+ The reason why these people cut this
ridiculous figure is that they see these
bright colors on European women, and

account of their different complexion
such hues are liable to produce, readily
adopt them and consider themselves the
most elegant of the elegant.

trousers, hats, shirts or neckwear. no
matter how extravagant, the Indian and
the half breed Immediately adopt them.
Inc American troops had been in Ma
mia only few days with their brown
suits before the stores on the Esco]ta
were besieged by natives and half breeds
buying all the brown cloth obtainable
wool, cotton or silk, and in few DAYS
they were all arrayed in suits of the same
color as those worn by the army of &C.
cupation. They noticed the hats Of
straw or felt with blue polka dot band
and in few days all the Indians and
halt breeds were wearing the same kind
OF hats as the Americans.
l believe that the Americans will have
out I, 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. -

CHAMBERLAIN AND KRUGER.

The all-absorbing topic OF discussion
in England is the impending trouble
with the Beers Of the Transvaal. Judas
Chamberlain, the Liberal renegade, in
his capacity as colonial secretary, is do
ing his utmost to bring on war with
President Kruger, who has outwitted
him in diplomacy. The stubborn old
Dutchman has been willing to make GER
tain concessions, but he perceives that
war with England is unavoidable so long
as the Tory party is in power. The latest
news from Pretoria is to the effect that
the Boer parliament will not make fur
Their changes in the naturalization laws
for the admission of the Uitlanders as
citizens OF the republic. Members of the
volksraad know very we'll that British
subjects have no desire to forego their al
legiance to Victoria to become bonafde
citizens OF their republic. They know that
their object is to gain control of the
Transvaal for the purpose OF changing
it into British colony. Joe Chamber

have prevented bloodshed. II the doc
trine OF self-government is sound, the
Filipinos are entitled to govern them
selves, and the president can now prom
Use them independence as soon as a
stable government can be established.
If the president is not willing to take
the responsibility of enforcing the doc
trine set forth in the Declaration Of In
dependence, he can call congress to-
gether and let it take the responsibility.
A special session would be less expen-
sive than the war, not to speak OF the
principles involved.
Our nation is protecting the republics
OF South America from outward inter-
ference while they work out their des-
tiny. We can extend the same doctrine
to the Philippines, and having rescued
the inhabitants from foreign yoke, we
can guard them from molestation while
they develop a republic in the Orient.

enemies; we can send school teachers to
Manila instead OF soldiers; and the

gated at independence Hall and defend

FAIR PLAY FOR COL. AmEs.

One of the Minneapolis morning pa
pers has made itself conspicuous during
the past week by giving a hysterical es-
say on physical cowardice and filling its
columns with sensational matter reflect
ing on the soldierly conduct of Colonel
Ames of the Thirteenth Minnesota.
Why the paper in question has seen fit
to besmirch the military record of this
gallant officer by publishing rumors cal
culated to damage him irretrievably in
the eyes of the public, passes beyond
Our comprehension. The other metro
politan papers had the same stories Of
Colonel Ames' alleged cowardice in
their possession, but RETAINED from us
ing them out of a spirit of justice and
fair play to the absent officer. In its
sophomore essay on "Cowardice and
Healthy Fear" the morning paper re-
ferred to drew literally from Shakes
peare, but evidently forgot that the great
dramatist admonishes us to "do wrong
to none,' and while you live, tell the
truth and shame the devil" The same
great genius speaks of the inestimable
value of good name" and declares
that he who is deprived OF it is made
poor indeed" Therefore it is that we
consider it very unjust for newspaper
Of wide circulation, like our morning
contemporary, to publish lot of float
ing charges against any man, and espe-
cially soldier, without being positively
certain that they are absolutely true.
When General Reeve came home from
the Philippines he was subjected to un-
just criticism by the administration pa
pers. He was guilty of the "atrocious
crime" of being a democrat, and that
was sufficient to condemn him. Colonel
Ames is guilty OF the same offense, and
we are of the opinion that were he a
republican his reputation would not be
aspersed as it has been by the local or
gan of Philippine subjugation.
When Colonel Ames heard that his
courage on the field of battle was made
the subject of attack he Immediately did
the only manly and sensible thing to do
under the circumstances. He asked for
the fullest investigation into his conduct
while in command Of the regiment. I'm
til he is accorded trial by the military
authorities he should not be pronounced
guilty on the ex-parte statements of
jealous rivals. Colonel Ames is re-
ported to have said that the charges
respecting him have emanated from
Major Bean, in temporary command OF
the Thirteenth. Several of the returned
officers and men of the regiment testify
to the bravery exhibited by Colonel
Ames, and they are supposed to know
more about him than any newspaper

BRYAN ON THE PHILIPPINES.

