The Philippines.

sundered from one another more or less
sharply, who go to make up the people Of
the Philippine Islands, contain many ele-
ments of good, and some elements which We
have right to hope stand for progress. At
present they are utterly incapable of exist
ing in independence at all of building
up a civilization Of their own. / firmly be-
lieve that help them to rise higher
and higher in the scale of civilization and of
capacity for self-government. and 1 most
earnestly hope that in the end they will be
able to stand IL not entirely alone yet in
some such relation to the United States as
Cuba now stands. This end is not yet in
sight and II may be indefinitely postponed
If our people are foolish enough to turn the
attention of the Filipinos away from the
problems of achieving moral and material
prosperity, Of working for a stable. orderly.
and Just government, and toward foolish and
dangerous intrigues for complete indie
pendence for which they are as yet totally
unfit.
On the other hand our people must keep
steadily before their minds the fact that the
justification for bur stay in the Philippines
must ultimately rest chiefly upon the good
we are able to do in the islands. l do not
overlook the fact that in the development of
our interests in the Pacific Ocean and along
its coasts the Philippines have played and
will play important part, and that
interests have been served in more than one
way by the possession of the islands. But
our chief reason for continuing to hold them
must be that ought in good faith to try to
do our share of the worlds work. and this
particular piece of work has been imposed
upon US by the results of the war with Spain
The problem presented to US in the Philip
pine Islands is akin to. but not exactly like.
the problems presented to the other great
civilized powers which have possessions in
the Orient. There are points OF resemblance
in our work to the work which is being done
by the British in India and Egypt. by the
French in AlEiers, by the Dutch in Java, by
the Russians in Turkestan. by the japanese
in Formosa; but more distinctly than any OF
these powers we are endeavOring to develop
the natives themselves that they shall
take an ever-increasing share in their own
government and as far is prudent we are
already admitting their Representatives to a
equality with our own.
There are Commissioners. Judges. and Cow
ernors in the Islands who are FiliDinos and
who have exactly the same share in the
government Of the Islands have their col

Decrease of AleUts and Eski-

The senators who visited Alaska last year, report upon the Aleuts and Eski- mo as follows,
 ~Ot the Aleuts and Eskimo there has been a constant decrease in number since 1898, when, through the discov- cry of gold, the whites rushed into che territory Hunger, exposure and dis ease have wrought havoc among them. When the Russians took possession oi this territory they brought with them habits and diseases dem0ralizing in their nature. These were quickly &C., qu.red by the natives and are painfully manifest in their descendants at this time. Their condition was further ai- fac-ed by the demoralizing influences which followed the invasion of the ter rtory by the gold hunters in 1898, and has grown constantly worse during the last five years Their habits in life have been changed. Their game has been destroyed, or what Is just as bad for them, protected under the law. likeness has increased, poverty has re- suited and the race, among whom pulmonary complaints abound, and in which scrofula and other destroying diseases are common, have declined in strength and in power Go withstand the  attacks of ordinary diseases. An epi- deuic Of measles among the Eskimo two or three years since carried them off iu locks. The death rate has been startling. Conservative men estimate the decrease in this people as high as 30 per cent In their poverty they not only suffer, but have become a burden upon those whose charity is never -0rrht iu vain" "

Third Battle of Bull Run.

Major General Corbin will fight the
third battle of Bull Run. The general
staff of the army is now engaged
upon improving the strategy of Gen
eral "Stonewall' Jackson in what is
regarded by military strategists as the
most mastery campaign of the civil
war.
From Portland, Me-, which never
came nearer to war than seeing in the
offing Spanish fleets which never ex-
listed, the army maneuvers will be
transferred this year to Manassas. Va,
which still bears the marks of the
heavy blows dealt by blue and gray
forty-two years ago.
For the first time an opportunity
will be afforded for effective compari-
sons between the old army which
fought and the new army which is
being trained to fight. Can the mod
ern armament and the methods of
transportation which have developed
forty years from the days when Pope
and Lee raced from their respective
bases to the battle-ground change the
result of their maneuvers? Twenty
two thousand modern soldiers will be
used to test the prowess of the an
cient armies of the rebellion and
prove wnat would have happened had
the commanders whose names made
history possessed KragJorgenson
rifles. Dougherty wagons and the new
army field gun.

Comrade Anderson's reference to Lo-

said to the rebel who shot at a wound

used rife promptly, as a soldier
would.

Reused from the slumber OF an age
long night,
She dropped the lacquered armor she had
borne,
Nor thought herself a recreant, forsworn
Fronting with steadfast eyes the grow
ing light,
Her nightmare dreams all put to instant
fight.
Hers not the part, untruthful years to
mourn,
Hers not to cling to what she saw out
worn.
She planned anew, based on her ancient
right,
a fabric. strong Times wasting TO DEFY
Then turned her thought to choose from
out the West.
Whate'er her wisdom taught would serve
her best
And now she stands queen of the rising
East,
To lead its peoples higher paths to try,
Till nations clash no more, and wars
have ceased.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
aserious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable
fate of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use OF proper
clothing will protect from the fre-
quency and perhaps theseverity of colds,
but with the greatest of precautions
they will come. This is settled fact
of human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps 1t will be wet feet or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
. There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts OF the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
