Interesting Letter
From the PHILIPPINES

Judge j. II. Stuart is just in receipt
OF an interesting letter from his son
Harry, who is in the Naval service.
now stationed at Cavite, just aaross
the bay from Manila. Among other in
teresting things, Ensign Harry Stuart
speaks of the Dago battle, in the island
of Jolo, OF which much has been said,
as follows:
"You have, no doubt, seen the ac-
count OF the Daio fight in Jolo. and
the hue and cry that it has raised on
account of the killing OF women and
children. While it is natural for people
at home to rise up in arms against such
"a procedure l think if they knew the
conditions and circumstances OF the
affair they would admit that the army
did the only possible thing TO do. II
was simply n question OF kill or be
Killed. The women AMI children were
allowed some time TO leave the men.
but instead the women dressed up as
men and fought until all of them were
Killed. The Moros, among whom
most of the trouble out here occurs
are Mohammedans and fanatics. They
believe that if they kill white man
they will go to heaven immediately.
consequently they have no fear what
ever. 1t is an every day occurrence
for one of them to run amuck and try
to kill somebody, and the only possi-
BILE way to stop them is to shoot them
and shoot quick. They are very
treacheroas and cannot be trusted
They are not fighting for their country
because they are all the time fighting
each other. Every now and then some
Chief will gather around him few fol-
lowers and go on the warpath and the
only thing to do is to exterminate
them.
A Moro does not care a snap for
either your life or his own. He will
cheerfnlly slip up behind man and
split his head open just for the p,,r.
pose of taking possession of his re-.
volver
1t is idle to talk about getting oui
and letting them run things to suit
themselves, because if we did they
would still kill each other and the
people themselves would be no bette,
off; in fact they would be in worse con.
dltion than now. SO long as we bav,
the islands we owe it to our own citi
zens and also to the foreigners out here
that we protect them.
The Moros are entirely differen,
from the F'ihpinos. Most of the troubl,
around Manila and Cavite is caused h,
ladrones or robber bands. Cook 'O3 o
the Pampanga. was wounded in tn.
fight at Mount Dajo, but not seriousl,

Dear Sir: - Having promised to

the people, as see and learn from in

loan. free from sand and gravel, pro
ducing well. The chief crop, wheat
which very often yields 20 to 60 bush
els per acre.
Most all kinds of grain about in
proportion, except corn, which is not
grown TO any extent. Potatoes, and
all root crops, make good yields. Grass
is not native of this country except
bunch grass, which is very inferior to
blue grass for making fat cattle
although blue grass and timothy does
well when sown.
The climate is rather mild for this
far North. 1t gets hot and dry i'm the
summer and rarely gets more than 2(
below zero i'm winter.
This country is settled up with peo
pie from all parts OF the United States

ElGN Alb FOR GEAR.

Russia has had parliament only few months and political parties in the land of the czar are sof recent birth, but there is plenty of evidence already at hand to demonstrate tilat the Muscovites know how to do pol itics." The evasions practiced during campaigns in the United States seem to have been adapted with telling ef- feet by Russian politicians, and manipulation of rumors serves the purpose as a weapon just as it does in other countries.
 One of the latest instances of this kind is the story that the czaf, kaiser and emperor-king of Austria-Hungary have formed holy alliance whose power may be tested if the Russian revolutionists get the upper hand, CT even if parliament should decide or appropriation of the lands of the no biiity-a proceeding which might hay, 8 bad influence upon the proletari1 of the adjoining empires. According to the program, William and Francis Joseph will march their troops to thu aid of the beset Nicholas.

DiNGlEY AND THE EXTRA DOLLAR.

