Of Bourse lie must stick to his mother They had never lie n a demonstratio family, though they had cared for each other dearly. Hut all his affection for his father seemed blasted now. Ib.w could he have done so? He remembered that his father and mother had sometimes quarreled -but he had always regarded that as merely one ol the defects of weak human nature. Bl had never taken the quarrels serl ously. Of course they would have to separate now. What could they tell their friends? What excuse or explanation could they offer? The cold perspiration stood on hit brow as he thought of it all. He would meet his fnther upon hit return and ask what it meant.

MR CLEVELAND'S VIEWS.

Ib his rpeech at the annual dinner of the Holland society of New York eaPreeMeat Csttaband expressed again re views which he has bun known to hold concerning tin ration's recent expansion policy. He bebeves now lhat witht;. i te adoption of a colon ia 1 system the country has been carried away from its traditional purposes and principles and "will aeVtr be the same again." "For weal or woe." he declares, "we have already irrevocably pass.-, beyond the old lines." lie says further: The republic will tn some ..rt be Saved, Hhull It bo only 1n name anil semblance, with fair external appcarBBOa but with the germs of decay fusISRSd lipon Its vitals, or shall It. though chain;. . I, still survive In such vigor ami BtretiKth us to remain the hope and pride Of free AmericaasT The problem Is a momentous one. Its solution depends upon the extent to which the old patriotism and (OOd sense ,,f our countrymen ;un be resetted from MBBCBdlBB' BOngST." The warning which Mr. Cleveland thus gives with an evident sense of the gra ity of the situation is not one that can be lightly dismissed or answered with sarcasms by the advocates of the present attempt to make the government exercise imperial control of the recently acquired island possessions. The question as to the nation's ability to control the Philippines is, in Mr. Cleveland's view, incim ntal. It is probable, as he points out, that we can conquer the Filipinos, end even hold them under some form of orderly governat, The real question is whether this nation. i:i departing from the principles which here made it gn-.it and following iu the old paths of the nations winch bare sdesaoed to Imperisl power only to pass into decadence, Is not consenting to a "perversion Of its mission." W hat we may or may not succeed in doing In the Philippines i far 1 ss important than what the continued control of the Philippines may do to us. It was scarcely necessary for Mr. Cleveland to apologize for "sermonizing" upon such a subject or for pleading frith sober earnestness for a policy of caution and conservatism. The duty now resting upon the executive branch of government and upon congress is one of vital Importance, and it could be wished that there were more men of the influence of the ex-pn sidenl to stand out and declare what they believe to be the course of patriotism. Now- more than at ary other time the nalion is in need of discerning, patriotic critics. Chicago Record (Ind.). IN HIS OWN WAY. Banna's Kv Uoie In Ilia KnglnrrrIna of Ihe Mi In ulilil 4rali Me he me. Senator Hannn, although one of the most autocratic of bosses when he feeis secure in his control of power, is a shrewd spoilsman who IBOOgniBSI the wisdom which declares that half a loaf is better than no bread. It is evidently on this principle that Hanna has resolved to proceed in the matter of the 1180,000,000 ship SUbeidy grab now awaiting the action of til national congress. The great syndicate agent in American public life is now readjusting his cards so as to play n hedging game. This is because there are stronger hands against him than he had at first allowed bimasll to believe. It is this policy which hns led Hanna to consent, as now reported, to the amending of the ship subsidy bill in certain respects to conform to the ideas of opposing senators. The truculent boss has discovered that he cannot compel the pBSBBgO of Ihe iniquitous measure as it now stands. He knows that both himself and the McKinley administration would be discredited by its defeat, and that the syndicate behind the bill would suffer material loss. He is assured that lh amended bill will have clear majorities in the set ate and house. n amended ship subsidy- grab is better than no grab. Whatever else may he said of this man Hanna. it must lie confessed that he is the incarnation of commercialized politics. It is Ids creed to reach out for everything in sight. Then, if he cannot get all that he wants, he will take what he can get. The amended ship subsidy bill will work grievous injury to the American people, but Hanna will Anally secure its passage.

A RECORD SMASHER.

How the Contests of the Tn asnei Are Heins ttted Ina; Ii, It, iu Ii I Icima. The watchdogs of the treasury Is Washington are said to be considerably worried by the Inner nf BS with which the two houses an voting away the contents of the tnas.iry. They have been BUMUBg a rough calculation which gives g7 $0,004,000 at the grand total likely to be appropriated during the present session, and over $1,500,000.000 as the aggregate for the present congress. This will be a record smasher. Not so many years ago the whole country was filled with indignation and gave the republican party a terrible jolt because a congress ppropriated something over $1,000,000, uon. The people made things unpleasant for the statesnun of the "billion-dollar congress." Hut now com. a congress eh adds one-half to this total, and no great noise is made about it. The people seem tO be getting used to mountainous expenditures. They seem to have made up their minds that prodigality has. eonie to stay and that it ..i idle to make any protest, The WStehdogl may growl, but who cares? They may point to Vlie fact that even the enormous total for the present COBglCSS includes nothing for the Hanna-PayBS shipping grab, and not a doiinr for the Nicaragua canal, which it is now admitted will swallow tip some IIQO.OOO.OOA In the construction, not to speak of quite possible losses from web Of traffic after completion nor of still vaster expenditures liable to result from international complications. Hut Ihe people seem to take r.nly n languid interest. Many of them, Indl cd. are BTging congress on to th.se greater extremes of prodigality. W ell, as Batry (inmp observes, "them as wants to be tittivvated must pay aceordin'." The American pe. pie are paying roundly for the "t it t ivv a t ion," Of their vanity, and to outw ard a.p :;ran.es they are paving very cheerfully. Their cheerfulness may be due, however, to their blind acceptance ol the teaching of their pret mat urai.v wisp republican schoolmasters that the money which congress SppmprioteS ill paid by stupid foreigners or rains down from the skies or gushes up from wells. One o' these days depression ard headache will come upon tbem again. They will discover thnt they hnve been deceived. They will perceive thnt they are the ones who furnish the money to pay for the "tittiwation" and that the investment is not remunerative. They will learn thnt they have been contributing more millions to the millionaires and Impoverishing themselv, s. It Wdui be a sorry day for the learned republican doctors of econom ic when the people wake up and see realities in place of dreams. And we msy think ourselves fortunate if t!.. v do not go to another extreme and punish not only those who have deceived them, but those also who have accumulated wealth in legitimate ways and by the exercise of their OWB energies and their own genius for "causing two blades of gras to grow where but one grew before." People who have been robbed by confidence operators may not stop to make nice distinctions when they come to themselves. With the spirit f resentment strong upon them they may flock to the BtBttdnrd of some "prophet" like Prof. Hcrron as Kuropcans in days gone by tb i ked to the Standard of Peter the Hermit or as Frenchmen later threw thensentves into the bloody excesses of the great revolution and the "reign of tcri' Chicago Chronicle. A ulontnl Arm?." Now the advocates of militarism are sugar-coaling the proposition by suggesting that we call it a "colonial army." The .xew York Herald observes that "men who have a deepseated repugnance to a permanent large standing army would not object to the enlistment of young inericai -fcr service exclusively In the colonies. In this way an ample force could he rnised to suppress the insurreetion in the Philippines and effect Ivel J police tbem until peace and order were terBBanently established."
