WORTH TRYING.
It has been suggested. In a halt joking
ort of way. that our government raise
one or more Filipino regiment for ser
vice in China, The Filipinos have pro
ven to be good fighters when properly
drilled and equipped, and. with their na
tural hostility and contempt for the
Chinese, would doubtless render willing
and efficient military service.
Th Spanish always had several
native regiments, and we have already
organlied a native police force. There
are enough Filipinos well disposed
towards the Americans, and well
trained by actual warfare, to make up
a strong military force which could be
rut j ulckly into the Held of hostilities
In China
Several good things would be accom
plished by such an undertaking.
Much-needed assistance could be
quickly, easily and cheaply rendered
the Americans who are now confronted
with a fearful death from the Boxers.
The necessity of sending more of our
brave boys from here would be obvi
ated, at least to a considerable extent
The restless Filipinos would have a
new field for their military ambitions.
Large numbers of the best fighters,
particularly the officers, would be with
drawn from the forces of the now.
dying rebellion, and its immediate and
total collapse would be inevitable.
There Is probably nothing which would
so quickly and. fully reconcile the na
tive leaders to American sovereignty
over the Philippines as their employ
ment at full pay In active service In
our army.
It Is the custom of the Englfsh gov
ernment to play off one class -of Asiat
ics against another In their frequent
vara, and it is a custom which
could be most advantageously adopted
by our own government In connection
with its Eastern expansion.
The idea deserves to and will doubt
less receive full and early considera
tion by our war department.
CALCULATING THE CHANCES..
San Francisco Call.
Both the great parties have now plac
ed their tickets and their platforms
ir. the field. The rival forces have been
lined up. It Is to be another contest
between McKlnley and Bryan of pros
perity against discontent. There has

been a vast change In the conditions
of business and Industry sine the for
mer contest, and torn change there will
be In the Issues presented to the voters.
Consequently there Is more or less un
certainly as to what the results of the
chamjes v-iu be, and political experts
are beginning t, speculate icnccrnlng
them.
Four years ago M'Klnley received
7,lo4." and Ilryan 6,W2,?:5 of the pop
ular vote, and of the electoral college
Mi Ktnloy received 271 voles HHlnst
ITS for Bryan. In that election McKin
ley cutrird Maryland, West Virginia end
nil of Kentucky's electoral votes except
one. It la claim that he cannot car
ry those states this year, and there are
some seemingly sanguine democrats
vho declare he will lose New York also.
There are 447 vote in the electoral
college, and it will require 224 votes to
elect. The Chicago Times-Herald fig
ure that Bryan will have this year the
lTj votes he received In lSiMS, and In ad
dition thereto may carry New York,
with thirty-six votes, Kentucky, with
twelve In addition to the one given for
him before, and Maryland with eight.
This would give Bryan 23S votes and
elect hlio. In fact, he would not need
the Maryland vote if he carried the
other two.
Sanguine republican experts estimate
that Bryan will not only gain nothing
this year but will lose many of the
votes he received four years ago. In an
estimate published some weeks ago
General Gmevenor conceded Bryan on
ly 174 votes. A republican estimate
r.inde during the Philadelphia conven
tion concedes to Bryan only 161 votes
and claims for McKinley 2SS.
Such estimates make no allowance
for doubtful states, but it is not to be
denied that some of them are doubtful.
The only question Is what states are to
be considered so. The New York World
says Bryan has 1 votes sure and Mc
Kinley IK sure, and put New York,
Indiana. Ohio, and Minnesota, with a
total of S3 votes, as doubtful. It gives
Kentucky, Maryland and West Virgin
ia as sure for Bryan, and In that re
spect runs directly contrary, to the
Philadelphia estimate that each of
those states is sure for McKinley.
Perhaps the most trustworthy calcu
lation yet made Is that of the New
York Commercial, as follows:

