Dox't iiick flaws in everything
your enemy does or says. Jbew men
are wholly bad.
Real estate is moving in Browns
ville ani the old town will soon
be having a building boon. .
Admthal Schley is coming to
Texas in October. Those cities
which he will visit will vie with
each other in doing honor to the
hero of the battle of Santiago.
Another who has found . the
.atmosphere in America unfit for
members of the millionaire class is
James J. Van Alen, who declares
lie will "0 to live in England, "the
only place fit for a gentleman." So
he will trarlsfer himself and hi
millions to that island,, where his
wealth will bu' him the privilege
of hob-nobbing with titled people
who will drink his wines and smoke
his cigars, and laugh in their sleeves
at him.
According to Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, "the cause for the
increase in the price of beef is nat
ural. iEffthe secretary be right,
then what is the meaning of the
administration's suits against the
beef trust? Either Mr. Wilson is
woong, or else he is merely trvmg
to screen the beef combine. In
either event, his remarks put the
administration in the light of
making a sort of grand stand play
for the sake of the effect upon the
people.
The United States census bulletin
giving the various agricultural and
other products of Texas for 1S99
-shows some glaring discrepancies
between the census taker's reports
and those of the tax assessors of
the state, according to the Galves
ton ews' Austin correspondent.
In the item of cattle, for instance
Texas owners are convicted by the
census of having had in 1S99 no
les than 9,42S,106 head, while the
tatf comptroller's report for 1901,
two years later, shows only 6,800,000
head of cattle in the state. Other
items of taxable property also show
up much larger in the census returns
than in the tax assessors reports,
but none show such a great dis
crepancy as the item of money. The
United States comptroller of cur
rency in the year 1901 found that
there was $72,000,000 of cash de
posited iu the national banks of
the state, while the total amount
rendered for taxation that year was
only $15,000,000. Thus it appears
that Texas property owners are as
expert at tax dodging as the New
York millionaires.
IT ALL DEPENDED.
A girl baby was recently brought
to a clergyman to Ik1 baptized. He
aked the name of the baby. "Dinah
M.," the father responded. "But
what does the stand for?"
interrogated the minister. "Well,
I do not know yet; it. all depends
upon how she turns out." How she
turn out? Vhy, I do not under

The War Department this (after
noon gave out the order issued to
Lieutenant. General Miles to -go to
the Philippines. It- -is signed;? by
"Wiir Department,
lug. 26.-
Sir:$$have the hxmpr to state that
your -ai3nlic!ation;fdr authority to
inspecfthat portion of the army
'serving in the 4 Philippines s is ap
proved bv the President. You will
- A ' i
sail about the loth of September,,
and inspecting the condition of the
army, will give particular attention
to its instruction, discipline and to
supplies of all kinds."'
It is"the understanding that in
that capacity, though of superior
rank, General Miles will hot inter
fere in any way witn General Chaf
fee or his successor, General Davis,
in the direction of the army in the
Philippines. He will critically ex
amine the conditions as- he finds
them, devoting his attention'entire
ly to matters of administration and
not to political affairs, arid the re
sults of his vQjffc will be embodied
in a set ofjports. Some Such work
as this was undertaken a few months
ago by Inspector General Brecken
ridge, who has prepared a volumin
ous set of reports, Avhich have nt
yet been published, making sugges
tions for the betterment of the" mili
tary service at every point, from
transportation down to discipline,
accoutrements and supplies.
In the absence -from Washington
oi uenerai lilies no one at armv
headquarters is fully authorized to
discuss the details of his projected
trif. But it is believed' here he will
be wpcompamed by at least two
meimjers of staff, namely, Lieuten
ant Cilonel "Whitnev and Colonel
Reber, ffhe latter his, son-in-law.
Colonel Mans, who is the inspect
ing officer of tl& staff, also may ac
company General Miles.

"Should existing conditions in
the United States continue I will
be compelled to educate my boy ;tt
Oxford," said Wu Ting Fang re-
eentljv "1 should be delighted to
matriculate him at an American
college, but unfortunately he can
not enter the United States once I
pass beyond its boundaries, and he
would have no -standing before the
law. The phinese exclusion laws
are such that I would be prohibit
ed from educating my son in this
country, although I think it would
be to his advantage to receive his
collegiate training and post-graduate
degrees here. After my depart
ure it would be possible for anv
fanatic to denounce the boy and
make it very unpleasant for him.
However, I hope within a few years
that the statesmen of both coun
tries will evolve some basis of law
which will permit Chinese mer
chants and students to reside in
this country under proper regula
tion of law."
Probably the astute Chinese-minister
never presented a better argu
ment for his opposition to the Chi
nese exclusion laws than the above.
The boy is peculiarly bright ' and
has received almost his entire pri
mary education in the public schools
at Washington. He inherits his
father's peculiar knack of observing
things. Near the Chinese legation
is a , sky-scraper apartment hotel.
One day some his young com
panions were discussing their Bible
le,-jon and coiwaTirg the text:
"in my Kuners-nonso tae arei;
r.iaay mansions.' pgo youngsters
were uuzzled and tjhe fiftfe onental
was keenly iaterested. Anally lie
volunteered tliesusestion: "Mavbc
it is an apartment house."
