Docs the Times want President Mc Klnley to leave the iieacable Inhabi tants of the Philippines, especially those who have accepted American soveielgnty in good faith and exhibited filendllness for the American flag:, to the mmderous vengeance of Agulnal do's bandit bands? Built That Way. vi rrn. imYAN'S "paramount I Issue" this year is to or JL JL ganlze a stable govern ment In the Philippines, which Is what the administration In tends to do as soon as it can; then to give It Independence, that is, to clothe w Ith all the attributes of a sovereign nation a miscellaneous mlxtuyi of Tagals, Macabebes, Igorottes, Sulus, mestizos, Chinese, and others of the sixty odd tribes Inhabiting the archi pelago, pait of whom are Moham medan, part Christian, part savarjn. and pagan, Including jhi uncurtiaci right to cut each other's throats oi declare war on foreign nations as the spirit might move; and to place over tills conglomeration of "independent" firebrands an American protectorate pledging the United States to do its foreign fighting for It. Four years ago his paramount hobby wan that If the United States would take 47 cents worth of silver and stamp one dollar upon it the world at large could be forced to accept that dollar as eaual to 100 cents worth of gold. In other words, he wanted to declare nn American protectorate over an independent coinage scheme for maklnc one dollar out of less than half a dollar, In the hallucination that the great world of ttade would meek ly accept the Inequitable Issue, pocket Its losses and say nothing; and he was po deeply Imbued with the practica bility of this plan that he predicted every conceivable species of disaster if the country should reject it. Not onr of those predictions, by the way, has been fulfilled. If he should be In serious promi nence four years hence, which we doubt, it Is safe to guess that he will then have ready for verbal paramount ing some new conceit equally as vis ionary and unpractlpal, for ho is built that way. -t Among the things Bryan failed to say was that ho would decllno the electoial votes of the southern states which propose to govern the negro without the consent of the governed. College Prices Too High. THE IDEA accredited to Dr. Harper, president of Chi cago university, that tho cos,t of living among college btudents hi too high and that it could be materially reduced If the business nklll of the university managers were applied to the problem seriously Is not new but it Is true. Dr. Harper names $300 a year as a modernte price for a university education, all necessary ex penses Included; but In these days of practical economies even this figure Is genet ous. There are a number of -good schools In the country, ranking, of course, be low the grade of our higher colleges yet giving practical Instruction in both the common and advanced blanches, and doing this without the aid of en dowment funds, which guarantee to supply every esssentlal save clothing for less than half the sum mentioned - by. Di, Harper. Less than B0 miles r east of pr. Harper's university is a school operated wholly as a business enterprise yet covering In its currl "culum every theme of study Included Z in the curriculum of Chicago unlver ' slty and having in attendance more than 2000 pupils, whoso annual ex penses average considerably less thon $200, At this school good food, well cooked ind plentiful, costs only $1 a week and room tent is as low as 30 cents a week. Even at these prices the management makes a slight profit and the fact that thousands are regu i. lryly availing themselves of the low , prices demonstrates tho existence of a wldespiead need of cheaper education. al facilities. Our colleges have not yet touched the democratic level. They are more or less nrlstderatlc. a condition Inevit able when we consider that only the woll to do or jlcl( can afford the aver .mjft.oxpcnses of an education at them. 