BROWN BROTHERS

The latest news from the Philippines
isn't as cheering as it might be. OF
course we can ultimately lick all our
little brown brothers into Christian civ
ilization or restful graves, but 1t is slow
business, and some of them don't seem
to know when they are licked. 1t APP

intrenched themselves at Angeles work
ing for several days, and impressing
non combatants into the work, thus
saving the armed men for the fighting.
They engaged Lieutenant Colonel
Smiths Twelfth regiment Of infantry
and the artillery warmly for four hours,
making one of the most stubborn resist
ances of the campaign. In the province
of Cavite, where i. was supposed the
insurgents had been scattered and de-
morallzed beyond recuperation, they
have assembled an army of several
thousand men, distributed among the
important towns, from the lake to the
bay. And the American troops have
been withdrawn from all that part of
the country which was half-cleared of
insurgents in the expedition of the
Americans in June last, and the insur-
gents have returned to San Mateo,
which was abandoned for the third time
after it's recent capture.

II is intolerable that a few little brown
men fighting for what they are pleased
to call independence should keep us
stirred UP much longer.

| That is curious talk which comes from
Chicago to the effect that the Demo-
cratic national committee is consider
| ing the advisability of holding the DEM
ocratic national convention two or three
months earlier than in former years. 1t
is said that a meeting of the committee
is to be held in October or November,
after Senator Jones comes home from
Europe, to discuss the question. 1t Is
not considered improbable that the con-
vention will be called to meet in Febru-
airy. Some of the committeeman and
Democratic leaders are in favor of hold
ing the convention to nominate a ma
tional ticket as early as February. 9th
ers favor holding the convention in May
or June. The advocates of a February
convention contend that it will be nee
essary to place the national ticket in the
field and adopt platform as early as
February or March in order to perfect
organization and bring together the
fighting factions in the party. They
declare that 1t will be possible to re-
unite the party and bring solid organ
ization to the polls in November If the
convention is held in February. The
committeeman who oppose the early
convention movement declare that the
Philippine situation will be unsettled at
that time. They say it will be physical
ly impossible for the administration to
end the war on the Island of Luzon by
February, and therefore no one will be
able to predict what the situation viii
be in May or June.
1t is to be hoped that the talk about
an early convention will turn out to be
only talk. There will be altogether too
much politics next year if the campaign
opens earlier than usual.

GERMANY AND LAKE KIVU.

A question has arisen between Ger
many and the Congo State on the sub
| iect of Lake Kivu and the adjacent re-
gion, which may give rise to impor-
tant developments. Communications
with that remote spot of Central Afri-
ca, whether from the side Of the Congo
or from that Of German East Africa,
take several months in transit, so that
important events may have occurred
since the latest dispatches, which in
their principal details are derived from
German official sources. These bring
the grave and somewhat disturbing in
formation that a German force has
crossed the map frontier Of the Congo
State, established a post on the eastern
shore of Lake Kivu, and asserted the
imperial authority down to the marshy
stream, called the Rusisi, viii h con-
meets Lakes Kivu and Tansanyika
The German authorities justify the
steps they have taken on the following
grounds: During the late Batetela
mutinies the state posts at Lubenga
and Luahilimta, both being situated on
the eastern shore of Lake Kivu, We're
captured and burned by the mutineers,
some of whom are alleged to have COM
mitted outrages within the German
frontier. In consequence of these Incl
dents the Germans claimed that the
state occupation of the district east of
Kivu was not effective" and as soon
as the Batetelas had marched south

