NUR TRAVELLING SOLDIER.

General Bob Wilcox, leader OF the
Hawaiian nation and husband of the
Princess Kaohelelani" is makinga great
Impression on his Mainland friends
Here Bob is by no means a serious
parsonage as he has more than once
reminded us of the first steamboat
that ever ran on the Sangamon river
in Illinois. This boat had a three foot
boiler and six foot whistle and every
time the whistle footed the boat had
TO stop. That has been the way with
Bob. He has three foot capacity but
every time he has tried to force it
through his six foot ambition he has
grief When he goes to the Coast,
however, and merely advertises his
ambition without giving a practical
exhibition of it, General Bob achieves
great fame. AS will be seen elsewhere
he has persuaded a Seattle paper that
he is very nearly the whole thing in
Hawaii and that, if the President does
his duty Bob will return here as a full
fiedged American Governor ready and
well-equipped to turn down the oil
garchs who stopped his last revolu-
ton just when he had Honolulu ''at
his mercy" We do not doubt that the
papers in every big town between Sc
attic and Washington have already
by this time, been full OF Bob and his
uniformed portrait. But we cherish
the fear that when Hawaii's brave
General gets into the full glare OF pub
LEFTY at Washington the humorous
side of his missi~~ will become SO
clear, even TO himself, that he will fam
hurry back to This people" and his
princess" without giving the report
ers single tip.

LAmroN,s ESTIMATE.

It looks as if there might be some truth
in the remark of the Old Spanish general
who said some weeks ago that the Amer
leans would win every battle in the Phil
ippines but would lose the campaign. He
based his remark on the character of the
Filpinos and his knowledge of the eli
mate of the Islands. The dispatches say
that Gen. Lawton has returned to Manila,
and that he has practically abandoned the
territory which he recently captured. He
is quoted as saying that 10000 men will
be necessary for the paciication Of the
Philippines.
1t seems that there is no difficulty In
whipping the Filipinos, but they don't stay
whipped. They are carrying on a guer
rilla warfare. No sooner is a band of
them scattered than other bands spring
into existence 1t is practically impossi-
BILE to follow them into the swamps and
jungles.
There is plenty of troops in the Philip
pines now to overcome any force the
Filipinos can collect. but a much larger
force is needed to hold the territory after
it is captured. That is why Gen. Law
ton gives it as his opinion that an army
of 100000 men is necessary for the pacifi-
cation of the islands.
If Gen. Lawton is correctly quoted the
$500 volunteers authorized by the new
army law will have to be called out In
deed, even the entire army authorized by
that law will not be sufficient for the
country's needs, because troops are re-
quired at home, in Cuba and Porto Rico,
as well as in the Philippines.
The estimate of Gen. Lawton must cause
the President and his advisers great un-
easiness, because there is a steadily grow
ing feeling that the demand for the ces-
sion of the Philippines was mistake.
And this feeling will increase as the cost
of the war in the islands increases. The
President may find the Philippines an in
surmountable obstacle to his ambition for
a second term.

fellow with his hat on the back of his
head is always in good spirits. If he isn't
smoking he's whistling, and If he is smok-
ing his cigar is tilted at an angle corre-
spending to that of his hat
On the other hand, if you see a man
with his hat down over his eyes, and his
hands deep in his trousers pockets, there s
woe in his soul, and he needs sympathy.
George Washington Lilywhite tarried a
day in Jacksonville on his way home. He
was on Bay street, hat over eyes and
hands in pockets. mOping along. He had
received many tips while waiting at table
in one Of the big hotels, and had been
lucky in all of his crap ventures. Indeed
he had won first prize at one of the swell
cakewalks at Palm Beach-but laurels and
wealth did not console him.
Sam Snowfall came up the street in
wide, checked trousers, a uatty cast-of

air, his hat on the back of his head, gil
gantic walking cane under his arm and
laughter in his eye.

And down the street the practical philos-
opher made his way, whistling "She's
Been Mighty Good to Me"