'i'i$it usefulness will increase with each reduction in tho unnecessary costs. Of course the South African and ori ental Issues are the most available for Democratic apellblnderH on the stump, Tho averagu listener who knows by ixpeience nd observation that tho silver agitation is a humbug Is not always prepared to analyse wild state ments inai raarardlnc conditions In the far cast. Little may bo expected from liryanlsm's solicitors, therefore, aside from echoes of tho "paramount issue." Candidate Tow no's formal sacrifice of iiomcthlng that did not glvo prom ise of coming his way has been de clared by his fellow-fuslonlsts to havo been a political blunder. Mr. Towmj bids fair to surfer experiences as vex atious as those of the old man of the fable who killed his donkey trying to please everybody. The Latest Scarecrow. IN THEIIt SEAUCH for something to eiltlclze, the assailants of the McKlnley administration have dug up tho provisional Alaskan boundary line agreed upon Oct. 20, 1893, and duly announced ut that tlmo by tho state derailment', in detail, with official explanatory maps. The whole matter was then put before the country for Its consideration and hard ly an objecting, voice was raised until a few days ngo, when It occurred to the Democratic politicians that here was n chanco to make a new lot of campaign thunder. They have been Joined In their outcry by the New York Sun and one or two other Journals fond of twisting the British llon'e tall. While there had for years been con troversy touching the exact delimita tion of our Alaskan territory, more es pecially In the thin strip of land pro jecting southeastward from the main body of Alaska alongside tho western most part of British Columbia, It was not until the discovery of gold In the Klondike legion that Canada pressed the claim to seaport pilvlleges, and raised n const-ruction of the otlglnal Russian treaty which Impressed Americans as having no merit what ever. In tho mlil-st of nn effort to set tle by negotiation n number of long standing and troublesome disputes with the dominion, Canada made this claim to tidewater privileges a slna qua non of fuither negotiation. The result was that the joint high commis sion which had been endeavoring to adjust these various differences dis persed, the whole question went over and there was on both sides an Irrit able feeling needing little provocation to burst forth into war. We had one line; Canada claimed another; the two overlapped, and in the territory in dispute were miners who did not know whose flag they were under or what laws to look to. A clash of authority was possible at any minute and it might precipitate a frightful war. In this emergency the American state department and the British foreign olllce drew up a mo dus vlvendl or temporary agreement, providing for a provisional line to be observed by both disputants, without waiving tho lights of either, until a final adjustment should lay down a permanent boundary. According to this provisional line, Canada gets no seaport, which she wanted, and gets no concession of title to any part of the territory involved; nlnoteen-twen-tleths of all the area of conflict is re tained within the American provis ional limits and the other twentieth is not surrendered, but we havo agreed, pending the final settlement, and In the interest of peace, not to declare war on Canada or to send troops to eject her tax-collectors or mining officials from that portion of the country. If tho final verdict puts Canada over the fence and out, she must pay back the amounts illegally collected. This Is the true and whole story of the great crime and misdemeanor of the "pro-English," "anglomantac," etc., John Hay, whoso mastery of the intricate subtleties as well as the broad principles of diplomacy Is un surpassed among the Americans of this generation. Here, by the way, Is Mr. Hay's record. It is good reading for young men: Rom at SUem, Ind., sixty-two years ago. Educated common school, Warsaw, 111. Prepared for college at fcpriiigfleld, 111., academy. Graduated Drown (ProUdence, It. I.) JSj3. Admitted to Illinois lnr. Prints sccretarv of President Lincoln. Ilri-et colonel United States oluntecrs. Assistant adjutant general. Secretary of ligation, Paris, Madrid and Vienm. Cluigo d' Affaires Vienna. Married Mls Mono of Cleiehnd, Ohio, 1871. First assistant h rotary of state lt79 SI, President International sanitary roufcrence. Ambassador to St. James fD7-lS9;j. Secretary of state einee ls9j. Between times, Journalist, poet, lltt-rateur and prince among courteous, kindly and cultured gen tleman. We regard Canada's clolm ns auda cious and untenable. It should be re sisted to the last. But If, Instead of ptoceedlng to a settlement In a spirit of conciliation, Mr. Hay had blustered and threatened nnd played the bully generally, do you suppose for a minute that It would have made him Immune from Democratic criticism? Not a bit of It. The assailants of Hay aro in pursuit of office. They cannot get It without putting the McKlnley admin istration