DOUBTS OF FOREIGN SINCERITY.

According to the 'Dia' of Madrid,
Republican paper from which the Lat
erary Digest" translates, Aguinaldo re-
ceived from the Spanish Government
$4,000 to retire from his original re-
bellion, which he did. But he did not
use the money, placing it on deposit in
Hongkong to be drawn upon in case
Spain did not adhere to the agreement
upon which he had retired. That Gov
eminent failed to prove true to him.
1t distinctly repudiated the material
pledges it made, and continued to per-
secute the natives Of the Philippines,
and one Of Its agents sued Aguinaldo
and tied up the money in it's name.
At this Aguinaldo considered himself
released from all obligations, and
States Consul at Singapore, aided by
Howard Bley, an Englishman. He
asked to be permitted to form re-
sponsible government for the Philip
pines under protectorate Of the Unit
ed States. The Consul communicated
with Admiral Dewey, and on the 10Th
of April, it is alleged, an agreement
was drawn up and signed, which Aguin
aldo sent to all the European Powers.
1t provided for the independence of
the Philippines, a federal govern
ment, the provisional officers to be
named by Aguinaldo; he to recognize
the temporary Intervention of an Amer
lean and European commission, to beap-
pointed in case of emergency by Dewey;
the ports were to be open to the world,
Chinese immigration to be restricted,
the corrupt judicial system to be re-
formed, liberty of the press assured, re-
Hgious freedom guaranteed, but re-
striction of the religious orders to be
had; measures to develop the wealth OF
the country to be passed, guarantees
given for the building of roads and rail-
roads, distractions to private enterprise
to be removed, the new Government TO
maintain order and prevent reprisals
upon Spaniards, and the Spanish OFF,
Gals to be removed to healthful ISL
anu uiiliI tuSy SoulO NC - 0AASkoAS~N
to Spain.
This agreement differs very materl-
ally from that given out by the Asso-
ciated Press which gained its informa-
ton from European representatives or
the insurgents. LIE Matin'' of Paris,
commenting upon this agreement, de-
clared that an active exchange of views
had been carried on between the Euro
pean Powers on the subject, and an
| understanding practically arrived at;
that Germany made no concealment of
her intention and wishes, namely, that
Spanish rule should be maintained in
the Philippines, but If 1t must disap-
pear by reason of war, then the Euro
pean Powers should interfere, much as
they did in the Japanese Chinese war.
And "Matin" went so far as to say that
an agreement had been drawn to inter-
nationally define the spheres of inf1u-
ence of the Powers, and that despite
the talk about Anglo-Saxon fraternity,
when the time came England would
follow the lead of the other Powers.
| The significance of the foregoing is
found in the conduct of the Germans
| in and about Manila after Dewey took
that port, and more recently in the res
cue of the ex-Captain General Of the
Philippines by German warship. and

The men who bought SPANS Cuban
bonds and are now gnashing their teeth
over probable failure to receive their
money, speculated upon the blood Of
Cubans. The security they had was
Cuban defeat; Cuban oppression and
continuation of the heart grinding pol
icy Of Spain in the fated isle. And
now Spain has the impudence to as

of territory acquired in this war, is a
Democrat or a Populist. Senator
Whites bitter opposition to the war is
a shining example of the inertia of the
party.
Is there any doubt, in the minds even
of Democrats and Populists, that the
Republican party is the party of all
others which will always be found in
the front rank of such reforms as those
demanded by General Barnes? Has
not the Democratic party always made
the complaint that the Republicans are
making the Government too strong;
that the tendencies Of the party are
always to centralize the powers of
government beyond the limits of the
Constitution? Have not the Populists
stood in the way of Republicans and
progressive Democrats every time the
far-sighted men of the army and navy
have ever asked for modern appli-
ances? Was it not the Populists who
complained bitterly about the PROPOSE
ton of buying smokeless powder?
Back of the ragged army from Ten
nessee there is a cause, and back Of
the shoeless soldiers from Populistic
Kansas there is also a cause. 1t is a
part of the creed of Populism that the
maintenance of an army for the per-
petuation of the present social system
is a criminal expenditure of money. IT
is a part of the Democratic conserva-
tive program to make no preparations
for emergencies until emergencies
arise. The Democratic-Populis pro-
gram is as short-sighted as that of the
luckless Indian Of the plains, who pro-
vides nothing for tomorrow, and
| whose estate at death is not greater
than that of a horse or wolf
| The party that will prepare for the
| tomorrow of civilization is the party
that met in Sacramento in convention
| and nominated Henry T. Gage for Gov
ernor Whatever sound and just re-
forms in government and economics
may yet be woven out of the warp and
woof Of events on the loom of time will
be assimilated by the party that pro-
duces such thinkers as Ingersoll and
General Barnes to expound it's princi-
pies. If the soldiers of the Republic
are to be equipped for battle and kept
alive in decent quarters until they face
death on fields of honor it will be by
the principles of the Republican party.

