exile by delivering an address at the
Fourth of July celebration that equals

fundamental difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties of
today was cogent and effective. He
said:

opportunities in the pursuit of happi-

perity by industry 1t is the gospel OF
Democracy. Every departure from its
principles springs from a desire to
impair it's authority, and this is the
vital distinction today between the
Democratic and Republican parties.
The measures which divide the par
ties now are the subjugation of distant
islands to be held as dependencies by
this government, the imposition OF pro-
tective tariffs and the grant of sub
sides to American shipping, The
first of these is what we usually term
imperialistic policy but as matter OF
fact all three are best described as
Imperialism in contradistincton to
Democracy, because they all aim al

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Manila, March %, 1902

Manila, March %. 1902.
Mr.. Walter J. Ballard. Schenectady, n. v:
Dear Sir: | have been away from Manila fol
nearly four weeks, and have been into four OF
the northwestern provinces OF the island of Li
xon. During my tour this time, which was made
very quietly and largely as matter of vaca'
tion. | have had the chance to observe the work
OF the teachers very carefully, and it seems to me
that the teachers are proving 10 be very i'm
portlnt factor in the changing conditions here
in these islands. My impressions, on the whole,
are quite hopeful, and the teachers, as rule,
seem to enjoy the work. OF course, in the major
ity of cases, there are minor discomforts and, in
some cases, perhaps hardships. Some few teach
crs are disposed to gIumhe, but the great ma
jority take their discomforts very cheerfully and
are devotng themselves heartily and thoroughly
to the work.
The outbreak OF few cases of cholera here has
caused the quarantining of the city, and great
disadvantages confront the work OF the school
department, especially the provincial normal in
ssimtes, which were to be held in nearly all the
provinces OF the islands.
One normal institute in northernnost prov
