GRANT ON PHILIPPINES,

1t is a hopeful view that General
Frederick d. Grant takes of the future
of the Philippines. The disputed
points of American right to rule the
Islands he leaves to others, though
there is probably no doubt of his en-
tire support of the administration and
congress in their dealings with the
archipelago. He accepts the condition
of American occupation, with which
he has had something to do, and looks
rather at the outcome as indicated in
che character and present desires OF
the natives. .
To begin with, he finds that the Fill
ipinO is fun-loving. He is intellec-
tually quick and can see a fine point
in argument or in jest without the aid
of a diagram. This he regards as a
hopeful sign of development into good
American citizenship. He also finds
that the Filipino is strongly initiative
and that he is already patterning af-
ter Americans in the manner of dress
and seeking to use the American Ian
suage. There is demand for articles
Of Caucasian apparel which had been
previously unknown IN the islands
and the desire to master the language
Of the Americans is very pronounced.
Aided by the soldiers and others and
their own intellectual quickness, many
natives long ago acquired the rudi-
ments of the tongue and they are well
coming American teachers with a sin
cerity which is marred by none of the
hostility one might expect after near
ly three years of war. The artistic
sense is highly developed in the Fill
pinos and they are in that respect, he
thinks, the equal of the Japanese and
perhaps the superior of the Chinese
The business opportunities, General
Grant thinks, are chiefly for the man
with capital, the laborers being al
ready abundant. Large enterprises he
finds now chiefly in the hands of the
English, while the store-keepers are
chiefly Spaniards and Germans. He
expects, however to see the American
with American products soon take
precedence of all foreigners in the isl
ands as the drift of trade, in spite o.
the insurrectiOn, is toward American
merchants and articles of American
| manufacture.

change all this and make 1t little
warmer for the members of their con-
gregations. Are they sure that ig-
noring the region of punishment for a
of years and then discover
ing and preaching it again, is good
policy for the church p Isn't 1t true
that when people once lose faith in
or interest in such doctrine, 1t is
practically impossible as rule to
bring them back to 1t again? Isn't
that the rule in these days when
church people do more independent
on such subjects than they
ever did before? Had not ministers
better be consistent in such matters
and at least not play fast and loose
with fundamental doctrines as they
would with matters of less import
ance?

peace would become so suddenly reck-
less. Why. in the dim years of the
past, when the fellow who now occu-
pies the editorial tripod of the Leader
was devil" in the office of the Boone
County Blizzard in the state of "Arri-
zony." it was no uncommon thing
for him, even at that tender age, to
kill on an average of from two to
three delinquent subscribers a week,
and on one occasion he concerted the
city marshal and his entire police
force into. bone dust material within
the record breaking time of Ga sec
onds.
AS the years have rolled by his ap-
petite for duels has correspondingly
enlarged and now the very mention
of a contest of honor" is sweet music
to his soul. When he read the chal-
lenge of "Mariettas Finest he was
thrilled with raptures of delight-the
fond anticipation of devouring the en-
tire outfit blood raw" served his
mind to revert to the good old days of
yore.
On second thought, however. he re-
membered that his spurs had been,
won in contests with combatants
worthy of the name and he wisely con-
cluded that it would be utter folly for
him to treat in any other manner
than with silent contempt the vitu
perative utterances of these boasted
defenders CD of the community. On
ly on certain conditions will he for
moment consider their proposition.
One is that they must get at least
something that will resemble a repu
tation in the hero line-another is
that he be permitted to take a whirl
at the whole gang at once-he could
never afford to trifle with them sing
ly.
When these requirements are met,
this long, lank, hungry looking, fire
eating, blood-thirsty interloper of the
editorial tribe may be found without
lifficulty, and the seekers will learn
that he is the most accommodatin'
3uss in town.
