And following right along on all this come3 an associated pr .ss dispatch which quotes one of " he foremost American Generals" as laying: "We will see a hundred thousand soldiers in the Philippines bef 01 e the Amer icans Control the island 3," and, the dianaftii oAAa n w... -....4--. - uiujuwu auuo, uiaj JillJ. Ui.

All this h is cost a great deal of money, more, lr res than were lost in Cuba, while we had Cuba to show for the lives lostt lere, but sub stantially nothing in tt e Philippines. We have captured towns, but no krmiea. They simply m ove out of our way when we make i too uncom fortable for them, and get ready to give us another brush it the first op portunity. - With all the encour iging reports that have been received lately, there is the stubborn fact that the Fili pino are paying no attention to the proclamation, issued by the commis sion, but are keeping a keen eye on the movements of our armies, and manage to keep close dnough to our ljnes to worry our soldiers and pick Off a few of them occasionally. Some; of the organs ari beginning to perceive this and to acknowledge that, in the language if Gen. Otis, wnenj ne advised, against bringing tne wives and families of officers to -Manila, "this war is no pic-nic The St. Louis Glole Democrat, a the adminis- vigorous supporter of tration and of the expansion policy, I discourses ' thus : I "The Filininoa are standing thai I ground somewhat .hotter than was expected. TbisWjOn the whole, for tunate for the United States, tsy making a fight they will stand an ex cellent chance of being killed or cap tured and that i thei only way in which they can be dealt with intelli- gently ana satisfactorily. It would e better if the Americans had 10,000 or 15,000 more men on hand in the Philippines. This would insure quicker and more thorough work in stamping put the rebellion," : 'Our esteemed contemporary evi- dently docs not attach much impor tance to the capture of towns, for it has come to the conclusion that the only way the Filipinos 'can be dealt with "intelligently and satisfacto rily" is to "kill or capture" them, in which brutal conclusion it, in our opinion, hits the nail on the head. - . .- V-. ? But isn't that a bigger job , than 10,000 or 15,000 more men on hand. could do? With the 31,000 or more men 'we now have there we have not succeeded in capturing any army, although we have killed a good many Filipinos but as fast as we kill them others pick up their guns and take their places. They have morenen than guns, and their armies are -not captured, and cannot bo with the present force or even 10,000 or 15,000 more men, be cause they have the country behind them to fall back if too closely pressed, a country where everybody sympathizes with him. ' Conquering a country as densely populated as . the Philippines are is no easy task with a moderate sized army, even if the lay of the country and the climate presented fewer ob stacles to the rapid movement of armies, speaking of the density of population, the following from the Washington correspondent of the same paper from which we quote will give some idea of what a job it will be to kill or capture enough of them to bring the rest into submis sion: V "Americans can hardly realize how densely some of the new possessions are peopled. Malolos is less than thirty miles from Manila, yet day after day American columns advanced through towns and cities from 1,000 to 10,000 population. The fact is, as shown by the last . census, that the population of the whole island of Luzon averages more persons to the square mile than many parts of the United States. Bv the census of 1890 Illinois had sixty-eight persons to the square mile of territory, and Indi ana had sixty-one. Luzon, by the census of 1889, had seventy-nine. There are parts of Luzon which are mountainous and almost uninhabited. The population is concentrated largely in the richer portions. In many prov- J mces ine population exceeds zuuto the mile, which is greater density than is found in any State of this country except Massachusetts and Khode Island. Luzon is not nearly the most denselv populated island .in the Philippines. The entire island of Cebu averaeres 110 people to the square mile, while Bohol has 188 and Panay has 155." But suppose we capture their armies, what then? Every town wo capture must be garrisoned, and small garrisons will not do in a country so densely populated and inspired by the hatred the Filipinos now have of the Americans. . We had about 30,000 men garrisoning Cuba and the Cubans were not hos tile. They were put there simply as a sort of police to preserve order. Cuba is a wilderness, in point of population, compared - with some of those islands. The 10,000 or 15.000 more men that our St. Louis con temporary suggests will not be enough. The General referred to in the Associated Press dispatch was nearer the mark with his 100,000, and very probably under it. ATTACKING THE AMENDMENT. There is a colored organization in the North known as the Afro-Amer ican Council which is moving to con- est the validity of the constitu tional amendment restricting fran- 4 , o . : chise in the State of Louisana, which