The New York City Democracy. rep
resented by Mr.. Croker, has, through
its leader, given out that the Democ-
racy Of New York City, which is Mr..
Croker, will antagonize the Republican
party by assailing it's acquisition policy.
Which is to say that Richard Croker
is ''forninst' the Republican party,
and thus the expected is about to hap
pen. But we apprehend that Mr..
Croker, who claims to be the New York
City Democracy, will find whole host
Of straight-out Democrats who will re-
sent his dictation at this point, and
will line up on the question Of acQuisi-
ton with the Administration Repub-
licans. Just as we must frankly ad-
nit will happen on the other hand,
namely, a lining up Of many old Re-
publicans along with the anti acquisi-
tionists. But in such a situation Mr..
Croker will find that there will be
small call for the exercise of his Pc
culiar and undoubted abilities. This
is going to be a fight of an order with
which that distinguished manipulation
is wholly unacquainted.

NEW LIGHT ON THE FILIPINos.

H. w. Bray, a correspondent OF the
New York Independent" has long
been a resident of Singapore. AS such
he has had good opportunity to ascer-
tain the truth about the Filipinos and
to make a study of the race-at least
it is so claimed for Mr.. Bray He de-
clares that there is a great deal or
misinformation and misconception con-
erning that people. The most OF the
information given out about the ISL
anders to correspondents, he says, is
cram" which interested and ignorant
Europeans have filled the ambitious
writer's with, they themselves having
had no opportunity since the Ameri-
can occupation to make a study OF the
race.
Mr. Bray asserts that so far from be-
ing negroes and coarse South Sea ISL
anders, the Filpinos are neither
the fourth branch of the proud and
courtly Malay race. This branch, he
points out, comes Of proud line, and
is not to be mentioned in the same
hour with the mixture of Chinese and
semi-savage fellows who are apt to
fall under the observation of corre-
spondents more than the retiring, dig
nified, yet modest, Filipinos.
He insists that they are charming,
courteous, unsuspicious, deferential
race, but devoid of slavishness, servile
cringing or of cunning art to- win favor.
In short, they have not the deceitful
and snaky characteristics of some
Asiatic, British Indian and other races,
but are frank, confiding, proud, ex-
ceedingly polite and hospitable, and
have native grace and refinement that
might shame some Europeans.
AS to the city of Manila, he looks upon
it as one of the fairest and most at
tractive cities of the hemisphere. Mr..
Bray thinks that the F'ilipinos present
material out of which excellent citi-
zenship may be carved, and that they
are capable of government under
wise guardianship during the minority
of such an effort on their part, since
they have long been under the infiu-
ence and cow of Spanish cruelty, mis-
rule and incapacity.

Russian Marriages by Order.

Marriages by order were so common
that among our servants, each time a
young couple foresaw that they nigh.
be ordered to marry, although they
had no mutual inclination for each
other, they took the precaution of
standing together as godfather AMI
godmother at the christening Of q child
in one of the peasant families. This
rendered marriage impossible, accord
ing to Russian church law. The STRAIT
agem was usually successful, but once
it ended in a drama. Andrei the tai
lor, fell in love with a girl belonging
to one of our neighbors. He hoped that
my father would let him go free as a
tailor, in exchange for a certain yearly
payment, and that by working hard at
his trade he could manage to lay some
money aside to buy freedom for the
girl. Otherwise, in marrying one Of my
fathers serfs she would have become
the serf of her husbands master.
However, as Andrei and one of the
maids of our household foresaw that
they might be ordered to marry. they
agreed to unite as godparents in the
christening of child. What they had
feared happened; one day they We're
order was given.
I'VE are always obedient to your
WILL" they replied, "but a few weeks
ago we acted as godfather anu god
mother at a christening" Andrei also
explained his wishes and intentions.
The result was that he was sent to
the recruiting board to become sol
dier.
Military service in those times was
terrible. 1t required man to serve
twenty-five years under the colors, and
the life of a soldier was hard in the
extreme y Blows from the SER
geant and the officers, fogging with
birch rods and with sticks, for the
slightest fault, were the normal state
of affairs. The cruelty that was dis
played surpassed all imagination. -
Thus Andrei had now to face for
twenty-five years the terrible fate of
soldier; all his schemes of happiness
had come to violent end.-Prince Kro-
potkin in Atlantic Monthly.

