These hostilities were commenced nr.d carried on by Agulnaldo. before the Philippine policy of the United States had been announced, arid therefore th" ratification of tho treaty of Paris. After th? latter took place, Agulnaldo lasued another proclamation, calling on the natives to macracro every foreigner. rt was dated February 15, 1S9?, and the recond cl*u?e reads an follows: "2. Philippine families only win be respected. They should not be molested; but all othfr individuals erf whatever race they may bo will be exterminated without any companion wifter the extermination of the army of occupation." Conflned to Part of One Trite. From this time our army hat? been trying to put down tho Insurrection and assert the authority of the United States. It should be noted that this Insurrection Is conflned to part of one tribe only, headed by Agulnaldo. It Is not n. etruggle of the Philippine nation for Independence, but a pchrme of tho wily Agulnaldo to ftirther his own. personal ambition. No protests or opposition have been nra^o by an7 except Agulntlflo and Ma follo^T*. Tbe people oa a whole welcome the Americans. , The commission that negotiated the treaty of Parte, coding to us the Philippines and Porto Rico, was composed of both Democrats and Republicans. Tho ratification of the treaty was brought about by representatives of nil parties, including ton Democrats, three Populists, three Bllverltcs, and one Independent It required n. two-thirds vote, nnd..there was Ju*t one vote above tho nee'ersary number. Bryan himself, camo to "Washington, expressly for the purpose of urnln?r Ma party In Congress to vote for ratification. Urged Ratification.

No other possible course wan left for the President,^who had sworn to do his duty as th? law directs. Having acquired sovereignty over the Philippines, it became necessary that we should,enlarge our array In ordsr to meat tho existing situation In the Islands and assort our authority. Congrers therefore provided that the regular army (27,000) might be temporarily Increased w> 65,000 men, and In addition 35.000. voluntsora wero authorised, to nerve until July 1, 1901. Tho bill passed tho eennte by a vote of BS to 13, or throe-fourths of the body. .It waa supported by all the leading Democrats, and all the Populists exceptions. It passed the house by a vote of 203 to 82. Bryan's Absurd Claims. The object of this bill, or tho effect of It, was to give the President power to suppress the; insurrection and maintain our authority In the Philippines, and every member of Congress clearly understood this. This is tho mtthnrltv and the power the President la now using; In his efforts to uphold the honor ot our flag In our nevr pOMiiaions. Bryan now rna>.e? the absurd claims that the. "United flutw hits no right or title to the Philippines; that wo acquired tho IslandB and intend to eorern their peopie without their consent. And because cur Present Is trying to quell tho guerilla vr.*rfar?> of Asruhial4o and restore pc-ace?ns the treaty compelled him to do?Dryan calls it "imperialism," and further saya that tho liberties of o-rr ovvn people are In dancor! In views of -Bryan's efforts to have the treaty ratified, and of the purposo of Congress to have tho outhorHy of the United Statos In tha Philippines maintained, his ravins* about the "consent of the govertwd." "imperialism," militarism." etc., are contemptible, to tfuy the leaei. Ho Is Juatly rebuked In tijo rrords of Senator McLaarln. (Dam.) of South Carolina, In a opccch in favor of holding tha Phlitpplaoa delirered In tho United States senato, February it, Itto, as follows: Kot a Political Question. "This Is not a political question. Tt is not and should not bo made an Issue between the great national parties. It 1* a Question hleher nnd broadpr thnn mere part/ policy, ana should not be determined by partisan Judgment merely to secuts party disadvantage or Kucceua. The frt?ft(ful ghost, 'Imperialism,' has been held up to frighten and deceive. *' rbelieve the time has come when our-people (of tho south) are preparod to consider these grave questions from the standpoint of reason and interest, and when they are not to bs beguiled by appeals to passion and prejudlco." It should be notftd that whtl? Bryan objects to our holding tha Philippines, he has not a word to say against our holding Porto Rico, which was acquired under tho same treaty whl<5h Bryan himself helped ratify. To be consistent he Fhould oppose our authority In the latter Inland. Bnt Porto Rico la "another story" to htmj he would make no votes In opposing our rights thereto, because the people understand the situation too won. Sololy icr Political Effect. The treasonable opposition of Bryan and his party leaders to the policy of the administration In the Philippinescarried on solely for political effecthas prolonged the Insurrection. There Is abundant proof of this?In letters from anti-expansionists In the United States to Agulnaldo and hit associates, In the columns of a proralnont newspaper published In tho Philippines; In documents captured from tho Insurants; In the report of the non-partisan Tnft Philippine commission, whleh says, "it Is conceded by all but men In arms, and Is implied In their proclamation, that If tho election confirms the present policy the remnant of tho Instirrentlon will dlrappear ^7tthln ***ty flays," ctc.: and finally In the lettoci of our poldlrrs. One of the latter, tho aon of nn old-school IVmoerat, residing near Washington, pays In ? letter to hla parents: Encouraged Our Enemies. "Tho antl-erpanslonlsta at home have simply ruined all prospects of 'any peaceable termination of the troubles i here, at least until after election.

