IT IS REFRESHING.
It is refreshing to note the sub
sidence of the recent wave of senti
mental sympathy for Aguinaldo and
his rmy. As the truth is disclosed,
and the world learns Hie Irresponsible
character of Hie so-called Filipino
government, and hears of the atroci
ties committed by its army against
the Red Cro9, the Spanish prisoners
and even the Filipino people, the
Hoarites begin to understand the
absurdity of their recent hysterical
declamations. They begin to realize
that it was a mistake to measure
their sentimental guesswork against
the matured judgment and reliable
information of the administration.
president McKinley has not been
firing in the air. His sources of in
formation were official and trust
worthy. Months ago he learned
from Dewey, Wildman, Merritt,
Otis and o her officials of tb3 diplo
ruatic and consular service and the
army and the navy, the trut'i con
cerning Aguinaldo and his govern
ment and army. He knew that it
would never do to pull down the
flag and leave the islands to be
plundered and oppressed by bar
barians, because that step would
have set the United States back 100
years in the estimation of civiliza
tion.
The Hoarites have made the
further mistake of assuming that
Aguinaldo represents the diverse
interests of the islands, and that his
government was the choice of a
homogeneous nation. As a matter of
fact, his so called army of 30,000 in
flurgents is only one-three hundredth
part of the Filipino population, and
recent disclosures show that the
larger part of these 30,000 soldiers
have been fighting under duress.
For these deceived and unwilling
conscripts a tense of pity rises; but
or Aguinaldo and his treacherous
lieutenants, pity is wasted sentiment.
The United States has fed them and
-clothed them; has given them arms
and helped to rid them of their op
pressors. It was proceeding to deal
with them and their conntry in a
spirit of unexampled breadth and
generosity when they turned on their
benefactor and bit the hand extended
to aid them. Knowledge of these
facts is sifting into the minds of the
roost hysterical Hoarites. Spokesman-Review.
IECALENCE OF TITULAR NO
BILITY. Titled aristocrats of this day and
time, unpossessed of anything but
their patents of nobility, scarcely
- fare as well as the commoner who
has a trade or a profession. This is
particularly the situation in which
the pauperized British nobleman
finds himself, says the Telegiara.
In illustration of this, last evening's
dispatches mention that a New York
theatrical manager has engaged the
Earl of Rosslyn a sure-enough,
blue-blooded earl as a member of
one of his companies.
It is true that few peers of the
realm of Great Britain give such
publicity to their want of means to
support their titles in befitting stile,
but it also is true that the United
States contains many scores of
moneyless titled Englishmen, ic the
various walks of life, earning a sub
sistencc. Some of these are s .fferers
froui the unbridled extravagance of
their ancestors, and others have
themselves to blame for their "come
down in the world.
There is not a large city in the
Union, according to a statement
from a very authentic source, that
holds not, or has not held, one or
more of these unfortunate aristo
crats, within the past decade and a
half. Quite a considerable contin
gent of this class cross the Atlantic
with a view of retrieving their
fortunes by exchanging their noble
names for the cash of American
heiresses. There is hardly a doubt
that the Earl of Rosslyn had such a
'scheme in his mind's eye when he
lift home, and never dreaming that
the force of circumstances would
reduce him to the rnnk of a common
play actor.
A dozen years ago any titled
! Englishman or Frenchman who came
tu this country, however penniless,
could have his pick among American
heiresses. However,, it is not so now.
The "Pana Leiters" have dwindled
to a very insigi.idcaut number.
THE FILIPINO AS A FIGHTER.
The Filipinos have some fighting
qualities, but as warriors they are
not comparable with the North
American Indian. There would be
a different storv to record if Otis
were facing 30.000 hostile Nez Perccs
or Modocs, fighting them in their
own country, and conducting the
campaign over a network of water
ways, and a vast tanglo of jungles.
