C Sun-day Morxixg, September 1C. "WILL IT PAY?" Since the war with the Filipinos began we have heard a great deal of talk about "benevolent assimilation" and other nauseating rot, when every one w.ith sense enough to keep out of the fire knew that beneyolent assimilation didn't figure in the busi ness at . all, and that all this talk was hypocrisy, pure and simple. To the eitent that honesty even to the extent of excessive bluntnesa is more respectable than dishonesty the fol lowing from Senator Carter, of Mon tana, is not only respectable but a commendable example for other statesmen, who have been playing the hypocritical role. He was dis cussing the war in the Philippines and among other things said: "This is a practical are. We are going to deal with this question on the basis of dollars and cents. If the American people believe that the Phil ippines are going to help us they will never let the islands go. If, on the other hand, they find that the Philip pines mean a constant drain and small return, you will find the verdict of the people to be against permanent retention. Neither religion nor sen timent will have much influence in determining the verdict The great question will be, Will it pay? If we can show the country that it will, as I think we can, the American flag will never come down from the Philip pines." In contrast with the thin Btuff that has been dished up to us in de fence of this war of ' 'criminal ag gression" this frank admission of the inspiration behind it is refresh ing. We have had the same thing from other sources when the com mercial advantages were Bet forth as reasons why we should hold on to the Philippines, bnt they were generally accompanied by more or less of the fradulent pretences of the benefit to be thus conferred upon the unsophistocated and be nighted denizens of town, hill and jungle of who had never experien ced any of the delights of living under such a paternal government. This Western Senator, who does not seem to have been so well schooled in the art of dissembling, throws that kind of chaff to the wind, and plainly blurts out that if we think it "will pay" we will hold on to the islands and if we find it will not we will turn them loose and let them take care of themselves. That's about the size of it; but on this showing what becomes of the "obligations" we had assumed when, with the aid of Aguinaldo and his adherents, we crushed Spanish power in Shose islands, which obligations were put forward as the justification for that -.0,000,000 deal, and the subsequent efforts to whip the Fili pinos into acknowledging our title their land? While we admire the truthful candor of this Western Senator and orthodox Republican, we must take exception to the scope of this utter ance when he es3aya to speak for the American whom do not believe in this war on the Filipinos, whether it "will pay" or not. They do not believe that anything will pay for a loss of con fidence in our national honesty and integrity and forfeiture of honor, which they hold above territorial and commercial gain. He may and does Bpeak for the expansion ele ment of the American people, but they are in the minority, and if our soldiers and our flag were out of those islands, with the experience of the past before them, there would not be one in five hundred of our people who would consent to such a war. Thousands of them acquiesce in it now not because they favor it, but feel that we have been dragged into it by the blun dering or criminality of those who had the direction of officers, and because they don't see any way out -of it but fighting out. This is the age of grab, we know, grab in Africa, grab in poor, de crepit old China, where every na tion that can is reaching out for a slice under some trumped-up pre tence; but the American people, as a whole, have not yet become so de praved and demoralized by the mer cenary spirit of grab as to be carried away by it. , They haven't all for gotten the teachings of the Fathers, nor lost sight of the principles upon which the Republic was founded. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is a Democratic Senator, and an expan sionist who believes in conquering and holding on to the Philippines. One of the reasons given by him in justification of this is that it will put the cotton of the South up one cent a pound. How it will do this isn't quite apparent, but he says it will, and that is the argument he uses to bring the cotlon planters over to the expansion side. Senator Carter say3 if it "will pay" the American people will favor hold ing the islands. Senator Morgan assumes that it will put the price of cotton up a cent a pound and there fore the Southern planters should favor war on those, people, should be willing to see thousands of our soldiers killed in battle or incapaci tated for life by disease and hun dreds of millions of dollars spent that they may get a cent a pound more for their cotton. Isn't this mercenariness run wild, or is it sim ply lack of ability to give a better reason for such stupendous rob bery? Senator Morgan's position is not as respectable a3 that of Sena tor Carter, for while Senator Car ter simply states what he takes to be a fact, on the assumption that the American people are after gain and know what they are doing, Senator Morgan assumes that the Southern planters do not know what they are doing in not favoring forcible expansion and therefore undertakes to enlighten them and seduce them by .holding out the prospects for gain if we succeed in wresting .their country from the Filipinos and holding on to it. Is there no such thing as morality or honesty in statesmanship? Is it respectable or honest statesmanship that endorses and encourages the robbery of the weak for the gain of the strong, when gain is the only feature in the game of aggression and blood? THE GOLD MINES AS A FACTOB. In discussing a few days ago the trouble between the British Govern ment, which is backing the "Out- landers," aud the Government of the Transvaal Republic, we remarked that while the gold mines were a fac tor in bringing on the trouble they might also become a factor in pre venting war. There are millions in volved in it, not only to the two Governments, but to the mines and other interests dependent directly or indirectly upon the mines. ' We also published an article from tho Philadelphia Record showing the output of these mines, and their es timated value. The following, which we clip from the New York Sun, shows how the mines are pay ing, and also the part they play as a factor in the contention, as admitted by Sir Alfred Milner and Mr. Lionel Phillips, herein quoted: "It is generally known that the wealth taken out of the Witwatersrand Mines ia the Transvaal is enormous, but it ia only after one knows the pre cise profits which go to the fortunate shareholders that it can be properly appreciated. The figures below ara taken from the London 'Stock Ex change Year Book," and show the divi dends realized on the capital invested in various mines for. the year 1S98: SEItD THB.TXTO BED WITH A KISS O mothers, so weary, discouraged, ' Worn but with the cares of the day, You often grow cross and impatient. Complain of the noise and the play, For the day brings so many vexations, so many tning going amiss; But, mothers, whatever may vex you, Send the children to bed with a kiss ! The dear little feet wander often, Perhaps, from the pathway of right; The dear little hands find new mischief To try you from morn till night; But think of the desolate mothers Who'd give all the world for your bliss, And, as thanks for your infinite bless ings. Send the children to bed with a kiss I For some day their noise will not vex you. The silence will hurt you far more; You will long for the sweet children voices, For a sweet childish face at the door, And to press a child's face to your bosom, You'd give all the world for just this; For the comfort 'twill bring you in sorrow, Send tho children to bed with a kiss I New Orleans Picayune. 1 COMMERCIAL.