St Joieph St Paul Wheeling Drcnch, 50-54 Sixteenth Street TOPICS OF THE SCHOOLS. Tho writer was asked a few flays ago whether thore was scientific Instruction on thu subject of temperance in the "Wheeling schools,- and ns a matter of course he was forced to state that there was not, except In the grammar room. All pupils who pass through our ward schools preparatory to the high school study physiology, and In this Is taught the effects of alcohol, narcotics, tobucco, eto., on the human system. In tho lower rooms there are no text books on the subject of temperance. This does not say, though, that there is no torn- j perance instruction given. Teachers c are exuectod to ulve such Instruction in 1 every way, and at all times, whenever there Is an opportunity to make It effective, and these opportunities come almost dally. It Is a debatable question whether this Is not tho better .way to teach temperance to children, anyhow. Anything In the way of text book teaching to children under tho grammar grade, 1. e., that Is In any way scientific, Is not apt to be remembered or to have the effect, that words coming from the living tcachor, bo plain that the child underptands It. If wo no Instruct our boys and girls on the subject, that when they etow to manhood and womanhood, they will not drink the question Is solved at once. If the saloons ore not patronized they will close of Gielr own accord. No on? will follow Iho business oxcep? for tho money there Is In It. As Boon as It becomes a losing busInoES, every saloon will bo dosed. The public Rchocl teodtoro cZ to-day aro doing yoernan servico in the ccwuk> cf temperance. If they Co their whoto 4uty. Let every boy and tffrl b? nmfio to know the evil effects of all stimulants a*?d narcotics if used to excess and then when they become men and women they cannot pl?ad Ignoranoa If they boo fit to use them. ? ( i C?ivil Government. , . Civics or civil government ought to havo a Dlaco in our ward schools. Per haps It would not be well to hare a c text book on the eubjoct?thla, per- : haps, has its proper place In the high t school; but every teacher ought to t teach obedience to the laws of our t country, and Just as soon as th$ boys > and girls are able to comprehend, they t should know what thee? laws are. t where they originate, how made, and r why tbey should be obeyed. This can ? bo done 1b various way3 and always In a way to tnteresl all th# pupfls. This Is true patriotism. A. reaped for the flog will thus be taught beayu9e they are taught what the flay stands for. A { hurrah patriotism, ono that goes as the multitude goes, Is not tho kind we are 5 needing to-day. We hare, perhaps, too much of that kind already. We netyl a patriotism that will always stand lor the right on oTl groat Questions that come up for polutlen. Our country needs men to-day as ft never did before. We have them and they will In the future, nn they have In the past, carry our flfttf through nil dancers and hold It aloft as the beacon light of the World. Hopo of tho Nation. Our publle schools arcs tho hopo of the nation. They are the l^nvrn thnt Is to Inject Its revivifying Influence Into every avenue of business. Into every stratum of arvclotr ami Into the very 1 body politic 11so!f. A trrt people may 1 be enslaved, but a freo and onll&rhtened peoplo, neverl Let a people once know what It Is to bo free and enlightened and all ths powers on earth cannot enslave them. They rise abovo their anvlrorrnients that may b# at work to dra?; them down. Our froo schoolB are the salvation of tho race. Political parties save the .country every four years, but our freo schools furnlnh tho men and the women that will keop our rt&s floating, no dlfferenco what may be the policies of tho man who succeeds to tho presidency. Nona but an enemy to our country and our flagr would do auj?ht to cripple our free schools. Tho Truant law. We hove a truant law !n West Vlr- | plnla, which the attorney crnerc.1 has decided, and which the writer believes ( epplles to Wheeling Just us much as It , docs to any other part of tho state. | Why Is It not enforced 7 Why did our board of education fee a lawyer to get , an opinion, when the attorney funeral , was tho ono to pass on It? It cannot , be that our board Is opposed to It. ( There aro soveral hundred children runnlnff the oticots of our city who , would be In school If this law was en- { rorceu. Now thin In a met mat cannot ^ be denied. Would It not bo well to In- , vestlgate thin matter? The law In not , what It ought to bo perhaps, but It la ( better than