it claims is a discrimination against the colored man. How they are going to get that question up before the courts until there has been an election, and it has been shown that somebody was deprived of the privi- ege of voting is not quite. clear, nor is it apparent what thev wonld gain even if the, Supreme Court should decide that the act1 was in violation of the letter or, spirit of the fourteenth ' and fifteenth amend ments of the U. S. constitution, for the franchise amendment would Btill hold good, under the conditions provided for in those amendments. The effect- would sirrfply be, if the matter were followed up, an d the State insisted on retaining the fran chise amendment, .to reduce the representation in the House of Rep resentatives and in the Electoral college, in propor tio n to the num ber of -voters disfranchsed. Refer ing to this movement the New Orleans Picayune comments as fol lows: ' "When the constitutional conven tion was discussing the suffrage pro vision," the entire matter of its rela tions to amendments XIV and XV of the Federal constitution was thor oughly gone over by. the ablest lawyers in the State. There is nothing in the suffrage provision which disfranchises any person or abridges his political rights because of race, color or pre vious condition of servitude. No action can be brought against the con stitution of Louisiana until some per son shall claim that, in an election held for representatives in Congress, he was deprived of the right to vote, and that such deprivation was caused by the operation of the constitution of the State of Louisiana. Then the mat ter can be put before -the Supreme Court of the United States. . "What can be done, however, is to cut down the State's representation in Congress to the extent that disfran chisement has been imposed on the people of the State by any law or con stitutional provision. Any such cut ting down, however, would cut off the biggest part of the negro delegation which helps to nominate Bepublican candidates for the Presidency. Mr. McKinley's nomination was chiefly se cured at St. Louis by negro delegates from the Southern States, and, should these be largely reducedrin numbers, big negro delegations from the South ern States, which have so much to say in Bepublican national nominating conventions, but which have no voice in electing the nominees, would be knocked out "If Southern representation in nnmmatmc conventions ahnnM k. I xl A - li. u 1 Iiuus cut uu, ib wuum nave its com pensating benefits for the Southern States, for, with no considerable negro representation in negro delegations to make nominations, there will be no reason why negrOes - should ; be ap4 pointed to f ederal offices in the state. We are interested in this because the amendment which will be sub mitted to the voters of this State in August, 1 900, is: substantially the same as that of Louisiana, J which the Afro-American Council is mov ing to contest. - ' - "IN TRUST FOE CIVILIZATION. Secretary Alger has returned' from his prospecting tour in Cuba and Porto Rico, on which he was accom panied by his. "business partner." Thjs is referred to as a tour of "in vestigation" to confer with the of ficers in charge' of the respective provinces and cities and learn the actual' situation of things, but as Secretary Alger took his "business partner" with him it was in all prob ability more a prospecting tour than a tour of official inspection. He was agreeably surprised at the wonderful possibilities" of those islands, of which ho had no ade quate idea before this personal in spection, which is a pretty good in dication of the industry with which he investigated, in which ho doubt less had the able assistance of his "business partner." It would not do violence to the probabilities to suppose that they got somo pretty good pointers 4n the "wonderful possibilities" of those islands. Since he has become personally cognizant of these "wonderful possi bilities " he would not loosen our grip on Porto Rico for anything, nor would he impede the noble work we are doing for Cuba which we "hold in trust for civilization." The gen eral impression has been that Cuba was civilized some time ago, but this seems to have been a mistake andwe must proceed indefinitely with the work of civilization, while the outsiders who have pull enough to get inside of the Belect circle will proceed to take in the f ranchies and concessions and illustrate those "wonderful possibilities." - In view of the increasing talk about "annexation"; Secretary Al ger's "holding in trust for Civiliza tion, is unique and suggest tive. It may be incidentally re marked that Secretary Alger doesn't believe in hauling down the flag the army or navy plants. GETTING IN THEIR WORK. The Pension attorneys hkve made their plans to reap a rich harvest out of the war with Spain and the war in the Philippines, for the appli cations for pensions are already pour ing by the hundred. There were not many men killed in the war for Cuba, nor many wounded, but there was a great deal of "embalmed" beef dumped into the camps to feed the soldiers. Commissioner Evans says if the applications continue