Ex-Secretary Alger and his echoes did a good deal of this kind of talk,, and President McKinley has done some of it himself, although in less blunt phraseology. Speaking of this the Philadelphia Ledger, a very cool headed and conservative iournal. says: "In his glowing tribute to the valor and patriotism of the Tenth Regiment at Pittsburg a few days ago. President McKinley praised the heroes for the part they took in the Philippines in en larging the 'map of the United States' and in extending the 'jurisdiction of American liberty.' It is incredible that almost on the day when the President was felicitating the returning soldiers in this patriotic vein that the Admin istration was arranging for the surren der to Great Britain of even the tem porary possession of Alaskan territory, which this country bought and paid for years ago, territory which we have been stoutly maintaining is ours by an in defeasable title, a possession and title that have been tacitly acquiesced in by Great Britain and Canada from the date of purchase from Russia until the discovery of the extraordinary min eral resources of the country made a re-arrangement of the boundary de sirable for Canadian interests. We have heard much from the President Mines. Per Cent.

"After reading these figures it be comes easy to understand the remark made by Sir Alfred Milner the day he left England to return to South Africa, when asked by a reporter what would be his policy with regard to the Trans vaal. "If,' hesaid, 'you saw a solid pile of gold with five hundred millions sterling over there with 20,000 Boers armed to the teeth sitting upon it, what would you do?" Less enigmatic was a statement made by Mr. Lionel Phillips, one of the Rand millionaires: "We don't care about the franchise; we want the mines." these patches of ground, I from other sources of the hopeless .- , . mauity of 'flag furling ' the rnmoTl the removal e national ensicn from tam'tarv over which it has once floated. The American people will, therefore, re ceiye with astonishment and incred ulity the announcement from Wash ington that the Federal Government itself has agreed, or is about to con sent formally, to fix the American Canadian boundary just beyond the town of Klukwan, several miles below the line originally demanded by the United States against the Canadian pretensions." There probably might never have been any contention over the divid ing line between Canada and Alaska if it hadn't been for the discovery of gold in the Klondike, for without the gold the territory involved in the contention, a Bmall tract, wouldn't have been worth talking about. But there is a principle' involved in this, all the same, and if the territory is ours, as claimed, the claim should not be surrendered without a sub stantial equivalent. But possibly the disposition to placate Canada by concessions may be influenced by the relations that have obtained for some time be tween Great Britain and this coun try, and by the fact that Great Britain is a strong power, with which it wouldn't be advisable to get mixed np, a fact referred to in the follow ing paragraph with which the Ledger concludes, the editorial from which we quote: "An honest government, like an honest individual, will i.irn,u. property clearly established by a com- E stent tribunal not to be his.

