HOW THEY WILL BE GOVERNED
Humboldt Standard: What President
Mckinley would do with the Fifipinos
| is not matter of conjecture. In me OF
his recent addresses he said:
They will not be governed as vassais
or serfs or slaves. They will have q
government of liberty regulated by law.
They will have. honesty OF administra-
ton without tyranny, justice without
bride, education without distinction OF
social conditions, freedom of religious
worship and protection for life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
This is a sufficient answer to those
who are croaking about reducing the
Filipinos to a state of vassalage or
slavery.
AN ExPANSIONIST-
q - -
Texas is Democrat, but he is In favor
of expansion, and this is the way ne
talked to a hall full Of people the other
day:
ut is now the duty of the United
States to shoot hell out Of the F'ilipinos
and bring the war to an end. When
the $2O,OOO,OOO which the last Con-
gress voted for that purpose was paid
to Spain for the Philippines the Unit
ed States got all the title there was 10
those islands, and we have expanded
in defiance of the Texas Democratic
platform. The Philippines now be-
long to the United States. It is for
the next Congress to say what We shall
do with them
DOM PAUL'S SOLDIERS.
Marysville Appeal: According to the
newspaper correspondent who was TAX
en- prisoner at Dundee by the Beers and
consequently witnessed the evacuation
of the town by the English and it's sub
sequent occupancy by the Burghers. it
would appear that Dom Paups soldiers
not only looted the stores in the most
approved fashion but also imbibed
recklessly of intoxicating liquors. OF
course such scenes are common to all
wars, and no surprise would be felt at
the Beers being as other men, more o.
less, were it not for the over-zealous
way in which they are forever reading
their Bibles and calling on the Lord to
lead them to victory. Dom Paul will
have to begin repeating his favorite
psalm more theoretically, too, If he ex-
poets his talisman to get it's work in.
And Queen Victoria also appeals to the
Arbiter of Nations to favor the fortunes
of the British: a coincidence which
would probably make it embarrassing
for the Deity We're it not that the re-
suit was fixed in the long ago and will
not be altered to suit either of the nyp-
ocritical appeals now being offered up
before the world.
ENCOURAGE MATRIMONY.
San Diego Tribune: New York edu-
cational directors are following the ex-
ample Of San Franciscans in excluding
married women as teachers in the pub
lie schools. On the face of it this seems
to be rank injustice to many worthy
women who deserve as much or even
more consideration than their unmar-
ried sisters.
Our public institutions ought to be
conducted with a view rather to the en-
couragement of matrimony than other
wise. If prejudice is to be excited
against married women who are OBJ
liged, through no fault of their own,
ito earn theic. living, 1t may, in time,
lead to the adherence of the married
state by millions of charming girls who
in life's struggle, are disinclined to sub
ject themselves to the risk of being
handicapped by the cloud of matrimony
should fate throw them upon their own
resources for livelihood.
If all the girls Of the nation resolute-
ly decline to become wives what a
terrible pickle future boards Of edu-
cation might find themselves in. In
a few years the men Of San Frarcisco
and New York who would exclude
married women from schools might
among women had resulted in empty
schoolhouses and such decreased
census as to threaten the national life,
SALMON.
Red Bluff News: It is said that there
is quite large run of salmon in Ante
lope Creek and that a number Of In
dams are spearing and sun drying them
for winter use. The Indians, instead
Of wading bare legged, as they COM
monty do, now ride their horses in the
water and throw the spears from their
backs Some ingenuity about an In
dian after all.