to pour in as they nave been doing one-fourth of the army of 1898 will expect to be on the pension rolls before the year ends. Of course the war in the Philippines is going to add thou sands to the roll, for it is now be lieved by army men that we will re quire three times as many men in those islands as we have there now before, our supremacy can be thor oughly established. This will prob ably mean over 100,000 new names added to the pension rolls. The Pension Office figures up from present data an additional expense of 120,000,000 annually. The Thirty-fourth Michigan Regiment, which was in Cuba and under fire, has 380 applications on file. The District of Columbia Regiment, which was in no fight, ha3 350. The Thirty third Michigan and the Eighth Ohio come next in order. Neither of these was under fire or tackled the Spaniards, but they probably tackled some of the. "embalmed" beef. The Second Massachusetts, which was under fire, has 317 appli cations on file. .. These are the data on which esti mates are based and the prospective $20,000,000 annually added to the pension bill. Some conservative estimators figure the total expendi tures by 1904 at $230,000,000 a year. But the expansion racket must go on all the same. BOOK NOTICES. A book of inestimable value to any and every one engaged in the manu facture of cotton has just been ' issued by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, a practical mill man who , thoroughly understands the business from the ground up. It is entitled "Cotton Mill Processes and Calculations," an elementary Text book for the use of schools and home study, containing tables, rules and recipes, for the con-, venience and " direction of the stu dent or operator. The machinery treated of is illustrated by neatly and clearly engraved plates, as are also the tables of calculations, all made so plain that any ordinarily intelligent person can understand them. There does not seem to be anything omitted from this work which would be of any use to those for whose instruction it has been prepared. It is very hand-, somely printed, on the best of paper, and neatly and substantially bound. In preparing and publishing this book Mr. Tompkins has rendered an inval uable service to the cotton manufact uring industry of this State and of the South.'...; The reader who likes to have much condensed in small space, a brief com pendium of the movements of the day in the field of politics, economics, science, art and religion, will find the Literary Digest, published weekly by the Funk & Wangalls Company, 80 Lafayette Place, New York, a very valuable publication. .MANttOOD. : JOJBN TROCAND. 5 He stands the' test where souls are tried,' ana truest nonor Unas, r - " .Who conquers, manfully, the' pride That rules in feeble minds; Who seeks not rest in life's career, ;; Nor yet beyond the grave: Whose heaven is duty V noblest .r"'-i spnere ' a-. ; Not that which idles crave, , .

SUNDAY SELECTIONS. It matters not how long we live, but how well. To be carnally minded is death. but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. I'aul. I When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words than thy J Jil a n worus wuuouc neari. ; No cloud can o'ershadow the Christian in which his faith may not uiscera a ramoow. i Wounded vanity makes in im placable foe and fights with the energy or desperation and the heart of a devil. I It is wise 1 to seek relief from all our distresses by beginning with earnest cries for pardon and justifica tion. i Unbelief despises warnings. It hides the promises from us and fills us with security when dangers thicken around us. It is love that warns, not hate. i Simple minds reaches truth directly. The rulers reasoned Christ to be an impostor, but the people be lieve on him. What is hid from the wise and prudent is revealed to the childlike. . ! How wilt thou put off thy reso lution from day to day? Arise and be gin this very moment and say: "Now is the time for doing; now is the time to fight; now is the time to amend my life." A. Kempis. Persistence in our own way leads to destruction. It is a terrible doom to have Christ say, "Where I am thither ye cannot come," yet this must be the lot of those who will have their own way. I The late Bishop Brooks was right when he said, "Liberty is the fullest opportunity-for man to be and do the very best that it possible for him." God never gave any soul per mission to rush headlong to the bad. He who is determined to do so will find many obstructions in his way. !

Wilson Times: (Yesterday morning we had the pleasure of seeing the new invention of Mr. R. L. Wyatt. It' is a bullet which has long been needed, and which will handsomely pay the young inventor. The trouble heretofore had with steel bullets was that the surrounding coil of soft metal wasso shaped that it being shot at a hard object, such as iron plates, the bullet would not retain its sbape, and if a steel jacket was used the barrel of the gun would be injured. Mr. Wyatt has overcome this difficulty by so shaping this jacket to the steel that it will not give way but the bullet will retain its shape when shot through iron.
