If we are not going to hold the Philip fines what is to become of them? Cer tainly Spain has ahown through a long onrse of years that she ia utterly incapa ble of maintaining a government worthy f a civilized nation. Spain's rale in (be colonies is a synonym for all that is imjast, harsh and cruel. She retards rather than promotes civiliation. This jtr was undertaken in the name of hu manity, for the uplifting of an oppressed end iguoraut people. Under such cir aOmsUuces to band the islands back to f p.iiu would be to repudiate the very jrinciple for which the war was inaugu rated. Instead of aiding a down-trodden peo fie we become allies of Spain in fixing Be of the woret system of government, M such it may be called, oa a helpless peo ple, as we could not withdraw until or der has been restored in the islands. We tto not believe that this government or the American people can or will coun tenance the fixing or continuance of Spanish rule in these islands. If Spain is not to be the dominant force in the Philippines and America withdraws, the islands there will be left ax a bene of contention for the nations of Europe, but such a step is out of the ques tion. Either the United States or Spain Kill dominate the islands even if they should be given an independent govern ment in name. r Eagastasajs Spain has bequeathed us a difficult problem in these islands. Noth ing is probably any truer. But difficult pa the problem is we believe that it can (0 settled in the joint interest of the United States and the Philippines. Spain has forfeited all claim to consider ation in fixing the government of the islands. It ia Lard to see bow this government ia going to let go of the islands. Spanish jirrjle is practically destroyed and life and tlberty must be protected. it An arraneement similar to the one Mngland has in Egypt may become neces wry. v If this country is to become a factor in .the commerce of the far east it will ruin I0j opK)i tunity if it does not become the etotuinont force at Manila. It is the gate way to an immense trade. The foreign trade of this port is at least (26,000,000 unually and will be the first step to a auueh larger trade. It would give us fee access to the trade of from seven te to ten millions of people for our surplus yroducts. We bave taken Manila and H1 have to hold it, if for no other rea son, simply because we cannot let go juad bold our place and "great honor. The time his come when we must take part in the affairs of the world. Tiu iron trade is taken as a faithful in dex of the prosperity of the country. The first half of 18t8 has aeon the largest pro duct ion and consumption of pig iron in the history of the United States. Th'a in the face of little railroad building means enormous demands in other lines. The United States, not only will con sume over 550 pounds to each inhabi tant, but will export a large quantity. The strides this country will take in the next few years can be guessed at by these straws. It reems that Consul Wlldman at Hong Kong is the husband of Senator Stewart's niece, a ml received his appoint ment just after the taiifff bill passed, Stewart being willing to recede from the position that something must be done for silver before the tariff" bill was passed if Wildman was appointed. Stewart evidently got his price. Tut regular army will never be. re duced to the old basis and probably not below 100,000 The new territory ac quired will necessitate an army of that size for the present, and the sentiment of the country will keep it up to that figure after the government has Wen fully es tablishec in our new territories. Probably never in history did a foreign foe get such a reception as Miles got in Porto Rico. He ia met every where by the American flag and bands playing American national airs. Tux victims of the sea water gold scheme are making a great fuss because they got swindled ; but the victims of the silver craze are not saying a word. Pendleton Tribune. Of a population is rapidly increasing these davs. It is reported that Dlanco left Havana and Augnstin Manila between two days. With such leaders what can you expect of the armv? Some Naval Lessons of the War. It is too soon yet to focus all the side lights which will have been shed on the problems of naval warfare by the out come of tho Spanish-American conflict The failure of the enemy's navy to jus tify many of the expectations which bad been formed of its effective fighting strength precludes some of the light which might have come from a great naval battle on the side of sea tactics and strategy. This probably would not have been much greater, however, in the case of armorclads than of wooden ships, fur the troad principles which won at Salarnis, Lepanto and Trafalgar will always bold good. Some things have been made clear. The apprehension felt over the power of the torpedo boat as a sea weapon has been greatly allayed. The battle which annihilated Cervera's fleet proved con clusively that a multiplicity of rapid firing guns, well served, is a pretty sure defense against such ajjghting factor. The torpedo boat is, like the cobra, dead ly in its stroke, but easily killed before reaching the striking distance. One mysterious terror has received a douche of cold sea water. Only by a onion of great skill and daring in the service of torpedo warfare and under most favora ble conditions, can it be raised to its Nth power. Again, the importance of increased speed in our battleships has been signally enforced. The Cristobal Colon would unquestionably have i caped had it not been for the Oregon, an unusually swift battleship, and the fast Brooklyn. All the foreign admiral ties are planning battleships with mini mum speed of from 17 to 18 knots, and yet our naval department fatuously lays out its new ships for a minimum 15 knot speed and rejects the chief engi neer's recommendation for the most im proved boilers and engines, because they will take up too much room. The need of a greater ratio of armored cruis ers with a very high speed has also been made clear as noonday. The great Nel son's cry was ever: Trigutes, more frigates I I have sail of the lino enough. " High powered, armored ships with their lighter heels and greater firing radius are likely to be quite as