McGuire has been re instated more through leniency upon the part of the mayor than for any other reason Had the mayors charges against him been pressed he might still have been sustained by the council and he might not It is impossible to tell what the Massillon city council will do after it has done it The of McGuire was a hasty move upon the mayors part and his willingness to call the matter square by accepting an apology for the objectionable language used to him by the officer is a final proof that the mayor himself at Irst recognizes that his hasty action was Improper and could not justly be sustained But the real truth is nearly always found between the two extremes If Mayor Wise was at fault in demanding of the officer that he release a prisoner without the formalities of the law being complied with the was no less at fault in applying to the mayor later on an insolence that few men have the to tolerate The mayor is entitled to respect by of his office from all citizens aad especially from the men who serve under him That a policeman may and should arrest a mayor if he should step beyond the limit of his legal au and become disorderly there can be no question Beyond the rights and restrictions of his office a mayor is but a private citizen and should be re garded as such even by the men who owe their appointments to him That a policeman should threaten the mayor with arrest in case he should become subject to it is likewise proper But that for any cause and under any circumstances a police officer should address the mayor in his own office and In the performance of his proper func lions in an insolent and defiant tone is altogether improper and cannot be justified upon any ground whatever The mayor was in error in the first instance and the officer in the second The developments of a thorough in by the council would not have been creditable to either and it ia best for both that the matter has been settled by mutual concessions ALGERS FOOL TALK It is funny though it does ones wrath to observe Alger trying the French politicians plan and sheltering himself behind the honor of the The attacks upon him he says are not against the secretary of war but against the glorious victory of the American troops the brave deeds of our men and their achieve ment which are the marvel of the The secretary does not help hia case by luch fool talk The presidents at It much more judicious and is even pathetically appealing He has i taken great pains to have things go i right and if mistakes have been made wante to know of them that they may be corrected But Alger has no 1 to make to any man no one could bettor and who him our glorious army Tbe who is capable of talking ia thU way under present writes himself down unfit for official trust The American army has indeed as he says won a great and noble vic but that was in spite of The truth is that Algere own lar general thought he was beaten and ho would have been if the army had not fought harder than he had any right to count upon and if the navy hud not done surprising things B tbe splendid courage and efficiency of the army as shown both in Cuba ai d in Puerto Rico only made the more conspicuous the mismanagement at Washington FRANCE WILL NOT INTER FERE The report cabled from Hongkong to a London newspaper that France has promised to recognize the Filipino re public can safely be discredited No will do such a thing as that least of all France The U ait 3d States is the dominant power in the Philip pines at this time and ia so recognized by the world To take cognizance of the existence in those islands of an in dependent republic would be an offense against tbe United States which no power will commit This nation will what shall be th f a of he islands After Spain has been elimin ated from tbe situation at least so iar as regards the island of Luzon tbe question of tEe relation of the United States to the Filipinos will receive con sideration Nothing would please the people of the United States better than to see an independent republic in the Philip pines provided that they are satisfied that the Filipinos are capable of self

Problem Looms Up in the Fore ground of All Negotiations as the One Great Barrier to an Early Agreement for a Lasting Peace Washington Sept freedom with which Spanish minister of foreign affairs has given publicity to the instructions to the Spanish peace commissioners as to the disposition of the Philippines has given rise to a suspicion among the officials here that there is behind it a deliberate purpose to draw out in advance the position of the American commissioners on this important point It is noted now that heretofore the Spanish government has waited upon the United States government to make each of the steps towards final peace before a move on its side so that this sudden change in policy is accounted for only on the ground stated There is be sides this apparent purpose a veiled threat in the last instruction not under any circumstances to allow the United States to interfere with the disposition of the islands outside of those retained by the United States such as Luzon that Spain may see fit to make This is believed to be an invitation to some of the continental powers to step forward in support of Spain in this extremity in the hope of receiving as a quid pro quo some one of the Philippines as a coaling or naval station Although the American peace com missioners have so far successfully re all attempts to ascertain the exact nature of their instructions is known of their general character and it may be stated on this point of the final disposition of such of the Philippines as are not held by the United States that while the president has nowhere directly admitted any obligation to the insur gents yet so longas they carry out their part and avoid a rupture with our forces at Manila he feels that in any arrangement that shall be made by the peace commissioners for the final disposition of the islands the in shall not be placed at the mercy of the Spanish government without a guaranty for their proper treatment By an extension of this same view it is unlikely that he would wire to allow them to be turned over to another power that might sively treat them especially without the consent of the natives There ive strong strategic reasons why the United States should refuse to sanction the cession of any of the Philippine islands to any other