The spetidi should b lead In its on
thety tor both Its matter and its- man
tier. It conllims the uood judgment
of those IiIkIi oillel.ils at Washington
who selected this .nung senator at tho
beginning of hl llrst let m to be th
Inst vpokesman of the administration
in the Philippine debates which may
now lit expected to continue with
mote or less ngul.iilty tluoughnut the
ple.slilentl.il c.iiup.ilKIl, The peecll !s
11 Kre.it 01 .it Ion. otlcllng Slilelldld op
poi tunltles for iliam.itle effects In Its
personal delhciy; but, more than that.
It Is a thniougli pieentatlon of Infor
inatlon and aigument, beating the lm
piess of aeciuacy, sincerity and effec
tive study. The citizen who reads I:
c.nefiilly will leai n much that Is en-tlic-ly
new about Philippine conditions
nnd will afterwaul lew what has bee l
done by the udminlstiatlon in the light
of a changed undei standing.
Senator Heveildge flatly aseits that
Relf-goveinment among the Filipinos,
In other than the most rudimentary
municipal forms. Is a piactic.il Impos
sibility, the academic view of which,
fo beautifully pletuied by the New
Kngl.unl sentimentalists, must be ilis
lpgirded utteih If sueiess shall at
tend American effoits to administer
law and ruder tlunughnut the nichl
pul.igo. He outlines a form of govern
ment testing on the principle of ,i
benevolent Anuilcan despotism and
defends it ns the only pioposltlon
which will lit the neces?itle:i of th
Jlali race. Hut fnieniost of all, he
places the necessity of a complete an 1
lelentless exteimljiation of eveiy ves
tige of aimed lebellion. holding It to
have beer, our gieatest mistake that
wo showed conciliation and foibear
nnce when these weie altogether ml
ronstiued to signify weakness and
fear. Tl.o chlet emphasis in his speech
Is tin own upon the fact that in this
Philippine pioblem we aie called upon
to deal, not with Anglo-Saxons or
Teutons nor with any other bunch of
the Caucasian lace, but with the "half
devil, half child" typo of Oilental.s,
with lespect to whom a complete le
veisal of the policy customary as be
twten Intelligent Occidentals Is abso
lutely Impel at I vo.
The view which Senator Hefeildgo
luesents of the iace pioblems in the
Philippines Is mom sombre nnd nime
K'lious than any yet offeied: but as
nn offj-ot he tin on s unpiecedented in
thuls.isni into his narration of the phy
ideal beiutloK anil lesouues of the
archipelago, alleging it to be, without
exception, the i Idlest garden spot In
all the e.uih's tenltory. The climate,
too, lie Infoims us, has been grossly
maligned, in the hottest period there
lire places, not far fiom .Manila, whets
one can have frost and blankets at
night: and he tells of many i:uiope.iti-i
who have passed their lives in j.iuim
without the slightest disadvantage to
health or strength. It is his opinion
that the aetinl Anir-ilcuilzatli n of i,.
xon. Just as Oklahoma and JCji .Me.i

I
It, Yet tho learning of this lesson Is
a necessity of their situation, equally
so whether It Is to bo their ultlnmto
falo tn stand nlone in Independent
nationality or to form part of the
great republic. For In cither ense, our
obligation to tench this lesson Is the
same: nnd our guardianship cannot
end until it Is mastered.
It Is encouraging to observe that ns
this wholesome discipline proceeds un
der the expert guidance of the new
governor general there is not that
display of icstlessness nmong the
natives which wns so noticeable under
the Hiooke regime. It would seem
that the nmjorlty of Cubans are at
last convinced of the honesty of the
United States' Intentions and con
scious thnt In the person ot General
Wood they Iiave over them a ruler
neither1 to be fooled nor to be fright
ened. This In itself Is n great gain
to them ns well ns a source of relief
to us. While the work ahead Is grp.it
nnd difficult the spirit exhibited
prompts hope of success.
Tho propriety of the boatd of control
coming to some agreement with City
Controller Howell whereby the ac
counts ot the board may be audited by
him Is nppaient when'lt Is understood
that If this is not done there will bo
no check whatever upon the board's
expenditures. The large volume of
business handled annually by the board
wntunts llbeinl payment for nn effi
cient audit, and. Democrat though he
be. City Controller Howell has shown
that he possesses sharp eyesight and
title Cymilc grit.

