Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1899-11-10

From the Boston Transcript: A
curious bond of sympathy between
some of the people in these United
States and one Of the Philippine tribes
has been discovered by California
soldier, who tells his Luzon experiences
in the pages of the Overland Monthly,
When the Ygreto chief, badly wounded
in the February fight. was recovering
from his hurts in our hospital in Ma.
Mia, one of the soldiers who knew the
Cherokee language, thought he recog'
nized in the Ygreto's talk words that
bore striking resemblance to Cher
okee. He tried the chief with few
sentences in Cherokee, with the result
that the two soon readily understood
one another and became very good
friends. AS the California thinking

GOOD AMERICANS WANTED.

from the government, and the host of
government officials at the capital
have, until lately, been doing little
more than fleece the people and draw
their salaries. The department of pub
lie works has been costing Porto Rico
in salaries alone $4,000 in Porto Rican
currency, the courts and department
of justice have been receiving 100000,
and other things in proportion. The
priests up to the beginning of the
American occupation were paid out of
the government treasury, annually re-
ceiving $4,000 from that source, and
this Notwithstanding they charged
such high fees for marriages that
many people were unable to afford the
ceremony.
l am surprised at the hazy ideas
which many hold as to our possession
Of Porto Rico. Some do not realize
that it is now and for all time part
of the United States. 1t is as much
a part of the Union as Massachusetts,
or California, and the time may come
when it will be one of the most i'm
portant parts Of the country. We
should consider the island as an out
lying defense or fertilization. 1t will
be one of our chief military and naval
stations, and will be one of the bases
Of operations in the defense of the Gulf
Of Mexico and of any canal across the
Isthmus of Panama. We have already
a naval station upon it, and have set
aside large territory on the Bay of
San Juan for navy yard. AS a sta
ton of this kind it is important that
the island should be essentially Amer
lean in all of it's interest. Its people

Dark Light.

In Science Franchise M. LIE Bon
shows how, by the aid Of a petroleum
lamp, it is possible to render objects
visible, even though concealed by
Opaque coverings-in fact, to realize the
marvels of the K rays by a simple ap-
paratus. A lamp gives off two sorts
of light. One is clear and luminous.
The other is non-luminous and invis-
ible, which he terms dark light, and
which, like the x rays, is capable of
piercing opaque substances. Accord
ing to M. LIE Bon, there are really no
opaque bodies: all substances are trans
parent; but our being blind to the
lumiere noire. or dark light. we fail to
recognize tails translucency. He de-
scribes an experiment by which news
paper is read by means Of light which
has passed through sheet-iron.

Four specimens were found at Ke.-

ON Heard island there were strewn
thousands OF skeletons. "The bones
lay in curved lines, looking like tide
lines, on either side Of the plain above
tn beaches, marking the rookeries OF

mems which were preserved on board

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
And Found Brother Whom He Had
Never Seen.


Chicago Inter Ocean: Charles Ray
mond, Is years old, was the guest OF
honor at an informal banquet held at
the Palmer house the other evening,
given by brother whom he had never
seen until that day. The boy ran
away from the home of his brother-in'
law, Rev. William Wright, a Method
list minister of MusKegon, Mich, be-
cause he could not by reason Of his rel'
ative's itinerant habits gain the educa'
ton to which he thought he was en-
titled. When he had purchased his
ticket by boat to Chicago the lad had
so cents left, which he spent the first
day after his arrival. Rev. Mr.. Wright
came to Chicago in search of the boy,
and notified the police, but no trace OF
Charlie could be found. Meantime the
lad, after passing twenty-four hungry
hours, had secured employment in a
Clark street cigar store. He knew that
his brother David, who had run away
from their home in Trenton, Ont, sew
enteen years ago, was a travelling
salesman for an eastern jewelry con-
Germ, and that he made his home In
Elgin, and thither he sent letter. AL
though David Raymond had never
seen his younger brother, the boy hav-
ing been in Michigan on the occasion
Of his last visit to Trenton, he imme-
diately sought out the boy at his place
of employment, and Charley trans
ferred his quarters from a cheap
lodging house to the Palmer house.
David Raymond invited a score OF
friends to his room to see the night
parade, and incidentally to toast the
future Of his adventurous relative.

