SENTIMENTAL INTERFERENCE.

Two soldiers, Conine and Domphoffer,
have been condemned at Manila to be
shot for criminally assaulting native
women, and one other soldier, McBen-
nett, has been sentenced for like Of
! fense to twenty years Imprisonment.
Yet sentimentalists have developed al
ready who have appealed to the Presi-
| dent to interfere in behalf of these men
and tighten their penalties. On what
ground such an appeal can be founded
| it is difficult to understand When
women are criminally assaulted in the
| South Of our own land, and mobs take
out the offenders and lynch them, there
is no voice Of condemnation The
verdict of public opinion sustains the
lynchers while regretting and denounc-
ing the illegality Of the act. Lynching,
the people condemn. but not out Of
any sympathy for the guilty wretch
who violates the chastity of woman by
force.
But here are American soldiers who
are sworn guardians of the innocent
and helpless abusing the privilege Of
their Office and committing the most
grievous of offenses, and forsooth mis-
taken sentimentality must needs in
terfere in their behalf If the judg-
ment of the court-martial before which
the men were duly tried is not carried
out, how can we expect to impress upon
~ CIV
larations that we are of superior CIV
ilization. Moreover, as a warning to
other men who permit their passions
to run away with their brains, the de-
cree of the court should not be sus-
pended or modified.
1t must be presumed that the men
would not have been convicted except
the evidence was Overwhelmingly con-
vincing Of their guilt That being TAX
en- for granted, the sentence of the
court was not one whit too severe. The
sickly sentiment that projects itself
into such case to save bI1tal fellows
from the just penalty of crime that
men punish with death in our own land
without waiting for judge or jury, is
despicable and cowardly.
The Filipino women are as sacred in
the eyes Of the Filipino community as
are the women of America in the eyes
of our own people. These Filipinos
are singularly. .virtuous and only in ex-
ceedingly rare cases have they been
known to make advances, or $50 deport
themselves as to justify approaching
them immodestly. All the presump-
tions therefore are, that in the case of
the condemned men there was brutal
and bitterly cruel assault, and that the
court Of American officers who heard
the testimony. acted in the premises
as their manhood, the articles of war
and the cause of justice demand. 1t is
then to be hoped that the President will
not interfere.
The record-union., 1899-09-20

cupation largely because their leaders
tell them that our rule would perpetu-
ate the hard and tyrannical domina-
ton similar to that of certain orders of
the priest class. which acquired i'm
nense power, defiant even to Spain and
lorded it over the natives in a mon
strous manner. In fact, the original
rebellion in the islands was more
against the priestIy oppression than
the domination of Spain. The terms
Aguinaldo insisted upon when peace was
declared at the time he took his de-
parture from the islands called for
more of correction Of monastic abuses
than for changes in secular affairs
What we have to do, therefore. is to
convince the Filipino of his mistake,
to convict him of the truth about re-
ligious liberation under the American
system, and that with US religious or
ders can exercise no power over the
selves choose freely and voluntarily
to recognize. But in doing this, and it
is no small task, we ought to take the
advice of Archbishop Ireland of the
Roman Catholic Church, who points out
that it would be unwise for Protestant
churches, at this time at least, to at
tempt to wean the Filipino people from
their faith, since it is perilous to at
tempt with such a people such a task;
to take from them trust in the faith in
which they have been brought up
would leave them in what the prelate
terms religious Indifference" But
there is a stronger reason to our mind
than that for Protestant missionaries
refraining from entering the Philip
pines at this time, namely, that their
efforts would confirm the insurgents in
the belief, industriously inculcated by
their leaders, that we come into the
islands to destroy their historic faith.
When the islands are pacified and re-
ligious toleration is understood in all
it's meanings by the people, it will be
time enough for other faiths to set up
their standards and recruit for fol-
lowers among the Filipinos. There is
a great deal Of good sense in what
Archbishop Ireland says: "If I were
Americas enemy to-day, I would say
to American Protestants, Hurry on
your missionaries to the Philippines I"
Such movement would, as our contem-
porary well remarks, enable the Fill
pino politicians to appeal to the people
against us in such phrases as this:
You have given up your civil gov
eminent to strangers; they are also
taking away your religion" We must
understand thatWhile the Filipinos were
in revolt against the abuses of the
monastic orders, and rebelled against
the tyrannica1 rule of Spain and of the
church, they did not thereby forego
the religion in which they have been
brought up, nor for a moment think
of abandoning the faith of their lives.
AS for the monastic and priestly or
ders which have ground the Filipinos
into the dust in the past. let this Gov
ernment see to it at once that they
are relegated to their proper position
under the laws of this country.

