LABOR IN THE PHILIPPINES.

American Workmen.

Wages Are Not OF a Character to Tempt
American Workmen.
A knowledge of the wages paid for
labor In Manila and 6f the conditions
one must meet should be sufficient to
keep American Iaborers at home. II
they wish to take their labor to that
market 1t must be sold as cheaply as
the labor of their competitors, as they
Will receive no larger wage because
the Philippine Islands are a possession
Of the United States. The best skilled
labor at Manila receives the equivalent
of SIS per month in gold, while the
average earnings of the working class
es will not equal $4 per month In gold
out Of which provision must be made
for the support of ones family. The
best clerical labor, such as accountants,
cashiers, bookkeepers, and the en-
ployes of the larger houses, receive
from $50 to $50 per month in gold. The
small number of Europeans, excepting
the Spanish, who are engaged In bust
ness In the Philippines, are either the
proprietors or responsible managers Of
established firms. The total absence Of
European and American laborers in
the Orient Is sufficient demonstration
that their employment is not needed.
1t Is quite true that the cost of living
Is merely nominal in comparison with
the cost in the United States, but even
If one should save ones entire income
1t would scarcely amount to compel
ence. 1t Is mistake to indulge the
supposition that the Filipinos are I'M
couth savages, incapable of perform
ing skilled labor that requires the exer-
else of judgment. The population liv-
ing along the coast and in the cities has
attained surprising degree Of civiliza-
ton, and the workmen of this class
produce an infinite variety of articles
of their own manufacture that would
be creditable to q more enlightened
country. They are, in my judgment,
superior to the same classes in Cuba,
Porto Rico and Hawaii, and possess in
great measure the cleverness at imi-
tation of the japanese, whom they re-
semble in physical appearance and in
the similarity of many customs.-Re-

lecture Is properly adapted to the
whole, and 1t is gratifying incident to
the indulgence in variety of tastes
that we possess the opportunity which
we desire in its display to almost any
extent in mode and effect.
Utility should always be the first and
chief thing to consider in planning a
suburban house. With q majority Of
home builders, 1t Is the interior arrange
ment that receives the most considera-
ton over that of the exterior effect.
Especially so is 1t with the lady of the
house, She lives inside the house, and
that Is the part which receives the most
of her attention. Usually people have
an idea that a house. In order to be
pretty, must cost great deal of money.
1t is true that many expensive houses
are pretty and artistic, but 1t Is merely
because artistic sense and money were
used together.
There are usually many good reasons
why each person who builds should
want different house from his neigh
bors', both as To arrangement and ex-
ternal appearance. To build well. and
to do so at low price, Is always desir
able. and to build artistically, attrac-
lively, does not imply elaborate finish
or profuse ornament Often by happy
combination Of plan and outline. plain
home will be more pleasing than an or
nate and elaborate design.
Here is very pretty home, which has
an attractive appearance from all sides.
The plans show compact arrange
ment, while convenience has been the
first consideration In the designing.
Success in this, combined with a neat,
well-proportioned exterior, gives us a
combination attractive to all, and suita-

The whole country is then divided
into 800 great districts, called super
vlsors' districts. These supervisors
are appointed by the president and
must be confirmed by the Senate. Un-
der the law OF 1889 each supervisor re-
ceives sum OF 1925, In addition to
which he gets 81 per thousand OF popu-
lation enumerated In thickly populated
and $1.4O per thousand In thlnly popu-
lated districts. This gives a sliding
scale or remuneration, but no super
visor is to get less than $500. The first
duty of the supervisors Is TO divide
their supervisorss' districts into emu
meration districts and report these d.
visions to the superintendent The SUI
pervisors then select an remuneration
for each Of the smaller districts. In
thickly settled communities the popu-
lation OF an enumerators' district
should not exceed $500. An enumera-
tor In such communities should COM
plete this work In two weeks. In thin
ly populated districts and in the coun-
try thirty days are allowed by law.
In 1890 the number of enumerators
was about $4,000. In 1900 there will
be many more. s v@-
Each enumerator must be resident
of his district and preference is given
to men honorably discharged from the
army or navy Of the United States.
The law of 1880 allows two cents for
each name entered on the enumera-
tors schedule, except in sparsely set
tied communities, where two and one
half cents may be paid. For each
name relating to soldiers or sailors
window he gets five cents and for the
facts about each death two cents. For

A very pleasant personal item that
comes from across the sea states that
DR.. Doyle Is the most alLronnd repre-

fresh air that runs through his work
which more .han any other quality has
made it appeal to his readers every
where; and while he is no mean adver-
sary Mt billiards, or with the gloves, 1t
is In the open that he comes into his
own most conspicuously. The item
goes on to say that Mr.. Barrie Is a fair

himlat so unreasonable an hour, but
that his business was of the most ur-
gent nature. In the first place, he ask
ed for $500 in order that his robbers
might buy food. He did not intend to
rob poor storekeepers. AS 1t happened,
most of the money was spent at the
cOmpany's store. Then he explained
that he wanted $4,000. Capt Rawlings
said that he did not have this. and that
even in a week he could not get together
more than $4,000. All he had on hand
was $4,000. This Bernal finally agreed
to take.
When Bernal received his plumber
Capt. Rawlings told him that he would
have to account to his employers for
the missing property and asked the
robber If he would not kindly give him
a receipt for 1t. Bernal cheerfully gave
this. The bandit said that he would
send later for $500 which Capt. Raw
lings had retained for his workmen.
Bernal explained that his messenger
would bring request for the money
signed with the bandits secret sign, of
which he. gave specimen to Capt.
Rawlings. The messenger came In due
course.
Bernal's end was miserable. The
robbed mining companies complained
strenuously to President Diaz, who sent
word to Gen. Martinez: IT give you
three months to catch this man" Gen.
Martinez took 1000 soldiers, secured
the mountains, broke up the band and
executed 300 robbers and suspects. For