While making his extra dollar speech before the convention which renomiated Congressman Frank B Klepper. at St. Joseph, Congressman Watson. of Indiana, discreetly avoided mention of the millions of extra 1ol- lars which the robber tariff takes out of the pockets of American farmers and laborers every year.
 It is the extra dollar which builds our homes. says MT Watson And It is the Dingley tariff which slaves mat dollar every time the builder of the home saws a board or drives a nail.
 It is the extra dollar which .ur- nishes the home, puts the carpet on the floor and hangs the pictures on tho wall, continues the eloquent standpatter from the state of Fair banks. And it takes a great many extIa dollars to do all this while the Dingley trusts are taking big rake of from every article that goes to the furnishing or adornment of the heme.
 The extra dollar is shaved on every yard of carpet that is laid, and on every pot ana pan that goes inCo tas zitcner equipment. Every bfs ol crockery or glassware with which the table is set. and the cloth that covers it, pay tribute out of the extra dollar to one monopoly or another that is fortified behind the Dingley wall oi protective robbery.
 The Dingley scheme of cooperative extortion has so raised the cost ol living that the man who is pursuing the extra dollar has to pay out q to 90 per cent more than he ought for necessary expenses before he car catch up with the elusive coin. Aud when he spends it for the home Ding leyism claims its good 30 or 40 pei cent of tribute to the trusts. But MT Watson overlooked this bensficen' feature of the Dingley act.

NONE BUT DEMO CRAFTS ON GUARD.

The letter addressed by Chairman Ellinwood of the democratic territor- ial committee to Hon. w. F. Tim mons of Yuma, regarding the attitude of one Marvin of Yuma county, mem. ber of the territorial committee, will be satisfying to all democrats. Op- position to the joining in statehoC of Arizona and New Mexico is the paramount issue of the democratic party in Arizona and no one who de- clines to subscribe to that doctrine can be called democrat, and eei. tainly such a person is unfit to se1ye as an officer or agent of the party.
 MT. Eilinwood quotes the democrau ic platform to sustain his position The principles declased in the plat form constitute the supreme doe Urine of the party. When a man can not subscribe to that doctrine h. ceases to be a democrat, and as in ih' case of Marvin, if a member of tn. supreme council of the party, h, should be expelled if be has not con mon decency enough to withdraw or his own motion.
 The preservation of the life of th' commonwealth is a work of too grea seriousness and magnitude to b
 hampered by technicalities. nice dts tinctions and fine spun theories c : personal privileges. The democrat. party of Arizona is opposed to join , statehood and has so declared. Tn officer of the democratic party wh ' favors joint statehood is a traitor

ton did the disturbers at Cananea get out of President Diaz when they were put down by Col. Greene and a small squad? There is no doubt where DiaZ stands on the question of law and or der and protection of citizens, be tley native or foreign. There is no ques- ton about it, nor is there any ques
 ton about the governors of the states.
 The fact of the business is, there IS comparatively little basis for these rumors. The influential and respect able Mexican people have no hand in the reported antfforeigner talk and they will never stand for it. What. ever there may be in it, it comes from some agitators who may be trying to
 use some labor organizations to fur ther some personal ambitions as was done in Cananea. We Americans have little to boast of in this regard for we have had our Debs, the Cripple Creek miners strike, the San Francisco and Chicago teamsters' strikes and '.Jl- meroUs others with their dreadful consequences.
 But there are no such dangers in Mexico. The government will not stand for the nonsense that some la- bor troubles have brought forth in the states. Besides, there is no req son to anticipate anything serious. Labor generally is peaceful in Mex ico. There is more worK than there are men to do it and wages are on the increase all over the country. The rumors of unrest are being exaggerat' ed to great extent. .

and it may be credited to either side of the controversy. The reactionaries mi ght have started it to scare the radicals, or the revolutionists mignt have fabricated it to inflame the pee pie and gain adherents to their ranks
 But the tale lacks the substantial quality of verisimilitude. Emperor William is not likely to let loose the German dogs of war if he stops long enough to consider the size of tue socianst vote in Germany and the un. doubted political power of the work. ingmen of his empire, who would not take kindly to the spectacle of the Fatherland espousing the cause ct autocracy and German troops op pressing the common people of Russ,a
 Francis Joseph also has troubles enough of his own with the warTIne factions in his dual monarchy to pre- vent excursions over the border tc alleviate the distress of Nichoias There is small prospect Of foreign iD i tervention to help the Russian emper ! or out of his present difficulties. The 1 French king had the sympathy of fer eign royalty during the great revoIu
 ton, but his neighbors were too dis
 erect to poke into the French hornets
 nest and they held aloof until thei,
 assistance was of little value. Un
 doubtedly this precedent will hol;
 good today. Holy alliances are out G
