The situation in Ofieans seems to indicate the beginning of a race war. We hope, h >w,jver, th it s"cu is not the case. It may fa one of ttose too fre^aoatf occurrences where the negtf) is at fault and th3 white mm ^'-x~not altogether faultless. Be it what it may, to an observing m in it appears ^ that the indications of the times point to a not far distant solation of the racial problems. It is contrary to all history for two races separate and distinct to live together in peace and unity. Life is bnt the environments, and environments cannot both be and not be at the same time. If environments are such as to fo3rer the prosperity of the white nun, then ir must follow that tbey are not, anacanno: oe such as to foster prosperity an>l posterity among the negroes. Nat ore has so adapted herself that every platt ar.d and animal of different species mast find ita place in climates and environments suituble to it. Then we may lay down as a premises of the first magnitude, an<* exactly in keeping with the laws of natnre and of Gcd, that the negro is out of place. Either this or the reverse, viz , the white man A osvt than fn t ViO 19i A W4US&WU wuvu *g w ?mw rery natnre of thing', inevitable. It . mast corns sooner or later. Indications go to show that it is not far distant. The white man is in every particular the negro's superior, and will ever submit to certain questions of supremacy and liberties, even though the civil laws stare him in the face, and divine justice cries out within him. Social eqaality is not and will not be granted to those of the same race even, when surrounding circumstances are different. Thfs being tJie case, we may affirm that soonerwill the heavens roll back as a scroll than social equality be established between different races and colors. Political liberties and freedom mean different thing* to different race?. To one it means power and rule, with individuality and personality com'ng to the front through perseverance and hard fought battles, with temptations besetting on every hand, being curbed and held in submission to the everlasting and fundamental principles of right and justice. To another it means unrestrained actiOD, anarchy and ruin. n-na free/1 nm mpana indament. to the other it means defiance. Thee can there ever be established a means between them? To seek for a meaus between thing-j so totally different is foolishness. Morality bears a different meaning to different races as much so rs to different individuals. One race mast sabmit to the principles of morality which are contrary to its making and to its nature or the other will ram them into it with explosives. And so the argument might be con-? * ?? 1? untiea, contrasting every pua?c ui mc until we reach the final analysis of life it?elf, and then we will find a totally different meaning, for life to the white man means betterment, mentally, morally and physically. Life to the negre means reproduction, and that is the sum of it; this is bis magnum opnml This being bis understanding of lire, and bis one pnrpose, we May safely say that he will continue, and with increasing ratio too, to press npon subsistence and finally reach that bor der limit where be and his offspring must starve, or where the white man mill ViJmaftlf onffpr hv reason of dividing substance with him. Cereals increase in arithmetical ratio within certain limits, beyood which they cannot go. The animals increase in geometric ratio, and a like proportions, and are consbmed as ^>od; bat the negro increases without restraint in geometric ratio, and i* and must be destroyed by famine, pestilence and war. Nature must purge herself ere long! ? A TOUR THROUGH THE ROCKIES. 1 Mr. Editori To a travel-r in tbe We9t there is nothing that arrests more attention, or makes a more vivid or lasting impression on the mind than the grandeur of the Rockiep. As first seen from th3 window of tbe "Paget Sound Express," at a distance of some one hundred and fifty or two hundred miles, they appear as the dark bine mass of ibunder-beads that sometimes cluster around tbe setting sun. My attention was first , called to this by a fellow traveler wbo informed me that it was the Rockies in Wyoming. At first it was hard to realize it, but several hours' ride made the fact very evident. Before, reaching the famous range, we darted into the Black Hills of South Dakota, and for the time being the Rockies were hid from the view. POat of the Black Hills, across the "Dead Lands" of South Dakota, we once more sighted them, feat this time in Montana. Three hours' ride brought us In the midst ot tne wonarenowned chain. Eatering we foltowed ap a narrow gorge or canyon cntil the passage became too close for tbe train; then into a deep, d-.-k tonne! of a mite or more 11: lar.<rth; 1 hence * bridging the beaatifnt vttiirv of tbe - Dakotas; tben around the o.ge of & cliff where the Dakota River flows some ilfteeo hundred feet below, and a straight msiss of rocks projecting seven or eight thousand feet above, leaving barely room for one track. All around could be seeu peaks looming thousands of fee;: into the heavens, ?l?kvV'' &: it is ?.. - . : . .. the lower part of wh* >.b is sometimes covered with tall white pine trees; the higher op the mouQtaiiii i- -v.? look the less they grow, till at length the eve passes tfae timber lino. Then a solid, bare, black mass of rock reach on ogner, tin 11 strises me ime 01 perpetual snow, bence the tops are [ robed in a winter garment during summer month's. i As we make through northern j Wyoming the Great Northern follows j the Yellowstone River for mile3 and | miles through the mo3t rug?ed mountainous region of *11 this country. ! A stream of a mile and a quarter across 13 sometimes forced into a narrow passage of only a few hundred ; yards. In such places the roiroftha | river can be heard above ihit of the | train; and at such places we are sone' times hundreds of feet above it, thns mafeiDg this portion of the ride very exciting. For miles no trace of human hand can be found, except that of ihe train and its track. All in all it seems as if n.

