The Limitations of the Filipinos.

The head and front of the revolt
is, of course, the Tagaloes, who are
supported by natives of the country
between Manila and Dagupan and also
to the south who are nominally of other
tribes, but practically and physically
the same as the Tagaloes The insur-
gent army is made uD of a class of
men who are not suited from the lives
they have led to hill or mountain work.
They are chiefly recruited from Manila
and the principal towns to the north
and south. Most of them have been
brought up to comparatively lazy lives
and to have all they wanted to eat. The
population, moreover, which is most af-
fected by this war is not the hill ele-
ment, but that which makes up the
great farming and trading portion
These considerations are very import
ant, in view of the effect of the present
rainy season on the combatants From
the conditions now existing, it would
seem that the Filipino army and peo-
pie are going to suffer far more than
even the Americans. Many of their
chief sources of supply are in our
hands; their important markets are cut
off from them or likewise in our hands:
we have captured many of their stores
and accumulated supplies; and now we
are in position to watch the coast
so as to prevent them from getting
further arms and ammunition 1t would
seem to me, therefore, entirely rational
that the present warfare in the Philip
pines should be over by the end of the
next dry season, which begins in No
vember. With the strengthening of
General Otis force as now planned by
the Government and with the vigorous
prosecution of the campaign during the
rainy season, the insurgents will be so
demoralized when the dry season ar
rives that few sweeping, decisive
movements of flying columns into the
interior should effectually destroy all
vestiges of the revolt. While it is diff
cult to campaign in the Philippines at
any time, it is possible in the dry sea-
son for troops to go anywhere and
everywhere and be followed by the
commissariat. There is jungle and
there are swamps to meet, but they are
not impossible after the rains are over
If such brilliant campaigns can be
waged as are now going on with the
rains prevailing, there is no reason
why, when they are over, the war
should not be quickly ended-From

tion, by John Barrett, in the Amer

continuously in office for eight or ten
years.

the politician after a moment of
thought.
Not a thing
The people in the galleries didn't
get up and hiss and walk out of the
convention hall when I was turned
DOWN."
Not a man left
There was no popular demonstra-
ton. and no one seemed to feel that the
country was going to the dogs?"
"On the contrary, every one seemed
to think it would worry along just
about as comfortably as usual, and 1
didn't see a man dodge as if he ex-
pected an earthquake or some other
indication Of heavenly displeasure."

refiectively, that I have been under
the impression that the salvation of
this whole country has rested on me
for the last eight years and seven
months. ~ Chicago Post.

THE BARLEY MARKET.
Red Bluff Peoples Cause: The prices
which are offered for barley have ere
ated quite a stir in the local market.
The first sale made was that of SUI
pervisor- Burress who sold Saturday
for 80 cents.
To-day Joe Casale was negotiating
the sale of 5000 sacks which he has
just harvested. He had 5000 sacks
altogether, but after paying rent and
retaining sufficient for seed he will
have 5000 sacks for SALE He was
offered 80 cents to-day by Roper &
Mcintosh, but he thought he would be
able to command more than that.
William Gurnsey is in the market
with his crop, which has just been
harvested, but he is holding for a cent
a pound.
GOOD WHEAT.
Middleton Independent: The wheat
crop Of Glenn County this year is I'M
precedented, Dor the the size of the
crop and the fine quality of the grain.
The yield generally has far exceeded
all estimates. The barley crop al
ready harvested has been from eleven
to eighteen sacks on the poorer land,
and as high as twenty-nine and thirty
sacks to the acre on the good lands.

THE z1oN1sTIc MOVEMENT.
Whereby the Jew Hopes to Regain
the Land of His Fathers.

The Jews are devolping a scheme
that has for it's object the purchase OF
Palestine from the Turk and the found
ing of Jewish Government in the
land of their fathers" writes Edward
A. Steiner in the ''Woman's Home
Companion Already the movement
has become a formidable one in some
of the European countries. The leader
of this movement is DR.. Theodore Herzl
of Vienna, an author of European rep
utation who, unwilling to bear longer
the taunts of the anti-Semitic mob OF
his native city, and unable to erase
from his face and heart the marks OF
his race, has planned this exodus with
the view of restoring to his people the
land once their own, in which, unmo-
Tested, they might live and govern
themselves.
IAN able aid to Dr. Herzl is Rabbi
Moheleth of Russia, one of the noblest
and most charitable of men. revered
for his piety and saintliness of charac-
ter. At his word of command the Jews
would come out Of Russia like bees out
of a hive. Why should they not be
glad to leave a country where they
have experienced only hatred, shame
and cruel oppression? In Germany there
are scholarly men yearning to lead
their people-not from narrow ghettos
and squalid homes, but from the
broad streets of Berlin and from the
merchant palaces of Leipsic and Frank
furt-into a country of their own gov
eminent, where they will no longer
be the despised and prosecuted beings
they now are. In Rome, in Venice ana
in many other places in Europe the
exodus fever is spreading and burning
in the hearts of the down. trodden but
hopeful people.
Among the French Max Nordau, the
well-known author, is the leader.
From Paris, from Marseilles, from
Boulogne, the Jews expect to go in
large numbers, leaving behind them "a
country where justice weeps because
she is not only blind but fettered. In
our own America the movement has
not received such a cordial reception,
largely because the need for it is not
so apparent here. Though, of course,
the American Jews who sympathize
with this new exodus do not intend to
leave the United States, yet they are
encouraging it for the sake Of their
oppressed brethren all over the world"

An Unrelenting Girl.

chewing gum and reading a novel as
l walked into the place, and as she

gave her some pretty sharp talk. She
sassed me back, and we had some live

authorities that you are the person

that, but the girl quietly remarked: I

How Gloves Are Gathered.

More cloves are said to be used in
America than in any other country
England and France following in the
order named. In this country and in
Great Britain they are used almost
wholly as a condiment, but in France
they are used largely in the manufac-
ture of certain liquors. To some de-
gree they are employed in medicine for
their tonic properties Fhe name Glove

nail. The tree is AN evergreen, grow

tree belongs to the same family as the
guava, the pomegranate and the rose
apple. The cloves are at first white,
then light green, and at the time of
gathering bright red. Pieces of white
cloth are spread under the trees at
the harvesting time, and the branches
are beaten gently with bamboo sticks
until the cloves drop. They are dried
in the sun, being tossed about daily I'M

Emeralds in Russia.

A ST. Petersburg newspaper says
Emeralds, some of which are very fine,
are found in the district of Ekaterin-
burg, along the banks of the Tokova
River, about thirty-two miles from the
capital of the district. Mining for this
precious stone began in 1S41 and at the
beginning gave some very good results.
