HOW THE FILIPINoS FIGHT,
They Are Poor shooters and After
the second shot Always
Run Away.

Capt. Isaiah II. Baker arrived here
almost direct from Manila, says the
Portland (Me.) Argus.
Capt. Baker said: eve met the ma
tives and had few arguments with
them as long as they would stop,
which was not long, and then we came
home. That is all there is to say. My
company has travelled 100 miles a
week, and in some places the ground
was so steep that a pony which is ae-
customed to all kinds of climbing
there would find 1t difficult to get
along"
In speaking about the natives and
their mode Of warfare, attacking
from the bush and in other ways, he
said: They cannot shoot, and that is
an absolute fact. BY lying close TO
the trail and hiding behind bushes that
are so dense that one cannot see
through six feet of them, the Flipinos
will shoot some men, but il is only by
pure luck on their part. If they out
number the soldiers, they will fire a
second volley, but that is the end, for
they Immediately run and hide like
animals. The chances are that you
will not see an individual They can
cover two miles TO our one, are bare
foot, spry and active; have nothing 70
carry and know the lay Of the land
have never known of more than three
men being shot at one time. If they
can get to work with their bolos upon
man who has strayed from the
main body, he is very likely to bt
killed or captured. II they could
shoot with any degree of accuracy. il
would require 100000 rather than 100,
600 soldiers to control them. Our mer
know how 10 use their rifles, and the!
always shoot at something.
st is interesting how the Filipinoi
will shoot from ambush. For the frs
vollcy they win take aim with n,
best Of their ability and fire. Perhap
they will hit one or two. As state,
above. II they happen 70 outnumbe
US, they will try second shot. To d
this they will Immediately after firing
the first Shot hide their heads, an,
with their guns pointed in the diree
ton that they imagine is right, the.

DIFFERENT METHODS OF ROBBERY

Who would have thought that
the stage coach robber would sur
vive the nineteenth century? Yet
here he is, holding up coaches in
the Adirondacks and in California
on the same day, terrorizing a score
of passengers and filling his pock-
cts with the jewelry and money of
his victims. The highwayman
fiourished in the West until the
stage coach was superseded by the
railroad, and thcn he took to 9th
er pursuits, holding up train oc,
casionalIy, plundering the baggage
and express cars and stripping
travellers of their valuables. With
in the past month trains have been
stopped by desperadoes in the
West and Southwest and passen-
gers have been compelled to part
with their valuables. Twenty
years ago stage robbing was flour
ishing industry in Arizona, but
gradually those engaged in it came
to believe that the risk was too
great for the profits, and the high
wayman has practically disappear
ed from this region. A few years
ago n mail train was held up in
Virginia, hardly thirty miles from
Washington. There is nothing ro-
mantle, however, in such crimes.
Train robbers are commonplace
ruffians who richly deserve a long
term in prison or the hangman' s
moose.
1t is not to be assumed, how
ever, that there is anything admir-
able in the highwayman that holds
up n stage coach. He may be
handsome and debonair; he may
sometimes spare the ladies purses
while compelling the frightened
male passengers to part with theil
wealth. He may appear to i'm.
pressionable persons to be fas
cinating fellow perhaps the scior
of some good family gone wrong
but for all that he ought to dan
gle at a ropes end just as soon M
the law will permit.
1t is true that the highwaymar
, does very little injury to the public
l when his operations are compared
= with the gigantic schemes to swim
t die by which the unwary are con
3 tinually victimized. Wall stree

THE TARIFF AND THE WORKER.

The cotton operatives at Fall
River, Mass, have decided to strike
against a reduction in wages. The
strike begins on September lst
Under the Diugley law, thero is
practically prohibitory duty on
the cotton cloths made by the
great manufacturing corporations
at Fall River. The wages of the
operatives in the mills Of that busy
center of the cotton goods trade
average less than 81 a week.
That would seem a wage small
enough to be paid by SO highly
protected an industry, but the Fall
River manufacturers think, and
have just voted with practical
unanimity, that it is too large, and
that it shall be reduced Is per
cent. 1t has been some time CON
tended and as often disputed that
not only prohibitive but excessive
tariff duties do not protect the
operatives of the mills, but the
mill owners alone. We shall not
pretend to decide this contention,
but merely invite attention to this
Fall River state of affairs.
On the one side of it are the
corporations receiving all the adj
vantages of a prohibitory tariff,
and on the other side their work
ing people, who, averaging, high
and low together, less than ST
week, must submit to reduction
to less than 81 week. win some
stout defender of the Dingley
tariff explain how the 10000 opcr-
atives of Fall River are protected
by it?
Arizona daily citizen., 1901-08-27

probably dips deeper into the pock-
cts of the unsophistlcated every
year than all the highwaymen that
ever carried on business in this
country, from colonial days to the
present time. The armies of tho
"Christian nations" which recent
ly invaded China carried away
more plurder than all the stage
coach robbers of history. But
Wall street and the armi of the
christian nations do their loot
ing under the protection. of the
law, whereas the highwayman is
outside the pale of the law and
must be sternly discouraged.
Highway robbery has declined
as an industry, not, perhaps, be-
cause men are better than they
were in tho last century, but be-
cause holding up stage coaches is
crude and Ineffective way of ac-
quiring wealth, There is no use
for n man to risk his neck in such
perilous enterprises for the sake OF
few hundred dollars when great
fortunes are made, without break
ing the statutes, by modern meth
DDS of holding up" the public.