LETTER FKOil THE PHILIPPINES. 1 Caravan, Mindanao Inland, Philippines, June 4 ?I will try and give you some pictures of our Filipino subjects as they work in their fields. You must imagine the beautiful valley made up of a great pitchfork of little silver gray patches served to? -* ? r ?^ ~ ~ J gciuer wita wiue strips <ji green auu embroidered with wild fbwers. Yoa mast add magnificent mountains, as blae as the Blue Ridge of toe Alleghanies, rising and falling in rugged volcanic beauty, away off to th3 right and the left and through the valley tall turfts of green bambDo. Upon this as a background the Filipinos stand, or rather stoop, more picturesque even than their surroundings. There are hundreds of women dressed in queer clothes in which bright red often forms the principal color. They Have great round nats, lice oreaa bowls turned upside down, short jackets, which always seem to be about to fall off from their shoulders, bag-like skirts which are often ticked up so that halt leg and bare feet show. The men wear their shirts outside their thin cotton transera, anJ many of them have on great hats like the women. There are also children of all ages, some dressed much Jike their parents, and a few with almost no clothes at all. You will see a boy with a white shirt on, the tail of which jost touches his hios. and a black beit round his waist. The rest of bis body is perfectly bare. The most of the rice was cut two months ago. The heads have been taken off one by one, tied op in bundles not much bigger than a good tize bouquet, and carried home to be threshed. Halt of the straw, for some reason, is left, in the field, and people are now going through the fields cutting the stalks. Tney tie them in bun tle3 and shock them up :c low wind-rows and small piles. Each girl has a hook like a knife * ith a long handle, and she bends over low as she cuts. Thev thresh by holding on to a pole, nailed to bamboo stakes in the ground, and jumping up and down on the rice straw which lie- under their feet?tbia is the human ih.es>hing machine of the Philippines. Tney are treading oat with iheir weight tbe rice lett in the straw. Toe crop itself is threshed when tbe graia U fir-t cat. The little bandies are stacked uy ibout the bat or placed with their heads downward on tbe ground inside an enclosure to dry. Wheu thoroughly ripe tbe heads of tbe stalks are put in a mortar made by hollowing out a block of hard wocd, and men, or women, pound upon them with great wooden pestles, thus threshing the rice from the straw. Tbe winnowing is done by the wind, the i tei*-g thrown into the air again a...ltin, caught in a tray. n>t ? i.. JLiiC yJ'ii V auimaio uscuiu uiiac uciuo are the water buffaloes or caribon, and now and then can be seen an ugly black pig. The caribon are everywhere. They drag great f&im carts with wheels a yard in diameter, aDd haul sleds through the rice fields, the grouud being so soft that no wagons are used. They plough along with their heads dowD, dragging rude, onebandied plows like those of primitive farmer*. The rarihnn ar<? riridan a<? *e!l as drivea. The men uially moant their backs to go home from the fields. Yoa often see them ridden by the children, and still stranger to relate often by the birds Almost every buffalo you see in the fields bas a bird on its back. Oae will be seen with a great while crane roosting on him; further on, another with a crow on its back Each bird is pecking at its buffalo, but he understands why it is; he knows that the birds are good fiy citchers, and that they live wi the insects which are trying to live on bim, The-? is only one railroad in the Philippine Islands, it runs through Luzoh, and h now in bad condition, having been torn up again and again by the insurgents. Many of the stalinn: qro in rnitiB Thorp at-A picrhf locomotives lying near Banban in one of the rirers over which the track crosses. The remains of entrenchments are within a very few miles, and in some places the fortifications thrown up by oar soldiers, behind whi;h they lay and shot at the enemy. The railroad belongs to an English syndicate which will undoubtedly attempt to make the Americans pay heavily lor their use of it. It is a debatable question whether anything should be paid for the road or not. I am told it was operated by Philiprkinno anf) (hot ihnir Phllinninft f?m. ^ ~ ? ployees were the men who did the most damage to it, its depots, and rolling stock. It is 120 miles lODg, and goes through a country as level as a fbor. Its construction must have been comparatively easy and cheap. It has fifty-sis pound rails, a gauge of forty inches, and rolling stock from Eog'land. The cars have been repainted and stamped