West Pointers show Their Training.
From the Boston Transcript

In the parrot and monkey time which
is going on between the general staff of
our army and the generals who have CON-
manded in the field, West Point has no
share. Neither Miles, Eagan, Shafter nor
Corbin is West Pointer. Take him all
in all, and make what allowances you
will, the West Pointer is usually the best
officer to be found. He has the advantage
OF having learned before he gets his first
commission what other officers have had
to acquire in the school of active service,
and the traditions and teachings of his
alma mater render him digni6ed and de-
corous. The three great generals of our
civil war, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
were West Pointers, and among the Off
GERS who have been conspicuous in the
war with Spain in everything but contro-
versy, graduates of the military academy
have held first places.

Gen. whittier on the Philippines.

''Nothing in the world is easier of settle
ment than the situation in the Philippines.
1t could be settled in three days" Such
is the conviction of Gen. Charles A. Whit
tier expressed in New York the other day.
Gen. Whittier went to Manila with Gen.
Merritt and there served as collector until
the end of October. His position there
gave him ample opportunity for observing
the conditions in the Philippines. "In the
first place." said Gen. Whittier, "there Is
wide ignorance of the wealth of the Phil
ippines and the character of the natives.
The natives are not ignorant; they are not
savages. They are adept at manufactures
and as accountants, mariners and railroad
operatives. They are quiet, most temper
ate, and have shown great ability in their
military affairs. With firmness, accom-
panied by diplomacy and tact, think It is
the simplest matter possible to bring them
under our control. We may give them Of
fees of minor Importance, both military
and civil, and try the experiment for what
ever number of years may be necessary,
until they develop their capacity for gov
erning, and we can then be guided by that.

If you visit the Mobile Mardi Carnival,
reader, be sure and call at Temperance
Hall, where the Fourth Annual Bazaar
for the benefit of the Mobile Inflrmary
and Training school for Nurses will be
held. This being strictly an undenomi-
national enterprise it appeals to every
philantropic heart, and the ladies of the
Bazaar Association most earnestly solicit
the hearty cooperation of all classes of
our citizens. Mrs. Augusta Evan Wilson,
the widely known Southern authoress,
says of this benevolent cause: "We ask
assistance of all benevolent men and
women, who, in responding, will surely
realize that what we frankly give forever
is our own and that 'as the purse is en-
piled the heart is filed. ~
