would our people keep him at the head of affairs?

A Pacific Coast and International Exposition, to
be held in San Francisco in 1901 is not within the
national policy" the internal policy" of the
Examiner. This "blunderer and egotist is equally
opposed to military civil enterprise that fails to
recognize its mpudent and silly pretensions Among
other things, it has recently interviewed fifteen la
borers of whom it says eleven were .latly against
the proposed fair" To vary the monotony we sug-
gest that it interview fifteen hundred aborers and
publish their opinions on the expansion project in
the Philippines. 1t would be interesting learn how
many of them would favor the competition of the
Fiipinos with American work1nen.
Perhaps there has been in local journalism more
silly attempt than that of the Examiner to create
sensation out of nothing but if the record has been