The rumor ed concession to her in return for a consideration not yet disclosed estab lishes nothing as to the Federal rights m the purchase from Russia. When it suits Canadian capidity to chal lenge our title to other portions OI the Alaskan nnwhaa A VERY PERTINENT QUESTION. Referring to some Republican criticism of ex-Congressman Settle for having announced his intention to support and vote for the consti tutional amendment, the Asheville Citizen puts the following pertinent question: "If Tom Settle, white, is an "in grate," as asserted by the, subsidized morning uazette, because he has left the negro in the present fight for civ ilization and advancement in North Carolina and is standing witL his own color, that sheet will confer a public favor by properly designating the white man who leaves his own race in this contest and stands with the negro." This, while it involves politics, i3 not a mere political question. Poli tics i3 the least important factor in it. It means the longest stride yet taken in the direction of solv ing the race problem, promoting harmony between the races and the peace and prosperity of the State. The adoption of the amendment will remove the great cause of fric tion between the race3, relegate the unprincipled office-hunters and evil counsellors of the negroes, and leave the negro free to pursue the course that will lead to his own betterment, undistracted by politi cal contentions which he does not understand and by which his race has never profited. The white man who would put obstacles tn the way of the con summation of this, ia not only no friend of the negro but he is an enemy of his State and a traitor to his own race.

The new extremes of severe simplicity and elaborate applied trimmings will be seen in these costumes, whether made of satin-finished cloths or of satin itself. A model of the first-named variety, illustrated on this page, is made with close sheath skirt, fitting smoothly about the hips, but with a decided spring outward in the lower part of the skirt, to which is added ajlaring ruffle smoothly applied, under a succession of rows of machine stitching. The skirt pattern, as issued, is made in two pieces, one for the upper skirt and the second for the ruffle, with lines of perforations to indicate the shape of the front and side breadths where the material employed is to be of narrow-width silk. The ruffle should have an interlining of crinoline. The Eton jacket is made with stretched, seamless back, side or under arm, gore, and front, and the latter htted to the form by a smele dart on each side. Large revers those in the . original model are of plain silk with stitched edges and small gilt buttons form the sole trimming of this garment, which meets, but does not lap down the centre of the front. Here it is secured by hooks and eyes. The sleeves are smoothly fitted into the arm's eye, and fit the arm closely to the wrist, where they are trimmed with single rows of gilt buttons similar to those used for the centre front. Fourteen yards of narrow-width material, such as satin, peau de soie, ben galine, or other silk, will be required to make this costume as shown in the illustration, of satin-faced cloth fifty-four inches wide, six and one-half yards win prove sumcieni.

Monroe Journal: Mr. Geo. V. Newsome, a farmer of this township, came to a violent death last Monday morning as a result of a fall from his horse last Saturday evening about dark. He had swapped his mule for a horse and started to ride it home when, in front of the residence of Mr. H. B. Shute, it suddenly became un manageable and finally succeeded in throwing Mr. Newsome violently to the ground. Mr. A. M. Stack, who boards at Mr. Shute's saw the fall and hastened to the side of the fallen man. He was carried into the residence of Mr. J. J. Crow and Dr. Blair was sum moned Later he was taken home He never became conscious after the fall, it having produced concussion of the brain.

Heaven's sunbeams are re flected from the polish slab over the Christian's grave. Christianity promises the best things in the world. It is therefore the most profitable investment that these who are setting out in life can make. The personal and practical test of Christianity is to try it. Pascal says: "Human objects must be known in order to be loved ; divine must be loved in order to be known." Christ may be known, and to know him is eternal life. The thing we have mo3t to fear from is not the liveliness of the sin ners, but the deadness of the saints that remoteness from God, that inex penence of the great realities that makes God a name and a report rather than a felt person, and the superb veri ties the possession of the few rather than the realization of the many.

The cot ton market opened steady, with prices unchanged to four points higher, and continued to rally from the depression of yesterday on vigorous support from nearly all quarters. Impelled by fears of very unfavorable bureau statement on Monday, as well as evi dences of a radical change in senti ment over night, shorts made a quick turn to cover as soon as the market opened, and were conspicuous as puyers an the forenoon. Supplement ing that demand were ample orders from outside investment circles, with Wall street leading in that class of business. New Orleans and the Con tinent also bought freely. Crop data was indicative of discouraging con ditions in many parts of the belt. New York. September 9. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 6 7-16c.
