A SLEEPY RACE.

1t is a question whether we shall
ever be able to make anything out of
the Filipinos. They do not seem to
have either ambition or energy. They
are satisfied if they have enough to
eat, drink and wear. The observations
OF Americans visiting Manila seems to
be that they have no desire to better
their material condition.
Mr.. w. e. Curtis, who is writing a
series of letters from the Far East,
speaking of the Chinese and Filipinos
in Manila in a recent letter, says:
THE Chinese quarter is busy place,
and the Chinese population offer q
striking contrast to the Filipinos, and
set them a good example, which, I'M
fortunately, is not followed. They are
always busy, while the Filtpinos are
always leaning against something or
asleep. They are not troubled with
insomnia. You can see shopkeepers
fast asleep at their doors, mechanics
fast asleep over their benches, and
laborers on the street sleeping with
their shovels in their hands. The bell
boys at the hotels are always sleeping.
Whenever you leave your carriage to
make a call or a purchase the coach
and you have to shake him to wake him
up. 1t seems to be a racial popularity.
The only place where you cannot find
Filipinos asleep Is at cockhght. The
Chinese are always doing something or
going somewhere. hauling heavy loads
of merchandise through the streets like
horses, carrying heavy packages of
freight suspended from bamboo poles
resting upon their shoulders, working
| in their doorways at all sorts IF trades. y
What can be expected from people
who seem to care so little about their
future as these Filipinos do? Were
they before the Spanish occupation Of
their islands as industrious as the Chi
nese are, or were they always the same
| indolent people, always putting off un-
til tomorrow what they should do to-
| dav?
The United States ought to have the
| question determined as to whether or
not they have the qualities TO improve
their material condition before sacrifice
| ing any more lives for them or spending
any more money upon them. If they
haven't the qualities the way ought 10
| be opened for the Chinese to occupy
the islands. but if they have, then they
ought to be encouraged in every possi-
bic way. At present it must be admit
| ted they don't seem to have any pride
in their country or any desire to i'm
| prove it.

PERSONAL

"A correspondent living in Mentone,
France, writes that Paul Kruger is in
a very comfortable state of health
considering his great age, reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding. He lives
IN complete retirement and strangers
cannot see him. unless by chance when
he walks in his garden or drives out.
He is old and there are obvious rea-
sons why he should not crafty the
curiosity or even admiration, of the
many who would be glad to see him
and talk with him, but he has found
the residence there to be beneficial.
His daughter, Mime Eloff, is living with
him and it is thought they will return
to Holland for the summer.

NO NEED OF A PLATFORM.

Representative Livingston is sure
that the Democrats do not need a
platform. The people, in his opinion,
pay Very little attention TO platform
declarations. There will be only one
issue In the presidential campaign,
anyway, if Mr.. Livingston is right, and
the Democrats nominate a man who
invites comparison, and that will be
men, the candidates.
If this is a correct statement of the
situation, and there seems to be some
reason for thinking it u.s. why all this
talk about the refusal of Judge Par
ker to make a statement of his posi-
ton in respect to certain public ques-
tions? MIR. Bryan and the Republican
papers are calling day after day for
his views in regard to trusts, the
tariff, the money question and other
questions, and they are calling him
the clam candidate because he re-
fuses to say anything for publication.
But what is the use of his saying any
thing if Mr. Livingston is right? All
the people want TO know is whether
or not he is man of ability, of good
moral character and a Democrat.
Having that information they will COM
pare him with Mr.. Roosevelt. with
whose doings they have become toll
erably familiar during the last two or
three years.
Mr.. Livingston says that two years
ago, in New Jersey, he asked his au-
dience, which was an unusually in
telligent one, to point out one single
particular in which Mr.. Roosevelt had
undertaken to carry out the declara-
tons of the Republican platform, and
they failed to comply with his request
1t may be the audience was very mod
est, but we see no reason to decline
to interpret its silence the same way
that Mr.. Livingston interpreted it,
namely that the President hadn't at
tempted to carry out any one of the
declarations of the platform of his
party.
There is no doubt a good deal of
truth in what Mr.. Livingston says
about political platforms. The people
don't pay much attention to them ex-
cept when one great issue is before
the country. Still, they are necessary
things to have in political campaigns.
If a party should neglect to provide
a platform the opposition party would
make it the occasion for charging that
its opponent had no political princi-
pies.
We agree to certain extent with
Mr.. Livingston, however, that in the
campaign this year the subject of dis
cussion will be men. Mr.. Roosevelt's
personality makes this the case. Dem
ocrats therefore should name as their
presidential candidate a man against
whom nothing can be said. Then Mr..
Roosevelt will be attacked, or at least
his acts as President will be. and the
Republicans will occupy their time in
defending him.

American Yacht Wins Kiel Race.

American Yacht Wins Kiel Race.
Kiel, Germany, June 24.-The great
feature of today's racing is the contestin
which the American yacht Ingomar, be-
longing TO Commodore Plant, is pitted
against the three best racing yachts which
Germany can muster. These are the
Meteor, belonging to the Kaiser; the
Iduna, belonging to the Empress, and
the Hamburg, belonging to Herr BALM,
the managing director of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company. The
Kaiser, dressed in yachting costume, is
sailing his own yacht and handles her
with the skill of born sailor. The Meteor
this year for the first time has crew con
sisting exclusively of Germans. When
the four yachts crossed the starting line
this morning, the Kaiser was at the wheel
of the Meteor, shouting orders to the
crew in stentorian voice which betrayed
no sign Of lingering weakness. The
German Empress, also in full yachting
costume, was on the deck of her yacht,
the Iduna, accompanied by the crown
prince. Herr BALM was on his yacht,
the Hamburg. Another interesting race
today is one in which the Comet, the
Navahoe, the Wendur and the BTunhilde
were the starters The Comet is one
of the challengers for the Americas cup
She was originally the Thistle. The
Navahoe is the first big yacht designed
by Nat Herreshoff. The American yacht
Swan is taking part in today's race be-
tween fifteen smaller yachts. The Amer
lean milionaires here to view the races
are receiving almost royal honors.
The Ingomar won the race from the
three German yachts. The Hamburg
finished second. The Meteor lost her
top-mast and was towed to the harbor,
while the Empress's yacht Iduna aban-
doned the race.
