The Philippine Skirmish.

Word from Washington in
dicates that the Philippine war
is practically at it's close. General
Otis has cablsd that the work of
the commission to formulate a
plan of government should be
FASTENED. A New York paper
asserts that it has reliable statistics
to the effect that the total number
Of Americans killed in the Philip
pine war was 2,2ss. The esti-
mated number Of filipinos killed
is 5000. If these figures can be
relied upon the war will not make
much of a showing when con-
trasted with some of the battles of
the civil war.

DeIuge of Aspirants.

Awell-known Denver politician,
in commenting upon the published
statement that Governor Thomas
had stated while in Washington,
that he was avowed candidate for
the United States senate, remarks
that he has list of thirty-two
applicants for the toga. The
resources of Colorato are just as
abundant politically as they are
ina more material sense-the out
pnt of politicians as wonderful
as the output of the precious
metals.

How is ThisP

Denver has 200 churches and
church organizations, eighty mis-
sions, twenty fraternal societies.
The other day an ex-fireman, who
has been i'll for nearly two-years,
appeared at the county court thouse
with the request that the county
furnish him with grave for a
lifeless little one who had died on
the night previous. After con-
siderable haggling the request
WAS granted. His little home
consisted of one room. A half
dozen crusts of dry bread furnish
ed the lsrder. The meagre fur
niture was being utilized as fuel.
A mother, with two other little
ones, was hardly able 10 be out of
bed. 1he fatner nlreu an eS-
pressman to carry the little dry
goods box that contained the re-
mains of the little one TO the
cemetery, dug its grave himself
and then shoyeIed in the dirt and
left the little mound of mute clay
in sorrow. No funeral services
were held. Denver also has over
one hundred charity organizations.
Sometimes it seems that the idea
of civilizing and Christianizing
the Fllipinos, so they will do as
we do, is bad one.

Something of a Paradox.

Last week Denver grand Jury
brought in a report containing the
startling information that gam
bling is not being conducted in the

the fire and police board ordered
all the gambling houses closed
and the officers sent out to execute
the orders of the board returned
with the frank repcrt that they
had closed twenty-three of the
tiger liars. Someone is evidently
in error.

When the supper hour arrived, the men
allege that they were given nothing to

biscuits. They told the captain, they as.
sert, that they would not work unless
given more substantial food. The yes.
sci was anchored in tho bay and re-

THE Dover State Sentinel says:
>~Mr. Carter found, If we are TO be-
lieve him, constantly increasing
evidence" of disintegration of the
Addicks party. But nobody be-
lieves him; the men quoted dent be-
lieve him and Carter don t believe
it himself. But he is paid to write
such stuff and is seemingly making
a big bluff Of earning his salary.
Carter long ago won a reputation
Nls a space writer, and can cover
as much space as is needed. But
space is the thing with Carter. space
is what he is paid for, space is
what counts. Carter has his uses.
Nature equipped him for just such
a role as he is now performing.
Barnum said the American people
love to be humbugged. In this line
DUPONT and the nti-Addicks outfit
are typical Americans, and Carter
in his star performance is filling
the bill to the Queens taste. Mr..
DUPONT has been criticised for pre-
ferring a Democrat to edit So
called Republican paper. The Re-
publican party, so far as history
records. has never produced a
George Carter. Carter is SUI

most important place in the general
scheme of the anti-Addlcks outfit.