the Washington coirespondence of tho
Indianapolis Press"
While Kolieils of l't.ih was in the mlrtst
of Ids iiigumciil ion Friday last) befoie
the Tayler Investigating committee, Mr.
I.andls asked suddenly, "Your under
standing or the term 'nieirrliise' Is a cere
iiiiuiv and not a mtulltionV" Huberts re
plied' iillltmntivih, and .Mr. l-andl l de
cl.iitd tint the ill- tlon.ults dellned lear
rl.ige as a state or condition. Hie ccie
numy being simply its In.iuguretioti. This
m,k a tilling point in leganl to the pio
scii of the I'tall en ibllng net which
pt iililed: "Polygamous or pli.i.il mar
ring' s ate hereafter prolilllt"d,' and Mr.
L.tnills pontrnded that the Intention of
ron.lirm was to ti.iille.ite tile pr.ietlco
ot pfihg.iniv In t'tr.h and put the law's
tun on the fertile! pontlni. nice of polyg
amous condition. Mr. l.utull.V nigument
cnniplPtt lv nrsi t Roberts, and the latter
pait of bis pit a was vt ry eak.
The vhole tenor of tho defense In
this case has bpen to read Into tli2
Utah pnabllng net nnd Into the con
stitution of rtnh a meaning with re
rppct lo polygamous relations which
the words themselves do not convey.
In support of tho Moinion nssertion
that there was a tacit understanding
that plural marriages already con
tracted weie to be carried out in good
faith tlieio ha been Introduced no
evidence whatever. There probably
would have been no quarrel with P.ob
eits had lie lemalned In private life;
the disposition is not to punish him
for his polygamy: but when he made
political capital of bis violation of
law nnd tiled to secure the sanction of
congiiss for that violation, he ex
hibited temerity which could not be
allowed.
Hence he will lose his seat.
Although the Filipinos continue to
exhibit some activity, ther; seems lo
l.e no question but that the campaign
in Manila, agnin'-t General Joq Wheder
has been a great success.
Premature.
- ROM THE editor of the Wo.
i-4 man's Journal of Uoston, Mr,
ji Henry P.. IJlackwcll, comes,
with a requost for publica
tion, a plea for the Immediate organ
ization In l-uxon of a. territorial form
of government nearly .similar to thnt
enjoyed by Now Mexico. Mr. Blnclc
well wants the Filipinos, under certain
fianchlse rest: lotions, to have the right
to elect their own legislature and to
be lepresented In congress by a dele
gate with voice but not with vote; ho
also wants them to have unrestilnte-1
fiee trade with the states, and to bj
In every way on a par with our do
mestic tenltoiles save In the reserva
tion by congress of the right to veto
legislation passed by the tentorial as
sembly. Inspired by enthusiasm over
this plan, our Iloston confttre ex
claims "This condition of affairs -wouH
biing, alike to out selves and to thesj
new possessions, nn unpaiallclled agri
cultural prosperity a fn-e interchange
of tc-mpeiato and tropical products,
upon a scale hitherto unknown, at
inlets inutu'illy benefit inl a perma
nent and Incieaslng muket for Amor
lean manufactures a continuous field
for Investment for Ameilcan capital
and eiitei prise and it commerce such
as no- nntlon has ever before enjoyed.
This natural commerce between the
temperate and ton Id zones would cre
ate a fleet of American vissels not de
pendent upon subsidies foi piospeilty,
nnd would vastly enlarge the trnflls
upon our j.illroads, canals, nnd laka
and river str-nineis. Our flour, beef,
pork, mutton, cattle, hay, wheat, corn,
oats, nnd dairy products, our cotton
and linen food, machineiy, agilcul
tuial tools, hatdwarp, coal, petroleum,
lumber, building materials, and a,
thousand articles of comfort, taste nnd
luxuiy. would be fu-ely exchanged for
sugar, tobacco, tea, coflre, chocolate,
rice. India i ubber, mahogany, hemp,
jute, spices, and tropical fruits, nil of
which would be supplied at far lower
pliers than now prevail. Compared
with thes? widely diffused benefits to
consumeis, the loss ot suEar duties,
tho opposition of the sugar trust, and
the outcry of n few would-be monopo.
lists of tobacco nnd oranges are Inslg
ulflcant, Indeed! Moreover, It would
secure In our new possession perma
nent loyalty to tho Hag, and universal
satisfaction based upon general pros
perity and enlightened self-lnteieat,
It would bilng about un eventual unity
of language, laws, manners, nnd Insti
tutions of our own. Tho only way to
govern wisely these now alien com
munltles Is to enable them to Bovern
themselves ns terrltotles under con
gresslonnl supervision."
Ah to the propriety of removing cus
toms barriers botwoon'the stntes nnd
the Island porsesslons, there will, we
think, be little dissent save from'Hpe.
clal Interests fearful lest such removnl
should operato to their detriment. Hut
tho pioposltlon of immediate territor
ial government for the Filipinos Is as
wild ns would be n similar nuggpstlon
for the Comnnphe Indians. Many
long ypats of patient prepatntlon mur.t
elapse before even the best educated
Tagalogs will bp tit to govern them
aelvcs. It would be n crime against
them ns well as against ourselves to
force this responsibility upon them
prematurely. Mr. Illackwell can safe
ly leave this matter to the wisdom
of congress.

