The withdrawal will be made gradually, one regiment at a time. In the mean time the force of school teachers has been augmented by another shipment of 200. This is civilization that civilizes. v —w——era—— The premier of Austria Hungary wants to make war on American industries and says that on account of their competition the European manufacturer of shoes cannot make profit. Europe has long needed instruc tion in the art of making shoes, and the only way to stop the American in vasion is to make better and cheaper shoes. Mr. Bryan says that -Hill would adopt a platform so near that of the Republicans that there would be but little difference, in the event of his election, from a Republican regime. And Mr. Bryan’s ideas are so near those of the populistic platforms that it looks as if the democracy would be left out of the transaction in either case. It is to be wondered whether those persons who are basing their arguments against the retention of the Philippines on the fact that the United States will not immediately get back all the money that has been spent would refuse to consider an investment that gave a fair rate of interest if it did not immediately return all the capital put into it. The increased commerce with the Philip pines may be looked upon as the interest that the country draws.
