The Philippines.

II we occupy the Philippines per-
manently, we sacrifice honor, for this
was not to be war of conquest. We
undertake to govern 100000 OF
Malays and Chinese, task even
England would shrink from. We
plunge head over heels into the COM
plicated and threatening problems of
oriental politics. We paralyze the
nerve center of the Monroe doctrine,
since by extending our sphere into
the Old world we cannot consistently
repel the advances of old world
nations on this hemisphere. There is
such thing as the "balance of power"
II we occupy territories in Asia or
Europe, we may expect Germany and
France to demand compensation in
territory in Central or South America.
To maintain the Monroe doctrine in
America and the @Dewey doctrine" in
Asia at the same time will inevitably
involve us in wars in comparison with
winch this one with Spain is child's
play.
Do not listen to the man who
snecrs at our isolation" which the
two broad oceans have given us is a
blessing. Nature has made US what
we are, and nature has helped mold
the foreign policy which claims the
leadership for America on two CONT
nents while isolating us from the
strife and complications of the other
three. this unique and powerful
position should not be weakened by a
gre edy stretching of hands across the
sea.-Sprlngfield Republican.

Western Physique.

Eastern papers have found much
food for thought III the number Of
volunteers rejected by the me dical
examiners. The York PLst COM
ments as follows: "Ihe results OF the
medical examinations of volunteers
invite thorough study by the medical
Journals. 1t must be admitted that
such statistic as have found their
way into the newspapers in various
parts OF the country are calculated to
cause disagreeable surprise. For
example, the test applied to the mem
bers OF the Michigan National Guard
resulted ill the rejection of about 90
per cent. Members Of the Militia are
supposed to represent a higher av-
erage OF physique than the mass of
men, and yet one fifth Of those who
have been accepted rs members Of
the National Guard Of Michigan wer,.
rejected for physical disability Of ono
sort or other. We have not seen any
compilation of figures for other states,
but there have been number of cases
where The proportion of men in COM
panies, and even regiments, who
could not pass the examination was
still larger than 20 per cent" While
20 per cent have been rejected in the
Eastern and Middle states, numuer
OF Western states have mustered in
nearly the full number enlisted. A
case in point is the volunteers in For.
rey's regiment Of rough riders. OF
those who went to Cheyenne from
Utah only six were rejected and OF
Nevada's quota but one failed to pass
and he WAS deficient in eyesight.
The showing made by Utah and
Nevada has been equaled by the
other intermountain states, which
goes to prove that for physique, the
nation must look to the West-a Sec
ton OF the country which Grover
Cleveland described rs undesirable
states."-Ogden Standard.

NOTES OR BONDS.

Democrats in Congress who are
opposing the issue OF S500,000O00
worth OF bonds are acting in the in
terests Of the people. ,.. ..r,-., -.,..
F. or course, the Republicans raise a
great howl that the Democrats are
~obstructonists," but the Democrats
are simply obstructing an attempt to
place great and unnecessary bur
den Of taxation upon the country.
There are more ways of raising
money with which to pay the expen-
ses of the war than the one way, so
dear to Republicans--that of issuing
bonds with which to make the syndi-
Gates rich and to keep the masses
poor. -.
Treasury notes are just as good as
bonds, being payable in coin, and
they do not carry any interest. Again
there is great quantity of silver
lying idle in the government vaults
which onght to be utilized. The
people know that the Democrats are
fighting for their benefit, and the
Democrats are quite willing to go be-
fore the people on the Issue raised by
the Republicans.
Treasury notes will have to be re-
deemed III the long run just as the
bonds would have to be redeemed,
but there would be no interest to pay
on the notes, and that is why the
money sharks are opposed to them.
Every three months the bondhold-
er would be able to thrust his hand
into the treasury and loot it Of inter
est. He could lot do that If treasury
notes were issued.
"Anrthing to get interest ont OF
the Government" is the cry of the
Republican,. And that is the extent
OF the bond buyers patriotism. -

::ToUs GERMANS.

London. Ie 23.-The Berlin corre-
spondent OF The Times. commenting on
the continued discussion Of the Philip
pine question, says: There would be a
storm Of indignation in the German press
IL the United States were to become
master OF the Philippines while Germany
got nothing. In the view of many Ger
man politicians anything would be bet
ter than that, and they would even pre-
fer to see the Intervention of several
European powers to protect the life and
property of their subjects from the
rebels, followed by the acquisition of a
naval station for each OF them. There
is In fact a strong inclination to repeat
the Chinese drama at Kiao-Chou wher-
ever an opportunity is afforded. Rela-
lively to what Germany already pos
sessos she has everything to gain by
such a policy of fair shares all around.
There can be little doubt that no
European power or combination OF DOW
ers would venture to prevent the United
States and Great Britain from settling
the future OF the Philippines conjolntly.
or at least under the protection of their
conjoint naval forces. Continental opin-
ion would not only speedily acknowledge
the strength Of an Angio-American naval
alliance. but would be practically unani-
nous against mourning the risk OF the
commercial consequences of a breach
with the United States"

YELLOW FEVER IN CUBA.
sargeon General s~ternberg on the Danger
From the Disease There.

Sargeon General S~ternberg ON the Danger
From the Disease There.
Surgeon General Sternberg writes to
The Army and Navy Journal:
"In your issue of April 23, page 642,
the statement is made that General
Sternberg Expresses confidence in the
excellent sanitary provisions Of the mil
itary service, and does not fear that yell
low fever will prove more harmful to
the troops than diseases which are com
mon in the northern ATTITUDES, etc.
81 have not expressed any such OPP
timistic opinion, and regret to say that
it is not justified either by my studies
relating to yellow fever or by my per-
sonal experience. History teaches that
when a considerable number of unpro-
tected persons are exposed in a yellow
fever infected locality during the
months when this disease is most preva-
lent May l to Nov. 1, in the latitude
of Havana) an epidemic almost infalli-
bly, results. In the last week of April of
last year there were IL deaths and 70
new cases Of yellow fever in the city Of
Havana. Now, suppose that we had a
similar number of cases at the same sea-
son in New Orleans and that 90, 900
strangers from the north should go there
to spend the summer, what would be
the result? All past experience supports
the belief that a majority of them would
have yellow fever, and that from 90 to
40 per cent of those taken sick would
die.
"This is what / anticipate would
happen If I should send an army to oc-
cupy Havana, or any other infected sea-
port on the coast of Cuba during the
summer months. If, however, these
troops could be camped upon high land
in the interior and circumstances were
such as to enable them to comply with
all Of the exactions of modern sanitary
science, / am of the opinion that our
loss from yellow fever would not be Sc
rious. But in time of war military COM
manders are expected to take their troops
to the points occupied by the enemy and
a picnic in the interior, with frequent
changes of camp, etc., is perhaps not
exactly what we may expect. l am not
an alarmist, but ! believe in looking
facts fairly in the face and cannot allow
your statement of my opinion to have
currency at such an important moment
in our country's history without a pro-
test

the ports are or not blockaded, or
whether the cargoes are contraband or
not. This action is taken under the
Joint resolution of April 22. the enforce
ment OF which has been entrusted by
the president TO the secretary OF the
treasury. The power bestowed by that
resolution is broader than powers under
international law as now construed. and
its exercise draws tighter the ines about