out. Hence they will take on any Issue tho sldo opposed to the administration's side nnd yell like pirates in tho hope of fooling the peo ple. We don't think they will succeed. Uncle Sam may be busy In other directions, but we wouldn't advise the sultan of Turkey to bank too heavily on that as a leason for refusing to settle his little account. As the census returns come In the cities that cannot show an Increase of at least 33 1-3 per cent, are not ex pected to do much crowing. Considering how badly he mls-pro-phecled four years ago, we don't blame Bryan for letting up on free silver. Webster Davis has finally consented to orato for Bryan. And Btlll the coun try remains calm. Adlal's scoring of tho trusts will ho duly appreciated by Tammany's lco men. POSSIBILITY OF MISTAKE. Seenes Home. Timet A few weeks ago. Young KnglUh lady wandering near the Colos seum, To her draws near a group of American BlrK Says one o them to her, "Would jou lure the kindness to tell me," pointing with her parasol to a famous rih "wither that Is the Aich of TitmT My 'Baedeker' i. two years old." Punch. OMIine Studies of fltiman Nature Power ot Ittvnk. f) NR DAY. at the Kremlin, In Moscow, MlM llapgood, an American lady, was favored with an amusing manifestation of the all pre vailing Influence in Ituislati life of "official" rank. While looking at objects ot interest she no. tlced a large, handsomely bound hook, flanked hy pen and Ink, on a side table. As she opened the book an attendant pounced upon her. "Don't touch thatl" he tald, peremptorily. "Why not' If jou do not wish people to look at this collection of ancient documents i sup pose that Is what It Is yeu sluuld lock it up or label it 'Hands ofl'l" retorted tho annoyed lady. "It Isn't ancient documents and ou are not to toui.li It," he said, taking the book out of hir hands. "It Is stilUly reserved for the slg natntes of distinguished visitors crowned heaJs, royal princes, ambassadors and the like.'' "Then It does not Interest me In the least, and if you would label It to that effect no cm would care to disturb it," answered tho American wo man. Soon after she was Joined by one of the power ful officials of the Kremlin, who had made an appointment to show the American lady about. As she went from one object to another with the official the attendants homed respectfully In the rear, etldcntly Impressed with the friendly tone of the conversation When the round had bten made and the official had departed to his duties, the guardian of the autograph album in lted her to add her "Illustrious" name to the list. She refused; he entreated, and at last fairly dragged her to the table and 6lood guard over her while tho wrote her name. Youth's Com panion. Irish Anecdotes'. A POLICEMAN, stopping an Irish carter who had not got his name on his cart, examines the cart and says: "1 see you nanio'a 'ob lithcratcd'l" Pat Instantly replies; "You're a liar! Me name's O'Plahertyl" English cjcllst to a pretty Irish "colleen," In ii grallatlng tones; "Which Is the way to Sllgo, my dear!" Kitty rejoins In demure accents: "lly the load, yer honor." Irate landlady, pounding on the door of her slothful lodger's room: "It Is dead or allie je arc, Mister Maloney?" Maloney, from within: "Najther; I'm slapln'l" OentUman asks cab driver in Dublin: "What Is the shortest way to St. Patrick's? Car driver lajs his hand on the seat of the car, sajing: "That Is, jour honor." "Pat, can jou toll me what Is nn Irish 'bull'?" asked an inquiring tourist: "Well, H or honor seen four cows lying down In a field an' one o' them standin' up, that 'ud be a bull I" retorts Pat triumphantly. A small boy standing beside a donkey and holding its head with both hands, while a party of militiamen arc passing. One of them calls out: "Say, sonny, what are you holding htm so tight for?" Small boy promptly: "I was nfeart when he seen Ids brother he'd go an' list." The Gentlewoman. Baden-Powell ns a Conjurer. gE.Vi:n.VTj BABES'-POWELL is an Inveterate Joker. Once he was a guest at an enter tanlmcnt at which a conjurer was to perform. Ir.p profesfslonal entertainer was late, so the host asked U. P. if he would try to entertain the company. "With pleasure," said the guest as he stepped upon the platform. He requested tho loon of a hat and was accommodated by a foppish, youn? subaltern, who inarched up with his biand new tile, evidently rather pleased to exhibit such a well got up specimen. D. P. re ceive 1 It with thanks, end then asked for