LODGE ON THE PHILIPPINES. Great Benefits to Accrue to the Country by the Acquisition of the Islands. The Philippines will entail upon us no naval expenses that we should not have in any event with a proper naval establishment. But the great bugbear is the army. Enormous sums have been stated here, all of them more guesswork, to represent the increased expense to which we have been put by the call for troops for the Philippines. Although these statements are exaggerated, there can be no question that our military expenditure during the past year has been increased by the Philippines, because there has been a war going on in those islands which demanded a large body of troops. But that war is practically over. There is no reason to doubt that in a comparatively short time peace and order will be restored, and when we are considering what burden the possession of the islands will impose upon us we must proceed upon the normal conditions of peace. If we should employ in the Philippines as many American troops, proportionately, as England employs in British India, we should keep there an army of 2500 to 3000 men, but the fact that the Philippines are composed of scattered islands would undoubtedly necessitate the employment of a larger body than this. Spain found less than 15,000 men sufficient, and I think it is safe to say that if Spain was able to manage with 15,000 men, the same number of American soldiers would be enough to do very well what Spain did very badly. As to the expense involved, it seems to be entirely forgotten that the islands themselves are abundantly able to pay for the establishment there, both civil and military. Under Spanish rule, with all its bad administration and profound corruption, the islands not only paid all their expenses but made at times at least a return to the Spanish treasury. With revenues well and honestly administered, and with wise and honest expenditure, the islands in our hands will not only easily pay all the expenses of the military establishment but of the civil government as well; and we could at the same time, by our superior honesty and efficiency, greatly lighten the burden of taxation. In a word, the Philippine islands, as we should govern and administer them, would be en nearly $20,000,000, the imports a little over $9,000,000. We took from the Philippines exports to the value of $4,308,000, next in amount to the exports to Great Britain, but the Philippine islands took from us imports to the value of only $94,000. There can be no doubt that the islands in our peaceful possession would take from us a very large proportion of their imports. Even as the islands are to day there is opportunity for a large absorption of products of the United States, but it must not be forgotten that the islands are entirely undeveloped. The people consume foreign imports at the rate of only a trifle more than $1 per capita. With the development of the islands and the increase of commerce and of business activity the consumption of foreign imports would rapidly advance, and of this increase we should reap the chief benefit. We shall also find great profit in the work of developing the islands. They require railroads everywhere. Those railroads would be planned by American engineers, the rails and the bridges would come from American mills, the locomotives and cars from American workshops. The same would hold true in regard to electric railways, electric lighting, telegraphs, telephones and steamships for the local business. Some indication of what we may fairly expect may be found in the following tables of our exports to, and our imports from, our new possessions and Cuba in 1899, as compared with 1897: UNITED STATES EXPORTS.

The increase in exports is almost wholly to Cuba. Porto Rico and Hawaii, amounting to $24,000-000 as against $1,000,000 increase to the Philippines. Yet the opportunity for export to the Philippines is larger than to all the rest put together. The fact of the insurrection in the former accounts of course for the difference, but the great increase of exports to the islands where peace reigns shows what may be expected of the Philippines when like conditions prevail there. An increase of $25,000,-000 in our exports to the islands may strike some lofty minds as "sordid." To me that increase means wages and employment to a large number of American farmers and workingmen,and longer wag.” Is it because we were territory to the south of us? Far it. It is because we know by instinct that it is a law of our being,a prince of our national life,the no need from over seas shall come into hemisphere to thwart our policy or cross our path.

