WHO DID IT?
The Asheville Register is billed for
at least one SDasm a week Vw full
view of the audience and without a
net. Its soasm last week jrras on ac
re'
count of the removal the "Anti-
amendment Club Siah" at Fairview,
which removal, alleges the Register,
was the work of Bome unprincipled
scoundrel." No doubt of that! Who
but a son of Bel&l would remove an
"Anti-amendment Club Sign?'
Inasmuch as that particular club at
A.
Fairview is doing n immense amount
of good to the Democratic party, and
is making a laughing stock of the
4
lilack-and-Tana.' we will say confi-
dentially to the Register that the "Anti-amendment
CI Jib Sign" was ruthless-
ly torn from its! moorings by one ol
the four or flveimembers of the club.

CARPETBAGGING PORTO RICO.
The Porto Rican bill is now the law j
of the land, with all its faults and im
perfections Chas. H. Allen of Massa
chusetts, now assistant secretary of
the navy, has accepted the post of gov
ernor under the bill and will leave at
once for the island. He and his ex
ecutive council of carpetbaggers ap
pointed by the president will have
more power and less responsibility
'than any body of men in our history ,
iias hai since the civil war.
If they do not loot the island it will
be because they are honest men, dif
fering from others of their tribe sent
south in 1865, and not because there is
anything in the laws to prevent them.
They are not elected by the people,
but hold office nly by the good will
of the president, and they have full
control over ail the enormously valu- j
able franchises of the island. Mr. Al
len's sense of rectitude will Je put to
a severe test as between the people
on one side and the powerful trusts
and syndicates on the other. If no
scandal results, it will be an unex
pected tribute to the sense of decency
of the McKlnley carbetbag council.
Republicans are having trouble try
ing to find a man small enough to be
McKinley's running mate.
McKlnley is quoted as saying that
'"Otis has earned a rest." Well, hasn't
he been talking ever since he went to
Manila?
"Speaking of Thomas Jefferson,
wouldn't he have a sweet time recog
nizing the party he founded?" asks
the Chicago Tribune. He would know
It as eoon as he read the 1896 plat
form, but how about his recognizing

the constitution of the United States
cinoe the Republican party has muti
lated them?
SAME OLD STEAL.
1
The thleviih Bhip subsidy bill has
been modified in some of its details.
but it remains a bill for jtne robbery
i
of the American people. lt is said
that an attempt will be made to pass
the bill at this session of congress, or
else that the senate will pass it this
spring and leave it as a legacy to the
house next year. However and when
ever it is passed li will be a theivish
measure. .
The bill was drafted to aid passen
er boat. used by those who can af
ford to travel back and forth across
the Atlantic, rather than the freight
boats that carry American produce to
foreign markets. These exports are
carried mainly in slow ships. A freight
boat with a capacity of 7500 tons
would receive for a round trip between
New York and Liverpool a subsidy of
14740, while the St. Loots, one of the
American line boats, with a capacity
of 3500 tons of cargo, would get for
the round trip 26,000. In proportion
to the amount of produce carried the
fast boat would get more than eleven
times the subsidy of the freight ship.
This method of distributing subsidy
funds may be beneficial to foreign im
migrants. Last year the boats of the
International Navigation company
brought from Europe 32,000 steerage
passengers, mainly immigrants. This
year it will bring more. Were it to
receive for the comparatively small
amount of freight carried the heavy
subsidies it is proposed it shall have,
that company would be in a position
where it could reduce its steerage rates
and thus swell the number of immi
grants seeking these shores. But im
migration is large enough now. Boun
ties should not be voted to add to it.
This subsidy bill is not designed to
help the American farmer or cattle-
raiser. It will not make new markets
for their products. It will not give
hem over competitors any advantages
they have not now. But the bill cer
tainly v- ill aid the American line and
corporations affiliated with it, like the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. The
steamboat company will be enabled to
give cheaper rates to Poles, Hunga
rians and Russians coming to this
country. Why should Americans be
taxed to assist immigration which is
not always desirable?

