YOUNG FILIPINO FINANCIERS.

To the advice already proffered the Filipino only now embarking in the business of scoopng up the almighty American dollar one or two negative sug- gestions should be added.
 If the example of the great American inancier contains any lesson for the smart disciple the Western seas it is the lesson of moderation in all things except the main chance. Look you, the young who would succeed must conserve his interests and energies leaving to others the pursuit of froic and pastime. It's exploded theory that all work and play makes Jack a dull boy.

An in- terest in something for nothing should prove worth while both as an investment and as test of your financial mettle.
 Keep true to your best interests. Many a prom sing young has been known to go wrong through inordinae love of good books, socalled. Exercise discrimination in your choice of literature. There is much virtue in a good prospectus

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
council

According to the latest dispatches received in Nome, there is grave danger that Japan and Russia may be involved in war. If this should be the case there only be one outcome of the result Japan cannot cope with Russia, and the Japanese can only hope for speedy ending of the conflict. The sym- pathy of the world, without doubt, will be with Japan, for it would seem that the Japanese resent with considerable justice, the encroachments of the stronger power upon Asiatic territory Japan has made wonderful strides since 1880, when she was first disco, ered" commercially speaking; her peo- pie have risen ito the occasion" and have advanced in every way, until Japan stands as foremost world power not to be despised, and whom the great powers' must undoubtedly consider when Eastern questions to be determined. But in the mean time Russia has made rapid strides in progress, if not in civilization, and it must be confessed that that country is of the strongest of the nations of the world, not onl y from military standpoin but from commercial point of view. Russia is just as active and energetic is Japan, with much larger popu- laon but perhaps not possessed of the concentrated force and greater recuperatve powers of her smaller antagonist.
 Although the clouds look ominous, however, it is scarcely to be expected that active hosties have been commenced. The interests of Europe will scarcely permit at this time war between Japan and Russia.

A BOOST AND A KNOCK.

Congressman Tawney is scatter ing his enthusiasm with regard to Alaska around in various places, says the Minneapolis Journal.
 While he did not get very far in to Alaska, he favors a straight ter ritorial government, and goes the people of Alaska two better in al- lowing them three delegates in con- gress instead of one, which is all they have asked for. We are in clined, however, to sympathize with Mir. Tawney's idea of three delegates, in view of the probable difficulty in finding one who could satisfactorily represent the three different divisions of Alaska. Alas ka is divided by nature and by lack of transportation facilities in to three sections-Southeast Alaska, Central and Northwestern Alaska Mir. Tawney went far enough to meet very earnest and active cham pionship of the cause of territorial organization, but not far enough to encounter the considerable opposi- tion which also exists. as well as good deal of indifference. Owing to the present lack of communica- tion and transportation between the different sections of Alaska, a territorial organization could be formed and maintained only by considerable difficulty and at great expense. For that reason many citizens of the district are by no means enthusiastic over the idea, and yet it will probably be realized in the not far distant future.

ney P. c. Sullivan, in the case of United States Marshal Richards, plaintiff in error, on appeal from Judge Wickersham's court, a case which is so well known that no ex- tended reference to 1t is needed. The opinion of the higher court is by Judge Gilbert, all the other judges concurring. It is, as has already been published in these columns, complete vindication of the United States marshal, as is shown by the following excerpts. Says the opinion:
 The plaintiff in error comedies the rule to be that if there be any evidence whatever, no matter how slight, in favor of the judgment, no relief can be afforded by this court. But he contends that the record shows a complete absence of in- eliminating evidence against him. Upon careful scrutiny of the tes- timony contained in the bill of ex- captions, we are of the opinion that his contention is sustained by the record.
 Referring to the violation of the alleged order of the lower court by the marshal to summon talesmen from the body of the district and not from the bystandcrs," the court above states that "there is also a total failure of evidence to sustain that branch of the charges" The testimony of the witness Flames, as to the marshal's conversation with him, the court says, "does not in any way tend to prove any wrong doing or contempt on the part of the marshall"

THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH.