With revenues well and honestly administered, and with wise and honest expenditure, the islands in our hands will not only easily pay all the expenses of the military establishment but of the civil government as well; and we could at the same time, by our superior honesty and efficiency, greatly lighten the burden of taxation. In a word, the Philippine islands, as we should govern and administer them, would be entirely self-supporting and would throw no burden of expense at all on the people of the United States after peace and order were once restored and business was again flowing in its normal channels. We are also told that the possession of these islands brings a great responsibility upon us. This, Mr. President, I freely admit. A great nation must have great responsibilities. It is one of the penalties of greatness. But the benefit of responsibilities goes hand in hand with the burdens they bring. The nation which seeks to escape from the burden also loses the benefit, and if it cows in the presence of a new task and shirks a new responsibility the period of its decline is approaching. That fatal hour may draw near on leaden feet, but weakness and timidity are sure signs that it is coming, be its progress swift or slow. These islands, I well know, impose upon us new and great responsibilities, and I do not doubt that we shall make mistakes in dealing with them before we reach complete success, but I firmly believe that they will ensure to our lasting benefit. The athlete does not win his race by sitting habitually in an armchair. The pioneer does not open up new regions to his fellowmen by staying in warm shelter behind the city walls. A cloistered virtue is but a poor virtue after all. Men who have done great things are those who have never shrunk from trial or adventure. If a man has the right qualities in him, responsibility sobers, strengthens and develops him. The same is true of nations. The nation which fearlessly meets its responsibilities rises to the task when the pressure is upon it. I believe that these new possessions and these new questions, this necessity for watching over the welfare of another people, will improve our civil service, raise the tone of public life and make broader and better all our politics and the subjects of political discussion. My faith in the American people is such that I have no misgiving as to their power to meet these responsibilities and to come out stronger and better for the test, doing full justice to others as well as to themselves. So much for the objections commonly made to our Philippine policy, which have as little foundation, in my opinion, as those which proceed on the theory that we are engaged in the perpetration of a great wrong. Let us now look at the other side, and there, I believe, we shall find arguments in favor of the retention of the Philippines as The increase in exports is almost wholly to Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, amounting to $24,000-000 as against $1,000,000 increase to the Philippines. Yet the opportunity for export to the Philippines is larger than to all the rest put together. The fact of the insurrection in the former accounts of course for the difference, but the great increase of exports to the islands where peace reigns shows what may be expected of the Philippines when like conditions prevail there. An increase of $25,000-000 in our exports to the islands may strike some lofty minds as "sordid." To me that increase means wages and employment to a large number of American farmers and working men, and I therefore regard it of the highest beneficence and importance, and as a striking justification of the policy which finds in our possession of these islands not only advantages to their inhabitants, but an expansion of trade of great profit and value to American labor and American industry. Thus is it demonstrated that we should gain in the Philippines themselves, under normal and peaceful conditions and with the growing prosperity which our control would bring, a market of very great value to the workingmen, the operatives and the farmers of the United States. Let me now try to show the importance and meaning of the Eastern question, with regard to which Dewey's victory has given us such a commanding position. The empire of China has a population of which we have no accurate statistics, but which is certainly over four hundred millions. The rate of consumption among the Chinese per capita is at present low, but even as it stands it affords a great market for foreign imports. The work of opening up the country by railroads and of developing its still untouched natural resources has begun and is advancing with giant strides. There is the greatest opportunity in China for trade expansion which exists anywhere in the world. I desire to call the attention of the Senate to the value of the Chinese trade to us now despite our neglect of it, and to the enormous advance which that trade has made in last four years, and more especially since the Spanish war carried our flag to the East, and turned the attention of our people more sharply to the unlimited opportunities for commerce which there exist. In our commerce with China during 1889-1899 there was a gain of $13,293,168. The increase occurred almost entirely in the export trade, which advanced from $2,791,128 in 1889 to $14,493,440 in 1899. Our imports for 1899, amounting to $18,619,268, were only slightly larger than in 1889, when a value of $17,028-412 was reported. The exports to China, like those to Japan, showed an exceptional growth in 1897, 1898 and 1899, the records for these years being $11,923,433, $9,962,894 and $14,493,440 respectively. Our trade with the port of Hongkong, although less important than that credited directly with China, was nearly doubled during 1898-1899, making a gain of $5,045,149. The exports for 1899 had a value of $7,732,525 as compared with only $3,686,384 for 1889. The imports were considerably smaller, and showed marked fluctuations. In 1880 they were valued at $1,480,266, but these figures were not equaled again until 1899, when a value of $2,479,274 was recorded. From these figures it will be seen that our exports to China and Hongkong in 1899 were over $22,000,000, and that the growth in the last three years has been phenomenal. The gain in exports to China, Hongkong and Japan in 1899 over 1899 was 256 per cent, and it almost all came in the last years of the decade. Money to Loan. In sums to suit.

