Probably the verdict Of history will
rank Cecil Rhodes as the greatest OF
the adventurers of the nineteenth cen
tury. In many respects he is a remind
Ter of the adventures of earlier CEN
turies who had the larger opportunities
of a world not so thoroughly discovered
and subdued. It may be that Rhodes
will be considered the last of the great
adventures, the class of men whose en-
terprise and courage added new lands
to ancient kingdoms. Italy, Holland,
France, Spain and England have IN the
centuries of modern history given birth
to many such. But where is the field
for another? Possibly another may
appear before the destihies of all
Africa are fixed. And there may be a
chauce for one in Asia, if one shall be
born in time. This stamp OF man
does not command the universal
HOMAGE he once did. There IS more
disposition to regard critically the
moral element in his achievements
Power in war, or administration, joined
to LOYALTY to the king, does not so COM
pIetely fill and satisfy the Imagination
as once it did Question OF character
and motive are more obtrusive. Tne
achievements of Rhodes have moi the
fas ination they would have had tour
centuries ago.

According to Austro-Hungarian of
fetal data, great progress was made in
the paci6catior of the Philippines dur
ing the year 1901. Civil administration
has for months past been introduced in
thirty or forty provinces, while those
rarts of the country where the revolu-
tionary movement has not been com,
pletely suppressed are left under mill
ary government. The latter comprises
the lagoon regions, Batangas in Luzon,
and the islands of Samar aud Mindoro,
ID which the military operations have
of late been almost exclusively confined

In his Office down town this young
man is looked upon as a person Of
probity and fine moral sensibilities He
does not have to be all that to keep
his place, for he is rich, and though he
is the junior partner, he supplies the
main part Of the capital and most of
the commercial cleverness. Every year
or two he goes West to pick up some
branded ponies for his polo string,
selling off those which cannot easily be
taught the game, or that have "gone
wrong" in wind, limb, or eyesight. His
elderly partner, who was his guardian
during minority, and who believes in
him utterly as one whom he himself
has moulded by precept and example
caught this part of what the young
man was telephoning the other day:

the latter, is always ready to adjust
any difference which might impair and
hurt the trade between the two coun-
tries.
If We turn over Our eyes to Canada,
Australia, South Africa, we can disco
yer without effort that the political
bonds which unite them to Great Bri-
tain are rather feeble, and that it is
only by the strong commercial ties
binding them to the fatherland that
they have not yet seeded, to form IN
dependent nations.
With my conviction that the best and
surest way to attach one country to an
other consists in building up and
strengthening the trade relations
trough reciprocal exchange Of products
and the development of other interests
in the same line. I-who entertain for
Cuba, my native country, the greatest
love, and feel at the same time deep
gratitude TO the United States, where
for eighteen years, l have met with the
most kind, generous and cordial hoSpl-
tality-am anxious to see both countries

I; therefore, avail myself of this op

With that definition the anxious
inquirer was apparently satisfied, but
he protested: Americans took it with
out leave from people to whom it
was a real title, amcng many others,
sanding for Privy Councillor or a
Prime Minister or Lords son or
daughter. We abolished titles, yet we
bore away this as an epitlet of distinc-
tion' when we broke away from the old
country and monarchica1 dif;erentia-

English were still making fun of its
absurdity and vanity"
And the editors reioined: 1T has

cannot do without it. For instance
how would you otherwise, with due
