THE VOICE.

One of the very unpleasant recoIlec-
tons of educated Americans, living in
the Northern States, during the last
forty years, is the high squeaky voices
Of the men, and especially of the wo-
men. They were harsh, raspy, and
disagreeabIe.
The cultivation of the voice in con-
versation, was regarded by the Puri-
tans, as an invention Of the Evil One
and a temptation TO a worldly life.
Ineir successors adopted these views,
until liberal education, and travel, and
especially the association with people
of other nations, taught them the
pleasure and refinement of the proper
use of the voice. The rapid spread of
musical education changed also the
prevalent notions and habits. The
clear, distinct, and we'll modulated
tones of educated English women was
an object lesson. The bright Ameri-
can women, became conscious of their
deficiencies in this respect. What the
vulgar called an imitation of the full
clear distinct tones of the English
women, was only an unconscious re-
cognition of the true art of speaking.
Then came the women from the
Southern States, with their soft must
cal voices, to shame the Northern wo-
men out of their raspy talk.
The improvement in the use of the
voice has been singularly rapid during
| the last ten years, but one has only to
sit in a railway car and listen to the
average talk on q high pitch Of the
travelling women to know that there
| is need of much instruction and prac-
| tice yet.
A writer on the subject recently said
| that speech is vocal music enunciated
into words and syllables,' and 'the
training of the voice in song and
speech Is identical"
| 1t is a just criticism on the white
population, especially the Americans
of these Islands that they deteriorate
| in the use of their voices here. 1t is
said that This is due to the develop
ment of nervous diseases, for which
the climate is responsible. The truth
| is, probably, that it is due to CONNER
| cial interests, so far as men are con-
| cerned, which have prevented much at
| tenion being paid to the subject. In
the case of the women it may be due
to the wholly unnecessary physical de-
terioration in a warm climate.

LABORERS FROM THE PHILIP
PINES.

The project of securing Philippine
1aborers for our plantations is one OF
the most serious we have There are
about 100000 Of people on those ISL
ands. Many of them are savages.
Whether or not they are Industrious
savages, we do not know. Many of
these people, it is fair TO presume, are
willing to emigrate to these Islands.
But of the millions OF the total popu-
lation, the number required for these
Islands will not be a drop in the
bucket. The rate of wages paid to
laDorers here is largely in advance of
wages paid to the Philippine laborers
The inducements to emigrate are ex-
cellent.
Wall they be permitted to emigrate?
If the United States control the
Philippines, either by annexation, d
protectorate, or otherwise, it will be
very difficult TO put the movements of
the people under any restraint. Once
under the Flag, and protected by it,
it Will be difficult, under our form of
in any direction. Only the most des-
potic of governments will dare to say
TO the people it protects you must
live in a certain place, and if you move
away from it, you will be punished"
Russia would hardly do that. America
cannot.
1t may be safe, therefore, to assume
that the control" of the Philippines
by our nation, will remove any bar
riers against Philippine immigration
How desirable the laborers from
those Islands may be, is not positively
known. The large exports from there
indicate an Industrious element.
Whether this community should en-
courage an immigration, which is de-
cidedly not in the interests of civiliza-
ton, is another question. Business in
terests will kick out of sight any petit
toners on behalf of civilization. The
sugar interests will not pay much at
1ention to the morals of Sunday
Schools, in dealing with it. The Cen
trail Union" by the force of circum-
stances, will consent to filling the ISL
ends with Philippine heather, if the
sugar-god demands it.
The disposition of the Philippine Isl
ands, therefore, may have a far reach
ing effect on the future of these Islands
Congress will be confronted with this
novel result of the doctrine Of expan.
sion: that it may strike fatal blow
at the sugar beet and cane industry OF
the mainland. This industry will cry
out in the halls of Congress, so you
propose to sacrifice the prosperity OF
American citizens to Spanish West In
diam niggers, and the heather Fill
pinos?"
And Congress may do some queer
work.

Negligent Legislators.

The failure of several members of
the legisla ture to file the statements
required by the purity Of election
law is liable to cause serious trouble
when that body meets. Those who
have failed to comply with the law
are Senators Flanagan, Of Washoe
county, and Martin, Of Douglass. and
Assemblymen Gedney, Of Elko coun-
ty, and Lem Allen, of Churchill.

ton and did not return until after

limit had expired.
Under the terms OF the law no cer-
tificates can BIZ issued to either OF
these legislators. The Senate and
Assembly being the sole judges of
the qualifications of their members
mey seat the deinquents notwith-
standing their failure to comply with
the terms Of the purity law. This
would be nothing but justice as there
has been no wilfun neglect on their
part. This is certainly true in the
case Of Gedney and we presume the
came is true in the other cases.
AS affecting the Senatorial fight,
the delinquents are set down as fol-
lows: Flanagan and Gedney as OPP
posed to Stewart, Martin doubtful

Stewart.

Polk, Tyler and Pierce. These, 1t says,
were really obscure men. But the
Argonaut does not seem to detect the
workings of our political institutions.
Government by the president is not
desired. Government by party is de-
sired So the aim, of each party Is, TO
put in Office, a man who will not take
the bit in his mouth as several have
done, but will meekly, and without re-
sistance, obey the orders of the party
leaders. Sometimes the leaders are
deeply Inundated by being left but
usually they control the presidents, and
perhaps, under a Democratic form OF
government, they should control them.
The trouble about nominating navy
man is that the leaders cannot size him

man, but that is not guarantee that
he will obey the leaders, or build up
the party A high officer in the navy IS

to order about his interiors in rank.
This is called bad politics. General
Hancock, a soldier, when a candidate
for the presidency, got out of the
traces. His memorable letter on the
tariff, published without the knowl-
edge of the leaders, put him into end
less trouble.

DECEASED LABOR.

Japanese will be wanted to cultivate |
the beet fields, and the growers would |
be glad to have Chinese as well. The
white labor on the Pacific coast, on the
whole, is the most debased in the
world. 1t comprises a class that roams
over the country wanting everything
but work"
The above language is represented in
the Bulletin to have been used by Mr..
Alexander Young, in an interview pub
lished on Friday.
While there is much truth in what
Mr.. Young says, and it is very ugly
truth, he must remember that nearly
all the white laborers on the Pacific
coast are American citizens and voters.
If the Advertiser had made this COM
ment, it would have aroused the hery
indignation of our Only Candidate and
his organ, who would have declared
that it was a wicked and unpatriouc
slur upon the Americans who are now
engaged in the business of expansion.
The States of the Pacific coast are
agricultural, and the majority OF the
people, about 100000 in all, are lab
Drers. Mr.. Young, no doubt, confines
his comments to the laborers for hire.
A declaration Of the kind quoted above,
Indicates that American civilization is
not what it should be, if it has moth
ing better to show in the development
of those magnificent States, which adj
Join the Pacific than this debased white
labor.
When Mr.. Young justly intimates
that the Chinese and Japanese labor
ers are more desirable on the soil OF
the Republic than American laborers
the Only Candidate will wrap himself
in the flag and charge Mr.. Young with
Insulting the bone and Sinew OF the
Pacific coast. Mr.. Young will be also
charged with being un-American, II
not reasonable.
Mr.. Young would make an excellent
governor of this territory, but he mas
by publicly stating some truths, Wnlcf
show that on the Pacific coast, we a
nation. are not making brilliant
success of the labor problem, put nm
self into the ranks of those whom Ih
Candidate must declare to be traitor
tn the flag. Besides, he has dlsquall
fed himself from holding the offlce, %
