NOT PRoPERLY PRoUD.

General Brayton is the boss" of Rhode Island. Addressing the citizens of Warwick in that State the other day he said: ''Citizens of Warwick, al- though a native of this town I am no better than you who come from other parts of the State, other parts of the country, or other parts of the world"
 No wonder General Brayton is the boss A man who, though town born, can so rule himself and conceal his pride and his merit while address ing the people of his town, some of whom are not town-born, is evidently capable of ruling others. And yet such self-deprecfation as General Brayton displayed hath in it somewhat that sr1acks of dfsIoyalty and dishonesty. Being town-born he knows he is bet ter than the citizens of Warwick who are not town-born, and he knows that Warwick is the only proper place to be born in. Yet with craft aforethought he goes back on himself and on War wick. Some of us in New Haven who are town-born will think that he would have done better to be openly and Ioy- ally proud, even if he didn't sell quite as many clans.

GENERAL MILES, REPORT.

When General Miles was sent, or al- lowed to go, to the Philippines some of the benevolent assimilators were afraid that he would make trouble. He has made it. After he got home and made his report to the War department there was silence at Washington as to the contents of the report. This silence was noticed. especially in Boston, where General Miles is warmly admired, and there was call there and in some other places for the publication of the report. This call was finally but reluc- tantIy noticed by the War department, and part of the report which refers to the misconduct of officers and soldiers in the Philippines is made public. Though some of the revelations are not wholly new they are all very unpleas- ant reading. They make it evident that there has been sad and terrible mixture of cruelty in our benevolent assimilation of our little brown broth CTS. General Miles generates the prin- eipal army officers in the Philippines from responsibility for the cruelties practiced on the Filipinos, but that wont help the Filipinos much or relieve the United States from the shame and disgrace of what has been done. The little Americans" will now feel Hitler than ever.

4 SIGN OF TIT F TIMES.

Senator Newlands of Nevada makes the interesting and perhaps important statement that at the coming session of congress he intends to push to the ut- most his plan for the annexation of Cu- ba, I shall try, he says, ''to have the island attached to our country, first as a territory, but with the understanding that Statehood will follow as soon as the territory is ready for it. Since this is the only ultimate solution of the prob lem of maintaining Cuban independence with an American protectorate, we might as we'll act now, instead of post poning it indefinitely to no useful end. Cuba is asking now for reciprocity as a means of breaking down a part of the protective tariff walls on both sides of the line. If she comes into the United States she will get not only this partial advantage, but the whole thing"
 It is cheering to read that Senator Newlands doesn't intend to benevolent ly assimilate the Cubans unless they want to be so assimilated. His idea seems to be to cordially invite Cuba to join the United States and not even make her acceptance of the invitation a condition precedent to any concession to be granted to her by us This is cer- tainIy polite and the Cubans will doubt less appreciate the politeness even if they don't think it best to accept the invitation,
