THE FILIPINOS' FUTURE
Views of a Former Attaehe of the
 Republican.

A gentleman formerly connected with The Republican and now occupying an important official position in the Philip pines has just written an interesting letter to a friend about the future of the islands. He is a thorough demo- Crat but he is by no means and anti imperialist. Neither does he believe that the occupation of the islands is for the benefit of the FiIipinos and he does not think that it ought to be for their benefit. He naturally does not want his name disclosed.
 He writes: ''I do not know how you stand or how party lines are drawn in the states over questions arising 1n the Philippines but I do know what common sense and a Knowledge of conditions here demand should be done. Take the money question first. We must absolutely have a stable currency and ] do not see why the monetary system here should not be the same as in the United States. In fact all ques- tons hinge on this one grand oue,- ton: Are the Philippines a part of the United States? We must have a terri torial government and not a colonial government and we must have Chinese or Japanese labor.
 We must always have in these is lands sufficient number of soldier, to put down any insurrection that may

THE VERSATILE KAISER.

Your most interesting account of the Inner Life of the Kaiser" writes a correspondent, reminds me of story that I heard this week from an English resident in Germany. The narrator is an English professor in one of the smali universities of the German empire. h dispute arose between the professors Of the university on some detail of man. agement, and when. after much argr- ment, it seemed\ impossible for them to agree, the English lecturers chief astonishcC e'-1 by --y'-~ Well, there is no help for it: We must write to tIe kaiser about it!' Surely, said the iec- turer you would not dream of trouo- ling his majesty about such a smai; matter,' Indeed I shall, the professor insisted and he'll settle it, too The Englishman smiled sarcasticolly as he pictured some one of the kaiser's nu- nerous secretaries replying formally and in a thoroughly non -committal manner to the communication, and so making an end of the business. Judge, then, of his surprise when, a few days afterwards, the professor showed nim letter written at the kaiser's dictation, saying that his majesty would In six weeks time be visiting the nefghbor- hood Of the university and would make q detour to consult with the professors about the question in dispute. At the time appointed, to the day and hour the emperor came, heard the whole sub ject, discussed it from every point showing in the task infinite ability, pa tience and tact. and finally settled it to the satisfaction of every one COR cerned."

 "All tariff laws regarding trade be- tween the islands and the United States should be repealed. On lesser questions am not less pronounced but they may wait and can be easily adjusted. l am not so sure that l would like to see the right of trial by jury and certainly if that right were granted it should be very carefully guarded.
 "The theory Of the administration that we are here in the interest of the Filipinos is not correct. We are rot. Even the Filipinos know better The time will come when there will be no Filipinos such as we know now. There will be here, and there ought to be an amalgamation of races-whicn will produce a new and separate peo- pie They may be called Filipinos but the millions of people now here will be swept from the face of the earth IL VIII ldhG cent lO NO llliS DNl it will be done and that result canno, be averted.
 A Filipino, or rather a mestizo of considerabl prominence and ability told me the other day that the only men of ability in the islands, meaning of course of the native popula tion were of mixed blood. I believe the greater part of the better blood is Chinese. ITan1a he If migration, properly restricted woulc mean the building up of an industrial class which in time and no distanr time would make these islands the garden spot. of the world. The re- sources of the islands whatever may be said are fabulously great But they will never be developed by the pres ent population. ThefpeopIe are lacking in both capacity and inclination.
 "One of the reasons I give for my be''ef that the Filipino race is doomed
 ohis: Aborigines who have long in habited a country have been exposed only 10 uniform. conditions. They are especially affected by any change in their habits. Civilized races are used to changes. Therefore the contact Of our people with the Filipinos will result in the extinction of the latter.
 Therefore it is plain, that say what we may and theorize as We will we are not here for the benefit of the Filipino and since the result is inevitable. why not give the American a chance. This is where l differ from the administra- ton and from its opponents as we'll. But I conceive that the advent of the Americans in these islands is a step Tn the development of the human race and that is a greater thing than an addition to the power and glory of the American nation

TRAILING THE NATIVES
Times When One Profits by Being
 Fitted for His JOb.

