A FILIPINO SPEAKS.

Ramon Reyes Lala, a Filipino, native
born and pure blooded, has paper in
the September Forum upon the peo-
pie of the Philippines Mr.. Lala has
had a thorough English education in
this country and in Europe. He is
highly intelligent, broadly Informed
and just in his judgments.
In the paper referred to he makes it
clear that the Filipinos, of which he
is one, are not original to the islands.
They came as invaders and largely
conquered the abort igines, the Negritos
The Filipino is a Malay; before his COM
ing the Negritos dominated in the ISL
ands and even in Java, the Malacca
and Andaman Islands, and some still
exist in the forests of Borneo.
But the Malays have fairly swept the
no more than $4,000 remain, and these
are mostly in Luzon. The Malay policy
toward them has been that of extermi-
nation. The remnants of the Negritos
tribe has been driven to the mountains
by Malay persecution and the ancient
race is thus rapidly becoming extinct.
The bands Aguinaldo leads, then, are
not original to the soil. They came as
invaders and by war overcame the ma
tive people. OF these Malays, there are,
says Mr.. Lala, about eighty tribes,
some we'll known, some known scarcely
at all. Most of them are civilized or
half civilized, but many live in a savage
state, and there has been some ming
ling of blood with the Negritos.
The two great groups of the Filipinos
are the Tagalogs of Luzon and Visayas
Of the central and southern islands.
Himself a Tagal, of Malay origin, ia
miliar with his people as few are, be-
cause of his opportunities to compare
them with other races, Mr. Lala
tells the Tagal sympathizers in
this country, that he believes the civil
ization of the west should and will pre-
vail over the naturalization of the
east. He holds that 1.-The high civiliza-
tion is sure to tell when pitted against
low civilizations and that Aguinaldo
and his followeres will not be able to
hold their own against the Americans.
He adds:
AS a Filipino, 1 think it is we'll that
they should not; for / believe that the
Government of the United States has
the best interests of the islanders in
view; that it will give them all the self
rule they are at present capable Of ex-
ercising, and that it will start them on a
career Of prosperity such as their ambi-
tious leaders are by no means likely
to open for them.
So here we have the best educated
and most civilized of all the Filipinos
frankly saying that his people will be
better off under the folds of the Amer
lean flag. than under the self-govern-
ment Of which the American Tagal so
much prates and raves, in behalf of a
people who are themselves invaders
and conquerors Of an inferior race

The record-union., 1899-09-15

Max O'Rell, the lecturer, wit and
author. best known by that pseudonym
has written to friends in England saying
that while he believes Dreyfus to be in
nocent, he knows that the present ex-
travagant expressions Of sympathy for
him abroad are doing his cause great
harm. He adds a very significant SEN
tence, namely that but for the demon
strations and expressions of sympathy
for Dreyfus in foreign parts the man
would have been acquitted. He adds
also. 1T is a terrible thing to say, but
I say it, and am not afraid of contra
diction." Few public men have made
closer study of French character than
Max O'Ren" A Frenchman himself
he knows his people and all the springs
and motives which move them to ac-
ton. We are, therefore, justified in
very seriously considering his words
Dreyfus became a necessity for fear
among Frenchmen that his acquittal
would be published abroad as submis-
sion to foreign opinion? Does he mean
to say that France could not afford to
permit any such seeming confession of
fear Of foreign influence? Probably that
is just how he wishes to be understood.
If so, the very ardent friends of Drey-
fus have themselves to blame for mis-
carriage Of justice in his case. If
"O'RelT' is right in his Judgment then
the American German and English
public have been taught lesson;
namely that civilized and competent
nations resent efforts on the part of
outside peoples to dictate to them in
the administration OF their own affairs,
and will carry that protest to the ex-
tent of refusing to do justice, rather
than be open to the suspicion of being
dictated to or of weakly bending be-
meath the moral threat Of foreign
frowns.

At last the Minneapolis & St.
Louis announces the location Of it's
Omaha extension. The middle sur
vey is chosen. Leaving New Ulm,
the line runs through St. James,
where it crosses the Omaha: Sher-
burne. where it crosses the South
ern Minnesota line of the Milwau-
kee thence passing into Iowa to
Estherville, where it crosses the
Burlington. Cedar Rapids & North
ern; to Spencer. where it crosses
the Milwaukee again: Sioux Rapids,
where it crosses the Northwestern.
and finally Storm Lake, on the Hi
nois Central. which will for the
present be the terminus. No sur
veys have been made beyond that
point, the completion of the exten-
sion to Omaha being reserved until
next year.
Fairmont and Madelia wanted the
St. Louis very badly, but it appears
that the two towns were too eager
to gather in all the roads. and when
they secured the Omaha extension,
known as the Watonwan Valley
road, it appears that they queered
the st. Louis from running the New
! Ulm line through their territory.
St. James and Sherburne will gain
what Madelia and Fairmont loses.

accordingly pleased. The day was
superb, the dogs were in fine condi-

was the red letter day of the cours-

Plat Nearly Every Tract
Owned in Section
l6,. V6Std.

Messrs. E. E. Gray and Allen w.
Wood of Chicago. two engineers in
the employ of the Western Town
Lot Co., the town site adjunct of
the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road, arrived in this city on We'd
nesday of last week. and immedi-
ately after taking dinner at the
Commercial House they drove to
section 16. Vesta. where they
remained until Saturday afternoon.
During their stay on section Is they
surveyed and plated nearly all OF
the land recently bought in that
section by the Western Town Lot
Co., and the plat of the new town
will probably soon be on file in the
Office of the register Of deeds OF this
county, and lots in the new town
will soon be placed on the market.
The two gentlemen were exception
ally reticent as to the future of sec
ton 16. Vesta, but the manner in
which they plated the same, and
the large number of lots that will
soon be placed on the market,
according to the plat, can lead to no
other conclusion but that Is, Vesta,
is going to be all that The GAZETTE
has heretofore claimed for it. In
the plat a large amount Of ground
has been marked out for warehouse
purposes, depot grounds and rail
road yards, giving every indication
that the company proposes not only
to have good railroad town there,
but also to draw heavily from the
business Of the St. Louis at that
point.

messed.

The spirng meeting of the Red
wood Falls Coursing club is over,
and Redwood dog, Humboldt Girl,
owned by Harry Laird and sired by
Hector, won the big stake. Local
sports are enthusiastic and the dog
owners from abroad left in COR
respondingly depressed mood.
The final run-off for the big purse
was all that the lovers of coursing
could wish. The race occurred
about 11:30 o'clock Saturday fore
noon. The morning was perfect
clear and cool, with little or no wind
stirring. The rabbit was uncovered
in the high grass just east of Ed.
Dunlevy's farm, and the animal i'm
mediately jumped for the stubble of
the meadow Slipper Curtis got
superb slip on Humboldt Girl and
Larkins, the two competitors for the
big stake, and they went off to-
gether. 1t was minute S chase
over the meadow and then the rab-
bit took to the plowed ground.
Here Humboldt lost by slipping in
the mud, but soon recovered, and
the rabbit again going on meadow
northeast Of the house Humboldt
commenced scoring. Leaving this
strip the rabbit took mile course
to the southeast, and was eventually
lost, Humboldt Girl being declared
the winner by score Of II to 8.
A consolation stake was run off
after dinner. Parille beat King
Douglas, Tally Hooker beat High
Up, and Hector beat Helen Douglas.
The dogs were all in bad condition
and the owners decided rather than
run off that Hector be given first
money, and the owners of Parille
and Tally Hooker be given second
money, and at about 2:3O o'clock
Saturday afternoon the meeting
came to close.