FEDERAL REPRESENTATIV IN
THE COLONIES.

Having now become colonial
power the important question presents
'tsalf what sort Of administration are
we goingl to give our new possessions ?'
That l. will be better than that just
broken down, goes without saying, be-
cause no American system to which we
would commit ourselves could be so
cruel, disregardful Of human rights, and
so oppressive as that of Spain has
been. The latter country has, after
four centuries of effort, proved it's inca
pacity. Without experience in colonial
directions, We are now to have our abil-
ity put to test AS for Hawaii, its sys-
tenn SO nearly resembles our own that
there our task will be light.
The gravity of the experiment and
the momentousness of the enterprise in
general, however, ought to, and we be-
lieve, will steady US. We will proceed
slowly, with extreme caution. and while
we will make mistakes, probably some
deplorable blunders, on the whole
our movement will be steadily pro-
gressive. We have that faith in the
good purpose of the Government, the
honesty of the people, and in their Wig
lance, that we are convinced we will
improve conditions greatly and in the
end succeed to the admiration Of the
world, and the close and loyal attach
nent of the people Of the colonies to the
United States.
We care a great deal less for the
administrative regulations Congress is
to adopt and for the executive powers
TO be imposed upon colonial Governors.
and for the special laws to be passed to
meet local conditions than we do for
the men who are to administer and to
| execute and who are to discharge spe-
Gifted duties imposed upon them by the
Federal Government. If mere politi-
clans and place-seekers, wire-pullers
and mixers at the public teat are to
get control, our victory over Spain will
prove to have been dearly bought and
to be curse to the colonies What we
future. is broad minded, conscientious
able, courageous and incompatible men
to manage affairs in the new stations
Sucfr men are to be had and in plenty,
but in the selection of them there is
going to be a. world of trouble No one
will envy any President the task of
filing these places. The influence, y
the pull and the demand" will be
such as TO require unusual backbone to
| resist, and do just what is best for
| the colonies, regardless OF the pressure
that will be brought to bear to reward
political servitors, and crafty personal
| ambition, irrespective of their qualifi-
cation and general fitness for the
places. We have had awful examples
enough in our consular service of the
unwisdom of sending untried and in
competent men upon distant posts to
prevent repetition of such blunders in
sending out Colonial Governors and
| subordinates.
The suggestion presents itself strong
ly, that to fortify the Administration in
this respect, and prevent political scan
dals and disgraces, there should be es-
| tablished something IN the nature of a
special colonial service relating solely
| to official positions in the colonies.
There must be no shifting along the
whole line every four years. and the

notably the dead silence of the Ger
man Government at a time when a
word from it would have dispelled all
doubts as to the real intention of that
Power. But all that has been said
has been vague, and capable of almost
any construction Germany might see
fit to place upon it.
Notwithstanding the confidence felt
by our own people in the pacific inten
tons of Germany, we so little share in
them that we shall not surprised when
the Peace Commission meets to find
the German State assuming a menacing
attitude, and Spain declaring that she
was brought to an agreement under
cow, to submit under duress to a COM
mission without an umpire, and ap
pealing to the Powers to support her
in a demand for reconsideration Of
the basis of peace.
In short, notwithstanding the yielding
of Spain her acquiescence in a Peace
Commission, and her apparent willing
ness to settle the Philippine question
without the intervention of any Euro
pean Power, there are reasons to sus-
pect shutting, if not treachery, on her
part, and from that a lead UP to the
intervention automatically of Ger
many, and possibly other Powers. Late
dispatches indicate that Spain is pre-
pairing to put in absurd claims for pub
h,riJ1 bow fnvxy
and claims for debt payment by us,
and the like shutting contentious If
1t comes to a claim for payment for
public buildings taken, we have an easy
offset in a claim for indemnity that
will be a short way out, and leave
Spain our debtor after allowing all her
claims.
The protocol does not exclude a claim
for cost of the war on our part. We
have shot in our locker Spain will by
no means relish if she attempts to
wriggle out of a fair peace settlement,
and to drag in other nations. That
Spain will protest before the matter
is settled and attempt to win Euro
pean sympathy in her support, is to
be believed from the expressions made
by Senior Moret, and the silence Of Sa-
gasta, who has full knowledge OF
Moret's expression, and that what he
uttered was intended for the worlds
ear, when he declared that there could
be no settlement of peace terms with
out an umpire We shall continue to
suspect Spain, and Germany also, until
the hour the treaty Of peace is signed,
sealed, and the usual documents ex-
changed.

