a mixed government in which two
hostile religions should share and share
alike. That was the American view
generally, and it reflected the thought
of the most impartial historical stu
dents.
But a so-called peace was trumped
up, a mixed rule established, and for
time, through exhaustion, there was
peace among the people. But scarcely
had the Turk perfected his re-estab-
lishment before the insurrection was
renewed, and now massacre and all
the horrors Of internicine and relig-
flict
The independence of Crete might well
be granted, the Powers guaranteeing
the complete neutrality of the island,
but jealousy Of each other will pre-
vent this being conceded, nor will the
Powers wholly expel the Turk, though
he has no more right to rule in Crete
than in the United States. He was
from the beginning an interloper ana
a conqueror, and never, though he has
had hundreds of years of opportunity,
has he succeeded in impressing him
self upon the people with the success
that makes his domination welcome.
Nor will he ever succeed. The time
must come when the Turk as ruler
will disappear from Crete, and the
sooner the better.

RETURN OF THE PHILIPPINES
TO SPAIN.

Aguinaldo's Peace Commissioners
have sailed for Paris, there to appear
before the American Spanish Comnis-
sion when it assemblies in october. The
question of their right to appear VIII
hardly be raised; they will be per-
mitted to present their case undoubt-
edly. and it will be a plea for recogni-
ton of the independence of the Philip
pines under the government
which Aguinaldo has set up. 1t would
be bad form to refuse the hearing these
men ask, but whether after that any
consideration of their claim will be
had is another matter.
We are inclined to the belief that so
far as the American Commissioners
are concerned they will decline to COM
init our Government in any way that
will make us morally responsible for
recognition or refusal Of it. 1t must
not be possible for the world to say
that we returned the Filipinos to the
domination of Spain, or that we have
anything to do with any portion OF
the Philippines and the conditions
therein, except such as we take abso-
lutely.
Our war with Spain was not pro-
jected in behalf of the Fihpinos. They
did not enter into our consideration at
all in the inauguration Of the conflict.
Their case, so far as our action is con-
cerned. is not analogous to that of the
Cubans. They had not appealed to us
to intervene, nor was there any such
obligation to do so as impelled us in
the Cuban incident. We have not taken
possession of all the Philippine terri
tory; indeed, we have control Of very
small part Of it, and even control Of
that is disputed by Aguinaldo and his
forces. We have Manila Bay. the city
Of Manila, the port Of Iloilo, and one
or two lesser places, and exercise power
over territory for a considerable dis
tance back from the shores of Manila
Bay. But over the 100000 people of
the Philippines VIC exercise no control
beyond the few hundred thousand near
to the bay of Manila.
If the treaty to be formed for per-
manent peace comedies to us, or we
are content with the island of Luzon,
which it seems probable will be all we
will contend for, we will not be open
to reproach for permitting Spain to
resume control over all the other vast
4t,a sc1o c5v 20
do not possess it, and have made no
effort to take any part of 1t outside of
the greater island of the group.
Nor can 1t be said that the existence
of an insurrection in the islands
against Spanish rule imposes upon us
the duty Of intervention. When such
territory is ceded as may be agreed
upon, all the remainder will be left
precisely as it was before Admiral
Dewey sailed in the darkness Of night
beneath the guns of Corregedor fortifi-
cations. The statement of that fact
will be sufficient reply to those who
are now arguing that we are commit
ted to the proposition that no part of
the Philippines must be returned to
Spain.
So far as the territory we have taken
In those Islands and now possess is
concerned the Record Union" has
contended from the outset, and still
maintains that having stricken off
Spanish chains it would be both un-
wise and unjust TO return the people
of such territory TO the rule Of ma
ton, the colonial enterprises of which
have always been signal failures.

This is a system of human serv1-
tude just as complete as chattel
slavery and in many respects more
atrocious; yet the so-called Demo-
cratic party, while claiming to be
the friend of the 1aborer, expressly
defends this system, and bids for
the support of those who profit by
it. But these are not the only mat
ters to which the party has been
recreant.-James G.. Mcguire.