It required a regiment of regulars,
the services of a company of Indian
allies, the expenditure of several
million dollars, and a protracted and
bloody campaign to capture Captain
Jack's little band of miserable Mo
docs in Southern Oregon and North
ern California in the early '70s. At
the beginning of hostilities Jack had
only sixty Modoc and twenty Hot
Cieek warriors. When lie surren
dered there weie only fifty fighting
men and boys, about fifty women,
and sixty children. But in the
course of the war our regulars lost
100 in killed and wounded, of which
forty-one were killed, of whom seven
were commissioned officers. Includ.
ing citizens, a total of sixty-three
were killed, beside two Indian allies
in all sixty five killed and sixty-
three wounded, of whom some died.
The little band of fighting Modocs
surrendered to a force of 985 regu
lar! and 71 Indian allies. Bancroft
gives a graphic statement of the
arrival of the captives in camp:
"About sunset on the 22nd the
cry was beard in camp, 'Here they
come. Here they are.' Every man
started to his feet and every caair
sound was hushed. In front of the
procession rode Blair, the superin
tendent of Faiichild's farm, who
sharply eyed the strolling soldiers.
Fifty yards behind him rode Fair-
child; behind him the Modoc war
riors, followed by the women and
children, all mounted, or rather
piled, upon a few gaunt ponies, who
fairly staggered under them. All
the men wore portions of the United
States uniform, and all the women
motley assortment of garments
gathered up about the settlements,
or plundered from the houses pillaged
in the beginning of the war. Both
men and women had their faces
daubed with pitch, in sign of mourn-'
mg, giving them a hideous appear
ance. Among them were lame, halt
and blind, the scum of the tribe.
Slowly and silently they filed into
camp, not a word being uttered by
any one. Dans went lorwaid a
little way to meet them, when twelve
warriors laid down their Spiingfield
rifles at his feet, these being about
a third of the fighting foicc of this
band.
"Now that Captain Jack was no
more to be fenrcd, a feeling of pro
fessional pride caused the army to
make much of the man who, with
one small company, armed with
r'.fles, had bodied and defeated a
whole regiment of trained soldiers
wiih all the appliance of modern
warfare. But there was nothing in
the appearance of Jack to indicate
the military genius that was there
He was rather small, weighing 145
pounds, with small hands and feet
and thin arms. His face was round,
and his forehead low and square.
His expression was serious, almost
morose; his eyes black, sharp and
watchful, indicating cunning, caution
and a determined will. His age was
3G, and ho looked even younger.
Clad in solid cavalry pantaloons and
dark calico shirt, his bushy, unkept
hair cut short across his forehead,
reclining negligently on his elbow
on the ground, with a rjpe between
his teeth from which smoke was
seldom seen to Issue, his face motion
less but for the darting of his watch
ful eyes, he looked almost like any
other savage."
If Aguinaldo had 5000 soldiers of
the fighting quality of the Modocs,
he could prolong tho war indefinitely.
But be has them not. II is solJicrs

THE SA.VOAX TRAGELY.
The tragic affair at Samoa will
draw closer the bond of friendship
between the United Stales and Eng
land, savs tho Review. Forces
wearing the uniforms of the two
nations have been under fire together.
British valor and Ameiican courage
have faced a savaae foe. Sons of
the two countries have fallen to
geiber, and there is grief in England
and grief in the United Stales.
Lamentably, this unhappy event
may strain the relations between
England and the United States on
one bend, and Germany upon the
other. But that it will lead to war
is a possibility too remote and shock
ing for serious consideration. It can
not be believed that the British gov
ernment will approve the reckless
course of its hot-headed consul, or
seek to condone the wanton conduct
of Germans who are reported to
have incited Malaafa's savage war
riors to attack the forces of the
United States and England.
In the light of recent events in
the Samoan islands, the wisdom of
efforts to continue the tripartite pro
tectorate will be questioned. The
feeling between the Germans and
the British and Americans in the
islands has become too bitter for
harmonious alliance.
The situation requires cool con
sideration at Washington, London
and Berlin.
OUR I'll I LIT PINE POLICY.
There is certainly no exploitation
of the Islands tor our own selfish
benefit. There is no attempt, at
Americanizing the natives against
their wil'. They are to remain Fil
ipinos-, with their native creeds and
customs, so far as they desire to
retain the latter in preference to
others of which they may learn. The
Catholic may remain Catholic, and
the Mahometan may remain Mahom
etan. There will be piotestion for
each, but no compulsion for either.
