•British Viow of Our Liabilities. It may very well be that in the case of Cuba the United States will feel bound by her explicit pledges to try the experiment oi self-government m that island ; but she cannot do this without leaving something in the nature of a resident commission to in sure that the last state of Cuba is not worse than the first. And if, after thtee or four years, it is clear that United States intervention, far from bettering the condition of the Cubans, has brought about a more deplorable state of chaos than ever, then the ideal with which the present war was begun—an ideal made sacred by the blood of United States citizens—will become an imperative command. The case of the Philippines stands some what differently. No explicit pledges were given in regard to them. As an incident in a war taken for humane reasons, the United States has made, herself de facto responsible tor life and property in these islands. This is a grave responsibility, and it certainly will not be discharged by an igno minious flight, just when the responsi bility begins to weigh. No amount of moral platitudes upon the obliga tions of good faith would serve to cover the naked fact that, having taken up the sword in the cause of good government, the United States only succeeds in abolishing what little government did exist to make way for sheer anarchy. We refuse to believe this of any section of the English speaking family—least of all, of the people who have made the United States what it is to-day in the comity of nations.— London Outlook.

With all his pride of race the haughty Don is a little fellow. In stature he is least among the Europeans, averaging only inches over 5 feet. The soldier who fights under the stars and stripes averages 5 feet in his stocking feet, he weighs ten pounds more than the Spaniard, and his chest girth is nearly two inches greater. These are points that count. Of course size is not everything in a soldier. Never in history has it counted for so little as it does to-day, inasmuch as modern warfare is con ducted chiefly by machinery, battles are fought at long ranges and hand to hand encounters are rare. The Japanese are shorter than tne Span iards, yet there are no fiercer fighters. The American Indians, on the other hand, are superior in stature to the Yankees. But, other tilings being equal, the bigger tnan has an advan tage. The Yankee is the tallest of civilized men. In Europe only the Norwegian approaches him nearly in this respect, and the Englishman is a full inch shorter. Breaking Up An Umpire- One effect of the war with Spain has been to cast a glaring searchlight upon the decadence of that proud nation, and to acquaint general read ers with the history of her gradual de cline during the past two hundred years. Philip ll's empire was die most extensive in tlve world at the commencement of his reign ; but dur ing his lifetime the seeds of disintegra tion began to develop, and Spain lost most of her North Africap possessions, artd in the next reign Sicily, Naples, Burgundy and Milan. The following list ot losses, taken from a condensed history, will exhibit the rapid and extensive decadence of Spain : The Netherlands in 1609. Malac ca, Ceylon, Java and other islands in 1628. Portugal in 1640. Holland, Brabant and parts of Flanders in 16- 48. Flanders.finally in 1672. Gib ralter in 1704. The Nootka settle ments in 1791. St. Domingo in 1794. Louisiana in 1800. Trinidad in 1802. Floriea in 1819. Mexico, Venezue la, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Patagonia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, San Salvador, Haiti and many other islands from 1810 to rBf2.

Euckncll's Team. The Chronicle says: Bucknell will have a good foot ball team this year, notwithstanding the fact that many of her best players of last year are in the army. The team will re port September ioth for the first practice under Coach Lesher. Mana ger Kress will be in Lewisburg after September sth to make arrangements for the opening of the season. The opening game will be played on the college campus September 24th, two days after school opens ; this necessi tates bringing the team in early. Young Groesus iiedeems Himself. It is an agreeable duty to acknowl edge the patriotism and bravery of those rich and so-called aristocratic young men who are to be found in nearly all the regiments of the volun teer army. VVe do not, of course, refer to those sons of their fathers who have obtained staff appointments through social or political influence. Such men deserve no credit and it is to be noted that they have achieved little honor during the progress of the war. The very fact that they sought to enter the army with rank which they had not earned shows that they were actuated not by patriotism, but by a desire for the cheap glory which may attach to a pair of shoulder straps, secured through patriotism. But there are hundreds, and per haps thousands of society men, young fellows with rich fathers, clubmen, leaders of the german, who enlisted as privates, and who are privates still, unless they have achieved promotion through their own merits. These men, whether they fought with Shat ter at Santiago, or whether they were retained in the great volunteer camps, have done their duty bravely and un complainingly. They have accommo dated themselves to the rough fare, they have slept in mud holes, they have performed the necessary but un pleasant duties inseparable from mili tary life with a spirit which shows that they did not enlist for exhibition purposes, but because they wished to serve their country in its hour of need. To Dinar Out Aliens. In view of the many outbreaks among foreigners employed in the an thracite mines, some of the operators arc talking over plans for getting rid of this lawless element. It is said that in a short time a movement will be started having for its aim the removal of many of these foreigners from the coal regions. The officials think they can get plenty of law-abiding work men to operate their mines, and that while they may have to pay slightly higher wages, they will in the end save by it. Only a few operators are expected to adopt the plan at first, and if they are successful, the big corporations will doubtless follow suit. The for eigners will have to be turned away by degrees. Any attempt at wholesale expulsion would precipitate riots. CONSULTING A WOMAN. Mrß. Plnkham's Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope.
