JUSTICE BEFORE ALLIANCE.

III, as seems so clear, the British cabinet
desires an alliance with the United States
IN phe interest of progress and the further
ance OF liberal ideas In government and
commerce, and the extension OF the bless
ings of liberty. the beginning OF such a
movement on England part should be seen
at home under her own flag.
We have rlsked the fortunes OF war 10
libcra,o a people who have never been
under our flag and are OF the Latin rather
than the Anglo-Suxon race. England might
at least grant home rule TO a race she has
held down for two or three centuries In the
worst kind of bondage, before joining us in
a crusade for liberty and civilization. The
world would have more confidence In the
Integrity of British purpose If before seek
Ing such an alliance with US she would give
to Ireland tho homo rule the Irish have
struggled for 80 long.
1t is barely possible that this new or sug-
gested Impeachment between the United
States and Great Britain may have the et-
feet OF fastening Irish home rule There
Ireland among our population who would
look with more favor upon propositions for
an Anglo Saxon alliance were justice.
though tardy done to Ireland, but there are
hundreds Of thousands of native Americans
who would draw closer to England than
now after such contamination. British
intelligence ought to know this and does
possibly know IT, II therefore, an alliance
with us Is n cherished object of British
diplomacy 1t would seem that so serious an
injustice toward ireland would be removed
without much further delay.
Home rule for the Emerald Isle Is neyi-
table sooner or later, but how soon or how
late? The ultra tory sentiment In England
hopes. we are told that the local govern
ment bill proposed by the conservatives will
kill the home rule agitation, but Mr.. Her
bert Gladstone thinks not. In recent
speech no declared that "home rnio was
never more alive Than at the present mo-
ment. u fact due to the action of the con-
servative government, who. by the estab-
lishment of county councils In Ireland
would be reduced to a dilemma under which
they would either hayc to take away the
popular powers they had Eiyen--which was
impossiblc--or they would have to give the
Irish home rule which was Inevitable"
Lot us hope Mr. Gladstone is correct and
that Irish home rule will soon become an
accomplished fact. The virtual liberation
OF Ireland would not only strengthen Great
Britain. but hasten the Anglo-Saxon al
lance, IL it be that Britain now desires the
latter

THE PHILIPPINES PROBLEM.

The government seems fully determined
to send large force to the Philippine is
lands to aid In completing a conquest of
that far-otf territory. Compared with this
occupation of the Philippines the seizure
OF Cuba Is light job. although the latter
undertaking may require more fighting and
more men.
The element of cost and trouble and pos
sible danger In the future in the occupa-
tion of the Philippines is distance.-Manila
being over G000 miles from San Francisco.
1t means three weeks delay at the least.

Chicago Times Herald.
Washington, May 16-Spain's naval
power IN the waters of the West Indies
can not match that OF the United States
While 1t Is true that the heavy cruisers NJ
the Cape Verde fleet are infinitely superior
to the antiQuated vessels DESTROYED by
Dewey in Manila bay. the odds are all
against them when they are compared with
tho steol-clad monsters under SAMPSON
command. Leaving out of consideration,
quite. the few unarmored ships that are
with Sampson and the four unarmored
ships that are now supposed to be with the
spanish Cape Verde cruisers, it would GER
tahly seem, theoretically at least, thai the
Americans can easily dispose OF the Span
iards.
The tonnage CT war vessels is significant,
IN comparison. only when vessels are of
similar types, and then not always For A
ship may be lighter in toto, and yet have
as heavy armor plate as a larger ship and
have even heavier guns. On paper, now,
the Spanish cruisers at the West Indies
compare very favorably with the American
shipS outside OF the battleships. But IL

Austin. Texas, May 1S.--Prorninent Crane

the field. urging them to come to the front
for whichever man the writer happened to
be supporting.
One we'll kscwn fri nd of the attorney

three letters from Wynne sources and one
from Sayers source asking for his valuable
support, and others reported a similar cx-
perit nee.
Asked for an expression in the premises
a majority OF the recipients of the mail
matter referred to declined to allow them
selves to be quoted, and some Of them only
smiled and remarked that they would wait
awhile before alignlng themselves. Those
who did talk however, were very emphatic
IN saying that Sayers was their man now
anC that Wynne need expect no support
from them. In fine, it is plain to see that
the Tarrant county candidate is anything
but popular in Crane circles, the style of
campaign he has been conducting having
done a great deal towards chilling any
warm feeling that might have been enter
tanned for him in that direction, and Wynne
is not the only one who may feel the effect
Of the tactics referred to. certain con-
gresham who has been interesting himself
very much in Colonel Wynne's behalf and
who is credited with nursing a healthy and
growing ambition to occupy Chiltons seat

gress, may find that when he gees after it

OF him and his doings in this instance by
people with long memories and sharp

had withdrawn from the race for governor
caused no little comment here. even the

litioal outlook. While both Lavaca and
Dewitt counties were conceded TO Mr.. Say
ers. Mr. Crane had strong supporters in
both counties, who regret that they are de-
prived of the privilege of doing what they
could for him. Mr.. Sayers friends are
iubilant. and believe that he will now have
an easy victory.
