SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 25, 1903

A CORRESPONDENT sends to the New
York Post some quotations from the
writings of great men which are pecu-
liarlv pertinent to the Philippine adven-
ture and worthy of every thoughtful
citizens earnest consideration. John
Fiske, in his history of the American
Revolution, says;
From all the history of the European
world since the later days of the Roman
Republic, there is no more important
lesson to learn than this that 1t Is I'M
possible for free people to govern de-
pendent people despotically without en-
dangering its own freedom.
When we are told the mission of the
United States in the Orient is to bestow
the blessings of civilization upon be-
nighted people and teach them how to
govern themselves, it may be well to re-
call these words of Balzac:
Alas nothing enlighteDs a govern
ment, and of all governments the one
least susceptible Of enlightenment is the
one that thinks itself created to shed
light.
In commenting upon the above the
Philadelphia North American says
Unhappily the Philippines are so far
away that the American people cannot
see the effects Of benevolent assimilation,
and therefore are Indifferent to the whole
perilous problem.

Observation-Disclosures wedding.


London, April 25.-W. K. Wander
bilt was married to Mrs. Rutherfurd at
9 O'Clock this morning, in ST. Marks
Church on North Audley street. The
preparations for the wedding have been
carried on with the greatest secrecy.
The first inkling that the American rail
road financier was about to be married
for a second time was obtained last
week, when Vanderbilt, through his
attorneys, obtained from Justice Geig-
erich, of the New York Supreme Court,
an order modifying the decree of divorce
entered against him on March 9Th, 1895,
by the then Mrs. Vanderbilt, who is
now Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont so that
Mr.. Vanderbilt might remarry at will.
Beside the bride and groom only four
Others attended the wedding. They
were Henry White, Secretary of
the American Embassy, who gave
thei away; Winfield Scott Hoyt,
who was best man, and the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.
The bride was attired in plain grey
travelling dress. She wore no flowers or
Jewels, and carried only a small prayer
book. The marriage was absolutely a
secret one, nobody knowing anything
about it until after the ceremony. After
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
left the church by the back door in order
to eyade crowd at the front, although
there was nobody there. The couple
left Immediately for the country from
whence they will proceed to the Cont
nent. They have no intention of visit
ing America for some time TO come, but
on their return from their continental
trip will take up their residence in
Paris. Mr.. Vanderbilt gave his bride a
number of handsome diamonds, includ-
ing magnificent tiara. William X.
Vanderbilt, the bridegroom, is at present
head of the Vanderbilt family. He is
81 years old. He was born on Staten
Island, December II, 1849. Mrs.
Rutherfurd the bride, is the widow Of
Lewis NJ. Rutherfurd, jr., whom she
married in June, 1890, and who died in
Switzerland, January, 1901. AT the
time of her marriage to him she was
Mrs. Samuel S. Sands. Mr.. Sands was
killed in an accident at the Meadowbrook
Hunt Club near New York in 1889.
Mrs. Rutherfurd is the second daughter
of Oliver Hartman.

THE ATTITUDE OF Russia in regard to
Manchuria has again troubled the waters,
and the more powerful nations are again
examining their ammunition and prlm-
ings. The powers, it is said, will vigor-
ously resist the demands of Russia. A
breach Of faith is charged on the part of
that nation. The provision to prohibit
the establishment of more treaty ports Is
regarded as aimed directly at the United
States; hence this government may be
the first forced to act. A serious view OF
present conditions is taken by diplomatists
in this country. 1t may be that the
Russians are endeavoring to divert at
tention from the Balkan situation in
order that they may be enabled to make
conquest of places far more desirable
than Manchuria

The next address was by Josephus
Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News

national democratic committee from
North Carolina. He said there have
been four obstacles to educational pro-

against their will to pay taxes 70 educate
him.
"2. Notwithstanding poverty-foI-
lowing war and reconstruction such as
this generation knows not Of
'3. The lack of qualified teachers
and the lack of inducement to capable
men and women to become teachers.
"a. Geographical physical difficulties.
'The greatest of these obstacles has
been, and is now and must be, at least
in this generation, the negro. He has
been the lion in the path, the ever-pres-
ent and often insurmountable obstacle
to public education"
He took a hopeful view as to overcOm-
ing all these obstacles.
The last speaker was DIR. j. II. Kirk
land, chancellor of Vanderbilt Uniyer-
sity, who gave an interesting talk ON
Teacher and the State"

THE ATTACKS being made upon Mr..
Roosevelt by some of the organs of the
trusts and monopolists are considered as
a blind by many. All know full well
that whatever Mr.. Roosevelt may think,
he acts entirely in accord with his party's
leaders, and they are PROFESSIONALLY in
favor of trusts and high tariffs. There
is a well-grounded suspicion that all this
talk about Mr.. Roosevelt being opposed
to high tariff and trust combinations has
been started by republicans to catch un-
wary democrats.

A DISPATCH from Attleboro, Mass.
says that masons at work on the new
Congregational church at that place are
on a strike because a negro has been al
lowed to remain at work on the church.
Massachusetts was one of the first hot
beds of abolitionism in the United
States, and probably did more towards
foisting negro suffrage upon the country
than any other State in the union, and,
not satisfied with that wholesale
blunder, endeavored to bling about the
impossible condition of negro equality.
People in that same State now refuse to
work alongside of colored man. This
is an age ofstrange happenings.
