MAHoMETAN PRonLEM
Another Burden for Uncle Sam in
the Archipelago.

New York, July 4.-"The fact that a
million or more Mahometans have been
brought under our flag in the Philippines
renders statehood or territorial govern
ment for some of the population Of the
islands an impossibility for many years to
come" said General John G. Bates, for
merly in command of the department Of
southern Luzon, in an interview here. He
continued:
Believers in the Koran occupy the southern
half OF Mindanao and the islands to the
southwark Their conversion to the Chris
tian faith is considered by many as prac-
tically hopeless. although Jesuit missionaries
have gone among them undauntedly They
were won to the Mohammedan faith from
their native paganism by Mohammedan mis-
sionaries who had outpost in Borneo. The
relations of the Christians and Mohamme-
dams in Mindanao are not altogether harmo-
NOUS. According to the original mandate
of their prophet, the latter were told to kill
all unbellevers, unless such slaughter

should interfere with the own advantage.
The Jesuits deal with them so automatically,
however, that outbreaks are infrequent. The
Mohammedans will grow jealous and hostile
however, as soon the zeal of the Christian
missionary becomes greater than his tact
The United States has dealt literally with
them, however, in order to show that it has
no partiality to any creed or religion. They
are called Moros, or Moors, by the Spanish,
after their ancient enemies.
These Mohammedans welcomed our rule
They said they were glad of the protection
which we can offer them and that they
dreaded conquest from some European or
oriental power, which would use them for its
own agrandizement. Many of them practice
polygamy The example of the Sultan Of
Sulu is already famous. If the Philippines,
therefore, are to remain part of the United
States, we will have to face a new and most
serious question, to be known as the Mo-
hammedan problem. How it can be solved 1

a BATTLE ROYAL.

1t will not be many years before there
will be battle royal between the rails
roads and the electric roads. With
Edison's new invention of light storage
battery electric cars can be run cheaply
anywhere Already there is war on in
Indiana between the electric road from
Muncie to Indianapolis and the Big Four.
AS a. result passenger fare has been put
down to quarter of cent per mile. In
short lines of a hundred miles the cleo
trio roads will have the advantage in
local traffic. The railroads are generally
stocked and bonded for so large a sum
per mile that they now charge high rates
to pay the dividends. The electric roads,
which can be run more cheaply, will need
to pay only on the actual cost.
The electric roads. after Edison's in
vention is on the market, will go into the
smaller places and run into sections
where it will not pay to run steam roads,
unless indeed the automobile shall come
along and take the place of electric roads.

CUBA A STATE?

The general impression all along has
been that the administration was seeking
in an indirect way to violate the resolu-
ton adopted when war against Spain was
declared Concluding an elaborate view
of the conference between the administra-
ton and the Cuban leaders. Mr.. Walter
Wellman writes:
THE basic trouble with the administra-
ton is that it is trying to secure some
thing from the Cubans which it dare not
openly avow Everyone in Washington
understands that the Platt resolutions
we're intended and do place the Cuban
Republic under the wings of the United
States, and virtually make Cuba an
American State. But in dealing with the
Cubans the administration people have to
trim their sails and claim that something
else is the purpose. The Cuban delegates
were cute enough to take advantage of
this situation and to force the President
to meet the issue on a basis more nearly
approaching sincerity"

THE FIRST REQUEST.

In his admirable address OF Weicoiiie
to the Teachers Assembly, Hon. A. M
Waddell, of Wilmington, called at'eh-
ton to a matter of history which oush'
to be generally known. He said;
1.-THE first private bequest for educa-
ton in the history of North Carolilia
was made in 1854 by a distinguished
Colonial officer living in wilmington
Colonel James Times. He was a pache-
lor, a native of Scotland, and q brave
soldier and a faithful citizen, VINO mao
served North Carolina with holor III
her councils, and in the field.
He gave the bulk of his estate TOT
the education of the poor boys OF the
colony, and although his bequest was
defeated by the burning of the proper
ty and other misfortunes after ms
death, his name should be honored a.

factors in our State

tors-John Rex and Stanhope Pullen-

SONS OF GREAT MEN.

If the son of a great man becomes
great everybody expresses surprise be-
cause it rarely happens. And, upon the
whole 1T is we'll that it is so, for it would
not do for a few families. to monopolize
all the greatness. They might form a
trust of greatness and put an end to
competition.
In truth the sons of great men, like the
sons of preachers, do not have a FAIR
chance People demand superior virtue
in one and superior greatness in the
other, and when it is not displayed they
underestimate them and make it very
difficult for them to win success. In a
sensible article on this subject, Winifred
Black concludes thus:
q do not believe that persons of strong
individuality are good persons to bring UP
children who are to amount to much in
this world.
"They are like a great oak tree which
tries to shade a tender plant from the
fierce rays of the sun and ends by killing
it ly too much shadow

sons make something of themselves, be
careful they do not see too much of you.
you'll dominate them as you dominate
other men-and you'll dominate them
when they're little and weak and unable
to withstand your influence, and then
when you've planned for them and worked
for them and thought for them for years,
all your friends will be surprised and
grieyed when they find out that the great
man has made his sons too little to de-
pend upon themselves.

GERANIUMs AND OTHERS.

NA4ANHAAN4 - MD AMI VI
Norfolk Pilot Virginian.
The estimable Raleigh Post, which
seems to be wabbling along the top of the
fence separating the political camps, in
pursuance of which task it sometimes
executes gestures more engaging than
graceful, rises to remark:
Ever since ex-senator Mills, Of Texas,
got rich he has retired from politics"
Ex- Governor Hogg, who ran his surplus
avordupois down decrying wealth ana
trade combinations, no sooner struck it
rich in the oil boom in his State than he,
too "retires from politics." And now Col.
Towne, the gentleman who was Mr. Bry-
ans running mate for a brief season and
the latter's choice for that position on the
Democratic ticket in the last campaign,
he, too, "retires from politics"
Hasn't the grand old Democratic party
been blessed with some sweet-scented
geraniums as leaders" during late years?
"And if this thinks keeps on what will
we do for a barrel in the next fight?"
While the Post was in the enumerating
business, why ignore the conspicuous and
dazzling example of Hon. Richard Frank
lin Pettigrew, Pettigrew the dyspeptic
and lamentations. who descended on Wall
Street and carried away the better part
of a million at one fell swoop, and is to
end as President of the Great Northern
Railway? But why, in fact, should any
one of these distinguished gentlemen, who
have exercised the undoubted privilege OF
every American citizen by retiring from
politics and going into business be, on
that account, dubbed a "sweet-scented
geranium?"
We are aware that this is utterly at
variance with the Republican custom of
first making a pile" and then going into
politics with the aid of it, or that other
Republican custom of going into politics
and coming out with a plethoric bank
account, but is not the Democratic way in
every sense the more honorable? Is 1t
the rich man in politics or the rich man
out Of politics that corrupts the ballot
and prostitutes the functions of govern
ment?
We are by no means an ELUSIVE ad-
mirer of everything that Hon. Charles A.
Towne, for example, has done; but what
American of intelligence and self-respect
does not prefer Hon Charles A. Towne
to Hon. Marcus A. Hanna? If Mr.. Towne
is a sweet scented geranium, what is
the species and the odor of Hanna, of
Addicks, of Quay, of Scott, of Thurs
ton?
In the matter of geraniums 1t would
hardly be worth while for the Demo-
cratic party to compete at the political
flower show
