The men who know the Filipinos
best are the first to speak of their
courage and their independence.
Not possessing these qualities they
would never have fought Spain all
these years and continued their
struggle against the United States
government. Though Gen. Law
ton, who was killed within thirteen
miles of Manila, was doing his duty
as a soldier in the work of subjuga-
ting the Filipinos, he is rep orted to
have said to an officer of the Mime
sofa volunteers:
"Before coming here | believed
that the Filipinos were much like
our American Indians. / am much
surprised to find so many evidences
of culture and enlightenment here III
the interior. One thing is certain
it won't do to treat these people as if
they had no rights"
This is quite as authentic as any
utterance attributed to Gen. Lawton.
There are number of interesting
things awaiting action by our hon
orable state officials as soon as the
holidays are over and the new year
the closing year OF the nineteenth
century-is we'll under way. One
is the little matter of railroad
crossing at White River Junction,
which has more than local interest j;
travellers from neighboring states
and from far-away states are not
exempt from the perils that beset
the resident pedestrians at dam
gerous crossing. A recent accident
there stirred up matters almost to
the point OF official action. A clam
orous demand was made on the state
railroad commissioners that some
thing be done for the safety of the
) 1900 people who daily find perilous
delight in lodging the locomotives
that add so much to the pleasure and
, excitement of life at that hourishing
railroad center. The railroad COM
missioners appointed day for
hearing of accumulated grievances,
but the meeting was postponed in
definitely and the matter has not
been much talked about of late.
Another meeting will be called and
perhaps again be postponed, but the
commissioners, we must believe, are
thinking and thinking all the time,
considering every side of the ques-
ton, though to the fifteen hundred
people who jump the six tracks
morning, noon and night there is
but one side. There ought to be
authority somewhere to do away
with death-traps like the one re-
fer,ed to and if the state board of
railroad commissioners has such
power it should hold a meeting for
the transaction of important business
at once,

Two Towers.

Students Of architecture may have
often wondered why the two towers
Of Notre Dame at Paris were not Of
the same size. 1t appears that when
the cathedral was built 1t was the
cathedral Of suffragan bishop. who
was not entitled to two towers of equal
height, and for centuries the bishop Of
Paris was suffragan to the bishop Of
Sens.

The cold weather seems to have
destroyed the congressional microbes
over in the First district. No new
case has been reported to the healtl,
officer for several weeks. 1t may
be that the epidemic is at last under
control.-St. Johnsbury Republican.
The Philippine insurrection seems
to be gradually taking on the char
acter of the Cuban instruction
against Spain. The insurgents are
breaking up into guerrilla bands and
roaming about the island, robbing
and burning as the Cuban insurrec-
tionists did. The Spanish denomi-
mated these guerrilla bands in Cuba
bandits, which they really were, and
we observe that we are beginning to
apply the same name to them in
Luzon. 1t is unquestionably true
that for several years the Cuban in
surrection was carried on by ban
dts, and that there was little or
nothing in the field that bore the
semblanee to an army. But we
called the Cuban bandits "patriots. "

Bro. Dennis OF the Reno Journal
never misses an opportunity to have
a bit Of fun at the expense OF the edi.
tor OF the INDEPENDENT. Here is his
latest attempt in that line:
when John Ball gets into the
Transvaal it ought to afford Spain
and the semi.civilized world d lot OF
high-classed amusement. A bull and
a Boer fight isn't witnessed in every
arena

slider and give us the pun he has

A SUGGESTION.

The Carson Appeal says that Char.
ley Wallace was driven away from
Lake Tahoe on account Of the exac-
tions of fashions.
The Journal would respectfully
suggest that the State Central Com.
mittees OF the different political par
ties next year require hat the dele
gates to the conventions appear in
swallow tailed coats with all the
other appointments TO full dress"
and that they be compelled to exhibit
certificates OF good standing in the
local four hundred. as prerequisites
to their participation i'll the proceed
ings OF the conventions.-Reno jour.
nal.
The Journals suggestion ia all
right, but how would Bro. Dennis
look in a swallow tailed coat, a boiled
shirt end a plug hat? The ISDErES
DENT is afraid that he might be I'M
able to get into the Democratic con-
rention and il lie did that his appear
ance in full dress would he so stun
ming that the delegates would be
hypnotized and unable to perform
their duties. Come to think OF it, We
cannot approve the Journals sugges.
ton; for a Nevada Democratic con.
yention without Bro. Dennis would
be q very tame affair.
