PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS.

Writers and lecturers speak of a
Philippine people. The inhabitants of
the islands are divided into several
peoples. They differ from each other
lin language. manners and laws as
dh the sections of ancient Gaul in
Caesars description. They not only
differ. but they fight We have. at the
least calculation, three different native
governments to deal with, and as many
different peoples to conquer.
The Tagalog people, of the Tagals,
occupy the most northern of the is
lands, especially Luzon. and are the
most amiable and civilized of all the
Filipinos. The Visayas are savage,
treacherous and Warlike. The Moros,
who inhabit the Sulu islands, are Mus
sulmans, and own allegiance to a semi
Independent sultan. There is no inter-
course between the Moros and the two
more northerly races, while Visaya
and Tagalog are sworn foes. The Visa
vas despise the Tagalog for their mild
ness and the Tagalog look down on
the savage Visayas
Some time ago there was an insur-
rection in Panay, and some sort of
form of government was set up, to
which the Spaniards surrendered the
capital. Agents of Aguinaldo per-
suaded these Visayan chiefs to resist
the Americans.
What if Aguinaldo is beaten? What
If his homemade government is de-
stroyed? What if his followers are
conquered?
There remains another force to sub
due, and then another The Aguinaldo
government represents only a part of
the Malay population of the island of
Luzon, the rest being Indifferent to it.
Apparently there are no Tagals out
side of this island. The Visayas in
habit several smaller islands to the
west, chief of them being Panay, whose
capital is Ioilo. These have nothing
in common with the Tagals of Luzon,
any more than the Mohammedans in
the south agree with any of them.
These sections differ in occupations
as they do in temperaments, and in
Intelligence as they do in language.
Tagalog, Visaya and Moro are the
names of the three principal native
languages. Besides these there are
twenty-five different dialects There
are many independent tribes, some of
whom are ethnologically distinct. and
most of whom occupy rich interiors to
the exclusion of explorers.
1t looks like an endless task to sub
due these savage and semi-savage is
landers. And While there is only one
thing to do with Aguinaldo and his
forces, to thrash them, and a duty to
perform in restoring order in the Phil |
ippines, it certainly seems that we
have undertaken a big job in the civ
ilization or even the subjugation of |
such people.
Indications are that this government |
viii either have to withdraw as soon
as the act can be gracefully performed, |
or else Tom Carriers policy of exter- |
rnination will have to be pursued to |
the bitter end.

GARD FROM MR.. M'CUNE.


To The Editor Of The Herald: 1t has
been brought TO my attention that the
charge has been made and still is being
made that 1 have dictated the policy of
The Herald during the pending sena-
torial fight, and that it has been at my
instisation and on my advice that Ger
tain articles rejecting on minority
members OF the Democratic side have
been prepared and printed. 1 desire to
say that these charges are entirely
without foundation in truth, and that,
as you well know, the appearance Of
these articles was quite as unexpected
by me as by amy one Of the gentlemen
referred to in them. However much 1
may differ with those who have ignored
the time-honored principle of the Dem
ocratic party that the majority shall
rule l sincerely deplore any policy
which has Tor its object the driving
away from the Democratic party of any
support. l would not, had the power,
read cut Of the party any Democrat,
however intense his opposition to my
candidacy may have been.
At no time during this senatorial
campaign have entered The Herald
building or conferred with the man
agement of the paper regarding it's po-
lilical policy. A w. MCUNE.

NATIONAL ExTRAVAGANCE

While the last congress was COM
PEELED to eSpend a large amount of
money on account of the war, it like
wise had to foot the bills for an ex-
travagant administration.
The total appropriations for the en-
tire Fifty-fifth congress is estimated at
S1,566 SSO,O16, and the appropriations au-
thorized for future congresses under
the continuing contract system for bat
tleships, river and harbor improvements
and public buildings at $4,000, coo.
OF this total appropriation s4S2, $685.
OS3 is chargeable to the Spanish war,
and the complications growing out of
it. So the ordinary expenditures for
the two years covered by the congress
were s1,044, $50, 273, and this sum exceeds
the total appropriation of the LIVth
congress by $50, 746, 65S.
This shows that outside of the legiti-
mate expenses of war and of maintain
ing armies in the conquered islands
there has been a most enormous out
lay. No wonder the Pacific cable, the
Nicaraguan canal and even Hanna's
subsidy scheme were obliged to wait.

