"The avidity with which Judge Parker
and ex-Seeretary Olney swallowed the
statement that the Philippines had cost
this country $650.OOOO00. and the per-
tnacfty with which they cling to it,
after its falsity has been proved again
and again, are past the comprehension OF
persons in Washington who are familiar
with the real conditions in the Philip
pines.
That the cost of the Philippines, In
cluding the <2O,O00.OO0 paid to Spain.
amounted, up to May /. 1902. to $780,
000.O00, has been established beyond dis
pute. No Democratic member of either
house of Congress dared to challenge

The cost to this country for the follow
ing year has been shown to be $3.0SO,-
600, and for the year just closed s., 2,1OO,-

been the actual cost of the Philippines

ment time has seen on this earth We
inherit" is the best possible proof that
Judge Parker takes a purbhnd view OF
the possibilities and benefits of coloniza-
ton. Although separated from the coun-
try that pushed "a backward and inferior
race" from the scene of Judge Parker's
speech to the Avon Beach Regular
Democratic Club of Long Island" does
he think for a moment that England has
not shared in what was conquered for
mankind when the independence of her
American colonies was achieved?
But, beyond all the narrow, petty, and
mistaken views Judge Parker takes of
history and the onward and upward
sweep OF national affairs, stands discIds-
ed the fact that the Democratic candi-
date for President of the United States
is willing to believe everything evil the
lying tongue of slander can utter against
American government in the Philippines,
solely because there is a Republican ad-
ministration in Washington. 1t seems
almost incredible that Presidential can
didate should become the willing herald
of every lying rumor bred in the pur-
lieus of Manila.
And to think that he has descended
to this depth, not to force immediate
abandonment OF the Philippines to the
tender mercies of their own corrupt and
impotent civilization. but to turn over
their preparation for independence to the
party of Tammany, Tweed and Till
mani
Never before has the candidate of a
great political organization stood reveal
ed before the American people in the
role of credulous defamer OF the gov
ernment of his country Il sinks Judge
Parker far below the Level of his party.

The Democratic platform accuses the

An incident at the recent American
bankers convention in New YORK illus
trated the faisity of this statement ap1
how, On the contrary, the Repubhcan
party, by policies which promote tho
business prosperity of the South. has
promoted also feeling of mutual good
will between the better elements, at least,
or the two races. -
A colored banker from Richmond, Va,
John W. Mitchell. made a speech which
brought forth tremendous applause, in
which the delegates from the South Join
ed with the delegates from the North.
Mr. Mitchell said he attended the con-
venuon not only with the consent, but
upon the sdvice, Of the white business
men of the South. He then went on TO
show how the prosperity of the Southern
negroes was continually increasing, and
that this was leading all the time to .
better understanding between the better
elements Of the two races As to the
share OF the negro IN the present phennm-
enal prosperity of the South he said:
Do you know that we produce $1Ta, 1cs, ,ooe

OF the Southern prosperity our people pro-
crce heavy proportion of the tobacco

Rryan'. Revelation.

Rryan's reception in Indiana shows,
conclusiveiy. that the Democrats of the
Middle West are not yet cured of the
free silver craze, with its accompanying
visions. The silence of the St Louis
platform on the money question was eio-
quent Parker's telegram satisfied the
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent gold standard" candidate to the
conservative wing of the party. while the
silver wing was coolly set aside to be
fooled and caioled into good humor dur
ing the campaign.
As a matter OF fact. the rank and Gle
of the Democratic party stand on the
money question and on all others just
where they stood in 1896. The logic OF
events has not convinced their reason,
because. on economic questions, they
have no reason.

tearoom has a green teapot with a

Nagasaki, Headquarters of Japanese


Nagasaki, the headquarters Of III
Japanese land and naval forces in tho
south, is situated on the largest south
ern island of the Japan group and is a
city of about 100000 inhabitants
From this port many of the troops for
Corea have embarked. and here are
placed some of the largest Storehouses
upon which these armies will depend
for their supplies.
Nagasaki has long been one of the
open ports of Japan and because of its
situation is the best known city of that
country to the outside world. Here
the boats of all nations on their way
across the Pacific stop for a supply OF
coal and for this port many of the
great cargoes of American manufac-
lures are directed.
The city is situated at the head Of
one of the safest and most beautiful OF
the many charming bays of which ia
pan boasts. Approach from the south,
the entrance to the harbor is thickly
studded with islands, and the glories
of Japan are revealed to the traveller,
one by one, as his vessel wends its way
up the long neck Of the bay
The entrance is very narrow and per.
rectly adapted for the most powerful
Notifications, which the Japanese have
not forgotten to introduce at every
possible vantage point. Huge guns
frown from every cape and promontory,
and it is said, the masked batteries,
concealed behind the heavy

The MICROSCOPE appears to be simple

one can see, it consists Of a long tube,
with various optical instruments at the
end. The secret of the instrument lies
within-in the mechanism that gives
it the power.
When the instrument is fitted to a
ship, an image of the water and the
things therein beneath the ship can be
thrown on to a screen on deck, so
that number of people at one time
can see what is going on in the water
beneath them. So the microscope,
