In fact, it may be said to be the most difficult question with which the peace commission will have todeal. There is reason to believe that could it be settled satisfactorily to Spain she would be willing to even give up all claims to the Philippines. It will be a terrible burden for Spain to have to bear, in addition to her own ac- knowledged debt, that which she has always credited to Cuba, but it would be infinitely worse for the people of the island to have to assume the latter. The great hope of the Spaniards has been that the United States would either voluntarily or upon European compulsion assume responsibility for | the debt or a large portion of it. The fact that thig- hope is vain has been made c to the Spanish commission- ersand in their consternation they have been compelled to seek delay in order to counsel and receive tions from their government as to their | future action. It is at this juncture thatthe wisdom of President McKinley in refusing | recognition to the Cuban insurgent gov- | ; ) : | ernment last spring becomes most man- propriate large sums of the public mon- ifest. Had such recognition been ac- | corded as was voted by the Senate, but | | refused by the llouse in accord with the President country would not to-day be in the strong position it now occupies regard- ing irresponsibility for the Cuban debt, Thanks to President McKinley’s counsel and firm attitude last spring, the United States is now able to ap- proach the decision of this momentous question with untrammeled hands and to assume such a position upon it as its | representatives may deem best for the interests of the Nation. How Wages Grow. Pittsburg Times. A bulletif from the Department of Labor at Washington is authority for the pleasing information that in the | past quarter of a century the income at the command of the wage earner has | materially increased, not alone in the abstract, but particularly when com- | pared with the purchasing power of | A careful inquiry into | what is earned. the wages paid in the United States, the inquiry covering the important points all over the country, including | each year and a large variety of occu- least 10 per cent. The inquiry was not permitted to stop at the disclosure of the comparative wages earned during the different years in the various sec- tions of the country, but in Massachu- setts was carried into the cost of food and supplies of such kinds as are re- quired by the typical family. It was found that in buying his supplies the wage earner enjoys more of an advant- age over his companion of 1870 than in the matter of earnings. There has been since 1870 a decline in the price of everything that ordinarily comes in- to the house, except, perhaps,cornmeal and a few such unimportant things as are not factors in the weekly expendi- | tures. Sugar, starch, lard, cotton cloths, flour and soap, all of them staple ar- | declined nearly. or alto- | ticles, have gether 50 per cent. since 1870. Rice, beans, butter, meat, milk and other things as essential have declined from 20 to 35 per cent. Massachusetts is not What is true of one sec- for prices are not particularly differ- ent.

What Stamps the Gentleman. reese ma “In all questions of manners a young: man should always remember that, while politeness is a good trait to ac- quire, courtesy is infinitely better,” writes Edward Bok in the Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘Politeness is manners, but courtesy heart. Mingling in good society can give us that veneer which the world calls a polish of manners, and true politeness is not to be made little. of nor scoffed. at. Politeness is a fine. art, but is an art pure and simple even. at its best. Infinitely better is the cul-. | tivation of that courtesy of refinement which enters into the feelings of others. "and holds them sacred. lt idle to, say that courtesy is a relic of old fash- ioned days and is no longer looked for.. It is as much the current coin of good society as it ever was. More than any other element or graeg. inoour lives it is instantly felt and récognized and has an unfailing influence: It calls for re-. spect as nothing else does. Courtesy of manner and courtesy of speech are: the gifts a young man. should culti-. vate.” is is A Pastor Resigas.. One- day last week Elder William, Muolendore, who-has heen pastor of the. Disciple church at Somerset for a num-- ber of years, tendered his resignation. It has been. acaepted by the official ! board of the chureh, not because: they are willing to pant with Elder Mullen-- dore, but because it was-his wish that the resignation he accepted.
