WANTS NO IMPERIALISM.
Senior Lopez Vigorous Reply to DIR.
Schurmnn.

Boston, Mass, November 5.-Senor
sixto Lopez today gave out the following
statement IN reply to that recently made
by President jacob G. Schurman of the
first Philippine commission:
President Schurman has formulated
what is said to be his reply to my open
letter TO him. had pointed out that ne
Lad cruelty and carelessiy." but l be-
Leved "unlntentlonally" mlsrepresented
the condition and degree OF education IN
the Philippines. have showed by facts
within my own personal knowledge that
there were 1873 teachers In my own prov
lnce OF Batangas, or one to each $50 in
habitants. whereas Dr. Schurman had re-
ported that, there were only thirty-one
teachers, or one to each 1908 inhauI.
tanls, / pointed out that the conditions
IN Batangas ,byadned throughout the whole
archipelago. with the exception of Cen
tr4l MindanaO. l stated further that tue
fact THAT the Filipinos are an educated
people Is practically admitted by DE-,
Schurman and by all classes and eondi.
tions or men," To all this and ot0ei
matters about higher education, DR.
Schurman furnishes no reply and eS-
pre- SEES no regret at his cruel mlsrepre-
sentauon, which he practically admits By
his inability to deny or controvert tho
facts Instead OF making any reply
he turns upon me with a TRADE oil
utterly irrelevant and erroneous state
ments about the alleged savage and dis
united conditions OF the Filipinos, and he
makes the most unwarrantable assertions
that II do not deny that the Filipinos
are uneducated and ignorant" He futher
declares that l, by Inference. admit the
truth OF everything in his report, where's
as in my several letters and state
ments to the American press | have
specifically denied practically everything
be says ! admit. | shall have occasion
to refer later to Or. Schurman's reply,
but ini the meantime | may point out
that after declaring that the Filipinos
are abject savages ready to tear eacu
others threats and lapse into anarchy.
and that they are marked by dense tx
nerance," Mr.. Schurman closes his IRE
ply by stating that sit is the mission
OF our Republic TO save the Fillpinos,
who. in general. are most promising, as
Unable and even lovable people"
Thus the truth will come out in spite
OF all attempts TO hide ii. Dr. schur-
man Is one of the best imperialists. II
his reply" is a sample of the fair.
treatment which we may expect from the
best imperiahsts. then may heaven de-
fend us from imperialist rule.

Attacked by ROhhers.

CorsScana. Texas, November 6.--Georgs
Sutton was attacked and badly injured
by three white men and two negroes IN
Chambers creek bottom about 10 O'Clock
last night while he was in buggy com
ing from Rice, where he had taken Mr..
John Thompson, to Corsicana. As he was
driving through the creek bottom ne was
halted by the men and ordered to throw
up his hands and give up his money. Be-
cause he had no money he was beat over
the head with sxshooters until he was
insenslble. 1t was an hour later before
he regained consciousness, when he walk
ed to this city, his assailants having taken
his horse and buggy The rig was found
hitched in the city this morning, the rob-
hers having brought il here. Up TO this
tune there is no clew Sutton is badly
injured.

NOW ALL TOGETHER FOR TEXAS.


Now that the great presidential strug-
gle is over the country can at once get
down TO its work again and for two years,
at least. devote itself unlnterruptedly to
furthering the material progress which
for some time past has been so notable
in certain States,
Among these rapidly developing por-
tions Of the Union none surpass Texas
The fever OF Industrial expansion was
comparatively late in striking this State,
but 1t has already begun to burn hercely
The showing in growth Of population
which We made in the census has attracted
the attention of the press Of the Nation.
Our percentage OF growth was nearly
double that OF the country at large and
we now stand prominently toward the
head Of the list with more than 5000 600
inhabitants,
The general public understand per-
fecty that such large population must
be engaged necessarily in diversified
labors. No State with zoos. 900 peo-
pie would be devoted exclusively to
cattle raising or farming. That degree
OF population presupposes large and thriv-
ing towns. extensive transportation and
commercial facilities and many useful
Industries. The mere fact that we have
50 multiplied in numbers will turn anxious
inquiries IN this direction. Homeseekers
and investors viii want to know what
have been the peculiar inducements that
have enabled Texas to draw population
during the pact ten years at much
greater and faster rate than any of the
other States. Inquiry will result in en-
lightenment and enlightenment in further
progress.
Politics out of the way there should nov
be a concerted movement in and amonu
all the wideawake communities OF the
State to publish our great opportunities
and the facts of our rapid development

THE EAGER STOCK GAMBLERS.

we were told in the dispatches TO yes
terday's papers that the big brokerage
firms in New York whose business is
chiefly with the stock speculations on the
great exchanges would have their offices
open all night Tuesday night. and late
"Wednesday morning. In order TO accom-
modate such people as, might want to
place buying and selling orders for the
Loreon stock market OF today IN conse-
quence of the election returns.
Ia other words. these wide-awake
ganhlers We're determined to allow no
opportunity to pass to work the election
returns for all, and great deal more
than, they were worth. They could not
wait for the more definite returns, as
people engaged Ia legitimate business
would naturally desire to do. but must
eagesly seize the very first wild rumors
and put them on the wires across the
ocean TO pluck the more unsophlstieated
and weak-kneed spectators who might
walk into their trap.
No such chancs for gambling ON a
prcdigious scale has been offered these
fellows for years. Not even IN 1896 was
the opportunity for wild speculation SO
good. because then thGre was more con-

THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

1t looks at this writing as II the re-
publicans had again carried the country
by securing the Nations Endorsement OF
the administration and policies of MIR.
Mckinley.
1t can not be said that the result was
unexpected though the democracy was
hopeful to the last. and confidently an
ticipated different showing from that
now seen in some of the larger Northern
states. In the great cities OF New York
and Chicago. baltimore and Cincinnati.
the returns apa distinct disappointment
to the democrats. and look as II the labor
vote had not at the critical moment given
that support to MIR. Bryan which he had
right to expect. The solidty OF that
vote in the larger cities and manufacture
ing centers, if loyal to the democratic
candidate, could have changed results In
such States as Illinois and New York
and carried Mr.. Bryan triumphantly into
the White House.
II it transpires that the agricultural
and labor vote in the Middle West and
East has been given chiefly to Mr.. Me-
Kinley, as it now appears, then must
agriculture and labor make the best of
its bargain possible with the great trusts
and syndicates during the next four years.
