ENLIsrING THE FILIpINos.

The War Department has wisely re-
solved to push forward as rapidly as pru-
dent the enlistment of Filipinos, until the
whole number OF 1900 is reached. OF
course, this has to be done with much
care and circumspection. for 1t is hard
yet to determine what classes Of the na-
tives are to be trusted and how far. IL
will be laying up trouble to enlist, train,
and develop men who will in time becoms
enemies.
But to properly disposed natives moth
ing can be better than a period Of SER
vice under the Flag, where they viii be
taught the English language and Ameri-
can ideas and ways. The British have
done this with great success in India and
elsewhere, and found these troops real
bulwarks of the Empire.
Those Filipinos who retire from the ser
vice at the end OF their three years en-
listment will be almost inevitably good,
loyal men, devoted to the Flag, jealous Of
its honor, proud Of their association with
1t, and active propagandists of loyalty,
peace and good order among their fellow
citizens. Their training and education
viii make them the superior men and
leaders In their several communities and
a great help to the thorough Americaniza-
ton Of the islands.

OPENING OF THE INDIAN REsFRyS-
TIONS

The Department of the Interior seems
to persistently adhere to the distinctly OBJ
jectionable plan Of gathering tens of thou
sands OF men and women in Oklahoma at
opening of the Comanche- Wichita "A pache
reservations, and thereby insuring the
riot, the turmoil, the manifold injustices
| and robberies, the immense food of disap-
pointments, and the waste Of money to
those Ill able to bear the expenses which
are inseparabls from such a method of
procedure. II looks as if the influence of
the Chicago & Rock Island Rail-
road were behind this persistency. OF
course, every man who can be induced to
go down there in the wild hope Of secur-
ing one OF those f60-acre allotments viii
have to contribute quite heavily TO the
railroads revenues.
Those best informed say that there are
probably only about 1900 frst-class ailot-
ments in the whole 13,47S; there ars
about 1000 fairly good allotments, and
the remaining 5,4T3 are OF doubtful value,
shading down rapidly into the actually
worthless. The Department admits that
there will be at least 10000 applicants for
these, while others, well informed, place
the number at 100000. Some 20 as high
as 10000 OF 100000. Therefore, at tho
lowest calculation. nine men out Of every
10 will 60 down there AT great expense,
endure many hardships, will become the
prey Of tavern-keepers and the crowd of
unscrupulous sharks that always gather
at such places, and yet be sure of getting
absolutely nothing in return. They are
foredoomed to disappointment before they
start.
We still believe it possible that all this
may be avoided by some plan which will
enable genuine home-seekers to draw these
lands without the expense and hardships
of a journey to Oklahoma. Let bona-fde
home-seekers register and qualify at the
Land Offices or before United States Com
missioners in their home States, under
such rules and regulations as the Depart
ment nisy make. Let their applications
be accompanied Dy q deposit of money, to
be returned. less fees. in case they are
unsuccessful. Let each deposit, with his
application, his description and a photo
graph, and his award, II he gets one, be
made non-transferable for a certain pc
riod and then let the land be assigned by
lot. Every man should be required to
swear that he intends to make the Terri
tory his home. and Immediately enter upon
and improve his land.
Or, why should not the Department
have all these applications sent to Wash
ington, the drawing take place here, and
the fortunate ones be notified directly
from the Department? There are some
difficulties. it is true, about this. but they
are Of the kind that fair intelligence can
surmount, and almost any way Is better
than the contemplated method which must
be frishtfully costly and disappointing to
such q mass OF people.

facts about the veterans and Evans NAL
treatment of them. This ia what some
comrade should Go in every town where
these vicious publications are made. 1t is
the only way in which justice can be se-
cured. Evans is making a desperate ef-
fort to vindicats himself and prejudice
public opinion against veterans and pen

airy bureau. and is working it industriously
in his own BEHALF. Wherever q paper
can be found that will publish the stuff
he sends out he keeps it well-supplied
TEE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the only paper
that is persistsntly exposing him. But.

read everywhere, and they must meet

will turn the current Of public opinion
against him, and make BIm appear in bis
