CANNOT WITHDRAW.

| Under the caption, "What to Do With
the Philippines" Gen. Joseph Wheeler
contributes to this weeks issue of Les
lies Weekly lengthy article on the situa-
| ton in the islands as he observed it dur-
ing his service there. He says, in part:
Il believe that the back of the rebellion
in the Philippines is broken. There will
be little more to do in a military way
! There will be some guerilla warfare; it
will not amount to much. AS for Aguinal-
do, 1 do not consider him a patriot. He
was fighting for great prize. Had he Won
he would have been powerful emperor,
mighty dictator.
LAS far as possible, believe that we
should establish civil government in the
Philippines. am in favor Of territorial
government, and 1 see nothing incongru-
Gus in making these various islands into
| territories. The group should be divided
into three or four territories, not only be-
cause of the extent of islands, but because
of the antagonists existing between the
different peoples. Some of these tribes
have ben devoted friends, and it would he
most unfair not to give them the right of
self-government Many of them are al
ready fit for self government in local af-
fairs, and under Territorial Governors APP
pointed by US they would get along very
we'll, am sure.
II consider the Filipinos very superior
people-a people with great possibilities.
They are ambitious; many of them have
been finely educated in Europe; they are
not to be spoken of in the same breath
with the Africans, so far as their POSSIBLE
tiles CO. They are, too, easily governed,
and with the fair treatment which they
will receive from US, we shall have no
trouble with them. They appreciate con-
sideration, l have found, but they are
sensitive and are unwilling to be treated
as interiors; They are little distrustful
of us.
"On the question of ultimate annex
alton or the remote future of the Phil
ippines-whether States would be erected
there or not, in case we annex the islands
4 am not yet prepared to speak, bat do
think that we owe much to the many citi-
zens of the islands who are not Filirinos,
and especially to those Filipinos who have
been friendly to US. If our army were to
be withdrawn from the islands the natives
who have befriended US would be subjected
to all sorts of prosecutions, and many OF
them would meet death, all on account of
their kindness to US

THE DEATH JOUBERT.

The death of Commandant General
Joubert, says the Philadelphia Times,
may prove Of some Importance in the
South African war. He has been the
most influential Of Paul Kruger's asso
ciates in all the affairs of the Transvaal
and was the ablest as well as the most
experienced military leader among the
Beers. Cronje was probably a more
modern soldier, but he is already out
OF the fight. OF the younger com
mandants, whose names We occasionally
hear in The dispatches, we have not
yet learned enough to estimate their
actual share in the war.
Joubert, who mainly directed the
former fights, has been credited with
the general plan of campaign adopted
at the inception of the present war,
and particularly with the invasion of
Natal and the strong opposition SO
long maintained to the advance of
General Butler 1t has been assumed
that the army now concentrated for
the defense of the Vaal would be under
his command and SO little is known of
his lieutcnants-eXcept Oliver, who
has shown good deal Of ability in
getting back from the Orange river
that scarcely any other name has been
mentioned.
1t is known, however, that Joubert
has had the valuable aid of a number
Of European officers, and as a matter
Of fact, the strategy of the Beers has
been of so obvious a character that
the effect Of Joubert's loss is like
ly to be more important in personal
and political than in a military
sense.

pay George Bartholow and John Z. Real

the above mentioned contested election

Georges law relative to sheriffs was I'M
favorably reported.
That the government over pays for low
grade work and uAder-pays for high grade
work has again been emphasized by the
resignation of Hon. A. p. Greeley, Assis-
tant Commissioner of Patents, because OF
his low salary, to engage in practice in
Washin gton, making a speciality of trade
marks and foreign patents. The retire
ment of Mr. Greeley is a decided loss to
the government. He has been in the
Patent Office for sixteen years, has filled
many important positions, including that
of Commissioner, besides writing several
works recognized as authority on patent
law, not only proved his ability, but OK
hibited an amount of backbone seldom
found in government official

footing.

Our recently organized band with
twenty-five pieces has been) obliged
to discontinue footing" for the
present and for the simple reason
that there is a. lack of funds to sup
port an instructor.
The leader of the old North Echo
band, Jake Setula, left the city and
that organization was without
head.
Walter Folsom, leader OF the city
band, went into business SO they
were without an instructor. The
members of the two bands then I'M
tied with the hope of being able to
stand the seige and keep their heads
above water but-they sank.
They thought that by combining
their efforts they could secure some
assistance from the city, but un-
fortunately, there ia a lack of funds
in the treasury for the support of
a musical organization. AS the
boys are all hard working fellows
they do not feel able to go down in
their Jeans" and pay an instructor
and fearing that they might incur a
debt In hiring an instructor, obliga-
lions which they would not be able
to meet by merely giving intertain-
ments and concerts, and not being
able to get aid from any other
source, they temporarily quit the
business"

may soon be found by which the
services OF q teacher can be paid for

three, reported. Mrs. G. w. Massey
said she was able to get the promise
of $77.O0 from the Third ward and
Mrs. F. H. Nero $4,000 from the
Second ward. Mrs. s. F. Staples,
the thirdmember of the committee,
was absent at Fridays meeting so
the success with which she met is
unknown.
1t seems to be the opinion among
the people OF the city that: only
Protestant women are eligible to
join the society and that the only
work of the league is to improve the
condition of Oakland cemetery,
this ia a mistake. The assistance of
women of the Catholic faith is as
much desired as the work of any
other persons and the work. OF the
league is not alone to improve the
condition OF Oakland cemetery but
to better the condition of the appear
ance OF the entire city. The first
work OF the league Is, though, to
improve the cemetery. At Fridays
meeting three new names were
added to the list of members: Mrs.
J. H. Seal, Mrs. M. G. Davis and Mrs.
Lottie Lambert.
The meeting then adjourned. The
next regular meeting will be on the
afternoon of Oct :.