And so the wild forebodings of the
Tagal rebels and of their handful of
sympathizers here are pilloried ns
sheer fancies, if not malicious in
ventions. The policy which has been
so successful in the native states of
the Malay peninsula and in the vast
East Indian empire of tho Nether
lands Is substantially to be applied
to our possessions in that quarter.
To say that it will not there meet
with equal success would be to say
that the Filipinos are harder to deal
with than the Malancans and Su ma
trans, or that Americans are inferior
in governing capacity to the English
and the Dutch. To neither of those
propositions are the American people
at present inclined to give assent.
Governor Merriam, in his capacity
as director of the census, expresses
himself plainly In regard to the
policy he intends to pursue in the
appointment of bis subordinates, says
the Oregonian. Candidates will be
examined and he will endeavor to
put competent persons in the places'
but civil service rules will not apply
to these positions. "It will be a
matter of influence, more or less,"
he says, and adds that practically
those candidates having passed ex
amination "who can bring the most
influence to bear will receive the
appointments." This statement is
conspicuous for its candor so much
so that it cannot be misunderstood.
The declaration should serve a good
purpose in dismissing to other pur
suits a multitude who would other
wise waste time and nervous energy
in hanging round waiting for a job
in census taking. While the policy
hints broadly at political favoritism,
saying boldly in effect, "No Demo
crat or Populist need apply," it is
something to learn we are dealing
with a man who docs not propose to
be a hypocrite.

Mra, Cowan
Keruaaa to Give Up Hir
Hoineateail,
Mrs. Sarah Cowan, wife of James
Cowan, agent at the Warm Springs
reservation, and who is very well known
in The Dalles, seems to he a woman of
more than usual will power, and one
who is not going to part with her borne
unless compelled to. We only hope
the may be able to retain It, though the
prospects do not Iook bright at present.
Wednesday night's Telegram save:
"A peculiar case is that of Mrs Sarah
E. Cowan. She wat brought here last
Saturday by Deputy United States Mar
shal Roberts from the Warm Springs
Indian reservation, pursuant to a decree
of the United States district court, to
cor pel her to transfer her homestead
property in Albany to the Bank of Cali
fornia to satisfy a judgment in the sura
of (6000 against the defunct Bank of
Albany, of which her husband, James
L. Cowan, wat the owner.
"The property in question was deeded
to Mrs. Cowan by her husband prior to
the suspension of his bank, and she
claims to have made Improvements on
it in the soin of $5000, witb money be
queathed to her by her father. Her
husband, who now is agent at the
Warm Springs reservation, signed a
deed conveying that property to the
creditor bank, but Mn. Cowan stead
lastly refuses to do so, despite a decree
of the United States court. '
"The strange feature of this cise is
that the federal authorities profess Ignor
ance as to why Mrs. Cowan was brought
here, unless it Is to coerce her to sign a
paper, which in the present status of
the matter Is entirely unnecessary.
"Under a decree issued by Judge Bel
linger, the property claimed by Mrs.
Cowan was sold by the United States
marshal and bought by the Bank of
California, the only bidder at the sale.
The marshal execnted a deed of the
tame to the purchaser, according to
law, which provides that in case a
transfer is not made of property within
thirty days of the issuance of such de
cree the marshal's deed shall operate
the tame as a regular conveyance.
"In view of this, it is difficult to un
derstand why Mrs. Cowan should have
been brought here. The court has noth
ing more to do with ber. But the fa t
is, as ttated by a prominent attorney
today, that she is here undei rule of
practice of the United States supreme
court, which authorizes ber detention
by the United States marshal nntil she
complies witb the decree 61 the United
States district court.
"The rule does not designate the man
ner in which she shall be detained, so
the marshal has placed her in the keep
ing of her married daughter, Mrs.
Meikle, on the East Side.
"As Mrs. CowBn is determined not to
tign away her property, ber ahnence
from the reservation may be indefinite."
