You're always sure TO meet
The guinea with his hawk alarm
"Buckwheat! Buckwheat! Buckwheat?
II you should unto New York go
You almost die of fright
When that same guinea whistles low:
Bob White! Bob White! Bob White?
But down at Philadelphia, too,
He sounds the pheasant's drum;
Most scares the dayights out of you
With his 'Trum! Tr-r-rum! Trum!"
Now. at-Atlantic IS the sea
He's bontOn canvasback.
Just fills your gizzard up with glee
To hear him "Quack! Quack! Quack!"

You used to cost but nit!
But now you cost from two to five

But now, full dressed in town,
You're frilled in parsley and pink knots
And sport a fine sheath gown,

the dignity Of the nation that its most

implies an exceedingly heavy pecuniary
sacrifice.
1t IS earnestly to be desired that some

the theory that right must be done be-
tween nations precisely as between indi-

has ever been better performed. The men on

the ungrudging respect and gratitude OF

The Philippines.
Real progress toward self government is
being made in the Philippine islands. The
gathering of a Philippine legislative body
and Philippine assembly marks a process
absolutely new In Asia, not only as re-
CARDS Asiatic colonies of European pow
ers but as regards Asiatic possessions OF
excepting the striking and wonderful ex-
ample afforded by the great empire OF
Japan, 1t opens an entirely new depart-
ure when compared with anything which
has happened among Asiatic powers which
are their own masters. Hitherto this Phil
ppine legislature has acted with modera-
ton and self-reStraint, and has seemed
in practical fashion to realize the eternal
truth that there must always be govern
ment, and that the only way in which any
body of individuals can escape the nee
essity of being governed by outsiders is to
show that they are able to restrain them
selves, to keep down wrongdoing and dis-
order The Filipino people, through their
officials, are therefore making real steps
in the direction OF self-government. /
hope and believe that these steps mark
the beginning of a course which will con-
tinue till the Filipinos become fit to de-
eide for themselves whether they desire
to be an Independent nation.

zenship be conferred upon the people OF

two years, and Cuba has thriven and PROS
pered under it. Our earnest hope and
one desire is that the people of the island
shall now govern themselves with Justice,
SO that peace and order may he SECURE.
