Recent events in the disturbed
districts in Luzon give especial
interest to the study of Filipino
character by Phelps Wh1tmarsh
in the current Outlook. General
statements upon this subject are
difficult, because there are SO
many kinds Of Filipinos. In
some parts the native is savage.
In others he is a tanned barbarian.
In still others he is semi-civilized.
In a few instances he is really
civilized. In all cases he is a
child from birth to death, frivo-
lous, unthinking, and constant only
in Inconsistency. His want of
tenacity in his opinions, leading
him to accept today what he re-
fused yesterday, and to hate to-
morrow where he loves today, is
what makes the Filipino 80 diff
cult for Europeans to understand.
The Filipino never hurries or
worries, and is destitute of nerves"
in the Western sense. He endures
hardship and calamity with won
derful calmness, and is essentially
a fatalist. He seems to have no
sense of gratitude or affection,
save that resulting from sexual
attraction. Even foster-mothers
will leave, without word Of regret,
the children they have nursed.
He is prone to sensuality, and the
most jealous of lovers and hus-
bands. But even in his crimes he
is childish. He will serve an
employer honestly for twenty
years, and then run away with
800, out of a safe containing
$4,000, to crafty some woman's
whim. He is easily impressed by
show, and cannot believe that a
man who lives simply can be
either wealthy or powerful. He is
an inveterate gambler, and saves
his ighting-cock from his burn
ing house before his wife and
children. He delights in cere-
monial religion, and has no con-
ception of worship without images,
lights, and ritual. His only
conscience is fear Of consequences
He is Jack at ell trades and
master of none, and will drive a
carriage, cook dinner, or paint q
) house with equal facility. Despite
his nearness to the art of the
| Orient, his esthetic taste is very
weak. The women stick to their
picturesque native dress, but the
men will Immediately seek to
initiate any eccentric costume a
foreigner of station may choose to
wear. Even the women show
little taste in color. In the fine
arts Filipino shows no creative
power. He has produced but one
painter Of even second rank. He
composes no original music, al
though his initiative faculty makes
him a rapid learner and clever
executant of others compositions
Many natives have studied in
European colleges, but few have
been successful. In acquiring

ledge the Filipino is facile but
superficial.
Mr.. Whitmarsh does not believe,
contrary to general opinion, that
the Filipino is either rancorous OF
revengeful, except when his jeal-
ousy is reused He is too indiffer-
ent, indolent, and forgetful to
pursue even revenge. He will
not tolerate punishment without
cause, but his resentment is con.

Seattle's Fourth of July COM
mitteo promised the citizens q gala
day on the Fourth and they more
than kept their promise. The day
was ushered in with the usual
buzz, boom and roar of cannon aud
fireworks. The thronging crowds
surging to and fro on the streets
left no room for doubt that the
people we're out for night and

the very best of it. The steam
boats and railroads brought their
loads of humanity the morning of

81 came to live in Seattle for the
express purpose of getting a
divorce" said a delicate looking
little lady one day this week in
Judge Benson's court, who was
asking to be legally separated
from her husband aon the grounds
of non support and cruel treat
ment. This was a fatal admission
In her case, and. for time at
least, it will prevent her from
getting her separation papers.
From the above it would appear
that Seattle is the place where
divorces are easily. gotten if the
applicants only know when to stop
talking in their own defense. Al
most as many divorces are granted
III this city as there are marriage
licences issued, which, to say the
least, is deplorable. In this in
stance neither laughableness nor
ludicrousness play any part, but
deplorableness is the entire shoot
ing match.

A rather devout appearing
young man, who talks long and
loud at church meetings on Thurs
evenings, was seen not many
evenings ago in such a beastly
state Of drunkness as to be lament
able. "Is not that Mr. B. who is
devout member of the
church," was asked. at is" was
the reply. "Then I will go and
talk with him." On ADDRESSING the
young man and asking, "do you
think that you are doing the right
thing, and do you think you are
practicing what you preach on
Sundays?" the following came
from the gentleman who had
imbided too freely of pepper and
ginger: swell now, my friend, you
must not do as | do, but do as
tell you to do" bit laconic,
nevertheless scriptorial. Those
who heard it burst forth in a roar
of laughter much to the discomf-
ture Of the would-be chastisine
administering angel.