The most So much for the objections commonly made to our Philippine policy, which have as little foundation in my opinion, as those which proceed on the theory that we are engaged in the perpetration of a great wrong. Let us now look at the other side, and there, I believe, we shall find arguments in favor of the retention of the Philippines as possessions of great value and a source of great profit to the people of the United States which cannot be overthrown. First, as to the islands themselves. They are over a hundred thousand square miles in extent, and are of the greatest richness and fertility. From these islands comes now the best hemp in the world, and there is no tropical product which can not be raised there in abundance. Their forests are untouched, of great extent, and with a variety of hard woods of almost unexamined value. Gold is found throughout all the islands, but not in large quantities, and there is no indication that the production of gold could ever reach a very great amount. There appears to be little or no silver. There are regions in Luzon containing great and valuable deposits of copper which have never been developed. But the chief mineral value of the islands is in their undeveloped coal beds, which are known to exist in certain parts and are believed to exist everywhere, and which are certainly very extensive and rich. The coal is said to be lignite, and, although 20 or 30 per cent inferior to our coals or to those of Cardiff, is practically as good as the Australian coal and better than that of Japan. Both of which are largely used in the East today. To a naval and commercial power the coal measures of the Philippines will be a source of great strength and of equal great value. It is sufficient for me to indicate these few elements of natural wealth in the islands which only await developments. A much more important point is to be found in the markets which they furnish. The total value of exports and imports for 1896 amounted in round numbers to $29,000,000, and this was below the average. The exports were IRRIGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA. Little has Been Done in a Systematic Way—Great Possibilities of the Country [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] A picturesque figure at the national capital for the past week, though in no way connected with politics, has been Col. Joab L. Meacher, who has just returned to the United States from South Africa, where he has been looking into the present possibilities of stock-raising. Col. Meacher is an adopted Westerner, being originally from the hills and rocks of Vermont, but he has for some years been connected with one of the large irrigation systems of Colorado. He is a big, raw-boned typical Ameri; can of the style which is recognized the world over as "Yankee." "Upon my arrival at Cape Town, this being my third visit," he said in talking of his trip, "I was treated with much good-fellowship, the residents vying with each other in an endeavor to show a feeling of friendship growing out of the conditions arising from our Spanish war. "Cape Town has in the last few years grown to be a large and prosperous city, thrifty and neat. The Parliament buildings would be a credit to any city. "The suburban villas, surrounded by gardens, rich in variety, and of luxurious growth, form a pleasant landscape. The colony is now largely engaged in stock-raising. While the lower coast regions having sufficient moisture, produce green crops in great abundance, the arid character of the vastly largest portion of the colony, renders it at present unfit for any purpose other than grazing. Nearly two-thirds of the surface of the cape consists of a barren plain. After the periodical rains this plain is covered with grass, but the summer heat soon changes its aspect. Sheets of shallow water termed vleis are formed in many places in the flat lands of the Interior by the rains, and these spots, during the dry season are covered with rich grasses; fawarding excellent grazing. The first act requisite for settlement is the construction of a dam or reservoir for the collection and saving of a water supply. As such dams have always been built by individuals the water saved is only sufficient to supply what is required for stock and domestic purposes.

Each of the 1100 Sunday schools is entitled to send five delegates besides their pastor or superintendent, and one delegate for each 50 members enrolled in their school above the first 50. All Protestant Sunday schools of the State are members of the association, and use the international lessons in their schools. These lessons are used by 17,500,000 persons each Sunday. The party of international representatives will visit the Northwestern States in their tour, which will consume six weeks' time. The general secretary of the California association, Earl S. Bingham of San Jose, is visiting the counties at the times of their county Sunday school institutes. Besides speaking of methods of Sunday school work he is arranging for large delegations to attend the State meeting. Much enthusiasm is shown by the members. The county presidents, who are the transportation managers, are planning for special cars and trains. Besides, there is a one and one-third round-trip rate from all parts of the State. Railroad certificates, provisional programs, delegates' credentials blanks, etc., can be secured by addressing the general secretary, Earl S. Bingham, San Jose, Cal.