A GOVERNMENT JOB.
Re often saps the Energy of Its Holder
and Induces Lsxiness.

and Induces Laxiness.
The narcotic effect Of government
employment is notorious, says the
Chicago Journal, but as in other cases,
the victim Of the sedative habit does
not believe and can not realize Its
power until too late. There Is a GER
tain fascination to the old and hard
ened to watch the young struggle
against their fate. The same sensa-
tions. may be secured by observing tho
operations of sheet of fly paper. The
victim Is foot loose" and Is looking
around for favorable opening. In
the meantime, it seems desirable to
have some temporary Judgment
standing room, as it were-until tho
delayed opening appears. So the ny
steps into the soft government stick
UNI. At first it does not seem SO bad,
and 1t is only when he feels his feet
sinking that he desires to quit. But
this he finds is not easy. He pauses
and begins to cast about for a little
leverage or way to wade out. In
the operation he tangles up another
member or two. By this time he sus-
poets that the danger is serious, and
buzzes frantically. The result is the
same, and while he Is resting from the
exertion he tangles up one wing. The
other waves for while, the emblem
of disappointed and hopeless ambi-
ton, now and then buzzing about thu
time to come when he will quit the
government fly paper and enter bust,
ness or profession. Then he rents q
larger house and his wife takes few
friends to board. His body is sub
is in the government service for life.
AS secretary of the civil service COM
mission Mr.. Doyle has had opportunity
to observe the number of government
employees who leave the service for
other occupations and then return to
It,, "A few years ago." said Mr.. Doyle,
my attention was called to man BY
the excellence of the examination
which he passed. He secured the place,
but after year or so he resigned. He
had saved money and was going to
Yale college. After four years I heard
he had graduated and was studying
law. Then l heard he had been ad-
mitted and had gone to New York to
practice. And Just the other day." he
continued, "the man came in and made
application to take the examination for
his old place in the department"

ward everything American. These 80
per cent form the working classes. The
other 10 per cent are the property own
ers and the governing class. They are
Spanish in feeling and education, and
it is they who wish to keep the Span
ish language in the schools. l think
this Is a mistake. The Spanish Ian
guage and literature are the key to
Spanish thought and ideas, the very
things we want to get rid of. Nothing
but English should be taught, and
English should be made the language
of the people just as soon as possible
If Spanish were kept out of the schools
this would be accomplished in a very
few years. The young Porto Ricans
would become Americans in spirit and
ideas; they would probably be the
most intensely patriotic Of our people.

What is the first specimen Of the
true sea elephant to be killed in
twenty-five years has just been bagged
on the Falkland islands. Its conquer
or photographed the rare beast, and the
picture with this article is a reproduc-
ton of it. These huge and strange
sea beasts once were extraordinarily
plentiful in the South Pacific, but per-
sistent and RELENTLESS hunting has prac-
tically exterminated them and they al
ready are among the rarest Of beasts.
The sea elephant is much larger than
the sea lion and gets his name on &C
count of the curious proboscis, which
resemble an elephants trunk in every
thing except in length. The man who
killed this monster is James Smith of
Stanley in the port Of Stanley in the
islands. He describes the successful
hunt as follows:
"The animal now is very scarce, this
being, l believe, the only grown one
that has been killed on the island in
twenty-five years. One was seen on
the north coast about a year ago, but
it has not been seen or heard of since.
While hunting sea lions on a small
island about fourteen miles southeast
of Stanley, few months ago, killed
what l thought were two seals. They
were about seven feet long and looked
peculiar. Now l know that they were
young sea elephants. The fellow that
I killed first appeared about one hun
bred yards east of the settlement.
Later he hauled up on the beach and
Topped around above high-water mark.
"He made no attempt to leave the
beach until he had been disturbed sew
eral times by my tapping him on the
trunk. At first he only opened his
mouth to the full extent; latterly he
raised himself on his four fiippers and
swung his afterpart round, thus turn
ing his head toward the water;
after this, by placing his fore