district over which the Congo State had
been momentarily compelled to relax
its grasp. The congo State is naturally
not disposed to waive it's rights in the
matter, and a strong and well-equipped
force of five hundred men, under the
command of Commandant Hennebert
and eight white officers, left Stanley
Vile some time ago for the purpose of
restoring the stations on Lake Kivu
AT the present moment the armed rep
resentatives Of the two states are in
presence of each other.
Lake Kivu did not figure on the map
at the time of the Berlin conference in
1SS4-5. 1t was discovered in 1884 by
the German traveller, Count Won Gotten,
during his remarka BILE journey across
Africa from east to west. Its geogra-
phical position is undeniably within the
limits assigned to the Congo State by
the supplementary arrangement made
at Berlin in 1895, and all Count Won
Gotten says in his book on the subject
Is an oracular sentence to the effect
that the exploration of the southern
part of Lake Kivu will become neces-
sary the day when the limits between
the Congo State and German East At
RIGA have to be fixed in a definite fash
ion In this connection it should be
noted that there have up to the present
been no deliminations Of frontier be-
tween the Congo State and German ter
ritory In East Africa, such as have
taken place in France. The boundary
remains as defined in 1885 at Berlin
viz, "the thirtieth parallel from the
first degree twenty minutes of south
latitude, and thence by an imaginary
straight line drawn from the point Of
intersection of the thirtieth degree of
east longitude with q parallel of one
degree twenty minutes of south lati-
tude to as far as the northern eXtremi-
ty of Lake Tanganyika." 1t is indis-
putabe that Lake Kivu lies west of
that imaginary line, yet Germany now
claims its eastern shore--the Rusisi
and the median line of the lake to serve |
as a boundary If the matter cannot |
be arranged amicably on the spot or
between the two governments, 1T APP |

of Article 10 of the Berlin act, which |

PATERNALISM IN CHICIGO.

| The free State employment bureaus
| established in Chicago under the new
| law have not been in operation very
| long, but they have been in operation
| going to work as well as some thought
| they would. The superintendent of
| one of them has already become con-
WINGED that the patrons of his place are
| not very eager for work. Numerous
applications for help have been filed,
but the work does not seem to suit
those who have no visible means Of
support In his bill of grievances
against the applicants for work the SUI
perintendent relates among other things
the fact that three men whom he sent
out to do withdrawing at $3.50 per
day refused the jobs because their de-
mand for $2.75 was not acceded to. The
offer of SITE per day and free trans
portation from an Iowa railroad also
failed to be sufficiently alluring to
tempt able-boded men away from Chi
cago. But such problems as these are
not half so puzzling to the superintend-
ent as the servant girl question. The
bureau has plenty of applications for.
places, but is unable to supply the de-
mand for help. The references of the
housewives as to character and re-
spectablity are doubtless unsatsfac-
tory.
The experience of this superintendent
seems to the Chicago Times Herald to
amply demonstrate the inadequacy Of
the new law. 1t says: The man-out
of-a-job in 1899 is not looking for white
washing contracts at $3.50 per day or
railroad at $I.io per day. Ii the state
is to be of any service to these men it
must find places for them as bank
cashiers or tioorwalkers in the depart

Boston is great in improving others,
but she doesn't attend to herself as we'll
as she might. Eight years ago the bu-
reau of labor statistics made a tene-
ment house census Of Boston. Part of
the same territory has recently been
canvassed by students Of Boston uni
versity and Wellesley college, and the
results are published in the labor bulle-
tin just issued by the bureau Com
parison with the 1891 findings does not
reveal any great improvement in condi-
lions. Indeed, the crowding is little
more marked now than it was then.
Thus in what is called the north sec
ton, the average number of persons per
room was 1877 in 1891 and 1.39 in 1885,
The density averages are higher in
nearly every class of tenements now
than in 1891. Still it appears that the
general condition of the people of the
tenements has slightly improved, the
percentage occupying tenements classed
as bad being smaller than it was seven
years previously. The students found
that the bath tub was little known
among the tenement population, only
90 per cent. of the population canvass
ed in the north section having access to
a bathroom.

by the Queen, whereas at one time the

five hundred swans. In olden days it
was considered a high privilege to keep
swans, and heavy punishments were in

The Salt Lake Herald says that the
Mormon church revenues from titl1es
alone were 100000 in the year ending
December 1 last, one-third of the
amount being cash, and two-thirds pro-
duce, which was distributed to the poor
or paid as salaries to church employees.
For the present year it expects large
increase, it's estimate being $500, 900
cash and 100000 in produce. Two
years ago President Snow could not
borrow any money from local or East
ern banks, and an issue of $1,000
twenty-year bonds was made, every
bond being taken and the interest duly
paid. President Snow now predicts
that the bonds will all be redeemed
within five years.
