FiIipino Women.

Much has already been written con-
corning the women of the Philippines,
for the subject is engaging. For all
their dark faces they have figures the
grace of which is aceentuated by the
very garments they wear. They have
lustrous dark eyes and luxuriant black
hair, in which they take great pride; it
is long, thick, and glossy, anointed with
cOcOanut oil. cleaned and washed with
lime juice, and usually worn in coil
or knot held by a golden comb or Orna-
mented pins. Hats and bOnnets are
unknown among the Filipinos. so no
doubt many an American husband
wishes he lived here. The native wOm-
en- have finely shaped feet that never
knew a stocking; they wear low slip
pers of an Oriental pattern. sometimes
wooden shoes. The dress of Filipino
woman usually consists Of a single gar
ment with wide sleeves; "A pina-cloth
handkerchief is generally worn around
the neck, and every one wears a rosary
or a crucifix. Housekeeping in the ma
tive section is quite primitive in its de-
tails. LOvemaking. courtship and mar
rage are here conducted in the manner

her. A paragraph Oh the same page

very fortunate in arriving at the coast
when she did. If she had been much
later in getting to- San Francisco the
strike of the machinists would have in

Captain Nicholson speaks well of the
Helene in regard to her behavior on
the trip down. The steamer sailed from
the Pacific street wharf in San Fran

Wednesday, May 29th. She arrived off
Koko Head last evening at Sis o'clock.
At $50 she was off Diamond Head,
and at $50 she was alongside the
Oceanic wharf.
Several passengers were brought
down by the Helene. The two sons and

son, the wife of Chief Steward v. H.

from China about April /.
The dispatch ito General Chaffee in

in reply to your telegram the secre-
tary of war directs you to make COM
plete arrangement to sail to Manila
with your command and staff officers
by the end of April, leaving as a lega-

year to serve or those intending to
re-enlist, with full compliments of
officers. 4 medical officer, sufficient

that this closes us the Chinese question

guard cannot be used for any other
purpose.

thought a fair estimate of the total
appropriations at the present session
Of congress for the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July z, would be $3.50, 900.
Senator Hale expressed the opinion
that the amount would be greater.
The tide is rising ali the time, said
the Maine senator so far we have
not been able to make any reductions.
but have found it necessary to make
constant additions, increasing the ag-
gregate of last years appropriations
by many millions" Mr. Hale added
that before we know it We will have
billion dollar session instead of bill
lion dollar ngresses.-Omaha Bee.
What is the use of kicking about
this matter of increased taxation! The
people voted for it, and the people
ought to have what they want. Nc
Kinley's administration has increased
expenditures and appropriations for
four years and yet he was reelected.
The people should have known that
this increase would be continued. Four
years ago expenses of government
were less than five hundred millions
year, now they are over seven hun
dred and fifty millions and by the end
of McKinleys second term they will
exceed billion dollars a year.
The Republican party can not re-
sist the temptation to rob the people.
They do it in the general government
and in every state and municipality
where they have the power. The ma
tional congress has increased govern
mental expenses over $3.50, 100000 a
year. In Nebraska the same party
was returned to power last year. and
already we see a prospect of increased
state expenses. The legislature is
busy devising schemes to spend more
money. They are creating new offices,
they are making new places for fav-
orite politicians-they propose to abol-
ish all bidding on state contracts so
that all supplies may be furnished by
the highest instead of the lowest bid
ders, and they are forming a small
army of supreme judges who will have
little to do except to draw handsome
salaries.
In the city of Omaha the same peo-
pie taxed the people in order to get
money to buy its way back into power
and as soon as it had new lease of
life it levies more taxes in order to
repurchase continuance of the right
to steal. Its recent levy raises more
money than was ever before raised by
taxation in this city and the protests
of taxpayers are treated with con-
tempt. From the highest to the lowest
in every department of government
the Republican party continues to rob
the people, and the blessed people sub
NIT like innocent little lambs.
II this happened only occasionally
or in isolated communities it might
be charged to the corruption of indi-
viduals, but when it is uniform and
universal it must be charged to the
party.

L0OTING IN CHINA.
AN ANOLO-AME RICAN ALI
ANCE OF THIEVERY.
PIsaudering in the Name of the savior,
Jesus Chzist-what Can the Heathens
Think OF ReIision-Christ and the
1!ation Must BE Rescued.