THE PARTY OF PROGRESS

General Barnes glowing tribute to
the Republican party, in his mastery
and touching address before the State
Republican Convention on Wednesday,
is worthy Of more than passing notice
and for deeper reasons than those
that spring from it's consideration
merely as a splendid piece Of oratory
Its beauties of smile, it's purity of
language, it's depth of patriotism, and
its value as a brilliant summary of
some of the modern services of the
Republican party are apparent to all:
than the emotions he aroused in those
who heard his rounded periods and
who applauded his arguments and his
imagery. He touched on one theme
that is as vital as the life OF free
government-that is, the life and well
fare of those who defend the Stars and
Stripes.
These words are a text and a plat
form in themselves: Let us learn this
lesson, and those who legislate wheth-
(A itCAC Vi dl w lOIl, lGI The IGS-
son be inculcated there: That from this
hour on, this army is the army of civ
ihzation, equipped, prepared; that our
navy is not the seventh, but equal to
the first, and that we shan keep the
peace by being perpetually ready to
fight for the flag, the heritage Of our
fathers and the hope of mankind"
Again, the orator said, after pictur-
ing the pathetic death of soldiers in
wind-swept camps, and after paying q
tribute to the shoeless and hatless SOL
diers from Tennessee, who shouted for
the flag as they marched In shreds and
patches: TT shall never be well with
this Government until 1t shall have
learned that the life Of a single soldier
Is worth as much as the life of the ma
ton Never shall we do our duty I'M
ill., when we have a call for men, we
shall send them out equipped and ready
OF war, and not keep them imprisoned
in such sinks Of misery and iniquity
as that which lay upon the edges of
San Francisco. Sickness, misery. hor-
ror, has reigned, and there on one
range of the cemetery Of the Preside
are $50 graves of American boys
murdered before the battle by neglect
and want of proper attention"
Every person who reads these words
will recognize the fact that they ex-
press the very essence Of Republican
doctrine. Without attempting to rob
any Democratic soldier Of his share of
the glory Of recent victory, without
claiming that the Republican party has
a monopoly of the patriotism of the
country, 1t may be said with entire
truth that the party of Lincoln and
Grant is now, as 1t has always been.
the soldiers friend, the party of prog
ress in war as we'll as in peace On
the other hand, the very principles of
the Democratic party, as announced
by all its leaders from Jefferson to
Cleveland particularly in Cleveland
recent Princeton speech) preclude 1t
from advancing save in the most fear
full and snail-pace manner.
Every man who ever criticised the
policy of the Government in the recent
triumphal war was a Democrat or a
Popuhst Every man who hesitates
to-day in the presence Of problems that
demand the better equipment of the
army and the extension of the strong
arm Of government to the protection

FIRST WEDDING
OF THE SEASON
Miss MurieI Anterior Sc
IectS Her bridesmaids.
DebutanteS for '9S.

The social season is to be inaugurated
by fashionable wedding, in which the
high contracting parties will be Miss Mu-
riel Atherton and Albert Russell No def
mite date for the wedding has yet been
announced, although it has been decided
that the marriage will be celebrated in
the very near future.
Miss Anterior who was one Of the most
popular of the many pretty debutantes Of
last year, has already chosen her brides
maids and maid of honor. Her brides
maids will be the Misses Kate end Mar
garet Salisbury, Miss Susie Blanding,
Miss Clara Hamilton and Miss Florence
Josselyn. Miss Frances Moore will be the
maid of honor.
The debutantes this season are to be
but. few, but they will make up in
grace and wit and beauty for the pow
erty of their numbers. Only four buds
have thus far decided to make their fnf-
tia1 bow to society this winter and they
are Miss Olive Holbrook, Miss Margery
Gibbons, Miss Josephine Loughborough
and Miss, Alma McClung.
Miss Holbrook is the daughter of
Charles Holbrook and the sister of Mrs.
Sam Knight and Harry Holbrook. Miss
Loughborough is the daughter Of Mrs. A.
H. LOughbOrough and Miss Gibbons the
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Henry Gibbons.
All of the debutantes have many friends
and lovely homes and will doubtless en-
terrain extensively, as well as grace the
many entertainments that are sure to be
given in their honor.
