A POLICY OF SILENCE.

If Secretary Taft could have his way
he would not permit the question of
the Independence of the Filipinos to be
raised at all. He assumes that the
United States are going to retain pos
session of the Philippines for a long
time, if not for all time, and that the
continual talking of independence for
the Filipinos keeps them in state of
unrest.
He favors giving them independence
when they are ready for 1t, but 1t will
take several generations to make them
ready. Independence now, according
to Secretary Taft, would mean ruin for
them. They would war among them
selves and go back to barbarism.
But 1t is useless for Secretary Taft
to advocate a policy of silence. The
American people are going to talk
about matters which concern them as
much as they please. Besides. so far
as the Flipinos are concerned, a pc
tition is to be presented to the Nation
al Convention of each of the great po-
lltical parties requesting a plank be
put in the platform favoring early self
government, If not independence, for
them. That will make talk enough
about the Filipinos.
Secretary Taft is very hopeful Of the
future of the little brown people. He
said as much in his New York Cham
Der of Commerce speech last week, but
| he is fearful that with their affairs
occupying so large a space in our field
of politics they will become restless,
and that their progress towards con-
dition in which they will be fit to take
charge of their own affairs will thus
! be retarded.

Personal.

1t is believed that in the past two
and a half years Theodore Roosevelt
has broken all records as a presiden-
tial orator. He has delivered $40
speeches in that time.
Senator Stewart, who announces his
intention to retire at the close of his
present term, went to the Senate from
Nevada when the sage brush state was
admitted to the union in 1854. He had
been in the Senate ten years before
any other of the present members be-
came his associates. OF all the men
then in that body, only George F. Ed
wards and John B. Henderson are now
alive, and they retired long ago. Among
his colleagues in the old days were
Lyman Trumbull and Richard Yates of
Illinois, Thomas H. Hendricks of In
diana, William Pitt Fessenden of
Maine, Reverdy Johnson of Maryland,
Sumner and Wilson, Zachariah Chan
dler, John Sherman and Ben Wade,
Henry B. Anthony and Jim Nye.

MEMORIAL DAY.

In Georgia to-day business will be
practically suspended and the people
will gather at the cemeteries and at
the bases of monuments to pay a low
ing tribute to the memory of the heroes
of the South who in the sixties laid
down their lives in the service Of their
country. 1t is now nearly forty years
since the last bugle call to arms sound
ed for the troops in grey, but appre-
citation of their heroism and sacrifices
is as strong now as 1t ever was.
When the graves of the dead are
strewn with flowers to-day, and ora
tors tell of the campaigns on hundred
fields in which the Confederates COW
cred themselves with glory. pride il
the manhood of the South will be evil
denced even through the tears that will
dim so many eyes. Time will not SUI
rice TO wipe out the loving remem-
brance in which the South holds it's
Confederate dead.

Admiral Wirenius. in command Of
the squadron dispatched some time
ago to reinforce the Port Arthur feet
of the Russians. has returned to St.
Petersburg, having failed to get
through the Suez canal. There is an
agreement among the Powers to the
effect that the canal shall be neutral
in time of war. The British authori-
ties, in command of the canal, have
merely enforced that neutrality. In
doing that no favoritism has been
shown the japanese, but merely the in
ternational law has been carried out.
There is now apparently no hope for
the immediate strengthening of the
Russian fleets at either Port Arthur or
Vladivostok. The initiative towards
putting a greater number Of Russian
ships in Far Eastern waters came too

Alas, poor Toral! Does the name
sound strange? That is because indI-
viduals are so soon forgotten by the
public once they cease to figure in the
news of the day. During the fall OF
1898 the name of Toral was familiar to
all newspaper readers throughout the
United States and Europe. 1t was Gen.
Toral upon whom devolved the disa-
greeable duty of surrendering to the
American general at Santiago. Toral
was not the general in command of the
Spanish army during the campaign, but
as the climax approached his superior
officer fell i'll and Toral was made the
mouthpiece to acknowledge defeat. Re-
turning to Spain he found himself in
disgrace, and as a result of his humili-
atoms he lost his reason and had to be
confined in an insane asylum. where a
few days ago he died. He was not re-
sponsible for the defeat of Spain in
Cuba, yet circumstances forced him to
bear such load of disgrace because of
it that he broke down. went mad and
died.

