THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE.

fOIS NNOW u.
I'm Manila. which is really a cosmo-
politan city, in Ilo.lo and other cities Of
the islands you will find educated Fill
pinos who are bright and pleasing to
meet socially. 1t is IL good thing that
we have such n nucleus OF education to
begin with. The great masses, Of
course. are ignorant, but the one good
thing III their favor is that they have
thirst for knowledge. With good Amer
lean schools OH the islands, the leaven
OF general education will produce re-
suits for the masses that will develop
the race rapidly. The Filipinos have
many other good charac teristcs. They
are honest by nature and show 1t in
their dealings, although suspicious OF
the white man.
They need roads out there and their
construction is the first necessity when
peace is restored to the islands. Then
Let these be established and the mis-
sionaries admitted to every province,
and success will be assured.
WHAT WE MUST DO.
"But one thing 1 wish to emphasize
moro than any other point that have
dwelt upon. We must make an honest
the islands. Spain established the
spells system. and the corruption
which has followed from it has made
three centuries of evil government for
the people, and finally resulted in her
overthrow. The best man in the United
States is none too good to go to the
Philippines as Governor General. He
must mete out justice to all and teach
the Filipinos by his decisions and en-
ample that he is their friend. BY send
ing out such Il man we will succeed,
but if we send an ordinary political
appontee we shall fall. I am conf
dent that the right man will be sent,
and then our experiment will be a ma

Savannah, Ga. Dec. 27.-The Trenton.
N. j.. story that there was no SCALP
band from Georgia on the Hilton trophy
when 1t reached the New Jersey capital
to indicate that it was won last year
by the Georgia team, has caused some
comment here. There was no SCALP
band from Georgia removed from the
trophy when 1t left Savannah
The only emblem placed on it by the
Georgians was n copper shield with the
coat Of arms OF the State. This was;
put in place soon after the trophy was
won in 1897 and brought to Savannah.
There was none for 1898 because the
trophy was not won that year. There
was no Seagart match. and the trophy
simply remained in Savannah because
no other city could lay claim to it. Can
tain Postell, who packed the trophy.

THE report that the scalp band has
been removed from the trophy is wrong.

A PARALLEL THAT noNoss BAILEY

The Nashville American declares that;
The democracy OF General John n Gordon

eral Wheeler IL Is difficult 10 understand
Georsia will take care OF the case OF

pie shall please, and II they do not APP
prove his Philippine policy he will simply
pay the penalty Of opposing their view on
that question, and that Is all there is
about 1t.
But the American is mistaken In the
inference allowable under Its reproduced
paragraph General Wheeler has not been
"reviled' By some Southern papers" so
far as We know. lie has been criticised.

crate southern heroes. and, when they

There are two propositions to which the
southern papers win not discontinue
their support until history is forgotten
and duty shalt cease to prompt their

Of the individual State and constant, con