FIGHT 1T OUT ON THIS LINE.

Tammany is talking already of the
next presidential campaign. The tigers
are looking for a compromise candidate
for the president. They want a man
who is not offensive to the gold ele-
ment, which has shown its power even
in some OF the silver strongholds Of the
west, but man who is also kindly dis
posed to the double standard.
This is very kind OF Tammany to seek
to harmonize the party with the senti-
ments of those who were traitors to it
in 1886 and 1898. But there is only one
Democratic party and it's principles are
espoused as its candidates will be
named-by the majority.
The Democratic party will not look
to the New York club for inspiration
even though it officially endorsed the
ticket three years ago. Tammany has
lost the little influence it used to have
in national conventions. AS the New
York Sun, a recent Republican con-
vert, says. ''Tammany has proved by
its recent proceedings that it is no
longer primarily and distinctively an
organization for political purposes. but
rather machine engineered for the
furtherance of money-making schemes
Of its leaders,"
Democrats are not recognized as such

SHOW THEM AROUND.

Uncle Sans navy has improved so
rapidly of late and has attracted such
universal attention that the warlike
powers of the world are sending experts
TO this country asking permission to
gather a few pointers and take few
lessons in sea-fshting.
This is perfectly natural People
heard the boasts of these same powers
last summer of European superiority
and their predictions that the undisci-
pinned, unwarlike seamen and soldiers
Of the United States would not be able
TO cope with the powerful Spanish navy
and the descendants of Castllian war
riors-soldiers born and bred to battle.
Well, history has recorded the min
utes of the meeting and the photog-
rapher has all that is left of the famed
Of Spain. And now the powers
are pardonably curious to see how it
was done.
Let them see. It is less disagreeable
to show them in peace than in war.

Individuality is lost sight of in the
cities. 1t is swallowed Up, as it were in
the mob. In village it stands out with
surprising distinctness. The odd charac-
tiers of the place are known to everybody.
and their queer sayings and doings are
told from mouth to mouth
a certain little town not great ways
from Cleveland there are probably as
many of these peculiar people as any
place OF its size can boast. One of them
is an ancient man who longs for the good
old times that followed the war, and is a
firm believer in the criminal weakness of
the present financial system. He is a man
OF considerable property, but nevertheless
is economical to an extreme degree. In
fact, he was never known to spend a
penny that didn't go for some actual ne
cessity.
There is another character in the town
who keeps the village general store. He
is a good-hearted fellow who, after a long
course of bachelorhood, finally married.
In this little town it is the custom for the
happy bridegroom to set up the cigars for
all the concentrating males who drop in
to wish him joy. So the bridegroom in
this instance had a box on the counter,
and most of his patrons were RECALLED
from it.
Pretty soon the ancient gentleman first
referred to l0unged in. The storekeeper,
who felt kindly to all the world just then,
pushed the box towards the newcomer.
Have a cigar, Uncle JIM" he smihngly
said.
Uncle Jim looked at the box and looked
at the storekeeper
Whats this for?'' he asked.
The storekeeper slightly blushed
Been gettin' married, he answered.
"Eh?"
Been gettin married"
Who? You?"
Yep. Me-"

The old man picked up cigar.
How much did these seegars cost we,

cost me bout 4 cents. They're nickel

Hicks Story.
(Pittsburg Dispatch,

VI lIlSpulS l1iSpdNSA.p
1t Was in 1S47 that Hicks, the Cornish
wit, first made county name as witty
reconteur In that year Sir Samuel Spry,
who had been member for Bodmin since
the great reform bill, lost his seat, and in
a Detulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he had
abused his official position to influence
voters at the polls. In the course of the
trial Hicks was called upon to state what
he had to say in his defense. In the
course of his statement he asked leave of
the court to illustrate his position by a
story His request being assented to, he
related how few days previously he had
been to see a lad whom he knew well,
who was laid up from a fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out all
his front teeth.
The lad said Hicks, had taken the mat
ter in the most kindly way, and had said
to him: 4" Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks, and
'tisn't the valiy of the teeth what annoys
me; but tbs the nashty, gashly wishous
disposition of the jackass.'
Sir Samuel Spry sDrang up in the we'll
OF the court in a fury. and exclaimed
He has called me a jackassm The court
was convulsed with laughter, and Hicks
was promptly and fully acquitted of the
trumpery charge brought against him.
