While there has been no big general
riot, the disturbances have been Of
such a serious nature as to cause the

effort is being made by the sheriffs of
the several counties affected and the
troops to prevent disturbances from

A HARD TASK.
Indications That Work of Bringing

Washington, Sept. 25.-That the task
of reducing the Moros to terms is
proving difficult is indicated by the fol-
lowing cablegram received Wednes-
day by the war department from Gen.
Chaffee:
manila, Sept. "a, 1902.-Adjutant
General, Washington: Capt. John j.
Pershing to Wears; unable to reach
Maciu forts; water and swamps pre-
vented. "CHAFFEE."
The dispatch means that Capt. Perish
ing has been compelled to retreat to
his base at Camp Wears and that the
Moro position is much stronger than
was believed by the army officers.

FOR HEALTH PROTECTION.

The bill now before congress providing
for national health service should pass.
1t makes provision for what has long been
needed namely. cooperation between the
national and state authorities. This would
bring the two classes of service into much
closer afiliation and cooperation, and
would tend to strengthen the state boards
OF health in their relations with munich
pal and local boards. which at present are
frequently unsatisfactory. Having au-
thority of law the surgeon general would
be enabled, when occasion demanded, to
call together, not necessarily the health
authorities of all the states, but of such as
may have a direct or pressing interest in
the matter calling for the convention.
Should necessity arise for a convocation
of all the authority is provided. With re-
gard to the collection and publication of
vital statistics, it is believed that after
the adoption of uniform blanks the pride
of each state health organization will
prompt It to see that the necessary reports
are made to insure their publication in
the national health bulletins published by
the service.
The members OF congress from the south
have a plain duty to do in this matter
The south is the most healthful part of
the whole country but it should not fail
to adopt every possible precaution to pre-
serve this happy condition, and this ia
nous pre-eminence.

THE HAPPIEsr OF WOMEN.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, in a recent ad-
dress to the Fortnightly club of Chicago,
said she was convinced that the American
woman is the happiest in the world. No
higher testimonial to our civilization could
be desired; no better tribute to the Amer
lean man could be asked. Under our civili-
ration women are very largely dependent
upon men for many of their conditions of
happiness and when conditions are pros
porous and pleasant for the women of
America It is convincing proof that the
men Of America are behaving with COM
parative decency and coming up TO the
neighborhood of their duty. The fact that
the number of men in this country who
are supported by women has become very
large and is increasing steadily has ele-
waited the respect and the pity also of the
true men of this country for women, but to
the superficial observer II would not seem
to have added TO the sum of woman's hap
piness The theory that it could not have
done so is based upon ignorance of wo-
mans nature.
Some of the shrewdest observers have
declared that woman never reaches the
heights OF her possible happiness until she
bears the burden of trifing mans sup
port All OF us have seen illustrations of
the strength and splendor of woman's
character under such conditions. Many Of
us have expended our compassion upon
such women and our indignation upon the
men for whom they made unspeakable
sacrifices, but in doing so we have proved
that we really know very little about
womans nature The happiest woman is
the one who is doing most of the work
that the man who should be her depend
ence should do. Still we trust that this is
not the reason why Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell asserts that the women of America
are the happiest in the world.

thing of its kind any religious body, Prot
estant or Catholic. ever achieved. 1t is
true that the raising of IL has injured
some other Methodist interests, notably
the income of the missionary society, but
allowing for the falling off in that direc-
ton and allowing also for some loss in
other Methodist benevolences, 1t remains
that Methodists have defed conditions,
and out of a body OF communicates far
less well-to-do than any others have dis
taiiced all records at money-raising And
to their credit it would be unjust not to
add they have employed methods that are
in the main. unexceptionable. and they
have raised the large sum in such manner
as leaves Methodism in better mood for
further giving than Il ever was in before.
Furthermore, the spiritual advantage to
the denomination is already considerable
i'm membership accessions and indications
point to even larger growth"
But though the Methodists did so well
last year. there was a general falling of
in church incomes They are reported as
follows:
Methodist, s1S,051, 900; Presbyterian, $i6-
SSS, 900; Episcopal, s14,S5s,OOO; Baptist, sl2-
575, 600: Lutheran. $780, 900; Congrega-
tionalist. s7,S5O,OOO.

tions whose income fell below expectations
In 1901 are endeavoring to awaken live
lier interest in church work and more
liberal spirit for it's encouragement. Like
appeals will come from thousands of pull
pits and we may see the deficits of the
year just gone more than compensated
for by the contributions in 1902.

no REFoRM TAMMANY.

There appears to be a prospect Of a
genuine reform, we may say a real re-
construction of Tammany under Mr..
Lewis Nixon. the new chief of that or
ganization.
Mr.. Nixon has demonstrated business
ability of a high order and is recognized
as a man OF high character. Everybody
believes that he will never tolerate the dis
reputable methods and practices that
have obtained VIGOROUSLY in it's manage
ment and provoked the opposition to it
that resulted in its defeat in the last city
election.
That Tammany can be restored to some
thing like its former power is the firm be-
lief Of most Of its members and of many
who have never belonged to 1t. Mr.. Nixon
is likely to accomplish this result and has
started about it in a way that commands
confidence.
He declares that honesty is to be the
cornerstone of the new Tammany, and
adds: This means the end of the graft
system"
This is a frank admission that the
graft" system, alias organized black
mail, has prevailed in Tammany and it
puts everybody in the organization and
outside of it on notice that this nefarious
practice must cease.
Mr.. Nixons character is sufficient
guaranty that he means what he says. He
has a great opportunity and we believe
that he will use 1t well.

The PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLE.

The increasing political and CONNER
cial interests OF our government in and
beyond the Pacific has made the demand
for a Pacific cable very strong and one
will undoubtedly be constructed in the
early future. The only question is wheth-
er il will be built by the government or
private corporation. That question is now
before congress.
The Commercial Pacific Gable company
proposed last September to construct a
cable from San Francisco TO the Philip
pine Islands and japan. touching at
Hawaii. The company desires to carry
out this enterprise on purely business
principles. It asks for no subsidy or
guaranty OF its credit and offers the gov
eminent all the privileges it is entitled to
under the Rood Act OF 1866, which gives
the United States the right to purchase
the cable at any time at an appraised
price. In the meantime the government
win have the right to fix the rate to be
charged for government messages over
the cable and government messages are
to have preference over private business.
Though this act has been in force thirty
six years no cable has ever been con-
structed under II and none Of the existing
cables is bound by its provisions. There
can be no reasonable objection TO the
passage Of this bill, and yet an organized
opposition to il has appeared in Wash
ington Telegraphic communication with
the Philippines and Japan can now be
had only by a very circuitous route and
at an exoTbitant rate.
Before the Commercial Pacific Cable
company asked for the right to build a
cable across the Pacific S235 a word was
charged for messages from New York to
the Philippines. Last November this rate
was reduced TO S1.e6 a word. il having
become clear that the projectors Of the
cable meant business.
The Commercial Pacific Cable company
has made a contract for its line as far as
Honolulu. which is ASIA miles from San
Francisco. and has bound itself to have
its line to that point in operation by the
first OF next November. IL proposes to
make and maintain rate OF 81 a word
from San Francisco to Manila and the
same rate TO Japan and China.
This would give the government and
citizens OF the United States much more
direct and much less expensive connection
with trans-Pacific countries than they
now have.
opposition TO this enterprise and one that
is inimical to the interests OF the govern
ment and those of the general public.
