The Philippines.

Mr.. Editor Twas interested in
the article in recent issue of The
Age on the Filipinos. We have no
reason to question the ability of
many of the inhabitants of those
islands and that opinion is confirmed
by what Mr.. Wildman says--''The
Mcstizos are ambitious but corrupt"
However, they seem to be successful
in gaining and holding the conf
dencc of the people. He further
says: "Hc { the Mestizo] was Sue
cessful in the first revolution, and
with the advantage of experience
he hopes to accomplish his aims in
the second. He proved himself the
equal of the Spaniard in duplicity,
and he thinks to bring us to like
terms"
We have had repeated informa.
ton since Dewey captured Manila
that the Spaniards were hcmmet
in there; with these acknowledge
ments, what authority had Spain te
sell those islands, or what right had
we to buy them' 1t seems to mt
we only bought the war, or, as MIR
Wildman says, to ''thoroughly sub
due if not to Danish them This il
what Mr.. Mckinley calls benevolen

Christians talk as though IT wa

The calf skin tannery mentioned
in this column two weeks ago as
probability seems to be already
assured. DR.. r. NJ. Chase with no
great effort secured subscriptions
amounting to about $1,000 from the
business men and this sum will be
applied to fitting up the old shoe
factory building for its new purpose.
Mr.. Querin will have F. l.. Pippin
associated with him in the business.
They have already bought mach'-
merry which will be brought on as
soon as the building is ready for it.
The committee on subscriptions
for building tannery to replace the
one destroyed by fire has its plan OF
campaign marked out and is getting
to work in good shape. Owing to
the amount which some Of the mon
eyed men have lost in tannery in
vestments in the past, the committee
does not expect many large sub
scriptions. Its members look for a
good result however, from giving
everybody a chance to help.
