GENERAL KING AND THE
FILIPINOS.

! 1t is fortunate thing in more than
one sense that General King of Milwau-
l1ee was given an opportunity to serve
in the Philippine war General King II
noted writer of fiction but the cultiya-
ton Of the imagination which isa requi'
site for literary work of this kind. in nc
way inlpairs his value as "A writer of
facts while it makes him more observing
of what comes under his notice. His
views on the Philippine war are as yalu-
able as timely as accurate information
is especially desirable at this time and
his opportunities have been such that he
can speak as one having authority.
General King says we are in for a
guerrilla warfare in which the advan-
tage will be with the Filippinos. He
says the proposed armistice was a ruse
on the part of the natives to secure inn
munity from attack until the rainy sea
son should arrive from which they ex-
pect to derive solid advantage
He says the Filippinos are treacheroua
and will use flags of truce to lure Ameri-
can soldiers to ambush. They do not
fight well when exposed, but behind their
trenches and unhanked they are quite
formidable. They are accomplished
liars, not given to exaggeration only
but creative in their mendacity. They
will not keep promise or executes com
mission on time They bear the reputa-
ton of being thieves, but General King
says he found them honest.
He says these little brown men com
mand his admiration in many ways.
They are industrious, temperate and
frugal and scrupulously clean. They
battle sometimes three times a day All
over the city of Manila are hydrants and
there you will find people bathing. They
love music and it is of the higher order
They are extremely Fond Of their chill
dren and the women are neat Nine
tenths of them can read ard write and
have knowledge of geography and his
tory. In point of education they are in
tinitely superior to the negroes of our
southern states.
The average idea of these people on
whom we are trying benevolent assimi.
lation' by means of wars horrid front,
is that they are ignorant, indoent and I'M
fit for self government. They seem to be
infinitely superior to the Cubans

The instability of the French charac-
ter was exemplified by the plaudits with
which President Loubet was received on
Sunday last at Longchamps where he
attended the races. Two weeks before
he was mobbed. Dooley hits off the
mercurial character of the French tenn
1arament in happy fashion in his book.
1t seems strange that race SO generous
and so brave cannot have consistency
commensurate with their worth when
free from excitement 1t is this defect
which makes the establishment of a
French republic on permanent basis 50
difficult The royalists want the repub-
lie TO fail Their influence must be null
lifted before French republicanism can
have sufficient power to govern peace
fully The anarchist does not seem tC
be wholly out of place in France, if he
would only use judgment in selecting
his victims.

THERE is a bit of war between vessel
owners and coal shippers, and as a con
sequence not much coal is being shipped
up the lakes thus far this year The
rates offered by the coal men are 10 cents
to Lake Michigan ports and 80 to Lake
Superior These rates the vesselmen re-
fuse to accept and run light from the
lower lakes. The heavy demand for iron
ore has advanced freights and the boats
find carrying ore SO profitable that they
can act independently of the coal men
The latter claim that the rush for coal
freights is certain to lower the rates and
then their turn win come. In the mean
time the season is passing and but little
coal is arriving
