Tbe proclamation which the Philip pine commUsioners have addressed to the Filipino people is a noble Btate paper. It breathes a sririt of truth, sincerity,, magnanimity and firmness. Its statements of facts can not be challenged, and its logic is unanswerable. "And why these hostilities?" it asks. "What do the best Filipinos desire? Can it be more than the United States is ready to give? They are patriots and want liberty, it is said. The commission emphat ically asserts that the United States is not only willing but anxious to establish in the Philippine islands an enlightened system of government, under whbh the Philippine people may enjoy the largest measure of home rule and ample liberty conso nant with the supreme ends of government and compatible with those obligations which tbe United States has assumed toward the civil ized nations of the world." It may be said in reply that the Filipinos want theoretical independ ence, but that is mere dreaming, and would substitute the shadow for the substance of liberty. Theoretical in dependence and complete sovereign ty are by nature denied to the Filipino people. They lack the progress, the knowledge, the training and the conceptions which are the price of complete national sovereign ty. And they lack the power to maintain it. Under the benign protection of the United Slates there will come to the Philippines progress, education, enlightenment, protection in civil and property rights, home rule, freedom of conscience and religion, diminish ing burdens of taxation, and increas ing prosperity. Who can doubt it? Under the autocratic rule of Aguinaldo would come confusion, tyianny, appeal to foreign interven tion, and probably the partition of the islands between opposing powers. Who can doubt that? What crotchet lias entered the minds of men who go on insisting that injustice and tyranny stalk under the stars and stripes, and that the adventurous and barbaric banner of Aguinajdo is the Irue emblem of human liberty? Spokesman-Review. The advance in wages in cotton mills is merely a reaction of the im proved condition of the country. The prosperity which has been promised for so many years seems to have materialized at last. The advancement of wages in the cotton industry comes at a time when nearly all the industries of the country are responding to the larger employment of labor. The woolen industry seems practically alone, for the depression that has been dissipated in other industries still clings to this industry. Twould not be unreasonable to assume that the woolen industry can long remain an exception to other in dustries ; there are already indications which point to "a revival of trade in woolen goods. Still it may be some time before the industrv finds steady and increased employment which will permit of any increase in wages. Tue country, however, is headed toward a long period of prosperity, from which labor will benefit as much as, if not more than, capital. Story of a Slave. Te be bound hand and loot . for years by the chains of disease is the wotet form of slavery. Geo. D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless for five years that eha could tint tain over in ted alone. After using two bottles of Elec tric Bitter', ehe is wonderfully im proved and able to do her own work." This supreme remedy for female dis eases quickly 'cures nervousness, sleep leesness, melancholy, headache, back ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, ran down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents.
