A NEW GOLD COUNTRY.

In pamphlet sent by Ambassador
ippines, the interesting assertion is
made that they are destined to be fac
tors in the worlds gold production. 1t
is said to be the only part of the world
where pay ore is found within a few
hundred yards Of the anchorage of sea-
going vessels. In the sand and gravel
OF every brock that leads into the Pa
cific gold is found. There are promis-
ing fields for hyfdaulic mining. So far
only the fringe of the auriferous forma-
ton has been touched
Mining was practiced in the Philip
pines long before the advent of the
Spaniard. The aluvial deposits have
been worked over and over again by the
Chinese and Malay traders---but prim-
itively. The tools-a washing board
and wooden bowl-form a prominent
feature in the household utensils of all
native villages in the auriferous re-
gions. The process of grinding quartz
is extremely rude. 1t consists of a
block moved by buffalo power like a
mill stone on a neither block. Float
gold and auriferous pyrites are lost in
the process.
Mining as a skillful and intelligent
industry does not exist in the Philip
pines to-day The most serious imped-
iment to mining is the utter absence of
practical roads The natives trudge
contentedly in single file through the
trackless forests.
There is no official control of the out
put of gold or tax upon it, and there
fore little is known of its volume,
though it is said to be considerable.

principles which were invoked in the IN
auguration of the war will be observed in
its prosecution and conclusion. If con-
test undertaken for the sake of humanity
degenerates into war of conquest we
shall find it difficult to meet the charge of
having added hypocrisy to greed. Is OF.
national character so weak that we cam
not Withstand the temptation to appropri-
ate the first piece of land that comes
within our reach?
ITO inf1ict upon the enemy all possible
harm is legitimate warfare, but shall
we contemplate a scheme for the coloni-
cation of the orient merely because our
fleet won remarkable victory In the har-
Dor of Manila?
Our guns destroyed a Spanish fleet, but
can they destroy that self-evident truth.
that governments derive their just pow
ers. not from superior forces, but from
the consent of the governed?
Shall We abandon just resistance to
European encroachment upon the western
hemisphere in order TO mingle In the con-
troversies of Europe and Asia?
IF others turn to thoughts of aggran-
dizement and yield allegiance to those
who clothe land covetousness IL the at
people of Nebraska will, if I mistake not
their sentiments, plant themselves upon
the disclaimer entered by Congress and
expect that good faith shall characterize
the making of peace as it did the begin
ming of the war. Goldsmith calls upon
statesmen
=" To judge how wide the limits stand
Betwixt splendid and happy land
If some dream of the splendors of a
heterogeneous empire enc-c.ing the globe
we shall be content to aid in bringing en-
during happiness to a homogeneous people
consecrated to the purpose of maintain
ing government of the people, by the
people and for the people,"
And to this eternal truth SO we'll
spoken by the great Democrat of the
West all patriotic Americans must say
Amen.

against colonial policy for the United

and believes in looking to the wisdom
Of the revolutionary fathers as the pole
star of our narional progress and true
greatness, and this leads away from the
policy Of grabbing with It's ac.

AID FROM FRANCE.
A Society Sends 500 Francs for Army
Hospital Use.

Washington, June 16.-The State De-
partment has received from United
States Consul Thackara, at Havre,
translation of letter received by him
from the president of the Havre branch
of The Association DIES Danes Fran
caises." Mr.. Thackara says: This
branch of the association, composed OF
ladies and gentlemen belonging to the
very best families Of Havre, was found
ed in 1882, for the purpose of rendering
aid to wounded soldiers in time of war,
or to the victims of any great public
calamity. 1t organizes every year
course of lectures treating upon ele-
mentary medicines and minor surgery
for the instruction of nurses and am
bulance assistance The letter is as
follows:
"Sir:-I have the honor to inform
you that on the occasion Of the ball r.
Gently given at the Hotel Frascau, in
this city, the local committee of the
Association des Danes Franchises de-
cided to reserve the sum of 500 francs
from the receipts of the ball to be used
in aid of the wounded in the American
army.
This amount will be added to vari-
Gus other subscriptions, brought to-
gether by our central committee of
Paris. for the purpose of purchasing
delicacies, medicines, lint, bandages,
etc l hope you will be good enough
to inform your government of this fact.
THE committee has not forgotten the
aid rendered and the assistance offered
the French army during the war of 1870,
and it trusts that the interest now
taken by the French people in your be-
half will serve not only to assure you
of our profound sympathy but also dis
pei any unhappy misunderstanding that
may at present exist.
1.-THE bonds of friendship which have
so long united France with America
are sufficient in themselves to denote
the feelings and sentiments of both ma
lions. | am, sir, very respectfully

can be no danger in acquiring contigu-
Gus territory or territory on this con-
tinent, but when We abandon our time
honored policy of keeping aloof from
the quarrels and arrangements of the
Old World and enter the lists with
those nations as an earth-grabber, we
abandon our greatest safeguard and
embark on a policy that contains moth
ing for us but trouble, vast and burden
some expense and great danger to our
most cherished institutions.
All the valuable territory acquired by
our government has been annexed un-
der the auspices of the Democratic par
ty and that party now stands ready to
welcome Mexico or Canada, but ii also
stands unalterably against reaching out
beyond the bounds of this continent
and snatching territory and mixing
with the affairs of other nations on the
other side of the world These nations
have left us alone and not interfered
with our affairs in this hemisphere be-
cause we have left them alone and have
set up the Monroe doctrine as limit
beyond which we would not go nor per-
nit them to come. Now, If we throw
down this barrier and violate the Mon
roe doctrine, ourselves, by embarking
in a war of conquest for territorial ag-
grandiZement we can no longer say
Hands off" to the nations of the Old
World, but must permit them to do on
this hemisphere what We propose to do
On their half of the EARTH namely, lay
violent hands on what they can.
And against this policy which
would bring about this condition the
Democracy will ever stand firm as
rock 1t is no less dangerous than un-
American.

AND STILL MORE VOLUNTEERS.

According to the Washington cores
pondent of the New York Evening Post,
an officer of high repute in military cir
Giles is quoted as saying that within two
weeks. unless the present plans of the
war are materially changed, there will
be another call for 1000 volunteers.
Now. if the war is soon to be ended,
as the administration has been prom
Using. why this additional volunteer
army-supposing it will be called for?
According to the general belief we
have a good many more soldiers in the
field now than will be needed unless
the war is to be prolonged greatly.
Is the war to be prolonged? Is the
administration fortifying itself to meet
the contingency of having the war drag
on till about the time say, of the mex.
elections and then to finish it in a
grand whirl of glory that will help the
g. o. p. immensely at the polls? We
have heard this suspicion whispered
more than once as the reason why the
war is prolonged at the expense of
American lives and treasure. when it
could certainly have been ended much
over a month ago with a comparatively
small force by the reduction and cap
ture of Havana.
If this suspicion that the war is be-
ing prolonged for selfish partisan polt-
ical purposes is justified the people will
surely find it out and the persons and
the party responsible will be made to
pay dearly for it.
