Advice to South ern Democrats.

Within the last few days Virginian
and vermonter have pointed out that
both the East and the West have failed
to shape effectively the course Of the
national Democracy and that the time
has come for Southern Democrats to
resume the helm Of their party and steer
it into the haven Of success. We refer
to the speeches made by President WooD-
ROW WILSON OF Princeton University at
q dinner of the Society OF the Virginians
In this town and by Col, GEORGE HAIR
vEY, the editor Of Harper's Weekly, at
dinner OF the St. Andrews Society OF
Charleston, s. c. AS both men are known
to be stanch in the Democratic faith and
warm friends Of the South, their sugges-
tions win receive throughout that part Of
the Union much and earnest attention.
DR.. WOODROW WILSON would have the
South, as the only remaining fraction Of
the Democratic party that can command
majority OF the votes in its constituent
= oies, demand rehabilitation Of the party
on the only lines that can restore it to
dignity and power. To that end he would
have Southern Democrats read out Of the
party "a aliens and interlopers the Popu-
&sts and radical theorists who for eight
years have been dominant. To that end
he would have Southern Democrats ad-
init to fraternal union only those citizens
OF the East and the West who wish for
reform without loss OF stability and who
will join in reafflrming the principles
and in reverting to the practices of the
historical party. DR.. WILSON reminded
his fellow Yirginians that the old Demo.
cratic party had stood by the South
through good report and i'll, and it was
now, he said, the duty Of the South to
requite that fidelity by recalling the
party to it's old counsels and reinfusing
In II the spirit Of it's prime.
To Col. HARVEY, speaking at Charles
ton, it seemed equally patent that at
last the opportunity Of Southern Demo-
Gratis had come. The resurrection Of the
Democratic party must be looked for,
he said, from the part Of the Union that
gave IT birth. For forty years the South
had accepted In national conventions
whatever hsd been offered by the East or
by the West. Was there ever witnessed,
asked Col. HARVEY, such patient bending
70 the yoke on the part OF free and en-
hghteneA people-a people, too, that used
70 be described az masterful'

MORE BROOKLYN MAIL TUBES.
Postmaster Roberts Hears He's to Get Elm
subway Branch TO Post once, Maybe.

Postmaster Roberts OF Brooklyn. officials
representing the Postal Department in
Washington and representatives Of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company had
a conference yesterday to consider a sub
way mail transportation system for Brook
lyn, as well as an additional pneumatic
tube service. Postmaster Roberts favored
running a branch of the subway to the
post Office on Washington street. TIE
proposition seemed to be in general favor,
and a recommendation will be made to the
Washington authorities concerning this
proposition.
As to the pneumatic tube service Post
master Roberts was told that he could have
a tube from the main Office on Washington
street to the Flatbush avenue station near
the Long Island Railroad depot and one from
the main Office to Station B on Fulton street
near Nostrand avenue. He accepted tie
first, but asked that instead of the latter the
tube service be installed from the main
post office to the big branch station in
Williamsburg.
said:
1T looks as though we were going TO
have five miles more Of pneumatic tube
service for Brooklyn In a very short tine.

Our Manila Cousin.

The Sunday Sun Of Manila, P l., for
Oct. % is proof enough that the Ameri-
cans in that satrapy have not yet de-
generated under the combined influences
Of heat and despotism. Even the dra-
matte critic, sweltering at the Orpheum,
where Miss BEATTIE SMITH was sing
ing 'My Creole Sadie" and Mr.. JAMES
HARVEY appeared in costumbre a la

light coat"-even the dramatic critic ex-
presses his emotions in salient Ameri-
can manner:

Heat, dripping. moist. awful heat. dense fumes
OF tobacco smoke, aroma OF beer and Scotch and
sodas. Soldiers unhui.nnng their tunics, cheers
laughter screams hurrahs. and this Is the way the
mad Anglo Saxon takes bis pleasure in the tropics.
Now, how much moro sensible TO have q beer gar
den and rea. leo skating rink, where all could be
cool and listen to the same kind Of performance
II you like. but what pleasure Is there going TO a
stufy theatre and sweating like grampus all the
EVENING"
The theatre Ia q duty when it is not
pleasure; and who can restrain the
sAnglo-Saxon' passion to outstrip the
thermometer by applying hot and re-
bellious liquors in the blood?
The critic complains that "the mucha-
chos are wanting in civility at times and
have a very independent bearing, which
should be checked. Independence of
any sort is bad for the Filipino, but that
sort Of independence is intolerable. So
speaks the oppressor. We can see the
one ant-imperialist in Uxbridge, Mass,
rise like one man and denounce the
infamy.
One Of the grave faults OF Americans
is their humor. Many, perhaps most
OF them, decline to look at all things
with becoming solemnity. This frivo-
lous spirit has been transported to the
islands of the sea. The travellers have
changed their sky but not their mood.
It Is painful to find among the adver-
