Gen. Wood on the Philippines.

General Leonard Wood has sailed for his
post in the Philippines. and on the eve of
departure said in an interview:
The Philippines are under the best
government they were ever under. and
cannot see what grievances the Filfpinos
have. There is now trouble the
Islands,
How often the simple fact here stated is
overlooked or perverted by the anti-impe-
ralists in the discussion of this question:
One might easily suppose from their out
givings that the United States had brutaly
''butted in at Manila. overturned a govern
ment ofprogress altogether acceptable to the
people. set them back in all their aspirations,
and inaugurated a mercenary scheme for
the exploitation of the archipelago Their
favorite representation of the case is the
buying of people at so much a head, and
bringing them TO consent and obedience at
The point of the bayonet
The very opposite OF that Is true We
found the Filipinos under the harrow They
had never known what good government
was. Tyrannized over in the Spanish fash
Ion. they were unsettled and unhappy
given to violent outbreaks against author
lily. and dangerous alike to themselves and
To their masters. They hailed us as deliv-
erers. and 1t was with the greatest diff

purpose to massacre those who remained os
their late oppressors.
Did We become oppressors ourselves,
was the change one only of hard masters?
How can anybody familiar with the facts
say that? We resisted with force. as a
matter OF necessity. Agulnaldo's treachery.
but since the putting down of the revolt
led by him we have addressed ourselves
steadily and successfully to the betterment
OF the conditions of the people The Fill
plnos. for the first time In the history of
the islands, are participating In the con-
duct of their own affairs. and looking for
ward with confidence to larger share in
government at an early day. A popular
assembly is only two years off, and educa-
ton is the watchword everywhere
General Wood states the case conserya-
lively. Not only are the Filipinos under
the best government they were ever IN
der" but in its accomplishments and pur-
poses IL is the best government ever vouch-
safed to people incapable of governing
themselves We have proceeded on lines so
advanced and beneficent that We have been
criticised benevolent dreamers and doc
trinaires by powers that have preceded us

giving exhibitions at fairs and other places
OF public assemblage The novelty of
mere commonplace ascension has long since
passed. Not even the steering balloon Is
great attractlon-save perhaps in New York
city. where 1t is never difficult to draw
crowd-and so Baldwin adopted an extra
dangerous expedient to give his exhibition
fresh flavor of daring. His device was to
take with him into the air dynamite sticks
and explode them at high attitudes by cast
ing them out OF the car attached to CORDS,
the pulling of which detonated them.
This was a novelty. 1t gave the people
delightful tremors as they realized that the
slightest mishap would send the venture
some aeronaut instantly to his death. IL
was much more exciting than the down.
ward plunge of the parachutist or the aero
batic performances of a performer at an
altitude of several hundred feet. Then, too,
the sound of the explosions SO high above
was pleasurable. 1t sounded like real wax
fare And there was always the exquisite
possibility that one of the dynamite sticks
might slip from the balloonist's hands and
fall to earth and kill few score or the
spectators There was nothing to be COM
pared with this new Joy.
Fortunately, Baldwin paid his own penalty
for this departure. But he will have sue

A Dream Of Opulence.

Were ] multi-millionaire
I'd have a lot of things;
My pomp and splendor should compare
With earth's most potent kings.
I'd build a score of churches great
In which l seldom knelt;
I'd own forested estate
Whose shade 1 never felt.
I'd have n payroll full of names
OF folk / never knew,
And pictures set in massive frames
Which / would seldom view.
I'd build great palaces with rooms
Where l might walk alone.
Andssplendid gardens rich with blooms
Which died to me unknown.
A lot of colleges I'd rear
Whose precepts I'd not heed:
And libraries both far and near,
With books I'd never read.
Awake or dreaming, night and day.
I'd nurse my golden store.
Where others worked eight hours day
I'd toll the twentyfour.

Perverted Affection.

