ton to heaven.
Not a Partisan War
"I do not narrow this war to a partisan
one, but the annexation of the Phflipplnes
is narrowed to that by the democratic party
and 1t will be to our credit or to our dis-
credit whatever results come from that
movement. The republican party must take
the responsibility and assume the blame,
if there be any, and likewise be given the
praise of history If the annexation should
turn out of benefit, not only to humanity,
but to this country.
II am opposed to an extra session of con-
greSS for many reasons. In the first place,
l do not think we had better be in a hurry
in legislatlng for the new possessions. 1t
will pc better for this country and for Porto
Rico and the Philippines themselves to keep
them under military rule for year. They
will have had time to become better ac-
quainted with American methods by then
and we will have had the time to consider
carefully the needs of their people. Bes des.
they will have an exceptionally good gov
ernment under our arms and learn to see
the difference between the Spanish and the
American idea of military government. l
see no haste necessary In reforming the
currency. long discussion at this time
will only do harm. We have plenty or rev.
enues, and in my heart l believe that the
silver issue is dead
The Senator's Optimist
This last remark illustrates the optimism
of the senator. He thinks free silver dead
because he wants 1t dead; just as the free
silver leader thinks it more alive than ever
because he wants it to live, squawl and
kick.
1t is funny to hear the different opinions
expressed by incoming statesmen on this
issue. Their opinions are all based on their
desires. There are three distinct opinions
on the life and death of free silver. The
republicans to a man predict it's death, if
indeed it has not already given it's expir-
ing gasp. The democrats have but one
opinion among them all: That free silver
is stronger than ever, and that, eliminated
from other issues, it will be shown to be
so
Then there are the gold democrats and
many interests of the east. They take a
middle course and declare that If congress
does not pass currency reform laws and
thereby cinch the present public opinion by
means of an extra session that the sound
money men will be disgusted and that there
will be danger OF free silver triumphing In
1900.
1t is probable that there is some truth in
each opinion held, and that which Is more
nearly correct will only be determined In
the year of our Lord 1900.

which the Independent" treated about
the same time as that now beginning TO
/ engage attention. That other evil is
the spurious citizenship of such fellows
as DR.. Sanguilly, who is an American
citizen when he wants the aid or the
| Government to help him out of a Span
/ ish prison, but is Cuban insurgent as
soon as he, is free again. OF such as
| Sanguilly are many-perhaps most-of
| the Americans in Cuba. When not in
danger of Imprisonment by Spanish au-
thority they are Cuban patriots and use
American soil as rendezvous for fill
clustering, for plotting, and, as Horatio
Rubens did a few days ago, for insolent
attempts to influence American legisla-
| ton or executive action where they are
interested.
4 American citizenship is almost un-
guarded and any rascal with an elastic
| conscience or none can make a lying
declaration of intention to become citl-
zen; commit perjury in securing final
admission, and then prostitute that cit
izenship to the uses and purposes of
some other Government, real or incho-
ate, like the Cuban republic. That form
! of spurious citizenship and the tolera-
ments has done something, at least,
toward bringing the United States into
the present trouble and to the verge of
war and it is high time that an end
should be put to both evils.

be shocked, and it would not be sur

substitute a gold for the silver mace.

GERMANY AND THE UNITED

We do not see any reason why it should
/ be and in fact we do not believe it.
| There are about three millions of Ger
mans in the United States besides an
infusion of German blood among native
born citizens. They are good Ameri-
cans and we do not believe that their
! kin beyond the sea have any i'll feeling
| for the country and the people with
whom their relatives and friends have
cast their lot and are living happily and
prosperously. We can we'll believe that
in German official circles and those un
der the influence thereof the feeling
would be against democratic America
and in favor of monarchical Spain, and
there is some commercial jealousy ex-
istent, but aside from that we believe
the German people like the United

The London correspondent of the New
York Times which, by the way, is
very far from being unpatriotic in this
juncture, though it is equally as far
from being radically a war advocate,
declares that his observation and study
reveals to him that throughout Eng
land the people are applauding the dig
nified and firm position of the Amer
lean Administration. He adds that the
English, who have heretofore sneered
at American diplomacy and etact, are
now free to say that the American
President is bearing himself nobly, and
that our people by their spirit and
manifestations of determination in the
interests of humanity are applauded
throughout England, and that there is
no longer any sheer at the Yankee. "
Well, that is something. To win the
esteem and praise of the conservative
English is certainly creditable.