a sharp penknife. The penknife was lent, and D. P., after making a few passes and holding the hat behind his baik, proceeded carefully first to cut off the rim of the hat and then to slash it up and down and round and roiml unmercifully, the victim smiling all the time. D. P. took such a long time over the Job, that just as he haj finished, the pioper conjuro., who had missed Ids train, appeared on the stage. B. P made a profound bow and informeil the audience that the professor would now "rcstoie the hat unin jured to Its owner for he couldn't." The face of the voung nun who lent his bell-topper was a study, but B. P. sent him a new hat next day. Perhaps the Typo Meant It. T HE MOST appropriate error that I ever 6aw," remarked Will Zlegler a lew dajs ago, "was one that came unde. my observation when I wai out in Colorado. It happened at Colorado Springs when the mining excitement there was at Its height Every man, woman and child in the town owned stock in come mine, and only about one-half of 1 per cent realized anything on their investments. Ono day the news was circulated about town that a man high up In mining circles a stock manipulator and a mine owner had died suddenly of heart discos. A local paper held the press to get in an account of the death, and the editor WTOtc a double-colucvi headline which began, 'Death Loves a Shlni"T Mark.' The paper came out in about half an hour, but the horror stricken readers were treated to a headline like this: 'Death Loves a Mining Shark.' It wa3 a simpl: case of transposition In the composing-room of that paper, but It liked to wreck the plant. And It novel" was altogether clear tint the composi tor who set It up hadn't made the miitakc on purpose. He had been dabbling in mining stock a little himself." Cincinnati Enquirei. Captain's Auburn-Haired Girl. ((ITJ HEV 1 was a youth I always admired red " haired girls," said Charles Robertson, an ex-lake captain. "Blondes and brunettes," he continued, "weren't In it with the aubuin. haired lasses. One day, however, I changed my mind, and this Is how It happened. A party of us went fishing below Bay City, Among the party was a redheaded girl who was a couslc to my host. We anchored to a boom log and were having a jolly time when along came the stein wheel Bteamer White Mar. The wake waves upset us and down we went. I'll never forget my Ideal wlen she came to lha surface. Those lovely bangs and red hair were plastered on her fate like paper on the wall, and my ideal came to naught. Indigo blue suits were then tli stjle, and I had one on. You should have seen the color of tho water when I came up It w is a case of mutual dislike. The girl ever after had no use for blue and I had no use tor red." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Moody's Revenge. Jinn. Is a story that Mr. Moody told himself self lavt summer; "I fjund mvhil' in Chicago a few vears ago getting jealous ut a prominent clergyman. lie was saving harth thlnrfs about me. I found that 1 was feeling harshly toward him. I went to him and told him that I wanted him to take charge n! a prominent meeting Hhe said he'd tome. Thru I took pains to see that he should have a tremendously large auJlence. He preached a fine sermon, He came to me and said kind words. Since then we have teen great friends. Don't ever let Jealousy get control of jou." New England Magazine. IRRELEVANT PLATITUDES. From the Bochester Democrat and Chronicle. "The anry is the impersonation of (one. It does not deliberate, it executts: it doc, not rea son, it shoots. Militarism is the very antltlic-) sl of democracy. In any army the comman der orders, the soldier obes; in a republic man date? Issue from the sovereign people, and the public servant gives herd. Can any one doubt the demoralizing results which follow the use of force, even when tho foree If justlfid by ne cessity? We cannot afford to weaken the gov irimnt's reliance upon the reople by cultivat ing the Idea that all the work of war must be done by professional soldiers." This is what William J. Bryan, now seeking the ottlce nf coin-mandcr-ln-(hle( of the army nnd navy ol tho United States, has to say to the people by way of Informing them as Xo his fitness for that po sition and his prolabjo conduct in oillie. No utterance of Mr. Brian's more effectually dls plaa him as an Impractical doctrinaire, deal ing solely in platitudinous generalities, unable to practically consider a practical qumtlon, and consplcuotsly unfitted by