legations that Cans quit in the Mccoy

DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF TRADE
Panique Luzon, Dec. 15.-Here is a curious
and difficult thing about the American Occupa-
ton Of this country. The official language Of the
courts, the only medium. indeed, of communica-
ton, is the Spanish language. The American and
TagaIo to transact business must use tongue
foreign to both. A few interpreters of English
and Tagalo are to be found. but until the people
of the country learn English there is to be much
misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Just
now there are mutual strugglngs to get forward
The schools are beginning instruction in Eng
lish, but some years wilie be necessary before
this knowledge is practically available

to sacrifice large sum for any souls redemp-
ton, will first change his gold or silver money
into copper coins before throwing it into the

soul will profit by his Offering

The same Is true regarding marriages and
buriaIs- The vanity of the Filipino who Is very
fond Of ostentatiOn. favors the enriching of the
friar. He IS ambitious 10 have people say Of
him that he excelIed all his neighbOrs by giving

present on the occasion of his chiIds marriage

Masses are another inexhausube source Of
income for the religious orders. Many Filipinos
IN their last wills bequeath various amounts Of
money for masses to be said for their souls
There have been cases in which the amount be
Queathed for that purpose reached the sum Of
10000 pesos. Moreover rich and poor alike seize
upon any pretext to pay for a mass. Sometimes
it Is sought as a cure for disease. at other times
because q son has received q degree in the uni
versity, or perhaps to celebrate the completion
Of a house. Many merchants. especially among
the halfbreeds. also pay for masses when ship

is IL the Philippines no other birth record than
that kept by the Church Besides, the average
Filipino is very devout and would rather be
whole week without food than allow his child
to so unbaptized- But the padre is not content
with his legal fees. He knows how TO draw
from the faithful the utmost they can afford to
give up and he spares none. It is customary to
present to the chuTchman on such occasions gifts
ranging from piece Of furniture, a horse, a
gun, etc, worth usually several times as much
as the obligatory cash payment, up TO costly
gems. Should any one fail to comply with this
custom he is sure to lose his standing in the
community.

IDAHO FOR M'KINLEY.
, ...,,,,n State Committee Estimate on the
N.Y. Vote Of the State.

Tho campaign in Idaho is now SO far
,..rced that some estimate can be made
e,hs relative strength of the parties now
s.st;ng the suffrage of our people, and
49, state committee believes it due to the
.,,,;cans of Idaho that statement be
:.r them. Every effort has been made
nave careful canvass made of the
,srs Of the state, and SO far as has been
,s.rd it is a careful and satisfactory one.
While it is yet by no means complete the
,o,, probably represents the sentiment Of
,he whole state, as precincts from ma
:or;,v Of the counties and from all sections
IS the state have been canvassed.
There are in Idaho 1874 precincts, and
complete returns have been received from

=, on, The canvass shows Io,7o3 ofthese
to be republican, 6,3l9 to be democratic.
FOL populst, 400 silver republican, 36
nrohibitionist and 1873 doubtful.
These same precincts cast in 1898 for
governor 5,957 republican votes, 6,3S3
fusion democrats and silver republicans)
so. populists and $50 prohibitionists.
1t will therefore be seen that the repub-
lcans have over as per cent of the votes
cauyassed, while 16H are doubtful. 1t is
a truism which every campaign has
proved, that the doubtful votes 60 to the
marty toward which the sentiment has
been tending. For the republicans to
have majority over all, in the precincts
canvassea, it is but necessary that they
shall receive little over one-fifth Of the
vote which is classed as doubtful, and it
is safe to say that they will receive three
6fths if not more.
The percentage of gain of the republi-
cans in these precincts over 1893 is little
over 70 per cent, while the gain of the
fusionsts is little over S per cent. If
this proportion of increase keeps up

for believing it will not, republican vic

Pardon Me But

What is there about Bryan to make you
think he could save your soul?
Who has he behind him? The ragbag
brigade. Every chap who lost his job
because he knows he ought to have lost
his job is for Bryan. Every chap who
wants to amt everything that is, and
is everything that amt, is for Bryan.
The crank, the chap who has been, in
succession, member of every political
party, every faction, fusion and caucus, is
for Bryan.
Why?
Shouldn't they be? They've tried
everything else under the .heavens and
