JAPAN AND THE PHILIPPINES.
Reasons Why the United States Will
Hold the Islands.

DO you think we ought to take the
Philippines" Mr.. Hennessy asked OF
Mr.. Dooley. some four years since Il
do" was the answer; may the divll
fly away wild 'em!"
This sentiment Of the Irish
philosopher seems to find an echo in
the mind of the correspondent who
writes us as to the discussion in st.
Petersburg of the notion that the
United States is considering the ces-
sion of the islands to Japan, scheme
with which he has decided sympathy
and for which he submits some very
plausible reasons in an interesting and
picturesque manner. Unquestionably
| it is a proposition suitable to the sea-
son of the year, and as serious as most
Of the topics agitated in the daily press
1t has two possibilities that any Ameri-
can can contemplate with courtesy, II
not with favor. One is relief from the
expense and vexation attending the ad-
ministartion of the islands, and the
other is the securing Of the free inter-
course in trade with the orient as far
as the authority and influence Of Ja-
pan extend. But If the matter were
really to be submitted to- the American
people for decision we are inclined
strongly to think that the decision
would be adverse; first, because there
is very slight definite interest in ORR
entail trade, and, second, because the
pride of the people would be offended
at the idea Of giving up any task they
had undertaken, and especially in Civ
ing it into the hands of race so re-
Gently admitted to the family OF great
nations.
The American people had little to do
with taking the islands In the first in
stance. They never actually felt that
there was any chance to refuse them.
Acquisition seemed the logical and in
evitable consequence Of the capture Of
Manila and the defeat of Spain. 1t
was part Of the fortunes of war, and
was SO accepted. But having been ac-
cepted, the United States having for
the first time in its history assumed
the management Of distant possessions.
task that has fallen to the lot of
every great power Of Europe, the peo-
pie of the United States would, we are
sure, shrink from stunning the task |
upon other shoulders. It would seem
to them a confession of weakness and,
worse, of timidity, which an indomit-
able instinct would prevent them from

night, of last week. Justice Gilpin gave
"a hearing, on Tuesday, to Ezekiel Boul-
den, one of the alleged victims of the
thiet or thieves. who WIS charged by

the theft. Bowman based his action on
the fact THAT Boulden had been elbow
ing in an amount of cash lately which
it did not appear to him that he could
have honestly acquired and was pre-
pairing to leave town. Boudcn WAS in

dicton of the Media Sage, that Il killing

reported. Around Iron Hill where Chas
Walton. John F., and Benjamin Slack,

hopeful view is taken of the peach pros
pect which is altogether fine. The indi-
cations for other fruit crops, apples,