A private letter received by gen.
brother at New Chwang. China. throws
some interesting side lights on the war
in the Far East. The writer of the
letter was at Port Arthur in the en-
ploy OF a steamship company when
that port was first bombarded by the
japanese. He says that at that time,
and later up TO the time his letter was
written. there were no war corre-
spondents at the front, but all Of the
news gathered about the conflict had
TO be taken from all sorts of sources
at second hand. However, the corre-
spondents that were bottled up" in
Japan have now been permitted to
start for the front, so an improve
Inent in the news service may be ex-
pected. All of the Englishmen and
Americans in the disturbed territory,
according 10 the writer of the letter,
are in sympathy with the Russians.
The Japs are opinionated and are suf-
fering from swelled-head. The aver
age Jap's head says the writer, lis
just on the point of cracking with
conceit; but their education is hard
~ deep-seated. In business transac-
tions the japanese have also proven
themselves so Enthusiastically that the
commercial interests over here can
hardly be said TO love the Japs."
Doubtless they appear to better adj
vantage thousands of miles away than
to those who come into close contact
with them.

A Bright Boy.

Yes, 1 think he does said Joe,

An experiment in sugar-making from
watermelon juice was tried in York
county, Virginia, last year and is to
be repeated this season. We have
heard of the experiment being tried in
Georgia, but not with any very prom
Using results. The amount of sugar in
the melon juice is small. and the time
and trouble required to boil out the
water and leave only the sugar makes
the process too expensive to amount
TO a great deal. That sugar can be
made from watermelons is a fact be-
yond question. But when it has been
made. its cost is very much above that
of sugar made from cane or beets. STILL
it may be that the Virginia experiment
tiers will be able to perfect some new
and cheap process for REDUCING the
melon juice to syrup and then to su-
gar.

Turkey owes Russia large war in
demniey, as one result of their conflict
of some twenty-five years ago. Rus
STA has on several occasions held this
claim over the head of Turkey as a
sort of diplomatic club. A London
cable says there has been some talk
in that city of the possibility of Rus
sia's swapping the claim with Turkey
for the privilege of bringing her Black
Sea fleet through the Bosphorus and
Dardanelles; but the other Powers
would doubtless have something to say
about that.

Says the Brooklyn Eagle: THE boil
weevil caused a loss to the cotton
growers last year of $5OO00.OO The
value of the birds slaughtered for mill
linery in the same period was possibly
half a million. If the birds had been
let alone they would have destroyed
the weevils. 1t is a queer economy we
practice, sometimes" That looks well,
but the logic is not good. The birds
were scattered all over the United
States; the boil weevils were in Texas.
A very small percentage of the birds
killed were boil weevil destroyers
But there is too great a destruction Of

A dispatch from Washington TO the
New York Herald says, in connection
with experiments that are being made
10 find a new wood that will make
satisfactory paper pulp, that expert
n.ents have been made with cotton
stalks, but while they make an excel
lent quality of paper, there is not q
sufficient quantity of stalks grown to
make newsprint paper in commercial
bulk" There must be some error
about this. The South grows annual
~ in the neighborhood of 100000
bales of cotton averaging 500 pounds
to the bale. For every pound of lint
cotton produced there must be three
or four pounds of stalk. That would
give some thousands of millions of
pounds of stalks grown every year. 1t
seems that out of that mass of raw
material it ought to be possible to
make paper in commercial quantities,
if the stalk fiber is good for paper
making at all. And we have seen it
stated on what ought to be good au-
tbority that a very fine grade of pa
per is being produced from the stalks
by mills recently erected in the South.