According to the report ot the New
York state superintendent of banking,
the state banks In that state gained
$CO,000,000 in resources last year, or
more than 15 per cent. The resources
of the savings banks Increased $43,00,
000 from January to July, which nearly
equals the gain made by them during
the entire year of 1898, while the num
ber of open accounts was Increased 65,
000 In the same six months, whereas the
total increase during the entire year ot
ISflS was only 60,000. These figures are
fatal to Hryanlsin and social revolu
tion. Court proceedings down In Kentucky
never become monotonous. The ses
sions In Clay county were ndjourncd
the other day to allow those In at
tendance' to indulge in a free fight
which resulted in the death of two
men and serious Injury to four others.
A few diversions of this kind In ths
Mollneux trial would no doubt make
the ordeal less burdensome for the
Jury.
In sending his wife to Uncle, Sam'9
boarding house at Manila, Agulnaldo
has again demonstrated his good Judg
ment. When the general break-up of
the Filipino aggregation occurs, both
Agulnaldo nnd his wi'o will be much
Fnfcr In the custody of United Stales
troops than camping about the Jungles
within rench of stray patriots who
have no particular business on hand.
According to Mr. Wu Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister at Washington, China
is reorganizing her army, employing
foreign instructors and endeavoting
earnestly to secure what ho calls a
"mobile arm." This is undoubtedly the
kind of aim which is most useful for
self-protection.
Candy and Jam have been added to
the rations of the British troops In
South Africa. If chewing gum could
be also Included there would probably
be little difficulty experienced in re
cruiting a contingent of amazons for
the army, should their services become
necessary.
m -
KxGovernor Stone, of Missouri, Is the
last Hryan leader to declare for expan
sion. The differences of opinion among
these standard-bearers of the oppo
sition must be a trllle puzzling to tho
average follow his o the silver-tongue J
statesman from Nebraska.
The Hoberts case; the war In South
Afilcn; nnd the Identity of the Uepub
llcan candidate for vice-president, ate
in danger of settlement long before the
Mollneux tilnl goes to the jury.
The Uoers have found Ladysmith a
kind of a Majuba level.

