Republicans Showing Their CoIors

Almost every day new evidence crops
out that Il is the purpose of the Republic
can party TO favor retaining possession OF
all the territory we acquire by conquest
from Spain. The vote in the House on
the resolution providing for the annexa-
tion of Hawaii is convincing evidence that
the Republican party, believing that the
policy of territorial expansion is popular,
has virtually decided to adopt that policy.
A conspicuous example of the change OF
position on this question that is taking
place among Repu olican leaders is that
furnished by Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew.
A week or two ago Mr.. Depew, in an
interview with a representative of a Eu
ropean paper took strong grounds against
the retention by the United States OF per-
manent possession OF the Philippine Isl
ands He stated some excellent reasons
why they should not acquire territory dis
tant from their shores, and particularly
why they should not undertake to build
up a system of colonies
Mr. Depew, however, has changed his
mind. He has noticed the direction in
which his party is going, and he has male
london on Wednesday, he was asked his
opinion of the policy of Imperialism. He
Is quoted as follows: New conditions are
arising all The time with the progression
of the war, which make it difficult to
keep out or get out of this colonizing bust
ness. We must take into view the tenn
per of our people, who would certainly
never give any colonies back to Spain.
Transferring them or any of them to
European power would lead to Euro
pean war in sixty days. 1t looks as if we
would have to paint our white elephant
brown and teach him to work.
Mr.. Depew says we must keep the
colonies which We acquire from Spain be-
cause the people will not consent that
they shall be returned 10 Spain, and We
cannot transfer them to any European
power because that would get US into a
European war There is some reason Of
course in the excuses which Mr. Depew
gives for territorial expansion, but, after
ALL is it not a fact that the Republican
party is favorng the acquisition of terri
tory and the control of colonies because
il thinks it is popular to do 50? 1t looks
very much that way. The Republican
leaders are studying public sentiment
closely, and they are for policy of impe-
rialism because they think that by means
! of 1t their party can keep itself in power.
They would abandon it quickly if they
saw unmistakable signs that the majority
was against it.

Negro officers.

No great effort has been made yet to
raise regiments of negroes, although the
negroes seem to be very willing to enlist
There has been some difference of opin-
ion as to whether the negro companies
should have white men or negroes for Of
ficers. That point has been settled prac-
tically by the Governors of North Caro-
lima and Virginia. Both of them have
issued commissions to negro officers. Gov
Tyler of Virginia. a Democrat of the
strictest sort, is quoted as saying that I'M
der his oath of office he could not refuse
to appoint the officers elected by the mem
bers of the negro companies-that the ne
gro companies are entitled to the same
privileges which the white companies en-
JOY.
Now that the Governors of Virginia and
North Carolina have made a precedent, 1t
is hardly probable that there viii be any
further question about the matter Negro
companies will have negro officers in all
cases in which they express a preference
for them. The negro officers will, Of
course have to pass an examination. The
negro volunteers will be better satisfied
to have officers Of their own color, but it
is probable that they would fare better
under white officers

Capt. Wildes of the cruiser Boston, at
Manila, in the course of an interesting let
ter to a friend in Boston, relates an incl
dent following the battle of Manila which
illustrates the feeling of the people of that
city and the light in which Euglishmen
look upon the American victory there.
Capt. Wildes says that Spanish lady
visited the Office of the British consul, and
with tears inquired if the Americans were
as bad as described in the proclamation of
Capt Cen August. Madame" an
swered the British consul, honor and vir-
tue are safer in Manila to-day than they
have been in three hundred years" And
the lady went away satisfied.

ship Talbot was off Havana she sighted
a small craft. The small craft had evil

while the men on The Talbot saw a ring of
smoke rise from the little spech off in the
distance, and presently heard the boom
of a gun. The little speck turned out to
be an American tug, armed with two one
Founders, and she had taken the Talbot
for a Spanish warship. There was no pos
sibnity of The Americans misjudging the
character of the Talbot; she was a fight

at her. Nevertheless the little Yankee tug

manner, until she got near enough to see

to let the hair and beard grow. upon the
principle that hair made men look more
fierce and terrible in war. In these mod

get close enough together to note the per-
sonal appearance of each other, hence it

The Supreme Court of Louisiana has
rendered a decision which in effect says
that the electric street railways of New
Orleans must sprinkle with water the
streets through which their cars pass. A
street railway company denied that the re-
quirement to sprinkle the streets was a
proper exercise of the police power. The
Supreme Court took the opposite view. The
Picayune says that the street cars raise
"suffocating whIrlwinds of dust" in their
swift passage, hence the decision of the
court will be hailed with delight There
is a sprinkling ordinance in this city, also,
but 1t seems to have become dead letter.
AS a matter of act, however, half dozen
street cars at top speed, in this city, do
not raise as much dust as one one-horse
spring wagon.
