A Marrow Es,ane.

Frank Holmes and colored boy
named Manly Stevenson, who live near
Ardmore, were here last Thursday af-
ter a load OF lumber. Against the
pleadings of the colored youth Holmes
left for home after dark with his wag-
on heavily loaded. When they forded
into Blue Hole creek. which is near
their home. the maddened stream
floated lumber and negro away. BY
dint Of exertion the driver, assisted by
Mr.. Robson, landed the team. and
when the negro boy was called for he
promptly answered from AN ovoThang
ing bough that he was safe and re
quested that the men look after the
safety OF the team. Inasmuch as the
colored boy was only eleven years old
his advice to the driver and his cool
ness in the face of danger was consid
cred remarkable.

NO DIFFEEENCE VISIBLE.

So far as the Oldest inhabitant can
discover there is no difference between
present and Tammany conditions in New
York city. The Tammany excise sys-
TEN continues, the social evil fiourishes,
and the gamblers have taken to cover for
the time being.
Mayor Low, once elected, was frank
enough to admit that he couldn't make
a perfect society out Of the city in
twenty-four hours" Some of the zealots
who helped along his campaign thought
he could do so, and think SO yet. They
are bound to be disappointed
The reform administration is still en-
gagged raising a cloud of dust over the
former administrations and has not got
around to a critical examination of it's
own doings. When it does it will find
that Identical conditions prevail, the city
will realize that it has made nothing by
the change, and will fall back into the
Tammany column at the next election.
The lesson of the experience Of New
York is that the best city government is
party government. A well organized
party, dependent upon the votes of the en-
tire city for Endorsement, is pretty Ger
tain to give better municipal results
than a spasmodic administration made
up of theorists and Missionaries. The
noisy claims Of professional reform
ers" are never realized-never have been.
No better man, personally, than Seth Low
could have been chosen mayor of New
York. Even he hasn't been able to make
over the great city, and the only notable
change he has made has been to ask for
a sum for city expenses far in excess of
that required under Tammany rule.
New York city made mistake swapping
horses while crossing the stream.

Il DOLLAR FOR FrJTpINoe

one Oh the beauties of the policy Of i'm
perialism upon which we are now fuTlv
launched appears in the proposition to
coin dollar for the Filipinos which shall
be worth as matter of fact only Sc cents
The little provision requiring uniformity
in the money issues OF the country is no
longer regarded as an obstacle.
Soon we shall be called upon, no doubt
to provide a dollar for the Porto Ricans
of value to be determined by their local
conditions. Hawaiians will be in line
clamoring for a dollar worth 80 cents or
more, and the Guamites will require a
special coinage for their circulation, the
total issue needed for that island being
perhaps $50.
1t would not be a surprising thing if the
Filipinos demanded yard stick of length
differing from>the standard of measure in
the United States, and a standard gallon
holding not more than three quarts. And
if the Filipinos ask and receive these
things, why should not the Porto Ricans
the Hawaiians, and the Guamites?
We have already permitted the FIlipinos

certain customs forbidden by the consti-
tuition of the United States; could we deny
identical privileges to the other sun-baked
inhabitants we have acquired? For in
stance, we are under hard and fast agree
ment not to disturb the institution Of
slavery in the territory of the sultan of
Sulu, Of the Philippines Also, we have
covenanted ourselves 20 uphold the insti-
tuition of polygamy, prevalent in the Sulus,
1t is thus the duty of our officers in Sulu,
if there are any, to return runaway slaves
and runaway surplus wives. -Iow, if
these things are done in the Philippines,
and the natives are given dollar to their
own liking, why should not our other col
onists make the same demands upon US,
and have their demands needed?
Verify, there is no limit to the beauties
Of imperialism.