The consequences of a diseased condition of the stomach and digestive and nutritive system are most disastrous to the whole body. One by one every organ may become involved. The misery is maddening. The most extreme cases of "stomach trouble" and the evils resulting from it have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the stomach, purifies the blood and builds up the body with sound healthy flesh. "I was taken with severe headache," writes Thomas A. Swarta, Box 105, Sub-Station C, Columbus, Ohio, then cramps in the stomach, and my food would not digest, then kidney and liver trouble, and my back got weak so I could scarcely get around. I just gave money to the doctors whenever I thought they would do me any good, but the more I doctored the worse I got until six years passed. I had become a poorly I could only walk in the house by the aid of chair, and I got so thin I had given up to die thinking that I could not be cured. Then I saw one of my neighbor boys and he said: "Take my advice and take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and make a new man out of yourself." The first bottle helped me so I thought I would get another, and after I had taken eight bottles in about six weeks I was weighed and found I had gained twenty-seven (27) pounds. I have done more hard work in the past eleven months than I did in two years before, and I am as stout and healthy to-day, I think, as I ever was." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure billiousness.

Sunday Schools State Meeting San Jose is taking more than usual interest in the preparations being made for the State convention of the Northern California Sunday Schools association that meets June 19th to 21st, owing to the great crowd that is expected to be present to greet the international general secretary, Marion Lawrence of Toledo, Ohio, and a party of five men who will accompany him as representatives of the international work. The party is sent to attend the convention at a cost of $2000, and the 91,000 mems these men keep the walks and promote scrupulously clean and the sword closely clipped and free from falling leaves and other litter. They also give proper attention to the various buildings and their immediate surroundings—New York Press. Applause and Criticism. It was after the piano recital, and the audience was still applauding. There were two English women, though, who did not clap their hands. But they commented in tones that were audible for some distance around thus: "The poor man! Will they make him play again?" "Isn't it awful the way the Americans applaud? It's so vulgar!" "Yes; it's the most vulgar thing they do." And the Americans took me weekly their lesson in manners—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Should not be surprised to have it take much hold upon the people in all sections of the country as it has in Southern California. It is winning victories everywhere it is introduced, and my prediction is that it will go on in its march of conquest until the little animal which has so many enthusiastic friends in our own sunny climate, will be known and enjoyed East and West, North and South. Until then the mails will no longer come laden with inquiries as they do now, for all will know it. The Belgian hare will be familiar to every schoolboy and schoolgirl. Our conviction, however, is that fanciers and foremost breeders will ever come to this market for their fancy specimens. It is hardly possible that so large a number of the most perfect animals will ever be gathered in any other section, and where conditions are so favorable for high breeding, as in Southern California. The stock, the very cream of the world is here, in the hands of capable and enthusiastic breeders, and, impelled by strong competition, our new-found friend will unquestionably be developed to the highest point of perfection. It is worthy of intelligent care, and I believe will richly compensate for any attention thus given it. There seems to be a bright future for the Belgian hare. By C. C.

His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and am now well and strong. I can't say too much in its praise."

