We. will be in" luck if some other Fili pino chief does not take it into his head to continue the war an endless guer rilla war for the - Filipinos may con clude that Aguinaldo issued his pro mi nei a in on to under duress, and fail to be persuaded thereby. Should they ac cept, his advice iu good faith we will have a large expense account to meet annually in order that a few jobbers may grow rich. That is the best view of the situation.

Mr. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, a most estimable gentleman, can't un derstand why John Bull should act in this unseemly .manner and has asked Colonel John Hay, secretary of state, to ask Mr: Joseph H.

Ton UlnrninH." r. Press dispatches inform us that our pro-British cabinet at Washington has a bad case of mulligrubs "because . a poor benighted South African Boer went into court in New Orleans and tried to break up the British purchase of American mules,, notoriously to" be used in subduing the heroic little re publics. Our Washington cabinet law yers, are rattier of the opinion xnai bh action to enforce neutrality laws is an nriministrativo function and that the noor benisrhted Boer aforesaid was very naughty to invade those laws, but here is the rub: If it is an adminis trative prerogative, why hasn't the, ad ministration asserted it? "Why, on. why?" President McKinley was a sol dier and presumably knows the value of a mule in wartime," even-lf his cab inet does not. ' A more flagrant vioia-. tion of neutrality, laws was never wit nessed on eartn, yet we aqmiujBirn tion" will not enforce them and will not let anvbody else do it. We are in a lovely predicament, to be sure! That nnnr hpniehted Boer ougnt to re yank ed up and tried for treason against tha United States because he is interfering rith John Bull's plans, for ne musi - taught that Mr. Bull has carte blanche to do as he pleases nere. : - f - Th pnhinet lawyers are not cock sure that the law confining the initia- tiv0 in neutrality enforcement proceeu lngs is as they desire it; consequently General Knox has been nnoStoi1 to investigate and report. If be finds thafthings are not as they de will be asked to so amend the law that nobody but the aa- Tbe impreadoa conveyed to the public mind Indeed is that -the gentlemen of the cabinet rather resent, as impertinent interference tbe attempt of an individual to challenge through' the courts what be regards aa an injustice or a cruelty even tbougb the attempt contemplate nothing more than a atateawnt ot the lav. They are represent ed as Holding- the opinion that private citizens hsve no right to meddle in such matters and as going so far at to aay tfiat it such a right exists they Trill ask congress to extinguish it by; legis lation. - . - We say that thoughtful people will be painfully Impressed by this disclosure. Public "sentiment has already, been sufficiently offended by pur gov ernment's singular complaisance toward .England during' the past three yeara. In that . time we have seen, many strange and startling' things. We have seen a large area ot United States terri tory handed over-to England under the plea bt creating -a "temporary" modus vi vendi. We have seen England arrest our commerce -in foodstuffs with the Portuguese port ot Lourenco' Marques, while simultaneously she established purchasing stations ia various parts ot this country snd : a shipping depot at New Orleans for the openly avowed purpose of furnishing ber armies in South Africa with horses and mules, with tbe only wsr material that - could, make England's sQocess against the Boers even remotely possible. Our government permitted the suppression ot the United States trade with Delagoa Bay because its continuance might help the Boers. Our gov-' -erament winked st tbe exportation of wsr mate rial to South Africa because that was' absolutely indispensable to England's war upon the South African republics. - Yea, We have seen all this, to ssy nothing- ot the shocking episode of tbe Bay-. Pauncefote treaty, bow happily closed by the ac tion ot a patriotic senate, and it has grieved and shamed every- true American heart. - Does the ad ministration propose, to afflict, to offend, us any further ia this direction t - . . It such b the idea ot the cabinet, we congrat ulate them upon the brilliant success which will infallibly crown their effort. Only one construc tion will or can be put upon a suppression by government contrivance ot the legal: proceedings at New Orleans. The country will conclude, and in the light of past events will be justified in concluding-, that the administration does not want the legality ot the shipments investigated, but prefers to countenance them in England's be half, -whether they be. warranted or forbidden. ;-. ;. . c.-r. . , Tennyson says: - - In the spring a fuller crimson comes upon the V robin's breast; -.