by the United States Government. They are old boxlike affairs, and extremeiy uocomfortable. There are first, second, and third class cars, the first not being better than that if an immigrant car. The roadbed is, I should judge, not over thre;; feet above tbe surrounding country, but ibis stems to be enough to pie-erve it from the floods of the t rainy season. This railroad has been in operation for about eight years. Ii was originally built on a guarantee of 8 per cent from the Spanish Government, bat the first contractors tailed, _ _ _ _ 1 and those who follewed claimed that I they had to pay so much to the government as bribes that they could make no money. The original capital was to be less than $5,000,000, but the road is now bonded up to the neck and what will be done with it when peace permanently comes is not known. It will be a very valuable piece of property as it rans through one of the richest parts of the islands, and has perhaps 5000 square miles or rice ana sugar lands along the track. It has other territory which it taps also, connecting the northern part of the island with Manila. At present the road is run entirely by soldiers. They are the brakemen and the engineers, the mail clerks and the station men. Every train has guards in uniform upon it and at every station there is a company ready to defend it against attack. Now and then some one shoots at the car3 as they go fl>iug along. Until recently none bat soldiers were allowed to travel on the road without a pass, bat it will soon be open to both passengers and freight ot all kinds, and it may be tbat it will be given back to its owners in a short time. Nearly every section of these isiands has something peculiar to itself. The dialect? are so different, that it is said that the common people of Southern Luzou, are unable to make themselves understood in the north. At the same time the Lagalo and Spanish are enough to enable one to trade anywhere. The common people are not traveler?. The ordinary man does not known anything about the country ten or fifteen miles bevond him.sNot loDg ago, a priest was asked if there were not some men in Ms village who could guide one of the companies over she mountains. He replied that he supposed there was not a man in the town who had ever been to the mountains. Only the fewest of the 3?hilippinos of Northern Mindanao have ever visited Manila, and as a rule, the average man seldom goes five miles away from home. Uatsiae me savage regions iue Looses of the people are much the same every where. Every village has a piazza or open space in the centre, with the church, the government offices and some ot the be9t houses facing it. Back of these, often for miles into the country, the roads are lined with thatched huts made of poles of bamboo, having their walls of woven bamboo, and roofs of nipa palms. These hats are nsually from 3 to 6 feet above the ground, in order to be out of reach of the water during the rainy seasoD. fhey are so high up that the water buffalo, and other live stock of the owner can be stabled under them. This often forms the shelter for the farming tools, casts, and sleds. The houses ot the better class have the first storv of stone, and the second of wood. There is no plaster iu any of the house?. The walls are of beard, and tha windows., which arc very large, usually consist of a lattice work filled with (bin oyster shells. The best families of the country towu3, as well as of Manila, use the ground floor of their houses for stables, and the lady or gentieman who goes out to call on a rich Philippino friend, has olten to walk carefully by tbe horses in order not to soil his or her clothe*. I do not know how the country stores look iu time of peace, just now, they are very small. I should think $5 would buy all the dry goods in Cagayan, and leave considerable change after tbe purchase.

The merchant is usually a woman, who squats down among the goods a8 the waits for her customers. Our last fight was on the lO.h of May at Agnsan, seven miles east of Cagayan. Fifty-one insurgents killed and about 100 wounded. We lost 2 Americans killed, and 3 wounded. Everything has been quiet sin:e, but ws are lo^kin^ for another attack on Uagavan sodn, and stay prepared for it.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. > ^ The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they filter out the waste or impurities in the blood PIf they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the'heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. ix usea xo De considered max only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, | but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble.