Every argument advanced by the
nti-acquisitionists against retention OF
the Philippines carries with it, of neces-
sity, objection of equal force to reten-
ton of Porto Rico, over which Spain
has relinquished all sovereignty, and
from which she has removed her civil
and military Government and officials.
But who is there in all this broad land
day who would favor return of Porto
Rico to Spain? What sort of a citizen
is he who would now extend an invita-
ton to the Queen Regent to re-estab-
lish her dominion over the island, and
direct the Federal Government to with
draw from that which we have for
nearly a century been striving to secure
"a station on the far east side of the
West Indies?

In the bills already introduced Tor
reorganization of the army and modi-
fication of the methods of the War De-
partment, there is no provision for
general staff. Yet there is no subject
upon which the opinions Of trained mill
itary men are so unified. It may be
said that the army to a man is desir-
Gus of the establishment of such an
arm of service. It has been tested for
200 years, nearly. in Europe, and is
conceded on all sides to be the secret
of economic and successful military

CHINESE FRAUDS.

Santa Rosa Republican,: On a num-
Der of occasions the past few years we
have mentioned the weakness of our
system of managing public funds. We
have shown the strain on our financial
system that comes from the boarding of
public funds, as now required in Cali
fornia. We have also mentioned the
expense of shipping vast sums of money
to the State Capitol and afterward re-
turning most of the same to the several
counties According to the report just
submitted by State Treasurer Green,
there is an expense of not less than
$3.50. 900 per year; for this service alone.
There is no excuse for this expense.
Only balances should be sent after ap-
pcrtionnents have been made on re-
ports placed in the hands of the State
officers
There is no sense in the boarding of
public funds. No argument should be
required to establish this fact. Hoarded
money is idle when it should be giving

MIR. EARNWELL'S COMPLAINT.
Charges That Honey Locust Trees At.
tract Objectionable Crowds.

Mr.. r. Grant Barnwell of 1904 W street
recently requested the District Commission.
ers to cause the removal of several honey
his premises.
AT this season of the year." wrote Mr..
Barnwell, these trees attract large crowds
of negroes. who swarm from the alleys far
and near. armed with cobblestones bricks,
clubs, rocks and blocks of wood With
these dangerous missiles the black urchins
pelt the trees for the purpose of shaking
down the sweet beans. endangering the
windows of neighboring houses and the
lives of passing pedestrians. Besides the
assembling of these gangs of negroes at all
hours OF the day, particularly on Sundays,
is an intoicrable nuisance and makes the
neighborhoHd disreputabe AS the police
department appears to be entirely incompe-
tent to deaf with the matter l have the
honor to request. the only remaining
method of abating the nuisance, that you
cause the trees in question to be cut down"
The complaint was referred to Mr. Tru-
man Lanham, the superintendent of park
ing, who has reported that the tree in
front of Mr.. BarnWelrs premises is a young
one with only a few pods on it: that the
older trees on the street are full of the
bean pods and are objectionable No more
OF these trees are being planted states Mr.
Lanham. who thinks it inadvisable to re-
move the trees, as requested, as there are
several hundred of them and some of them
are quite large. He suggests that the at
tention of the police department be called
to the matter of the throwing of missiles
into the trees.
The recommendations of Superintendent
Lanham have been approved by the Com
missionerS.

FRIENDLINESS OF BRAZIL,
Secretary of Legation Dawson Speaks
of Evidences of the Feeling.


