No CHANGE OF POLICY.

It was not much OF a concession Of
republican policy with respect to the
Philippines when the majority in the
senate yesterday consented TO Mr.. Cul-
berson's amendment to the Philippine
Agricultural Bank lii declaring it to
be the intention of this government to
abandon the islands as soon as a
stable independent government shall
be established there.
Though there has never before been
an official declaration on this point
embodied in a congressional act or
resolution. for the last three or four
years no republican has favored the
holding of the islands longer than
might be necessary TO put the island
ers squarely on their feet. At the
time OF their requirement. in the first
flush Of expansion We had dreams OF
territorial conquest and some Of US be-
lieved that the islands were ours for
ever; we regretted that there was not
other similar real estate upon which
we might seize. Since then We have
come to understand that the posses
sion Of the Philippine is duty rather
than a pleasure or a means Of profit
and no doubt a large majority Of the
people Of this country Of both parties
regret the necessity which forced
those Islands upon US and the neces-
sity that We should remain for any
considerable length Of time in poses
sion.
That there We're imper.alists in this
country was true. but the word i'm
periaIist'' as applied TO President Nc
Kirley by those who called themselves
anti-imperialists was without any
meaning whatever.
At the beginning he disclaimed the
purpose Of this country to retain the
islands beyond the time when they
could govern themselves and no other
republican Of note has promulgated
any other purpose. Intervening events
have shown US what an awful Sinking
Of duty it would have been to leave
the Philippines to themselves after we
had broken the rule OF Spain miser-
ably weak as it was.
That amendment yesterday however
does not give assurance that we viii
abandon the islands early; even within
a generation. for there have not been
in the almost ten years Of our po-
session. multiplying signs that the
natives are progressing fast in the
direction of self government

"In the dictionary of fools we find

and phrases like if l only had time

Did you ever think that many Of
the words and phrases which you
constantly use are your real enemies,
that they leave their hideous pictures
and black shadows in your mind?
How many times have you been
kept from doing a good deed by such
phrases as: "Oh, l can't do that"
Il am afraid that thai will not turn
out WE'LL" "Oh, l know that l can't
do that" Somebody else can do
that a great deal better;;" II am

that?
| believe that those two words Il
can t" have ruined more prospects,
and have kept more ability doing the
work of mediocrity than any other
two words in our language.
81 am afraid of this or that" is a
terrible hinderer, terrible blighter
of ambition, a cooler Of enthusiasm.
All achievements and all efficiency
depend upon initiative, and that is
easily killed by the fear words, the
words which express doubt and I'M
certainty.

The FarmeS Feeds Them All.


(Author Uukown.)
The king may rule DER land and sea,
The soldier ride in pomp and pride,
The sailor roam DER the ocean wide.
But this Or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The writer thinks, the poet sings,
The craftsman fashions wondrous
things;
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The minor follows the precious leads:
But this Or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The merchant he may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty well;
But men may toll through busy days,
Or men may stroll, their pleasant
ways;
From king to beggar, whate'er be-
fall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Inc farmers trade IS one OF worth,
He's partner with the sky and earth;
He's partner with the sun and rain;
And no man loses for his grain;
And men may rise and men may
fall,
The farmer he must feed them all,
God bless the man who sows the
wheat,
Who finds us milk and fruit and
meat;
May his purse be heavy, his heart be
light;
God bless the seeds his hands let
fall,
For the farmer he must feed us all.

Charged $500 for Sass"

A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was
LenoX, that on her first season there
she employed a self respecting vii
lager who had a comfortable turn
out to drive her about. He, feeling
it to be his duty to make the drive
as entertaining as possible, began to
call her attention to the beauty of
the scenery-which she wished to
enjoy undisturbed-and to tell her
who lived in certain houses as they
passed along, until finally Mrs.
Kemble, being unable to stand it any
longer, said in the high tragedy
manner somewhat peculiar to her,
IL have engaged you to drive for
me, sir, and not to talk"
The driver ceased talking, pursed
up his lips and in all their subsequnt
drives his only remarks were such as
he found necessary to address to his
horses. At the end of the season he
handed in his bill for the summer SER
vices. Running her eye down it's
awkward columns she paused at an
item that she didn't understand.
What is this, sir? / cannot COM
prehend it."
With equal gravity he replied:
Sass, $500. l don't often take it,
but when do / charge"
She paid the bill without comment
and continued to employ the same
driver during many summers she
spent there.

q bright youth, to whom he said:
"My boy, I like your appearance and

bring character?" "No, SIR" said
the boy. II can go home and get it. "
"Very well. Come back tomorrow
morning with it; and if it is satisfac-
tory, l dare say shall engage you. "
Late that same afternoon the fnan-
