ssSTARIN THE EAST"
Perry Belmont Says German Will
Lead Democrats to Victory.

New York, June 19.-Perry Belmont,
president of the Democratic club has is
sued an interview in which he expresses
himself as heartily in favor of the nomi-
nation of Arthur P. German for the
presidency. There have been conferences
of eastern Democratic leaders in this city
recently and it is supposed that the Cor
man boom was discussed at length
Mr.. Belmont says that when congress
takes up the Philippines problem It will
become live issue. On the question of
trusts as an issue Mr.. Belmont says:
1T is incredible that Democrats will
demand that the federal power shall con-
troll state industries and state corpora
tions that are absolutely local L think
the Republican party will evade the issue.
AS to reaffirmance by the Democratic con-
ventien of the supreme predominance of
! the 10 to 1 fad winning issue in 1900,
I have nothing to add to what 1 have al
ready said. The parity of all our dollars
will not be threatened or impaired by
Democrats who solicit and expect for
their ticket the votes of salary earners
and wage earnerS-
1.-The man to carry the Democratic ban
ner to victory is German. If the Demo-
Gratis come together under him as their
candidate, with patriotic fervor, as they
united in 1876, after Greeley'S fiasco in
1872, these threatened evasions of the con-
stitution can be prevented. In the Dem
ocratic reviva1S, when the voters elected
Democratic presidents, it was Tilden. Man
ming and German who were stars in the
east guiding the reunited Democratic
hosts.

CAMPED IN CHURCHYARD.
Hebrews Had Much Trouble With
Their Janitor.

New Castle, June 19.-Samuel Jaffey, the
sexton of the Hebrew synagogue in this
city, and his family are camped out in
the churchyard with nothing to cover
them but the canopy of heaven. This
state of affairs came about through
force of circumstances mixed with a lot
of lawsuits
Jaffey and his family came here a year
ago from Cleveland. and Jaffey was en-
gagged as janitor of the church and teacher
of the Hebrew school. Their apartments
were over the church, and for this he was
to pay the church So a month. He was
entitled to what he made from his teach
ing, for each member was to pay him
what he felt like.
Most of the members were dissatisfied
with what they got in the way of teach
ing, and in addition they claimed that he
did not attend to his other duties in a cor
rect manner. The congregation objected
to the way in which he used the apart
to quit the premises. This he refused to
do, and last February was offered $I0 to
get out, but he would not 60
Time rolled on, and the congregation
claim that he did not pay a.ly rent for
the parsonage. A second offer of $50 was
made him to move out, and this, too, was
rejected. In the meantime Jaffey held
tons made against him, and he took a
hand and showed what he could do Then
the members brought suit against him.
When this was done Jaffey sued the con-
gregation for the amount of his salary,
and this morning secured a judgment of
SCI so. Then the ejectment suit was gone
through with and this went against the
janitor, and the constable ousted him.
Jaffey at once set up housekeeping in the
yard, and the case will wind up in court.

INITIATIVE FILIPINOS.
[From the Manila Freedom.l

OF all the races peOpling this mum
dane sphere not one has such an extra
ordinary spirit OF imitation as that
which inhabits the Philippine islands.
This race, people of Malay origin, which
occupies all the archipelago of the Cele-
bas sea, lacks entirely the aesthetic
taste necessary for the proper combina-
ton of colOrs, constructive ability, uni
fOrmity in architectural designs, and the
good taste which is required for the
culture and advancement of a people.
They have no ideas of this kind of
their own, and in all matters of taste
do nothing more than what they see in
the races of the west.
Anyone who has observed the Fill
pinos will have noticed that they have
no ideas at all in regard to the proper
combination of colOrS in their wearing
apparel, as, in spite of their dusky
cOmplexiOns, they select in their cloth
ing the cOlorS which are least suita BILE
for them. You will see Indian girls and
ha1f-breeds as brown as berries using
in their dresses and scarfs such colors
as blue, green, yellow, brown and black.
A woman of dusky complexion with a
dress of any of these coIors presents
an appearance that is hideOus in the
extreme 1t is not uncommon to see
dark skinned Indian girls dressed in
such bright green that if they should
encounter a carabao they are liable to
be eaten by that festive animal on ac-
count of their similarity to a bunch of
hay.
The reason why these people cut this
ridiculous figure is that they see these
bright colors on European women, and
without thinking of the effect which on
account of their different compilations
such hues are liable to produce, readily
adopt them and consider themselves
the most elegant of the elegant.
No sooner does a new fashion arrive
from Paris, Vienna or Berlin in shoes,
trousers, hats, shirts or neckwear, no
matter how extraVagant, the Indian
and the breed Immediately adopt
them.
The American troops had been In Ma
Mia only a few days with their brown
suits before the stores on the Escolta
were besieged by natives and half
breeds buying all of the brown cloth
obtainable. wool, cotton or silk, and in
a few days they were all arrayed in
suits of the same color as those worn
by the army of occupation. They no.
ticed the hats of straw or felt with a
blue polka dot band, and in a few days
all the Indians and half-breeds We're
wearing the same kind of hats as the
Americans.
believe that the Americans will have
but little trouble in introducing here
their usages, customs and language, as
to that end the spirit of imitation which
predominates in the native race will be
a powerful factor
