THE FUTURE OF THE PHILIP
PINES.
The current number of the Ja
pan Review contains a lengthy
article by Dr. Henry M. Mae
Cracken, president ojnoritus of
the New York college, who has
completely reversed his former
attitude on the question of the
independence of the Philippines,
and declares Hlnvt it is neces
sary for the welfare of the Filip
inos themselves that American
control of l*ie islands should con
tinue for many years to come.
Dr. MacCracken was a member
of the First Saratoga conven
tion of anti-imperalists 15 years!
ago, was chairman of its plat
form committee, and was one of
the delegation which carried t<*
President McKinley its protest
against the acquisition of tin*
Philippines on any terms. He
made another trip to the Philip
pines last year and made a thor
ough investigation of conditions.
His article just published is a
severe criticism off the bill pend
ing in congress providing for the
immediate recognition of Filipino
independence, lit* declares that
it "would be cowardly, shirking
of our duty, a disgrace to Amer
ican people and an injury to the
Filipinos to give them self-gov
ernment before they are lifted
for it.” He thinks they may be
lit to dlo make a choice between,
the American Hag and independ
ence in about 40 years, since at
the present rate about three
quarters of them may linn be
able to road and write.
Filipino independence has
ceased (o be a political issue and
is now recognized as purely an
economic one, involving national
honor and duly. It is clearly the
duly of the I'nil.ed Stales to re
main in the Philippines for an
indefinite time.
BOOMING BUTTER PRICES.
The law "f supply ami demand
appears In have been suspended
in Chicago by the men who con
trol the cold storage warehouses
and I he butler supply. The an
nouncement. the other day I hat
the supply of holler in cold stor
age was 10,(10(1.(10(1 pounds in ex
cess of the amount so held a year
ago was promptly followed by an
advance of a cent a pound in but
ter prices.
Reports from I he country show
I hat the bultcr makers are hav
ing the most profitable year in
their history. The pastures have,
been in excellent condition and
the butler production in I he mid
dle states has been considerably
above normal, yet consumers are
paying more Ilian I hey did when
butler was less plentiful.
The frank stateiilgnl is made
by I he buyers flial, owing lo a war
between some big butler con
cerns, they paid more than liny
could realize from the consum
ers, tso their only recourse was
to put the butter in cold storage
and hold it for winter prices. The
plan operates lo make ihe con
sumer pay winter prices in sum
mer time. The consumer seems
destined to get the raw end of
the deal all the year round.—Ex.
HOBBLE SKIRTS AND HARD
TIMIE8.
Employes in the textile mills in
Massachusetts are (Complaining
against the hobble skirt. They
have presented statistics to prove
that owing to the prevailing fash
ion the production of cloth has
been curtailed to such an extent
that many workmen are being
thrown out of employment. The
cloak and suit factories are buy
ing a smaller amount of doth
than usual, although making
more suits and cloaks than ever
before*.
The situation is hard on the
workmen, but there is little dan
ger that it will continue much
longer. The plain and narrow
skirt's of the day are bound to
change to a tendency in that di
rection. It is a rule of trade that
feminine apparel must “go out of
style” about so often and the
hobble has about run the style
statute of limitations—Ex.
The recently enacted “adult
probation law” is working well in
Illinois. Under this law, the hus
band is given his choice whether
to serve a term in prison or sup
port his wife and children. If he
chooses freedom, he is put in
charge of a probation eonimis
sioner who shall see that he act
ually carries out his promise to
give of his earnings for the sup
port of his family. It is figured
that one thousand husbands and
fathers in Chicago are now going
about their work and contribut
ing of ftheir earnings to the sup
port of their families, instead of
leaving them to starve while
working out I heir lines in jail.
Prof. Taft has lost thirty
pounds since assuming his new
duties. Well, he is a good loser.
When certain big corporations
“cut a melon” it is understood
to be of the “water” variety.
* To the mere layman, however,
‘“civilized warfare” seems to be a
contradiction of terms.
Further proof that letter writ
ing is a lost art is adduced in
the Mulhall revelations.
Still, every lime Congress in
vestigates, it linds something
worth the effort.
Whatever else it may be, .John
Bull cannot claim that his life
is monotonous.
Belter late Ilian never? Very
.well; the Turk came back.
Also an Irishman.
One night Pal was strolling
round a show, when the showman
called him and told him that a
lion had just died, and offered
him live pounds to take its place,
and Pal, being out of work,
jumps at the chance.
As soon as he is in the cage,
another door opens and in walks
a tiger. Pat is so frightened that
he hacks to the other side of the
cage, trembling all over.
When he had given up ail hope,
a voice from the tiger exclaimed:
“Stop trembling, Pat, I'm an Ir
ishman myself.”
