A Race War

Last Sunday afternoon, quite an ex-
citing scrap took place between some
Young white fellows and some colored
individuals, on the street in front OF
Glass book and music store, We don't
know who started the scrimmage, nor
the cause of the fuss. Some say the col
ored BOYS started the row, and Others,
that the whites were the instigators'
AT any rate, stones few thick aud fast,
and some heads were bruised, though
the damage to "gourds' was slight
Strange as it may seem. not window
was broken, and there was no damage
done to property at all. In fact. little
or no damage resulted beond the splling
of little bad blood.
The fracas didn't last long, and quiet
soon regained again.
At night, however, the thing broke
out in new spot tQae, of the whites
got gun and proceeded to hunt for the
colored boys. Some of them were found
near the Fourth Avenue hotel. and a
chase ensueu. A shot was fired. and the
colored fellows ran down the street till
they reached Miller's restaurant, where
they made break for the door. The
dad man with gun" followed, and
shot through one of the windows, and
then twice through the door; but no
body was hurt. The colored boys rar
to the back door and got away. Ano
thus ended the scrap.
Such acts as we have mentioned are
a disgrace to our city, and the fellows
iudulging in the row should pay well fol
their fun"

natural and commercial. There is no
sense or reason In representing the
Fillpinos to be what they are not They
are absolutely and relatively devoid of
the Industrial instinct and of that pro-
violence which is its corrolary. Our
moral responsibility toward them is not
lessened but heightened by that indis-
putabe fact. To permit the Chinese to
inundate the country would in the
course of IA few generations mean prac-
tically the extinction OF the Indigenous
population. Professor jerks advocates
the admission of the Chinese from OBJ
serration and comparison with the
British, Dutch and German colonies.
but our possession of the islands is so
recent and our notion of the political
and moral responsibility which we owe
to them is so much at variance with
that of other colonizing powers, and,
we hope. so much more enlightened,
that such h policy is almost incompre-
hensibe.
There is no hurry. our experience as
time goes on will rectify our mistakes
and our success will he the measure of
our enlightened disinterestedness.

Why He Left Town.

A good story is related of Henry Clay
Dean. the famous orator of u generation
or so ago. Mr.. Dean was generally re-
fcrred to as Henry Clay Dean of Iowa,
even long after he had established Il
home in Missouri. He explained his
change of habitation in this way: 'You
see, they passed II ncfarious prohibition
law in Iowa, and there's your whisky
gone. Then they abolished capital pun
ishment, and there's your hanging gone.
And now the whole population seems to
be drifting toward univcrsalsm, and
there's your hell gone ! can't live in II
state that has neither hell, hanging, nor
whisky.'-The Argonaut.

- the admission of the Chinese
into the Philippines. He
does so, not because he
favors the dissemination of the Mon
golian upon ethical considerations, but
as the only solution of an industrial
situation which the development of the
archipelago demands.
The Philippines, he argues. are not
white mans country, nor are the
Filipinos physically or morally equal
to the obligations which the material
progress of modern civilization i'm
poses. The natives can supply in their
tropical environment such small wants
as they require. but further they will
not so and cannot be induced to go
Three hundred years of Spanish civil
lzation have not much stimulated their
ideas of social conditions. Their lives
are too luXuriously indolent to be
transliguFed by the application of
American ideals We must either leave
them as they are, Professor jerks con-
tends, or bring them into contact with

dui'ance"to any cline that offers "A re-
ward '.unremitteht industry.
This is not political question at all.
1t is purely chronological II we admit
the Chinese, as Professor jerks ad-
vises, we place the Islands in the hands
OF a people which will dominate them
to the suppression of the Filipinos in
surprisingly short time. They will
not claim political equality. TO that
they are indifferent. They will not
claim social equality. The civilization
which they carry with them is incom-
patible with the smallest measure of
such occidental institutions as the is
lands already possess. Not that they
are at all adverse TO taking an active
part in politics or aping the customs
OF the West. But these are quite sub
sidiary to their ubiquitous determina-
ton TO make an inroad into countries
FROM which they are debarred
