The Lewiston Journal abiding to the
economic problems that are involved in
the annexation of the West India islands
and the Philippines. says:
1t is obvious that great care must be
taken and the wisdom of statesmansh3p
invoked rather than snowy periods of
liberty. equality and fraternity. We
have had altogether too much OF
spreadeagleism touching Cuban patriots
and American duty. We must now see
that we do not makes slaves of ourselves
In trying to write the Declaration of
Independence on the dates and palms OF
the tropics.
To this we respond with a hearty
amen. The first duty of the American
government in settling the status ofAthe
territory lately under Spanish control is
to consider the interests of the American
people. Much, if not most, of the argu-
ment relative to the fate of the Philip
pines has seemed to proceed upon the
assumption that our first duty was to
look out. for the interests of the Filipinos.
Ev angeli cation is not one of our gov
ernment's functions. The power to tax
our citizens to ciYilize barbarous peoples
is not one of the powers conferred upon
our government by the Constitution.
| The uiyilizing and Christianizing OF
| unciyilized and heather people is I'M
doubtedly a very worthy enterprise, bat

powers granted our government. The
demand Of some of the religious
element that we permanently hol

upon a desire to promote the moral
and spiritual welfare of the fl1plnos

people of the United States, is one that

to. The permanent occupation OF the

our governments sending 5Gooo OF It's
citizens there, and exposing them to the
suffering that ia inseparable from that
climate. The work of evangelization
must be carried on by volunteers. For
the government to press men into that
service either directly or indirectly is
usurpation of power. Our governments
was established to promote the general
welfare of the people of the United States
mot of the Philippine islands, or Cuba,
or Porto Rico, and the first question
which our statesmen are under obl1ga'
ton to ask when any policy is under
consideration is whether it will be conduc-
i've to the general welfare OF our own
people. A government which subordi-
mates the welfare of its own people to
that of some other people is certain to
ALLEVIATE the loyalty and affection OF the

The proposition that Aguinaldo's ma
tional assembly makes to our government
is that it recognize thu independence
of the Filipinos and guarantee them
against foreign invasion. In other words
they want us to set up our Monroe doctrine
in the Eastern hemisphere. Had they
. simply asked to he allowed to form and
conduct their own government it would
be difficult to refuse their re quest without
turning our backs on all our professions
for hundred years past. But the sug-
gestion of protectorate has let us out
OF what otherwise might have proved a
very embarrassing predicament We can
give a pretty good reason for not assent
ing to proposition that would be likely
to involve US in continual controversy
with foreign powers, as the protectorate
proposition would be almost certain to
do, while we should have to do a good
deal of twisting to negative request
that the Filipinos be permitted to work
out their own salvation without any in
reference on our part, either for or
against them.

1t seems the "bomb'' which was ex-
pected to blow Theodore Rooseyelt's can
didacy for the Republican nomination for
governor skyward, was not the invention
Of the Democrats, but Of Gov. Black and
the Republicans who are supporting him
for denomination. Louis Payn. the
man Gov. Black appointed insurance
commissioner, discovered the material
vjthswhieh it was loaded, though Croker
may have assisted in its preparation.
The best New York lawyers assert that
there is nothing in the affidavit that Mr..
Roosevelt made in Washington to affect
his eligibility for the goyernorship of
New York, and it is altogether likely that
neither Black nor Payn really thinks
there is. What they hope, probably, is
that the ''bomb'' will prove good enough
to brighten off some timid delegates who
are now committed to Roosevelt. 1t was
seized upon, doubtless, as last resort,
as a forlorn hope, after all honorable and
open methods of defeating the Colonel
had been tried and failed. Black 8 friends
had been claiminglthat majority Of the
delegates were Cor him and that his nom-
nation was assured before this bomb
was exploded, but il. their claim had BEEN
well founded they would never have

There is very slight chance that the
commission now in session at Quebec
will be abba to arrange any reciprocity
that will be acceptable to either coun-
~. While the mercantile interests of
this country, perhaps of both countries,
desire such n treaty, the agricultural
and numbering interests of the United
States are bitterly opposed to it, This
appeared clearly at the hearings given by
the American commissioners the past
week, at which the American farmer and
the American lumberman begged that
no change be made in the tariff on
agricultural products or lumber. The
farmers, to say nothing of the lumber
men, represent SO large portion of our
population that it is not at all likely that
the American commissioners will be will

their wishes. But without reciprocity in

INSIDE OF DREYFUs CASE.
Comte Esterhazy Is Said to Have Con-

London, September 25.-The Observer
this morning continues its Esterhazy

article, the most salient features of
which is Comte Esterhazy's disclosure,

to the changes announced in the irlagi-

"That Dreyfus managed to spend long
holidays in Alsace without being appar-

GALA WEEK NOT SETTLED YET.
MERCHANTS WILL MAKE ANOTHER
APPEAL FOR RATES.

As Soon as the Presence of the Pas
senEer Agents Is Assured "a Meet
ing of Business Men VIII BE Call
ed-The Necessity for Low Rates to
Make the Celebration Success.
No Time for Delay if the CeIebra-
ton Is to Take Place.
The merchants have not yet learned
when they will be able to meet the gen.
eral passenger agents of the Savannah
lines again to consider the question of
securing a reduced rate on account of
the proposed special gala week. The mer-
chants regard it as useless to attempt to
hold the celebration unless a very low
rate can be secured.
1t is desired to have the railroad men
meet again with the merchants in order
for the latter to see if the rates granted
by the conference committee of the South
eastern Passenger Association cannot be
modified so as to come within the con-
ception the merchants have formed of
what should be in effect in order for a
big crowd to be secured during the cele-
bration The representatives of two of
the roads can be found here at almost
any time, but the presence of the passen-
ger traffic manager of the Plant system
and the general passenger agent of the
Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad
Is also desired. Col. B. W. Wrenn of the
Plant system notified the merchants yes
terdaI, through Assistant General Pass
enger Agent McFadden, that he could
not say when he would be able to meet
with them, but he would wire in a day
or so the information wanted. Mr.. Mac
Donell of the Florida Central and PENN
sular will also probably be at the meet
ing.
AS soon as Mr.. Rosenheim, chairman of
the recent meeting of the passenger men
and merchants, is advised of the date that
will be convenient for the railroad men to
be present another meeting will be called.
The merchants are unable to say wheth-
er they will be successful in their effort to
secure a reconsideration of the rates. If
khey can and the reconsideration is salts
factory to them, It is thought there will
yet remain sufficient time to make all the
necessary arrangements for holding the
gala week, which would begin April II. The
merchants are DESTROYS of finding out lust
where the difficulty lay when the general
passenger agents met a few days ago at
Atlanta to consider the rate They feel
that they were not treated exactly as they
mad reason to expect. as they say the rail
road men at the De Soto meeting gave
them every assurance of their support.

"A business man got out his life policies,
on which he had made many payments, to
negotiate loan with the company. He was
surprised when informed that the policies
had no cash value whatever.
This policy was not issued by the Mas
sachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. as that company indorses cash and
paid up values for every year after the first
on every policy. 1t costs no more to have
this advantage. Another important fact is
that every year, beginning with the first
anniversary, the company declares a large
dividend, which the policy-holder, at his
option, can use to reduce the premium
payments, to Increase the insurance, or can
be allowed to accumulate to accelerate
the premium paying period. Under the sec
ond option, the policy is credited annually
with the amount Of paid-up insurance pur-
chased by the dividend, so that in case of
death, his family will not only receive the
face value of his policy, but the reversion-
airy additions also.
