All or Mime.

Manila, Oct. Beyond question
there are only two courses for the A..
mericans to pursue in the Philippines;
namely, to take all or leave all. The
halfway measures which are reported
here as those which it is the Intention
Of the government at Washington to
pursue are fraught with the gravest
danger, if, indeed, they are net abso,
lutely impossible. They show ire
mendous failure on the part Of the
Washington authorities to comprehend
the real situation.
American aud Spanish joint occupa-
ton Of the Philippines will never be
possible. The fundamental notions of
the two peoples Of the proper functions
of government are almost Numerically
opposed and irreconclable, and an at
tempt at joint occupation would result
only in constant strife aud ultimate
American acquisition of the entire
group, but with the natives alienated
and rebellious instead Of being satisfied
and peaceful.
The situation in Visayas, as briefly
outlined in last weeks dispatches from
Iloilo, partly demonstrates this. The
Vsayas are on the lid of kettle that
lis already simmer:ng. The Panay
island insurrection is sweeping forward,
aud the natives in the islands of Sauna /,
Leyle and Cebu are simply waiting for
the events of the Paris commission.
They are all ready to accept American
rule without question, but are equally
ready to resist Spanish rnle.
1t is impossible that Spain can ever
again control the Philippines, and an
attempt on the part of the Americans
to Join her in controlling them would
only widen the field of the insurgents
operations. 1t would be disastrous and

IT the reports from Canton as to
the way Mrs. McKinley's brother,
George Saxton, treated Mrs. George,
the world can rejoice that it contains
one less scoundrel. In view of this
fact it is not to be wondered at that
the mayor of Canton proposes to de-
fend the woman and that the city
marshal fatty refused to sign an af-
fdavit charging her with murder.
Indeed, if publicly made statements
are true, she is no more murderess
than one who kills loathsome,
poisonous reptile that endangers his
life or happiness. This loathsome
wretch, according to the reports, was
standing menace to all that is good,
and true, and lovable in society and
it is we'll that the world is we'll rid of
him. The woman whose life he
wrecked is entitled to the sympathy
OF all who love cleanliness in society
and hold the marital relation sacred
beyond everything else.

missioner Jones says the Pillager In
dians, the ones engaged in the insur-
rection, number 1853 and were a
branch of the Chippewa tribe, which
were scattered over the country near
the scene oil the trouble. The Pila-
gers were well advanced in civiliza-
ton, were industrious farmers and
the crops they produced compared
favorably with those Of the whites in
that vicinity. They had hitherto
been peaceful, and the only expla-
nation he could give of the present
difficulties was that they were caused
by the whites. While the present
trouble was purely local, it was un-
doubtedly brought about by the prop
osition to remove the Pillagers from
Leech Lake to the White Earth res
ervation.
An item Of S35, 1000 was originally
carried by the last Indian appropria-
ton bill to pay the Indians for the
improvements on their property, but
was stricked from the bill before it
became law. Mr.. Jones thought
the Indians had been led to believe
they would be moved and would re-
ceive no pay for their improvements,
which was the beginning of their ill
feeling. As matter of fact, the In
dian bureau had no intention of trans
ferring the Pillagers at present.

Robert p. Porter ON Cuban AFFAIRS,
The New York Herald prints the
interview with special Com.
missioner Robert P. Porter, who was
sent to Cuba by President Mckinley to
make study of the industrial and e.
nancial conditions in the island in Or
der to lay the basis of new tariff regu-
lations:--
"The whole Cuban question just
now" said Mr.. Porter, sis CONNER
cial one. The political situation is of
minor Importance. What is impera.
lively needed now is such definite
settlement of affairs that work can be
resumed throughout the island, aud
the planter, the island, and the planter,
the manufacturers the banker and the
merchant may know just where they
stand, Now, the only way that this
eau be brought about is by the immed.
iateIadmission of food free and the adop.
ton Of reasonable tariff on hvery.
thing else. 1t will not do to wait for
the completion of the necessarily slow
process of the evacuation Of the island
by the Spanish troops. What is need
ed now that we should have control Of
the custom houses and get affairs On a
business basis just as fast as we can.
81 have gone into the question most
thoroughly, holding public sessions and
taking testimony on all sides. In the
course of my inquiry heard the testi-
mony Of $50 witnesses, and received in
addition upward OF 100 written state
ments.
First Of all we must get food aud
cattle Into the island, and this cannot
be done until the present productive
Spanish tariff is done away with.
"While it is probably true that the
original reconcentrados are all dead,
yet starvation is going on all over Gu
ba, and it is our plain duty to afford
immediate relief. The Spanish authors
tiles realized that food was beyond all
things necessary, and most short sight
eddy assumed that their best policy was
to lay heavy tariff on all food pro-
ducts. In this they were mistaken,
for their high tariff has had the effect
of checking importations and has only
increased the general distress.
The people simply cannot afford to
pay the outrageous tariff that is de-
manded, and, of course, all business is
at a standstill. If the Spaniards had
been wise they would have reduced
the tariff and would have profited enor-
mously. Everywhere there are rest
lessness and teverish anxiety that an
equitable arrangement snail be arrived
at.
Il am il formed that / have recently
been represented as convert to free
trade, and that is true in the sense
that | am believer in the Mckinley
tariff, which 50 far as the relations be.
tween Cuba and the United States are
concerned is practically free trade.
/ believe that arrangement will be
satisfactory to the Cubans and will be
mutally advantageous to them and to
us. The cry is everywhere Tor re-
storation Of the Mckinley tariff, under
which Cuba attained her greatest pros
perity, and the. repeal Of which was the
direct cause of the revolution and all
that the island has since suffered.

The biennial report Of the officers
of the state prison has just been Isl
sued. The directors in their report
say:
BY reason of the favorable contract
for the prison labor-72 cents per
day per man-and the large daily
average of prisoners employed by the
contractors-al the able bodied men
except the few reserved by the state
for other work-the institution has
been self. sustaining, notwithstanding
many demands for extraordinary ex-
penditures. They inclnde the install
lation of a larger steam power plant,
the introduction of an improved heat
ing system, provision for more ade-
quate protection against fire. the pur-
chase and erection of steam laun-
dry, ETC., all with a view to an in
creased efficiency of the prison labor
and management with the greatest
economy to the state in the future,
because of the permanency of the adj
ditions and improvements. :
The income of the prison, as shown
by the superintendent report, has
been S3922.94 over and above all ex-
penses of the institution during the
biennial period preceding the date of
this report. The total receipts for
convict labor were $53, 1882 6S. The
amount expended in improvements,
heretofore named, was ga and
there was paid discharged convicts,
under the law providing for their aid
and encouragement, $3252.
OF the appropriations made by the
last Legislature for the benefit of the
prison, but one has been expended,
viz $4,000 for the purchase of the
meadow IN the rear of the institution.
This is valuable addition to the
prison property, and will afford means
for reduction of some of the cur
rent expenses for the support of the
inmates of the prison.
