To sum up, the Tigalo is in the stage of
imitation; the people who get him now will
either make him a success or a dire fail
ure. If the United States takes him quiet
ly, instructs him as it wishes him to go,
and does it kindly, he will obey implicitly,
and within generation will reach the in
ventive state, but woe to the government
who undertakes to boss with cuffs
and force. The story of Spain will be re-
peated-rebellfon after rebellion in the in
tericr country, bad blood and clashing o;
arms, with no commercial success: for the
Ell Dorado riches, the mines, the hard
woods every source of money-making, come
from just the country that these fellows
hold and always will unless extermi-
mated by an overwhelming force which
would, on its own side, lose many, as the
country is very blind one. So let us
hope Uncle Sam will decide to be lenient,
but firm and he will have the most pro-
ficient pupils of any colonial instructor in
the world say the best authorities on the

That a martial spirit has grown among
the Tigalos, and is continuing to grow, can
be seen by the most unobserving. During
the last moonlight the older boys Of about
twelve or fifteen got all the smaller children
of the Indian settlements together, and,
forming them in sets of fours with a Phil
ippine and American flag side by side have
marched them around the streets. l SUD-
pose there have been fifty of these little
bands of little folks playing soldier and
when some one would cry. Viva los Phil
ippinoS," the response that would come
back from their lusty little threats very
forcibly demonstrated that the pent-up en-
thusasm of several generations back was
about to let itself out in this age. They
would always finish their cheer with viva
los Americanos," and thereby showed a
trait of diplomacy rarely found in people
quite as young as they are.

not fit to govern themselves, and their lack

sidera be local prominence. that the re-
firing governor, Frank S. Black will enter
the law firm of Black, Olcott & Gruber and
become a permanent resident of this city.
1t is said that Governor Black had intended
to return to the practice of law in his
former office in Troy after leaving the ex-
ecutive chamber, but that his stanCh
friends, Olcott and Gruber. urged him so
perSIStently to come to this city that he
finally consented. There is considerable
gossip attached TO this change of ex-GOv-
ernor Black. Some politicians are alleged
TO see in the organization of the law firm
of Black. Olcott Gruber in New York
city not only an intention on the part of
Black to give political battle to Platt on his
own campground but also, as a lawyer, to
capture some of the corporation business
which Tracy, Boardman & Plat have had
in the past.