temperament and tialnlng for the responsible executive ofbee for which he has put In his application, Asked the plain practical question "ihould or shovld not, In jour view, (he United States bo provided with a icsular military and naval ej tahlislmienl sufFcl'iit for Its nerds?'1 for that ls what the so-called "militarism Issue" really amounts to, Mr. Brjan answers It by talking copy book. II lie had said "Honesty If the best polh'y. Every man's house U his castle. The voice oi the people Is the voice of Ood. A bird In the hand Is worth tno In the bush," etc., his answer would have been just as pertinent and Just as valuable. Admit the general truth ot every one of the quoted extracts from the 'Tro. veiblal Philosophy" of the woithy successor of Martin Karquhar Turper who wants to be presi dent of the United States, and how much nearrr are you to a sensible, Intelligent answer to the plain, practical question put to him? o There Is but one of tho quoted sentences that Is worth consideration. That Is the last, In which Mr. Bryan any be supposed to hive set forth his conclusion from the considerations he had stated, though what tin considerations and conclusions have to do with each other it Is lm possible to guess. "We cannot afford to weaken the government's reliance upon the people by cultivating the leleu that all the work of war must be done by professional soldiers." If Mr, Diyan were the ruter of samo medieval Italian state considering the propriety of hiring some wandering band ot soldiers of fortune to act as the state's meicenary army, we could see a tertaln amount of pertinence and wisdom In this aphorism. Under the actual circumstances it Is utterly irrelevant and senseless. What Is the "government" of which Mr. Bryan permits him self to speak as something apart from the people? Ls It not the people? Who are these "professional soldiers?" Arc they not also "tho people," citizens of the United Elates, quite as deeply and at least as Intelligently de voted as Mr. Bryan himself to the maintenance of republican Institutions and the liberties of the people? "In the army the commander or ders ,the soldier obeys." Who ls to be the com mander whose orders these soldiers will obey? Will It not bo William J. Bryan, If Mr, Bryan's expectations are fulfilled? Does Mr. Brvan dls. trust his own ambitions? Is he afraid that he will order the army to destroy the liberties of tho people? Is he under the impression that he Is more fit to bo trusted with this command than any other reputable American citizen? "In a republic mandates Issue from the sovereign people, and tho public servant gives heed." Whence come the mandatea Issued to the army of the United States by that public servant, its commander-ln chief, except from the aovereign people? How (an the government's (that la the people's) reliance upon the people (that is Itself) be weakened by cultivating the Idea that all the work of war must be done by profes sional soldiers (that is, by those of the people who are best fitted to do the work of war)? Jf Mr. Bryan had raid "We cannot afford to weaken tho government's reliance upon the people by cultivating the Idea that all the work of the bench and bar must bo done by professional lawyers," would not that remark have been exactly as sensible as the remark ac tually made? o What does Mr. Brjan propose to do. If he becomes commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, with the army and navy of the United States? That Is a question the people would very greatly like to have Mr. Bryan answer before considering his appli cation for tho position.

This Educational Contest will be of unusual mag nitude and will be carried out in strict accordance with the rules of fairness and justice. The Tribune aims to largely increase its circulation during the next few months.

We are going to give the scholarships and other special re wards to the ten persons who will be most successful and attain the highest number of points in our Educational Contest.

In addition to the ten special rewards, and in order to com pensate those who may enter upon this work and not be success ful in obtaining one of these, The Tribune will give to every one who succeeds in obtaining subscribers under the terms of this contest ten (io) per cent, of all the money from subscrip tions they may succeed in winning for it The Tribune wishes to emphasize the fact that this is in no sense a gift enterprise or a scheme at the expense of outsiders.