valuable an element in triumphant sea fighting as the slower liners with their maximum battery strength. Not fewer battleships, but more armored cruisers should be the shibboleth of coming naval estimates, if we crave a well balanced navy. The most notable lesson of all is the tremendous potency sheathed in the phrase, "The man behind the gun." More than ever now that the agency of attack involves the skillful command of the most complex, ingenious and nicely adjusted mechanism, do the discipline and intelligence of the purely human factor count The knowledge of our rnen and officers, trained by practice to the most prompt and efficient work, has excited the admiration of the world. Here we have had the biggest odds against the Spaniard. And in this ele ment ol preponderance we could proba bly challenge the world for a'matnh. POWHATAN PIPES. Mad from a lVcnllr Kind of Virginia flay auit Mala Swral by rira. The old const lug captain wit gtui.ig upon a crudely shaped red clay plpo which ho smoked at the cud of a long, nmny jointed reed stent, while tin filled the curs of tho observant Jersoyiuau with its praise. "If you wimt the sweetest plpo iu tho world," ho mild, "you must get olio if t luw. They nro the original row li;;tan pipe, made in lVwhutiiu county, Va., out of a peculiar blue clay(which is found there iu little uodulo and flu ished iu a iHOitliar way. "Tho Ktiiuluo rowhntnn pipe can uever bo found north of Uultlnioro, and it is easier to get ono iu Norfolk than in Baltimore. If you begin smoking one, you will discard your meerschaum end brier woods ami suu Uo nothing eli. When it gets strong, yon merely put it into tho tiro nud burn it rM again. The imitation Powhatan pipes would crack to pieces if you try to burn them sweet, but tho genuine can be thrust in safety right into the bright coals, although, of course, it is better to let them heat more gradually." Under tho stimulus of this praiso the ohservaut Jerseyiuun sent to a friend iu Norfolk for half a dozen of tho pipe. After a time ho received them, with a bill for 75 cents for the pipes and 3 for tho trouble of finding them, "If you had not told me that the pipes sold two for a quarter," his friend wrote, "I Blionld never lmvo got tho right kind for yon. I went to almost every tobnecouist in Norfolk hunting for them. Each oue showed mo a pipe which looked about the sumo as these, but was only 10 cents. Filially, ono day, after I had about given up the search, I hnppcned to mention it to a longshoreman. 'There is only ono shop in Norfolk,' ho wild, 'where yon can get the genuine Pow hatan pipe That is a littlo plaeo down along tho river front. ' Ho gave mo tho address, and tbero I found them." The observant Jersey man bns smoked tho Powhatan pipe many time since then, aud he still believes tho old cap tain's praise was warranted. On the caution label which came about each pipo it is said that tho peculiar quali ties of the geuuiuu pi?B are duo to the fact that they are finished by hand pol ishing instead of a ghuing, thus leav ing to tho cli'.y all of it uuturul porosi ty and absorbent qualities.

England no doubt loves us dearly, but the English authors have not yet discovered that fact in it entirety. Chirk Russell, Max PemN'rton and An thony Ho)o, to say nothing of Conan Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, will have it that all Americana are Yankees, al though they would resent tho charge that all Englishmen are cockneys. Another symptom of the drift i in relation to emigration from Great Brit ain. Statistic show that an enormous number of people come to this country from Great Britain, but tho novelists never heard of it Micawber and his interesting family went to Australia and got rich. So did every other emi grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless, like Martin Chuzzlewit and Murk Tup ley, they were sent to this country to point a moral and adorn a tain. All English writers rcsrmblo Dickens iu that respect. In their stories the emi grants ail go to Australia, Cuuado, Af ricaanywhere but tho United States. This trait conies nndcr tho head of "loyalty to the crown. " Tliny know per fectly well that the British emigrant, unless assisted by a British society, take himself and belongings to this country, and even if tho society kindly lands him in Canada he tikes tho first chance of skipping over the border. The only time ho goc to the "colonies" with cheerful alacrity is in the page of a British novel. Chicago Times-Herald. Swayed by a Day. An Impressive instanco of a play that influenced a human life comes from ono of the northern towns, whero a very striking play was being performed in which the disastrous consequences fol lowing on the love of two men for the same woman were realistically present ed. A young engineer who hod conceiv ed a violent affection for n girl who had resented his attentions in view of the fact that she loved another man, who phanced to be the engineer's bosom friend, witnessed this play one even ing, and it made a very deep impression on him, a it teemed almost to have been written to apply to his own un happy situation. Act by act tho tragic story was unfolded, jealousy of tho dis appointed .lover ending in crime and punishment, and whon at length the curtain fell the engineer had come to a decision. He went home, packed np a few necessaries and a week later set out for Australia, where, by a lucky stroke a year later, he mado a mighty fortune. He attributed all his success to the play in question, for hnd he never seen It he would never have gone away from England, and perhaps some awful occurrence might have arisen from his unrequited passion. London Standard. Why Prlnoeton Appealed to the ClsYelands "Shortly after the removal of tho Cleveland family to Princeton an un married lady, a close friend of Mrs. Cleveland, was visiting her, " write a close friend of the former mistress of the White House in The Lalies' Home Journal. "One day while tho two wo men were in the nursery with the three little Cleveland girls, the friend said jokingly to Mrs. Cleveland: " 'Mercy me, Francos, how are you ever going to get all your daughters married off? You see from me that mam ma oould not do it in New York.' "'Exactly,' replied Mrs. Cloveland.
