President McKinIey's Mistake.

From the New York Evening Telegram
AS President Mckinley will name the
American commissioners 1t is for him to
determine whether they shall represent
what Senator Hanna calls 1.-The bigger senti-
ment' of the country in favor of maintain
ing hold on the Philippines or the minor
sentiment that would give them up. This
gives him an opportunity to rectify. in a
measure. at least, his mistake in abandon
ing to joint commission the exclusive
right of the United States to determine their
future.
Spafn's Sovereignty Cannot Be Re-
stored.
From the Kalamazoo Telegraph.
This nation has been the instrument Of
Providence for the uplifting of downtrodden
people; and our sacred duty viii not be
performed until we give to all these people
better government, more happiness and
more civilization. Spain's rule in ali of her
Islands has been cruel and barbaric. One
thing Is certain, and that is SPANS former
sovereignty will not be restored
1t Is not for this country to shirk its mani
fest duty notwithstanding imaginary dan
gers. Imperialism and colonial possess
sions are not In themselves dangerous and
should not deter US for a moment from
completing the work OF civilization that has
been thrust upon us.

The Philippine question, also, is not to be
settled off-hand. Whatever our wishes, we
cannot retreat from Manila or get away
from the archipelago, without fulfilling Ger
tain engagements contracted ty our pres
ence there. The course indicated by the
President, namely, to hold the city, .harbor
and bay of Manila pending arrangements
for the future disposition and government
of the islands, was Imperative on the gov
eminent.

"IIOId'' Means We Will '|keep."

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
What shall be done with the Philippines
will be settled by the treaty of peace, but,
pending it, the United States will occupy
and hold the city, bay and harbor OF
Manila" And hold" means land Will
keep them, or it means nothing. We are
thus to be permanently invested with the
key Of the Philippines. The control, lispo-
sition and government of the rest OF the
Philippines will be settled by the treaty
The argument which victory, interest, hon.
or, obligation, power responsibility, civili-
zation, peace and aversion to anarchy will
make for our retention of the Philippines
should be unanswerable.

Spain is anxious to have the blockade of
Havana removed SO soon as she accepts our
terms, and she wants to know how soon
this can be done. Although she gives up
Cuba when she accepts the terms proposed.
she wants to send succor to her starving
people. One of President McKinIey's first
steps after the announcement of SPANS
acceptance will be to remove this blockade.
This afternoon the opinion prevails in
high official circles that SPANS official ac-
eeptance of the American terms will reach
the White House about Saturday, or rot
later than the first of next week
