ors order llo decreed that business
in them uhould bo transacted In the
Spanish language This was tlie death
blow to u number of aspiring Ameri
can lawyers who had migrated to Ma
nila In hope of winning fame and for
tune Hut oven that was not enough
Tho Judges of this courts themselves
through anil through were with three
exceptions Klllplno natives If you can
Imagine to yourselves tho white people
of Mississippi or Louisiana being com
pelled to havo their law cases decided
by negro Judges and those only you
can picture what tho appointment of
Tagalo Judges meant In Manila
The British government once at
tempted the same thing in India ap
pointing native judges to try white
people There are In India KiMOOOlHMl
brown people and only UTOtHH whites
nil told but such a howl went up from
those whites that the authorities were
glad to roMlud this sentimental action
as quickly as possible and they did It
in a hurry and that was the last of It
though the natives of India are a race
superior in all respects to the Tagalos
and mestizos of the Philippines In
Manila the man who has been appoint
ed Judge of tho supreme court Is a na
tive who has nothing In his manners
or appearance to distinguish him in any
way from the man and brother who
cleans your r hooB or takes care of your
horses Tho other day his honor the
chief Justice was walking across a hall
In tho Judiciary building when he spat
upon the beautiful tiled lloor Perhaps
he was dreaming of the rathole of a
nlpa hut lu which his boyhood days
wore passed At any rate he commit
ted the above abominable olVense
against decency and civilization In
presence of the guard of American sol
diers who were In attendance Instant
ly a hand was laid upon ids honors
arm not too gently
Dont yo spit on this lluro said
a voice In a delightful brogue If that
occurs again Ill arrest yo now mind
said tho Irish American soldier to his
honor tho chief justice of the supreme
court The Justice made no reply but
passed on quickly
But do you know who that IsV said
a comrade to his guard
I dont euro who it Is I know mo
orders All coons look allko to mo
iiiHwcrctl tho bold Irishman
And It Is certain that till the Tagalo
changes his character to something
more forceful and capable than his
present one no matter to what post of
honor military or other authority en
deavors to raise him to tho white man
tie will continue to bo a coon noth
ing more
Yet while American military rule
lifts the Tagalo at some points above
his capabilities at others it lias de
graded him below the level of human
ity A few let us be thankful they are
n very few American otllcers shame
their country and the divine Imago of
manhood by boating and kicking their
native servants like dogs Taking the
ouo from this American private sol
diers lu the streets have been known to
knock down n defenseless native and
take away from him tho fruit or other
wareB he has to sell They have oven
robbed poor old decrepit women of
their trays of mangoes or a wizened
little Chinese peddler of his bundle of
gay silk handkerchiefs and made off
with It Fortunately such erlmluuls and
dosperadooH In our ranks arc again
very few Most of our soldiers conduct
themselves lu a way that their fellow
countrymen at homo may be proud of
them 1 have watched them narrowly
mid I know this Is tho truth Hut tho
very few who Illustrate the beauty of
military rule by abusing natives do not
servo to Increase tho love of the Ta
galo either for such Kilo or for the
American government
A ory curious case occurred tho
other day One afternoon an American
gentlemans coachman did not appear
as usual to drive him homo Tho car
riage was late and when It arrived the
gardener was with It Instead of the
coachman
Whore Is TomasV asked the Ameri
can
In the calaboose Honor was tins
answer
In brief Tonuis had boon anosted
for passing bad paper money on China
men and unlives llo had III his posses
sion a inutility of good gold money
that he had got In exchange for his
worthless notes They wore American
notes livery kind of American money
has been hitherto believed In the is
lands to be worth Its face lu gold so
ho had no dllllculty In getting rid of It
American soldiers do police duty In
Manila Touiiih old the olllcers at tho
prison that he had the stuff from an
American soldier whom ho had giv
en gold for It After persuasion of u
kind unfortunately too well known III
the Philippines was used however he
told them ho had found It on tho Iu
neta and this story lie stuck to Ills
master was sent for Where had Toiuas
obtained the bills Ills master was
one of those queer people who collect
curios There Is no accounting for
tastes Among his curios was a pile of
old American slate bank money Wild
cat money I think It was called
Tagalo servants go through their em
ployers belongings like mice or
roaches and Tomus knew what his
master had better than that gentleman
himself did Tito master trusted Tomas
as he would havo trusted his own
brother he did Tomas carried his
keys and sometimes Ills money Ono
day this honest Tagalo asked his mas
ter about tli money lying In the trunk
Tho American explained to him that It
was not any good and thought no more
of the matter It was this stuff that
Tomas had been passing exchanging
for gold at Its face value Tliu honest
and trusted Tagalo thought his master
was saying falsehoods when he said It
was worthless
ItlMU TttllflU WllV llllt Villi itll
this wild his trusting deluded mas
ter Didnt 1 toll you this money was
worthless
Yes senor replied Tomas Hut I
thought you might bo mistaken and I
wanted to Hud out for myself which
was a defense quite worthy tho su
perior Intellect of tho white man
But why didnt you toll thoni where
you got It asked itis employer
Senor answered the little brown
man an American soldier told mo It
was very had mucho mnlo to have
tills money and I feared If 1 said I
had It front my master they would
punish you too So I told them I found
it on the Iunota
Once more it will be observed that
hero wits a plea worthy the superior
while Intelleit
The gentleman went to the coin
maudiiig olllcer of the prison Thai In
dividual wild
The follow told us all kinds of lies
till we gave him a good belting then
we got something like tho truth out of
him
The whip that had boon used for Ih
bolting was shown to Tonuis ma
ter It was of the kind known as a
snakeskiii riding xvhip a club covered
by a skin with rough spines all over It
an Instrument so cruel that no humane
man will ever strike Ills horse with it
And with this thing of torture the
Tagalo had been Inhumanly lashed
across his naked body by order of an
American army olllcer another Illus
tration of the beauties of military rule
Such Incidents are fortunately ex
tremely rare but one has as much ef
fect as a hundred would have Tho
Tagalo Intellect is only a poor Ilttlo
muddled one Incapable of seeing line
points hor this reason the natives
have not yet boon utile altogether to
see the vast superiority of the Immune
AMFIIIUAN SIGNAL OKIS AT WOItK
and enlightened American rule over
that of their old masters the Spun
lards The true way with tho Filipino
natives Is to treat them neither as white
men and equals nor as slavish infe
riors but to take a course half way be
tween as nearly us possible They
should be dealt with like the children
they are mildly and humanely but
tlruil being led on toward the fullest
enlightenment they are capable of at
taining What that Is remains to be
seen They never yet had u fair ehunce
