From the Boston Herald.
We are convinced that the more
American citizens learn of the Phil
ippines the more they will wish
they were well rid of these islands
and were entirely clear of the whole
wretched business. What reason is
there to believe that it will not be
another generation before all of the
Philippine islands are completely
pacified? Judging by the experience
of the Dutch in Sumatra that would
not be too liberal an estimate of the
time necessary to obtain such re-
sults. A dispatch to the Hague
from Batavia dated August 17
told of an attack on the Dutch post
at Rambong Achin where a lieu
tenant a sergeant and twenty-two
men were killed and six wounded
in an engagement with the Ach
inese. The enemy lost not less
than twenty-two men killed in the
fight. It is quite probable that
some of the Dutch soldiers who
thus lost their lives were not born
at the time when hostilities opened
in Achin and there has been more
or less active fighting in Northern
Sumatra between the natives and
the Dutch since that time.
The holding of inhabitants of
tropical islands under the control
of white men is an extremely costly
undertaking. Already we have
expended in money without count
ing the lives which have been lost
tor they can not be measured in
dollars and cents a far greater
amount than our entire trade with
these islands will be worth for
many years to come
that the Philippines
cost us had it been
good roads harbor
and irrigation plants would have
increased our foreign trade far
more than the Philippine islands
ever will nor is there any assurance
that there will not be a terrible
outbreak in our Eastern posses-
sions one far more serious than
any we have as yet experienced
there.
suming them to be entirely depen-
dent upon the labor of the husband
and father. The state deprives the
criminal of liberty but feeds and
clothes him. The real sufferers in
a physical sense are those who are
not only denied the presence of
their natural protector but are de-
prived of the bread which his labor
earns.
We would be glad indeed to wit
ness the adoption in Texas of a
System that would bestow upon a
criminal's dependents the profits
of his labor while he is in the cus
tody of the state. They are entitled
to it by every condition of moral
ity and justice.
An even if he have no depen
dents the money should go to h s
credit so that when he emerges
from prison he may have something
with which to begin life anew.
There are other phases of this
question which deserve attention
but the Record would like for the
enlightened people of Texas to
ponder this matter and see if they
do not agree with it as to the right
and justice of the proposition.

An Effective Sample.
An English clergyman was very
fond of a particular hot brand of
pickles and finding great difficulty
in procuring the same sort at hotels
when traveling always ca"ried a
bottle with him. One day when
dining at a restaurant with his
pickles in front of him a stranger
sat down at the same table and
with an America accent presantly
asked the minister to pass the
pickles. The minister who enjoy-
ed the joke politely passed the bot-
tle and in a few minutes had the
satisfaction of seeing the Yankee
watering at the eyes and gasping
for breath.
"I guess" said the latter "that
you are a parson?"
"Yes my friend lam" replied
the minister.
"I suppose you-preach?" asked
the Yankee.
"Yes sir; I preach twice a week
usually" said the minister.
' 'Do you ever preach about hell
fire?' ' inquired the Yankee.
' 'Yes; I sometimes consider it
my duty to remind my congrega-
tion of eternal punishment" re-
turned the minister.
"I thought so" rejoined the
Yankee; ' 'but you are" the first of
your class I ever met who carried
samples " Selected.

From Sulpher Springs Gazette.
We hope to live to see the day
when officers from president to
constable are able to retain their
nositions only because they are
competent. The practice of elect
ing the man who shakes hands
most fervently smiles sweetest and
soft-soaps the dear people is large-
ly responsible for the official rot
tenness the exposure of which so
frequently shocks our sensibilities
of late. The people are partially to
blame but the newspapers are more
so. The bisrsrest jackass in the
country can get a favorable "puff
from the average country newspa
per editor by paying his subscrip
tion m advauce. a congressman or
legislator who has no more ability
nor influence than a gander is re-
ferred to as "brainy brilliant aud
influential" because he has favored
the editor with a batch of public
documents which the editor never
reads and couldn't understand if
he did. An' ordinary every-day
common-place officer is sure to be
lauded to the skies if he conde-
scends to show a slight favor to the
pencil pusher- This is all wrong
If the public servant is capable
and fearless it is the duty of the
editor to tell the people so but on
the other hand an editor should
have too much self respect to gush
compliments because he has been
oaid a dollar on subscription or
given a package of last year's gar
den seed. If he hasn't this respect
due regard for honest public ser-
vice should make him stop this
nauseating and harmful practice.

One of the Men.
There came a roar from- boiler
No. 5 and the room was filled with
blinding blistering steam from
which the men made a wild rush.
for safety most of them escaping
before they were seriously hurt
all but one Patrick Brady who
was found missing when names
were called then one of the men
dashed back into the scalding
steam and dragged out Brady un-
conscious and terribly scalded1.
This is the skeleton of the story
of an explosion in a power com-
pany's plant in New York. The
news disseminator gives no place
to sentiment he has no time for
it nor has he space for comment
the world wants the news and it
is the business of the news gatherer
to furnish the news; there is no
time for the crowning of heroes
the whirr of the press cannot be
stopped long enough to learn his
name. One of twenty men per-
haps suffering the agony such as a
scalding alone can give forgets
his own pain disregards the pos-
sibility of another boiler following
the example of No. 5 defying the
ominous vapor clcuds rolling from
the boiler room has dared death
to attempt the rescue of a fellow
workman.
One of the men was a hero be-
fore the coming of this occasion to
prove his right to the title. We
are not giving the age of this man
but whatever it is it has taken
just that many years to ripen hira
for this one gallant deed it is al-
ways one of the men who turns
the tide of battle at the decisive
moment. It is always one of the
men on hand to take the part of
the weak against the strong; it is
always one of the men who dares
to do the right in the face of a
popular opposition men whose
destinies are not cannot be bound
to earth by crowning their names
with man's applause. Brave deeds
are never done for the fame it may
bring the hero forgets himself
forgets everything except that a
cause appeals for a champion a
life needs succor.
It does mankind like a tonic to
have opportunity like this to doff
its cap to one of its kiiid and the
hustling hurrying old world is
ever willing ever glad to pause
long enough to do honor to "one
of the men." Galveston Tribune.
