An Armenian and Kurd had quarreled
over the ownership of a tobacco box. As
their language grew more expressive and
their speech louder a crowd collected, de-
lighted with the dispute. The Kurd had
picked up the box on the street and the
Armenian declared it was his. When
they were about To come TO blows police
man came up and tried to effect compromise
but neither disputant would give way.
At last the Armenian suggested that the
Kurd should be asked to declare what was
in the box. The Kurd promptly answered:
Tobacco and cigaret paper The Armen-
ian smilingly informed the officer that all
the box contained was 25-cent piece.
The policeman gravely opened the mys-
terious case, then. turning to the crowd
with the air of Solomon, said:
The Armenian is the owner of the box.

This arraignment of the evils of the
carpetbag system, coming as it does
from the most rabid republican paper
in the state, ought be enough to make
people weigh seriously the question
whether or not we can afford to 20 :in-
to the carpetbag system on such an
extensive scale as must be the case II
we try to govern the Philippines. We
have seen the effect of the carpetba9-
ger in Cuba. Our administr alton of
that island has been disgraced by the
most shameless corruption. Nothing
better can be expected whenever the
officials are not directly responsible
to the people. The plunderers will
