CECIL RHODES WILL.
The Bulk Of His Fortune Left to Edu-
cation

LONDON, March 29.-The Daily Mail
says it is in a position to assert that Cecil
Rhodes left the bulk OF his fortune, outside
of some personal and family bequests to
the promotion of his vast imperial plan of
education. This project embraces every
land where the Union Jack flies. It's pur-
pose is the intellectual improvement of the
British race through the world and the fos-
tering of imperial sentiment.
The Daily Mail adds that this idea Of bet
ter fitting ''Youngerg Britain to cope sue
cessfully with rival aationalities was long a
dominant theme with Cecil Rhodes but
that even his closest friends little imagined
the absorbing hold it=obtained upon him
until this was disclosed by the terms of his
will.
The details Of this plan of education will
be made public in few days.
Cecil Rhodes left the Dalflam Hall estate
at Newmarket, toa his brother, Col. Francis
w. Rhodes Thisaestate was purchased by
Cecil Rhodes in last December.

TAFT's IDEAS GOOD.
His Views on Future Of Philippines
Approved in Manila.

Files of Philippine newspapers lately re-
ceived in Washington show that the in
sular editors are, industriously discussing
Gov. Taft's testimony before the Senate
committee on the Philippines The Manila
Times approves the governors recon-
mendation that the United States declare
it's intention Of holding the Philippines in
definitely, with eventual quasi indepen-
dence. This means" says the Times
that the American flag will never be
hauled down in these islands, or at least
that it will not be hauled down for a very
long time. While the declaration or policy
of Gov. Taft may be considered by some
as still inclined to vagueness. yet it is as
definite can be predicted at this time
The Filipinos will be encouraged and in
structed in self-government. with a view
to future home rule. Just how large will
be the scope Of the powers granted them
will depend on themselves and the capacity
which they manifest for governing

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
A Suggestion Forcibly Renewed

OuBBSStlon FOTCiDlr renewed
From the Washington Post
Last weeks issue of the Independ-
ent contains an article by Colonel
Charles DENLY, of Indiana, entitled,
Promise the Philippines a Territorial
Government" Colonel Denby was a
member OF the first commission sent
by President Mckinley to the Philip
pines TO study and report upon the
situation. Prior to that appointment
he had for thirteen consecutive years
been United States Minister to China,
having been appointed by President
Cleveland in 1885,. retained by Presi-
don't Harrison. Notwithstanding the
fact that he was and always had been
Democrat. and still retained by Cleve-
land throughout his second term, and
by Mckinley for a year or more. His
unique record and thorough aquaint-
ance with Oriental affairs commended
him to President Mckinley as an ex-
cellent selection for membership of a
non-Eartisan commission.
That commission recommended the
establishment of a territorial govern
ment of the first class. Colonel DENLY
now renews that suggestion. OF the
pending Philippine bill ne says that
its main features have not been criti-
cised. Such a bill. he says, must at
some time become a law. And he con-
hdently asserts that a simple amend
ment to it specifying that in proper
and suitable time the system therein
provided for would be succeeded by
Ia territorial form of government would
end ell trouble in the Philippines and
would usher in for those distracted
islands a period of unexampled peace
and prosperity. That, Colonel DENLY
says. would put an end to discussion
of all constitutional questions 1t would
demonstrate that instead of making a
new departure. setting up the colonial
plan, we were simply follow
ing the plan which our faith
ers blazed out when they an
nexed the Northwest Territory and
which they afterward pursued in all
lamentations of territory, except Texas
and California. Colonel DENLY sub
mits that if we mean to hold the Philip
pines we must some day make them
Territory. IVY not, then" he urges
say now. by an act OF Congress, that
in good time the benefcent laws under
which we ourselves live will be ex-
tended over them? This one utteranc,

GRAND OLD MEN

Many years ago two men were
sworn in as United States SEN
ators on the same day; one
came from Massachusetts and
the other from Alabama One
was an ardent Republican, believing
with all his soul in the great prin-
ciples Of his party; the other a Demo-
crat. a Southern Democrat, with the
party traditions woven into his every
fibre. Those are the points OF the
contrast, yet there are many points Of
similarity. Both have in a way been
Independent, holding to the broader
idea Of statesmanship THAT senators
should represent their country and
regard the general welfare, and not
content themselves with simply caring
for the interests Of their own par
ticular States. Both have been lead
ers whose opinions have commanded
respect, and neither has ever come
under suspicion as seeking his own
private interests.
II is interesting to note then that
in their old age, full OF years and
honors. each disagrees with the policy
of his party on the same great quos-
tion. Senator Hoar denounces the
policy of the Republican party on the
Philippine question, and Senator Nor
gan strenuously upholds it. They have
taught the American people a whole
some lesson, emphasizing the idea that
there is something higher than
party loyalty, and that we have yet
strong virile intellects in the Senate,
whose conduct is governed by con-
science and not expediency. One is
right and the other is wrong, but both
are grand old men Of whom America
should be proud.

CURA,s GRATTruDE

If anyone doubts the gratitude in
Cuban hearts for the work done by
this country for the people OF that
ISLAND. the following editorial from a
leading Havana paper. the Post, will
undeceive them. IL shows that the
Cubans place a higher estimate on
American motives and character than
do certain of our own people. It is so
striking that we cannot refrain from
publishing it in full.
The Star and Stripes, the symbol Of
liberty Of conscience. and the flag of
the greatest nation on earth. was haul
ed down yesterday on MORO Castle, in
view of many thousands of people. 1t
was sight long to be remembered, es-
pecially by Americans present.
The mingled feelings of sadness and
gratitude while witnessing the act will
never be fully described by tongue OF
pen. Language is inadequate to make
/ known the thoughts that occupied the
minds of Americans on such an occa-
lsion. There was a feeling OF sadness
on account of the fact of seeing their
flag lowered to be replaced by an
other, yet on serious. sober Thought, a
lglorious compensation welled up in
each heart at the realization that tn,
lowering Of that flag was one of the
most gracious and magnanimous acts
ever committed by a nation.

We are beginning to realize that as a
speech-maker the President is no mere
amateur His remarks at Arlington
yesterday were appropriate, temperate
and timely. He makes it clear that
the army is worthy of the American
people, and that it is capable Of duph-
eating the great deeds of the past. But
as there have always been those who
have disgraced the colors, and these
viii continue as long as an army is
composed of mere men, the President
points out our duty to mete out pun
ishment where punishment is due.
Roosevelt is an effective speaker be-
cause he always says something that
needs to be said. and says it with the
courage and surety of a statesman.

when a hungry alligator crawled up

How our contemporary can call
this superstition we fail to see. 1t is
the sign of a token, or the token OF a
sign. The detectives will do well to
watch that blackblrd and bring it

who can?