HAY PRICES.

Riverside Press. Hay has declined 0O
cents ton in this city within the past
few days This, it is thought, is due
to the shipments being received from
the Temecula country where there was
a large crop harvested the past year.
A quantity of hay is also being shipped
to the city from points in this county.
A further decline in the price of hay
is not expected this season.
At San Francisco the arrivals Of hay
last week amounted to 3.552 tons, ac-
cording to advices received by the
Union This is not much of var1a-
ton from what has been coming in for
the past few weeks. The demand con-
tinues fairly good. and satisfactory
movement is had for consignment. 1t
is a question what the market may be
during the next six weeks. as it is gen
orally expected that large amounts
now in field. for which there is no
warehouse room. will move into mar
ket.

there is an occasional car offered,
commands from 1926 to $3.50 per tons

CLOSE CALL FOR Thu GlLVlNS
FOUR PERSONS NARROWLY ESCAPE
BEING SUFFOCATEDF WITH -
GAS
But for the Arrival of PatrOIman
Louis Calvin at His Home His
Father and Family Might Have
Lost Their Lives.

The family Of Patfolinan Louis Calvin,
ccnsistihg'o of his aged.father, Henry Gal
Vin,s his wife and two children living at
33l Ramsey street, narrowly escaped
death by asphyXiation early on Tuesday
morning. Mr. Calvin ST.. was entirely
overcome, while Mrs. Calvin became I'M
conscious after dragging her father-in-
law from the room where the deadly gas
was thickest. The two children, sleeping
up stairs. were made violently ILL Only
the timely arrival of Officer Calvin at 4
o clock in the morning, when he returned
from standing the short" night watch
in the Rondo district, saved the life of
his father, and doubtless that of his wife
The gas that filled the house escaped
from a large coal stove, by reason of the
pipe slipping out Of the hole in the wall
where it enters the chimney. Shortly
after o clock in the morning Mr. Calvin
Sr. was awakened by an oppressive Odor,
and though nearly overcome realized that
something was wrong with the stove.
He craWled to the dining room, where
the stove stood, and tried to arrange the
damper so the gas would escape Whire
thus engaged he became unconscious and
collapsed beside the stove. Half an hour
later Mrs. Calvin, who occupied a room
more distant from the stove, was also
awakened by the smell of coal gas and
hurried to the dining room to ascertain
the trouble. She was startled to see her
father-in-law lying unconscious on the
hccr, and while struggling to fight off
the effects of the poisonous gas upon
herself tried to take Mr.. Calvin from the
room. 1t was a difficult task for a
woman, fast weakening from inhaling
the noxious gas, but Mrs. Calvin strug-
gled Valiantly and managed TO drag her
father-in-law to the front door. Here her
strength failed, and she could not get
the door open. With choking cry she
sank to the floor just as Officer Calvin
stepped en- the porch AS he threw open
the door Officer Calvin realized what had
happened and took his father and Mrs.
Calvin out into the fresh air, and ran UP
to see to the children. He found the two
little girls awake, badly frightened, and
vomiting violently.
Mrs. Calvin revived quickly in the out
side air, but Mr.. Calvin Sr. remained I'M
conscious. DR.. Quinn was summoned,
and under the physicians ministrations
Mr. Calvin was resuscitated. The chill
dren were not seriously affected.
Although seVenty-flve years of age, Mr.
Calvin Sr. has fully recovered from the
effects of the partial asphyXiation, as We'll
as Mrs. Calvin. This was the secorfd
time Mr.. Calvin Sr had been overcome
by coal gas as he had a like narrow es-
cape at the home of a daughter, ON Har-
rison avenue. .severaf years ago.