One day this week Bonney &

is noted for it's gentleness, was
standing waiting for the wagon to
be loaded with dead body, when
all of sudden the horses pricked
up their ears and without further
notice or warning took out at Jay
Eye See speed. Down the street
they went knocking wagons and
other vehicles helta skelta until
the dead wagon crashed into a
telegraph pole and brought the
horses to stand still. A kid, who
saw the run away replied to a
question as to what caused it
"Why the undertakers were pre-
pairing to put a Mick and a Coon
in the hearse at the same time and
the horses wouldn't stand it.

''I want to know what is the
matter with my paper as I never
get it?" disgnstedly demanded a
postofice employee Of news
paper publisher one day this week.
'The paper is mailed regularly
and if you do not get it, it is the
fault Of the postoffice department. y
was the publishers reply. Where
upon both Of the men went to the
Office and after inquiry found the
carriers papers all in the Office
marked, "party unknown" Now
this was not only laughable as we'll
as ludicrous, but it was also
damnable, and, it was excusable
on the part Of the publisher, when
he used invectives more forcibIe
than polite to the man having
charge of that particular depart
ment.

well, if there is any one thing

well-known saloon man and
gambler, one day this week. Civ
ing to the cause of Christ by men
who daily rob the Lord of what
rightly belong to Him, and then
compliment themselves for return
ing small pittance Of the stolen
goods, is new method Of finding
relief from a guilty conscience, and
even saloon hangers on always
smile all over their faces, when the
bar tender or the proprietor of
some disreputable drinking joint,

fifty or hundred dollars for
church purposes, for they know
twice the number of robberies will
be committed therein that night to
pay for the amount he has given

LIE what the quid nuncs said
were true, something occurred in
connection with the patrol wagon
one day last week that was very
amusing. A man who had been
taken to the headquarters to sleep
off an excessive jag. proved to be
rather sick when he woke from his
gagged state. 1t was decided to
take him to the hospital for a few
days since he had quite a bit OF
money on his person, which the
police failed to find while he
was gagging. On his way to the
hospital in the patrol wagon he
ordered the driver to 90 to q
saloon and then he ordered drinks
for the gang, which, owing to the
onlookers, was refused by the
policemen, but the fellow took in q
couple of glasses of beer and
bought a handful of cigars. He
was waited upon by the dough
faced policeman who sits in the
wagon while the fellow drives al
break neck speed through the
streets. While this was going on
a great crowd gathered around the
wagon and some very laughable
things were heard about the
policemen driving the prisoners
out to get wined and dined al
the prisoners expense.

One day this week cook IN one
of the prominent restaurants of
this city was complaining of
having the DYSPEPSIA very bad.
"Since [ have been working at
this restauranG," said he, 81 have
not been able to get anything fit
to eat and the say the food is
gotten up is enough to kill mule
let alone a man." at that moment
he remembered that he was the
chief cook there, and he tried to
smere things over by explaining
as best he could, what he meant
by using such language, but the
more he explained the more ludi-
crous became the whole situation.

Grand Marshal Moore had
issued orders that the parade move
promptly at 10 o'clock, but it was
quite IL before it got in motion.
1t may have been slow in getting
in motion, but what it lacked in
promptness it quite made up in
quality. Every feature about the
parade is to be complimented even
to the excessive amount the bands
of music charged for their services.
And on this point it has been sug-
gested that, the brass bands in
future be offered only reasonable
amount for their services on such
occasions and, if the hold-up prop
osition is tried, just cut that part
of the procession out, and that
excessive charging would not be

concluding remark. It is hard to
convince some mer, who labor
under the belief that a "white

editor of The SEATTLE REpUBL1-
CAN is not classed among the
brightest newspaper writer's in the
Northwest by the leading men OF
this section, is because they are
not able to tear off their masoue
of race prejudice. Could they
ever succeed in doing this for but
a short space of time this paper
would be supported as it merits,
and the editor hereof could eat as
regularly as the other fellows.
We take occasion to speak thusly
because such remarks are weekly
made, not that those who make
them believe any one else, save
the man whose name is at the
head of the editorial column. does
do the work, but knowing no other
way to poke fun he tries to make
it appear that a sub rosa editor il

would ever get his pay from, con

patronage this paper gets, it,
