THE PHILIPPINES.
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.

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. Now York

HAPPENS ONLY IN NOVELS.
British Emigration as Engllah Writer Be
It and a II Krally la.
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.
'But what better place oould there be
than a college town like Princeton, I'
should like to knowf "
