THE SIGNS.
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,

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

solid, bare, black mass of rock reach

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

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.

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 aveyatra

street, tbe goods being spread out on
the floor for sale. 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. I have not slept with my clothes
off since the night of April 6:h- I
will bring this to a close hoping that

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
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.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. ,The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