nation as a naval base It has been explained to the American peace commission ers that by the possession of the island of Luzon on the north and the island of Palawan on the south the United States would control the great gate way for the large traffic that passes between China and Australia as well as fhe myriad islands of the south Pacific It is noted at the state department that the Spanish minister of foreign affairs is reported to have directed the Spanish peace commissioners to make a firm stand regarding the Cu ban debt and the Philippine loan of 1896 if Luzon is ceded to So far as the Philippine loan is con cerned that subject might properly come before the peace commissioners But Judge Day the president of the American just before his departure in answer to a question as to whether any matters relative to Cuba would come before the commis pointed to the language of i the protocol to show that the proper function of the commission was to be found in the disposal of the future of the Philippines intimating that no question touching Cuba in any phase would be considered by the commis sion FOR you wont marry me The words itere low and pleading tbe voice very tender and true but tbe girl on dainty ears they fell threw the beautiful head a little further back and laughed out her half vexed half defiant answer When you are on the road to Gerard Ill marry you at once if it be for 1 cant wait forever but as you dont ap wish for success a lovely willful smile and prettiest of petulant The man listened his handsome face turn ing white as if carved in stone Success with you is only another name the girJ interrupted with that lovely light

that you couldnt you too would spell Success an M a very big M and call it Money You would 1 know you she ended bit terly The man Fate was against him now and his career light and hopeful as it looked a short time ago seemed sadly dull somber now and why Be cause of that lovely face that was turned away from him so petulantly because of the mocking words that fell like little strokes of a whip across his loving heart And while he thought the music in the ceased its soft throbbing the dance was over and he had had his answer be supposed He would say one more thing before they parted he determined suddenly he would have at any rate a clear understanding with the woman he loved so madly And after that then the the right or to the left He put out his hand to stay her as shq would have risen 1 want to ask you one thing lie said so gently that her wan dering attention was fixed on him once more If I went into the fathers business which as you know I I gave up my dreams of the bar and a life which 1 should love a life which would be poor perhaps but full of I had the prospect of success in the business of which you speak so highly what then She turned to him with a new light spark ling in her beautiful eyes Had she con quered at every hope every ambition at her feet she said her voice tender with feeling and her soft eyelids drooping above the brilliant eyes then I should say no and her tones trembled into silence and her white hands played nervously with the violets at tbe bosom of her delicate gown But you would love me believe in me my iove he urged his voice strained with passionate love his hands clasping hers Will you love me will you let me hope you me tell rae And the soft waltz music rose and fell again and the air was laden with the scent of lilies and heliotrope as Marguerite the ui brat toward her lover The snow fell outside very softly wrap ping the sordid city in tenderest white cover ings and transforming it into a kingdom of crystal and pearl Inside one of the greatest of its many fair houses there was revelry and ihe ripple of silvery voices and the ring of tuneful laughter One of the richest men entertained his guests and feasted them right royally so that they spoke increasingly well of him and of his entertainment and of the beauty of his peerless wife She stood in the great in purest white uith diamonds on her snowy nock and beautiful stars in her golden hair nnd around her n little of the find nnd cleverest kept her court and her with sallies until her laugh rang out above all the gentle badinage around The husband heard the silver ripple of laughter and it awoke some of the old thoughts the old memories that he had striven to lay by as a child lays by its dear old when playing days are over and done with And all of a sudden he felt very weary and tired of the lights and the scent of the great banks of roses that his wife had or dered the skillful florist to of the music and the faces and the crowd and he slipped away unnoticed to his quiet study and sat there awhile to dream He had gone into the business that he had heartily disliked for Marguerite and it had proved a success in bis hands They spoke of him for a knighthood this year it did not elate him much but his wife was delighted and he was not tired of pleasing her yet Only he had pleased her so much once he had given up so much for her sake that every sense had been curious ly deadened to him since and so the worlds and teir came and went and he felt but little of it And bis ideals They were laid away safely and the he would have climbed with so much vigor and per severance were mossgrown now and gray with molding age There was not much to for so had come to him he supposed by Us own endeavors as well us by good luck and he bad no to leave it to And his wife flow tenderly she bad caressed him at the time of the how gently her pretty fingers had smoothed the way She was so accustomed to it all now and he had lived it as she once said playfully to him She was always sweet And always beautiful and everyone said he was the luckiest man in London Perhaps it true He got up and sauntered back to the draw lovely wife was chatting with a young barrister as he passed My husband would have been just like you he heard bar say in that ex voice of hers if he had not taken my advice He took it and you e the re The younger man looked round He saw the beautiful rooms the brilliant crowd tbe flashing of countless gems the peerless of the woman who spoke he heard the music rising and faling in tbe distance and breathed the delicate scents of rarest blossoms Again Vie saw the word success written everywhere success that he a beginner a novice could never hope to emulate Sud denly the worn face of the master met his eyes I see the he
