Captain Meany of the U. S. gum
boat Nesan, makes trip through the
southern islands every fortnight. He
has probably the best opportunity to
know the islands and their possibli-
ties of any one there. In the many
cruises he has taken, he has CLEANED
much informatian which will be of
interest to our readers.
The captain when seen by Ne7o
Orient man had the following to say
concerning the islands:
"The Island of Leyte is probably
the most promising in mineral
wealth, especially in the precious
metals. The other islands have
every evidence Of abund ant mineral
wealth, but Leyte contains metal in
paying quantities. About IL to Is
miles from the shore of Leyte a party
of six men found ledge of pure
quartz ore, which assayed on the sur.
face $2S in gold, besides carrying
small quantities Of copper and silver.
The wien was about three feet wide
on the surface and had we'll defined
walls, 1t was, what is known in
mining parlance as, true fissure
vein, or one which was formed when
the island was created. Consequently
it is permenent. Other similar veins
were found. but no assay of the ore
was made, but it looks like fine rock.
"Gold in places is also found on
this island, but just in what quaint
ties could not learn.
"On the other Islands Minandao,
Sampango, Sunna and Cebu, gold,
silver and copper is found. The Isl.
and of Leyte and these just mention
ed have an abundance of coal ,lbut it
is an inferior quality, possessing the
same characteristics that the Japan
ese has.
"The mineral outlook is extremely
favorable, and the natives with a
little persuasion can be influenced to
permit the white man to enter the
islands,"

is, in part, the government. per-
sonified, representing wisdom,
justice, moderation and truth, =
an example to other citizens, and
the visible exponent of the ma
jority of the law. To indicate by
his official actions that he is only
an ordinary human being with
the like feelings and impulses of
other men, is to derogate from the
veneration in which government
should be held This view is not
practical politice, and not
likely to be soon. but the correct
one, we believe, nevertheless.

CORRESPONDENCE IN ENGLISH.

English is written more than
any other language, says the New
York Herald. Statistics for 1898
emphasize the fact that more let
tefs are written IN English than
in all the other languages togeth-
er.
To be more exact, three-fourths
of all the letters that go into the
mails of the world are in English.
This remarkable fact is the more
impressive when we remember
that only one-fourth of the civil
lied world speaks our language.
There are substantially 5O0,OO0,-
600 persons who speak the ten
chief modern tongues, and of
these 100000 speak English.
But the number is increasing rap
idly.
At the beginning of this CEN
tury about twelve per cent. of the
civilized world spoke English, at
the middle of the century it was
nineteen per cent, and now, at
its close, it is thirty per cent.
The increase in letter writing has
been far more rapid than this.
and now out of the enormous
number of 10,64O, 100000 letters
posted last year 5000, 100000
were written Ill English.
In the United States, alone.
last year, there were mailed thir-
ty-seven letters for each inhabi-
tant, which aggregates forty per
cent. of all the letters written in
the world, and equaled the num-
Der written by all of the nations
of Continental Europe.
Next to the English, with its
5000, 000,000 letters written last
year, comes the German, with l.
300, 100000 French, 1000, 00O,-
600; Italian, 100000, 900; Rus
sian, 1S0,000,000e Spanish, $780,
100000; Dutch, 100,O00,00O;
Scandinavian; $4,000, 700, and
Portuguese, 100000.

WHAT HAS OCCURRED.

