FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1»99.

IT is not known that George Washington assassinated any of his commanding generals. It is about time to call the parallel between Washington and Aguinaldo an error of judgment.

IT is singular that New York should be BO wrought up over the presence of a couple of cases of yellow fever in the city, when its people harbor and give comfort to yellow journals which are infinitely worse.

THE Chattanooga Times advises Mr. Bryan to either speak less or else get him anew speech. Mr. Bryan hasn't made that speech yet "explaining" about all the Nebraska mortgages being cancelled regardless of the rejection of free silver.

SOUTHERN manufactures are reported to have increased 60 per cent, faster than in the corresponding quarter of last yenr. Many southerners who voted for Bilver begin to see the error of tbe statement that the hum of industry could come only with free coinage.

WHT should we begrudge the Democrats the pleasure and profit they anticipate from digging up the tariff issue? For the last three years they have grown thin and worn sitting up nights with the corpse of free silver, and they now only seek a much needed recreation.

AMERICANS are generally glad to learn that the courteous Cervera has been acquitted by Spain of the charge of destroying the Spanish fleet at Santiago. It might go adversely with Dewey if he were brought before the same tribunal with a like charge regarding that other Spanish lieet.

THE trust issue comes as a sort of god-send to the cowed tariff reformers They can now talk about doing away with protection as the first step toward getting rid of the trusts. Everything is grist which comes to the Democratic mill, but no man knows from day to day what is the nest tesue to be fed in.

GEN. HOWARD can see but one course in the Philippines. "The country," he says, "has already expanded. Owing to Dew&y the United States is already there and we muBt assert our authority. We will give them as much liberty as we have, and no more." The old soldier thinks American freedom is good enough for anybody.

LOUISVILLE Times (Dem.): Representatives of the two Democratic factions in Kentucky are scurrying away to Chicago, one for the purpose of dragging "the peerless" Bryan into the state campaign, and the other with a view of holding him out of it. What's the matter with Solomon's plan of splitting the kid up the back and handing over one-half to each claimant?

SENATOR SCOTT, of West Virginia, who has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast, gave the Democrats who imagine that a successful campaign can be made on an anti-expan-sion and free silver platform, a valuable pointer when he told them that the Democrat most mentioned for the presidential nomination out there was Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who is admired because of his work in behalf of the Nicaragua canal, his robust expansion views, and his hearty support of the foreign policy of President McEinley, during and since the war with Spain.

NEW YORK Evening Sun: Dear! dear! What frightful visions these free silver men have! Here's an old Democrat of the old school, the Hon. John G. Shanklin, of Indiana, who is BO daft on the silver question that he draws this lurid picture of the gold standard curse: "The gold standard has been a curse that has wrecked lives and fortunes from the moment it was put in force. It will continue tbe work of disaster, spoliation and death so long as the Baturnalia is permitted to survive, but that will not be always." Shanklin couldn't possibly be more excited if a kissing bug bad saluted him.

Manila.

Mr. and Mrs. James Michael received the following letter from their son, Floyd, who is with the 4th Infantry boys in the Philippines:

