FILIPINos NOT so BAD.

European residents of Iloilo and the
island of Pansy are unanimous in the
statement that the rights of foreigners
have been respected by the natives
since the Spanish evacuation. Agricul-
ture and other useful avocations are
continued as they we're under Spanish
rule. Advices to Hongkong deny the
recent report of the massacre of Span
iards in islands of the Sulu group. SO

THE GOLD PARTY.

The administration party although
fully committed to the gold stands ard,
and wholly subsPrvient to the money
power, yet delays action looking to the
destruction of the greenbacks and Civ
ing to the national banks the right to
fully supply the country with paper
money. As the News. Democrat has re.
peatedly said, these political gentlemen
in power fear the people and therefore
hesitst9 to obey their gold masters, and
carry out their policy to which the Re-
publican leaders are pledged.
Circumstances have favored the ad'
ministration with excuses for delay,
The war and its results have given uf
important questions to settle and these
are pressing and 80 the Republican
leaders have an excuse for keeping the
money reforms in allegiance, although
they claim these reforms are very neces
sary to business prosperity.
Yet the Republican organs are singing
hosannas over the return of prosperity
without these monetary reforms, which
the leaders Of the Republican party say
are 60 necessary. The organ grinder
do not attempt to explain these ap
parent contradictions. According Il
their uttersnces we can have prosperit.

character was a gathering led by the
mayor and chief men of the city, at