none, and It la doing a great , deal of pood where It la enforced. There ' Is nowhero In the at ate n town that has J more need of this law than Wheel* | lap, and It la the only place where it 1h i not enforced. Civics. ] referring ngaln to the subject of < civics, wo observe that from now until March i, 1001, Is a time to Impress those pupils who are old enough to underKtand It, all nhout tho election of tho * President of tho United Statra. So few voter?, even, know the entire process. Then In West Virginia there Is a TJnl- J ted fltatAR senator to bo elected. Wh?n f tbn legislature meets the attention of t th? ran fce rattod to this arid enoh 1 day they can note the proceedings un- t .11 ho Is elected. Such teachings will lever be forgotten. All such opportuiltles are embraced by tho true teach>r, and the pupils are greatly benefited hereby. Vertical vs. Slant Writing. At the meeting of the New York state :ouncU of school superintendents, one if themost Interesting discussions of the mtlro meeting was said to have been >n the subject, "Vertical vs. Slant CVritlng." Tho sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of vertical?only our out of the entire assemblage /otlng In favor of slant writing. It seems that there has been an erroneou3 dca gone abroad concerning the voto )f the borough superintendents. The .'ote was not a unor.lmous one and the principals aro loft free to teach verticil wrltng, If they choose to do so. The l^U?? JUllk UtllUUl OUUIIIUI, UIID VII lire ending educational Journals of the Jnltcd States, has this to say on tho subject: "One thing seems assured, ind that Is that vertical script has como ;o stay, as a standard for beginners In penmanship. Whatever changes the ndlvldualltlee of older writers may vork In the angle are of no conseluences to teachers. Their duty Is to jresent standards of legibility and almjlidty. Rapidity, though essential, Is )f secondary Importance. To this end here can be no doubt as to the supnrorlty of the vortical writing over slant." Meeting of Principals, A very Interesting meeting of tho )rlnc!pals was held at the superintending office on Thursday afternoon of ast week. Quito a number of topics vero discussed. The principals were lrged to be careful thnt the reports nnrif> nut hv tho lonchnra nr? nnrrnot tn tvery particular, I. e., as to punctunlon, additions, ctc. The superlntend:nt called special attention to the fact hat the board of education was tho inly power to grant a holiday. No comnlssioner or commissioners could do so egally. He therefor* suggested that Then any teacher or teachers wish a joliday, or a half holiday, that the natterube referred to the hoard of eduction at the meeting preceding the :Irae the holiday Is desired. Tor the Good of the Cause. These r.otes are written not that the vriter may show what he knows, but at ho nrs?nt request of the pap*r in ivhlch they appear: for the good;of th? :ause, ?.r.J with the special desire to lclp tho young tcacher In her work. In tr?ry article vrrltten tho great aim has 3?eu to state educational facts as they Lppoar to him. He does It honestly and ,vlth the wish to do the creatort good o tho greatest number. Mistakes may ae mado In them, for the writer has lved long enough to know that he does lot know all about everything that almost dally presents itself to the teacher. There was a time away hack In his ;xpcrienec whrn he may have thought le "knew It all," but that time Is In he distant past. Age and experience ire great teachers. There has never inpeared In any article an Intended rejection on any teacher or any set of eachera. The Pedagogue Is especially he friend of the young teachers, and vill gladly do all. In his power to hejp hem. It Is hoped that 'in the future hese articles will be read with tho spirit In which rhcy aro written?the ;ood of utl concerned. THE PEDAGOGUE. "Week of Prayer for Young: Men, Tho Young Men's Christian Assoclalona of the world havo observed the recond Sunday In November and the vcek following, as a season of prayer m belralf of young men, for a number it years, n-lth good results.

Indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; sometime* pain shoots across the region of the kidneys rind again tho loins are so Inme to stoop Is oRony. No use plastering or rubbing the back In this condition. You ennnot reach the cause. To exchange a bad back for a new and stronger one, follow the example of this Wheeling citizen: Mrs. Annie Murphy, of No. 23G3 Wood street, says: "Kidney tro.uble started from n cold which settled In my kidneys.
