THE FILIPINO WOMAN.
She Il Never Pretty. but Is scrupulously
Clean and Neat.

Sho Il Never Pretty, but IL Scrupulously
Clean and Neat.
Never pretty but scrupulously clean
and with virtue unfailing, the Filipino
woman is like no one else in the
world, and from the white mans stand
point is the least like woman of any
feminine creature. Most women of
tropical countries are fair to look upon,
but the Filipino is the unloveliest of all
the sex. Her eyes are not large, but
they are black and. beady and unread
able. Very often hunger looks out at
you; often hatred, but it is not pas
lsionate hatred. It is stare which
neither revolts nor appeals. 1t seems
to be the result of instinct rather than
an action of the BRAIN. Her nose is
fiat and thick skinned and her hair is
dead black. Then again, as if to make
her, still more unsightly, peck marks
are freely distributed over the face of
nearly every woman of the island. The
Filipino woman has mania for wash
ing, and SO long as water is handy for
her LAYING purposes, she doesn't seem
to mind its nature nor the wherefore N
Its presence. She is mildly devout.
Religion to her is an inflexible duty
bred in her babyhood. 1t is partly
fear, partly pleasure, but in it there is
no fervor Of intensity or fanaticism.

silver Republican. steadra.t.

Hon. A. M. Stevenson of Denver in
an address to the Silver State Central
committee, the other day, was loudly
applauded for expressing the following
sentiments:
II congratulate the members of our
party that they are still united in their
opposition to the Mckinley Republican
party that has for so long been menac
ing the interests of our country. Wnen
we separated ourselves from the parent
body the Republican party was merely
standing in threatening attitude tow
ard the rights OF the people. Now it
has accomplished all that 1t started out
to do. Its work has become a fixed
fact. If there was reason in 1896 for
protesting it seems to me that. if it
has accomplished the act that was then
only threat, there is more reason to
protest now than ever. We are the
only political party that has made sac
rifices for the sake of principle in the
face Of sneers. 1t was no easy satter."

WATCH YOUR CONGRESSMAN.

The late Mr.. David A. Wells wrote
eight years ago a brief and vigorous
article on trusts. which first appeared
in the New England Almanac. No
one who has written upon the sub
tect has grasped the situation with
more thorough comprehension or ex-
posed it more clearly than that wise
student of public affairs and fearless
champion of equal rights. He main
tanned then what has been proved
beyond question since, that the duties
were enacted or kept on in order to
maintain and protect host of trusts
in the United States which could
otherwise have no existence. And he
brought the question sharply forward,
How did your representative in the
last congress vote?" That is the ques-
ton which voters should now be ask
ing. Did he vote protective duties to
favor the trusts which have been
bleeding the American people, and
If he did, will the people trust him
again? Will a new candidate vote to
remove those favors, and, If not, will
the people trust him at all?
Other questions will enter into the
campaign, but in the election of con-
gressmen these are the test questions
which should never for day be lost
sight of, for upon the answer to them
will depend whether the next congress
is to be the servant of the American
people or the slave of the trusts.-Kal-

In a little house just off Hester street

most peculiar trade. She is Sarah

Familiarity called, and east side resi-
dehts know her we'll, and most of them
patronize her. On the window pane Of
her little shop is a sign, which reads:

Her stock in trade is stored up in
thousands of buttons in little heaps
pearl, glass, bone, jet, shell, BRASS
cloth, silk. horn, and every other va
riety of button made. 1t is said the
old woman's business is profitable, and
that she has managed to save about
$4,000 out of her curious occupation.

All the rag dealers know l pay fair
price for buttons, and they save them
until they have sufficient quantity
and then they come to me. Another
way obtain them is by visiting the
dressmakers, who often have buttons
left over, and their customers seldom
ask for them. These can buy up very
cheap. Although my little board out

Philippine Housekeepsrs.

Il never get tired of watching the
simple, primitive methods of Filipino
housekeepers, for their processes are
carried on before the eyes Of all men,
says contributor. The men them
selves do the large part of the hard
work, while the women perch on the
ladder-like steps that lead into their
houses and look on. All the cooking
is done out of doors and usually on the
ground. Their little stoves of red clay
are hardly as large as the iron pots we
have at home. One side is bent down
like the primitive hearth, and the fire
is kept going by long tubes which the
men blow through instead OF using
bellows. On this funny little apology
for a steve they cook their rice or
chocolate, stirring the latter with
carved sticks, which they twirl be-
tween their palms to keep the beverage
from sticking. Often they do not use
the stove at all, but make a fire right
on the ground. between two stones,
over which they set red earthen bowls
ins which they cook. { Philadelphia Ia

-Four years more of Mckinley will
mean five hundred million dollars
more poured into the Philippine rat
hole. That is more than it cost
France to change from a republic to
an empire, and to change Napoleon
from successful general to an en-
peror in exile. Emperors come high.
Students of history are comparing
Mckinley with George III. They
have many characteristics in
common. George III. was prosy,
opinionated, strange combination of
weakness and cbstindcy. He lad q
marked capacity for surrounding
himself with the weakest statesman of
the kingdom. He was equally mac
cessible with Mckinley to the influ-
ence of public sentiment. He made a
marked pretext of religion. He had
no small vices. He finally went crazy.
Nearly all these characteristics are re-
peated in Mckinley, and Daniel Web
ster said in speech delivered in
congress April IA, 1926, that any
statesman who should propose to at
tach to the United States distant, I'M
natural and unassimilable territory
would be a mad man.
