What Speaker Henderson Said
Ofthe A. II. A,


of the A. y. "A.
The "Catholio Citizen" reprints
the following extract from the
speech which Speaker Henderson
made last March against the bigots
who wanted to exclude the Provi-
dence Hospital in Washington
from any share in the district ap-
propriations; and for which speech
the A. p. A. strenuously, but vain
ly, tried to prevent his election as
Speaker. Said the Speaker then:
"Gentlemen may think deeply on
this question. L do. It is we'll
known that 1 am no Catholic. Per-
haps 1 am in big luck if 1 can be
regarded as thoroughbred Pro
testant / do not wear any relig-
ious shaokles. The religion of God
is unfettered. / realize the claims
of humanity, wherever 1 find it, in
health or suffering. But 1 can re-
member the time in 1861, when, in
the Good Samaritan Hospital of
st. Louis, these Little Sisters
with their white bonnets and their
pure, innocent faces, received into
that institution my comrades who
had measles and smallpox and
nursed them as only wives and sis
ters nurse. And from that hourin
1861 1 swore that 1 would defend
them in their works of mercy. And
1 have done so on the floor of this
House, with the a. p. A. organiza-
ton in my city. And 1 do. it to-
night, defying those who would
throttle an orphan child and bow
the supple hinges of the knee to
worse than 'sectarianism'-to a
moro bitter tyranny than 'sectarian-
ISM No CROSS or crescent is more
dangerous to this republic than.
these men who meet in secret and
try to intimidate congress from the
discharge of sacred duty to the
fatherless and motherless. / have
discussed this question before. /
feel all that man can feel in my
earnestness about this matter. IL
feel the impulses of man who
should do his duty even if a Da-
mascus blade in the hand of some
secret organization is held over him.
ImpcriaIist Prop Knocked From
Under.
Italy has agreed to an open door
policy in the Orient This means
that there is now no dissenting
voice, and that trade will be as free
to Americans who wish to do bust
ness with China as to the citizens
of countries having so-called
"spheres of influence" Thus one
in favor of the permanent
retention of the Philippines falls
to the ground. We have been re-
peatedly told by the imperialistic
press that we should keep the archi-
ipelago in order to insure the easy
movement of our commerce on the
of Asia. That desidera-
tum has been secured without load
ing ourselves with an old man of
the Eastern sea. Now why should
we, from a purely material stand
point, continue to pour our blood
and treasure into a section with
which we have nothing in common?
To be sure we may need coaling
station for our ships there, but that
could have been secured without
the firing of gun or the sacrifice
of life.
The ethics of the case enter in
to this argument not at all. of
course we have no mortal right to
take away from insular people
their homes and to desolate their
fresides, but under this Admins
tration's code of morals it does no
good to consider ethics.

Gilmore and his party of the York
town have been in the hands of
the TagaIs since last April and
have suffered many hardships.
The gallant mon of the Thirty
third and Forty-seventh infantries
who made the rescue after long
and hazardous pursuit are deserv-
ing of all praise.

Relief For the Clerks.

Twelve hundred men and women
probably fifty of whom are from Ohio
| are pounding punching machines in
the Census Building on First street,
| diagonally opposite the Capitol
grounds, and every cne of them is suf-
fering from the heat. Notwithstand-
| ing the fact that Director Merriam
has done everything in his power to
lessen the discomforts at the office,
there is a great deal of complaint
among the clerks Of the intolerable
heat and the binding glare from the
glas roof overhead. The large room
full OF clerks is busily engaged in
learning the intricacies of the punch
ing machine in order to properly
count the census of the United States
as soon as the schedules from the Su-
pervisors are received. The work in
itself is not difficult, nor it is trying,
except in its monotonous repetition,
but under the glare Of a summer sun
and the accompanying heat il is well
nigh unbearable. Big white canvas
awnings have been spread over the
roof, while 100 electric fans have
been scientifically arranged about the
room to keep the air in circulation.
Director Merriam mas provided two
rooms, where any one taken with a
sudden illness may be Immediately
carried. There are among his force
two trained nurses, and these have in
struetions to reDor. at once to the
sick rooms and render assistance
There is a complete medical chest
ready, and everything necessary for
comfort and temporary treatment of
the sick.--Cor, Commercial Tribune.

MEETING
Of Citizens Organization to Com
plete Arrangements for the
Fourth.

The Citizens Organization met last
evening in the Offices of Broker Rich
ardson to further consider the plans
for the Fourth. The time was spent
in hearing reports and making ar
rangements to carry out the program
in detail There are great many lit
tie things that must be attended to and
the committees are doing their work
carefully.
Mr.. C. R. Richardson was appointed
chairman of committee to be select
ed by himself, to secure hotel accomo-
dations for the aeronauts, members of

Future Skyscrapers.