In day or two more Nome will be cut off from actual communication with 'the outside" for period of at least seven months. The last steamer has ar rived. She left Seattle Oct. 12, bringing the last mail that the people of this section will receive for
 period of at least two and a-half months. During the intervening period will be practically dead to the world" This year we are, however, offered some consolation; may have telegraphic commu- nicaton with the "centers of civilization" provided that we have the price. We have not at hand schedule of the prices, but enough is known of the scale proposed be charged to say that it is pract

A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch says that the officers and teachers of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church were the guests of John D. Rockefeller one day last week at the money kings home, Forest Hill. The oil magnate was very affable and anx- iously hospitable till he had set everybody at ease. They had a nice little dinner, nothing elabo- rate, at which Mir. Rockefeller took soup only. "A pleasant time was had" and the oil man told his friends that they must not believe all they read about him, It is pretty hard to believe it all.

"Elah" John Alexander Dowie the new and spectacular exponent of the Roosevelt doctrine of equality, compes consideration a vice presidential possibility.
 Moses married a black woman without offense, Dowe contends, and Dowie proposes intermarrage of blacks and whites the solution of the race prob lem. We are all members of one great family" and there you have it.
 Dowie, whom some call blessed and others do not, might be prevailed upon to descend from his pedestal to occupy the platform with Mr. Roosevelt. That is; presumably. Whether the principle of family equal ity would justify prophets standing level with
 politician is, of course, question for the gentleman himself Certainly prophet ought to be willing to sacrifice some caste to noble cause. And it must be remembered that the presidency itself is not without distinction. It is to be hoped that the prophet will condescend.
 Dowie, winged and sceptered, presiding at the door of hope after the fashion of Saint Peter guard ing the heavenly gates, would afford an excellent subject for another campaign button

No Repeal of the Fifteenth Amend.
IT, ment.

Judge CAVITY, has a plan for !, settling
the race problem on theelines apparently,
the British have mapped out for South
Africa, viz, equality for the whites and
Justice for the blacks. The Judge pro-
poses the repeal Of the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution. and the creation
of federal judicial machinery to deal with
all controversies, whether civil or Grim
inal, between blacks and whites BY the
frs. step political equality would be re- ).
stricted to the whites in the southern
states, while justice would be dealt out
even-handed to the blacks by a judiciary
Independent Of local, tassions and hatreds
The Judge realizes that If lines of political
division are to be drawn along race lines
the race excluded from political privileges
is likely to receive scant Justice at the
hands of those in the seats OF power.
& With all due respect to Judge CAVITY,
we must say that no suggestion as to the
race problem could be more absurd than
that the fifteenth amendment be repealed
That amendment merely declares that the
right Of citizens Of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged by
tho United States or by any state on ac-
court of race, color or previous condition
OF servitude. Repeal that amendment,

AT THE THEATERS
BiJou-"Hearts of Oak"

Familiarity breeds money in the case
of Hearts of Oak'--it also breeds a
wholesome respect. For when any play is
SO founded on the fundamentals that it
can come again and again and still stir
the rfsibles and harrow the souls to say
nothing of drawing heavily on the lacry-
NAL glands, as it did in the days of its
youth there. must be something to it.
And the good people who pay for their
seats get the same amount of misery out
of the sad scenes in James A. Hearne's
Hearts OF Oak this season as they did
several years ago. BY the same token
the dinner scene is just as funny now as
when it cost more money to see it,
The characters in Hearts Of Oak may
be little weak intellectually but they
are a, clean lot-the piece lives, moves and
has its being without the aid of a villain
and there is much in 1t that any right
minded person can enjoy and perhaps
profit by. 81 Ut
Except that the hero, Terry Dennison,
returns, blind and broken, to die In q
bare walled room instead Of in a disma1-
tied wreck on the seasllore. Hearts OF
Oak is staged at the Bijou much as it
has been staged elsewhere in Minneapolis,
and it. is certainly as well cast now as
ever In the west. From the life saving

not emphasize to you older men how fool
1sh 1t would be to do anything OF that
kind. You remember the fat days of the
old reciprocity treaty. In those days
American buyers were lin our barnyards

ne1ghbors to- morrow, and these conditions
will return again.
The farmers of western Canada feel
even stronger on these questions than the
farmers OF the east. They would welcome
free trade with the United States. There
is not the slightest doubt Of it, They are
not blind to their own interests and they
are not deceived by the national policy
