Electric Cara Sag Bridge. As measured by C. C. Martin, the en gineer of the Brooklyn bridge, the cen ^r is 135 feet above mean high water; as measured by the war department for the passage beneath the structure of the training ship Buffalo this dis ance is 132 feet.

It is appalling how much we forget. My wife thihks the course of study at the public schools is too severe, and to satisfy her the other day I looked over the examination papers of our 12 year-old boy. ’What do you think of those questions?’ she asked, when I got through. ‘Oh, I guess they’re all right for Willie,’ I answered, ‘but they’re a blamed sight too hard for me.’ If I bad been standing that ex amination I would have been marked down to about 6 below zero, yet I mas querade as a fairly well educated man.” “That reminds me of an experience of my own,’’ said a listener. “A few days ago I was examining some old books that had been stored for years in the attic out at my house, and to my surprise I ran across a work on higher mathmetics that I had used as a boy at school. The shabby little vol ume was so redolent with pleasant as sociations that I sat right down in the dust and dirt and began to thumb it | over, but I was soon chagrined to dis cover that I had forgotten absolutely everything it contained. The whole thing had gone completely out of my mind, and its problems, propositions and formula were as meaningless to me as so many Aztec hieroglyphics. Presently I found a marginal note in my own hand roasting the author un mercifully for some trivial error in one of his quotations. J must have discovered the blunder in Verifying the figures, and, boyrlike, couldn’t resist crowing over my acumen. When I read the long-forgotten, boastful mem oranda I was aghast. 'Merciful heav ens!’ I said to myself, ‘is it possible that. I ever knew enough about this hideously complicated subject to actu ally call down the author of a text book?’ I left the attic in a chastened frame of mind. The great problem in education is not so much what facts to acquire as how to double rivet ’em to the corridors of our cranlums.” Nearly 351,000,000 pounds of wool were imported into this couutry during the fiscal year ending June 3, 1897, just before the Dingley tariff became law. Last year there were less than 77,000,000 pounds import ed, a difference of 274,000,000 pounds under protection, AMNESTY TO THE FILIPINO REBELS Chicago Inter-Ocean: The presi dent’s proclamation of amnesty to all Filipinos in arms against the United States is well timed. Ad earlier offer would have been con strued as an evidenoe of fear and weakness. Now that American forces are everywhere victorious and the rebel armies have been dispersed or distroyed. For months no semb lance of the so called Filipino re public has existed. Our troops oc cupy evry strategic point and have penetrated into districts where Spain never really ruled. The most sanguine of fanatical native must see the hopelessness of longer resistance. The American people have shown that they cannot be co erced. They now show they are always merciful to a vanquished foe. Among the Tagals still resisting our authority five classes mey be distinguished. Some doubtless honestly cherish the dream of inde pendence. Many more were deceived by Aguinaldo and other leaders into believing their triumph possible. Many feared that submission would be followed by such penalties as Spaiu was wont tc . ‘upon rebels. To thepe three cJussu the United States, in all vhe ntitude of its power, exten 1 s hand of mercy and compas ion. The sovereign nation calls upon ’he honest, mis guided a i ' fearful rebels to ack nowledg it. | istice. It calls upon lu»iu i j sj luemsmves liuin the r sobers and murderers who in j'1 ’r'’ . wn peaceful countrymen they can the United ^ e fifth class is composed of a lJ^Joibitious leaders who have held out in the hope of extorting from the Unitod States some “recog nition” of their power. rlhe United States neither oribes nor parleys with rebels. To Aguinaldo, if he be still alive, it offers exactly the same terms as to the humblest Tagal soldier. The United States offers free pardon to all insurgents who within ninety days subscribes to a declara tion acknowledging its sovereignty over the islands. Violators of the laws of war are, of course, excepted. A number of native leaders now in Manila have held a meeting and are seeking to impose some additional pledges. Their demands show how utterly many Filipinos fail of under standing the spirit of American government. Most of the points they ask naturally follow upon the acceptance of American rule. But when they ask the United States to expel the friars they demand an im possible meddling in a religious question. When they talk of “pro viding positions for Filopino officers in the militia” and a “general am nesty by the Filibiuos to the Amer icans” they are simply impertinent. As Judge Taft well says; “These people deal in glittering generalities and are unable to grasp details.” Nevertbelss Judge Taft thinks the action of these leaders an excellent indication. It shows that even they have taken to heart the lesBon of the many recent surrenders of the insurgents and perceive that the Filipino people are weary of brig andage and will no longer tolerate such methods of warfare. The Tagal insurrection began in the ambition of Aguinaldo and a few other leaders who systematically misrepresented to their people the purposes and intentions of the United States. It was encouraged and continued by reason of the false hopes held out to the natives by Bryanite politicians aud tampereis with treason. The insurgents uovcr won a battle and never for oue moment shook Americau supremacy in the islands. They brought death to hundreds of their own people and ruin to thousands. Some hundreds of American lives were lost in the conflict, but the blood of the gallant Lawton and his comrades is upon the hands of traitorous Americans rather than on those of the mis guided Tagals. Their foes in the Philippines the American peole par don, but upon the inciters of sedi tion at home they will visit lasting scorn and contumely. OASTOSlIa.