The Sound of Little Feet.
I listened In the morning
For the sound of the llttlo feet
That p.itter'd along In the sunshine .
Over tho quiet street:
For tho tones of tho sweet olco singing
Pome quaint lov'tl strain of old,
As I saw tho wee- hinds full of (lowers.
And the sunny head crown'd with gold.
I wntch'd when tho 'noon was over,
And tho clnek In the tow'r struck four,
As the children came slowly homeward,
Tho hours of sehooltlmn o'er;
And I heard 'mid the rlppla of voices,
Tho ono that my heart lov'tl best,
And I raw a smllo like n sunbeam
Strny'd out of the glowing west.
And now. In the hush ot gloaming,
I watch and I list again;
But the little feet como no longer,
No mote do 1 hear that strain;
For tho flow'rs and the tlr'd llttlo child
heart Are hush'd Into slumber sweet,
Tho' I know that In heaven tho angels
Hear tho sound of the llttlo feet.

Beats the Dutch.
John Bull Is noted for his greed,
For silver, gold anil such,
In hustling for the coin, Indeed,
Ho beats tho Dutch.
With progress In Its latest kink
Ho ever keeps in touch,
In aught Impelling men to think
He beats the Dutch.
In wnr for Kruger we're afraid
Ho'll provo a deal too much,
In everything except a raid
He bcits tho Dutch.

LAWTON'S LAST BATTLE.
(San Mateo, December IS, 1S99.)
Up tho Marlqulna valley
In sheets ot pouring rain,
Through rows of redden ilce-llelds
And miles of tr.unpUd cane,
Kneo-deep In mud nnd water,
Against n. storm of lead,
The Yankee troops went riding
With Lawton at the head.
Ho laughed at death or dengcr,
Tho bravest of the brae.
As he faced tho fti-mtng tienches,
Hut a bullet dug his grave.
Ills fearless eyes wtre covered,
Ills steed before him led,
When tho shallow stream was forded
With Lawton nt the head.
Ills sword was Mieathed beside him,
The blood was on his breast,
Tho gcnernl who neer rested
Lay In eternal reit.
But his guns plivcd Yankee Doodle,
The valley grass was red.
Can Mateo was entered
With Lawton at tho head.
Sho mourns him tn Manila, ( ,
And sighs nt every breath,
Tho widow of tho soldier
Who died n tiddler's death.
Long sho may weep an I listen
To hear tho horses' tread,
Or see tho plumes of yellow
With Lawton nt tho head.

For tho Iat yrnr nnd eix months I had !pen trouhlpd with tho niVES, nnd had
two physicians, who prescribed a blood tonic and tobntho the hi vru with 6aleratun.
Tin tonio did not seem to do mo any Rood, to I k.ivo tip all niwlicine nnd used
notliin;; but tho Faleratns. 'Jim liiwH wero fo itchitiK nnd jminfitl thnt I did not
have one rock I night'ii sleep while I was troubled with them. I had them ho bad
that I wore glove.sat nifrjht in order not to scratch them, nH it took holotiK for them
to lical. I nlo had to ro to the expense of buj in ;i rue; in order not to ruiu tho
carpet in tho bedroom when taMnxthuhiricnitiiR hath, which 1 would hao to take
three and four times a night, and 1 tell jou it was an awful trouble every night.
At llrst when tho liivs appeared they wero as Itir-zo and had tho i-ami appearance
as n peanut, und then they wero nioro easily cooled and disappemed quick, but
when I started to tako tho Tabules they wero m Mnalladnpeaandhtuuj: more nnd
wero hard to cool off. I don't- know how to praNo Hipans Tnbules enough, anil it
seems liko n new iifo to mo, for tho hives have mostly nil disappeared and some
nights I have not any. I nm now on my eighth R-ccnt package, ami t-h.ill continuo
to tako R'PP'A'N'S until thoy establish n iiennanent cure. To recommend tliera
to all my friends is tho bet I can do for Hipans Tubules. I amthlrty-boven yeuri
