FORCInLE ANNEXATION.


In Sundays New York Journal Col
Bryan has a strong article against ma
t.onal expansion. lie quotes jefferson TO
sustain him. and he also quotes from Nc
! Klnley and Blaine 20 prove that anything
/ like forcible annexation was abhorent to
| the American people before the war with
Spain. For instance, he quotes from the
message Of President Mckinley Of Dec 6,
1897 a little more than a year ago, as fol-
lows: 81 speak not of forcible annexa-
ton for that is not to be thought Of
That, by our code Of morality, would be
criminal agsres-io
How does the President reconcile his
present position with that expressed in
the message from which the foregoing
quotation is made? 1t may be said that
the Philippines are not TO be annexed
that they are to he heid under military
rule. But what difference in principle is
there in holding them under military rule
and annexins them? If it is against our
code of morality to annex them fOrcibly
is it not just as much against our code
military government? But, it may be
urged. the Fi!ipnos have not expressed
any opposition to being subjected to our
rule II is true they have not, but it must
not be forgotten that we have not given
them an opportunity TO DO So And it is
pretty safe to say that we do not in
tend to give them an opportunity. We
know mat the leader of the insurgents
against the rue of Spain and The only
recognized leader of the Fnpinos at pres
ent, Aguinaldo, is opposed TO being sub
ject to the United States in any way. He
and those acting with him insist upon in
dependence fol the Philippines They rep
resent the FEipinos to a greater extent
than anybody else. Therefore, If We take
possession of the Philippines we must do
so forcibly
We may contend that our possession of
the Islands came from Spain, but the Fill
pinos contend that Spain undertook to
transfer to US what she did not have. It
may be that the Filipinos will not resist
our possession of the islands. That Is a
matter, however, that Is in doubt. Evil
IDENTIFY. we do not expect that our rule
viii be welcomed by the whole Filipino
population, because we have sent to the
islands very considerable part of our
navy and large military force And the
indications are that we shall send more
troops there.
But the taking of the Philippines will
not be much greater criminal agrees
sion" than was the taking possession of
Hawaii. We annexed the Hawaiian is
lands without the consent of the people
of the islands. 1t is true that we made
a treaty with the Hawaiian government.
but that government was only a creature
of the government of this country. That
government was not government of the
people. II was government in spite of
the people. So from present appearances,
our government in the Philippines win be
a government not with the consent of the
people of those islands, but a government
against their will.

The Associated Press dispatches Of a
day or two ago told of a quiet and or
derby lynching that had taken place at
Scottsburg, Ind. After waiting a day or
two, we observe that the special dispatches
sent out about the occurrence also Law
stress upon the fact that it was a 'ouiet
and orderly lynching. All of the Scots
burg correspondents seem determined
that it shall be known that the affair was
not perpetrated upon the spur of the mo-
ment and in the heat of excessive anger,
but that the murder was committed after
due elaboration, in a quiet and orderly
manner What shall be said of the COM
munity which commits murder in that
fashion?

rested, and toy worth few cents was
found on him. Upon investigation it was
found that there was the sum of $l4.C0g

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Tribune the other day
printed figures to show that American
firms are making one-third of the man
ufactures of the world. I'm other words"
says the Philadelphia Record Dem) in
comment America is not only the gran
airy but the chief workshop of mankind:
and that fact Of Itself is reason enough
why she should have a currency that
would pass as rapidly with her custom
ers abroad as with her own people at
home"
The Norfolk Va.) Landmark Dem1
says: Just as we expected, the new poI-
icy of colonial expansion which the ad-
ministraton is trying so hard to force
upon the country is going to be used as a
lever to induce Congress to grant monopo
listic privileges of various sorts. This
ship-subsdy and this prohihitive naviga-
ton law are two conspicuous items They
ought both TO be beaten along with the
imperialstic movement in which they are
finding aid and comfort. If, as the SUBJ
sldy advocates admit, we have reached the
point where we can build ships cheaper
than they can be built in Europe, why
are boundes and elephantine statutes
needed? If we can build more cheaply
only time is required for our mere hant
marine to restore itself"
The Chicago Record Qnd) thinks that
those who argue against annexation on
the ground Of unconsttutionahty are
wasting time. And not only tlat. but they
are hurting the side Of the cause which
they Champion. Says the Record "The

As AN OCCUPATION.

II is only when man is in dire
straits that the army occurs to him as
an occupation. The impression exists
that service in the army is not only
ill-paid in the present but is without
promise in the future. Yet an exam
ination of the condition of service
shows it to be fairly remunerative.
While it is not the place for q man
who can organize trust, good many
willing workers in the country earn
less money in year than the private
in the United States army. The pri-
vate begins with a monthly wage of
$l3. One dollar per month is added
each year until the sixth, when it
reaches $1S. Promotion is reasonably
sure to follow merit. The educated
private may compete for commission
and he easily enters the lists of nom
commissioned officers. A sergeant in
the line is paid $50 per month, and in
the engineer, ordnance and signal
corps the pay may reach $50. Food,
lodging and medical attendance are in
cluded in the pay.

The decision of Judge Morrow declar.
ing the coal trust of Californis unlawful
is one Of the most important legal judg-
msnts ever made in this State. The
Chronicle set itself against the trust and
its exposure led up promptly to Judge
Morrow's decision. Ii is not often that
good newspaper work of that kind bears
fruit so quickly.
The trick Of the baffisd trust was TO
keep down the number Of dealers in coal
in different localities. Nobody could buy
coal in California unless he yielded to the
terms demanded. and then only il the
combination so willed. No man once
granted the right TO sell coal to the pub
lie could do so unless be agreed to charge
prices fixed for him. BY these tactics
the trust held the coal trade'so well in
hand that it stihed competition and
charged such prices as it saw ft. Never
was there g drmer monopoly Until the
Chronicle tackled ii. The victory is the

Gold Creek Operasions.

Mystery still shrouds some Of the
operations around Gold Creek. II is
believed that some Of the stockholders
who have the financial backing neces-
sary to put the enterprise on its feet
again, are DESTROYS Of having reor-
ganization. These are the people who
bought of the one million shares OF
treasury stock. The people who hold
the two million shares OF stock, OF
course. are in control. A desperate
effort was made the last day OF the
year to save some OF the company's q
best quartz claims by beginning the
assessment work, but Ii is reported
that even this has stopped. One Of
the latest moves, reported through
Elko, is the removal OF Vice President
Hutchings from New York to go into
partnership with Mayham in Denver.

believed nothing will be done at Gold

PIONEER FROZEN TO DEATH.

Word was received in Wadsworth
last week that Charley Martinez had
found Cyrus Kellogg on the trail in
IXL Canyon, Churchill county, frozen
to death. The supposition is that
kellog left his cabin near his Black
Prince mine on some errand in the
hills, became bewildered and lost his
way during tthe late cold .stormy
weather, with the result as above.
The scene of Kellog's death:is nearly
40 miles from Saltwater and party
left the latter point to bring the body
to Saltwater for burial. Senator
Kaiser says Cy Kellog was .about 80
years old and lived in Churchill coun-
ty for 35 years. He owned some mills
in Silver City, Nevada, in the pioneer
days but went broke. He moved to
Churchill and started to raise stock,
the Kellogg horses being known all
over the coast. He paid $1,000 for q
stallion which he turned loose among
his range horses. HIS owned the
Black. Prince, silver and zinc mine,
for which he was offered $4,000 but
refused it against the advice of Senator
Kaiser, his closest friend. twill take
