AMERICA IN THE PHILIPPINES.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE FILIPINOS TOWARDS THEIR RULERS.

(FROM TIETIMES" SPECIALCORRESPONDENT.)

In a former artick I discussed the

present popular evitation in the Philippines for Im mediate Independence, and saw how the Filipines themselves believe, or pretend to believe, that they are already fit to be trusted with self-government. Not only this, but a large number of the natives, and especially those youths who have received veneer of education in the American wohools, look on the present American government with evident seperciliousness, and are confident that they themselves could do the work much more prot- Lily if they were given the chance. Americans that the Filipine he been spoiled, that he has been patted and made too much of, and that, both politically and educationally, he bas been harried along too fast. We know how such things may coeur elsewhere thau in the Philippine

We have not got the

trick of winning the respect of the Oriental, Lo you fellowa hayo" 180 more than one Ameri can is likely to say to the British visitor. And it is true that the Americana haw somehow missed establishing in the Filipines any anch fealing of affectionato respect as in the early days the satives of many parts of India learned to fool for the Englishmau; and so are not now speaking of any respect for superior physical strength, bat of the loyal regard for what was believed to be the British nationa} character.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE LOJAL GOVERNMENT.

Politically the Filipino is already sutrasted with a large share in the civil government of the islands; less large, perhaps in actual power than in semblance of authority, but none the less large, Municipal government averywhere, except in the city of Manila, is in the hands of natives. The administrative unit in the Philippines, with ather more autonomy than an

An English county und less than au American State, is the Province, and the Provinciel officers are all natives, elected by the natives, with the sole, if important, excep tion of the Provincial Treasurers, who at

That, in brief, is the interesting story of Mr. H. Harrow,

3, Stanstead Rd., Hoddesdon, Herts. He could not eat and retsin his food, and so be lost 24lb. in weight; he could neither sleep nor work; be had pains in the chest-all through Indigestiori! BUT, he took Mother Selgel's Syrup, and, in his ownword, "I have been without pain or the throwing-up

of food, from the time I took the third dose.***

THANKS TO THE DIGESTIVE TONIC Mother Selger's Syrup gave Mr. Harrow appetite, but it didmore. It restored his stomach to working order, so that it could retain and digest food. Then food nourished blar and built up his strength. If you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work; your stomach is out of order. Mother Stigel's Syrup will quickly set you right. The herbal extracts of which it is made will restore your stomach to working order.. Then you will digest food, and well-digested food will-build up your health and itrength.
