BETTER PAY FOR WORKERS.
One of the Appreciate Results of
the Working-Out of Repub-
lican Policies,

Without any great and sensational
struggles between employers and
workingmen very large number of
wage earners have had their pay in
creased this year. and 1902 is still
young. The gains for labor have been
1nmany trades and in widely separated
parts of the country. AS rule they
have been obtained without strikes,
threats or trouble of any kind. Many
employers have taken such action I'M
solicited.
In all, hundreds of thousands of fam
lilies will have better means of living
comfortably and laying by provision
for old age. They will be freer and
happier, in nearly every case. 1t is
the rare exception to the rule when
wage earners or those dependent on
them are injured by prosperity and
better pay, says the Cleveland Leader.
The effect upon the industries and
business of the country is also an i'm
portant fact to be noted. When wages
go up the consumption of all sorts Of
useful and desirable merchandise in
creases. There is no other stimulant
for trade which is so certain and so
powerful.
1T is needless to argue the point that
the rich use far greater quantities of
the products of labor and capital than
the poor and the middle classes are
able to buy. One wealthy family dis
poses of more work turned into cloth,
food, furniture, paintings, books,
houses and other things which nearly
everyone desires than the consumption
of hundred very poor households rep
resents. This is not true in regard to
the weight or bulk of the food, of
course. but it is, to some degree, in
the human labor represented by the
things eaten. In other particulars, as
in clothing and iewelry, the difference
may be as one to a thousand.
Hence it follows that whenever any
| thing happens which makes a large
number of persons little better able
to buy and use what they want there
| is Immediately marked increase in
the demand for the products OF indus
try, through the entire range of bust
ness. In comparison with the stimu-
lating power of higher wages in the
| United States all the growth of our
| foreign trade is a slight matter
| That is why the most selfish Ameri-
cans. even if far from any direct con-
nection with the artisans and laborers
of the great industrial centers, may
we'll rejoice in the large additions made
this spring to the multitude of Ameri-
can workingmen whose pay is better
now than it ever was before.

DONE FOR THE CUBANs.
The Immense Outlay of Money and
Labor in the Work of Re-
cOnst RI elton

In 1854 it was proposed at the Ostend
conference that the United States pay
Spain $120,OOOOO0 for Cuba. Forty
four years later we entered upon
war to free Cuba which cost us $780,
100000. We compelled Spain to relin-
quish the sovereignty of the island.
We took possession of forts, harbors
and all public property. We sent the
Spanish soldiers home at our own ex-
pense. We paid the Cuban troops out
of our own treasury, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
We rebuilt and extended railroads.
constructed hundreds of miles of wag-
on roads, brought order out of revolu-
tionary chaos, reorganized the gov
eminent, protected the Cubans in all
their rights, maintained an army in
Cuba to preserve peace, and expended
some millions of dollars in building up
what Spaniards and Cubans had de-
stroyed.
After all this expenditure of money,
after three and a half years of recon-
struction work, the United States, on
May 20, is to turn the island over, with
out money and without price, to the
Cubans themselves for local self-gov-
eminent.
No other nation ever did so much,
spent so much, for struggling, aspir-
ing people, but if Cuba, under the pro-
lection of the United States, go for
ward with her people attached to free
institutions and with her trade fos-
tered by beneficent laws, then the
money will have been we'll used.

Samples of Stories Circulated Among
Insurgents to Bring About
Further Hostilities

A recent copy of the Manila Ameri-
can, received at the war department,
contains a letter in regard to the eff
forts of the insurgent leaders in Ba-
tangas province to deceive the igno-
rant natives and bring about further
hostilities, says Washington report.
Batangas province is one of those not
yet pacified, and was recently brought
into prominence by report called for
by the senate on the conditions there.
The correspondent of the American
in Batangas says that an insurrecto
communicate has issued proclama-
ton saying that the United States was
in the midst of bloody civil war, that
a great battle had been fought at Chi
cago in which 1000 regular soldiers
were killed; that an army of anti-im-
perialists was besieging Washington
and that Roosevelt would be deposed
and CDR. Bryan proclaimed president.
In circular letter issued by an
other officer, it was declared that the
junta at Hong-Kong had received a
cablegram from Berlin saying that the
emperor of Germany was about to con-
fer upon Gen. Malcar grand decora-
ton, and that in consideration of a
REIMBURSEMENT by the insurgent gov
eminent of all claims to the Caroline
islands, which formerly belonged to
the Philippines, Germany would sup
ply the insurgents with 4 $500 new rifles
and 100000 Mauser cartridges.
The same officer charges that in
lloilo the Americans established
public hospital and then compelled
all the very sick people to be taken
there for treatment. 1t was noticed
that some of these sick people died
very soon. That they might not be
bothered with cases the American doc
tors administered much poison. In
this easy way the Americans meant to
kill off all their enemies; consequent
ly all who were true to the insurgent
cause should under no circumstances
be taken to an American hospital"
The same officer declared that addi-
tional chaplains had been sent to the
Philippines. the reason being that cal
though the United States was consid-
cred a Protestant nation. SO many
Americans were sent to hell from the
Philippines that all christendom was
scandalized and the pope of Rome
commanded the presidentto send more
chaplains to these islands,"
The paper adds that these are only
samples of many such lies circulated
for the purpose of making trouble
among the natives.

EyThe president has made an excel
lent selection for commissioner of
pensions in Eugene f. Ware, of Tope-
ka, Kan. Mr. Ware is veteran of the
civil war, an able lawyer and man
of high character. His acceptance of
the place would insure its faithful and
intelligent administration. In some
respects there is no more difficult po-
sition connected with any department
in Washington. but those acquainted
with Mr.. Wares abilities and record
believe him to be rarely well qualified
to assume the arduous duties forwhich
President Roosevelt, on the strength
of personal knowledge, has chosen him
