the United States to govern these people
as conquered nation. to deny them the
right OF liberty and the blessings OF c!ti-s
zenship in their own land, TO use them 1or
our benefit to their detriment. We thlnRs
that It would be monstrous for rs TO suo-
ordinate the interests of the Philippines
to the interests of the United States, but
1t is impossible for anybody to say at TINS
time what IS the course to be pursued
which shall be at once honorable TO the
United States and best for the Filip:nos
The Registers position is that we ought
at once to give the Filpinos their indie
pendence on condition that the insurgents
will lay down their arms. But suppose
the insurgents will not lay down their
arms even with this promise. What will
the Register advise in that event? The
Register believes that we ought to keep
our troops in the Philippines until order
has been restored and stable Government
established. But suppose after having
promised the Filipinos their independence
we are not able to restore order and es-
tablish a stable Government. What then!
The great question, it seems to US, is as
to whether or not we shall desert the
F'ilipinos, especially those who are friendly
to us and who look to US for protection, or
exercise sort of guardian care over them
until we are satisfied that independence
will be to them a blessing rather than
a curse. That question cannot be decided
at this time, and our contention has been
that we must do the best that we can
and meet the emergencies as they arise.
The intimation from the Register that
the United States does not attack China
because it is afraid and is making war on
the Filipinos because they are a feeble
people powerless to resist our designs, Is
an insult to the nation. If we believed
that this Government were capable of
such cowardice, we would refuse to salute
the flag. Such a sentiment is unworthy
Of our Danville contemporary, and we can
not believe that it means what it says.
Much partisan zeal has made it mad. The
United States Government is not the Re-
publican party. It is the American people.
and these people are brave and just and
kind. They demand that the FiEpinos be
treated with every consderat ton, that all
their rights be vouchsafed to them, and
they will see to it that this is done, no
matter what party may be in power.

PROSPERITY AMONG THE MASSES

The Fairfax Herald still contends that
TIE fact that the assessment OF TEAL estate
values in Richmond shows decrease as
compared VITA 1855 indicates that there is
no general prosperity here. and insists tt'a t
there can be no prosperity among the
masses under the gold standard.
But will our contemporary point to a
tine when the masses were more prosperous
than they are urder the gold standard!
Was there ever a time Wen the toai'ns
man had SO many OF the comforts ana
luxuries of life? Were the masses in the
South half so well off before the war as
they are today
The Herald says that II the masses Of
Richmond were prosperous, they would
build houses and own their houses. We
venture the assertion that there are more
t1ome-onners in Richmond to-day than ever
before in the history of the city. and many
who do not own houses are able to rent
comfortable houses with all modern con-
veniences and TO furnish them better than
the average ..trid, mans house was fur
nished fifty years ago.
If the editor Of the Fairfax Herald doubts
this, we invite him to come to Richmond
and look around for himself. Let HIM
look into the homes of the mechanics of
the city and he will see not only comforts,
but what were once regarded as expensive
l.xuries. Let him stroll by these homes in
the sumner evenings and he will see the
mechanic sitting on the front porch smoll-
ing cigar and his wife and children
dressed in pretty clothes and showing
every sign of prosperity. Let him look at
the trolley cars as they hurry along and he
will see 'tfle masses taking an airing
and making such a good appearance that
he cannot for the life of him distinguish
1.-The masses from .the classes Let him
go into the flower stores at Easter and
he will see 'the masses buying vio1ets at
dollar a hundred and roses at three
and four dollars a dozen.
If he will accompany us to one of Rich
mandfs largest industries, we will show
him mechanics who make six and eight
dollars a day. If he will accompany us
to the saving banks, we will show him
hundreds and hundreds OF WorkmenS ac-
counts, with the balance on the right side
of the ledger.
The cashier of one of these banks told
us the other day that the deposits in his
bank increased nearly half a million dol
lars since 1895! Could there be any better
evidence than this that 'the masses are
prospecting?
We extend to our brother of the Fair
fax Herald cordial invitation to come
to Richmond and see the prosperity of the
people. 1t will do him good and show him
that he is totally wrong when he says that
there can be no general prosperity Under
the gold standard.

be a sad mistake to think that all the
widespread and rofound interest excited
by a prize-tisht between two masters OF

envy and admiration of the man who can
take care of himself, who has the strenSth

has this dexterous strength and, IN
sense. this courage developed to degree
of ,,erfection that approaches the mar
