Sho is in tho ninc tcenth century in South Africa, a ro production of tho Puritan maidona of tho Bevcnteonth century in Now Eng land, or tho dauguters of the hardy 8ettlora of Vermont in tho last quarter of tho oightoonth century. A Thomp eon raight flnd araong thooi a hcroino for a South African tale aa intorcating aa "tho lcading lady" of "Iho Green Mouutain Boye," or of "Tho Itangera, or the Tory'a Daughtor."

(Jencral Lawton's Ijullctment. Tho Springfleld Iitpublican turus from tho incriminating Uuger General Lawton pointa at his real slaycra, and lakca rofugo in a remark of somo "MrB, Harria," whom tho contcmporary haa always at ita olbow, to tho effcot that General Lawton, houaed in tho course of ono of his campaisnB in the dwclliug of a wealthy Filipino and playing bil Hard8 there with a brothor ofllcor, ox prcesed his surpriso at the indications ho found of culturo and cnlighton mcnt, and observcd that it "would not do to treat theso pcoplo rs if thoy had uo righta." This remark tho Itepub lican regords as "profoundly truu," but it is not clear, evcn if tho incident rc lated occurrcd. how it rclievea tho an tis from tho oiliuru of Goncral Ltwton's tcrriblo indictment, tho authcnticiiy of which is sustained by his Bignaluro. Tho Uuitcd Statos governmcnt has nevcr treated tho Filipiuos "aa if thoy had no righta." That had beon tho course of Spain for somo threo ceu turies. The United States, from tho hour of Dewoy'a victory, had manifeat cd tho czlromcBt aolicitude for tho rightB of all tho inhabitauta, nativo or Spaniah or foreign, of tho Philippinee. Tho Filipinoa wcre not tho only peoplo on tho islanda having "righta" tho United Staloa was bouud to rogard. They wero only a small fraction of tho whole. In order to iudgc iustly and act intelligently in tho mattcr of ad ministoring affairs among "thcBO peo plo" this government early diapatchcd to tho islanda a commission of mcn omincntfor their abilily, character and fltneas for tho taak for which thoy wero deaignatcd, to invcBtigato tho conditionsand flnd tho facts of thositu- ation existing there. Appareutly this was what Aguinnldo feared, that "theso people" and all tho pooplo aa well as tho Tagala would bo treatod "as if they had righl3," but that in purauing Buch a policy his peraonal ambitions and scldeh purposes would inevitably undergo very matorial abatemcnt. So ho anticipated the coming of thn com mission, and procecdcd to treat tho peoplo of tho United Siatos "as if thoy had no righta," and mado war upon thcm. Tho miatako of tho liepublican, which ia not a mlstako at all but a will ful and porverso misreprcsontation, i3 in confualng tho righta of tho Filipiuos, as ropreaentcd by tho autocracy of Ag uinaldo, with the righta of tho inhabi tanta of tho archipologo as a bjdy; in Bubatitutiug tho "righta" of a araall fac tion, lod by a usurpor, traitor, bribo- taker and assassin, for tho righta of aomo 10,000,000 pooplo, tho great masa of whom, lucluding tho wealth, intol ligence and order loving clnssee, re pudiatc Aguinaldo and hia government, and aro siuceroly and earncatly anxious for pcaco and prospority under tho pro tection and aoveroignty of tho United StatcB. "Theao peoplo" had rights, and flrat among them was tho right to bo pro tectod from tho advonturer Aguinaldo. In this acrvice General Lawton fcll, and he has loft on rocord his judgmont that the Filipino bullet that killcd him was flred by tho mcn in America who havo oncouragod Agulcaldo to continue his rcsiatance to tho authority of tho United States governmont. Thoro is no ovadlng the responsibility for Gon oral Lawton's doath, or that of hia comrades in arms who havo fallon in tho war Aguinaldo has bcon waging against tho United States.

THE "NECESSARY" MAGAZINE The beat-lnformed men aud women in the world use the AMERICAN MONTULY RKVIEW OF REVIEWS to keep well informed, and call it the " necessary " and " lndispensable " magazine. In the busy rush of to-day ambltious men and women must know about the important questlons of the month, and not only this, they want to know about them at the right time. When the whole country is puzzled over the gigantlc combinatlon of trusts, a well-informed article is printed in the AMERICAN MONTHLY, glving the facts, and its editor discusses the theory ; when the Dreyfus afiair is in everyone's mouth, the best story of Dreyfus and the great case comes out in this magazine. Evcry month, in " The Progress of the World," Dr. Albett Shaw glves a comprehensive picture of the wotld's history duting the pre vious thlrty days. In the departments, the valuable artlcles and books that have been published during the past month are revlewed and quoted from, so that the readers of the AMERICAN MONTHLY can get the gist of them. In every issue nearly a hundred pictures are printed, including the portiaits of the men and women who are making the history of the month To he thoroughly well informed helps any man or woman ln his or her work. A subscrlptlon to the AMERICAN MONTHLY REVIEW OF REVIEWS represents an investment for the best kind of profit, as well as entertalnment. Ono subscribor has just written : "Countme a life subscriber, and when you send me a number beyond the limlt of my subscrlption and secure no renewal from me, consider it a notice of my death."