A few days ago there was introduced
in the Board of Legislation of this city
an ordinance to limit the height of
new buildings. 1t is a new thing here,
but we believe that the proper author
tiles in more cities than one have had
the matter under consideration in
times past, but without any actual re-
suits. 1t is a question with two sides,
both of which have been well sustain
ed with many able arguments. 1t is
not worth while to repeat them at this
time, but it is worth while to say
that high buildings, skyscrapers, as
they are now designated, have come to
stay, for a time at least. At present
they are given over largely to Offices
in the upper stories, but the time will
come when there is an oversupply for
this purpose, and then certain classes
of trade will secure the needed amount
of floor space and transfer their bus
mess to the high attitudes.
Already in some cities floors two or
three hundred feet above the pavement
are given up to restaurants and bar
Der shops. In due time the cafe, with
bar attachment, will get near the
clouds, and then smaller lines will
follow where floor space is not prime
esential. In time we will see entire
blocks or squares covered by high
buildings. These, perhaps, will be the
joint property of the owners of the
realty, each one contributing pro rata
for heat, steam, elevator service and
care of the building. Within a mon
ster of this kind there will be the big
gest of hotels, enormous department
stores, theatres, offices and flats, to say
nothing of smaller establishments like
those for millinery goods and gentle
mans furnishing goods as high as the
twenty-fifth floor. There is, in fact,
no limit to the Possibilities in case
like this. AS to the public welfare,
and how 1t will be helped or hndered
by such an innovation, an opinion is
valueless. Nothing but time and ex-
perience will demonstrate problem
with so many unknown factors

A Study Of the FiIipino,.

The Filipino character Is hard tc
understand. The native islander is q
mercurial individual. showing one
side of his nature one day and an en-
tirely different side the next day. In
all his years, from callow youth to Sc
nility, he is childish. He is so charne-
leon-like in his versatility that his
character is problematcal to the civ
ilized foreigner. Besides these ever
changeful phases OF the individual,
there are many kinds OF the Filipino.
Found in some districts he is in saw
age state. In others although re-
duced to a condition of docility, he Is
a harmless barbarian. Occasionally he
is civilized but in this latter aspect he
retains his old characteristics of unre-
liability and his lack of tenacious ad-
herence to any fixed opinions. He
loves one day and hates with just as
much cordlality with the next sunrise.
Hurry and worry are two troubles that

fences. Trouble and sickness he en-
dures with the stocial fortitude of the
fatalist STEPPED in sensuahty. he is
a fiery and Jealous lover and husband.
An inveterate gambler, he esteems his
game rooster above either his wife or
his children. Devoid Of conscience,
he is ever untrustwcrthy. He is fond
of pomp and circumstance and the cer-
emonial forms of religion are the only
ones that have for him any allurment
Phelps Whitmarsh, in recent arti-
Gle in The Outlook, subjects the native
to an analysis that is interesting. He
finds him a jack -of-all-trades and mas
ter of none; an apt imitator of any &C.
centricities of dress he may see, but
devoid of esthetic taste. He is neither
an artist, a musician nor deep schol-
ar.
Except in cases where his jealousy is
aroused, Mr.. Whitmarsh has not found
the Filipino revengeful. Revenge
seems to be beyond the limits of his
indolent, forgetful nature. He resists
punishment, unless he believes it is
justly deserved, and then he submits
to it and dismisses it without harbor-
ing resentment. With money he is a
spendthrift, but his honor will not per-
NIT him to rob a guest. Among his
better qualities is open-hearted hos
pitality. The truth does not abide in
him. He will faithfully serve an en-
ployer for a quarter OF a century and
then run away with enough money to
court the favor of sweetheart. All
in all he is curious and contradictory
combination, whose conduct may nev-
er be predetermined. In concluding
his analysis of the Filipino character,
Mr. Whitmarsh says: "No one can
understand his character because he is
not yet sufficiently developed to have
a character "--Columb Dispatch.

year having been s315,0OO, ,OO0 The
war in South Africa stopped work in
most Of the gold mines in that sec
tion during the first half of 1900, but
as the British are now in possession Of
all the mining territory, they will at
once resume work and will probably
increase their average of $4,000 900 a
week during the remainder of the
year. Anyway the increase in other
sections OF the world has more than
made up for the decreas in South Az
rica, making 1t certain that the pro-
duction of the world for the first half
of 1900 has exceeded that of last year.
Mr.. Roberts predicts that the worlds
annual output of gold will soon exceed

The exigencies of the naval service
in connection with the war in China

Secretary Long volunteering for any
service that may be needed of them
on account OF the Chinese trouble,

Ocean Liners Will Reduce
Passenger Rates.

The White Star and Cunard Lines
| have changed their winter rates to the
eastward, to begin August /, instead
Of October 1, as formerly, and there is
CONSERVATION among the other big
transatlantic lines The change is
one of the most important in years,
inasmuch as it reduces the prices for
August and September from S125, the
minimum summer rate for the Ocean
ic, to SIS; from 500 to $50 for the Ma
jestic and Teutonic and from s75 to
$50 for the Germanic. The same grade
Of prices will exist for those months
on the Lucania and Campania, the
Etruria and the Servia.
A prominent steamship agent said
would naturally have to meet this
change, and start their winter rate
sheets two months in advance of the
regular time.
When the German lines heard of it
there is aid to have been most bit
ter denunciation of their competitors.
To an agent of these lines who called
on the White Star Line to give his rea
son for 93 13 per cent and, in one or
two cases, bigger reduction for August
and September, the following state
ment is said TO have been made:
THE Paris Exposition as an induce
ment to Americans to travel is fail
ure. People are not going abroad in
the numbers that they should, and
they never will with the rates that
careful consideration, and could only
see in the falling off in the number of
tourists as anticipated the fact that
the rates were too high. We decided
to reduce them for August and Sep
tember, making the prices for those
months to the eastward just what our
regular winter rates would be"
One of the managers of the largest
tourists agencies, when asked if he
had heard of the change, said: "Yes,
| have just received the corrected rate
sheet issued yesterday. l do not think
there will be any war in rates because
of the White Star and Cunard reduc-
tions. The other lines will change
their prices to conform with these two
lines for the two months mentioned.