NEAREST APPROACH
Strong Endorsement by Frank
Die's
County School Superintendent Ven-
able has received the following let
ter: "Prof. S. F. Venable, County Superin
intendent of Schools, Asheville, N. C.
"My Dear Sir: I have for some time
been fully alive to the deficiencies in
our present public school system. My
attention was particularly directed to
the subject by a remark made to me
not many years ago by a prominent
public school official to the effect that,
in his Judgment, more than 75 per cent,
of the school funds of the county were
absolutely thrown away were pro
ductive of no benefit whatever to the
school children. This was not intend
ed as an indictment, of the then ad
ministration, but of the system; and
while the same thing could never be
said of your administration, it yet re
mains true that satisfactory results
are impossible of attainment under
ilic present crude and antiquated sys
tem. The necessity for something
better has become as apparent to the
Intelligent laity as to the teaching
profession.
"Not only has the hour struck for
a change, but the new and better sys
tem appears to be already at hand.
The plan proposed by you and ap
proved by our enlightened and pro
gressive board of school directors
seems to me to go the farthest feasi
ble length toward correcting the evils
of the present system and to be the
nearest approach to the ideal that is
possible under existing conditions.
"The efficiency .of any school system
depends primarily upon the capacity
of the teachers employed this in an
alogy to the well known physical law
that a stream cannot rise higher than
its source and X therefore recognize
as the chief excellency of your plan
the higher orderof teaching talent
which is assured by the provision of
practically all-the-year employment
for the teacher.
"In this age, when nearly every de
partment of endeavor is specialized,
no man can hope to accomplish even
tolerable results in any vocation ex
cept by devoting himself to it to the
exclusion of other employments cer
tainly no one can hold the pace of a
learned profession by following it from
four to six months in a year only.
"No sensible man would mploy a
lawyer or doctor who gave only half
his time to his profession. The teach
er's profession, conscientiously learned.
Is
hardly less difficult than either of
the others, and it is far more import
ant to society. Why, then, should a
lower standard be set in the employ
ment of a teacher?
"The first and highest need of our
new system Is better equipped teach
ers; and this you have provided for
by making it worth the teacher's
while to better qualify himself for his
work, and by Inducing a competition
that will compel him to do so.

W. KINGSMORE WRITES HIS IM
PRESSIONS OF PHILIPPINES
AND FILIPINOS.
Manila, March 2. Well, I have seen
Manila by daylight and by moonlight,
but not after 10. It reminds me of the
song, "Don't Stay After Ten." We
have the "curfew" law here and mar
tial law prevails. If you are out after
that time a guard will take care of you.
There are many, many soldiers here on
duty besides the many hundreds of
native policemen.
Manila is an up-to-date city as fa
as business is concerned. It is as diffi
cult to cross the narrow streets here as
it is Broadway, New York.
We received 511 sacks of mail the
24th, and I received some letters from
the states. There is nothing that does
a man more good than to get 1 ters

The natives are the poorest types of
people I have even seen, and the
shabbiest pretenses for men. I tho.ight
Porto Rico and Cuba had bad enough
mixtures, but when you get their
mixture with Chinese and Japs I fall
to try to express an opinion. They
seem industrious enough, though. In
Porto Kieo the men are very crood
types of the Spaniard and, generally
speaking, the women were very pretty;
but, horror of horrors, the faces of
the Filipino women "would almost
drive a horse from his oats." There
are indeed a very few Spanish women
here, but tRere are quite a number of
business Spaniards here who have
married these mestizas.
There are a number of things here
very different to those of Porto Rico
and Cuba. They have a kind of large
lighter for transporting cargoes to and
from ships. These are called cascoes,
and whole families live on them. The
carriage generally used is called a
carametto, with the same little horse
of Porto Rico and Cuba, but instead

bao or water buffalo, as homely an an

at work they almost live In the water,

seconds.

etc., of Porto Rico and Cuba, and tjie
cigars are equally as crood.
Instead of having plazas as in the
former places they have what is called
aluneta, a long drive by the seashore
w hich circles, with a pavilion for music
in tne center. On Sunday afternoons
old. young, rich, poor, soldier, officer,
Spaniard, American and all other na
tionalities and mixtures drive or
piomeuaoe around the luneta. This is
aDout their only pastime. I was out
there the 2 2d and there were thou
