Bristol Business College.

We congratulate Prof. NJ. NJ.
Lemond, president of the Southern
business College, on the merited sue
cess OF his splendid school. More
than one hundred students have been
enrolled so far and this number will
be greatly increased before the end Of
the colleges first year in February.
Many students were kept away from
the city during the fall on account of
the smallpox, but that is now out Of
the way and a fine opening is ex-
pected in January. Statements from
the mayors and boards of health say
that the pest houses have been empty
for several weeks past, the city's
population vaccinated and that small
pox in the city is now almost an i'm
possibility. The business men of
this rapidly growing city believe in
this school and it cannot supply one
half their demands for its graduates.

 l think the Philippines. as I have said, of jmmeasurable value to the United States, not only on account of their location and uh- told wealth, but for the splendid markets they will open to us in al-. mast every branch of American in dustry, and 1t cannot be possible that the American people are go ing to throw away this grand op- portunity, which you might say has all but been presented to us as a present. l pray not. There are too many good Americans now here, and even if our friends at home should forget us, we will make ourselves felt, and teach these people how to run 9 government on American plans aud American principles, and do honor to the na. ton.
 It cannot be possible in this cen tury that such a country as ours, with such a great people, with her prosperity, stability unequaIed by that of any nation of the earth, i3 going to make such 9 grave mis- take as to withdraw her support and her army from here. No, God forbid. A man 10 really appreciate his country in it's entirity has only to make the trip here and see what I am seeing.
 What proyokes me most and makes my heart bleed as many thousands of other soldiers along the firing line is that some of our people should advocate the same condition of affairs in this country as many of the insurgents them selves advocate. These people here to whom I refer may be found at any time waiting in ambdsh for the opportunity to kill the first American that chances to pass Only those who have gone up against a real ambush case will ap- preciate the true condition and the wrong of our people at home are do ing those are who compelled to meet with the result of tn -ir encourage ment to these half civilized people.

 try, also the conditions surround. ing the United States in it's occu. pancy Of these islands. This is
 going to develop into a great coun-
 try some day and vast fortunes are
 going to be made from almost every
 source of business-timber, lumber
 manufacturing, mines, stock and
 agriculture, but no one at this mo-
 ment can tell what is best to do.
 It will require considerable money on the start in any of these busi : ness pursuits. The natives know little of thelr country, and gener- ally speaking, are too lazy and in- different to find out. Fine grazing in the mountains and foothills, the best timber I ever saw and the pur- est water.
 Manila, the chief city of the Phil ippine group, IS already an Amer ican city, and busy one too. It is great city, indeed, with a great future with this whole country. The United States made no mis- take on the Philippines. l at one time since arriving here was in doubt, but while entertaining that doubt I had seen nothing but swamps, war and trouble. Since then I have seen the better part of the Philippines and many of It's people and I am no longer in doubt, and if the people of the United States will keep their politics out of this Philippine question and use every effort in harmony with our great and good president and his subordinates to end the trouble here, they will then have done their whole duty as Americans, and sup port the army and the army will do the rest. There never was a more humane army, nor humane officers, organized under any flag of the world.
 There are no politics in this ques- ton, and there is no use in anyone trying to make a political question out of it. Our nation needs these islands for the great questions which are now arising across the water in China, gives us home for our boats and soldiers, and why not show our loyalty to the people and to the world by keeping them and maintaining good government among them-the same that gov erns us all, and no more and should be no less, and something they never have had.
 Those who have not had the chance of seeing fer themselves, as I and many thousands of others have seen and are seeing, should at least be willing to accept the state ments of those who are here and ! are absolutely in good faith, when speaking or writing home concern ing the Philippines. l am one among many who are here and have been from one end of Luzon i to the other. l have met and talk. ed with thousands of people of diff ferent classes, and 1 arrive at but one conclusion, and that is that the position of President Mckinley is
