He will find the end bitter onous?h. and it will come soon enousrh. President McKinley is is-uing no tho American generals in the Philip pines to crush tho power of Aguinaldo in a workmanlike manner, and it will be done. The Filipino loader is not very -well posted, or he would have realized long ago the hopeh ssness of a struggle against a country like tho United States. Great Britain immediately began to give a preference for iron ships, a soon a? she found hersolf no longer ablo to build wooden ones in competi tion with other nations. If, today, she 6hould find herself unable to build 6hips as cheaply as they could be built in other countries, and her shipowners began to pnrchase foreign-built ships, then would an agitation ensue which would compel Great Britain to pre serve, for the defense of the British empire, at whatever sacrigces of eco nomic principle might be necessary, the shipbuildiug which is her last great national industry that gives her such industrial, financial, commercial and naval eminence in the world. Just so long as the great European maritime powers expend twenty mil lions of dollars every year in buildiug up and sustaining their merchant marine upon tho sea, and this nation does nothing for American ships whereby they can compete with the aided foreign ships, just so long we shall remain weak upon the sea just po long we shall be at the mercy of our foreign rivals. So long as sub sidies are paid by other governments, and without abatement indeed, they are increasing year by year so long we must do likewise, or we shall eo--es-i neither seagoing ships nor i .-nsj seamen.

Tho most troublesome feeler in i 'u'oa, prohably, is tho guerilla organ iz .tion knoAii as the insurgent .vrrny. and this General Wood doubtless has in mind when ho makes his estimate of 50,000 Ameriean soldiers for servic on the island. There is little teUable information as to the tiza of th is force, Sijs the Beatrice Express. It wa- said to be 40,0U0 strong when wo started for Cuba, and we were told that it was ao well organized and composed of ouch fine muteri: 1 that if we would clear the harbors of Sp-n'sh sun oats it would dispose of Blanco's a my in short order, but our commauders have not been able to locate much mote than a quarter of this number of in surgents and they have turned out to be mainly bushwhackers who would not work, could not ba made to fight in the open and had few of the ele ments of soldier or patriot. Now, when their generals come foward with a de mand that we Bhall pay them $40,C00, 000 to induce them to disband and re turn to peacful pursuits they number 40,000 or more again. Whether few or many they are fearless, inured to hardship, accustomed to live by mak ing raids on other people's property, naturally lawless and lazy and reck less, and it will be no easy matter to keep thorn in subjection while hone3t and industrious people are carrying on the work of reconstruction and trying to" restore prosperty to the waste places. -In all probability they must be dealt with by forco for a long time to come, or until ihey are practically exterminated. The $3,000,000 accepted by Gomez is good as far as it goes, but it i believed this will only serve to temporarily restrain the blood-thirsty insurgents. AFFAIRS AT MANILA. 1 he latest dispatches bring intelli gence, as everybody expected, that the insurgent forces have been hope lessly routed with great felaughter; that the pumniog worKS, which supply the city with water, and which the iu surgeDts had 6tubbornly retained be cause of their great strategic import ance, have fallen into the hands of our troops, and that they have been driven from the old Spanish fort resses which environ the city and which they bad taken possession of by sufferance. Tho result thus far may be Bummed up aa follows: The insur gents havo effected the ratification of ; th Spanish treaty, have been over whelmingly defeated by an inftrb'i force and mi Inst military prcstigo, have boon driven from tVeir fortified position ujont Manila, havo lot pun Crsion of the waterworks which would have enabled them to des-troy tbo city and greatly annoy the. tnops Ami lasl, but not lo.ist, havo won tlx: repu tation before tbo civilized world of being too hotheaded and indi.sei eet to know how t use i nde-endem e if it bhould be accorded them.

Down on Harwood street the other morning 6 o'clock some two or three early risers were on their way to mar ket, says the Eallas (Tex.) New3. Up he stivet at full tilt comes a boy rid ing bareback, and he is barefooted anJ areh ended. He is whistling and is as happy as only a boy of 10 can be. On e goes at a full gallop, but with a keen e; e taking in everything that Is to be csn. Ho has just passed us when, vith a sudden stop, he wheels his '-.orse and makes for a near-by slectric- ig'it pole. It Is a tall one and, throw- v.z the bridle reins over the nearest iron foot-rest, he dismounts as quick as a flash and up the pole he goes. Hand over hand he climbs to the very iop-, and once he comes near falling. Hut Lot a hit discouraged is he. That boy Is up to something, but for the life of us old fellows down on the ground we cen't make it out. Now he throws one leg over a wire and in the entanglement we watch him struggle til! he sits astride the center piece. And now he thrusts his hand up into the great glass globe, but his chubby arm !s too short to get whatever it is he is reaching for. Another effort and h is standing upright on the cross-timber and with his arm away down in the globe, he brings out well a poor, lit tle, frightened, fluttering bird. It had in some way got into the conical-shaped globe and couldn't get out. Now we know wheit the boy means he wants a pet bird and will put It in a cage and In a few days the poor little songster will die of neglect. We could n't blame the little fellow, for we had all been boys once; but we thought it might have been just as well to have let. it stay in Its own self-incarcerated prison, and mayhap it would have final ly leainert to regain Its freedom. But just then the boy, with face uplifted and a smile all over his sunburned cheeks, raises his hand, palm upward and fingers outstretched, and away fiie3 the bird. Down the pole like lightning, astride the horse in an instant, and. riding like mad, he passes by us. Go; ahead, little rough rider, breathing the fresh, free morning air free for you and free for the birds j-ou are alJ right. There are other rough riders who risked their life and everything they held dear in the world to help those in prisons and in bondage, and you are both made of the same kind of stuff. Ride ahead, little man, and tho-ueh you did not hear or notice our plaudits there on the sidewalk, you are all right, and may God bless you.
