Philippine War Methods.
Buffalo Courier

SOuiicEs
Many recent reports of slaughter Of
Filipinos, with comparatively insight
icant loss, if any, to the Americans,
have caused considerable comment
and wonder as to the kind of warfare
we are waging there in the name of
civilization. Considerable enlighten-
ing, although far from pleasing, has
been furnished within the past week
by the New York Herald's correspond
ent in Luzon. The Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger is a supporter OF the admin
istratiOn and an earnest advocate of
expansion, but it is moved by the re-
ports to say: "War in its best estate
is saddening enough. 1t is regretable
that incidents are happening in the
Philippines in connection with the
American occupation which call for
severe animadversion OF an observing
correspondent on the scene. The in
cidents referred to SAVIOR too much OF
the Spanish methods. Whatever the
nature or duration of our occupation
of the Philippines may be, it should
have no brutal nor shocking accompa-
niments. These defeat their purpose,
and they will make our task in the
Philippines more difficult" 1t is in
deed something strangely new to our
history if American troops engaged in
a war for the subjugation of people
who are struggling for liberty are SUBJ
stituting massacre for the usage of ma
tions which call themselves Chris
tians.

an. Imperceptibly, and perhaps I'M
consciously, the host OF speakers and
writers who used to lampoon him, and
ridicule him, and try to laugh him OIL
the stump have come to refer to him

As to whether Mr. Bryan's party has
grown in strength and popularity, that
is another matter That is question
on which millions will differ, and the
answer will be read in the election re-
turns next November.

A Pertinent QUESTION.
New York Tribune

new lOrK InDune.
Senator Eugene Hale OF Maine told
recently with amused chagrin of pas.
sage at arms he had with Mr.. WI, the
Chinese Minister. The treatment of
the missionaries of the far East was
under discussion, and the Senator had
trotted out number of instances Of
maltreatment, and even worse, that
the missionaries had met with at the
hands of their eastern brethren. The
Senator then pointed out that this
was hardly the way in which the mis-
sionary should be received, and that q
liberty of faith should be accorded
their subjects by eastern rulers. All
through this homily the Chinese Min
lister had grinned alphabetically, but
q trifle derisively.
Liberty of religious thought, eh?"
WI inquired tentatively, when his
chance came. "You do not always
give liberty OF religious thought in
this country; you sometimes prosecute
the missionary in these great United
States, 1 think?" To this, needless to
state, the junior Senator from the
Pine Tree State interposed a vigorous
denial.
"No, you never do such things here,
never! You never prosecute the poor
missionary! You are too high-mind-
ed. You have too much freedom of
thought for that" And here Wu's
derisive smile grew diabolical. "How
about the Levantine AFFAIR.""
"Levantine affair."" was the puzzled
inquiry.
ayes. Levantine affair; affair at LIE.
want. What did you do there"
And then the Senator suddenly re-
membered the fate of a Mormon mis-
sionary at Levant, Me. The keen Ce-
lestial eye OF the Chinese minister saw
the look of understanding in Senator
Hale's eye, and he drove the nail
home.
"What did you do with that Nor.
mon missionary at Levant, eh? You
gave him what is called the tar and
feathers; is it not so?" But the Sena.
tor had no response at hand.

HE HAD A WIFE WHO SWORE.
Her Oath Proved of Much Material Value to
Her Husband

\ party OF married men were talk,
ing about their wives, and it is worthy
of note that every man was glad Inc
had a wife, and was anxious 20 tell Of
her good points.
~ never heard my wife swear but
once" said one of them when there
seemed to he lull in the praise meet
ing.
All tie others looked shocked. Ii
any OF them had ever heard their
wives swear, they were not telling 1t,
and they resented the frankness OF
the one man who was apparently be-
traying family secrets. But the man
did not regard the bad impression he
he had created.
"And that" he continued in the
same tone, Twas away back yonder,
thirty years or more ago, when the
oil excitement in Pennsylvania agi-
tated the whole country. ! owned a
farm up there that ! had taken for a
debt of a thousand dollars, not be-
cause it WAS worth that much, but be-
cause it was all could get. My bust.
ness was very small then, and thous-
and dollars represented the bulk of
my capital. had been married five
years, and my wife was the very best
investment 1 had ever made. One
day l received word that oil had been
struck on the farm adjoining mine,
and right away I proceeded to 60
crazy, just as everybody else did when
oil showed up anywhere in their
neighborhood. My wife showed signs,
too. but she kept her wits about her.
Inside of week l began to get offers
for my farm, and got crazier every
time there came an offer higher than
the one before it. 1t went up like a
balloon at first, until the figures got
away up, and then the smaller bidders
dropped out. At last An offer OF $780,
600 came from the representative OF
a company that knew was worth two
OF three millions.
''Let it 60, john said my wife,
when l told her of this offer.
al guess not said l. If it's
worth hundred thousand to them,
it's worth a hundred thousand to me.
al tell you to let it co. said my
wife, as firm as post in the ground.
"Not much, said 1. I'll get two
hundred thousand
"She pulled down her apron with a
jerk, popularity of hers when she
meant business.
you're getting a hundred times
more for it than you gave said she,
and you never expected to make
100000 in 100000 years, and you
know it,
"But I'll make a good deal more
than that. now, insisted, and started
back to my desk to write letter de-
clining the offer.
"John Martini said she, don't be o
id foolp
And l wasn't" concluded the mar
rator, "for I accepted the hundred
thousand-dollar offer, and it was
ninety thousand more than the com.
pany ever got off the farm, for the oil
did't seem TO run that way"