Here is a paragraph in New York paper
which is likely to suggest thoughts to many
parents:
Mr.. Daddles Dickens was only small
skye terrier dog, but his burial was attend
ed with much pomp. Mr. Dickens was the
property of Mrs. Theodore Braine of South
street. Morristown. n. j.. and was well
known about town. as he never went out
unless attended by a caretaker, who carried
a towel to dry him should he step into a
puddle or be mussed up by some other dog
Mr. Dickens was twelve years old and every
morning had bath and scalp massage
which extended to his feet. The body was
placed in coffin lined with white satin and
shipped to Narragansett Pier. where 1t was
buried beside Kaiser. Mr.. Braine's dog and
Mr.. Dickens former companion. who was
inferred with equal honors a year ago Mr..
and Mrs. Braine have children and they
bestowed great affection upon these dogs"
There is In this statement of the case in
ternal evidence that Mr. and Mrs. Braine
are not without ample worldly goods. Poor
people could hardly have afforded TO spend
good money on the services of dog nurse.
So II Is a safe conclusion that Mr.. and Mrs
Braine adopted dogs instead of children
from choice and not from necessity. The
orphan asylums are filled to overlooking

japan in Peace.

The interview with Baron Kaneko which
appeared In yesterdays Star Is an exceed
lngly interesting deliverance. In that fea-
ture I'm particular referring to the return
and DISARMAMENT of the Japanese armies
he expresses sentiments and makes pre-
dictions of great value. That the men who
fought this with Russia will take up
civil pursuits again easily and success
fully as did the men who fought in the civil
war In America he does not doubt: and
through their labors in peace Japan will be
sent along the path of progress rapidly
as the United States was after 1855.
Japan should have an easier time even
than we had. Ours was bloody strife be-
tween brothers. Hers has been a strife
against an outsider. with all her people
united and enthusiastic. The soldier who
fought against Russia will be hero In
every part of Japan. He will be a welcome
guest at every fireside and all his efforts
to regain his old place. make a new
place for himself. will meet with sympathy
and support. If he does only half as we'll
IN civil life now as he has done a soldier
in time of war, he should prove an inval-
liable man to his country In all that makes
for prosperity.
But different and difficult our task was.
our results in absorbing great host of SOL
diers into the body of our civil life was
wonderful Many men who had fought In
the Union army now settled in the south
and helped to build up Its business for
tunes. while many men who had fought In
the confederate army now moved north to
seize better business opportunities and
there became pillars and ornaments of the
workaday world. The strong men on both
sides proved themselves great In peace as
In war. and were most influential in laying
the solid foundations of a new order of
things.
Japan Will lose some of the men who have
conferred much glory on her. The more
adventurous of the younger spirits will seek
new fields of activity China and Korea
are both inviting, and elsewhere in the east
inducements will appear. The old scenes
and opportunities will no longer suffice, but
thousands of vigorous men with their veins
full of blood. having caught sight OF the
outside world and thinking 1t fair, will try
their luck under new skies and unfamiliar
orditions. And may they win wherever
they 60.

Religion and Rum.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In this period OF declining religious faith
many churches have undertaken to provide
a substitute for 1t in extensive and COM
phcated parish systems of philanthropy. Or
ganized to look after the temporal welfare
of people instead OF their immortal souls.
Various sorts of clubs have been set up
for athletic and military training, for bill
lard playing. basket ball. dancing and
other amusements: but the extreme of alb
surdity was reached when a liquor saloon
was established under religious auspices
and dedicated with religious exercises
The theory on which this rumshop was
started is that the liquor saloon is 1.-The
poor mans club and needs only to be con-
Quoted in moral way to remove the OBJ
jections to such a place Of refreshment.
Incidentally. the assumption that the
liquors furnished in the run of saloons are
inferior of poor quality, the religious
rumshop was to serve the cause of both
good morals and good health by purveyfng
a better article. OF course the thing has
not worked. The humorous incident of the
opening OF religious rumshop gave noto-
riety to the place at the start but that
curiosity soon passed away and the concern
was not prosperous. 1t was beaten In the
competition with the saloons in the bust
ness to make money and not to mix phi
lanthropy with whisky.
