disgruntled Republicans have been set
down by the Democrats in very severe
manner since the election about certain
matters, and they now begin to see that
their standing even in that organisation
is in danger. It is the old story about

Business Prospects in the Philippines.
The retail business of the Philippines,
as we'll as the smaller wholesale houses,
are in the hands of the Chinese mer.
chants. They have traded with the
natives for centuries and have carried on
their business in every center of popula.
tien. Intermarriage with natives and
the consequent assimilation of races
have given the Chinese q superior ad-
vantage with the Filipinos. which they
have utilized to the utmost. The bene-
Acieuce Of q government instituted by
the United States will afford them an
opportunity to extend their control Ia
the largest undertakings. Content with
the smallest profits and wages, able to
live in comfort on fifteen cents . day,
they have intrenched themselves in the
business affairs Of the Philippines too
strongly to be displaced. They supply
the islands with all kinds of goods fol
which there il demand, and the prox'
imimity Of this market to China and
