S' lie- ai.d Spain will take place in
Washington in the exchacg : vi ratiiiea
t'ons. Tftis formality will be effected,
as tiie dispatches announce, by Secre
tary of Siate Hay on behalf of the
t'uited St :tes and Amu insador Cam
ben of France acting for the Spanish
govern merit. There will consequently,
be no dela3- in carrying out the require
ment of the treaty in this respect and
it is to be presumed that very soon
after this is done our government will
pay to Spain th 820,000,000 agreed upon
for the cession of the Philippines and
appropriation by congress. Immediate
payment is not necessary under the
provision of the treaty, but the money
is on hand, Spain his use for it and it
is safe to say that this government will
decide to close the matter u; at once,
since nothing could be gained by post
poning payment.
The resumption of diplomatic rela
tions between the two counlries will
follow promptly the exchange of rati
fications, the report being tnat the
Spani-h government has already se
lected a minister to Washington. At
the same time commercial relations
will be resumed and full intercourse be
tween the two nations be re-established
perhaps naver again to be broken or
seriously disturbed.
Meanwhile as to Spiin herself it is
prob.ible that her troubles will not end
with the consummation of peace with
the United States. The political con
ditions in the monarchy are such as
prome grave domestic disturbances
and dilliculties in the near future. This
was clearly shown in the bitter fac
tional conllicts in the Cortes, the disso
lution of which lias been decreed, and
it is far from certain that lhi Parlia
ment which h is been convoked will bo
more favorab'.o to the preservation of
dumcHtic peaeo. Ilee.

There is no longer doubt that birds
are addicted to the dance. The bower

in the art, while the American grouse
is a veritable master of ceremonies. It
is the custom of these birds to pre
pare their ballroom by beating down
the grass with their wings, and then
to dance something suspiciously like
the Lancers. By twos and fours they
advance.bowing their heads and droop

Retrospection.
Everything that happens to us
ieaves some trace behind; everything
contributes imperceptibly to make U3
what we are. Yet it is often danger

either we grow proud and negligent, or
downcast and dispirited, and both are
equally injurious In their consequences.

It. ANDUKVVS recently delivered
a lecturo before the West Hnd
Woman's club of Chicago, entitled
"The Pubic School System As An In
strumentality of Social Advance."
The Chicago Tribune hays "that he
succeeded in investing a trite subject
with interest and in predentin:; a new
point of view, in some respects, aa to
one of the functions of the public
school system " Dr. Andrews, as re
ported, thinks the great eft obstacle to
human advancement is the fact that
I the masses of humanity have such a
I low ideal of life and no ambition
live better. Citing Hugley, to the ef
fect that if this evil cannot be cured
he would welcome Um comet that
would blot, out the world, and John
Stuart Miila view that unless it could
bo remedied he saw no reason why
any one should feel, any concern for
the human race, Dr. Andrews may be
ta'id to have supplied the last link in
this trilogy of pesimi-m by adding
that, if some way cannot be found to
eljvat:; tho submerged tenth, ho mint
admit lib, is ot worth living.
Nothing is easier than for anv man,
especially if of a philosophic turn of
thought, to sit down in certain moods
and demonstrate c.oiiclusi vel v to him-
self that today is wholly b id and that to- j
morrow hoids or will hold in its keep
ing all that might make life desirable
or even endurable.

agree with bun. could for tho moment j
i .i . u
convince almost anyone that chaos I
and night word only a short distance
ahead. After listening to eloquont
pessimists it iseisj.by way of reac
tion, to believe with a French critic
that "the chief condition of social
happiness is abandonment of our
highest aspirations." Chicago' su
perintendent i f schools is not, how
ever, a pessimist of that kind. Though
the outlook may be bad, he dojs not
despair. Rejecting Plato's remedy,
that no children bj born except to
healthy and moral parents, he agrees
with Mill that the remedy for the
present evils of the social organiza
tion is the common echool, though he
asserts that Mill's corollary coloniza
tion of tho dregs of society in new
countries has been proven imprac
ticable by General Booth a statement
to which the head of the Salvation
Army would emphatically object.
In the United States the coloniza
tion of the surplusage of city popula
tion has been fairly launched as an en
terprise during the last year, and
Commander Booth Tucker, in his first
annual report, shows that it has been
successful and predicts a much greater
measure of success in the future.
The common school, however, to
which Superintendent Andrews looks
as the chief agent in the social regen
eration of the race, is not the common
public school of today, excellent as
are some of tho features of the latter.
It must bo better than any that now
exists and muit be dominated by
moral and artistic forces and it flu
ences to a much greater extent than
at present. While every one will
probably agree with Dr. Andrews
that such a change in the puolic or
common schools is desirab'e and would
be of incalculable influence for good
it is to be feared that the n construc
tion or regeneration of the social or- ;
ganiz it'ou is by no means so simple a
matter as this suggestion of reforma

the terror and much else that is not
pleas int in retrospect might have
been avoided. Ktigland and America
are also good examples of the evolu
tionary metiiods of advance, due, not
to a single causa or agency, but to a
correlation of f. rces making for human
bettei ment. Even the evils of the
present industrial and commercial
systems, which are mainly responsible
for the "submerged tenth," are but
temporary results and inconveniences
of a transition stnge to better e.mdi
tio.s and a better state of society.
This, at times, niay be difficult to be
lieve, "but a little reflection and a
study of labor conditions of two or
three centuries ago will convince any
one of its truth. Pessimism has its
uses, but ' the one far off divine event
to which the whole creation moves" is
a much gi a'er source of inspiration,
hope and practical achievement than
even the most philosoph'c pessimism.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed to th.e gen
eral use which is now made of wire
rope for rigging purposes as well as to
the fact that the hulls of the ships
are usually constructed of iron or steel.
Thus the whole ship forms an excel
lent and continuous conductor, by
means of which the electricity is led
away into the ocean before it has time
to do any serious damage.
You can be cheerful and happy only

you up. Price, "0 cents. F. (J. Fricke