MANILA, P. I., May 24, 1899.—Dear Mother:—I will write you a few lines to let you hear from me again. How are all of you? I hope you are all well. I have pretty good health now. We aje still out on the firing line. We got paid to-day, and I deposited $25 with the paymaster. We get paid every two months. I have not received but one letter from you so far, and none from my girl. It is down in the bay. There is some mail down there on a boat (quarantined. It has the smallpox on it. How is pa and all of the folks? I will tell you about the Philippine natives of Manila and vicinity. They area small race of people, averaging not over five feet in height and weighing probably on an average about 100 pounds. They are not black, but of a brown color. They have smooth, Mongolian features, jet black eyeB and Btraight hair, which is a glistening black. They are strong and generally well formed. The muscles of the arms and shoulders 6tand out like those of athletes. The head IB carried well back and very few are stooped or hollow chested.. The movements are all graceful and easy and they never appear to be tired. A regiment of native soldiers move along a street as noiselessly as one man. Their bare feet make no noise on the pavement and the easy swinging motion causes no rattle of their arms. Even the voice of the people is low, smooth -and well modulated. It is very seldom that a harsh or abrupt word is heard from a Filipino. They sometimes become excited and talk with great rapidity, but even then the voice seemB almost musical. In conversation they are uniformly cDurteous. No matter where or in what manner one accosts a Filipino, a gentlemanly answer is received. The American soldiers very frequently display their ill-breeding by acting in a very uncivil and ungentlemaaly manner toward the natives, but their boyish acts are never returned in kindness. If a Filipino is iusulted he quietly walks away with an air about him that speaks louder than words in his favor and against the actions of the man who should be a model of civilization, but who is far below the natives in the essentials of true manhood. The manners of the Filipinos are the outgrowth of natural goodfeeling and years of contact with the courteous and chivalric Spaniards. Naturally the people of this group of islands are quiet and peace-loving, and this inclination is shown by their actions. All religious forma are held sacred. The respect shown to the dead and to those In authority here borders on the marvelous, and the rapidity with which the people adopt the customs of foreigners is ramarkable. If a funeral procession passes along the Btreet, especially the funeral of a soldier, every native immediately stops, uncovers and stands at attention until the remains have passed him. There is a marked contrast between the respect shown by the natives and the disregard shown by the American soldiers, who generally seem entirely unaffected by the death of a fellow soldier, and they will meet a funeral train and pass it without more than saluting the captain at the head of the procession. Some time ago Aguinaldo ordered his soldiers to uncover whenever the "Star Spangled Banner was played and now whenever a band in Manila strikes up the national hymn every Filipino uncovers and comeB to a position of attention. The music to many of the popular and catchy songs that have gone the rounds in the United States in recent years may be heard in Manila now. In walking along the streets here it is very common to hear "After the Ball" or "Sweet Marie" played on a piano in some elegant parlor. On the streets one can frequently hear a young native singing in his usually broken

English, "Yankee Doodle" or "Marching Through Georgia." These people are apt and willing to learn and but for the oppressive tyranny of Spain they would long ago have been high in the scale of civiliza tion. As it is they have a great many traits that the Americans would do well to follow.

But the Filipinos, as well as all other people, have some habits and customs that are disgusting and degrading. AL most all chew the little nut which colors the teeth brown and causes the digusting habit of spitting. Smoking is also a prevailing habit. Almost every man, woman and child in Manila Btnokes. In fact, a native without a cigar or cigarette is almost a curiosity. Ladies driving in their carriages in the

cool of the evening almost invariably have cigars in their mouths. It is no uncommon thing to Bee a lady on the street Btop a soldier and ask him for a light from his cigar. Even children, both native and Spaniard, become addicted to the smoking habit when quite young. Children not over seven years old are frequently confirmed smokers.

The manner of dressing here is very striking. Of course in this warm climate very little clothing is needed, and therefore little is worn, and all garments are of the lightest material. The men wear a light gauza undershirt and a pair of muslin pants fastened at the waist with a drawstring. Alight q'agama, a shirt without a collar, is worn as a coat, and is longer than the ordinary sack coat worn in the United States. Almost all go barefooted and on their heads they wear light straw hats. The women wear waists with low necks, very low, and big sleeves that reach only to the middle of the upper arm. Their skirts consist of pieces of cloth which are wrapped tightly around the body two or three times and tucked at the waist and reaches very little below the knees. No stockings are worn. Some wear shoes, but the majority do not. The shoes worn consist of wooden soles with only a piece of leather acrosB the toe to keep them from dropping off. This piece of leather is not intended to enclose all the five toes, but only four, and the little toe is left outside. The women wear nothing on their heads, but always have their long black hair neatly dressed and tastefully arranged. The clothing worn by the children scarcely deserves that name. Some of them wear a single loose garment resembling a shirt, while others go entirely nude. But they all apparently enjoy the best of health, and even the hot, tropical sun of Manila does not seem to burn their brown backs, bare though they may be.

Let all the people unite to make the county fair a success and let the street fair alone. What ever hurts Crawfordfville effects the entire county. Better heed Landis warning and not open the gates of hell in Crawfordsville this year.