On that showing McKinley, having
2to votes, needs only 18 more to be
elected. He can lo3e New York and
Indiana and Kentucky and still be
elected. Bryan, on the other hand, has
only 144 sure votes and has to get
80 more to win. To him New York
Is a necessity.
CONDITIONS AT CAPE NOME.
Tar:oma Ledger.
It will avail the Interests of this state
nothing to misrepresent the conditions
In Alaska, mining and otherwise. The
Seattle idea will not save Washington
the disrepute which attaches to the poli
cy of falsifying for commercial purpos
es. Eetter out with the truth, as we
find it.
There hag Just been received here a
letter from the pen of a Puget Sound
lawyer who was absorbed by the pio
neer tide setting in for that part of the
American republic north of the arctic
circle, which Is fixed in the public im
agination as Cape Nome. His sketch
of the situation Is graphic. A great
mass of humanity, lured thither by the
hopes of gaining fortune, Is at its wits'
end. Real estate has reached a specu
lative value which renders it Impossi
ble for Intending purchasers to settle.
tVithout the means to pay Insane prices
for the right to sell their goods, many,
perhaps the large majority, of the
small emigrant merchants have been

compelled to dispose of their goods ht a
loss.
Meanwhile, It would seem thftt those
transportation companies which should
be most sincerely Interested In the de
velopment of the camp have enjoyed a
monopoly of high prices all winter by
means other than creditable. With this
summer's Influx of men and materials
they played bear with the prices, to the
Irreparable injury of the new comers.
Cut these are not the worst features
of the situation. Commercial conniving
and sharp practices with respect to the
ale of human necessaries might have
been anticipated. What Is most dls
cournging Is the mining entanglements.
Never before. In a state or territory of
the Union, has the possible output of a
camp been complicated with such sel
fish disregard of Individual right under
the federal mineral act. Five, ten,
twenty-five, fifty twenty-acre clulms
comprise a trifling area of personal
ownership. The man claiming
ownership to 100 locations Is common.
For the first time In the history of min
ing under American law the power of
attorney has become an Instrument of
fraud so far-reaching that only the ted
ious test of wholesale litigation can
frustrate It.
For miles and miles the country
seems to have been closed to personal
efforts; the Industry which solves min
ing problems Is going begging. Invest
ors who bought titles to alleged miner
al deposits, and shipped machinery to
develop the ground, find themselves dis
possessed: their plants useless. All Is
a war of titles.
The results are traceable to a cause
the court, once established, should lose
r.o time In affirming. When Price, the
agent, and Lane, the grub staker, found
gold through the accidental discoveries
of the alien Laplanders and Swedes,
they should have lived by the mining
laws. Instead of organizing to take ad
vantage of non-cltlzen locators whom
they could manipulate. One of their
alien partners, apparently acting under
the advice of the Americans, was glad
io oeconie me representative or an un-
American minera' association, as recor.
der of the district The records show
that In hla own case, and that of his
associates, location after location was
made anj recorded, in the gulches, on
the tundra and on the beaches. Not
satisfied with personal and partnership
claims they, as co-operative companies,
filed one after another group of claims
In the best gulches. All this in one and
j I the same district, organized by a small
number of men, the majority of whom
were not citizens of the United States.
The aliens are not to be blamed se
verely. From all accounts they acted
under the advice of full-fledged Ameri
cans, who planned to take advantage,
by theoretic purchase and corporative
absorption, of the powers of attorney
Invented for the occasion.
It Is a matter of no surprise that the
American miners from the Klondike
coming after, last winter, should have
Jumped and relocated In all directions.
In every Instance of peaceable posses
sion these latter locators have an ad
vantage cf occupancy the court may
fully realize upon proof of the conduct
of the recorder and his confederates.
At the bottom of the trouble In the
mineral bearing area Is a question nev
er raised before In this country. Min
ing camps and mining associations have
always been tolerant of a foreigner
who located and worked property with
the intention of becoming a citizen to
protect his title. But never, until the
organization of the Nome district, did
aliens constitute the majority of the
local lawmaking body, and elect one
of their Ilk as recorder. The question,
in brief, Is, can a majority of aliens
legally comprise a law-making body
under the federal mineral act, or under
the constitution of the United States?
In the light of such information as
has been received, people who have
turned tbelr eyes Nomeward sbou'd be'
warned that the present year at least
will be consumed In settling the legal ;
disputes affecting the most promising
placer areas in the district, and that
commercial enterprise is greatly overdone.
