nations regarded the proverb, ar least
in the choice OF horse, and there is
more Of sarcasm than wit or wisdom in
the saying. An Arab studied the points

But apart from the comparatively

WHO TFF FTLTPIHOs ARE.

So Tar from being negroes ana Soutn
Sea Island savages, as they are depicted
in the cartoons in American papers, the
FfIipinos are neither POIynesians nor
negroes, but the fourth branch Of the
proud and courtly Malay race, and
Manila is the most cultured city in the
east. The FilipinOs are a charming
and courteous race, ,doferential without
that cringiDg serFility 50 common in
the British Indian and other Asfatic
races, and, Furthermore, they are ex-
ceedingly polite and have all the quiet
ease and dignity Of the best bred
European or American.
As to the tractsbility Of the Filipinos
to government, it is pointed out that
they submitted to Spanish rule for 81
years, the islands being kept in order
By an average garrison Of 1000 men,
and they we're finally driven to revolt,
as the most civilized and enlightened
peoples have been, By intolerable
oppression. Having risen in arms in
August, 1896, they carried on the war
with much more humanity than did
the Spaniards, and displayed as soldiers
the qualities attributed to Philippine
troops BY Gen. Gordon when he com
manded them IN China: "Thsy are a
fine, sturdy body OF fellows, faithful
and long suffering, bearing herdships
without murmurs, plucky and never
losing heart in defeat, and considerably
superior to the japanese"
It Is reasoned that q people who are
courteous and refined IN peace and
brave in war will be found capable Of
appreeiatinR q good and reasonable
government, and that their attachment
to leaders in whom they have conf
dence will prove q valuable quality
when they happen to be well led The
FiIipinOs, so favorable in many traits,
have one serious fault, that being an
inorJinate love OF gambling, especially
fighting. This is certainly to be
regretted, bnt it has been observed
that the same passion has existed
among the most elevated nations. In
former days the high magnates Of the
British government gave their coun-
tensce to the prize ring, infinitely more
brutal than the cock pit, and at the
same period that were American states
men who occasionally put their money
on what thew believed to be the better
bird. These tastes became less com
mon in their manifestation with ad-
Vsnoiug civilization, which is fostered
by the continued experience Of centur-
les in the exercise Of free and constitu-
tionsl government.

Senator Harris Of Kansas, who is en-
Enthusiastically in favor Of the Nicaragua

has always displayed a laudable desire
to keep we'll informed on every subject
that comes before congress for consid-
GRAFTON, and in seeking ont the visiting
executive Of the small isthmus republic
to learn something new Of the canal
project, he is simply following his
usual cOstOm of assimulating all posi-
bic information on public questions.
Senator Harris is somewhat erratic in
his views on some subjects, but he is a
man whose sincerity and honesty are
above suspicion, and whose industry
and thorOughness in studying public
questions commend him to all men.

never elected a safer or more valuable

He has not permitted himself to sup

partisan purposes. He is in sympathy
with the progressive policy Of the
nation in international affairs, and is a
good representative Of the aspirations
and the real spirit Of the west.-K. c.