The New York Independent OF recent
date contained among its leading articles
signed contribution on the Philippine
question from William J. Bryan, who
says in part:
The Declaration of Independence as
serts that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and this is the doctrine to which
we have adhered for more than cen
fury. 1t is the doctrine which has dis
tinguished lis from European countries,
and has made Our nation the hope OF
humanity. The statue in New York
harbor typi6es the nations mission.
Ii the doctrine set forth in the Decla-
ration OF Independence is sound, how
can we rightfully acquire sovereignty
over the Filipinos by a war of conquest?
If the doctrine set forth in the Declara-
ton OF Independence is sound, how can

cause governments derive their just
powers from the consent OF the gov
erned, and Spain had refused to respect
the wishes OF the Cubans If the Gu
bans were and of right ought to be free
why not the Filpinos?
In the beginning Of the Spanish war
congress denied that Our nation had any
thought OF extending its territory by
war. If we then had no thought of Sc
curing by conquest new territory in the
western hemisphere, why should we now
think of securing in the eastern hemis.

Last Of the Irish Kings Dies.

Inc rumor goes, says the Dublin
freeman's Journal, that the last (per-
haps) of the Irish kings is dead. King
David O'Keefe was his name. Cardinal,
Moran, OF Sydney, Australia, lately de-
scribed his majesty. He says: =,
On zap and St. David's, two of the
caroline islands, formerly dependencies of
Spain, the chief or proprietor is an Irish
man. His name is David O'Keefe, and
ne landed at zap from some passing
vessel-probably an American whaler-
with no fortune save his stout arm and
good sense. He was soon chosen chief
OF the dusky islanders. He acquired
possession of St. David's by marrying
the queen of that island. He built
small fort and drilled small army of
warriors, who are heart and soul de-
voted to him. He is now 60 years of
age, full of energy and vigor. He has
I'M a great measure adopted the native
costume, but in other respects is faithful
to the traditions of his race, and he is
careful to extend a princely hospitality
to the merchants who call at his ISL
ands."
One of the achievements of his ma
)esty was to abolish slavery; he also
succeeded in becoming a millionaire be-
fore death removed his crown. Spain
occasionally contested his sovereignty,
but the modern King David owed no
suzerain but to Uncle Sam, to whom he
swore allegiance when he Invested him
self OF his liabilities to Queen Victoria.
The Irish king is dead! Long live the
thousands of descendants of Irish kings!

editor who has never smelled powder
except from frecrackers on the Fourth
Of July. ,.~....
The Minneapolis Tribune, which is
edited by veteran of the Civil War,
makes the following sensible remarks on
the unfortunate affair:
If he had been guilty of such a gross
exhibition of white feather" as some OF
his accusers say, it seems certain that
official notice would have been taken OF
it and the colonels conduct made the
subject of a court Of inquiry, if not of a
court martial. Regular officers like
General Wheaton are usually very
prompt to act in cases of poltroonery,
and it does not seem possible that this
general, if he had had occasion to de-
nounce Colonel Ames at a club,
as "a id coward" would have
stopped there. If he had had suf-
6cient evidence that Ames had failed
in his duty on which to base
such remark, it was Wheaton's duty
to prefer charges against the colonel,
and to deprive him of his command
from that moment until the charges
could be thoroughly investigated.
No officer should have been allowed
to come home with such stigma rest
ing upon him without any official proof
to back it up. If there was anything in
the charge it should have been formally
investigated then and there, and a YER
dict reached. If General Wheaton, as
alleged, charged Ames in conversation
with cowardice, and has written letter
to Minneapolis containing the same
charge, and still neglected to prefer
charges, the general does not show up
we'll in the affair. He is guilty either OF
bearing false witness or of neglect OF
duty, and he can take whichever horn OF
the dilemma he chooses.

Initiative Filipinos.

The Manila Freedom says: OF all the
races peopling this mundane sphere not
one has such an extraordinary spirit of
imitation as that which inhabits the
Philippine Islands. This race of people,
Of Malay origin, which occupies all the
archipelago of the, Celebas sea, lacks
entirely the aesthetic tastes necessary for
the proper combination of colors, con-
structive ability, uniformity in archi-
tectural designs, and the good taste
which is required for the culture and ad-
vancement of 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 races of the West.
Any one who has observed the Fill
pinos will have noticed that they have no
ideas at all in regard to the proper COM
bniation of colors in their wearing ap-
parel, as in spite of their dusky COM
plexions they select in their clothing
the colors which are least suitable to
them. You will see Indian girls and
half 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 colors presents an
appearance that is hideous in the ex-
IRENE. 1t is not uncommon to see dark
skinned Indian girls dressed in such
bright greens that if they should en-
counter carabao they are liable to be
eaten by that festive animal on account
of their similarity to bunch of hay.

In a speech in Chicago last Saturday
night Prof. A. H. Toln1an, a lifelong
republican, condemned McKinley's
Philippine policy. President McKin-
ley" he declared, "has put black page
into our history which will shame us
forever, and I never will trust him again
as leader. So far as my humble vote
goes, he cannot have it." Thank God
for the brave Filipinos," concluded the
speaker. "They are more true to
American principles than the Americans
themselves" Strange to say, the i'm
perial press has refrained from calling
him either copperhead or traitor.
