NATIVE ~AUXILlARIES,

The proposition that our government
shall enlist natives in the new posses
sions for military service. to be under
the command of American officers. Is
likely to receive attention at the coming
session of congress. The fact Is recog-
nized that If the United States Is COM
PEELED to maintain large forces In Cuba
and the Philippines it will be very diff
cult to secure volunteers in this country
for the service. Most of those who are
now In those islands are anxious to re-
turn and 1t Is to be expected that when
peace Is concluded there will be a very
vigorous demand from them and their
friends that they be mustered out Of the
service. They enlisted for two years
or the war and 1t will be urged that
the war being over they should be re.
leased from military duty. There can
be no doubt that a call for men to 60
to Cuba or the Philippines would meet
with a very slow response.
Such being the case the question OF
enlisting natives of Cuba and the Phil
ippines for military service is certainly
worthy of consideration. AS to Cuba
there would probably be little difficulty
In doing this. Doubtless most Of the
Omaha daily bee., 1898-11-29

men who have been fighting %Spaniards
in the island and who have learned to
like the life of n soldier would readily
enlist in the service Of the United
States. But It might not be found so
easy to secure native soldiers In the
Philippines, particularly IL they were
to be required to fight their W people.
The Fillpinos, Of the class that would
be acceptable as soldiers, are different
from the Cubans, who generally like
the life of a soldier. The Malays. under
capable officers, would doubtless make
good soldiers, but they are innately
%treacherous and would have to be sub
jected to the sternest discipline. Eng
land has been successful in employing
native troops in India, but 1t required
long effort to attain success and the
United States can hardly follow the ex'
ample Of England in this matter. But
1t may become imperatively necessary
that we shall use native troops in the
new possessions.
Omaha daily bee., 1898-11-29
COLORADU'S GOLDEN HARVEST.

1t Ia estimated that Colorado will this
year produce gold to the value of So
100000. The Denver Times of last Sat
urday contains a statement Of the pro-
duction Of the precious metals in
the state for seven years, begin
ming with 1892, showing a steady
increase in the yield Of gold. In 1892
the value Of the yellow metal mined
in Colorado was S., 539,O21 and last year
1t was $%10,579,637. The commercial value
Of silver produced in 1892 was SIT, 1874,
944 and last year it was So, co., 44S.
The Times figures the total increase In
the production of gold for a period of
six years at $53,O21, 379, while the total
decline in the production of silver for
the same period has been $50. 949, 644-
the excess Of increase of gold owe de.
crease of silver being $32, ST. 1876.
These figures fully justify our Denver
contemporary in declaring that Colorado
is experiencing good times and In tax.
ing q most hopeful view of the future.
Still it says that there are papers and
people In Colorado "who cannot see the
bright light Of the present or the
brighter star of the future" They
know times are better. bur have not the
courage to say 1t, because 1t might de
stroy their capital stock. which Is pol
tiles. The Times. however, makes the
reassuring statement that the people are
tired and disguised with the leaders
Of the past and will seek new mes tina
will point them to still better dimes
With such golden harvests Colorado /,
strangely out Of place among free silver
states.

Every development in the famous

Every development in the famous
Dreyfus case presents some new phase
of French judicial procedure which ap-
pears strange to people in this land.
After months of isolation and when the
rehearing of his case Is we'll under way
the prisoner is allowed to send the first
communication to his faithful wife and
this is limited to the statement tIAt he
Is we'll and in good cheer. The criminal
jurisprudence Of France Is built on a
foundation the exact opposite of that in
English-speaking countries. The mo-
ment n criminal charge is preferred the
man is presumed guilty and must dis.
prove that presumption beyond question.
The entire power Of the state is set in
motion to crush him. Witnesses can be
compelled to testify against him, but no
unwilling witness need appear in his be.
half. This is called justice in France
In the closing days of the nineteenth
century.
Omaha daily bee., 1898-11-29

The opponents to annexation in South
Omaha consist Of only two classes, the
oficeseeking politicians and the liquor
dealers. These people are naturally de-
voted to their own selfish interests as
against the interests of the general body
Of citizens and taxpayers. The cheap
politicians see in the abolition of a sepa-
rate city government the extinguishment
Of a batch of lucrative jobs which they
hold or hope to hold. The liquor deal
ers see in it an increase of the annual
license fee from $500 to $1,000. The In
crease in the annual license fee, how.
ever, cannot possibly be STAYED OIL
longer than the PRONUNCIATION of the mex
census returns in 1900. There is nc
good reason therefore why an anneXa
ton treaty cannot be devised to go into
effect prior to the census enumeration
without a~ntagOnizing any but the poll,
| ticians and spOilsmen.

A Year of Prosperity.
Bradstreet's Review.

- r.. o. q y
Those valuable measures Of business
progress, bank clearings and railroad earn
ings, point to aggregate transactions in
excess OF all previous records, while returns
of export trade prove that this country
has maintained first place as a surplus food
providing nation. The American manufac-
turer is to be congratulated on the progress
he has made in placing the country in the
front rank as an exporter of finished prod
ucts in competition with the most pro.
g~ressive and skillful Of European nations.
The value OF an adequate foreign outlet has,
perhaps, been best proved by the history
Of the rise Of the United States as an ex-
porter of goods which, but a few years ago,
it was importing in large quantities. The
settlement OF this country's merchandise
balances has caused a movement htther OF
gold surprising all previous yearly records,
adding to the country's resources unprece-
dented quantities Of the great circulating
medium. In nearly all lines Of industry
labor has been actively employed at re-
munerative wages, and the output Of most
Of the country's industries has surpassed all
records.
