OPENED THEIR EYES.

A thing that has attracted universal
attention here this week among the
leading democrats, is speech made by
the Hon. William Randolph Hearst, of
New York, before the House Com
mittee on Judiciary, on invitation by
that committee. The occasion was the
consideration by that committee Of the
Joint resolution introduced some time
ago by Mr.. Hearst to the effect that the
Attorney General of the United States
be requested to furnish the House with
all the evidence in the suit against the
Coal Trust brought by Mr.. Hearst
many months ago, given into the
keeping of the Attorney General, and
which has been sleeping ever since in
the pigeon holes of his desk and further
providing that a commission of the
House and Senate, consisting of seven
members, be appointed to 90 through
the testimony thus furnished by Mr..
Hearst aud report If any case had been
made out against the Coal Trust, the
entire facts in the case, in order that
the proper legislation might be enacted
to the end that justice might be done
the consuming public, the proper
punishment administered to the Coal
Trust and restraint fixed upon its future
operations. Mr.. Hearst spoke for an
hour, and number of the members of
the committee, in commenting upon the
speech, said that it was the clearest
exposition and the most lucid explana-
ton of any subject that has ever come
before their committee. This was
cause for some little establishment on
the part of many members of the House,
who had up to this time, believed that
Mr.. Hearst was incapable of making a
speech simply because he had rot been
on his feet listening to the sound of his
voice all during this session. They are
now beginning to take off their hats
to his intellectually as we'll as to his
popularity.
One thing that has served to add to
this popularity was the birth of a bow
in his home on the evening of April
%. The advent of this child has served
to stop the voice of SANDER, in this city
at least, which has been wagged in
noise against him ever since he became
potent factor in the democratic
presidential election. It has served to
accentuate the beautiful domesticity
of his home life surrounded by his
accomplished young wife and his be-
nevolent mother. Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst. Mr. Hearst is a man who
neither smokes nor drinks anything
intoxicating. and he spends every hour
possible from his arduous work with
his family. This l know personally sto
be fact, and yet there are political
scavengers in this country who insist
on throwing filth at him.

IT should be remembered that
William R. Hearst, a private citi-
zen, could bring the coal trust to
time while Philander c.. Knox, a
republican United States attorney
general, professed to be powerless.
1t all depends on how willing an
official is, whether he can repre-
sent the people or not.

The expense Of the session of
congress just ended is by far the
greatest of any in American his

even the most rabid republican
paper. And the people have not
received an iota of benefit from
this lavish expenditure of money.

Si Griggs sits on a soap box and elucldates

 your face; Behold him as he traces out the places oa

 make 1t Dlain Did he not tell how things would end be-
 tween ourselves and Spain? He has the whole thing figured out; he
 knows just when and where The final battle will be fought and who
 shall conquer there. The expert over in Berlin sits at his desk
 and shows Just when and why and which and how,
 proclalming that he knows; The admirals in London town are busy
 pointing out The way in which the willy Jap will put the
 Russ to rout. We laugh at Josh and Si, who drop their

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

At recent examination of young men in England three of the answers to the question What is the Monroe Doc trine?' were: "The religion of America taught by Dr. Monroe on the transmit grafton of souls" the doctrine that people may be married several times. !" and lone that has to do with vaecina- tion and smallpox; it was brought out by Professor Monroe
 This is rather joyous. We suppose there are people in this country who could tell what the Monroe doctrine is if they were given time to look the matter up. The famous doctrine is 8 little clearer than it used to be, and perhaps by and by it will be SO clear that even English schoolboys can make a better guess at it than those men toned above did, Perhaps some United States schoolboys could give more or less vaguely intelligent guesses at it if they were suddenly asked to do so. but it isn't likely that they could spell their answers correctly if they were asked to write them out.

three-tourths of their area at least-a whi.e man is as safe as in Arizona or Colorado or Montana. He may go about with perfect freedom. Not only that, but the people are ready and anx- ious to show to him hospitality. The Filipino from whom he asks a nights lodging feels highly honored and gives him his best. The men salute him as he passes, and the children cry 'Buenas dias," and are very proud if their salu- tation is returned. Among the wild peo- ple the situation is much the same, all though here it is better to send notice of ones coming in advance and to bear some kind of credentials. With these precautions there is no more danger than in travelling on the reserve of a tribe of friendly Indians.
 There are ladrones still at large. but only a few, nearly all having been killed or being in prison serving long sentences, and the islands are now practically free from ladronism. La drones or, as they were formerly called, tusilanes, are simply robbers. The Philippines have always had them, and they were just as abundant and troublesome in the days of Spanish domination as they have been since the flag of Spain came down. They are osten organized into gangs, and their common plan of operation is to shoot un village at night, rob the houses, and perhaps hold some of the people for ransom. Their operations are nearly al- ways directed against their own people. Two or three Americans have been kill ed in fights with ladrones, but not one, so far as known, has been intentionally interfered with. Ladronism reached it's maximum early last spring, when a dozen provinces, some of them near Manila, were infested with 1t. The native constabulary, with white officers, have been most efficient in chasing them down and breaking up their bands. The troops were not called out, as they were not needed. At present there are scarcely any ladrones left, only a few in Albay province in Southern Luzon, where they have not been pursued with as much vigor as elsewhere.
 According to this. our little brown brothers and sisters are doing quite we'll. By and by perhaps they will be so civilized and Christianized that we can give them their independence.

R4PiD-FIRn CIVILIZATION.

Henry Gannett, who superintended the taking of the census in the Philip pines and who has recently returned from Manila, makes q cheering report of the condition of things in the islands. Many people seem to think that out side of a few garrisoned posts it is dangerous for white people to travel about. Nothing, says MT. Gannett, could be further from the truth. The fact is that in the portion of the islands inhabited by the civilized peoples--i. e.,
