our own soil, our wards, wha, few q,
them are lett. They never were, an
army controlled by Intelligent, ambi-
tious leaders demanding a government
OF their own. They were not handed
over to US by a foreign power as a re-
suit Of war. They were here before
America was discovered, by the mil
lions. When we won our Independence
1t was a victory of civilization. and tho
indians were running wild In the woods
making making war on settlers. and massacre
Ing the wives and children Of the: pio-
neers.
There Is no comparison whatever. It
was the march Of civilization westward
that exterminated the race, until now
the whole Indian population OF our vast
continent Is reduced. according to the
last census. to 1000. of which but
10000. or about rs per cent, are classed
as civilized. The remaining 100000 are
on reservations where they are being
educated and civilized as rapidly as pos
sible by government missionaries and
IN government schools. but under the
eyes of the military.
Under the circumstances the United
states cannot solve the Philippine Dues
ton In the manner it dealt with the
American Indians. 1t might do SO with
the unclvilized tribes after awhile but ii
must must f,rst crush the organized insurrec-
ton and get rid Of the scheming and
treacherous leaders.

! A Mistaken: "Auntic.u

The Boston papers continue to make
themselves ridiculous In their COM
ments on current events. One Of them,
whose fame Is national, wisely remarks
that the present stiffness of politics
Is driving many self-respecting men
IKE Reed and Johnson Into private life,"
The Boston journal-the Transcript-is
unfortunate In Its choice of examples.
Ex-speaker Reed was not driven into
private life. His resignation was pure
ly voluntary and he gave excellent rea-
sons aside from politics for his action,
1t was TO iacceptla position In life which
Is great deal better for his financial
future, and more to his natural taste
than the speakership Of Congress. He
had been reelected by his people.
: On the other hand. Mr.. Johnson, of
Indiana. may be said to have been
driven into private, life, but 1t was not
voluntary on his own part, nor through
his "self-respect." He desired renom-
ination to Congress, but his consttu-
ents refused to give 1t to him. They
did not approve OF his course, and who
but q representatives constituency, is
to render the verdict as to his continu-
ance in their service? The Boston
Transcript should select some other
statesmen to illustrate its polnt-if 1t
can, which we very much doubt.

BAKER. WHITE FEUD
Dates Back Many Years - The
"Womnn in the Case.

Whoever believing in the Gallo
adage. seeks tho woman" that nc
counts for the war tween the Ba-
kers and the Whites Mt Manchester,
Ky, will have to go back flfty-slx years
| to find her, and 1t is said that sone-
thing like 1000 graves for the filling Of
| which she Is more or less directly &C.
countable Will be crossed on the way
The feud that cost Tom Baker his life
the other day began In 1S43. when an
other Tom Baker, q promising young
doctor. moved with his wife from Vlr-
slnia to Kentucky, and settled In Clay
county Soon after his arrival he had,
or thought he had--nobody knows or
cares which, now--reason to be Jealous
of one John Bates. neighbor. So Or.
Baker used n shotgun or rifle-nobody
Is sure about that, either-on John
Bates. and the result was that as Bates
lay dying on the ground he cursed Ba-
ker and called upon the Whites to
avenge the murder. The doctor fled to
parts unrevealed. but he left behind
baby son, who was the father OF the
Tom Baker Just killed. From the crime
of the jealous husband there grew up
a widespread feud. At first involving
only two families and one town. 1t
spread through the mountains until
now 1t has many names and fills with
implacable enmity the members Of
scores of families. In Perry and Leslie
counties it Is known as the French-Ev-
ersole feud, In Harlan county as the
Howard-Turner feud. in Letcher county
as the Lee-Taylor feud, and in Clay
county as the Hownrd-B Baker feud.
They are all branches of the same evil
tree, and every one OF them Is green
and vigorous. Occasionally there Is
truce between this or that pair of fac
tions. but most of the time 1t Is bloody
war. A correspondent OF The Knox
Vile Journal says that no end of the
trouble is In sight. Tom Baker was a
Master Mason, and he shot VIII White
for reasons considered adequate by To-
cal opinion. His clan Is a numerous
one. having been augmented by immi-
grafton from Virginia as well as the
natural increase, while the Whites have
representatives in at least thirty noun
tain towns. Practically everybody In
the whole region Is ranged on one side
or the other, Yet the Knoxville Jour
nal's informant says: 'These are
peace-loving people. They are honest,
sturdy and Industrious. but Seem to
think they must avenge their own
wrongs. and under no condition will
they allow the law to take its course II
they kill their enemy"

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. JUNE 81. 1900.
s The Filipino Question Solved.

The Register suggests a solution of
the Philippine question, as follows:
!tWhy not arrange for an American
\ protectorate. see the native government
well established In business. under
proper guarantees. and then withdraw?
4 1t would be great many millions
cheaper, would save thousands Of good
American lives, and would be vastly
more honorable and more in accordance
with American traditions"
j, This Is able and statesmanllke, and
more notably because 1t is the first solu-
&tion of the problem Of government that
has been submitted to the President,
notwithstanding his repeated challenges
to the critics of the present policy, to
quit their denunciation and offer some
reasonable substitute. All clrcum-
stances considered,- however, our con-
temporary's suggestion Is good many
months too late. or too early. perhaps,
unless 1t can submit to the administra-
ton plans and specifications for the
carrying out the programme proposed
First, the Register must guarantee to
the government that the FllpInos will
consent to an American protectorate,
and to the American government es-
tablishment or supervision OF the form
alton Of a Filipino government, or agree
to give this government proper guar
antee" for the safety Of its interests and
the interests of other governments, and
the native population which has been In
sympathy whit our army, and DESTROYS
Of the protection Of the American flag.
These conservative propositions have
already been repeatedly rejected, and
the RegiSte" must convert AEuinaldo
and General Luna, not only to back 1t
up in its suggestion to Congress six
months in advance of the session, but
1t must give Congress and the President
every assurance thar these two rival
leaders will shake hands across the
bloody chasm that divides them and ac-
cept American protection. 1t must give
the United States proper guarantee"
that they will Jointly preserve peace and
order under harmonious native gov
.ernment," whilc they ars enjoying their
exclusive personal love feast
The Register must also give Its sacred
word that the violation of treaty
pledges and an abandonment OF all re-
sponsibilities to the mercy Of savage
warriors. who are inspired only by per-
sonal ambitions. will sustain the honor
and the good name Of the remainder OF
the world. We trust that, II the gov
eminent adopts the Registers wise
solution Of the vital question before the
American people and their statesmen
and soldiers. our contemporary will per-
sonally see TO it by exercise Of its wise
diplomacy. that the United States will
be spared from this disgrace.
