NO SroH pEMocRATS.

We gather from some brief remarks in the esteemed Register that it thinks that the nominating speeches in the Re publican State convention were little hifalutin. Not so. The effort was to nominate men who are so far superior to any whom the Democrats can pro- duce that when the Democrats come to nominate they (the Democrats) wont be in it. We think the effort was success full. The most and the best the Demo- crats can say when they nominate wont be as much and as good as was said by the nominators in the Republican con- ventiOn. There may be more such men in the Republican party as were de- scribed by the Republican nominators. but there can't be any such in the Dem ocratic party. We shall look with in- terest for the speeches of the Demo- cratic nominators. At best they will be but feeble and far-off limitations of the speeches of the Republican nominators.

 It is reported that similar contracts" providing for the withholding of ten per cent. of the workingmen's wages are in effect in hundreds of Illinois factO- ries. The State board of arbitration very properly decides that the contract is worthless. It is so openly one-sided, So utterly lacking in the element of mu- tuality or reciprocation essential in a contract that the only wonder is that it should ever have been signed.

FOLLOWING THE FLAG,

Trade is following the Star Spangied Banner. The exports from the United States to Porto Rico during the last fiscal year were more than five times as large as they were in 1897, and the exports to the Philippines were over fifty times as large as ir the earlier year. The exports to the Hawaiian Islands have increased in the same five years more than fourfold To Porto Rico the exports of cotton manufactures were insignificant in 1897; in 1902 they exceeded $2,OOOOO0. The exports of breadstuffs nearly doubled, the exports of iron and steel are nearly S1,O00,O00 greater, and of provisions about $S0J,- 900 greater. Nearly S1,000,000 worth of iron and steel went to the Philippines in the last fiscal, year, not including government shipments. Cotton manu- factures were nearly quarter, and provisions more than half million. The total exports from the United States to the Philippines in 1897 did not amount to s10O,O0O. The exports to the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico al- together amounted in the last fiscal year to $1OO,OOO,OOO. The exports to the Philippines were nearly $35OoO, 900, and in 1897 they fell good deal short of $7.OO0.OO0

NOT GOOD CONTRACT.

They have a State board of arbitra- ton in Illinois, and it is getting praise because of it's action in curious labor controversy. The workingmen in a cer- tain factory at Canton, Illinois, peti- toned the board for an opinion as to the legality of their contract with their employers. According to this contract the workingmen ''in cOnsidera tion of be- ing given employment were to consent to the withholding of ten per cent. of their stipulated wages. The contract also contains clause by which the signer binds himself to obey the con- pany's rules and concludes with an agreement" whereby the signer de- clares it to be understood by him that if he fulfils these conditions the "said company will present him, on July 1, 1903, sum equal to ten per cent. of his net earnings, which amount, it is un- derstood by me, is not as wages earned, but as a present from said company for good conduct, special care in my work and attention to duties, and should my work not be satisfactory to the com- pany it has the right at it's option to re- duce or withhold this amount.

g A Greek publication gives a descrip- ton of an ingenious method of milk adulteration practiced in Athens. The residents have a penchant for goats milk, and herds of these animals are led along the street by milk sellers wearing long blouses with capacious sleeves. Their cry of "Gala! Gala!" brings the housewife to the door, and she prudently demands that the goats shall be mixed in her presence. This is done, but the milkman has in one hand the end of thin tube which runs up his sleeve and connects with an in- sdia-rubber receptacle full of water, which is carried under his ample blouse. At each pressure of the fingers on the udder there is a corresponding compression of the water sack, and milk and water flows side by side into the milk pail.

A store window in Ottawa, Kansas, is decorated with corn, and among the ears is small one bearing this card of explanation: This curiosity is called a .nubbin. It is the only one we have been able to find in Eastern Kansas. This specimen was secured in the sub- urbs of Ottawa. from a stalk which grew out of the mortar in brick wall. Its surroundings, and the fact that the stalk was twice struck by lightning as it lowered above the building, probably account for the peculiar dwarfed ap- pearance of the, ear.'

through inheritance to the privilege
of conducting the slaughter house at
Havana and of the distribution of
meats and the collection of the fixed
charges for meats. The countess
claims these privileges by virtue of
royal decree from the king of Spain.
The countess declares that the bust

full and profitable until 1899. In that
year, she alleges, Gen. Brooke, then
military governor of Cuba, issued or
ders to the effect that the hereditary
privileges connected with the slaugh-

Varying Manners and Customs of the Differ
ent Races of Our New Possessions.

1t is not generally known that the
inhabitants OF the island of Sulu are
| descended in direct line from the
natives OF Borneo, but such is the fact.
! me two races, now considered dis
| tlnct, have many traits in common.
| me Sulus are Moros, and although
| long separated from the parent stock
| preserve the original characteristics
| OF that race. They are in some parts
| herce, warlike people who continu-
ally prey upon the weaker tribes
around them. They have slaves, prac-
tice polygamy, punish theft by decapi-
tat1on and either make slaves of their
prisoners of war or chop them into
many pieces with their creeses, a pc
culiar blade with waves in it seen in
no other Pacific ISLE
The Moros, or Moors, belong to the
Malay race. Eearly in the sixteenth
century two brothers in the north of
Borneo had quarrel as to the sue
cesslon of the chiefship of the tribe.
The result was that one left with his
followers and landed on the island of
Basflan, at which place, after awhile,
there was another QUARREL some left
and settled in the north of Mindanao
and others in Jolo, and up to the pres
ent time 1t has been one series of war
fare between the different tribes. They
pear no relation to the inhabitants of
Morocco, hence the name Moros, or
Moors, is not a true one They are |
Malay converted to the Mohamme- |
dan faith, very few of them being |
acquainted with the doctrine of Mo-
manned.
In the lake region of Mindanao the
natives are fierce and warlike. while
those on the coast are peaceable to a
certain extent. They wear tight-ftting
pants buttoned near the bot
tom, cloth around the waist and tur-
ban for the head. They are fond of
gay colors and many of their cloths
are OF hand-woven silk The women
wear boomers and body cloth. These
costumes differ according to locality
and tribe.
Some tribes wear short hair; others
wear long hair, giving them very eff
em1nate appearance. Some wear the
'oatee, some let the ends of the mus
ache grow and some have smooth {
