SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS $

The most important event oI the past
week was the report Of the surrender oil
Manila by the spaniards to the United
States. Il puts decidedly ne" phase
on the Philippine Island question.
With the islands actually in our pos
session 1t will be very difficult thing to
give them up, and the chances ar, that
we will he Obliged TO keep them even II
they are a white elephant which they
are liable to prove to be. The capture
OF Manila was almost formal affair rfthe
Spaniards only making show oil resis-
tance, about all they could co against
the Americans. In fact II looks very
much as il they were waiting for an op-
portun,ty from the manner in which 1t
was done. While they would never
have given up to the insurgents they
were very prompt to do go TO Uncle
ssm's boys. The affair has greatly IN
creased the popularity OF Dewey.

these and other charges OF error on the

where, men are content to protest they
have the utmost confidence in Presiden
Mckinley. He alone is in possession oi
all the facts. His Weldon aagacity and
patriotism knew no bounds. Being
president, and especially . Republican
president, no treatment of TIE Philipp-
ines, no views OF the Maine disaster, no
choice OF the camps of staff officers. em-
anating from him can be questioned.
The king can do no wrong. Whatever
is, is right. Whatever Mckinley does Is
best. The Oregoniau speaks not now of
the general course of the administration
or even OF its conduct of the war. 1t
has no genera,principIe either of praises
or commendation. Every act must be
judged by itse.f. Choices will demon
strate their folly or wisdom by their
ultimate results. So far ss the war dep
