THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.

Do the volunteers who are now return
ing from the Philippines understand the
situation there? 1t would seem as if they
ought 10, but II may be that their on
portunites for becoming well acquainted
with ii We're very limited.
Ii is evident that if they are well in
formed there is a vast deal of fighting to
be done yet in the Philippines The First
Nebraska Volunteers reached San Fran
cisco day or two ago and many of the
officers and men gave their opinions free
" in respect to affairs in the islands.
Pretty nearly all of them united in say
ing that Gen. Otis is a failure 1t is evil
dent that he isn't a favorite with them.
II is said that he forced the volunteers
to bear the brunt of the fighting, and
favored the regulars. That may account
for the opinion which the volunteers have
of him.
Those of the Nebraskans who talked for
publication pretty generally agreed that
the insurrection is as vigorous now
as it was when it was begun.
The Fflipinos appear 10 be wen
armed, well clothed and to have
plenty of ammunition. Some of the Ne
braskans expressed the opinion that it
would take ten years and 100000 men to
pacify the islands. Others said the Filipi-
nos would be lighting twenty years hence
There was an unanimity Of opinion on one
point, and that was that the islands are
not worth what they are costing.
Out of all of the officers whose talk
found its way into the newspapers only
one said a good word for Gen OTIS, or
thought the instruction was on it's last
legs. He said that Gen. Otis had done re-
markedly well, and that the Filipino army
was SO scattered that it could never be
gotten together again He thought that
when the rainy season ended Gen. Otis
would bring the instruction to an end in
a short time.
The truth probably is that the voiun-
teers having only a small field for OBJ
servation, were unable TO form correct
opinion of the whole situation. The act
ual state of affairs may be much better
than The Nebraskan volunteers say it is
OF it may be far worse. one thing is GER
tain, and that is that the American peo-
pie are becoming impatient to know the
exact truth.

Az APPEAL AGAINST MOB VIO-
ENlIr

The appeal which Gov. Gambler has made
to the people of the state to unite in put
tng down mob violence shows that he is
very much in earnest In his efforts 90
prevent lynchings His appeal viii of
course have a beneficial effect, because it
Will tend to help the people to see the
injury that is done the state by ignor-
ing the laws and the courts. It viii not
put an end 90 ynchings, however. They
can be stopped only by moral and educa-
donal influences. The better class of ne
groes must teach the younger generation
OF their race better morals and the white
people must be taught greater regard
for HE law.
1t is a fact that one great reason why a
negro who assaults a white woman Is
lynched so promptly is that the white peo-
pie believe that by lynchlng a.one can the
women OF their families he protected. In
the farming districts the men-folks are
afraid TO go far from their dwellings. Even
when blowing in their fields they keep a
watchful eye on their houses. They are
apprehensive that at any moment they
may hear cry for help.
with such feeling among the farmers
il is apparent thar il will take sometime
stronger than an appeal from the Gov
ernor to make the white people of the
rural districts abandon lynchng They
feel that they are lighting for their homes.
In some localities they don't hesitate TO
say that unless assaults on women practi-
cally cease they win have to abandon
their farms. There is Of course a desire
for vengeance in lynchinss, but the be-
lief is strong that there is no other way
than by lynching the crimuals-by strk-
ing terror to the hearts of the criminal
classes of che negroes-can assaults on wo-
men be checked. While this belief re-
mains therefore it will be a very diff
cult matter to keep down mob violence.
As we have already said the negroes
must be lifted to higher moral plane-a
work which the negro preachers and
teachers will have to perform in a great
measure-and the white people must be
made 10 understand the harm that lynch
inss do the state. and to see that il IS
a mistake to think that lynchings. in
community where there are courts and
ample means for enforcing the laws, check
crime

BACK SEAT FOR PoPULIsTs.

