thirty responded to the invitations
sent out and all reported a pleasant
evening. The object of the supper was
to interest the men in the work that
the class is trying to do. While the
attendance was smaller than expected.
the officers and members feel much
encouraged over the result.
At the last meeting of the After
noon Study club it was voted by
majority of those present that for the
Christmas meeting each member con-
tribute gift for friends who are not
members of the club, instead of
making the usual ten cent gifts be-
tween members. Afterwar ards. many
of the club feeling that the custom of
exchange of gifts between members
was too pleasant to be given up, the
Christmas committee make this sug-
gestion-that each member bring her
usual ten cent present. and in addition,
if she be so minded, ten cents or some
article to be used in sending remem-
brances to friends outside the club.
This suggestion is of course, binding
upon no one. but is made simply to
furnish uniform plan for members
to work out.
By order of Christmas Committee.

Preserve Fort Stevens!

During yesterdays exercises at Bat

of the successful defense Of Washing
plea was made by William V. Cox for
the preservation of Fort Stevens. which
formed the center of the Union re-

most significant section of the field as

President Lincoln stood during the
engagement. Here the war President
was under fire for the only time in

States. This fact in itself renders
Fort Stevens an object of national in
terest. and there should be no further
delay In rescuing the ground from the
danger Of private development" so
Of the park system of the capital II
has been due TO individual enterprise
that Fort stevens has been preserved

IL is to be hoped that Congress will

japan and the Philippines.

Somehow whenever the relations be
tween America and Japan are under dis
cussion the Philippines are lugged In.
LET us get rid of the islands, say our
so-called anti-imperialists. They are a
source of weakness to us. but would be
a source OF strength TO Japan. AS Japan
wants them, let her have them. on the
best terms we can secure. Then the
bothersome question of japanese immi-
grafton will be solved. Her surplus pop
ulation will turn to the Philippines and
forget the lure of this country"
This proposition is figuring in the pres
ent controversy. and today's cables from
both Japan and Russia mention It.
Toxic newspaper suggests that japan
ask the cession Of the Philippines in ak
change for the exclusion Of her people
from America. and secretary of the
Russian embassy at this capital. now on
leave at home. Is quoted as saying that
1.-The only course the United States can
take that will prevent violent race
conflict on the Pacific coast 10 the sale Of
the Philippines to Japan"
II is a safe assertion that we shall not
sell For these reasons: Cd The people
Of the United States would object, ca
ject, and (3) the great powers OF Europe
would object. Our presence in the islands
is widely satisfactory. That of Japan
would not be- but would lead to bitter
strife. The aspirations of the educated
and progressive Filipinos are for indie
pendence under a republican form Of gov
eminent and the declared purpose of this
country Is to prepare them for that re-
sponsibi;ity Japan in control would for
ward no such end.
Coming from the .Aguinaldo Aid Society
OF America this proposition has peculiar
tang. The Mckinley administration was
buying human beings at much a
head As the price paid Spain for the
islands was twenty million dollars, and
the population was estimated at ten mil
lions the anti-imperiaiists declared that
we had paid two dollars apiece for the
FiIipinos. and that the transaction was a
disgrace to civilization.
And yet here they are, advocating a
| sale of the same population TO Japan.

| 1879? What price should be put on the

The New York Mayora.ty.

| John Purroy Mitchell for the demo-
cratic nomination for mayor OF New
York? The suggestion seems to be gath
| ering force. He has elements of strength
ability. character and demonstrated
| aptitude for public business. He is young
ard ambitious. He likes TO serve. ana
likes applause \ good sign in a young
man.
\ Did the President play politics with the
collectorship of the port? 1t is be-
lieved AS the story goes. he Welded only
temporarily his preference for that Of
flee. He had picked Mr.. Polk. an ex-
cellent and well qualified man. but not
a power in local politics.
Mr. Mitchell possessed all the qualifca-
tons. He was excellent and capable, and
also a power in local politics So he was
appointed, and even Tammany had to
appear pleased.
But the Presidents real object was to
set a grip on the mayoralty matter BY
appointing Mr.. Mitchell collector, Mr..
Wilson could emphasize the former S
merits and add to his prestige in the
community. Then. in time. Mr.. Mitchell.
strengthened thus. could make play for
the mayoralty nomination. and. securing
that. retire from the collectorship in ia
vor of Mr.. Polk. the President backing
Mr.. Mitchell for mayor, and Mr.. Mitchell
applauding the appointment of Mr.. Polk
to the collectorship.
Whatever, much. little or nothing. there
may be in this talk, it is fact that the
mayoralty situation is at present cOmpli-
Gated for the democrats. strong-their
strongest-man must be nominated and
we'll supported. or they will lose the race.
They may lose it anyhow. Tammany is
in ugly mood, and the democratic oppo-
sition TO Tammany is still ugiier.
Mayor Gaynor would like to run again,
and. notwithstanding a testy disposition
and a rough personal address. has fol-
lowing. What he will do If set aside
without ceremony is a question.
The republicans have very likely man
in District Attorney Whitman. who has
made and is still making. a wonderful
record in the pursuit of erafters and
their allies. AS lawyer and man of all
around good judgment he is setting the
pegs Lawbreakers of all kinds and
grades have never felt a stronger hand
than that Mr.. Whitman is laying on
them in bailiwick where they have en-
loved rare opportunities and much inn
munity He indeed. is cleaning up the
town.
If the President gets into the game be-
hind Mr. Mitchell interest will be much
increased. and particularly as in that
case he will be working again, as last
year, in conjunction with Tammany. For
II the President can effect the nomina-
ton of Mr. Mitchell. he can force Mr..
Murphy to ACCEPT it and work for it.

Multiplying Protection to Bird Life
From the New York Herald.

All persons interested in the provision
in the tariff bill supported by the So
cietes working for the preservation OF
bird life are being urged to write to their
representatives in Congress requesting
their activity against the Capp amend
ment. The bold progressive" who bears
that name has offered an amendment
which allows the importation of bird plu-
mage and bird skins for millinery pur-
poses Of birds usually killed for food and
birds which are killed as pests This In
the opinion Of the National Association
Of Audubon Societies would ehfectually
open the door for indiscriminate impor-
tation and actually leave the law as 1t II
now-wtthout any prohibition-for who Il
to be the Judge whether a bird has beer
killed for food or as q pest?
