A FRONTIER NEWSPAPER

Considering that it is set up with
Spanish types, which do not have some OF
the characters of the English alphabet,
the Iloilo Times, the new American news
paper In the capital Of Panay, p. T., is a
creditable sheet. 1t does not lack for
news, which is a curious mingling of re-
ports of ladrone raids and proposed cleo
trio railways and electric lighting sys-
tens.
The Times reports of the raids show
very Exclusively that ladrones and In
surgents are not to be considered as the
same. If they were the peaceful natives
would not have such fear of them as is
shown in these reports. Wherever garri-
sons of American soldiers are Withdrawn
there is Immediately an exodus of the in
habitants, who do not feel that they are
safe from the robber bands of the noun
tains. The native constabulary seem to
be brave enough, but they are lacking in
cunning and GOODNESS. at least in Panay
and are no match for. the robbers, unless
commanded by Americans, or, perhaps
by former insurgents, who have been un-
der fire and are not easily dismayed.

A SCHOOL THAT ADVERT1sEs

1t has long been a theory that a town
can have no better advertisement than
good public schools. 1t is, moreover, gen
orally considered good business practice
for town that is seeking to build itself
up to earn reputation for good schools.
A striking, concrete instance of this
belief in the public school as an attraction
was shown. in a ha1f-page advertisement
in The Journal Saturday. 1t was
an advertisement of an auction of lots
and lands at Aitkin, Mimi It consisted
merely Of description of the property Of
sfered for sale and a large view-of the Ait
kin high school, which occupied two
thirds Of the half page.
There was not a word about the town or
the surrounding country's inducements to
homeseekers or investors. It was in
tended that the school should speak for
them. 1t was clever piece of advertis-
ing 1t left enough to the readers
imagination to interest him. 1t piqued
his curiosity. He would naturally be in
terested in learning something about a
town that had such a school. He would

The COERCION ACT. IN IRELAND

The British government has no doubt
made mistake in its determination to-
apply the coercion act TO Ireland lane the Or
dering of several regiments Of scottish
and Englisha soldiers to the Island to,
maintain order when it has recently been
admitted by a, large segment OF the Eng
lish press that Ireland, or the. greater por-
ton of it. was. never more orderly than at
present, and the announcement of the gov
eminent of its purpose to apply the CO.
ercion act in the western districts, where
there has been some boycotting by ten
ants, are calculated to inflame the people.
Unfortunately such incidents as the assas
chief secret airy. for Ireland, and Mr.. Burke,
another government official in. Dublin in
1882, by rufians, disclaimed by the Irish
land league, served to keep up the ten
dency to coercive measures on the part of
the government. q
The present act for the prevention of
crime in Ireland was pushed through by
the great liberal leader, Mr.. Gladstone,
who devoted much of his public life try
ing to do something for the benefit of the
Irish people, and make them contented
with the act of union. The great difficulty
in the way of reconciling them with the
union is not~so much the burden of land
lordisn, which, in spite of many land acts,
is still an irritant on account of the very
many small holdings which cannot afford
the ordinary Irish family decent living,
as the aspiration nursed in the Irish heart
of separation from England. The agita-
ton against landlordism is only one
number in the program to achieve the
great object-separation and full self
government.
In 1882 the independence of the Irish
parliament was exacted from the Rock
ingham ministry because England was in
the storm and stress of bitter defeat by
her American, colonies. In less than
twenty years this parliament was bribed
out of existence and the act of union
brought the island more. closely, than ever
under English domination. "A few years
ago Gladstone project to restore the
| lIiou Wd0 sOVCl uc-
| feated. There has been no lack of bene-
fetal legislation for Ireland but it is very
certain Great Britain will not
abandon Ireland until she herself
is overwhelmed with, ID irremediable
disaster. Ireland will no doubt continue
more or less thorn and sharp one in
England's side even if Michael Davitt' &
land program were fully adopted by the
| government.

PROVISIONS AND SAVINGS

AS to whether the poor man is sharing.
in the abundant prosperity of these times
an article that appeared in the: local news
columns of T he Journal, Saturday,
is instructive. 1t was there shown that
though the cost of provisions in Mime
apolis has increased 30 per cent during
the past FIVE years, the average savings
deposit at the Farmers and Mechanics
bank has increased 13 per cent.
AS the clerks, workmen and small
income people generally of Minneapolis
appear to be living more liberallyvand
comfortably than they did five years ago,
the conclusion seems to be unavoidable
that their incomes must have increased
more rapidly than the cost Of living. ~
But that they have not kept up with
the enormous and unprecedented increase
in the price of provisions in the last year
is shown by the fact that while each de-
position has, on the average, $31 more in
the bank than five years ago, and there
are 1880 new depositors, the average
deposit has fallen off IL cents in the
year ending April 1.
The recent increases in prices have put
a burden on the average consumer that
has not been offset by increase in in
come Nor is it; likely that the average
| income will bound UP ,25 per. cent to meet
the same degree of increase in the cost. OF

singers, who were we'll paid for taking it
They were at a loss to understand what in-

two New Workers. who were constantly in

husband and wife were equally devoted to the
singer, and their intimate friendship waa
known to all the members of the company.
1T was. indeed. known that the. couple from
Now York were travelling to be in the society
of the singer. They took the entire journey
to the Pacific coast and back through the
cities Of the middle west.
On arriving here the married couple and
the singer settled in hotel IN town.. They
were nearly rs dnseoarable as they
had been on the read. So agree
ably did they pass the winter
that when the singers went to Boston, Chicago
and the other towns to be visited. on the
spring tour. the, man and wife again accom-
panied their friend in the comnany. They
were to have gone to Pittsburg and baltimore

engagement after the first week in Chicago
