No Government But Military
Rule for the Philippine
Islands for Some Time
Yet.
No Currency Legislation at the Com.
ing Session or Congress.

WASHINGTON. DEC. 6, 1895
MIR. Mckinley has made it plain
to Senators and Representatives
who have called upon him since
Spain agreed 20 our terms for the
surrender of the Philippines to us
that he has rot made mp his mind
what we ought To- do with ihe Phil.
ippines and will not do SO until we
have had them under military CON
troll long enough to get the infor
nation necessary 10 form an in
telllgent opinion. That SORT IT
talk has strengthened the chances
of the treaty of peace for ratiiicn-
ton at this session of Congress, rs
1t comedies with the opinion of
three fourths Of the Senators re-
CARELESS Of party. The opinion is
practically unanimous that the
taking OF the islands away from
Spain was the right thing thing to
do, but there the unanimity ends.
What sort of q government will
follow our military rule of the
islands nobody can say at this
time. 1t will depend largely upon
public sentiment in this country,
and that will be governed by cir
cumstances.

HANNA'S TRICKERY.

Mckinley, Hanna & Co. have trick
ed Congress and the people ever
since the active discussion of the
Cuban question came to the front.
When the consular reports were
demanded they were withheld and
the accounts of Spanish atrocities
published Ill the anti-Republican
newspapers we're denounced as lies
and set down as the output of "sen-
sational journalism"
At last the consular reports have
been submitted, and in them is to be
found the plain proof that the Repub-
ican administration has hed to Con-
gress and the people for the purpose
of preventing discussion and of Sc
curing a dishonorable peace.
One week after the destruction of
the Maine Consul Lee cabled
the Government as follows:
Cooper cylinders ammunition
found intact in ten-inch forward
magazine, starboard side, this morn
ing. Seems to show that magazine
not exploded. Evidence beginning
to prove explosion on port side by
torpedo"
Mark Hanna, the personal friend
of the President, and the man who
boasts that he made Mckinley, said
two days after the receipt of Lees
dispatch:
IL think the destruction of the
Maine was an accident, just as l
thought OF first. l have held all
along it was an accident, and l have
seen nothing presented to make me
change my opinion"
or course, Hanna knew all about
Lees message, and therefore he lied
when he said he had seen nothing to
mako him change his opinion.
But the most fragrant instance of
trickery and double dealing is to be
charged to Secretary of the Navy
Long. 1t was a week after the recep-
ton of Gen. Lees telegram when
Long gave out this famous announce
ment:
"The element Of Spanish RESPONSE
bility for the Maine explosion may
be considered eliminated"
Wall street heard what Long said,
or, rather. knew what he was going
to say, in advance of the public, and
Wall street men made fortunes out
OF their advance knowledge.

point in the governments measures for
maintaining tranquility, says Mark
Twain. in narper's Magazine. Every
body says it does not like to see any in
dividual attain to commanding influ-
ence in the country, since a man can
become a disturber and an inconveni-
ence. "We have as much talent as the
other nations" says the citizen, re-
signedly, and without bitterness, "but
for the sake CT the general good of the
country we are discouraged from maxi
ing it over-conspicuous; and not only
discouraged, but tactfully and skillful-
ly prevented from doing it, if we show
too much persistence. Consequently
we nave no renowned men; in centuries
we have seldom produced one-that is,
seldom allowed one to produce himself.
We can say to-day what no other nation
OF first Importance in the family of
Christian civilization can say: That
there exists no Austrian who has made
an enduring name for himself which is
familiar all around the globe.'

Is simple. 1t is found in that impure blood