The Philippine war Is over. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Nabant says so, and that settles it, for Henry Cabot Is omniscient, so he thinks. True that Otis by the way, what has become of him? said so. According to Otis,-the PhiliDOine war ended every full and change of the moon. MacArthur end ed It several times so did the secretary of war. Just before i the election but somehow,; though frequently ended by those : illustrious warriors. It always broke out again next day worse than ever. -But tienry tjaooi nas enueu u for good and all. True, he has never been closer to tne Philippines than Na bant, but then he knows, don t you know. Now, if the sage Henry Cabot, having ended the war, would put an end , to American officers over there stealing 'from Uncle Sam be would be bailed not only as a modern Solomon, but as a public benefactor. Perhaps Henry Cabot thinks that wouia De a Jarger and harder Job than endjng the war, and ptrhapg H. C: is correct. Bad Case of MalUsrrabs. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is suf fering from what seems to be an incur- in congress. For example, Instead of dividing a state into separate districts, divide it Into blocks of three dtrtrlct each, and then give "each" voter three votes, permitting him to vote three times for one man or once for each of three men or twice for one man and once for another or one and a half times for each of two men. That plan or something similar would Insure rep resentation to tbe minority. Any party will gerrymander so long as It Is pos sible, just as Tom L. Johnson declared on the floor of the beuse that he was a monopolist and would continue to be one so long as the law permitted mo nopolies to exist. Gerrymanders and monopolies will never cease until the law renders them impossible. It is given out in tbe public prints that Jerry Simpson, yclept "Tha Saj of Medicine Lodge," -has' realised ' a large stake In tbe cattle business, a. fact on which he is to be most heartily con gratulated, and that he Is going to re turn to congress, a fact on which the country Is to be congratulated, for few men of this generation. If any. are bet ter equipped for service in that large and tumultuous body than is Jerry Simpson. What district Jerry proposes I o. "bootlegging' to represent is not known to the writer at this time, for the newspapers have given it out that he had abandoned tha big Seventh, now represented by Hon. Chester L Long, and bad moved to tha Kansas City (Kan.) district, .If-, ma, be that Jerry still holds his .residence" at Medicine Lodge notwithstanding ha does business at K. C-. K. A rather strange coincidence happened at Wich ita recently when and where Hon. James D. Richardson - of Tennessee, Along In the seventies the late Judge Arnold Krckcl was holding court at Jefferson City, relates an old timer, when there appeared before him two men charged and Indicted for a viola tion of the United States laws, one of whom will be called Brown. He was charged with cutting timber on the pnbllc domain. Brown was about 40 years old and had been reared on the border In Arkansas and never had any opportunities for schooling, hence was unable to read or write. la his ca veators to get a living be had cut tim ber suitable for making ax handles on United States lands, which led to his arrest and Imprisonment. The other man will be called Jones, for the real name of both men are not known In the memory of any one who witnessed the Incident. ' Jones was charged with and Indicted for having sold liquor to the Indians. Mr. Jones was a native of New York, a graduate of Union college and was educated for a lawyer. He possessed I at Henry Lee. a highly cultured mind, a good Latin 1st and thoroughly scholarly In all sorts of books. Not succeeding In his profession In his native state, more from lack of application than other wise, he left that country and plunged Into the great west and located no body knew where, but be drifted Into the lower strata' of society, and to ob tain the necessaries of life he resorted among the red men of the Indian Territory border. Ills arrest and Imprisonment followed. The two men were arraigned before Judge Krekel and tbe indictments read. They both pleaded guilty and threw themselves upon 'the mercy of the court. The court questioned both prisoners at length and drew from each his history. He recounted the wrongs they bad been guilty of against society. He did this In a kindly tone and manner, suggesting In a mild form BY T. B. KJNC. (I) .' Robert Edvard Lee tu born at Stratford, Vs., Jan. 19, tSoj.

In the kindness of my heart I have from time to time warned them that their jubilations were pre mature and that Lents, , like truth, would rise again, and they will bear me witness not cheerful witness, but witness nevertheless that I was a prophet.
