OUR CIVIL WAR CITED.
As Reason for Philipinos to Surrender
to Uncle Sam.
Seattle, Wash., June .'J. ?According
to a letter from a Washington
volunteer in tho Philippines,
a novel argument has been
presented bv Filipinos at Manila,
who favor the unconditional mirs
render of the insurgents.
They have sent a resolution in
to the interior which reads in part
us follows: "Would to Cod that
the Filipinos might learn a lesson
from the sad history of the Confederate
States of America. The
Confederates were defeated by
land and sea, and after four years
of most hitter and bloody fighting
thev surrendered unconditionally.
Their land was laid waste,
anil the country is still behind
other sections of the United
States in prosperity.
We huve certainly shown our
patriotism and bravery, and sure
ly our honor has been satisfied.
We have nothing to gain and
everything to lose by the uneipial
struggle. We have a group of a '
thousand islands, inhabited by
8,000,000 people. They have | <
80,000,000 now and 8,000,000 I i
blacks as well able to stand the t
tropical climate as Filipinos, i
America is generous, as is shown i
by the treatment of the Confeder- 1 (
ate States after surrendering. Let i
us give up. Already there is a s

SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVIES.
Judge Buchanan Holds Them
Unconstitutional?The Reasons.
To the Editor of The State:
Judge Buchanan has held that
part of the school law which
provides for levying a special tax
unconstitutional, in that the voting
is limited to voters "who return
real or personal property of the
value of $100 for taxation." He
hold that all electors who are
qualified to vote in other elect'ons
should he allowed to vote on the
special Tax. Upon these grounds
he has issued an injunction to
stop an election which was advertised
to he held, in accordance
with the statute, in Boykin school
district No. 11, in this county.
This also stops several othor contemplated
levies in this county.
1 would ho glad if attentiou
was called to the situation so that
the legal authorities and members
of the general assembly may investigate
the matter and provide
some plan to reconcile the constitution,
the siatuto and the court
