THEIR GAUOY DRESS.
Samoan Beauties and Their AdOrn-
mentS.
SAN Francisco Chronicle.l

San Francisco Chronicle. =
In spite of the simplicity Of national
altire-worn by all, both sexes aike-the
Samoans SPEND great deal of their time
in beau.ifying themselves. The body is
grea7ed with cocoanut oil and the hair is
often plastered With white lime and
reached up pompadour style, giving it
when dry The effect Of the judicial wig
worn by English barristers. The lime is
washed off at night and renewed from day.
The result is gradual change in the color
of the hair, which in undergoing the
bleaching process, passes from a coarse
coal black, through brick red to bright
yellow. The effect of this brilliant with
their shiny copper skins is grotesque in the
extreme, but in their eyes surprisingly
beautiful.
No Samoan belle would use such tor
ture and unnatural deformity as stays and
corsets to make her syphlike and willowy,
though she is quite ready to puncture her
nose 10 wear a jeweled ornament. Their
hair, however, is their pride, and mass
Of yellow spongeike stuff carefully tied up
on top of their heads is the envy of every
one for miles around-"a thing of beauty
and 10y forever" In common with this
strange fancy, the Samoans quite share the
European ideas in regard to beauty; they
particularly admire tall persons, and it is
quite common for a stranger, especially if
above the ordinary height, to find himself
followed by an admiring throng of unob-
trusively obtrusive natives, worshiping in
silence.
The fnery and gimcrack adornments Of
civilization are now gaining foothold in

there is one shackle of civillzation-shoes

because they can find no covering large
enough for the aboriginal "trilbies. "
Nevertheless, in one of the fights in which
our native allies participated it was
observed that one warrior proudly wore a
pair of 16-button black silk stockings
extending above the knees, with his huge
black feet protruding beyond the soles,
which we've worn through. He had doubt

AGUINALDO ENCOURAGED.

At the recent celebration at Tarlac, on
the anniversary of the proclamation Of
Filipino independence, Aguinaldo deliver
ed very howery Grafton. In that speech
he told of how the Filipinos had dared to
engage in conflict with the United
States. He asserted that some Of the
States of the American Union had arisen
in favor of the Fllipinos, and that the
Monroe doctrine had not been forgotten in
America. His idea seemed to be that
majority of the people of the United
States were in sympathy with him and his
followers in their hostilities against our
Government. While advancing that idea
Aguinaldo said;
Especially is the Democratic party
convinced that both victors and vanquish-
ed will lose precious lives. Thus many of
the people and many statesmen censure
President Mckinley as inhuman for hav-
ing ordered his military representatives at
Manila to seek means to bring about hos
tilities with the Filipinos."
What stronger proof can be offered of
the oft repeated assertion that the leaders
Of the Democratic party in their effort to
render President McKinley's administra-
ton unpopular are doing great wrong to
our country. There can be no question
that the revolving Filipinos have been en-
couraged by the constant censure of the
policy of the President in connection with
the Philippines. To bolster up the false
issue of antiimperialism Democratic lead
era have been constantly asserting that
the President was not only violating the
Consultation and the fundamental princi-
ples of our form of Government, but was

treating the Filipinos with cruelty and in
Justice. We donot claim or believeitwas Il e
intention of those who gave utterance to
such views to give encouragement and sup
port to Aguinaldo, but to advance partisan
political ends. What ever their inten-
lions may be, or have, been the result Is
undcniable. They have created belief
in the minds of the Fllipinos that our
Government will have to discontinue It's
policy in the Philippines, because OF a
lack of sympathy and support from the
people at home. In addition to their
anti.imperialist talk there is constant
disposition to magnify the weight OF the
undertaking of the Administration to sup
press the revolt and minimize the effort
to accomplish it. Aguinaldo is made to
believe his strength to resist is greater
than it really is and to think our Govern
ment is powerless to enforce order
The tendency is to prolong the conflict
and to increase the loss of life in the ranks
of our noble army that is supporting the
flag of the Union in the Philippines. We
do not believe the American people will
tolerate such unpatriotic conduct, but will
put the stamp OF disapproval on the So
called anti-imperialists who have injured
our country and its cause in an effort to
advance the interests Of q political organl'
cation.

THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1899.
GOV. TYLER'S CANDIDACY.

For some weeks the candidacy of Gov
ernor ]. Hoge Tyler for the United States
Senate was talked about before he formal
~ announced himself candidate. 1t has
been apparent that there was strong oppo'
siiion in the ranks of the Democratic par
ty to tie reelection of Senator Martin, but
at one time it looked as if no one would
become a candidate around whom the OPP
position could rally. Now the opposition
has the strongest possible candidate that
could have been named. Governor Tyler
has always been considered a peoples
man; and while not possessed of marked
ability as statesman, he has been uni
versally regarded as honest and consclen-
tious. Upon the contrary Mr.. Martin has
been accepted as a ring politician and
champion of corporations. So far as the
political convictions of the two candidates
are concerned they seemingly stand on
the same platform. Tyler for many years
has been the advocate of free silver and
the avowed enemy to trusts, or as he used
to call them combines. Martin is recent
convert to free silver and his sincerity on
that question is seriously doubted. But
both candidates will stand for election on
the Chicago platform.
Will this Senatorial contest result in any
good for Virginia? We are led to hope
and believe that it will. 1t may be the
means of arousing the masses Of the peo-
pie on the question of pure and honest
politics, and result in giving TO the State a
fair election law. The very fact that re-
cent Legislatures have been cont oiled
by the Martin ring and that the selection
of ministerial and judicial Offices in the
State has been dominated by that rng,
has caused serious apprehension WIKI
the better thinking element Of the Demo
cratic party. If by possibility these gus
tions can, by the fight for the Senator
ship, be brought prominently before the
people, great goo |, in the way Of securing
decent politics in Virginia, may be accom-
plished.
OF course the Republicans in Virginia
will be no factor in this contest. We have
great minority party, even under the
dishonest Walton election law; and we
would, probably, have a triumphant ma
jority party in the State if there was an
honest election law. AS it is, with nearly
one hundred and fifty thousand Republi
cans in the State, our party is unable to
elect more than three or four members of
the House of Delegates and one Or two
members of the State Senate. This, of
course, has resulted from dishonesty in
elections.
There is nothing for Republicans 10 do
but stand aside, hoping that the contest
for Senator may be of service in producing
an increased sentiment in favor of honest
elections.

SOME of our Democratic contemporaries
seem TO think that the reason why Repub-
lican papers are so confidently predicting
the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the De-
mocracy in 1900 is that the Republicans
want him nominated, The Republicans
do want him nominated, because they
know they can defeat him, beyond doubt.
