Much depends now upon the frame of mind4n which the transfer of authority leaves the leaders among the Filipinos. They have good reason, according to their light and traditions and experiences, to be suspicious of the United States. While they were at war with Spain to secure their in- | dependence a new power of which they had heard, at best, but vaguely, appeared and assumed a dominant position. They have not read American history sufficiently to krow that this new power is humane, founded upon the principle of human lib- erty, that the very war in which it strikes this blow close to them is based upon a de- sire to rid Spain's Cuban subjects of their yoke. The few intelligent leaders | may know these facts, but thelr followers can- not know them. It is not wonderful, there- fore, that there has been difficulty in the process of persuading them to accept the control of the United States calmly, trust- fully, peacefully. That they have with- drawn from their hostile attitude is grati- fying, in view of all the facts and circum- stances. The announcement comes, too, at a timely season, when the question of the mexation of the islands and their ulti- mate disposition or government is promi- nently under discussion. —— #02 Russia’s Snub to Tai An. Evidence of Russia’s domination in China continues to accumulate. The latest addi- tion to the western information on the sub- Ject is in the form of a dispatch which tes that M. de Giers, the newly appoint- minister from Russia to Pekin, refused upon his arrival to present his credentials to the empress dowager, but insisted upon handing them in person to the emperor. His demand was complied with, of course, ja was enabled to demon- strate that she is so far in the ascendancy in China that she can ignore the palace rules which have of late taken the place of law and custom. The empress dowager is generally regarded as a creature of the St. Petersburg authority, although a woman of strongly independent tendencies. She doubtless realizes that there is no such thing today for her as complete independ- ence, and that her hold on the ruling power in China depends upon Russia's favor. It has developed to be Russia's policy to per- mit China to retrograde, and it is currently believed that the isolation of the emperor and the checking of the reforms which he sought to institute were instigated if not actually required by the government at St. Petersburg. It is assured, at all events, that Russia has profited by the reactionary movement at Pekin, whether she suggested it or not, and her influence has dominated since the war with Japan. If now Russia ptefers to snub the empress dowager by in- sisting upon a direct audience with the prisoner emperor it is plain that the St. Petersburg authorities do not care to per- mit Tsi An to obtain too exalted a notion of her power and influence. The game which is being played at Pekin is absorb- ingly interesting to the world, but unfor- tunately it is difficult to secure more than the barest suggestions of the true happen- ings. Rumors are frequent and often start- ling, but th cannot be altogether relied upon for accuracy. The news sources seem to be carefully rded and for diplomatic reasons the interested governments appear to be desirous of cornering all information, to be meted out as occasion may demand In the form of speeches or semi-official inter- views at the European capitals. —— wee — Y.

President Woodward and Secre- tary Sleman are noted for their ability to infuse life into projects which bear upon the community's religious life.

Stead, the well- known English busybody, the following is the czar’s peace scheme, in his majesty’s awn words: ‘Suppose that two nations were on the brink of war. What I would like is that they should proceed as in a duel. When two men are on the point of coming to plows, before anything else, they discuss the importance of the offense, the condi- s of the fight, and each man chooses his onds. Sometimes these seconds appeal an arbiter. Very well; it would be the same for the powers. For instance, take the Fashoda affair now just settled.” Eng- ind would h. tken as second the United 5.

He would have given casting vote. Perhaps the verdict would not always be accepted; perhaps in spite of all efforts war might ensue. But, in any case, while the seconds were discussing the affair a certain period of time would have elapsed, and the two parties in the dis- pute, calculating on the consequences of hostilities, would finally lean toward peace rather than war.” ———- - +02 -—__ Mayor Harrison's denial of his reported intention to let the people lynch aldermen without hindrance does not seem to have checked the public determination to stop the boodling. —____ +e —____ It is no wonder that the price of alder- manic votes in Chicago runs as high as $150,000 apiece if the vote carries with it a risk of lynching. able?” asked the young woman. “By no means,’’ answered the man who poses as a severe critic. ‘I only wish some of our modern writers would do more of it.” The Philippine Insurgent. “ll borrow money; ‘tas my due, Right prudently I'll be, A patriot with my I. 0.

From the Butte City Inter Mountain. It is untversally conceded that the after- noon paper has a field peculiarly its own in the dissemination of news. As a rule the morning paper is hastily read before the average man is compelled to hasten to the duties of a busy day, while the evening paper is the fireside companion—the friend of the home circle. This makes the evening paper more valuable as an advertising me- dium. It is read at leisure and its contents are thoroughly digested in the quiet of the home, or after the rush of the day is over, and the mind {fs in a receptive mood. Ad- vertisers cannot fail to note the advantage of reaching the reader in the quiet of the home rather than lay their statements be- fore him while hastily swallowing his morn- ing coffee. ——___ + +e —_- Our Honest Army Officers. From the New York World. The President is anxious to secure “an ideal civil service” in our other conquered provinces. To that end he plans to have no civil service at all, but a military service. In the same way, when Indian affairs have gone to the bad with us and rascals have been caught plundering the nation’s wards, the ready remedy has always been found in putting army officers in the places of civilians. Wherever the need is imperative for honesty and scrupulous uprightness the first thought is to put the men of Annapolis or West Point in control. Why? How is it that we can depend implicitly upon the honor of these men, as we cannot upon that of any other class of public servants? oe A Lt ry Precedent, From the Boston Herald.
