under the management of

Mountain Lions Making Trouble.

From the Los Angeles TfmeS.l
Mountain lions have become so
numerous in the mountains which skirt
the coast north of Santa Monica can
yon that sheep raisers and cattle men
have lost much of their stock. There
have always been lions in that sec
ton, which probably is the widest
and most inaccessible portion of Los
Angeles county, but not in years have
their depredations been so serious as
during the past two months. Hundreds
of sheep have been killed and many
calves carried away The lions have
grown so bold that their tracks have
been seen within less than mile of
Santa Monica canyon, and the sheep
herders report having seen them PROV
ling about in the mountains while the
fiocks were feeding in the valleys.
One rancher arrived at Santa Monica
canyon yesterday and reported that the
night before sixteen of his sheep had
been killed only short distance from
his ranch house. The tracks OF three
lions were found.
The sheep had been quartered in a
frail corral and when the lions made
an onslaught they stampeded and
scattered far and wide. Many have
not yet been found.
A lion hunt will be held there Sunday
by a party Of we'll known sportsmen
and expert shots from Los Angeles,
with horses and hounds.
