FilipinOs Preserve Their Records.


The Filipinos are addicted to the preser
walton of their records, no matter how un-
important. Down in Albay province our
troops recently found the yearly financial
statement of the rebel government. While
1t is thought Its figures are untrue, 1t is in
teresting as an example of how the rebels
do business and maintain their prestige
among their people.
In the balance sheet for 1S99-19OO the in
surgent minister of finance states that dur
Spanish government in administering affairs
amounted to s17,474.020, Mexican, but
thanks to the capacity Of the revolutionary
leaders, the total expenditures Of the in
surgent government for last year only
amounted to $6.342, 407 All this economy
was effected while the Manila custom
house, a most lucrative source of income,
was in the hands of the Americans. 1t was
promised that soon as the rebels gained
possession of Manila, which would be in
few weeks, they could manifestly reduce
the rate of taxation. In the meantime
money was needed and 1t was incumbent
on all good patriots to pay all the tax col
finance in presenting his statement de-
scribed Aguinaldo's glory and invulner-
ability and the good time coming to every
body, when the Americans would be finally
driven from the islands,
The insurgent government undoubtedly
handled considerable money last year, but
whether they collected $6.00O00O. Mexican,
have been especially heavy in the matter OF
arms. Filibusters and others have made
them pay exorbitant prices for everything.
Two of their generals, Pana and Lut-
banare, are said to have large accounts IN
the Hong Kong banks.

Troubles Over an Ice Plant.


The Manila papers printing much

age warehouse, which has been under way
for months without remarkable progress.
The architect of the building, Mr.. Edward

Strong, formerly an engineer CT the navy,
We're sent to Manila by the quartermaster
general to act supervising architect and
consulting engineer. Gen. Otis detailed
Maj. RoudieZ of the army to have charge of
the work. There constant friction be-
tween the major and the civilian engineers.
Finally Mr.. Barrath rendered his resigna-
ton. Maj. Roudiez returned it with the
statement that the resignation was not ac-
cepted, but that Mr.. Barrath was dis
charged by him. He also discharged Mr..
Strong. These gentlemen appealed to Gen.
Otis, who declined to consider the question.
They returned to the United States to lay
the matter before the War Department,
claiming that the Manila authorities, espe-
cally Maj. Roudiez. had no authority to
discharge them. The American workmen
employed on the building are protesting be-
cause they are compelled to work ten hours
a day in tropical country. The local pa
pers are protesting because the cost of the
building-s5D.6U-is charged to the reve-
nues of the islands. They argue that it
should be paid for by the United States,
because it is to be used solely for the stor-
age Of army supplies.

Republican Control Of DiIemmns.

Not long ago a distinguished representa-
tive OF The trusts In the United States Sen
ate said that although the Republican party
occasionally had its dilemmas. il always
knew how TO get out Of them. A small cir
cums,aucc. developed within a day or two.
10 our mind strongly illustrates the truth
OF this declaration.
For week or more the country has been
wondering how the Administration would
be able to find a way TO save the uecks
Of its leading adherents in Kentucky. with
out openly outragiug public sentiment and
tile law By sending Federal troops into the
State for he purpose Of defeat
ing the ends of Justice The man
ner in which the dilemma has been
managed reflects unbounded credit upon
the splendid diplomacy of the Repubn-
can organization and its representatives IN
political control Of the nation. Instead OF
incurring the campaign pains and penal
ties which would result from direct inter
ference. an arrangement has been made BY
which the Republican Governor Of Indiana
offers safe asylum TO the Kentucky pa
triots implicated in the assassination con
spiracy which led to the murder OF Gov
ernor G1e5eL He promises not 10 recog-
nize any demand for their extrsdition
made by Governor Beckham. and il IS IN
derslood that all Of the leaders who are
no already behind the bars within a day
or so vii! take up their residences across
the river in Hoosierdom. Even now there
is one visiting statesman in Indianapo-
lis who il he were at home. would stand
an excellent chance OF dancing on air. and
ne expects to be joined by quite large
contingent Of people like himself
We DO not like to say anything unLind
OF the worthy Indiana Chief of State. II
he sympathizes with assassination as a
proper means for advancing the intere SITS
Of his party, and seeks 20 promote it, he
is eminently right in the course he is
adopting. Hereafter. when Republicans
fail to carry any given Commonwealth by
resort to the good politics" and sound
business methods" % ably advocated by
Mr.. Hanna. all they will have to do will
be to assure themselves Of the assistance
OF a Republican Governor in some adjoin-
ing State. and then go in and butcher their
own Chief Magistrate and sufficient
number Of their Democratic legislators to
control things. Governor Mount, OF
Indiana. has solved a difficult problem.