Those who have crossed the Atlantic on vessels of the American line have probably noticed a class of young men whose duties seemed to place them between the officers and the crew. They are known as cadets, and their position is similar to that of midshipmen or cadets in the United States navy. They are in training to become officers of the line, and any of them, after two years' experience as a cadet, may, if he is able to pass the examination, receive a certificate entitling him to serve as fourth mate. From this position he expects to advance gradually in the service, and aspires to become the captain of a big liner. These cadets are graduates of one of the three training-ships established by the government to educate boys for the American merchant-marine service—the St. Mary's, stationed at New York city; the Enterprise, at Boston, and the Saratoga, at Philadelphia. The places which the cadets hold on the ocean steamers were created for them by the post subsidy bill passed a few years ago. The bill requires vessels which are subsidized by the government for carrying the mail to be officered by Americans, and to carry a cadet for each 1000 tons burden. Among the subsidized companies are the American, Clyde, Ward and Pacific Mail lines. Some of the boys who are graduated each year from the training-ships enter the army transport service as quartermasters. Others join sailing vessels for long cruises, wishing to become regular sea sailors. A large proportion of those who leave the senior class each year take service as cadets on the subsidized vessels. As a class, the graduates from the schoolships are desirable assistants to various lines. They are never less than 18 years old, and they range from that age to 22 years, for they must be between the ages of 16 and 20 when they begin the two-years' course on the training-ship. This course, during which they have studied the common school branches and special nautical subjects, and have made two summer Frances Willard's Empty Purse. It was characteristic of the late Frances Willard that she never had any money. Miss Gordon attended her finances, and it was found on the whole best to leave Miss Willard's purse empty, because if she started out in the morning with a full pocket-book she came back penniless in the evening. One night she told in her imitable way of having gone to Chicago and reached Rest Cottage again on the capital of a postage stamp. At the station she turned her pockets out, but not a bit of change was to be found. She had forgotten all about it. "What am I to do about it?" she asked the agent perplexedly. "Anna is out. I think, and I haven't a cent of money." "I'll give you a ticket, Miss Willard," said the clerk. "When I got into the bus I remembered again," she said, "and told the driver, 'I think I'll have to walk, for I haven't any money.'" "Oh, that's all right, Miss Willard," said the driver. And so all day, greatly to her amusement, she went on getting in debt to the railroads, cabmen and restaurants. —Chicago Inter Ocean. He Did; a Cut. In a rural community in one of the middle states dwelt a man who made a vow in 1859 that he would wear his hair and beard untrimmed until John C. Fremont should be elected president of the United States. He kept that vow for 40 years, at the end of which time he had nearly a half bushel of hair on his head and face. Then, coming to the conclusion, toward which his mind had been gradually working for a long time, that General Fremont's death in the interval had practically absolved him from his vow, he decided to have his hair cut and his beard shaved off clean. On his next visit to the county seat he went to a barber shop and was soon relieved of the hirsute burden he had carried for four decades. "How much?" he asked. "Have to charge you half a dollar for that job," said the barber, looking at the mass that lay on the floor. "Half a dollar!" he gasped. "Don't get anything for the hair?"—Youth's Companion.

As a class, the graduates from the schoolships are desirable assistants to the various lines. They are never less than 18 years old, and they range from that age to 22 years, for they must be between the ages of 16 and 20 when they begin the two-years' course on the training-ship. This course, during which they have studied the common school branches and special nautical subjects, with practical work, has fitted them for the profession they intend to enter. With few exceptions they are competent navigators when they leave the schoolship and enter upon their cadet duties. They have a thorough understanding of dead reckoning and how to find the latitude and longitude by the sun, moon, planets or stars. Besides, they have been taught the duties of seamen, and have learned how to manage a sailing vessel, to steer, to heave the lead, to handle the boats under oars and sails, the "rule of the road" and the other minor duties of a thorough sailor. The class which was graduated from the St. Mary's last October included 44 young men, all but four of whom immediately took places on vessels. On their last summer's cruise the members of this class navigated the ship most of the time, having been provided with sextants and the other necessary instruments by the commander. Upon assuming duty as a cadet the young man engages to do whatever is required of him—to take the lee wheel, carry messages for the captain, look after the embarking or disembarking of passengers or discharging of freight, and attend to any other duties. He may not have as much practice in actual navigation as he would like, but he will have opportunity to continue his studies on that subject and to learn from observation, so that when his two years' service as a cadet is ended he ought to be, and usually is, able to pass his examination qualifying him for the position of mate.—New York Tribune.

When Henry Irving Was Hissed, "I was hissed every night for a week when I was playing the provinces about 35 years ago," said Henry Irving to a writer in Alnlee's. "I was given an engagement as leading man in a very small theater, and before I made my bow to the audience I learned that the man whose place I had taken was very popular in the vicinity and that the people strongly disproved of the way in which the management had forced him to retire, so that when I made my appearance the audience showed their disapproval of the manager by strongly hissing the successor to their favorite, and they kept it up for a week. It was a very unhappy week for me." Started a Run. A very simple statement proved very fortunate to a savings institution in the rural district recently. An editor, in writing of the institution in his paper, said: "The president is a very tall man; the cashler is short."
