The Philippines.

Readable as the whole paper Is. there Is
no part of Secretary Tafts annual repoi'
more interesting than that relating 10 .iie
Philippine Islands. 1t Is full OF vaiuaD'e
suggestions. and they come from MAJ

70 what has been gathered at first hand by
one whose facilities for information were
large. and whose capacity for digesting
facts no man can fairly question. Judge
Taft was not originally an expansionist. He
went to the archipelago at the urgent re-
quest of Mr.. Mckinley, who knew his quar-
ity and respected his judgment. An investi-
CATION of the situation and OF our RESPONSE
bilities brought Judge Taft to the opinion
that we should remain in the Islands ana
work out the task that had fallen to US;
and this opinion he has since In every way
emphasized.
We are now booked to remain. The YER
dict of November is unmistakable on that
point. and what we have to consider Is
general policy for the archipelago which
will develop It as rapidly as possible. The
education Of the people. the encouragement
OF Industries, the safeguarding of invest
ments whereby foreign capital may be In
of good laws whereby order may be main
tained. are things to which we should ad-
dress ourselves at once and keep steadily
in view. And on every point Of Importance
Judge Taft has wise word for the country.
The Philippines may prove to be one OF
the very richest possessions In the world.
Their resources-not yet fully explored-are
varied and remarkable, and events are on
the cards In that quarter Of the globe which
promise a great awakening throughout the
east. The questions about which Russia
and Japan went to war are certain to be
enlarged as the war goes on, and no mat
ter which side wins, but particularly II
Japan does, We shall witness a new order
OF things inviting to the spread of trade
and the establishment of progressive Gus

arrives there will be Uncle Sam. dressed in

Vardamau.
From the New York Evening Post.

Vardaman again! This time 1t is the
sneer of that ilI-bred man at the President 8
compliment to Mississippi upon her state
building at st. Louis. expressed In a tele-
gram to the president of the exposition.
the boosted chivalry and courtesy of the
south If it were not long ago known that
Vardaman represents anybody except the
people Of gentle birth and breeding OF his
section. We hope he will continue his slight
ing or his blackguardly references to Mr..
any harm. they do him a great deal Of good
and make friends for him wherever read.
BY and by. too. these utterances and those
of the Tillmans and Helms may sting the
south into realization of two facts: First.
that these men are disgracing it In the eyes
Of the world and injuring It commercially:
second. that they are doing their yery best
to create bitter feeling in the north
against the section which chooses such men
to its highest Offices. We are glad to note
that this truth is beginning to dawn upon
our southern contemporaries. Not ever, the
mississippi press will stand for this latest
performance.

is easy to imagine the amount of cold that
would come into a house through such

In the disposal Of ashes there Is much
carelessness which leads to calls upon the
fire department. It is unsafe in any case
to deposit furnace refuse in wooden barrels
or boxes. Metal receptacles alone are mt
for this purpose. The avoidance Of single
small fire means an economy far more
than sufficient to cover the cost Of an out
At Of this kind.
Care should be taken also to prevent the
accumulation Of trash around the furnace
mouth. such as might become quickly
fgnited by hot Goals dropping In 1t. Fires
often start from this cause and are easily
prevented by little attention to details.
The price OF safety from this element in
winter II not high one to pay. In terms OF
forethougiit and common sense. little
personal attention to the furnace on the
part Of tho householder will be better than
insurance money.

All France Mourns the Loss of a
FaVorite.
Paris.-Princess Mathilde, the only
daughter OF Prince Jerome Bonaparte,
is dead Shortly before the princess
expired, ex-Empress Eugene and Prip-
cess Clothilde visited the bedside.
The death of Princess Mathilde has
caused sorrow throughout France, not
only because she was one of the last
of the Napoleons, but because she was
always known as ''the good princess"
Prince Jerome Bonaparte arranged
a marriage between his daughter and
Louis Napoleon, but without success.
The pretender, who later became en-
peror, caused the breaking off of the
match and this rupture was followed
by Princess Mathilde's marriage to
Count Demidorff, a rich Russian.
While they were in st. Petersburg
Emperor Nicholas conceived a great
affection for the princess and gave her
a decree of divorce when she was no
longer able to live with her husband.