The Worcester (Mass.) Spy prints
letter from soldier serving in the
Ninth United States infantry in
China. in which he says: If l could
have taken care OF and safely handled
all the loot and plumber which l had
and cou.1 have got l would return to
the United States rich man, easily
worth from $3.50 to $4,000. but 1
couldn't do it, and had to get rid OF
what did fall into my hands as quick
ly as possible. / sold nearly $1,000
worth of loot | had silver bullion
galore, beautiful and costly furs OF all
kinds, silks in abundance and great
variety of precious stones and jewels,
but l could not carry it, so had to dis
pose of it as quickly as l could.
sold $1,000 worth of pure bar silver
for 5000 Mexican money, equal to slOO
in gold. l have often stated in my
palmy days that | would like to have
all the wealth 1 could carry, and here
is case of where 1 have it. But II
avails me nothing, as the poor enlisted
man gets nothing out of the affair out
bareback and with but one-fourth "a
tons at that. Many of the otncers
have secured enough out of the affair
to be wealthy for life, and the hlgher
the rank the more loot money they
got. When you read in the paper OF
the Americans not footing. you can
just wink the other eye and be wise.
The Americans and the English were
dead in the game, and the English got
trifle more than the Yanks, because
they were a trif1e smarter. The ia
panese are the finest soldiers in the
world today, any way you take tnem'
and any nation wants to think twice
before humping up against them.
The above is little bit rough on the
soldier of the cross-the man VINO
went out 10 rescue the perishing mis-
sionaries from the cruel hands OF the
barbcrians Wonder what the bar
barians think of the religion and the
soldiers of Jesus Christ? We fear it
will be a slow business to convert the
heather to faith whose followers en-
gage in wholesale robber and univer-
sal loot.
The Chinese war is burning dis
grace to Christendom. 1t shows that
we have not outgrown the saVagery
of our ancestors-that our soldiers are
no better than the pious mercinarles
of the middle ages who slaughtered
in the name of Jesus and burned and
robbed to advance the standard OF the
cross. The whole war has been
carnival of crime, and in cruelty and
barbarlcy we have surpassed the very
barbarians. Every officer of our army

property of the Chinese should be
court martialed and shot.

WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
China Appeals Against Russia.

Washington, March 1G.-There is
reason to believe that China has
appealed to the United States in her
extremity in the matter of the occupa-
ton of Manchuria by Russia. Whether
the appeal is broader and is to other
nations as well it is not possible to
learn, at present. Minister WI has
been almost daily caller at the state
department and it is evident that the
Chinese are impressed by the belief
that the crisis has been reached and
the destiny of Manchuria depends upon
the action of the powers.

They used to hang men out in the
West for horse stealing. Perhaps they
do now, sometimes. But the bicycle
has taken the place of the horse to a
great extent. Now the price of bicycles
has come down so much that the theft
of these aids to locomotion constitutes
simply petit larceny, the punishment
for which does not seem to fit the
crime of stealing an article which is
as necessary as the horse was in the
olden days. So in Colorado they are
talking of revising the definitions of
the grades of the crime of stealing. A
bill was recently introduced in the leg
islature having for its purpose the
grading of the crime according to the
utility of the stolen article. So the
bill will call the theft of a bicycle
grand larceny and a felony, punish

tiary.

Leavenworth, March 15.-George
Turner, John Wiburn, Andy Wilson
and Son Thornburg were bound over
in the city court for trial for the MUIR
der of Mrs. Hudson in the Wildwood
saloon. Warrants are out for two more
of the mob, James Kelsey and John
Cummings, but both have left the
county. The testimony showed that
about fifteen men were in the raid and
that while two temperance men took
part most of the others were inspired
by spite work against John Hudson,
husband of the murdered woman.

THE LAND TRUST.

The land trust alone of Uncle Sam
is something more than $32, 900, 000, 900,
but fourteen of our other big trusts
only amount to s6OO,OOO,OOO, including
the Standard Oil. And the funny
thing of it all is that the Land Trust
is the mother of all the others!
Some Englishmen who had settled
in India were very much annoyed by
tigers (who carried off their sheep
and cattle) and had destroyed several
of them. But native Indian pointed
to certain points in the dead tigers
which proved they were young ones.
And the Indian told them there wasn't
much use in killing those, unless they
killed the "Mudder." This the Eng
lishmen did, after which the kittens
ceased to increase, and they enjoyed
their own in peace and safety.-De-

that they would assist.