of Evidences of the Feeling.
Thomas c. Dawson, first secretary of
the United States legation in Brazil, is in
Washington on his annual leave. He is a
guest of Controller Dawes of the treasury.
Mr.. Dawson had much to do with the ne
gotiations with Brazil which ended in that
country selling to the United States the
cruisers Amazonas and Admiral Abreau,
the former of which is now the New Or
leans.
Mr.. Dawson said to a representative Of
The Star today that during the war with
Spain Brazil was exceedingly friendly to
the United States. doing many things which
this government appreciated. The Oregon
and Marietta, for instance, were allowed
to stay in a Brazilian port for five days
and obtained coal without trouble. The
time allowed them was badly needed.
Speaking of the affairs of Brazil Mr..
Dawson said: "Campossalles, the foremost
statesman of Brazil, was elected president
of that country in March last and will be
inaugurated the 18th of November. He is
from the great state of San Paulos, and is
one of the most brilliant men of South
America After his election he went to
Europe and studied affairs in that coun-
try, especially financial methods. He rep
resents the moderate republican element,
and it is believed that under his guidance
Brazil will grow. Finances are already i'm
proving ana the OUTLOOK Is more nODo1ul.
CampoSsalles is said to be a man of a
tactful and concilatory nature much like
President Mckinley. His fairness is said
to be winning the imperialists out of their
retirement, causing them to take an in
terest in the affairs of the government.
For years they have secluded themselves
and have kept away from participation in
governmental matters. AS they possess
brains and practically all the wealth of
the country, their return is looked upon
fayorably.
The outlook is said to be good that Cam
possalles will try to establish frmer finan-
cial laws. The bane of Brazil is the un-
limited amount of paper money in circua-
tion. There is little gold in the country
and proportionate amount of silver to
the paper money. Nearly all the admins
trations have issued loads of paper money
when they found themselves in a strin-
gency, and the result has been disastrous.
MIR. Dawson did not care to discuss the
prospective war between Chile and Argen-
tire but 1t is said that all South America
expects a war between the two countries.
The people of both Chile and Argentine
are bent on war, and preparations for a
sanguinary struggle are going on daily.
Reports that Brazil will side with Chile are
said to be erroneous, although the sympa-
thy of the people of Brazil is with the
Chileans. 1t is thought that Brazil would
remain neutral, unless her rights were
trampled on by or the other of the
countries taking part in the struggle.

ARIZONA's CLIMATE.
Mr. Harry Chapman's Views of It's
Hea1th-Giving Quality,

Nh Harry NJ Chapman. son Of Rev. VIM.
II. Chapman, pastor of Gorsuch NJ. E.
Church Of this city, who left here last No
vember for Phoenix, Ariz., to escape the
rigors of the winter and to try the climate
as cure for bronchial trouble, with which
he has been affected for over four years,
writes to friend that he is rapidly recov-
ering and by next spring will be entirely
cured.
Speaking of the climatic conditions of
the country and the possibility of persons
suffering from throat and lung diseases re-
ceiVins any benefit by going there in time,
he says:
ut is most assuredly the best and only
place in the world where consumption
taken IN its incpient stages can be cured
The air here is SO pure and dry that any
body OF ordinary physical endurance can
sleep out in the open air for at least six
months in the year, and receive no bad
ehects therefrom. Some can remain out
doors eight months and some live outdoors
the whole year round. To one not accus-
toned to this habit in the east IT seems
queer, and very strange the first time YOU
rE II. pGt as everybody does it-men and
women alike-and it is so beneficial to in
Valids, especially. II does not take very
long 10 get accustomed to it.
'One very sad feature of the place Is that
so many SICK people come here when it is
too late to receive any benefit their disease
being beyond cure. This fact is yerv in
curious To the town. because so MANY Deo-
pie who come are very poor and have only
enough means to pay room and board for n
lew weeks, thus expecting the charitably-
disposed people Of Phoenix to assist them
when their income is exhausted The peo-
pie mere do their part nobly and MANY in
vaEds who die here receive a decent burial
but IL IS an injustice to impose on these
good-hearted people in this way. and hence
great pressure is brought to bear upon the
whole country by our merchants physt-
clans and newspapers not to think of send
ing the sick here To be cured who have
only few months to 1--we for they had
better be home. surrounded by loved ones
and friends who can give them every care
and attention during their last days of i'll
ness
Physicians used to send their patients
TO Florida and California for the cure of
consumption and throat troubles. but the
results have proved that those places are
entirely too damp. and now they all Join in
sending them to Arizona. Some prefer
Tucson 10 Phoenix. but the conveniences in
Phoenix are much greater than Tucson and
the altitude less and food cheaper
Phoenix is a town of over T. 900 inhab-
itants. and nearly every business known
TO trade Is conducted here. The people are
friendly and charitable. and as the town
mas never experienced a BOOM IL is won
derful TO note what a fine city has been
built up simply by steady growth"