E. B. Custer, disciplinarian at the Phoenix Indian school has found if to his advantage to have about him few traits of character that run in the family. for MT. Custer is a distant relative of General Custer, the famous trailer and Indian fighter.
 A few weeks ago a couple of Indian boys of one of the Apache tribes ran away from the Phoenix school and a few days later six more of them took their leave without giving notice. This was an incident that could not be all lowed to. pass unnoticed. Not tha: Indian boys are so scarce as to be particularly valuable to Uncle Sam a, this time, but because strict discipline must be observed if the pupils of the schools are to be educated and civiIiza- tion. happiness and prosperity thrust upon them regardless. If a few can rUl away and not suffer for it more may and eventually all discipline would be lost.
 Accordingly Mir. Custer and a cow boy named Bud Burrows took to the trail. They learned that the boys had been seen at Phoenix mine and they followed them as quickly as possible. There they learned the direction the lads had taken, found the trail. ann followed it clear to Camp Verde. IL was during the recent bad weather ana following the Indian trail through ram and snow sometimes with short rations was very like the old days in this country. One of the boys was a son of Chief Novok of the Yavapai-Apacnes who reside in the vicinity of Camp Verde and once in that section MT Custer was not long in finding four of the boys he was after. The other two he learned were at Mayer and ne went there after them bringing the en- tire party back with him. Novok wa- inclined to thwart his purpose and keep his son from returning to the school but MT. Custer won his point Not however, till he had shown some signs of authority that made the big chief humble himself.
 Mir. Custer before entering the Indian service had considerable experience with the Indians as he did a great deal of trading with the Navajos and other tribes and knew their character ana customs very well as well as having had some experience as a trailer. One incident illustrating an Indians idea Of numor IS related by him. In certain parts of the country the natives are very familiar with the life story or General Custer, or that part of it in which the Indians figured. Though they did not love the old general they respected him and there are many who are proud of having been engaged in the same battles he was. On one o,,- casion when B. B. Custer was visitin>- a reservation he was introduced to an old buck who understood English anc who recognized the name -Smilingiy he sought to ingratiate himself in the heart of his new pale face friend Sv saying "I was one of the Indians that helped kill your father"

He-ol Turning the back on the enemy
and never again regaining the distance
lost by so doing, constitute a hero? If
Col. WATTERsoN thinks so, that is his
privilege, and his affair. With ques-
tons of morals, the rules OF criticism are
more rigid,
What is a gentleman The common
teaching prevailing here, and in the
State Of Kentucky also, w suppose, is
that one of the essentials Of a gentle
man is honor. He must not cheat, and
he must not be ~treacherous 10 a friend.
This being our understanding Of such
matters, and, knowing Col. WArTERsoN,
we defy him to examine the Hodgson
correspondence and deny that SCHLEY
has cheated. or that he has been guilty
Of treachery to a brother officer. OF the
wretched story of evasion and deceit
which began in SCHLEY's first public ut
terance concerning Santiago, his speech
before the Lincoln Club of New York
city in February Of 1899, and continued
through his letter 20 the Senate, his tes-
timony before the Court Of Inquiry and
his briefs dissenting from the verdict,
we will say nothing more.

and the Civil Engineers. Excluding
these, the percentage Of officers on shore
who might be at sea is about 81.
This low percentage is obtained by
shortening the period Of shore duty
between the tours OF duty at sea. Be-
fore the Spanish war, it was the rule OF
the Department to assign al officer to
three years OF duty at sea, andthree years
on shore, this latter period being divided
between leave or waiting orders and
actual shore duty. Since the war. how
ever, the need for officers afioat has been
30 great and continuous that the alter
nation OF tours occurs more rapidly; two
years at sea, and eighteen months on
shore are oil that an officer can expect
now. For junior officers under the rank
OF Lieutenant-C Commander, the period
OF shore duty is likely to be cut still
further.
While the percentage Of officers serv-
ing on shore may appear to be large, it
is much less than that in the British
Navy. OF 1000 seagoing officers in that
service under the rank of Rear Admiral,
$50 are on shore, a percentage of nearly
2213. Besides these, nearly half of the
British engineer force is on shore, so
that the percentage Of officers Of the en-
tire British Navy serving on land is at
least 20. One hundred and thirty-fve
British officers carried as at sea are on
various historic ships Of the navy, which
are not actually at sea, such az NELSON'S
Victory, the Asia, and other vessels
stationed at dockyards as fagships.
Unless provision is made for moro
officers to serve on the new ships author
lied and building, the embarrassment
Of the Navy Department in securing deck
and watch officers for our vessels will
increase steadily, and with it the on
sequent injury to the navy. The ques-
ton Of sea and shore duty is largely in
the hands of Congress, which can solve
it to a great extent by providing more
of1cere