I
Ever since the recent meeting Of the
I Democratic National Committee at Chica-
90 there have appeared in the public
| prints. chiefly Republican papers. state
ments 10 the effect that Vice Chairman
/ Stone Of the committee made some remarks
at the committees meeting which didn't
at the time reach the public. a s. Louis
4 dispatch says that the substance of his
remarks was that in future the Democratic
party would maintain it's Individuality.
that it wouldn't enter into any sucn
arrangement with the Populists and The
Silver Republicans in 1900 as it had with
those organizations in 1896. In other words
he wanted it understood that in the ap-
preaching campaign the Democratic party
would manage its own affairs, and that
while it wouldn't object TO assistance from
those ORGANIZATIONS at the ballot box it
wouldn't have any partnership with them.
It is probable that Mr.. Stone said moth
ing more than what was printed immedi-
ately after the meeting Of the committee.
The fact that the advisory committee was
practically aboishcd-a committee of
which Senator Teller a Silver Republican.
and eX-Gov. Altgeld were memberships
doubtless given rise to all this talk that
Che Democratic National Committee de
cided TO cut lose from the Populsts ana
the Silver Republicans.
II isn't a matter Of much consequence
whether be made the remarks attributed to
him or not. The Populist party is practi-
ca.ly dead The most of its members nave
gone back TO the parties from which they
deserted. The Republican Popu,ists are
now pretty good Republicans and the Dem
ocratic Populists are to be found in the
ranks Of The Democratic party. The num-
Der of what are called Middle-of-the- Road
Popuiists is so small that it is matter of
no importance whether they act with the
Democratic party or stick TO their own lit
tie organization.
II would be a good thing for the Demo-
cratic party if the Populists and Silver Re
pubicans were told plainly that in future
they would find no place in the Democratic
party unless they dropped their own or
CARNATIONS and joined that party. Dem
ocrats, as a general thing. don't like polit-
ical combinations, because they believe
they mean that the Democratic party has
to sacrifice something. They prefer the
party TO stick to its principles, even though
by doing so it would risk defeat
The members of the Democratic National
Committee have no fault to find appar-
emily with ex-Gov. Stone. They know that
whatever he does is for the benefit of the
Democratic party. 1t isn't at all probable
that he made any remarks in ST. Louis out
Of harmony with what he said in the COM
mittee at Chicago.

I had hardly settled myself in my seat
says f. Hopkinson Smith in the August
Atlantic, when great shout went up from

rise clear above the noise inside:
Not another word, sir; you don't know
what you are talking about We Ameri-
cans don't rob people we give our lives to
free"
l forced my way in through the door and
stepped inside The Englishman was be-

BILE close enough TO put his hand on any
one of them stood the doctor, curious
set expression on his face.
Towering up above the Englishman. his
eyes burning his shaggy hair about his
face, his whole figure tense with indigna-
ton, stood the Man with the Empty
Sleevel Close behind him. cool polite and
straight as a gendarme. and with the look
in his eye of a cat about to spring. stood
the young Baron As l reached the cen

the provocatiOn and who had struck the
first blow. / saw the Baron lean forward,
and heard him say in a low voice to one
of the Englishmen, He is so Old as to be
his fadder; take me- and he tapped his
chest meaniugiy with his fingers. Evidently

The old man turned and laid his hand

off him, gentlemen, if you please. l don't
think he has so far lost his senses as TO
strike a man twice his age, and with one

and to the room and to your own friends
who, must be heartily ashamed of your
conduct"
Underneath almost every Anglo Saxon,
and not very far below the surface, is
bed rock of common sense which you
reach through the shifting sands of pre-
judice with the probe of fair play. The
young man in the check suit, who was now

Knew What He wanted.

A Chicago inebrate VINO had never
known the choicer luxuries of life inti-
mately was taken in hand by a friend,
given a season of liquor cure treatment,
and on his return supplied with money
for q fresh start in life, says the Chicago
News.
He determined to commence with
hearty dinner. So entering well-known
restaurant he sat down at a table ana
began 10 study the bin of fare while the
waiter waited for his order.
He scanned the menu long and earnest
ly, but could see nothing on it with which
he was familiar Suddenly he laid the
card face upward on the table, closed his
eyes and iabbed his fclenuger down saw
agely at random on the printed list with
the air of a man who had made up his
mind.
There" said he, give me some of
that"
The waiter bent down and examined the
line over which the finger rested. He
looked panied
That's Mayonnaise dressing"
"Of course it is. Don't you spose I can
read? That's what I want. Bring me
some of it,"
Certainly, sir. But what do you want
it on?'
Want it on. you chump! shouted the
man. who refused to be corrected "A
plate, of course What do you suppose l
wanted Il on? The table cloth?"