If three months war with the
lSpaniard should have developed
such wide field for speculation
and mismanagement of affairs as
to cause the court martial of the
ranking quartermaster of the army
and of court martial of the rank
ing general as we'll as the proba-
BILE dismissal of the secretary of
war, what might have occurred
had the war continued one whole
year ?-Muskogee Times.
The virus of dishonesty and
rascality would have permeated
the army until generalization
would have touched other gold
epauletts and brass button wear
ers. The corruption would have
gangrened the Republic, as it evil
IDENTIFY has i'll McKinley's impe-
rial policy of subjugation, coer-
cion and conquest in. the Philip
pine Islands. The war still goes
on, and the end is not yet. The
opportunity for speculation is
still presented, and ripe for pluck
ing. Our people are to be heav-
lily taxed to conquer the natives,
who are fighting on their own soil
for their independence and liberty,
as our forefathers, under Wash
ington, fought to throw off the
colonial oppression, tyranny and
disagreement of Great Britain.
Our ships and soldiers have cross
ed the waters to Asiatic shores,
ten thousand miles from our ma
tive land, and are waging war
of destruction of life and property
against semi-savage people. 1t
means ''entangling alliances"
with other nations, and as Spain
was unable to defend herself so
far away from her base of supplies,
against the United States, so we
will be placed in the same attitude
if we attempt to hold the Philip
pine Islands.
Every other national question
sinks into insignificance in com.
parison to this one. 1t is ques-
ton of free government and not
of free silver. AS the Republi-
can party has championed this
Imperialism, the Democratic hosts
of this country must fight to de-
stroy the last vestige of so poison
Gus doctrine.

TWO RECENT APPOINTMENTS.

President Mckinley has sent to
the Senate the name of Hon.
David Shelby, of Huntsville, Ala,
nominated for the judgeship of
the newly created fifth judicial
circuit. For this position there
were a number of other applicants,
including Mr.. Thomas J. Glenn,
of Atlanta, between whom and the
fortunate candidate, the contest
really lay.
The President took the position,
we presume, that in awarding IA
vors along strictly party lines, an
old and tried partisan, one who
embraces the doctrines of his party
because he believes them to be
true, as did Mr.. Shelby, is to be
preferred to the recent accessions.
whose sudden conversion at time
when it was generally conceded
that the Republicans would be
successful, raises the suspicion
that some Interior object was in
view aside from patriotism when
one party was deserted for anoth-
er III order "to get upon the band
wagon" 1t seems to us the Presi-
dent took the right position in
the matter; and one which if the
Calamity, President Cleveland,
had adopted, the Democratic party
would have Jared better.

THE NEW RIFLE-SIGHT.

The sight for the United States mas azine rifle, recently completed at the To- cal armory by Lieut.. Dickson and later adopted by the war department, IS soon to be tested in San Antonio, Tex, and later manufactured at the armory in this city. Lieut. Dickson and two ex- pert marksmen and a record keeper from this city will leave next week for Texas, and the test, which will be on
 the target grounds of the United States
 arsenal at San Antonio, will continue
 for several weeks. The new sight Is
 known as the model 1898, and is distin-
 suished from the sights now in use on
 the magazine rifles by having wind
 gauge of proved efficiency. The tests
 are designed by Lieut.-Col. Arnold to
 more accurately graduate the sight
 The graduation of the sight has now
 been made as accurate as careful cal
 culation can make it, but the lieuten-
 ant-colonel wishes to go beyond the
 possibility of error. Five sights will be
 used on the range, each at distances Of from 200 to 1000 yards from the target.
 The exact elevation of each sight at each distance will be taken, and in case of variation the average in each case will determine the proper graduation for the perfect sight. These tests, With
 results noted for each of the nineteen target distances, will exactly determine the shape of the curved base of the sight and consequently the accuracy of the sight at any given elevation.
 Lieut.. .-Col. Arnold has already near ly equipped a plant at the local arm ory with a capacity of LOGO of these sights each day. As soon as the sight is perfected by the tests at San An tonic the local plant will be started at once to it's entire capacity. The sights now on the United States magazine rifles will be called in as rapidly as the new ones can be made, This will con- tinue until the entire supply of maga zine rifles now in the hands of United States troops is fitted with the new sight. Lieut.. Dickson with his marks men will probably leave for the south early in the week. The time spent in the tests cannot be determined yet, but it is expected to be several weeks. The target tests are the final touches in the comnletion of an unusually comnlete and serviceable sight, and nothing will be allowed to mar the accuracy OF the graduation Springfield Republican.
